The Menaces Babysitter Toji Fushiguro x reader

25 Divine Dogs

"Toojiii!" You called, closing the door behind you. You peered over to the couch and at the washer and dryer to find no sign. "Hm. Toji?" You knocked on his bedroom door, "Hellloo-oh!"

He opened the door, shirtless and gleaming in sweat. "Why'd you knock?" He chuckled.

Your face heated up, "I dunno..."

Toji leaned down, lips against your ear, "Think I was doing something, doll?"

You whipped away, pushing him back by his forehead, "Okay! Pervert. I need a favor."

He grinned, walking toward the kitchen, "Whats that?"

"I need you to train me in combat."

"...For real?"

You dipped in front of his frozen form, "For real. They seem to go hand in hand right? Jujutsu and combat."

Your eyes widened as Toji pushed you against the wall, both wrists caught in his hand, pressed against your chest.

"No."

"Eh?" Your mouth parted. "Why?"

Once again, his lips brushed against your ear, "That isn't something you're getting into. It isn't some game."

"On the contrary," You took the same position, "I'm already in it. So. Would you rather I wander around like some defenseless pigeon, or help me?"

Toji let out a breath of air. "Fine. I'm not going easy on you." He backed away.

"You're not scary." You scoffed, poking his chest.

"No?" He chuckled, "Don't get a mouth on you yet pigeon."

"Kinda late for that."

Toji snorted.

You leaned against the island as he drank some water, "So I figure the next couple weeks I go to the school in the morning, you help me a few hours, we pick up Gumi, and I spend the evening doing work."

He rose a brow, "Sounds like a lot."

"Yeah but it'll be fine right? Just for a little bit."

He hand slid along your waist, "Lets start."

You pouted as he held in a laugh. "What?"

"This is gonna be fun."

Your face was red, puffing breaths in and out rapidly. "I'm not having a good time." You layed sprawled out on the wood floor, soaking up its coolness.

"That was easy mode sweetheart." He grinned.

You glared, "Shut it. I'm trying to handle myself not be on god mode."

"God mode huh?"

"I have a bad habit of setting you up." You huffed. "I'm going to take a shower, say anything and I'll beat you up."

"Sure you will."

"Moommm!" Megumi groaned, "They put peppers in lunch again."

Your heart jumped, spinning around in the chair. "Did they? You're probably starving then huh? Get a snack and I'll make dinner in a little bit."

"Okay."

Toji bumped your shoulder with a shit eating grin.

"Can I show you my jujutsu?" Megumi questioned, goldfish stuffed in his cheek. "I always wanted to but I couldn't and I felt bad."

"Corse Gumi!" You grinned, sitting criss cross, "So what can you do?"

He held the goldfish bag in his mouth, folding his hands together.

Two dogs formed behind him, connected dots in a triangle on their heads.

Your jaw dropped. "Two fluffy dogs." You felt like face palming. "How did I forget about that?!" Megumi giggled, the dogs rushing forward and licking your face. "Aww, they are seriously cute!"

"I can only do that but I have 10." Megumi said proudly.

"Ten dogs?"

"No ten shig-mm-shi..."

"Shinigami." Toji gave him.

"Yeah." Megumi nodded.

"It's an inherited technique. The divine dogs are given, but the others have to be defeated before they can be controlled." Toji explained.

"That's awesome Gumi!" You congratulated.

"And they bite curses to get rid of them." He nodded matter o factly.

"Oh really? You're very well protected then." 

"Mhm!  Can I watch you work?" 

"It'll be boring for you." 

"Its okay."  Ignoring the warning, he crawled into your lap, the dogs melting away.

Having been somewhat neglecting your work lately, you were laser focused, munching on a goldfish every now and then.

The remaining week was somewhat of the same.  At the school you continued with control of your cursed energy, learned to put a veil up, or rather down, and also learned more of curses, residuals, domains, the like.  There had been an effort at healing a cut on Ijichi's arm, to no luck.  Yaga didn't hold much hope after that that you would be able to use reverse cursed energy on others, but instructed you to try again some other time. 

Combat training with Toji. 

Oh joy. 

What you'd learned so far?  Punching, kicking, kneeing someone in the gut, all the basics had been drilled into your head to be sure you kept proper form and didn't break a bone.  You then implemented adding cursed energy to your strikes, adding a plethora of power to them.  Along with some defense, and other basics. 
Though you didn't excel as quickly as learning jujutsu, it was better than nothing.  You also ended up having to move it outside, as you slamming onto the floor wasn't something the neighbors would appreciate.

Overall, you'd made good progress in only a week. A small curve to your growing anxiety.

It's Saturday, 8am.
