"Excuse me?" The boy felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around slowly, looking down he makes eye contact with a very attractive girl. "Sorry to bother you, but do you know where I can find your teacher, Mr. Yaga?" She asked. She was wearing a school uniform, same as him, but had never seen her around before. "Of course, if I can even find where he is. He likes to roam around a lot, pretending to do work, but I'll help you find him." The man replied. The girl immediately lit up with a big smile. "Great thank you so much!"
"Are you new or something?" He asked as they walked around the school together. "Some what, I actually attend the Kyoto School, I'm a first year." She replied with a smile. Her smile was so bright, it made him feel a certain way. He has been with a lot of women. They were really all the same to him, no one was really special in his eyes. This particular girl was different for some reason, he didn't know why though."Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude and not introduce myself. I'm Y/N L/N." She said, as he stared straight into her eyes. They were a rare, beautiful shade of e/c, surrounded by what looked like a bright shade of pink. He have never seen anything like it before. "Hello?" She interrupted his thoughts. Embarrassed, his cheeks flushed cherry red, as he quickly looked away from the eyes he has gotten so lost in. "Satoru Gojo. Third year here, sorry." He replied, putting a hand behind his neck and letting out an awkward laugh. The girl giggled, "A lot of people do that. I know my eyes are different. I'm used to people staring." She smiled, immediately making the boy smile back.
It took them about an hour to actually find Yaga. Truth is, Gojo knew exactly where he was. He had never felt so much comfort or connection with someone else as much as he did with Y/N. He wanted to talk to her all day. He will never forget the feeling he had for that hour. After that, they kept in contact as friends and talked frequently for 2 years. They only really ever saw each other whenever their two schools had meetings every other week for a couple days. They were just kids at the time, so they didn't realize that they were actually very much in love with each other.
And to this day, that love between them never went away.
_____9 years later____
"Gojo-Sensei!"
Gojo lifted his head up from his office desk. He had fallen asleep from working all night watching his new student. "Yes Itadori?" The man asked, putting on his dark, black glasses. "You okay? You fell asleep last night, I watched that movie you recommend last night. It was really good! Even thought you spoiled the ending for me." The pinkish haired boy frowned. Gojo laughed, "I knew you would like it kiddo!" He smiled. "But seriously," The young boy started, sliding out a chair from in front of Gojo's desk. He sat down and looked at Gojo. "You seem sad, you're never sad, so what's wrong?" He asked in a concerned tone, putting down a cursed doll in the floor.
Gojo sighed and let out a small, fake, laugh. "Nothing kiddo. I'm just a little tired. The higher ups have been giving me a hard ass time lately, nothing new of course." Gojo lied with a smile.
In actuality, deep inside Gojo just wanted to cry. He hasn't cried since his tragic event exactly 7 years ago. Every anniversary of Y/N's death, he takes the day off. He goes to buy two plates of their favorite sushi and boba. He then takes the food to her grave site where he eats only one plate, placing the other one on top of where she is buried. Today marks the 7th year, so of course he planned on visiting her, but probably will not have time to this year. Ever since Yuji Itadori, the vessel of Sukuna, came into his life he hasn't had much time for anything. The higher ups have been on his ass, especially now that Gojo is faking his death.
It makes Gojo sick to his stomach that he even has to fake his student's death. The concept of death used to feel normal to him, but since losing his dear Y/N, he's actually terrified of it. His students this year are the closest thing to love he's felt since Y/N, so he feels terrible lying to the others about Itadori's death, but in the end he knows it's for the best.
Gojo rubbed Yuji's head. "Listen kiddo, later on tonight I have a meeting with principal Yaga. I need you to stay here and continue practicing with the cursed doll, okay?" Gojo said, getting up from his seat. Yuji groaned, "But Gojo my face hurts from it hitting me so damn much, can't we take a break, pleaasseee" Yuji begged. Gojo chuckled while picking up the doll from the ground, "C'mon, its not that bad, plus I need you to get a strong as possible, once we announce to everyone that you are in fact alive, theres going to be all kinds of people coming after you, so I really need you to prepare to fight for yourself." He replied, placing the doll back on Itadori's lap. "Okay Gojo-Sensei! I'll make you proud, I promise!" Yuji declared. "Attaboy." Gojo smiled.
He reminded him so much of her.....

"So he's dead?" She asked as her e/c eyes widened.
"Looks like it. Sukuna took the idiot boy hostage and ripped his heart out." Mahito laughed, as he flipped a page of his magazine. "Tch. What a waste." The curse said and laughed. Y/N scoffed and sat up from her beach chair, "Please Jogo, you wouldn't last 2 minutes in a fight with Sukuna, How are you a curse and still useless?" She snapped, fixing her face mask. "Oh shut up Y/N, boss is the only reason you're as strong as you are in the first place." Jogo replied. Her cheeks flushed red as she clenched her fists fighting every urge not to exorcise him right now. "Fight me right now then. After all, you're weak." She stood up, facing the curse.
"Can both of you just shut up."
Y/N jumped and quickly sat back down, looking at the dark haired man as he walked through the dimension door. "Y/N." He said with a smirk. She looked up at the man she dreaded the most. "Geto." She replied. Just the thought of that man made her blood boil and being even in the same vicinity as him made her sick to her stomach. "Everyone, play close attention." Geto started, sitting in the seat closest to Y/N. Her heart beat raced faster each second he was next to her. Her eyes started to burn again, causing her to flinch. She reached down in her bag to find her dark glasses.
"As you all know, Sukuna's vessel died, and he was quite essential in our plan, so for now we have to move on to the next step." Geto started. Y/N was getting the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. She knew from the moment her eyes started to burn. "I'm actually not quite sure he's dead, curses are funny like that and will bring people back to life if they benefit from them, just ask Y/N" He said as he grinned. She said nothing as pure hatred ran through her body. "Anyways, if we want our plan to work like we discussed, we need to do something big at the Kyoto Goodwill Event."
Y/N's heart dropped. "What do you mean by something big ,Geto" Y/N frowned, standing up. He chuckled, standing up as he towered over. "You promised in the beginning that you or I weren't going to hurt anyone from the schools." Y/N whispered between her teeth, not breaking eye contact. Geto grinned once more as he cupped her cheek with his hand. "Oh of course my dear Y/N, I promised you weren't going to be forced to hurt anyone, and as you wish I will not either." He whispered back. She sighed in relief and looked down at the ground. "That being said," Geto started, "Jogo and I were having a nice talk when he told me his plans for tonight. You might find them quite interesting, Y/N." Geto said with a cocky grin. Her eyes burned worse than ever now. She dug her nails in her hands, preventing from showing any signs of them hurting. "And what is that Jogo?" Y/N asked, clenching her fists. "Oh that?" Jogo laughed.
"I'm going to kill Satoru Gojo."
