Challenge | Gojo Satoru

3

Satoru hummed to himself as he waited for you to return. He had full faith in you, considering your abilities, but something still felt off. Regardless, he could be patient.

He counted to five before stepping out of the vehicle.

You were unconscious on the ground, bleeding from your back. A woman was standing over you, lips twisted into a sneer. Ijichi's eyes were fluttering open.

"Hey, that's not very nice. And to my wife?" Satoru clicked his tongue and shook his head. "You've got some nerve."

"She- She's a Gojo?" The woman stumbled away, the hand holding a gun trembling. 

"Interesting. You know who I am." Satoru glanced to you, watching your chest rise and fall. Good. You were alive. 

"Of course we know of you." The woman ducked her head away. She fumbled with her gun and nearly dropped it. "Who doesn't?"

Satoru smirked slightly. "Ah, of course. But I don't see any cursed energy coming from you. Are you not a sorcerer?"

She snarled and lifted her gun before shooting.

It stopped, barely missing Satoru's chest as it struck the space in front of him. Satoru grinned widely, throwing out his arms.

"Did you really think that would work?" he questioned, slowly walking forwards. "I thought you knew of me. Do you not know of Infinity?"

You shifted, drawing his attention away for a moment. He cleared his throat and faced the woman again, smirking smugly.

"Why did you attack us?" Satoru inquired, sauntering over to you. He knelt by your side and lifted you up, throwing you over his shoulder.

"We- Revenge," she whispered. "Your wife killed many of our friends. When she wiped out the gang, she wiped out real people. Most of them were innocent!"

"We're going to kill her, no matter what it takes." The man from before was leaning against the car. He tapped the hood of the vehicle. "Did you like my little sabotage?"

Satoru sighed. "I'll pass along the message once she wakes. But if you'll excuse us-"

"No!" screeched the woman. "We're going to kill-"

Then she was dead.

Satoru wasn't even winded, turning to the man. "You still wanna kill her?"

He swallowed and shook his head before sprinting away.

Satoru let him escape. Someone needed to spread the word to not mess with you.

He eased you into the back seat, making sure to buckle you in. He placed Ijichi next to you and just so happened to forget to strap him in.

Satoru was lucky that the keys were still in the engine, even though the car was still broken now that he thought about it... Whatever. He reached into the backseat and put a hand on your shoulder, teleporting the pair of you to the front steps of the school.

"Uh, Gojo-sensei?" Yuji cringed, nudging Megumi, who turned around. "Is she okay?"

Megumi groaned. "Did you kill her?"

"She's not dead." Satoru frowned, checking for a pulse. He panicked for a second before he let out a breath of relief. "She's not dead," he reiterated.

"Wait, where's Ijichi?" Megumi asked, crouching next to you. He pressed his hand to your chest and waited to make sure it was still rising and falling. "And we should get her help."

"Nah." Satoru leaned against the wall. "She's fine. She can use the Reversed Cursed Technique, so once she wakes up she's peachy."

"What if she doesn't wake up in time for it?" Megumi cast you a worried look.
