Chapter 22: Teamwork
11 years ago..
THE sun was already in the sky as Asami was in the training yard of Jujutsu Tech.
"You'll start going on mission, Asami. I need you to be stronger!" Yaga yelled and held his arm up next to his head as he dodged Asami's punches.
The girl grunted as she used her immense speed and twirled on the ground. Her leg kicked Yaga and made him fall on his back. The red haired gets on her feet and in position as she towered over the teacher.
Cocking an eyebrow at Yaga, he simply laughs and gets up as Asami moves away. "I take it back, You are pretty strong." He stretched his arm as Asami smiles with a scoff.
"Careful with that attitude. You're lucky Tengen-sama agreed not to exorcise you." Yaga wiggles his finger in the girl's face as she simply snaps it away.
The teacher looks behind the girl and notices Suguru and Shoko standing in the entrance. He looks back at Asami and with his eyes motions him to use her speed for her to not be seen by them.
Asami didn't know about who is going to be on her team. Yaga recommended they'll introduce them to her when he will be explaining about the Star Plasma Vessel.
"Mind explaining who was the red head?" Shoko cocks her eyebrows as Yaga simply walked past them, "I don't have to explain myself to you. You'll find out when the time is right."
_____ Yaga slides open the doors of the P.E. room. He cocks his eyebrows and finds Satoru and Suguru fooling around.
"How long are you going to keep fooling around? Where did Shoko go?" He spoke as the two boys began stretching themselves. Satoru turns his head to his sensei, "Who knows?Bathroom, probably."
Yaga shakes the thought off and brings them outside.
He informs them that the mission has been assigned to three of them. "I'll go find Shoko." Suguru exhaled, "Shoko is not the one going with you."
The two boys stop and with confused faces turn to their sensei. "Tengen-sama specifically asked for you two and another woman sorcerer."
Yaga explained, trying not to give a hint who it was as Satoru would figure it out. They keep walking to one of the Yaga's classrooms and sat inside.
"I get it. It would be fine if he turned into MetalGreymon, but we can't have him become SkullGreymon. So-"
Satoru was interrupted by the doors opening as a girl bursted inside panting. Asami leans down and rests her hands on her knees as she apologises for being late. She had her red hair tied into a high ponytail with her Jujutsu sorcerer uniform worn and her black mask.
She straightens up with her eyes closed as she exhales. Her eyes open and land on Satoru who had the same expression as her. Shocked.
"A-Asami?" Satoru lowered his finger that was in the air. "Oh right, I forgot to mention. Suguru, this is Asami Suzuki..she'll be joining you on this mission. And Satoru, you remember Asami, right?" Yaga joked glancing at his students.
"Nice to meet you, Suguru. Yaga-sensei-" Asami turned to her sensei and was cut off by him, "You're doing this mission, Asami. Your mother and Tengen-sama specifically asked for you to be included."
Asami placed her arm to her chest and rested her elbow on it as she held onto her head in distress. "Fine." She sighs out and motions Yaga to keep going. Satoru looked at the ground and thought of how the girl had changed since the last time they saw each other. Her dead fiancée's funeral.
"The Star Plasma Vessel's location has been leaked. Right now, there are two major groups after the young girl's life."
Asami steps behind Satoru and Suguru as he turns his computer towards them. "One is the Curse User Group Q," He clicks on the button and the computer shoved a picture of a man and multiple duplicates behind him.
"which seeks to upend jujutsu society with Tengen-sama's rampage."
He clicks on the computer button again, now showing a different picture. "The other is the Star Religious Group, also known as the 'Time Vessel Association' which worships Tengen-sama like a god."
Yaga stands up and points his finger at the three, "Tengen-sama will assimilate the Star Plasma Vessel two days from now. You are to protect the girl until then and ensure that she reaches Tengen-sama."
"Damn. You must really love Master Tengen to say his name that much." Asami spoke with her hand rested on her hip, earning a snicker from Suguru as Yaga continued,
"If you fail, the effect will ripple throughout even normal society! Don't forget that!" Yaga sat back onto his chair. "You finished?" Asami spoke and the sensei simply glares at her.
_______ The three arrive at the hotel where the vessel was living. "Can't believe I'm saving someone like me with Gojo Satoru." Asami mumbled and Suguru heard her as he stood beside her.
"You're a vessel?" Suguru questioned and turned his head towards her, "Kami Rin." She simply answers. Suguru felt she didn't want to explain it as it was a long story, "Hm. So Sukuna, but female version?"
Asami nods and smiles at him lightly as he understood the point. Satoru watched the two, feeling jealousy run through his veins as he tosses his empty can to the side.
Suguru went inside as Asami didn't want to chat with Satoru and left on her position which was at the entrance of the hotel.
The three were on a group phone call as the two; Suguru and Satoru talked. "We're the strongest, after all."
Asami's laugh was heard on the line as she held onto her stomach from laughter. "Oh, I'm sorry. It's just- Satoru, you need to humble yourself a little." She spoke and Satoru was glad to hear her talk to him even if she trash-talked him.
"She's right, Satoru. You need to be not so full of yourself. I'll bring it up later."
They were cut off by an explosion where Suguru was. Asami brings the phone back to her ear, "You alive?" Her and Gojo spoke simultaneously.
"I am, at least."
"That's good to hear." Asami spoke and multiple knives were thrown at her. "Huh?" She turns her head to the side and sees a woman with black hair braided in a long braid wearing the Group Q uniform. Her skin was tanned dark and her eyes were dark brown.
"You welcome." Rin spoke in their mind, meaning she placed an invisible barrier around her almost like Gojo's infinity.
"Suzuki Kamo Asami...right? Tsk, You're prettier on the pictures." She spoke. Asami flips her phone down and places it into her pocket,
"You trying to imitate me with that mask? I mean, there is a difference between us, though." Asami spoke. The black haired scoffed as the red haired began walking towards her,
"The difference is; I'm prettier with or without it."
The woman got pissed at the comment and charged towards her.
