"I'm telling you, if you do it, you're going to get in trouble."

Hitomi could only shake her head and facepalm as Gojo ignored her and hopped towards the house. Their mission was simple; find Utahime and Mei Mei. Their fellow sorcerers had been missing for two days, without any contact and they had to find them.

With mild awe, Hitomi watched as Gojo activated Cursed Technique Amplification: Blue. Even after knowing what he could do, she was still not used to seeing the destructive nature of his powers displayed in front of her. If there was one person that was deserving of the title of the Strongest Sorcerer, then it was Gojo Satoru. An explosion ripped through the mansion, causing it to crumble to dust and rubble. And amidst that rubble, laying a struggling Utahime.

In the meantime, Gojo was doing his usual thing. In a taunting tone, he asked, "Are you crying?"

Utahime glared at him as she slowly got up from amidst the rubble. "I'm not crying! And be more polite!"

"If I was crying, would you console me?" Mei Mei asked. She had escaped from the explosion, completely unharmed. "I wouldn't say no to that."

"Nah, you wouldn't cry, Mei-san." Gojo answered. "You're strong."

Mei Mei chuckled as Utahime made a noise of anger. "Gojo! You listen here!"

The hair's on the back of Hitomi's neck stood up. She could feel the presence of a powerful cursed spirit here. She turned towards Utahime, only to freeze. A giant, monstrous entity hovered behind her senior, with an intent to kill. But before anybody could even react, Geto had already unleashed one of the cursed spirits under this control. It half-swallowed the other cursed spirit, waiting for Geto's orders.

Geto had hopped down into the rubble. "Don't swallow it," he instructed. "We'll take it in later."

He looked at Gojo with a half-smile. "Satoru, it's not nice to pick on the weak."

Gojo gave him a weird look. "What kind of idiot picks on the strong?"

"You shouldn't be picking on anybody though," Hitomi added, lightly shrugging her shoulders. "Whether it's Utahime or some random person or whoever."

"You two are fanning the flames like it comes naturally, Geto-kun, Hitomi-san," Mei Mei said, looking very amused.

'I don't think I did anything-' Hitomi thought carefully.

Then Shoko made her appearance. She had been hiding just a few feet away, standing beneath the trees with a cigarette in her mouth. The relief on Utahime's face was instantaneous. Shoko asked, "Utahime-senpai, are you okay? I was worried about you. We hadn't heard from you for two whole days."

Utahime sped up on the remnants of the mansion's stairs. Hitomi moved out of the way as she lept and hugged Shoko. "Shoko! Don't let yourself turn out like those three!"
