Your Highness (Gojo x Reader)

Chapter 16-Hakari

"Here it is. Hakari's strip club, casino, and fight club." Yuji led the three to the back entrance of the club. The blaring music could be heard from outside, as Yuji let them in with a simple scan of his wrist tattoo.

The door opened to reveal a HUGE dance floor. There was a DJ at the front with two stories of dance floors that were absolutely packed. The flashing lights of the club was epilepsy's worst nightmare. Women twerked and grinded on men, while several people were on the outskirt seats, drinking, making out, and having sex. There were several waitresses coming around, barely clothed, and making drunk men stick to them like glue.

There were several poles scattered throughout the neon lights, with women (and a couple men too) dancing up and down them for the pleasure of others.

The four intruders kept their faces covered with masks, glasses, and hoodies. Yuji led them through the crowd, but met some difficulty as Gojo desperately searched for his wife.

They made their way to another room which was obviously the "casino" part of the package. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol was everywhere as people gambled their livelihoods away. At the center of the several floors of the casino there was tons of shouting and grunting. It seemed to be the main attraction.

The four approached a huge fighting ring, and found themselves staring at a familiar face: Todo Aoi. The man with only one hand was in the ring, beating a terrified challenger up.

He cheered and put his arms up in victory, and flexed for the audience. People groaned while others cheered for the board displaying the bets made was once again changing and exchanging money between betters.

A stripper waitress approached Gojo, and offered him a drink from her tray.

"No thanks...wait!" The woman stopped as she was about to move onto the next man.

She looked up at Gojo.

"Do you know where Y/N L/N is?" He shouted over the yells as Todo beat yet another opponent.

She raised an eyebrow and scoffed with a nasty smirk before walking off. Gojo stood there, utterly confused.

"What do you mean he doesn't let samurai in anymore?! I come here every time I'm in Heian!" Itadori was showing his wrist tattoo to the body guard in front of Hakari's office.

Gojo joined Yuta, Maki, and Yuji as they tried to enter Hakari's office.

"Tell him that Yuji Itadori, his favorite Samurai is here to visit!"

The body guard merely shook his head.

"Ugh! Outta my way!" Yuji attempted to wrestle his way past the body guard, only to be stopped by Kirara who opened the door.

"Oh, hey!" They smiled, "Oh, you stupid body guard! Yu is always welcome!"

They opened the door and welcomed everybody in. "Where's Cho?" she asked Yuji as he entered.

Yuji just shook his head signaling them to let it go, to which she did.

Hakari quickly recognized Yuji, and smiled big. "Yuji! Welcome!" His smiled quickly disappeared when he saw the three other guests.

"Who are these three?"

Yuta pulled his coverings off, revealing himself to Hakari who's eyes went wide. 

"Yuta? I thought you were stuck outside of Heian?"

Maki followed Yuta's example.

"Maki too?" Kirara draped their arm over Hakari's shoulder, as they looked at the tough woman in front of them.

"Who's the tall bastard?" Hakari sat back on his wheelie chair behind his desk, with his feet propped on his desk.

Gojo pulled of his disguises and smiled at his now graduated student.

"Gojo-sensei?!" The man looked shocked. "Shouldn't he be dead?!"

Yuji took a deep breath. "It's really him..." He pointed to his blue eye.

Hakari looked to Kirara for some words of encouragement. They only shrugged.

"I thought you hated these guys? And why are you bringing them here? You know I stay out of all this shit."

"I'm kind of being held hostage."

Hakari's eyes widened, "right...the train accident." He took a deep breath and looked up at the three freedom fighters, "If you guys think I can help you get close to Sukuna, you're wrong. I stay a-political. My place is to provide some fun, not assist in some coup."

Yuta spoke up, "that's not why we're here--"

Gojo cut him off. "We're here for my wife."

His voice wasn't harsh or rude, but it was soft and urgent. He really needed you.

Hakari looked a bit taken back, "Y/N?"

"I was told she had to become a performer here..."

Hakari groaned. "Oh dear..."

"What...?"

He chuckled to himself. "She's not here."

Gojo's face darkened, and furrowed his brow, "What?"

"I do know where she is though."

Gojo relaxed, "Where is she then?"

Hakari chuckled once more, "You're not gonna like it~"

"I already don't like it. So just tell me."

Hakari seemed to look the group over for a couple seconds. "I'll tell you what. I'll tell you where she is for a price."

"We have no money." Yuta spoke quickly.

"No, no, no. Let me explain." Hakari stood up and opened up the blinds of the one way windows in his office, revealing the fighting ring down below. "I know you all know my strongest fighter, Todo Aoi."

They all nodded.

"Typically, my fighting ring is my biggest attraction, but recently, Todo hasn't been losing at all. It's losing business for me because people stop betting on a known outcome. There's no thrill anymore."

"And...?" Maki asked.

"Aaaaand...I need him to lose a fight so people come back and start betting against him, so it gets interesting again."

"So you want one of us to fight him. I can do it--" Gojo was quickly stopped by Hakari.

"I want Maki to fight him. I know she'll win, but it's just close enough to look interesting and like a struggle."

Yuta immediately spoke up. "No way. Not my wife. She is not going to hurt herself for the sake of his failed relationship."
