Your Highness (Gojo x Reader)

Chapter 18-Traitor Full of Secrets

Gojo grabbed Yuji by his collar and shook him violently, "You didn't fucking tell me?!"

Yuji hissed, and pulled his shirt off to get out of Gojo's grasp. He ran to the wall, and glared. "Hands off jackass."

Gojo started forward, and attempted to grab Yuji, to which he pushed his hands away.

Yuta and Maki immediately intervened. Yuta grabbed Gojo and pulled him away from Yuji, and Maki pulled Yuji away from Gojo.

"That little shit of a fucking traitor better tell me why the hell he didn't tell me earlier, and why he didn't try to save her!" Gojo was seething with anger while he tried to get back to fight Yuji.

Everybody else froze at the comment and glared. Maki dropped Yuji who dropped to his knees, and held an intense stare.

Hakari stood up and grabbed Gojo by the collar, and threw him to the floor, "Don't talk like that in my fucking establishment. One more word outta your trap, and I'll sell you out to Sukuna himself."

The man with white hair was on the floor, in absolute shock. Everybody seemed to have turned against him.

Yuji worked his way back to his feet and charged at Gojo. He kicked him in the nose, causing Gojo to keel over in pain. Yuji had gotten so fast, it was hard for him to keep up with his infinity.

Gojo quickly used a remedy of RCT to heal himself, then stared up at Yuji, who seemed about ready to kill the man he once admired above all else.

"People are desperate, you fucking asshole. You try and watch the only family you have left starve to death!" Yuji had tears in his eyes as he attempted to fight Gojo, only to be stopped by his infinity.

Even Maki and Yuta looked disapprovingly at Gojo. Gojo had went beyond the "too far mark."

"What is with you people? Why are you all taking his side now? He works for Sukuna!"

Yuta grabbed Gojo's shirt and pulled him up, and pulled him into a corner. "It would be wise of you to shut your mouth. Don't ever say something like that again. If there is one thing we all can relate to, it's being desperate. Your wife, and Yuji, Hakari, Maki, and me...all of us were desperate. Don't insult people's morals when you haven't been in the same life or death position they've been in!" He let him go and slowly backed away. Maki hugged him, and Hakari, Kirara, and Yuji all glared.

Satoru went silent.

Yuta groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Anyways...this revelation really throws a wrench in our plans."

Everybody seemed to calm down slightly, once Yuta changed the subject. "We were planning on going straight to gang up on Sukuna, but if he has her, he'll have a huge edge over us."

Gojo took a deep breath, and spoke up. "I know she doesn't love him. Like you said...s-she's desperate. She has to be faking it."

Hakari turned around and grabbed two scrolls on his desk and handed it to Yuta. "I can't do much to help you guys. I may be one to gamble, but I have zero faith in your victory against Sukuna. I'll give you this though."

Yuta pulled the first scroll open. "What's this?"

"That's an invitation from Sukuna to a fine arts exhibit banquet on June 5th in the palace." Hakari tapped the second scroll. "The second one is your chance at getting in."

Yuta's eyes widened, "Utahime?"

"The girl submitted some of her writings to Sukuna's private university of the arts. Her poems caught her professor's attention, and were sent to Sukuna to show the progress of the University. He enjoyed them so much, he asked her to share one of her poems as the closing performance for the banquet. She invited everybody she knew in Heian."

Gojo hurried to go see the letter. Sure enough, it was an invitation from Utahime.

"Her address is on this scroll. Once you find her, you'll be able to find Shoko."

Yuta nodded and smiled, and Maki smiled back. He kissed her cheek, and she hugged him. The affection was only reminding Gojo how touch-deprived he truly was, and how badly he needed you.
