------------Yuji's POV------------

I was sitting next to Tsu-chan as we drove around this small neighborhood to look for the suspect, Yoshino Junpei. He let out a loud hum as he he pointed out the window to some boy walking down the street. I looked at him to see that he wasn't wearing his school uniform.

Yuji: "Huh, where is his uniform?"

Ijichi: "It looks like he hasn't been attending school for some time."

We watched as Junpei crossed the road, allowing us time to park the car.

Ijichi: "We will get out and walk from here."

We nodded our heads and exited the car and started following Junpei. I was holding this cage that had two curses inside of it. One of the curses held onto the bars, seemingly tempting to break out of the cell, but ultimately failed at its task.

Yuji: "What's the plan?"

Ijichi: "We're going to use that."

He pointed to the cage in my hands. Tsu-chan looked at it confused.

Yuji: "Curses?"

Ijichi; "Yes, it's a flyhead, a low-level curse that doesn't even qualify as a grade four. When there are no people around we will release this curse to attack him."

Tsu-chan gasped as he looked at Ijichi shocked and worried.  A flicker of irritation crossed my face. It wasn't a full-blown scowl, but a downturn of my lip, and a slight furrowing of my brow. My gaze lingered on Tsu-chan for a beat too long. I don't like him fussing over someone else.

Ijichi: "Then, one of four things will happen. One, if he is a normal person who can't even see curses, you will save him. Two, if he can perceive the curse, but has no means to deal with it, then likewise, save him, afterward we will question him about the theater incident. Three, if he exorcises the fly head with Jujutsu, then we will immediately restrain him."

I looked at him confused. How the hell would we restrain him?

Yuji: "Restrain him how?"

Tsuki let out a hum and pointed at himself. A deep furrow etched itself between my brows as I processed what he said. The air around me crackled with nervous energy, a stark contrast to the usual carefree mask I put on around Tsu-chan. My eyes darted between him and the potential curse user. It wasn't just worry, there was a simmering anger there too, directed at Ijichi for daring to exploit Tsu-chan and his powers in such a way. I clenched my fists, the need to protect my future husband burning bright in my eyes.

Ijichi: "Yes, with Tsuki's powers we will be able to restrain the suspect."

My easygoing mask crumbled in an instant. My eyes narrowed at Ijichi, a cold fury replacing my usual playful grin. I clenched my jaw tight, and the muscles in my arms flexed with barely contained anger. I saw red as my future husband, my lover, was being used. He is not a pawn to be used in some ploy. Only I can use him!

Sukuna: "We should kill him for that!"

I internally groaned as Sukuna's voice rang in my head. 

Can you not talk right now?

Sukuna: "Don't tell me what to do, brat!"

Ijichi: "Now, if it's all a misunderstanding, we will apologize after the fact. However, four, if Junpei Yoshino has potential equal to a grade two sorcerer, then we retreat and report to Nanami."

I feel a little bit better at that part of the plan. As long as Tsu-chan doesn't fight, then I'm good.

Sukuna: "I have no idea why you underestimate Yuki like that. He's strong and can protect himself."
