[HIATUS] Mha/Bnha x Female Gojo| I Alone Am The Honoured One

56. Finding Home

Then, I felt like opening my eyes.
I was conscious. I could feel All Might sitting beside me, his presence as overwhelming as ever.

"Don't react," I said calmly, my eyes still closed to avoid startling him. The last thing I wanted was for anyone to know I was awake.

"Y-Young Gojo!?" All Might stammered, almost screaming.

"How did you unseal me?" I asked immediately, sitting up with precision. My gaze locked on him, searching for answers.

He hesitated, as if piecing together a memory. "Oh, that’s—"

~Flashback~

"They're retreating!" a voice echoed in the chaos.

"Akira Gojo, Our next target is you. Only you."

"Fall back for now!"

The villains were pulling back, the clash ending in a grim stalemate. Shoko knelt beside the sealed Gojo, her brow furrowed with determination.

Amid the crumbling battlefield, Nanami turned to Shoko, urgency thick in his voice. "Shoko, take Gojo!"

"Hai!" Shoko responded without hesitation, her movements precise and deliberate.

"We can’t unseal her without Hana Gojo," Nanami muttered, frustration evident in his tone.

Shoto, barely standing, staggered forward, blood trickling from his wounds. "There has to be a way," he insisted, his voice strained but resolute.

Shoko's gaze softened briefly before hardening again. "There might be one, but it’s dangerous." She turned to Nanami. "You remember the last time I attempted to open a portal to our world?"

Nanami's eyes widened as he realized her intent. "You're not serious, Shoko. That nearly tore you apart last time!"

Shoko gave a curt nod, resolute. "This is Gojo. Our Gojo. I’ll do it. There’s no other choice."

Nanami hesitated, weighing the risks, but eventually gave a sharp nod. "Fine. But if anything happens—"

"I’ll handle it," Shoko interrupted, her voice firm. She turned to the other heroes. "Keep the area secure. No interruptions."

Shoko began weaving her hands through the intricate gestures required to open the dimensional portal. The air grew heavy, charged with energy as cracks began forming in the fabric of space around her.

"Will this actually work?" Shoto asked, wincing as he clutched his side.

"It’s not just about opening the portal," Shoko explained, her voice strained from the effort. "I have to find her and convince her to come back. That’s the real challenge."

The portal shimmered, an unstable, swirling mass of light and shadows. With one final gesture, Shoko stepped through and vanished.

Meanwhile, in the Otherworld...

Hana Gojo sat alone in the vast expanse of white, a serene yet sorrowful expression on her face. She had long since accepted her place here, detached from the living world.

"Gojo-sama," Shoko called, her voice echoing through the void as she emerged from the portal.

Hana turned slowly, her eyes widening in recognition. "Shoko...?"

"We need you," Shoko said without preamble. "Akira is sealed, and we can’t free her without you."

Hana’s expression shifted to one of pain. "Akira… is sealed? My child is suffering again?"
