❝𝑰 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔❞ It was so strange; everything she used to tell herself was up in smoke now. She was begging. Fucking begging. Mikazuki felt like porcelain, pieces of her slowly cracking, the immaculate white shattering into a million pieces while the golden blood she'd been cursed with filled the crevices. Beautiful, but also broken. "I'll be good!" Mikazuki promised, her face pale and weary. "I promise I'll be good! I'll do whatever you want!" She was babbling nonsense now; between the blood-loss and the agony, there wasn't a shred of sanity left in her mind. "I'll be a better daughter, the heiress you wanted. I'll be good, I will love you like I should." A single tear rolled down her cheek. "Dad, I love you. Please." And like a delicate porcelain doll, Kinzoku Mikazuki cracked. - Gojo Satoru was the strongest sorcerer alive. Kinzoku Mikazuki was the spare.

About me not being... wanted." Mikazuki turned to him, her golden eyes so clear he could almost see his reflection. The silence between the two sharpened, a sudden weight and electricity filling his veins while she waited patiently. He'd said those things in haste, poisoned by The Beldam's influence but, even then, a part of it had come from him; from his insecurities and his fears. It wasn't a reflection of who she was, but a reflection of the kind of person he'd become. Gojo's resolve faltered, gaze flickering down to Mikazuki's lips for a brief second before he caught himself. "I want you." Satoru confessed before his brain got the opportunity to catch up to his mouth. - Gojo Satoru was the strongest sorcerer alive. Kinzoku Mikazuki was the spare.

Satoru didn't think, holding her wrist with one hand and pitting her arm over her head and against the wall while his other palm pushed against her collarbone. "Say that again." He dared, baring his teeth while his fingers dug on her skin, not caring whether he left a mark or not. Mikazuki stood there, unmoving, completely at the mercy of the man she spent half a lifetime craving. She wanted to feel nothing, to be as cold as ice under his touch, but it was extremely hard to turn into a freezing ice cube when Satoru ignited flames under her skin. "Say. That.

And when you think you're done, there's another stone to turn over and a whole new road ahead. Forgiveness was never easy. Revenge, on the other hand? Revenge is easy. Anger is easy. Hatred is easy.

❝𝑻𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒏, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕❞ Mikazuki hadn't come back to make nice, nor mourn her twin's death. She'd come to burn everything to the ground, and in that single second, Satoru realized he couldn't let her. He could see it clearly, now. One day, maybe someday soon... he would have to kill Kinzoku Mikazuki. And she knew it, too. "Are you going to kill me, too?" Satoru's expression never changed. "Only if you leave me no other choice" "Good" Mikazuki stepped back, keeping her gaze on Satoru "Because I know I won't hesitate to take you out if you get in my way, Gojo Satoru" - Gojo Satoru was the strongest sorcerer alive.

A question he'd already asked and one he was so afraid of he could barely stand still. Satoru took a deep breath, finally looking at Mikazuki right in the eyes, the golden pool that looked back just as jarring as he knew the answer would be. "Did you kill Keisuke- did you kill my *best* friend so you could come back to Japan?" No. "Yes" she lied. - Gojo Satoru was the strongest sorcerer alive. Kinzoku Mikazuki was the spare.

But whatever warmth she had been expecting from him evaporated in that single instant, their gazes colliding for less than a second. And then, for the first time ever, Gojo Satoru looked away. Her fiancée, the man she was supposed to marry, her equal... Simply, looked away. "I hereby sentence you to be banished and stripped from your powers" - Gojo Satoru was the strongest sorcerer alive.
