Cataclysm [jujutsu kaisen fanfic]

chapter thirteen

after coming back from the training ground, Shoko left her with a little paperwork before she left to attend to a serious emergency that required her jujutsu. with the paper left untouched on the side of the table, she just sat there while staring at nothing in particular. her feet motion following the ticking sound of the clock.

she did not look like the cheerful one she always had on. the paperwork next to her was unattended as she did not come here to do such works. 

"why are you in such state ?" a voice heard, sounding eerily dark with the hint of amusement. 

a hand gently cupped her cheek from behind her , thumb made a circular motion on it as to express affection. she stayed slouching in the chair, legs spread with one of her arm lay in between, her features still kept the hard look. 

"the sight of them are quite revolting, isn't it ?" 

she stayed quiet, as if she was used to being in his presence and his touches. he stopped the circular motion as he guided her chin up, making Tomoe looked up into his red pair of eyes similar to that color of blood. his skin was smoky like the color of ash burnt from fire. those eyes, kept smiling while staring into her unpleasant look. 

"you choose to do this anyway, and i didn't mind even a bit." he devilish eyes moved to her glossy lips, touching them with the thumb that was gentle caressing her before. 

"although.." he pressed on her lower lips, his long nail grazed a little deeper into it causing her lips to bleed. 

"i am a little unhappy while waiting to see everything unfold." the amusement gone, his eyes just held hers with the hint of possessiveness. 

"i agree to watch what you had planned," his eyes hardened. 

"but it's getting unpretty now.." Tomoe stared into his eyes carefully.

"why exactly.. are you getting involved with these things, and revived Sukuna ?" 

knocked heard from the outside, and a black haired student entered the office.

Megumi looked up, to see a smiling Tomoe with a small wave. 

"Fushiguro-kun. are you hurt somewhere ?" she asked, while Megumi looked around as he approached her and sat at on the bed opposite of her table.

"no.. i just want to talk to you." Megumi said, and his eyes widened when he looked up to her.

"Tomoe-san, your lips.." he mentioned her bleeding lips, that when Tomoe realized she had a cut on it. she chuckled when she grabbed a nearby tissue and held against it.

"sorry, i have a chapped lips." Tomoe lied, but Megumi knew it was a lie. he may looked like he took no interest from his face, but he was quite keen and noticed every little detail of whom he talked to. he pretty sure she took care of her face and health well.
