I'll Stay Away ~ Ch.9

Megumi talked to me for hours, and I sat on the chair next to him as I watched him ramble on and on about everything that had gone on in his life. My heart melted seeing him so excited to talk to me I was sure he would've hated me but he didn't, Nanami was right. I fidgeted with my bandages on my hands as Megumi stared out at the amazing view this balcony had.

"Y/n.." Megumi sighed and I hummed in response as he looked back at me conflicted.

"Why didn't you come for me?" He asked softly I sighed looking down at my bandages, I hoped this question wouldn't come until later.

"Megumi I don't think-" But he cut me off as he sat up adjusting his hoodie as he shook his head.

"Stop hiding. Tell me the truth" He tried sounding stern but I heard the hint of sadness in his voice. I felt Gojo behind us in the doorframe but Megumi hadn't seemed to notice him.

"Dad didn't want you at risk. He did everything to keep you from the Zenin clan and I wanted to respect that choice, and with respecting that choice I had to stay away. The Zenin clan has been after me for years, they are always three steps behind but they have always been right there. So I couldn't because then it would lead them straight to you" I stated my voice calm but my heart was racing.

"Even if I didn't completely trust pretty boy behind me.. He was better for you then I was" I shrugged Megumi quickly looked behind us seeing Gojo standing in the doorframe.

"We could've protected you both" Gojo chuckled as he walked over to us, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Megumi laughed but I flinched as a blanket dropped over my shoulders looking up I saw Gojo, he seemed to notice me flinching but he didn't acknowledge it as he sat down in the chair beside me.

"I was fine, I didn't need protection Gojo" I sighed but I clutched onto the blanket with my hand enjoying the warmth. Gojo's cologne filled my nostrils and lungs, I couldn't help but feel comforted and safe as I felt the soft blanket.

"No you may not have but I needed you Y/n.." Megumi mumbled as he grabbed my other hand tightly. My hands had scars across the palms from my knives, the cursed energy would burn into my skin so now I barely had any feeling in them but out of habit I flinched slightly.

"I think you turned out just fine kiddo" I smiled pulling my hand away from his and ruffled his hair.

"Stop doing that!" Megumi whined fixing his hair as Gojo chuckled shaking his head taking off his blindfold. I watched his hair fall down, he looked better with his hair down but he noticed me looking at him so I looked back at Megumi quickly.

"How's your sister?" I asked and I watched his expression fall quickly as he looked away.

"A curse got to her.. She's been in a coma for months. No one can wake her or find out what's keeping her asleep" Megumi explained quietly and my heart ached.

"I'm sorry kiddo I shouldn't have asked" I sighed but he shook his head as he stood up putting his hands in his pockets.

"I'm going to go get some water. You want some?" Megumi asked I shook my head no so he nodded and walked inside. As soon as the door closed I felt Gojo staring at me but I kept my eyes fixated on the view, not wanting to feed into Gojo.

"With the clan being on your trail.. Why show yourself now? They've been chasing you for years but I caught you in two weeks and something tells me it wasn't just a miracle" Gojo sighed and I smiled slightly as I shook my head.

"I've been watching you both for years. I've learned how to notice you pretty boy, to me your presence is overwhelming but I've noticed no one else can notice you. Let's say I've learned a few things about the honored one over the years" I shrugged as I leaned back in my chair locking eye contact with him.

"You've been watching me as well?" He chuckled as I nodded quickly in agreement.

"I'd heard the name but that didn't mean I trusted you. So I watched you, studied you to see whether or not I could leave Megumi with you. But even when you had chance time and time again you choose this life, you choose Megumi. So I let go.. Slightly" I giggled the last part as he studied over me.

"I never noticed you or even felt you" Gojo sighed and I hummed nodding softly.

"I've got all my dads tricks and then some of my own. I wanted you to find me, I wanted the Zenin clan to think the school had caught me so they had to back off for awhile. Only reason they haven't found Megumi is because I was never seen around him or even in the same city. I keep myself hidden, kept away" The door opened and closed again as Megumi walked back out to us.

"I have another question" Megumi stated as he sat down so I turned my attention away from Gojo.

"Yes?" I asked studying over him but his eyebrows furrowed together as he played with his bottle of water.

"Are you with Nanami? And how long did he know?" Megumi asked softly, I noticed Gojo snap his attention towards Megumi as if he wasn't suppose to ask that question.

"No. No I'm not with Nanami, I do care for him and he is well my only friend but no we aren't together. But I'm not sure if you want that other answer kiddo" I sighed but he looked up glaring at me so I nodded holding his gaze.

"Gojo found you when he was sixteen or seventeen right? And we are the same age" I stated looking at Gojo who nodded in agreement and I sighed softly.

"I found Nanami when I was eighteen. He helped me keep tabs on you both and kept me updated" I mumbled looking back at Megumi who had a flash of anger run through his eyes. He looked back down at his water bottle as Gojo's gaze snapped back to me in shock.

"So you can be around a man who is desperately in love with you because you fucked him but you can't see your only sibling who loves you more then anything?" Megumi snapped glaring up at me and Gojo sat up looking at Megumi but I felt my heart ache.

"Meg-" I sighed as I sat up reaching for his arm but he stood up taking a few steps away.

"NO! WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT-" Megumi tried but Gojo stood up grabbing his arm stopping him.

"Enough" Gojo warned him but I watched tears pool in Megumi's eyes as he glared down at me. I sighed standing up pushing the blanket off my shoulders as I looked back at Megumi.

"No. He's right, I wasn't here but I was by Nanami. Because it is easier breaking someones heart and expectations who doesn't matter to me. When looking in your eyes I see your standards for me, I see you searching for our family and for dad. You know how many nights I spent up thinking about you? Wondering if I was doing the right thing? But then the Zenin clan would catch up or one of dad's many enemies and I have scars upon scars that remind me it's better to stay away" I stated coldly as I clenched one of my fists as Gojo sighed seeing Megumi getting more mad.

"I COULD'VE HELPED I COULD'VE-" Megumi shouted but I raised my hand as one of my invisible curses covered his mouth.

"And you could've died. I respected dads wishes and kept you far away from everything, and it's clear its was better that way. I'll just keep it that way" I sighed as Gojo quickly turned to me confused.

"What do you mean?" Gojo asked as he took a step towards me but I pulled out one of my knives angling it at Gojo.

"I'll stay away, keep dad's life with me because I would hate to break Megumi's expectations easier if I just stay away and you guys never see me again" I sighed which made Megumi's angry expression quickly fade as he took a step towards me but I warped away before releasing Megumi's mouth. Tears pooled in my eyes as I leaned against the wall of a random alleyway slowly sinking down the wall.
