Comfortable Silence (Inumaki x Fem!Reader)

|•Chapter 20: Now we're in trouble•|

Third Person POV

The two watch as Maki effortlessly eliminate the three up coming curses with her cursed tool polearm. As they disintegrated she turned to the other two. Yuta was watching in awe as she had
done it in one strike. Whilst the h/c girl just sighed after she watched her show off but still impressed neither the less. "How did she..." The girl hears the boy beside her mutter, firmly placing her hand on his shoulder. "Let's go inside there ought to be
more waiting for us." She tells him as he nods and follows her from behind along with Maki.

Walking in the atmosphere already felt more dreadful and almost reminded the girl about her
school life before jujutsu tech. It was untenanted
and hushed, leaving Maki and her on guard.
"Uh Fushiguro and Ze'nin, are you guys not scared, even the slightest?" Yuta had ask the two causing
one of them to get annoyed at the mention of her
last name. "Don't call me by my last name." She sternly warned him as he nodded, noting it
mentally for next time. "It just seems like anything will jump out at any giving moment. Well I guess some already have." He meekly followed as the girl found it weird how the number of curses coming
out were low. It seemed to be something to do
with him here.

"Okkotsu, may I look at your ID?" She stopped in
front of them, turning towards Yuta specifically.
"Um, yeah sure. Why though?"He handed it to
her, she flipped it to the right side to see it for
herself. Gojo has to have reasons for bringing him
if the boy doesn't know little to nothing of curses.
"To see what rank you are."She answered as
her eyes widened at it, 'special grade', whilst the
Fushiguro girl was only a second grade sorcerer.
"Maki look at it."She hands it to the other girl as
Yuta still seemed confused, he has much to learn.
"Okkotsu, jujutsu sorcerers are ranked from 4th
being the lowest and special being the highest.
Most don't even get special grade because it's given
to those who are truly strong. Like Gojo." Maki explains, for a brief moment froze before then
scoffing before they were going to continue on.

"Ze'nin-san behind you!" Yuta warned as Maki
turned to face a curse. Immediately charging at
the three as it destroyed the corner of the building, sending the them up in the air. The Fushiguro
girl grabbed Yuta as she had now had her sai ready.
"Oh shit." Her eyes widen as the curse's mouth was
gapped open revealing it's razor sharp teeth. As the
three fall right down through it's mouth, feeling
the temperature difference changed from cold
to hot as. Causing the h/c girl to pass out, whilst landing right on the boy's back as he panics.
"She's alive right?" Rolling her off him, leaning
down to hear the Fushiguro breathing softly.
"That wouldn't kill her idiot. But now this shit is
eaten us and will soon digest us if we don't get
out soon." Maki sighs, now frustrated without her
curse polearm and the other girl was passed out.

"It's all my fault." Yuta had tucked himself into a
fetal position by the girl's unconscious body. As
he mutters the words over and over again to
himself. "Now is not the time! Where is that curse
of yours when we need it!" "I never know when she comes out! What are we gonna do?" The green haired girl grits her teeth as mutters things under her breath.

A few minutes went by as the Fushiguro girl wakes up feeling the heat of the curses belly against her.
"Did this shit not digest us already." Sitting right
up seeing Maki on the ground and unconscious.
Along with the kids over by the corner, one also
unconscious. "Fushiguro?" She looks over at the
boy as he stares down to the ring on his hand.
"Maki said I should start exorcising curses, what
do you reckon? Am I fit for this?" He slowly starts slipping off the ring.

"Heh. I think you have to work on it. Okkotsu."
"Just call me Yuta." "Then call me Y/n." She
smiles at him as the ring is now off. The screeches
of Rika rang throughout as the girl watches the
curse shred up everything. Within the moment they
make a break for it as she carried one of the kids
along with helping him carry Maki. "You're not
so bad but you better promise me that you'll train yourself up to that Special Grade rank." The two limp their way over to Gojo as he stands by the car.
"I can do it!" They both push on, until they finally
reach the car. Falling to the ground, the girl looks
up at the white haired man. "You guys did well
today. Especially Yuta with this being his first
mission." He smiles down at the two.

Pain rushed through the girls body as she tries
to sit right up in her bed. Though a pair of hands
gently push her back and she's met with the off
white hair. Inumaki. He wears a look of worry on
his face and it's clear as his scarf is down.
"Kelp." He greets, the more her body wakes up,
now realising he's close. Really close. With him
peering down from above. "Hi." She meekly replies.
Trying to not get nervous at the close proximity.

"Your awake!" Another voice emerges and Inumaki
pulls himself right back up. The two now turn to
Panda who's at the sliding door, grinning.
"I can come back later, if I interrupted something."
He says teasingly as the boy diverting his face away
with having a flushed face whilst the girl his
shocked to say something. "Just kidding." He coos
and the girl jumps out of the bed and ready to
smack the bear. "Tuna. Tuna." The boy tries to
hold her back as Panda has his hands up in a
defensive position. Slowly retreating his way out.

"That stupid Panda." The Fushiguro girl uttters
to herself, Inumaki drags her back to the
bed. Tucking her in and making sure she was comfortable. "Mustard Leaf?" He asks her seeing
how her brows were furrowed. "I'm fine. It's just
that damn bear doesn't know when to not be such
a tease." She huffs causing him to softly laugh
catching her very much off guard. "You laughed."
He denies what she said immediately with a shake
of his head. "Yes you did!" She insists as he can't help the blush deepening on his face seeing the
smile that was now on her's.
