Fabricated Lives (Toji x OC)

25: Job Situation

A month had passed. A whole month had gone by, and nothing happened. If Toji knew any better, he would have thought she vanished off the face of the Earth. He heard nothing about her, didn't see her, not even a mention of her.

Toji had even swung by her apartment a week ago, and everything was gone. Toji asked her neighbors about where she went, but they didn't seem to recognize her name and description. He went by her work, and they said she never worked there. It was almost as if Gojo Nyoko never existed.

It was a strange feeling to be the one person that seems to remember someone. Toji's brain was jumbled, trying to make sense of everything. It felt like a dream, a dream he would soon wake up from. He would wake up in a world where Nyoko never existed, and like most dreams he would forget it in a couple seconds, only remembering bit and pieces when he was reminded of it.

Enough time had gone by, and he knew where she was. It was a risk. It had already been enough of a risk when he went to Jujutsu Tech a month ago but seeing her again would be worth it. He had to put his thoughts to rest and confirm he wasn't crazy.

Toji knew it was dangerous, but he still took his worm along. He would need his arsenal of weapons just in case either of the special grades attacked him. But Toji hoped he wouldn't have to use it this time.

He took one step into Jujutsu High's barrier and walked at a leisurely pace. Another positive of bringing the worm along was the sorcerers would be able to sense the curse energy from it.

Just as Toji thought, his plan went a little too well. Two sorcerers showed up, but Toji could tell that they were both on the weaker side. They probably sensed the curse when they were in the area, went to exercise it, but were surprised to see a man there instead.

Toji sighed. "I know there's two of you. Come on out, I don't plan to hurt anyone this time around." He figured these two younger sorcerers must have been warned about him.

Two boys came out from the trees. One was blonde with a bored look on his face, the other was an energetic looking brunette.

"What do you want? Do you understand you're trespassing?" The blonde asked.

"There's something here that belongs to me, I'm just here to collect." Toji smirked. "If you want things to go faster then point me in the direction of a Gojo, any Gojo will do, but I'm more interested in the female one."

"You're looking for Gojo Nyoko?" The brunette gasped. "That means you're Zen'in Toji."

"Try Fushiguro." He crossed his arms over his chest. "Come on, let's hurry this up."

"You just want to see Gojo-sensei's sister, correct?" The blonde nodded his head in understanding. "Gojo-sensei isn't here, he's on a mission."

Toji's heartbeat quickened. He was right, she was here. He would see her again, he would convince her to come back, he would have her back in his arms. "Even better."

The blonde and brunette lead Toji towards a large clump of buildings. There were other sorcerers running around. Toji swore there were more than there usually were. He half wondered if the Six Eyes was paying for extra protection for Nyoko. That kid really doesn't like me.

They entered one of the smaller buildings and walked down a long hallway. At the end of the hallway was a room, the blonde slid the door open to reveal a figure with white hair and blue eyes.

"Hey Fushiguro, I had a feeling you'd stop by."

"Are you for real?" Toji had never felt more disappointed in his entire life.

"Hahaha." Satoru sat at a lone desk in the middle of the room. "You missed me so much already you had to come visit, huh?"

Toji stomped over to Gojo, but stopped when the young sorcerer raised his hand. "Oh, a little traumatized huh?"
