Escape to Reality (Gojo Satoru x Reader)

Chapter 3

- "Huh?" Yaga hears the call of the pink-haired boy, his approaching steps audible "What brings you to my office at this hour, kid?"

- "Director Yaga," Yuji tenses a bit "Um, Gojo-sensei's friend, Y/n, wants to talk to you."

"Yes," I feel the need to intervene, Yaga is tall, very tall, and I can confirm it by facing him, in his hands he seems to have a stuffed doll that he is sewing... his aura is as imposing as Gojo's, and I know he knows Satoru very well... therefore, I know he won't buy the cheap lie that I'm a friend of the albino "Yuji showed me the way".

>>"Thank you, Yuji," I say and nod with a tight smile, subtly asking him to leave with that gesture. The pink-haired boy seems confused for a moment, but after catching on, he bows slightly and leaves.

"So, a friend of Satoru Gojo, huh? Hmm," the man crosses his arms skeptically "Who are you, and where is Gojo?"

"Sir, I need you to listen to me," I ask him "Gojo is not here at the moment, he received a call from the higher-ups and left."

>>"After the few things I managed to tell him and before leaving, he told me to talk to you. So here I am."

I can't help but feel intimidated, Yaga Masamichi was never my favorite character, and I, without cursed energy and without a hint of anything, except knowledge, am sure that if he attacks me with any of his Jugai, I'm done for.

"Well, what are you waiting for? If Satoru Gojo believed whatever you said, it must be really good," he tells me "Go ahead."

I sigh and start explaining everything, not giving more information than I gave to Satoru, my name, where I come from, and what this world really is. I take my time to explain that I have no idea why I ended up here, however, technically, I know what will happen in the future.

After finishing, I can't read the man's expression, usually with those dark glasses it's difficult to even discern if he's looking at me, all I see is his furrowed brow. A pause is present, and I swallow nervously when I see him stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"Are you telling me that Gojo believed all of that?"

"Yes," I exhale anxiously "I suppose with his six eyes, he could tell I wasn't lying. I swear I'm not a threat."

"I...," I start "I don't even have cursed energy, and I highly doubt it's due to some sort of celestial restriction, I'm literally a person who doesn't belong in this world... I have to go back to my reality, and Gojo's idea was that maybe if you use to your advantage what I know about the future, that could send me back to my world."

Yaga doesn't seem to believe me. I can't help but panic.

"Please!" Damn it... I can't be upset because I wouldn't believe something like this either "You have to believe me! Tomorrow!" I exclaim "Tomorrow the higher-ups will give a mission to the first-year students!"

>>"Ijichi is going to take them to the Eishu Detention Center, apparently to save some prisoners, but it's a trap for Itadori to die, I swear! They'll encounter a special grade curse... and-"

"Enough," he silences me "You're talking a lot of nonsense, and with everything that's been happening since Itadori became Sukuna's vessel... I'm afraid it's too weird that a 'seer' willing to cooperate with us has appeared."

"A seer?" I shake my head.

>> "No!" I say "I'm nothing like that, I have no powers! You can see that for yourself, can't you?"

"Hmm," the man approaches slowly after making that affirmative yet suspicious sound "I'll confirm it on my own."

And I don't have time to react, I'm suddenly pushed backward. My body collides with the wooden door, my head hits the floor hard when I fall, my face burns, and I swear I feel the bruise from the impact on my nose... which must be bleeding.
