Your Highness (Gojo x Reader)

Chapter 10-Fight

The musty morning mist mixed with the poisonous carbon that floated around the air made way for anticipation as the group waited from the tops of buildings for Panda and Toge's signal.

As the two samurai's entered the station, one of them was nearly unrecognizable.

Toge wore a tank top, and some very baggy cargo pants and huge cargo boots that were falling apart. He had a rusty mechanical arm, and his other was wrapped in bandages. His white locks were out of control and shaggy, with one large head band was pushing his hair back. On his neck was a tattoo with the words "MEI DAY: CURSED SPEECH." His eyes were dark, and his expression, darker.

Panda on the other hand had a large necklace on with a similar label to Toge's tattoo: "MEI DAY: CURSED CORPSE."

Toge walked past several barrels and tapped one six times to let the resistance fighters know they were safe to come out.

Yuta and Maki went down first, and Panda began to speak to them.

"The barrels are in car five. If you use this--" Panda handed Yuta key card, "--you'll be able to climb into the barrels. We'll close them up for all of you."

Yuta nodded and smiled, and Maki made a small wave with her hand to call down the rest of the members who were going to be going, which was only Gojo and Hana.

"Follow us." Panda led the four to car five and soon they were all climbing into their respective barrels.

Yuta poked his head out as Toge was about to put the lid on his. "We'll see you two in Heian, right?" he smiled at his two friends. He could barely believe the luck he had with this opportunity.

Toge looked back at Panda who gave him a glance full of anxiety. Maki immediately spoke up.

"Why are you guys doing that?"

"Doing what?" Panda asked nervously.

"Making that stupid face." Maki furrowed her brow and glared. Gojo in turn poked his head out of his barrel.

Panda looked at Toge who nodded and sighed.

"We don't have the necessary permissions to enter Heian..."

"Don't you just have to be a samurai?" Maki asked.

Panda and Toge both shook their head. "There's three standards you have to meet."

"I've taught you two better than that. You guys are strong enough--" Gojo was quickly cut off.

"No, only one of the requirements is being a grade one sorcerer."

"Well, what are the other two?" Yuta stood up in his barrel.

"You have to have Sukuna's direct approval, and you have to kill a certain number of people..."

Yuta looked at Maki who looked back in shock.

"What do you people expect? He's the king of curses. He ate people for every meal." Angel glared at everybody as if they are idiots.

"What's the required amount?" Maki asked.

"75." Panda shuddered and Toge shook his head.

"That seems like a lot for only seven years..." Yuta rubbed his chin and began to sweat.

"Most samurai who've reached it didn't reach it defending. They...they go and search for the weak, and murder them."

Hana looked disgusted, and Yuta looked shocked.

Gojo's face hardened. "Psychological shit. Sukuna...he knows how to play the game."

Panda was about to speak when he was quickly cut off by Toge shoving the lid on Yuta's barrel.

Panda looked behind him and gasped. Together they quickly shoved the lids on all four of the barrels, and shut the door to the car. Yuta could barely make out what was going on outside. Gojo meanwhile, was using his six eyes and could see clear as day.

"You boys checked the shipments, right? One mistake and His royal Highness will have your heads." A soft giggle flowed through the air. Mei Mei gently and playfully pinched Panda's non-existent cheek.

"Mei Mei, the cars are secure." Two familiar boys jumped down towards Mei Mei. Gojo could barely make out their faces, but he was shocked with what he saw. It was Yuji, with an eyepatch on for some reason, and Chose. He couldn't see much besides just their appearances due to the many layers in the way, but he knew for a fact it was them.

Mei Mei smiled and handed Yuji her clipboard. "Great! Now you two. I have very specific instructions form Sukuna himself."

Yuji and Choso both nodded in unison and stood up straight with hands behind their back.

"His Royal Highness, the Emperor Sukuna, has given Mei Day: Cursed Tools and Spirits, permission to pass through the East railway entrance into Heian at exactly 7:53 AM. No later. No less. Failure to do so will result in public executions for all parties involved." Mei Mei smiled and handed the scroll, with the official seal of the emperor to Yuji and Chose who both nodded.

"Good luck boys. Let's hope your head doesn't arrive at my doorstep!" She waved goodbye as she swung her hips and left the station with Panda and Toge in tow.

Choso and Yuji climbed the ladder of a train car and ended up on top of car four. The train sounded the whistle, and off they went.

The train strolled along the tracks at a slower pace, presumably to make it to Heian at the specific time named.

Yuji and Choso trotted along the top of the train, every once in a while killing a fly head or a bird they mistook for a fly head.

The barrels, meanwhile, were cramped and claustrophobic. Everybody had their bodies bent in unnatural positions, and it was killing everybody.

Gojo listened and lip read carefully as he watched Yuji and Choso converse.

"How much more time until we reach the veil?" Yuji stood up and began examining the train cars.

"20 minutes exactly."

"Perfect. That'll be right on time." 

Suddenly there was gagging and coughing. Both Yuta and Hana sounded as if they were dying as they struggled to escape their barrels.

"Guys! Shut up!" Gojo whisper-yelled. However Yuta and Angel could not seem to hear them.

He looked through at each of their barrels, and noticed they were quite literally inhaling poisonous cursed energy gas, but him and Maki were unaffected. It had to be some sort of anti-cursed spirit stuff because it only affected Angel and Yuta.

Gojo began to expand his infinity to try and pop the lid off his barrel and help Yuta and Angel, however, his conquest was cut short.

He felt a presence right above him on the roof of the car that felt way to familiar, but it was something he had never been able to look directly at. Gojo looked up, and he made direct contact with Yuji's left eye, or rather, his left eye.

Yuji had one of Gojo's eyes.
