Chapter Twenty-Nine: Communication

Hiiiii! Hope all is well. Happy reading!😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Toji be honest with me. Are you having second thoughts?" I asked as I sat up. He let out a sigh. "Yes. But it's not going to drive me away. I do have guilt from time to time. But I love you and the kids more. I know if I leave that not only will I be repeating the same mistake, I'll be putting you in harm's way. I'm not down with that. I can't help feeling guilty but I'm also grateful for this opportunity. I get a second chance at life. And I'm going to make it up with Megumi. And I'll do whatever it takes so your nightmare won't come true. I'm not missing out on Naoki growing up." Toji explained. "And you'll talk to me when you feel down?" "Of course." I nodded. "So Naori Zen'in huh? What was she like?" "Aside from the fact that she didn't know you? Not only did she look like me, but she too possessed the twelve eyes. Very intelligent. Naoki was very protective of her. Comforted her whenever she had bad dreams. Megumi was an amazing older brother." "Sounds like it wasn't all that bad." "It went downhill went you came back into our lives. Then six months later we all died except for you." "Well that's not going to happen. But I can't wait to meet Naori." "She doesn't exist Fushiguro." "Not yet." Toji leaned close and kissed me. "We can make her." He deepened the kiss. "No slow down. We can wait until Naoki's older." I replied in between kisses. "Okay we can wait." He agreed. He started kissing my neck. "Fushiguro..." I trailed off. "Yes?" I pulled away and looked at him. "Let's eat." I got up and headed into the kitchen. I heard as Toji followed. He wrapped his arms around me from behind as we walked. "I'm pretty sure the food's cold." He muttered in my ear. He wrapped his hand around my throat and kept one around my waist. "I love you so much. I'll never leave you, unless I'm dead." "Then you better not die on me." "I won't. Can I ask you something?" I turned to him. He looked serious. "What is it?" "Did that dream...that nightmare give you second thoughts about us?" Toji asked. "No. I mean it scared the hell out of me. But that doesn't make me love you less or want to be with you less. As long as you don't leave, you're stuck with me." I locked my pinky with his and we kissed the back of our thumb. I raised an eyebrow. "How'd you know I was going to do that?" I asked. "I didn't. It was just a hunch." I smiled and stood on my toes to kiss him. He smiled and pulled me closer. "I can't wait until we get married." He mumbled against my lips. "And have lots of children together." He added. I felt as Toji placed his hands on my ass and squeezed it. I moaned as he kissed my neck. "Fushiguro..." I called out. "Yes baby girl?" He trailed kisses to my lips and traced his tongue on my bottom lip. He grabbed my throat. "I want you so bad right now." He mumbled against my lips. "You like turning me on, don't you?" He nodded as he bit his lower lip. I removed his hand from my throat and slammed his body against the wall. I trailed my hand down his extremely muscular chest. I slipped my hands down his pants and grabbed his dick. Toji moaned. He exhaled deeply. He wrapped his right arm around my waist tightly. I kept stroking. "Fuck Y/N..." he trailed off. I stroked faster as I heard his breath picked up faster. "Mommy..." I grabbed his throat as I kept stroking. "Call me that again." "Mommy." I bit his lower lip and moaned in his mouth. I walked out of the kitchen. I sat on the sofa in the living room and leaned my head back. "What the fuck Y/N?" Toji angrily yelled. I laughed. "Now you know how I feel." I cheered. I opened my eyes to see him hovering over me. His eyes looked hungry. His chest flexed and I pushed my body to his and thrust against him. "You better stop unless you want to make Naori right now." He demanded. "Don't start something you can't finish." I warned. "I want you so damn bad." He growled. "Not right now." I told him. He pushed himself off and headed into the kitchen. I heard grumbling and dishes clatter. I leaned my head back again. I heard cursing shortly afterwards. "Fushiguro?" I called. I was completely ignored. A few minutes later, he came out and headed for the door. He left out without a word. The door slammed behind him. "What's his problem?" I asked loudly. I got up and headed upstairs. I got in the shower. I washed my hair and hummed. I finished my shower and got out. There was a knock on the door. I ran downstairs. "You really left y-" I cut myself off after I saw Shinosuke standing there when I swung the door open. "Ummm..." I looked down to see myself in a towel still. I laughed nervously. "I just got out of the shower." I obviously stated. Naoki was asleep in his arms. "What brings you back so soon?" I asked. "Well I was wondering if-if you wanted to have lunch with us?" "Us?" "Niseko and I." "So you want me to third wheel?" I asked. "Bring that Zen'in guy of course." "Yeah he ran. Not sure where he went. Anyway let me get dressed." I stepped back and let him in. I closed the door then went upstairs. I finished getting ready. I came downstairs in a fitted red dress. "Wow." Shinosuke laughed nervously. "You look...y-you look beautiful." "I mean you're in a suit. I can't have you the only one showing off." I twirled. Shinosuke cleared his throat. "Wh-when you said he left...what do you mean by that? Like he left left?" I shook my head. "He seemed very sexually frustrated but I could be wrong. I'll give him space. If he doesn't come back, I'll hunt him down and take his head." He nodded. "There's one other thing..." "What's that?" I placed my earrings on. "I love you." Shinosuke choked out. "I love you too. Why are you acting like you're about to die?" "No Y/N..." Shinosuke became anxious. He started pacing with Naoki in his arms. "Your dram had some truths to it." "Wait a minute are you dying? I asked. "No." He sighed and stepped towards me. "I'm in love with you. I have been for four years now. I never told you because I was afraid of ruining our friendship. I told Niseko already and she said it should help me move on once I finally let you know. I don't expect anything from you. I just needed to get it off my chest." He confessed. I stood there stunned. "Then that was a sign. Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" "I never thought you would see my that way." "Well I don't. At least not anymore." He raised an eyebrow. I kissed his cheek. "I guess we both were too afraid to ruin our friendship. Come on. I want to meet the girl you like. The woman of my dreams." I joked. I followed him out and locked my door. Shinosuke strapped Naoki in the car seat. I watched as he triple checked. I got in. He got in and drove off. I took off my contacts and rubbed my eyes. Sometimes I wish I never needed them. A car was swerving in the far distance. I grabbed the wheel and swerved. "Y/N what the hell?!" Shinosuke asked. He tried to take the wheel. "There's a swerving car coming!" I made a left sharp turn as the car got closer. The person crashed into the tree. I let go of the wheel. "What the hell?! How did you know this?" "I saw it coming when I took my contacts out. I can see the far distance." "Like a Byakugan?" "No. I can't see through objects or humans but it's similar. I can see the entire car as a car." I looked in the back seat to see Naoki awake. "Mama!" He called out. I smiled at him. "I'm starting to think all of my dreams are coming true and I don't like that." "Should we call the police?" I looked behind me. "Looks like someone already did." Shinosuke pulled off. I placed my contacts back in and covered my face with my hands. Shinosuke grabbed my hands from my face. "Hey. It's going to be alright. We're all alive thanks to you. Don't stress yourself out." "What am I supposed to do when I'm not around?" "Have faith and believe that we'll be safe. You cannot save everyone Y/N. But I damn sure won't let anything happen to Naoki." "Nothing can't happen to you either." "It won't. But if-" "Don't say it." "If something bad does happen to me, I'm okay with that. I'm prepared for my fate." "I told you not to say it." I snapped while glaring at Shinosuke. He kept his eyes on the road. The thought of losing him scares me. Him being okay with death is even more terrifying. I cannot lose either of them. Life with Naoki or Shinosuke won't be the same. Calm down. It's not going to happen. It's just a bad coincidence. Shinosuke pulled up and parked. "Shinosuke...I have-a tiny part of me still loves you. In that way." I said before getting out. I grabbed Naoki. "Wait a minute. What?" He asked. "It's not up for discussion. "Wait you what?" I closed the back door. "I'm not doing anything to sabotage you. Let's go. We're probably late." Shinosuke grabbed me. "So you're going to act like you didn't say what you just said back there?" "Yeah. There's nothing to say. We've communicated. And I love Fushiguro more." "Okay fine." We headed inside. "Hello. How can I help you?" The host greeted. "I have a reservation under Shigarashi Shinosuke." I watched as she looked it up. She nodded. "Ah yes. I see one of your guests has already arrived. Right this way." We followed as she escorted to the table. Niseko was there. She stood up. She looked exactly like my dreams. She hugged Shinosuke. She shook my hand. "Nice to meet you Ms. Takahashi." "Y/N is fine." I corrected. Shinosuke sat next to her and I sat across from them. I held Naoki in my lap. He started slamming his hands on the table. I laughed. "So uh...Niseko knows everything." Shinosuke spoke up. "So she knows about the nightmare I've had?" He nodded. "Well I can say that you do look exactly like how I saw you." She smiled wide. "Thank you." "Y/N are you okay? You're shaking?" She asked me. "Huh?" I looked down. "Oh." I laughed nervously. "Yeah no I'm fine. We avoided a fetal car crash." I told her. She gasped. "Oh my god! Are you hurt?" "No we're all fine." Naoki stood up and grabbed my hair. A waitress came and placed down our menus. "Can I start you off with anything?" "I'm going to need some wine please." I ordered. "Make that a double." Niseko said. "And for you sir?" "Just water for me." "I removed Naoki's fingers and moved my hair. "I'll be back with your drinks." I picked up the menu and looked through it. Naoki sat down and pointed. "Fish." I told him. "Ish!" He giggled. I kissed his cheek. I kept looking through the menu as the couple talked. Everything looked so good. I also needed to find something for Naoki can enjoy. He's not really a picky eater, but I don't want something that has bones. I placed the menu down. I stared past them. A guy with blue hair in a suit sat down. He seemed to be angry. He was the same guy in my dreams. I got up. "Y/N?" I heard my name faintly. I gave Naoki to Niseko and walked to the guy's table. "Um hi." I greeted him. He glared at me. "Finally I've been waiting for my waitress. I've been ready to order for the past half hour." "Whoa there I'm not a waitress." "Well what do you want?" He snapped. "Are you human?" I asked. He looked at me shocked. "Are you stupid? Of course I am." I laughed. "I don't believe you." I took out my contacts and stared at him. He was immediately horrified. "Domain Expansion: Infinite life." I said as I broke two of my pointer fingers. It worked. I stopped my domain and put my contacts back in. "Y-You're crazy! Who are you?" "Nobody important." I said as I walked away as I placed my contacts back in. I healed my fingers. I grabbed Naoki and sat back down. "Y/N what the hell just happened?" Shinosuke asked. I lowered my voice. "That is Chikao. Well I thought it was. But he's just a normal human being." "C-Chikao? You thought that was the Chikao? Y/N are you crazy?" Shinosuke panicked. "Listen I just needed to make sure everything was fine." "What if he was Chikao? You knows what happens next." "I know and I would do it with no hesitation. I would make sure you keep being Naoki's godfather and be the one to tell Fushiguro what happened." "Who's Chikao?" Niseko asked. I looked at Shinosuke. "I thought she knew everything?" "Not this. That wasn't my part to tell. I only told her how you knew her in your dreams and how I died." I looked at Niseko. "Do you know about curses?" I asked her. "I heard of them but I never see them." "Okay you may know a little something. Anyway have you heard of Ryomen Sukuna?" "You mean the king of curses?" I nodded. "That's the one. Do you know I'm a Jujutsu Sorcerer?" "Well I do now." "Fair enough. Anyway in my dream, Chikao was a curse a lot stronger than Sukuna. The only way to kill him was a Ritual exercise. And in order to do that, I'd need my blood mixed with his hair and place it in a demonic circle. Then I'd set it on fire. It's basically binding my soul with his and when he dies, I die shortly after." I explained. "Oh my god. And you were willing to do that just now?" Niseko asked. "Yes without a doubt. As long as it means everyone's safe. This curse fed on human blood." "Like a vampire?" "Kind of. But they don't exist." "But Y/N you cannot do that. You have a son. And a man who loves you. Not to mention Hoshiyomi still needs you. The school needs you, the coffee shop needs you. I need you. You're my best friend. You can't die on me." Shinosuke freaked. Niseko grabbed his face. "Look at me." He looked at her. "She's fine. Nothing happened. Everything is okay. He was just a normal guy. Calm down." He nodded and she kissed him. I smiled. "I like her." I announced. The waitress came back and we ordered. Shinosuke handed over his bag. "There's some snacks in there for Naoki." I took it. "Thanks." I dug in his bag. I pulled out a box. Naoki grabbed it. I laughed. I opened it and he stuck his hand in. He pulled out a cracker and ate it. "Someone's eager." I joked. He ate some more. I put the box away. "No more." I told him. I handed the bag back over. I grabbed the napkin and wiped his hands and mouth. I stood him up and had him facing me. He looked in my eyes. I smiled causing Naoki to smile. Naoki hugged me. I rubbed his back. "You ever thought about having kids of your own?" Niseko asked. "No. I mean I would love for Naori to exist but right now, Naoki is enough. Plus I'd rather be married first. And did I adopt him yet? Or no?" "No, you didn't. And he's not even three years old yet. Come back to reality." Shinosuke reminded me. "Thanks. Anyway he's a Zen'in. They're a real handful. They're crazy, stubborn and moody." "But he's so precious." Niseko pouted. "He is. For now." I agreed. "I deal with his father, his older brother and aunt. They're all good people but it's a lot. Just earlier today, Fushiguro and his eldest son was about to go at it." I shrugged. "But I'm prepared for whatever personality Naoki is going to have." "You call them crazy like your clan wasn't." Shinosuke pointed out. "Yeah well they're dead." "I'm sure Hoshiyomi is crazy too." "Oh no he is." I agreed. "So how long have you two been sneaking around?" I asked. "Two months. We've went on three dates already so this isn't our first." Niseko said. I nodded. "I'm still third wheeling. This could've been y'all fourth date." "Well I wanted you to meet her." Shinosuke said. "I think I know more about her more than she knows about me." The waitress set our plates down. "Thank you." We said in unison. I started feeding Naoki. I ate as well. "This is really good." I started drinking my wine. Naoki grabbed my glass. I moved it out of his reach. "No no." I said sweetly. Shinosuke handed me Naoki's cup. I grabbed it and Naoki snatched it from me. He started drinking. "Yeah we need to work on your manners little boy." I laughed. He started coughing. I pat his back. "Slow down." He placed his cup on the table and began to eat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shinosuke pulled up to Toji's house and parked. "Well that went well. She's lovely. So you better keep her." "Of course I will. Thanks for coming. I'm just glad you like her." "I think it's cute that you melt in her hands." I teased. I got out and grabbed Naoki. I closed the door and waved as Shinosuke pulled off. I walked to the door and it opened. Toji was standing in front of me. "Want to explain where you've been?" "Me? I should be asking the same thing to you." He stepped back and I walked in. I took my heels off and headed into the living room. I took off Naoki's shoes as I sat down on the sofa. Toji sat on the table in front of me. "I went for a run." "Good for you." I took off Naoki's socks. "Are you mad at me?" "Nope." "Good. Because I love you. I'm very sexually attracted to you. But I don't want to cross any boundaries that you have." I looked at him. "The hell are you talking about?" "Earlier. I saw it in your eyes when you didn't want me the same way I wanted you so badly. I needed to cool off so that's why I left. I'm not gonna touch you unless you want me to." "Oh yeah I remember that. Don't worry about it. I've gotten over that. So much has happened." I groaned. "My brain hurts." I placed Naoki on the couch next to me. He played with his socks. "What's going on?" "I feel like I'm losing my mind." "About?" "We were almost in a car violent crash. And this guy who looked like that curse Chikao was at the restaurant and I almost ended his life. Luckily he was human and that curse doesn't exist." "Back up. You were in a car accident. Are you both okay?!" "We're fine. I saw it coming and took control of Shinosuke's driving so we moved out of the way. The person hit a tree. Anyway at Beige Alain Ducasse restaurant, I made the guy foresee his death and laid out my Domain Expansion. Thankfully he was human. He was scared for his life though. I told Shinosuke and Niseko what happened and he freaked out. He asked what if that really was Chikao. I told him I'd do the ritual no questions asked." Toji stood me up and wrapped his arms tightly. "I'm glad everyone is okay. You're one crazy girl Takahashi." I was basically squished in his man boobs. "You're squishing me with your Mommy Millkers." I muffled. "My what?" He pulled away. "Your big ass titties." He chuckled. "Never heard of that one before." He folded his arms across his chest. "There's one more thing I need to mention. And it's very important." "I'm listening." "Shinosuke's in love with me. He has been for four years. He told me today. And I didn't realize I still had feelings for him until we nearly died." I confessed. Toji shrugged. "Okay." "That's it?" "What else do you want me to do?" "Get jealous." "Why? You're mine." "I'm not your property Fushiguro." "You know what I mean. You're my wife. Besides...you can't get rid of me that easily." He said while grabbing the back of my neck. He leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "By the way, I'm not your wife until you put a ring on it." I pointed out. "Fair enough. But I won't stop calling you that. You're my one and only." I raised my eyebrows. "Say that again?" "What?" "Say what you just said." "My one and only?" "Yeah that." "What's wrong with that?" "That's what you've kept saying to me in my dream. The last time you said that, it was after I did the ritual exercise. You were saying you didn't want a new family and I was your one and only. After a few more conversations, I died." I explained. "It's kind of nice hearing it in real life." I added. He smiled at me. "I must admit, I am kind of jealous that another man has your heart. I don't like sharing." "Oh so you are jealous." "Of course I am. But I'm not stupid to start an argument over it and risk losing you. Besides, I'm the one who can hold you whenever I want. Kiss you whenever I want. Fuck you whenever you want me to. Kiss you good morning and kiss you good night. Call you my one and only whenever I want. I won't do anything to ruin our relationship." "If you fuck up, I'll have your head." I warned. He chuckled. "That's fine by me." He replied before kissing me.
