Limitless ✩ Gojo Satoru

Chapter Eight ✩ Bad News

Panting, Kanae stumbled down onto the ground. Gojo's limitless was far superior than her own cursed technique. It was apparent to her that the previous time she had gotten him, she had just gotten lucky.

"Well that was easy." Gojo breathed as a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. It wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. If it was a physical fight, he would have won easily, but the fight of the brains was tense.

To Kanae watching the slightly winded sorcerer stand tall, of course it was fucking easy for him. Every time she witnessed Gojo and all his feats, one thing was always apparent and obvious. If no one was perfect, he was the closest thing to it.

"I'm happy for you." She took a swig of her water eyeing him. "So theoretically, if you can perfect adapting limitless internally, you could probably avoid damage or limit it. You need perfect focus or you could end up hurting yourself."

As much as she wish she hadn't agreed to it, she was glad they did it. Her brain was exhausted, way too exhausted to even be nervous and shy around him after their almost kiss.

"I know that." He muttered standing tall.

A part of her wished they had just thrown hands, her brain was pounding. Feeling her tightening head, she had even caved and let her locks loose to bring some circulation to her brain.

"Should we go again?" He tilted his head smirking at her.

"I would rather do hand-to-hand with you than that." There was completely honesty through the exhaustion in her tone.

She began to pack her bag forcing herself up from the ground with her bag slung over her shoulder. Gojo believed her, but he hadn't wanted to part ways with her just yet.

"So you are saying to rather get physical with me? I can think of many ways—"

She nudged his arm. "Are you always this horny?"

How could he say that after what we almost did? I feel like I'm trembling near him at the thought of it.

He laughed at her reaction. "I just like teasing you. I think you like it because you never fail to blush."

He flicked her cheek causing her to rub it and send him a glare. For someone who kept on his cursed technique for so long, he had released it at the most convenient moments.

"It's late, I'm going to bed."

"Yeah, I'm tired too." He yawned raising his arms to reveal the bottom of his torso. "Beating you is exhausting."

She rolled her eyes walking out of the gym room. One thing she appreciated about Jujutsu High was that the lack of students meant that they had a huge part of the lot to themselves. She hadn't missed her bustling old high school or the filled halls. She didn't miss the weird stares she got from the other girls. She was glad the classes were small because teachers actually have no choice but to care in this field of exorcism. Her and her classmates were cool, which she appreciated.

As she stepped outside, the coolness of the air hit her skin. She almost forgot how cool the weather had gotten. She was so focused on Gojo, she could barely think straight.

"Why are you following me?" She turned around glaring at Gojo. He was hot on her trail ever since she left the gym.

"...we are neighbours..." He reminded her causing her to facepalm.

She felt like she was losing her mind at this point. "Oh...right.."

Too embarrassed to say anything else, Kanae continued speed walking to the dorms as Gojo followed along. It was obvious she was distracted she wondered if he was thinking of what she was.
