Sakura Mochi (JJK x Demon Slayer)

chapter 31

If mortification had a face, Kana's face would be it

She was completely, utterly, pathetically speechless. in not a very good way

"N-no... Y-you're lying!"

She quietly said, making Gojo softly chuckle at her

"Trust me when I tell you I'd be the happiest one if it was a lie, saku- Kana... But it isn't ''

Kana looked down at her hand. In utter disbelief and shock

"B-but h-how c-can that be? I've made everyone promise not to tell anyone."

She whispered to herself

"We don't know either but it wasn't anyone from our school. that's all we know "

Kana was fully at a loss. Not because of what happened to her, she got over that years ago. But because of her poor babies. She would never forgive herself if they deny to have a relationship with their senseis because of her problems

What happened in the past stays in the past

It doesn't need to be dug up create distraction

She closed her eyes for a second before snapping them open again. Now she understood why Nobara and Yuji looked so destressed, why looked like he cried for hours

"My poor baby..."

She whispered under her breath before looking back at them again. She composed herself

"I'm extremely sorry on the behalf of the students, senpai. I will talk to them. They'll train with you tomorrow. It's a promise "

They actually chuckled

Even after everything, all pain they caused her, she'll defend them. She's promising to make everything right again. It wasn't ideal but good enough

They never really deserved her

Then, now or ever

"Don't Kanroji. Let them be... You can't make them respect u-

"But senpai, we can't just let them get detached from the help and perks you'll be providing in the near future. They are your students, you can't toss them aside"

She said in a panic as she cut off Nanami

"No one is doing that, Sakura. If they willingly come to us and tell us they need our help, we'll willingly say yes to them and do our best. "

Geto said and Gojo finished

"Until then, we'll not be forcing them to come and talk to them"

She stared at them for a good minute before sighing

"You're plan will never work. They are all hormonal teenagers. You'll probably have a better chance with Satan than you'd have with the kids. They'll never come back"

They sighed, knowing she was right in every aspect. But what could they do?

"Okay, just hear me out, I'll talk to them and tell them the past is supposed to stay in the past. I've forgiven and forgotten about it. It was more than a decade ago. So no hard feelings. But you just tell them you're sorry "

They stared at her. Completely at loss for words. How can a person be so kind? After everything she went through because of them

"I don't deserve your kindness. If I only wasn't so selfish back then....."

Geto thought out loud, making her look at him with a confused look. Though she didn't question anything

She just quickly wanted to finish her drink and take the takeout before leaving. It was getting too close for her own comfort
