Into Infinity | Satoru Gojo x Female Reader

Chapter 33

When you arrive on the school grounds, you immediately notice something amiss.

The sky is bright and blue, as it usually is over the well-camouflaged school of jujutsu. But there is a feeling of passing danger in the air.

Satoru notices it too. He tenses beside you.

"Somethings off..." you voice out loud.

He nods.

The bracelet on your wrist heats as Samara prods at you from inside.

As you walk further into the school, holding Gojo's hand, you begin to see the signs of the fight. They are small at first—a scuff in the sidewalk, a smear of grime on a nearby building, the metallic smell of settling rubble—but all these little details come together to form a picture in your mind.

Satoru must've gotten it too because his whole form becomes alert.

"(M/C)," he says, squeezing your hand.

You nod. "I wonder who it was. Let's hope everyone is okay." Your heart pumps fear into your brain as you recognize the eerie feeling of a disaster. You try your best to remain calm.

Satoru's jaw remains tense as both of you acknowledge the silence in the air and what it means. " Whoever it was is gone." The fingers of his free hand curl into his fist. "The nerve of them."

You mirror what he's thinking. Let's hope they didn't leave because...

"They wouldn't have lost," you say. "Let's go."

You summon Samara and jump on her back, then you and Satoru take off into a sprint.

It doesn't seem good. A building you recognize as the training facility is burnt half to the ground. Another building has score marks the size of a demon's paw. Black smudges cover the concrete, and the further you go, the more pungent the smell of conflict brews.

You keep running until the dormitories come into sight. Thankfully, the building is still intact. Instinctively, Samara's picks up speed.

As you approach, you see a figure standing outside on the balcony.

You breathe a sigh of relief as you recognize Shoko, the school doctor.

You, Samara, and Satoru pull up with a screech.

Shoko's tired eyes look especially distressed as she stares out at the field. When you arrive, she looks over with recognition. "Oh, you're back," she says. "Good. A bit late, but..."

"What happened?" Satoru pants. You can hear the tension under his light tone. You realize your boyfriend is very close to snapping.

Shoko takes a puff of her cigarette then blows it out. "Some sorcerers from Kyoto came by. It seems they were here to finish off Yuji. Under whose orders, I'm sure you know."

"Right. Where are they now?" Satoru asks. His voice trails off because you are already sprinting towards the infirmary.

"They're alright," you hear Shoko's voice ghosting after you.

Your heart pounds as you guide Samara toward the hospital rooms. As you round the corner, you see a door ajar with the light still on.

You burst through it.

Your whole heart collapses when you see Megumi sitting up in bed.

His black hair is dishevelled, and his gentle face is covered with grime. A new cast dons his left arm, but otherwise, he is alright.

"Thank god," you say as you enter the room.

"(M/C)," Megumi registers your entrance with surprise.

You get off Samara's back and walk to his side. "Are you okay?"
