Yukiko contrary to when she believed, stayed with her son for a couple of more months, before going out to work. The constant cries during the night drained her and Toji.
She was holding Megumi in her arms day and night, tirelessly, since he didn't seem to like to be apart from her for too long.
Toji cooked his wife hearty meals, to help her get the proper vitamins and nutrition to produce enough milk for the young boy. Megumi seemed to require a lot of milk.
"Can I play with Megumi now, Okaa-san?" Tsumiki asked, as she finished feeding him for the fifth time since 10 am already. It was only 1pm now.
"Here, you can play with him in his cradle." She put the little newborn down.
"I am so tired, when will I sleep for more than three hours per day?" She just grabbed her own hair and pulled at it slightly.
"Don't do that, or you will rip the rest of your receding hairline out?" Toji joked at the wrong time. She just looked even more annoyed. She hit his arm and gave him an ice cold glare.
"I was just joking." he put his hands up and went back to the kitchen. "Should we just hire a nanny for the time being for both Tsumiki and Megumi?" He asked his wife.
"Good idea. I just want to get out of here." Yukiko said and hugged her husband from behind, burying her face in his wide back.
"Then I will try to find someone. You take a rest for now. I will deal with Megumi." He said and patted her head, ushering her to go to their shared bedroom.
The moment Yukiko's head touched the pillow, she fell into deep sleep.

"I see you are back, Fushiguro-san." One of the executives said. "Congratulations!" They kept saying bunch of bullshit she didn't want to hear.
"We didn't expect you to come so soon." One of the old farts said.
"I take some work. I've been iching to get out." She just replied.
"You are a sorcerer to the bone, Gojo-san." Of of the said, infuriating her intentionally.
"And you seem to lose your memory, old man. I am no longer a Gojo." She reminded him, more like threatened.
"We have a fitting job for you. There is a second grade curse that was terrorising the Inumaki's district, but they were unable to deal with them, as their most powerful sorcerer is out on another job." They explained the situation rather clearly this time.
"There shouldn't be any problems with this curse.' One of them said.
"Until when do I have?" She asked the higher ups.
"After tomorrow, evening. That is more than enough time for you to deal with those pests." Said the leader of them.
"Thanks for the mission." She thanked them and parted her own way.

Yukiko would be lying, if she said that she didn't feel like she dying after running for so long. Her stamina has greatly diminished. She had to train for longer periods of time now to catch up to her pre-pregnancy level of power.
The woman slashed, yet another low ranked curse that ran towards he way.
The second grade curse apparently had the power to manipulate the smaller ones and multiply them, almost as if reviving them, whenever they were killed. If she was to deal with it, he had to do it in a single blow, without leaving any of the small fries, or head straight to the source of their number.
"This is getting boring already." She said and released a big amount of power, thinking it was enough to kill all of them off in a single blow. However, a couple of them survived, starting to multiple at a fast rate yet again, but the sorceress did not hesitate and ran towards the main body, killing it in a single slash, by activating her limitless the second she made a cut with her katana.
After the death of the curse, the smaller ones started to swarm the place again.
Annoyed by the disruption of her peace, she tried slicing all of them at once with her katana once again, before finally exorcising the rest of the hassle.
"It took me six blows to deal with it. I am way behind my training." She said and looked down at her feet, almost feeling as if she was a child again, being pressure by her father's cold glare making her feel smaller and useless.
"Gojo... Fushiguro-san, we are truly thankful for your help! The Head of the Clan said with a smile.
"No problem. Happens." She said absentmindedly.
"Here is the payment. We also brought you something to eat. Please, join us at the table." He said with a genuine smile. She wondered, when was the last time anyone has smiled at her earnestly, back when she still was a Gojo.
"I am sorry, but my husband is waiting for me at home with my kids. I have to go." She said and excused herself.
"Then at least take something with you for your family! I insist!" The kind man told the people to quickly get her something to take with her back home.
"Thank you so much, Inumaki-sama." She said, giving him a deep bow of respect.
The family members quickly handed her the goods and said their goodbyes.

"I am back!" She said and put the groceries on the kitchen table, after neatly putting her shoes in the shoebox, near the entrance.
"Okaa-san! What is this? Did you bring sweets?" The little girl asked curiously.
"Eat moderately, Tsumiki." She said and let the girl enjoy some candy.
"You already had you share this morning, take those away, Yuki-chan." He said, holding Megumi in one of his hands. The little boy was laying his head on the palm of the man, while the rest of his body hung from the sides of his arm.
"I brought some pastries from the Inumaki's." She said and let him taste one of the cinnamon breads with vanilla sauce.
He just continued chewing, not saying that he likes or dislikes its taste. She kept feeding him, while he held Megumi his strange way.
"Just please, don't drop him" She warned the older male to be careful with their child.
"Yeah, yeah..." He dismissed her empty words like always.
