The day started off weird for everyone. They kept getting calls about grade 2 curses but every time a sorcerer was sent out to exorcise it, there would be nothing. It confused the students and they all looked to their teachers for any clues as to what was occurring.

“Clearly we’re getting pranked.” Nobara said.

“What asshole has the time to call from different parts of the city for the past five hours ?” Maki asked with annoyance.

“Now now children don’t worry. The next call, I’ll go handle it.” Gojo said. 

“Does that mean we’re free to go ?” Yuuji asked.

“Of course not.” Gojo said happily making them all groan. They have been sent on wild goose chases all day. They were tired and bored.

“Why not ?” Megumi asked.

“Well everyone else is free. First years come with me.” Gojo clarified making everyone else cheer.

“Ehh ?! That’s not fair.” Nobara and Yuuji both said.

“Life isn’t fair.” Gojo said patting their shoulders but they looked like they wanted to bite his hands off. 

“Well...have fun.” Panda said politely and Toge gave them a salute before the second years shuffled out.

“Tell me we are at least going to end this.” Megumi said as they were being led to the car.

“Definitely. You can even have first dibs for this person wasting all of our time.” Gojo said.

“Lit !” Yuuji said and Nobara high-fived him in agreement. They were going to give this asshole a good talking to about lying. Soon they were at the location, it was in the richer parts of Tokyo and both Yuuji and Nobara went starry eyed. They couldn’t get enough of the city.

“Exorcise first, spend all of Gojo-sensei’s money later.” Megumi said grabbing the two by their collars before they could rush off.

“Fine.” They both huffed like twins.

“Wait I didn’t agree to that.” Gojo said but no one was listening as they made it inside the building. There was a faint sense of cursed energy and it seemed like it was moving.

“I think it knows we’re here.” Yuuji said.

“Yeah thanks to you, you glowing ball of cursed energy.” Nobara said making Yuuji grin. He couldn’t help that. They inside was like a normal company and thankfully the workers weren’t there. Nobara kicked a door open only for it to shut back on them, sealing tight. “What the fuck ?”

“Seems like it’s still toying with us.” Gojo smiled. 

“You’re having way too much fun old man !” The first years shouted as Gojo winked at them. How could they tell from beyond the blindfold was beyond him. He pressed against the door and using a bit of his own energy, burst it open. No one was expecting a strong beam of energy to immediately be thrown at them.

“Sensei !” They shouted but the force of the blast was strong and knocked them back. They blocked their faces from the debris and the blinding light. When they could finally look, Gojo was thankfully still standing there.

“Sensei are you okay ?” Yuuji asked, moving first.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry kids.” Gojo said. Nothing could touch him after all, especially cursed energy when he had infinity.

“You won’t be fine for long !” A voice shouted and they all looked to see a special grade. 

“Hey are you the asshole toying with us ?!” Nobara shouted, her hammer already ready. “Come down and fight us pussy !”

“A fight would be too easy.” The special grade laughed. “What I want is for the six eyes to know pain.” 

“Hmm ?” Gojo looked at the thing curiously. “How can you do that without touching me ?”

“Oh I won’t touch you. But he will.” And all eyes suddenly shifted to see the person an inch away from Gojo. They all reacted but it was too late. A cut to Gojo’s arm, small it was, it was enough for a bright blue light to blast at them again. Laughter was heard as they were knocked back again before fading away. Smoke filled the room and they all couldn’t see.

“What the fuck type of cheap tricks.” Nobara said, squinting through the fog.

“Gojo-sensei ?” Yuuji called. The smoke was thick so he took a deep breath before waving his arms quickly, fanning away.

“Why is that working ?” Nobara asked and Megumi only sighed. He stopped asking questions long ago. In front of them were now two figures. One, Gojo-sensei and the other-

“Am I seeing double ?” Yuuji asked, rubbing his eyes.

“No.” Megumi and Nobara said. They could see it too.

“What is this ?” The other person asked.  Arctic blue eyes met arctic blue. “Oh.”

“Well this is interesting.” Gojo said. “It’s me.” And that sentence had his students crying out in confusion. There stood a few feet away was a young Gojo. He was wearing the Jujutsu high uniform with his hands in his pockets. His messy white hair framed his face and bright eyes were hidden behind circle glasses and he looked at all of them curiously.

“This is interesting.” Young Gojo said. “Is this the future ?”

“Yes.” Gojo said. “Let’s call him Satoru for now to spare any confusion.”

“Sensei how do you know that's really you ?” Megumi asked.

“It’s hard to replicate me.” Gojo said. “Not just anyone gets my eyes.” Their sensei said. “Nor my powers.”

“Well what do we do with him ?” Nobara asked.

“Clearly take him back.” Yuuji said.

“Huh ?” Satoru said as he looked away from his older self. “Megumi is that you ?” He suddenly grinned. “Oh Megumi-kun look how big you’ve gotten.” Satoru said grinning from ear to ear. “Just yesterday when I saw you, you were this tall.”

“Sadly you didn’t get any shorter.” Megumi said blandly. Right they forgot Gojo knew Megumi for a while. 

“Of course not. I’m amazing like that.” Satoru said and they all felt sudden annoyance. Seems like Gojo didn’t get any better with time. “Interesting, I’ve become a teacher. And even train our dear Megumi. Along with...a country bumpkin.” Nobara immediately tried to hit him but Megumi held her back. “And...” blue eyes shifted to Yuuji. “What’s that ? There’s something evil inside the cute one.”

“Cute ?!” All three freshman gaped.

“Yeah don’t worry about it Satoru-kun, Yuuji-kun can handle it well. In the mean time, let’s take you back to Jujutsu high.” Gojo said.

“Not like I have anything better to do.” Satoru said with a shrug. Besides he was curious about how everyone aged in the future. Older him seemed strong, stronger than he was at least. So maybe Ieiri and Geto were also really strong now too.

“What the hell is that ?” Maki asked as they were all summoned back to the office. All eyes were on the younger Gojo who glanced at them curiously. Ijichi sighed as he went over the details for the second years. “So what you’re saying is some low life bested you ?” Maki said.

“Hey Maki you shouldn’t say that. They tried their hardest.” Panda said gently.

“Okaka.” Toge said and Panda seemed flustered trying to calm his friends down.

“Yeah well, now we have two of this idiot.” Nobara said. “And the younger one is disrespectful. He doesn’t appreciate beauty nor taste at all Maki-senpai.” Nobara said with a frown.

“Lies.” Satoru said. “I have a great sense in both of those. Also I’m older than you, shouldn’t you be a little more respectful ?” 

“Jerks don’t get respect.” Nobara said.

“Ah well I guess you won’t get any then.” Satoru said and Nobara was ready to pounce again.

“What do you want us to do with him sensei ?” Yuuji asked.

“Well he would be a target to the many enemies I’ve accumulated over the years so it’s best he stays with you guys. Until I and the other higher ups can figure out time travel.” Gojo said. “Until then, have fun with your new senpai !” And with that Gojo disappeared making half of them gawk. He really just left them with no advice at all. All eyes turned to Satoru who sat in his seat relax as ever.

“Are you not the least bit concerned ? You’ve just been ripped out of your timeline.” Megumi said.

“Oh I’m concerned but what can I do ? I don’t know how I got here nor how to get back but I’ll solve that with time. Besides, my timeline has some of the strongest sorcerers. They will be okay without me for a bit.” Satoru said. He strongly believed in his friends and he believed in himself. If future him had not shown any worries then neither will he. For now he would wait. “In the meantime, how about we all introduce ourselves. I already know Megumi-kun.”

“I’m Panda, second year.” Panda said. “A cursed corpse created by Principal Yaga.”

“Amazing.” Satoru said. “Yaga-sensei even became a principal, I can’t wait to see him and laugh at him.”

“This is Inumaki Toge, also a second year.” Panda said pointing to the off white haired male. “He can’t speak much so please don’t find him room.”

“Konbu.” Toge greeted.

“Ah a cursed speech. Also interesting.” Satoru said. “Nice to meet you.”

“Zenin Maki, second year.” Maki said with an eye roll. Satoru scrunched his nose up like that. The Zenin family is still polluting the world with their offspring ? Seems like maybe the future isn’t so bright. 

“And you, country girl ?” Satoru asked.

“Kugisaki Nobara. First year and don’t call me that. Actually don’t address me at all.” Nobara huffed.

“Fine with me. Onto something actually worth my time.” Satoru said as his eyes reached bright brown ones.

“O-oh I’m Itadori Yuuji, also a first year.” Yuuji said.

“Tell me Yuuji-kun, how is it that you end up with something dark inside of you ? You don’t seem like the type.”

“It- it’s a long story Gojo-sensei. I-I mean senpai.” Yuuji said rubbing his head. Looking back on it now it would be embarrassing to tell the older that he ate a cursed finger hoping to test fate and help out a friend. What he wasn’t embarrassed about was the people he saved. He’d do it again knowing that they were alright.

“Hmm. Well I have time. We can chat over dinner.” Satoru said. “By the way you all know me but you second years can call me Satoru since we’re the same age. And the kiddos can call me senpai.”

“I’d rather die.” Nobara said and Megumi looked as if he felt the same way. Even though he grew up with this man he would never see him like a respectable senpai. That was for Yuuta and Yuuta only.

“Rude. You know, glaring like that gives you wrinkles.” Satoru said before standing up turning to Yuuji. “Let’s eat ?”

“Yay I was hungry all day.” Yuuji said. “I have the perfect meal to cook us.”

“You cook ?” Satoru asked looking impressed.

“I had to growing up. Now it’s a bit of a hobby.” Yuuji said turning slightly pink as they walked out of the room. “Oh wait, sensei where will you be staying ?”

“He can stay with you.” Megumi said from behind. “I’m going to go sleep.”

“Yeah have fun with that jerk, Itadori ! If he does anything mean to you let me know.” Nobara said before walking off with Maki.

“Oh okay, see you later. Bye Panda-senpai. Bye Inumaki-senpai !” Yuuji waved at them who waved back before they two disappeared down the halls. Now there were two.

The kitchens were usually empty around this time of night so Yuuji had free reign over what he wanted to cook. He felt eyes on him as he cut up the vegetables skillfully before adding them to a soup. Yuuji glanced behind him to see Satoru staring at him, eyes sharp behind dark lenses and a small smile on his face.

“S-sensei?” Yuuji called. Did he need something ?

“I’m not your sensei, little kouhai.” Satoru chuckled, the sound made Yuuji’s ears burn red. “But you’re good with a knife.”

“I’m just good with my hands in general.” Yuuji said and Satoru grinned. Not wanting to address that grin, Yuuji worked on the meal. Soon they had a nice plate of fish in front of them with bowls of rice, some soup and side dishes.

“This looks lovely Yuuji-kun. Do you always cook like this ?” Satoru asked.

“Sometimes ? I just cooked a lot with Gojo-sensei cause I used to live with him.” Yuuji explained as he broke apart the fish with his chopsticks.

“And why’d you live with him ?” Satoru asked.

“That’s also a long story. But to make it short, I died. Then came back to life and had to go hiding until the higher ups were off my back.” Yuuji said.

“Oh them. They are a nuisance huh.” Satoru said and Yuuji shrugged. He kind of understood their reasoning for wanting him dead. He did host the king of curses inside of him after all. “Well I won’t talk about that since it looks like you get sad by those memories. Let’s talk about something else.”

“Mm, sensei can tell me why he covers his eyes all the time.” Yuuji said.

“I’m sure you’ve heard my now. I have a special ability passed down from my clan. It’s a bit...overwhelming to just see intense things all the time so to limit it a bit I’ll block it.” Satoru explained. “I guess older me has only gotten stronger since he uses a full on blind fold.”

“Only sometimes. Sometimes Gojo-sensei wears glasses like you.” Yuuji said.

“Which one do you think is more handsome ?” Satoru asked abruptly making Yuuji choke. What ?

“Uh erm.” Yuuji took a few sips of water. “Sensei looks good in both.”

“But...” Satoru heard the unfinished sentence.

“But I think looks most handsome when he’s dressed comfortably.” Yuuji said, cheeks pink and eyes not meeting the intense ones watching him.

“How cute.” Satoru said. “Finish your meal Yuuji-kun. Then we can head off to bed.”

Yuuji supposed the day would only get worse as there was some pajamas and a toothbrush set on his bed with a note that looked awfully like Gojo’s handwriting scribbled on the top. Seems like that asshole planned for this. Satoru laughed at the note before taking the new items.

“Yuuji-kun can shower first.” Satoru said. 

“Really ?” Yuuji asked.

“Mhmm. I’ll sit here and check out the games you have. Maybe we can play some when we both are washed.” Satoru said.

“Really ?!” Yuuji looked shocked now. Did older Gojo never do this ? Oh he was missing out. “I’ll beat your ass in Smash just wait sensei !” Yuuji said and rushed to the shower. Satoru smiled as he heard the door shut before he let it fade and turn around.

“Now what are you doing over there hmm ?” Satoru asked at the figure in the shadows. “Let’s make this quick okay ? I have a cute sleepover date with a kouhai and it would be rude of me to step out.”

“Gojo.” The person in the shadows stepped out.

“Nanami.” Satoru said. “You’re looking...tired.”

“Hmph. You have me out after work hours.” Nanami said.

“Not me. Other me.” Satoru said. “What did he send you here for ?”

“A ripple in time is not something to take likely Gojo-san. If you are able to come here just from a tiny wound then who knows what those special grades can do with a whole body. Keep yourself safe. I’m here to give you this.” Nanami stepped forward to hand him a wrist band.

“This-“

“To hide your cursed energy. It will be needed if you’re to be staying with Itadori.” Nanami said. “If that’s all.” Nanami turned to leave.

“Wait Nanami !” Satoru called. “I know you can’t tell me much since this is the future but Geto-“

“Don't.” Nanami said. “Don't ask me.” And then he disappeared leaving Satoru all alone. He frowned before sitting on the bed. He just wanted to ask if he and Geto were still friends.

Yuuji woke up to something warm rubbing his hair. He hadn't been patted on the head since he was young and rest in his grandfather’s lap. The nostalgic feeling made him a bit sad and he leaned into it a bit.

“Yuuji.” A smooth voice stirred his thoughts and he blinked his eyes open to meet crystallized blue. 

“Sensei ?” Yuuji got up slowly. They had fallen asleep after playing hours of games. It was a blue after that but Yuuji had been tucked in his bed peacefully. “Where’s the little sensei ?”

“Being questioned by Yaga.” Gojo said. “He told me you were exhausted and should let our sweet Yuuji rest more so I gave you an extra hour. But you still have class.” Gojo said.

“Oh.” Yuuji said wiping this eyes. “Thank you sensei. I’ll get ready now.”

“No need, classes have been cancelled.” Gojo said and Yuuji blinked unamused.

“Why ?” He asked.

“Because no one else woke up for them.” Gojo laughed making Yuuji giggle. Oh his fellow peers were funny. “Then should we go eat, my precious student ?” 

“You don’t have anything to do ?” Yuuji asked.

“Right now I can only wait. So until then, I have time for you, always.” Gojo smiled warmly making Yuuji flush.

“Sensei isn’t wearing his mask.” Yuuji said.

“Though I know I look cool with it on, we are going out to eat so it’s best to look casual hmm?” Gojo said. “Also I have my glasses.”

“Right. I’ll get ready so you won’t wait long.” Yuuji said and rushed off. Soon they are down town at a cafe. Gojo had about five desserts in front of him while Yuuji ate a simple waffle breakfast. “Sensei that isn’t healthy.”

“Ah are you worried about my body Yuuji-kun? Don’t worry I burn calories quick.” Gojo said with a grin. “Besides you don’t gain weight if you enjoy the food.”

“I second that.” Satoru’s voice interrupted them. He moved to sit next to Gojo who was across from Yuuji. Said boy looked at them and laughed.

“What ?” They both asked.

“You two look like father and son.” Yuuji giggled.

“Whaa Yuuji that’s so mean. I’m too young to be a dad.” Gojo pouted.

“Why are you acting like you’re five ? Is this why Megumi-kun hates us ?” Satoru asked poking at the older him side who yelped.

“Whaaat ? Megumi loves me.” Gojo said looking hurt at the thought while Yuuji laughed. His sensei was so silly.

“How did the meeting go ?” Yuuji asked.

“Great ! Yaga-sensei really is an old geyser now.” Satoru chuckled. “But he just told me basically to not try to actively hunt down the special grades who sent me here. And not try to know anything about the future. We don’t want to mess with time.”

“But are we doing that already ?” Yuuji asked.

“Sorta but it’s okay if I don’t know anything of the past didn’t happen yet for me.” Satoru explained.

“So it’s best you don’t actively try to seek out our old classmates. You’ll find them with time if you’re here for long.” Gojo said and the younger him hummed.

“Hey old man can you leave now ? I want a cute breakfast date with Yuuji-kun.” Satoru said and Yuuji choked again. Why did he have to say things so shamelessly ?

“Hey that’s not fair. I was here first.” Gojo said. “So therefore this is my date with Yuuji-kun.”

“Unfair ? You see him all the time.” Satoru said.

“Um it’s okay.” Yuuji interrupted them. “I like eating with you both.” 

“Really ?” Satoru asked.

“Yeah ! Gojo-sensei is really cool ! And you’re cool too. So being with you both is like double the cool.” Yuuji said with a bright smile. Both Gojos were stunned for a moment.

“He’s so cute how do you deal with it every day ?” Satoru whispered to Gojo who laughed.

“Self restraint.” Gojo said and Satoru officially admired his older self. Because right now, Satoru was walking on a thin line. His newfound kouhai was too cute to leave untasted. After all, sweets were Gojo’s favorite things.

Lately Yuuji could feel eyes constantly on him. Not even Sukuna’s presence was that strong and they were literally in the same body. Every time he looked around he saw nothing. Not even the movement of the wind. The feeling gave him the chills. Was he being stalked ? Was it a special grade ? Though they seemed interested in the curse king inside of him, they’ve been awful quiet lately, especially since the young Gojo was here. Yuuji was too lost in his thought that he didn’t even notice he was about to fall into a trap before a strong grip grabbed him by the scruff of his hoodie and held him high in the air.

“What are you doing little brother ? You’re thinking very hard.” The deep voice pulled Yuuji out of us thoughts.

“Ah ! Todo !” Yuuji grinned up at the tall teen. “What are you doing in Tokyo ?”

“Takada had a fan meet and I was the first one their of course.” Todo said simply before moving Yuuji to the side and placing him back on the ground. He then proceeded to beat up the grade three course that tried to get Yuuji. It looked like a spider and it’s cursed silk was soon being used against it as Todo tied it up painfully before exorcising it.

“Wahhh you’re still so cool.” Yuuji said giving Todo a thumbs up.

“Of course.” Todo grinned before giving Yuuji his full attention. “Now what’s on your mind ?”

“Oh you haven’t heard about what happened to Gojo-sensei ?” Yuuji asked.

“Something bad ?” Todo asked.

“Ah no. Kinda ? I don’t know yet.” Yuuji pouted.

“Huh. Then I must see immediately if it has you so tripped up.” Todo said.

“Mn since you’re so smart maybe you can think of a solution. Let’s go.” Yuuji said and took off. Todo was not one to be slow so he easily fell into place with his friend. Soon they were back. At Jujutsu high and Todo blinked at the young Gojo.

“Sensei !” Yuuji called out.

“I don’t think that’s your sensei, brother.” Todo said as Yuuji rushed to Satoru’s side.

“Ah Yuuji-kun what took you so long ? I thought you’d come straight here after your classes.” Satoru said. They were in the training court and only Maki and Panda were actually training while Toge and Megumi seemed to have fallen asleep on the side.

“Oh I went for a walk.” Yuuji said with a shy grin. “Then I ran into Todo-senpai. He’s from the Kyoto branch.” Yuuji said introducing the two. “This is Gojo-sensei but from the past. We sort of ran into a special grade that had it in for Gojo-sensei.” Yuuji said.

“Interesting.” Todo said looking at the teen. He was smaller than Todo but not by much. He still towered over Yuuji and he looked just like their sensei just... young. Interesting indeed. “I never heard of a special grade that can manipulate time.”

“Me either. I was in the middle of class when I was being sucked through time and space itself. Nice to meet you.” Satoru said.

“Todo-senpai is technically your senpai too.” Yuuji giggled and Satoru hummed. He rarely had any senpais.

“Where is Gojo-sensei ?” Todo asked.

“He went to talk to Ieiri-san. Something about the wound he was given played a key part into the time travel.” Satoru said.

“Gojo-sensei wounded ? Wow this just gets weirder and weirder.” Todo said.

“Any thoughts on it ?” Yuuji asked.

“I’d need more information but from the looks of it, it’s a blood curse. Was it done by a special grade ?” Todo asked.

“Surprisingly no. It was done by an unknown sorcerer. Definitely not someone known to the jujutsu world.” Yuuji said. “Kind of like Junpei.”

“Who’s Junpei ?” Satoru asked. He frowned at the sudden change in Yuuji’s attitude at the name.

“He was...almost a friend.” Yuuji said.

“I’m sorry to hear.” Satoru said.

“It’s okay. At least I can mourn him. At least I can think of him as a friend.” Yuuji said and both Satoru and Todo could see all the pureness that was Itadori Yuuji. A boy to kind for their world. A boy that they felt the need to protect. “Well, let’s move on from that. Instead, does Todo-senpai want to spar with us ?” Yuuji asked.

“I can’t today, sorry brother but I have an exam tomorrow. I just could miss the fan meet. But this was an interesting meet up. I’ll let you know if I come to a resolution for it. You be safe best friend.” Todo said.

“Mn ! Thank you brother.” They both pounded their fist before Todo left. Satoru watched him walk off for a second before turning to Yuuji.

“Brother ?” Satoru asked.

“Don’t ask. Itadori has a habit of collecting weird older men.” Megumi said, awake from his nap and stretching slightly.

“Ehh Fushiguro don’t say it like that !” Yuuji whined, cheeks pink. He didn’t collect them at all. They just kept finding him. He bet it was Sukuna’s fault.

“Hey don’t go blaming me you brat. Though I’m irresistible in every sense, you’re definitely a magnet to weirdos.” Sukuna said in his head making Yuuji pout. He wouldn’t listen to a word that asshole had to say. 

“Then how about we spar, Yuuji-kun?” Satoru asked.

“Do you think that would be okay ? I can’t really touch you when fighting. Doesn’t sensei have infinity ?” Yuuji said and Satoru cocked his head.

“What do you mean ?” Satoru asked.

“Hmm well I guess no one told you this but the evil thing that you can see inside me. That’s Sukuna, the king of curses.” Yuuji said. Satoru was silent for a few seconds before he shouted loudly.

“EHHHH ?!”

“Why didn’t you tell me Yuuji has Sukuna inside of him ?! That’s dangerous.” Satoru said to Gojo who didn’t even blink as one second he was alone in his living room and the next, the younger him was there yelling at him. Ah yes, children and their need to yell.

“Yuuji-kun is almost a perfect vessel for Sukuna. He has full control over his body and despite how much Sukuna wishes to take control, he can’t. I guess Yuuji’s will is too strong for him.” Gojo said.

“But how did he even get Sukuna inside of him ?” Satoru asked.

“Ah little Satoru-kun you know I can’t tell you that. Too much future info for you, little one.” Gojo said ruffling the younger’s white hair who grumbled and smacked his hand away.

“I could just figure it out.” Satoru grumbled as he sat down on the couch.

“Eh but how fair would that be. Then Yuuji won’t be come the person he is today. You wouldn’t want to ruin something like that for him would you ?” Gojo asked as he picked back up his iPad.

“That’s unfair. You’re using a weakness against me.” Satoru pouted.

“Maybe you shouldn’t have such an obvious one.” Gojo said.

“Then what’s your weakness, future me ?” Satoru asked.

“We’re the strongest, Satoru-kun. We aren’t supposed to have any weaknesses.” Gojo said and they both were silent for a moment. Silent because one knew that he didn’t mean it and one knew that every weakness gave you a strength. But they both kept silent until the sun went down.  And when Gojo finally looked up from his mindless scrolling, Satoru was gone.

“Okkotsu-senpai is coming back ?” Nobara asked directly after math. Yuuji couldn’t even fall asleep during that class because it was only three of them in it and he couldn’t even ask Sukuna for help because every time he did the curse would just ignore him. Maybe Sukuna was just bad at math.

“That’s what I heard from Panda-senpai.” Megumi said. “Though not for a few months.”

“I heard he’s supposed to be really strong.” Yuuji said

“He is.” Megumi said. “And really nice.”

“Wow.” Yuuji smiled. He admired people who were both strong and kind. People with good hearts always gave him a good feeling. “Do you think he will like me ?” Yuuji asked. 

“Everyone likes you, you dork.” Nobara said making Yuuji smile shyly. 

“Don’t give him any thoughts.” Megumi said. “He’s going to start adding more to his harem.”

“Who has a harem ?” The sudden voice behind them made all three of them jump and shout. They turned around to see Satoru who grinned innocently.

“Itadori does.” Megumi said and Yuuji gave him a look of betrayal.

“No I don’t.” Yuuji said.

“You kind of do.” Sukuna’s mouth formed on his cheek and Yuuji immediately slapped it.

“Wow it can talk.” Satoru said coming closer.

“Back away from me you six eyed heathen.” Sukuna spat out like he was talking to trash.

“Rude.” Satoru pouted but stood up straight nonetheless. “Is he always this rude ?”

“He doesn’t talk much.” Nobara admitted looking at Sukuna’s mouth fade away in disgust.

“Oh he’s always a bit rude.” Yuuji said. “But I figured if I just sing louder than he can talk then I won’t hear him.” Yuuji grinned.

“Oh you.” Satoru placed a hand atop of Yuuji’s soft hair. “You’re cute but dumb.”

“Oh.” Yuuji frowned at that. It wasn’t the first time he’s heard this so it didn’t hurt but he thought Satoru was better than that to say it out loud.

“Don’t be sad. I’m handsome and smart.” Satoru said giving a wink.

“How is that supposed to make anyone feel better ?!” The three first years shouted as Satoru walked ahead of them.

“I can’t wait till he’s gone. He’s like a bigger nuisance than Gojo-sensei.” Nobara said and Megumi sighed.

“Now you all know what I had to deal with at eight years old.” Megumi said and they both patted his back.

“We’re so sorry.” Yuuji said and Nobara nodded. 

“Yah you three ! Get the hell out of the hallway or shut up ! Some of us actually have class.” Maki shouted making them jump again.

“Sorry senpai !” Yuuji shouted and grabbed his friends to rub away from her wrath. It seemed every day was weirder than the next.

“Yuuji-kun ! How about we play a game ?” Satoru said and Yuuji looked up from his spot on his bed where he was trying to finish his history assignments.

“Games ? You can pick one and we can play it after I’m done.” Yuuji said. Satoru was sitting at his desk chair, silent for a while now until the sudden question.

“Eh not like that. And you can finish that later. It’s not due until next week.” Satoru said and Yuuji held up his finger, writing something down before placing his pen down. 

“Okay. I’ll take a break for now. What do you want to play sensei ?” Yuuji asked.

“Not your sensei.” Satoru reminded before shifting to Yuuji’s bed. He moved the books to the side as he sat close to the younger. “How about a question game ? I’ll ask one and you can ask one. We can take turns.”

“Oh okay.” Yuuji smiled thoughtfully. “What’s your favorite color ?”

“Red. Do you like boys ?” Satoru asked.

“Eh huh ?” Yuuji blinked. “Do I like boys ?”

“A simple question.” Satoru said.

“Oh I don’t know.” Yuuji said. “I never liked a boy before.” 

“Really ? Not even a little bit ?” Satoru asked. 

“I don’t know ? Is it different from liking a girl ?” Yuuji asked innocently. So innocent that Satoru had to hold in his laugh.

“Not at all.” Satoru said gently. “Liking someone is all the same regardless of gender. You start to fall for their look or their personality. You start to like the little things about them, like the way they laugh or how they speak. You want to spend more and more time with them, want to learn more about them. Do you have someone like that ?”

“Hmm someone that I’m interested in ?” Yuuji asked and Satoru nodded.

“Maybe. A lot of people interest me here.” Yuuji said.

“But do you like them ?” Satoru asked.

“Ah sensei it’s my turn to ask the question.” Yuuji said cheekily and Satoru huffed before complying. What a sly brat. “Does sensei like boys ?”

“Only the cute ones.” Satoru said. “Much like Yuuji-kun.”

“Eh ? I’m not cute.” Yuuji said shaking his head.

“What ? Yuuji is the cutest.” Satoru said moving to stroke Yuuji’s head. “You’re cute when you cook. Humming quietly to yourself and mumbling to the food as you prepare it. You’re cute when you focus on something. You get the cutest pout on your face and it makes your cheeks so squishy. And you’re really cute when you’re asleep. You hug a pillow close and you look so small and peaceful, I just want to hold you.”

“Ah Gojo-sensei you can’t just say that.” Yuuji was red and he couldn’t look at the older.

“Gojo-sensei this Gojo-sensei that. You’re not with your Gojo-sensei right now. You’re with me.” Satoru said leaning in close to Yuuji making him flush deeper. A cursed vessel should not be this cute.

“Mn but.” Yuuji tried not to sputter as he spoke. “You’re both the same right ?”

“Are we ? Should we compare ?” Satoru asked and soon he was on top of Yuuji pinning him down. “Would your Gojo-sensei do this ?”

“Maybe ?” Yuuji blinked. His sensei was weird like that. Some days he liked to squeeze everyone into hugs and other days he’d pull you into a chokehold. There was a lot of things his sensei would do.

“Huh maybe he isn’t as stupid as I thought he was.” Satoru said as he moved over to lay beside Yuuji.

“You’re literally the same person.” Yuuji said confused.

“I don’t know. I think I may have lost some brain cells along the way.” Satoru said making Yuuji giggle.

“Who taught you Gen-Z slang, sensei ?” Yuuji asked.

“I stalked Megumi’s Twitter as soon as I could.” Satoru said making Yuuji gasp.

“You know what Twitter is ?” Yuuji asked.

“What do you think I was born in the 1800s ? We had Twitter way before you kids.” Satoru huffed.

“Ha, now you really sound like Gojo-sensei.” Yuuji teased. They were silent once more, both staring up at the ceiling. “Are we done the game sensei ?”

“Yeah you should head to bed.” Satoru said.

“Okay. This was interesting.” Yuuji said as he got up to turn the lights off. He climbed back into his bed, not bothered that Satoru didn’t move from his spot. It was nice to have a presence beside him. He’s been alone for almost a year now, he didn’t think he would feel it much until a new person filled in the space. “Sensei.”

“Hmm ?” Satoru hummed.

“I’m glad that you’re here. Even if it’s a younger you. Even if it’s a you that doesn’t know me well. It still feels nice that you’re here.” Yuuji said. Satoru was silent but Yuuji felt him shift behind him and almost jumped when the older teen pulled him into an embrace.

“If it with you Yuuji, then I’m glad that I’m here too.” 

“We’ve figure out something.” Gojo said. “The sorcerer with the special grade. They aren’t linked with the special grades who’ve attacked during the Goodwill event. They’ve been mainly focusing their attacks on me so I’ve been trying to think whose bad side did I get on this time. And then it hit me. Satoru, do you remember a Aioda Kaiyo ?”

“No.” Satoru said blatantly making Nobara snort.

“Of course not, you wouldn’t have met this asshole and remembered him. Well you should have met him by now. You’ve met him during our trip to the country side near Osaka.” Gojo said. “Don’t think too hard just know that, what we did to him was unintentional.”

“What did we do ?” Gojo asked. He had went to Osaka last year with Geto and Ieiri.”

“We may have destroyed his last sentimental piece during a fight. His home must have been ones in the mist of a battle and the distraction cause more harm than money could fix.” Gojo said.

“So wait some guy is after you because you destroyed something from his childhood ?” Nobara asked.

“Yeah sadly.” Gojo said and Yuuji laughed. That would happen to their sensei.

“Why don’t you just apologize ?” Yuuji asked.

“Oh Yuuji-kun if only people were as kind as you.” Gojo said stroking Yuuji’s hair kindly. “But it’s too late for apologies. This guy hates me. And has a odd power that manifested pretty well over the years. Though I can’t say what that is for sure since there’s almost no information about him, once I find it, it shouldn’t be hard to send this one home and everything should go back to normal.”

“Ah no. I’m going to miss you, tiny Gojo-sensei.” Yuuji said pulling the older into a hug.

“Tiny ?” Satoru repeated but accepted the hug. “You know I’m taller than all of you right ? Except that giant.” He pointed to Gojo who gave them all a peace sign.

“That’s what makes you the tiny one.” Yuuji said before backing up. “We can help you find this Aioda guy sensei. Just tell us what he looks like.”

“That’s where the trouble begins. He’s with a special grade that can teleport and since he doesn’t have any cursed energy it’s hard to detect him. Just like with the phone calls.” Gojo said.

“So how do we catch this loser ?” Nobara asked.

“We bring him to us.” Gojo said. “He’s on the run but there’s only so many places to go to in Japan. And he’s not the only one who can teleport. His biggest fault is the special grade he’s with. If we can find that thing first. We can bring Aioda to us.”

“Then are we going on a mission ?” Yuuji asked. They haven’t had much action in weeks.

“Yup pack your bags kiddos. We’re going to the beach.” Gojo shouted happily.

“Yes !” Nobara and Yuuji cheered.

“Great.” Megumi said and Satoru grinned at him. At least the moody little brat didn’t change much.

“It’s so hot !” Nobara shouted as the sun beamed down on them. “Walk faster so we can get to the water.”

“We’re supposed to be watching out for a special grade.” Megumi said.

“Sensei said it was last spotted here so it’s okay. Once we feel it, sensei will open up a curtain and lock it in so it can’t teleport.” Yuuji said.

“That’s right. Then we can torture it until it speaks.” Gojo said making Nobara and Yuuji chuckle evil-like beside him.

“Are they always like this ?” Satoru asked.

“What ? Dumb ? Yes.” Megumi said.

“It’s interesting. Geto was never this funny.” Satoru said.

“Geto was your friend right ?” Megumi said and Satoru turned to look at him.

“Are we not anymore ?” Satoru asked.

“I can’t answer that.” Megumi said and Satoru pouted.

“You’re not fun Megumi-kun. Just because I can’t pick you up and squeeze you until you hug me back anymore doesn’t me I won’t try.” Satoru said and Megumi simply stuck his foot out to make the taller teen trip. The sound of him falling caught the other’s attentions.

“We can set up here.” Megumi said and they nodded, ignoring the white haired teen who got a mouthful of sand.

“Does he always eat like this ?” Satoru asked, staring at Yuuji through his dark glasses as the younger ate ice-cream like he never had it before. It dripped down his finger tips and he sucked on the sweet treat as he chatted with Megumi and Nobara about things Satoru has never heard of.

“Are you always this horny ?” Gojo asked, his dark frames also hid his eyes but they too were on Yuuji.

“Yes. I’m sixteen.” Satoru said simply.

“Can’t you be horny for someone else ? Out of all my students you picked the one who shouldn’t be touched.” Gojo said and Satoru rolled his eyes.

“That’s why I can’t stop it. Look at him. Why is he so fit ? Why is his skin so smooth ? I’m half hoping he drops the ice-cream so I can lick it off of him.” Satoru said and Gojo was judging himself. He really should have gotten laid more. He should get laid more now.

“I think you two shouldn’t be living together anymore.” Gojo said and Satoru smirked. 

“Why ? Afraid I’ll do something to innocent little Yuuji?” Satoru asked.

“Precisely that. But it can’t be helped. You’re the best to watch over Sukuna and he’s the best to watch over you.” Gojo said. “Well until you leave of course.”

“Mean. You better treat him right.” Satoru huffed.

“Of course I do.” Gojo said with a grin. 

“Sensei make her stop.” Yuuji’s whine broke the two out of their almost whispered conversation.

“Hmm ? What’s wrong Yuuji-kun ?” Gojo asked.

“Kugisaki keeps trying to peer pressure me into deep throating my ice-cream.” Yuuji complained and both Gojo’s almost died on the spot. She wanted him to do what ?

“Why do you want him to do that ?” Satoru asked.

“He’s good at swallowing things.” Nobara said and the joke make Megumi chuckle. Yuuji flushed red and he moved over to where the Gojos were.

“I won’t play with you two anymore.” Yuuji said sticking out his tongue.

“You can play with us Yuuji-kun.” Gojo said.

“Yes I’m curious as to how well you can swallow. How big.” Satoru’s words made Nobara cackle with laughter and Megumi blush. Yuuji was bright red and he got up to walk off the embarrassment. “Oh he ran away.”

“Best go get him before he loses himself in the sea.” Gojo said and Satoru stood up with a grin. “Don't do anything I wouldn’t do.”

“I feel like that’s not a helpful tip.” Megumi said as Satoru made his way towards Yuuji.

Satoru found the younger sitting near where more of the big rocks were. There was shade here due to the small cliff, so the rocks were scorching and they were a bit of a ways away from people so it was more quiet, more out of sight. Yuuji’s ice cream was gone now but there was still a mess on his lips that Satoru felt the need to kiss away.

“Yuuji. Are you actually angry ?” Satoru asked as he stopped a few feet away.

“You’re teasing me.” Yuuji said. “Is it because I think I like boys ?”

“Oh no. Never that.” Satoru said. “I tease you because you’re cute. We all do.” Satoru said gently.

“But when you do it, it feels different.” Yuuji said and Satoru saw that as a good chance to sit down by the younger.

“Different how ?” Satoru asked.

“I don’t know. Like warm different.” Yuuji was still pink, similar to his hair but oh so cute.

“Warm ? That’s a good thing right ?” Satoru asked making Yuuji shrug.

“It feels weird.” Yuuji said and Satoru chuckled.

“You know, you have a mess on your face.” Satoru said and Yuuji went to wipe it with his arm but Satoru caught it. “Here let me.” The six eyed user took this chance to lean in and lick at Yuuji’s cheek.

“S-sensei ?” Yuuji blushed.

“Oh you’re sweet Yuuji. But I bet you’re even sweeter here.” Satoru said before leaving over to lick at those precious pink lips. Said lips quivered slightly at the lick and Satoru had to stop himself to ask for consent. “Can I kiss you ?”

“Sensei ?” Yuuji asked.

“Yes or no, pretty.” Satoru said and Yuuji gave the faintest of nods before Satoru was on him. He pressed their lips together and could die because yes Yuuji was so sweet. The sweetest thing around and only for Satoru to taste. Satoru licked his away inside Yuuji’s mouth when he gasped as Satoru pushed him down on the smooth surface of the rock. He sucked on Yuuji’s tongue who moaned into his mouth and brought a hand up to Satoru’s cheek, pulling him closer.

“S-sensei.” Yuuji gasped as they broke apart only for Satoru to trail kisses down to his neck.

“I’m not him, pretty. What’s my name.” Satoru asked before sucking on a perfect spot between Yuuji’s shoulder and neck.

“S-Satoru.” Yuuji moaned and Satoru gave him an appraising nip.

“Good boy.” Satoru said before pulling back making Yuuji blink confused at the lost. “Sit on my lap.” Not having to be told twice, Yuuji moved into the taller’s lap. Satoru gripped his waist firmly as he pulled Yuuji back into a kiss. Yuuji had never been kissed like this. Hell he had never been kissed at all but it felt a bit embarrassing to say that when his brain was screaming at him to kiss Satoru as soon as the older licked his lips. It felt nice, like he didn’t have to do much of the work. Like he could follow Satoru and wouldn’t have to worry because Satoru held him firmly as reassurance and for once Yuuji could just let go.

They kissed like they were starving. Satoru liking it a bit rough but also wanting to dominate his precious Yuuji’s mouth in the sweetest ways. He licked and nipped at every thing he could. Curling his tongue around Yuuji’s just to give it a nice suck making the younger moan into his mouth. His Yuuji was so easy to please. He shouldn’t taste this could, hell he shouldn't even feel this good. Yuuji’s mouth was as sweet as him but also just as innocent. He followed Satoru’s lead like the good boy he was and Satoru wanted to do more to him.

“Fuck.” Satoru swore as Yuuji shifted his hips, making them break their kiss. “So needy aren’t you Yuuji-kun? I give you a taste and suddenly you need more.”

“I-ah.” Yuuji cried out when Satoru rocked their hips perfectly together. “I’m sorry.”

“Don't be sorry, pretty. I’ll give you everything you need.” Satoru said and there was a small tug and soon they were in the hotel room.

“Satoru.” Yuuji flushed. “The mission.”

“It’s fine. That thing isn’t going to be here any time soon. And if it does, I’ll kill it just for you.” Satoru said pecking Yuuji’s lips. “I’m the strongest remember ?”

“I remember.” Yuuji said, voice low as they were so close. “But I still worry.”

“So cute. You’re so cute.” Satoru said leaning to press kisses all over Yuuji’s cheeks. “I’m going to eat you.” He said biting Yuuji’s cheeks making the younger laugh and push at him lightly. Satoru flipped them around so he could press Yuuji into the bed by their hips causing the laughter to falter.

“Satoru ?” Yuuji gasped.

“No, keep laughing. It’s such a pretty sound coming from you.” Satoru said parting Yuuji’s hips with his knee to sleep in between them. He pressed down more, better aligned with Yuuji to feel their hard-ons brush against each other.

“Mmh.” Yuuji moaned loudly. How could he laugh when the only sounds he was making sounded like that.

“Actually I think your moans are pretty too.” Satoru said rocking them together slowly. “How long do you think you can last ?”

“Don’t know.” Yuuji said honestly.

“Have you ever touched yourself ?” Satoru asked and Yuuji blushed.

“A little.” He admitted.

“So pure.” Satoru said. “You’re too pure.” Satoru’s hips picked up speed and Yuuji couldn’t help but follow. He gasped as Satoru pressed into him just right, the pressure on his hardening dick just right that it made his eyes roll back slightly as hips move upward to chase the pleasure. “Look at you, already looking blissed out.” Satoru cooed. “I could give you so much more Yuuji-kun just say the word.”

“Like ah- ah Satoru oh my god.” Yuuji almost shouted as Satoru grabbed his hips, allowing Yuuji to wrap his legs around his waist and rut into him harder. “Like what ?” Yuuji asked.

“Well for one I’d make you cum like this. Rocking on my dick like the little tease you are and you’d enjoy it. Enjoy every second of our cocks brushing against one another with swim shorts as our only barrier.” Satoru said.

“And then ?” Yuuji asked.

“And then. I’d pull these shorts off to see the mess you made in them and taste you. I’d flip you around and taste that sweet little ass of yours before fingering you open. Then I’d fuck- I’d have you begging me to fuck you as you cum on my fingers and then and only then, pretty, when you’re crying for more, when I fuck you into this bed until you can’t walk anymore.” Satoru said.

“Oh my god.” Yuuji cried out.

“Do you want that pretty ? Do you want me to fuck you ?” Satoru asked and Yuuji couldn’t have nodded harder.

“Please I’m going to- ah nhah Satoru I can’t keep it in.” Yuuji whined and Satoru humped on him harder.

“I don’t want you to.” He said and that was all it took for Yuuji to let go. He cried out and shook as he creamed his shorts, trembling under the young Gojo’s firm build. “You sound amazing Yuuji. Really glad no one else is here.” Satoru said as Yuuji’s started to settle down. He placed a kiss at his collarbone, licking the teen’s firm skin before sneaking his hands to the waistband of Yuuji’s shorts. “Can I take these off ?”

“I’m messy.” Yuuji said shyly.

“Just how I want you.” Satoru said. “We can stop here though.”

“No. Sensei you- you haven’t came yet.” Yuuji said.

“That’s okay with me. Honestly I wouldn’t force you to do any more.” Satoru said honestly, blue eyes peaking from the shades he had on gleaming with honesty.

“Then let’s compromise.” Yuuji said before using his strength to flip them around. Satoru blinked at the quickness of it before looking down to see Yuuji slipping his tiny hands down Satoru’s shorts. Well that was going to be a memory engraved into his brain forever. Yuuji wasted no time pulling Satoru out from his pants. The older was angrily hard, red at the tip just waiting to burst with strong veins to prove how close he was. “Wow sensei. You’re so big.” Yuuji said, brown eyes seemed to be stuck on Satoru’s cock. “I don’t know how this is going to work.”

“How what’s going to work ?” Satoru asked before gasping as Yuuji went down on him. The younger almost took him in completely before pulling back up with no strain. “I- you.” Satoru was short circuiting. “You could have choked !”

“I don’t have a gag reflex sensei.” Yuuji grinned as he gave Satoru’s tip a curious lick making the older teen twitch under him. 

“So they weren’t joking ?” Satoru said, a bit breathlessly as Yuuji was becoming more aquatinted with his dick.

“No. But it’s still mean to joke about.” Yuuji said with a slight pout before tacking Satoru all in again. He gasped at the feeling of the tight heat around his cock. He was already so hard from the sweet thing that was just underneath him calling his name that having said sweet thing now sucking his cock gave him whiplash. Satoru could do nothing as Yuuji bobbed his up and down. His throat was tight and Satoru couldn’t help but buck his hips to meet Yuuji half way. When the younger didn’t choke, Satoru did it again.

“Ah I hope you don’t mind being voiceless for a few days.” Satoru said and Yuuji did a small hum of confusion before Satoru grabbed his head and pressed him down until his nose was buried into his sternum. Satoru trembled at the feeling of his cock being completely engulfed before pulling out slightly only to thrust back in. “Fuck yes you’re amazing Yuuji.” Satoru said as he guided Yuuji’s head up and down his length. “I knew from the moment I saw you that you’d be perfect. Perfect for me.” Satoru circled his hips a little bit, feeling the need to cum become stronger and stronger and he fucked Yuuji’s throat. “Tell me quickly Yuuji, do you want it inside or out ? Tap me once for inside, twice for out.” 

The younger slapped his thigh once and gave it a strong squeeze and that was all Satoru needed to do before he was using Yuuji’s mouth like a cock sleeve until he came deep down Yuuji’s throat.

“Fuck yes Yuuji !Yes yes yes.” Satoru moaned as he twitched from the big load be just let out. He let Yuuji’s head go and the younger pulled off with a gasp. His head fell to Satoru’s thigh as he tried to collect himself while Satoru was above him doing the same. “Are you okay ?” Satoru asked.

“M’okay.” Yuuji said after a moment.

“We should get back.” Satoru said and Yuuji frowned before looking up at him.

“But now we’re both messy.” Yuuji said. “I couldn’t swallow it all.”

“Oh Yuuji. You didn’t have to swallow at all, shit.” Satoru said stroking the younger’s hair. “Why are you perfect ? Older me doesn’t deserve you.”

“He doesn’t have me ?” Yuuji said though his cheeks went pink. Not yet if Satoru had anything to say about it.

“Let’s wash up. And I’ll get us some new shorts.” Satoru said and Yuuji nodded, sitting up slowly. When they both came back with slightly damp hair and different shorts on, no one said anything. But, Yuuji could feel his sensei’s gaze on him and it only made him squirm in his spot.

They corned the special grade later on that night. Yuuji punched it a few meters back as it tried to dodge Megumi’s attack, successfully allowing Gojo to put up the curtain. It tried to teleport away but both Gojo’s stopped it from even trying with the force of their energy. Now with its legs broken and it’s- well Yuuji thinks that’s it’s head- twisted oddly to the side, they questioned it.

“Where’s Aioda ?” Gojo asked.

“Who ?” The special grade said even though it was squirming under Yuuji’s foot.

“We literally saw you two together don't play dumb.” Nobara said, threatening to throw a nail at the thing and end its life.

“Even so, you won’t find him. Kill me and you really won’t find him. He’s a ghost.” The cursed being laughed. “A ghost.”

“Really ? You won’t even give a little hint ?” Satoru asked and the special grade laughed harder.

“Just the fact that you’re here means it worked. And if it worked then there will only be a matter of time before it’s the end of the six eyes forever. The end of Gojo Satoru forever.” It said.

“Does a grudge like this really have to be that deep ?” Yuuji asked. “It’s not like sensei personally attacked you.” 

“Shut up vessel. What do you know ? You’re just a host for our king.” The special grade said and Yuuji glared at it before kicking at it making it cry out. 

“Hey hey Yuuji, don’t let it get to you.” Gojo said using his powers to halt Yuuji’s foot. “If it really won’t speak then well, I guess we will just have to kill it. And since it’s not worried then that means Aioda must be close.” 

“Then he’s all yours sensei.” Yuuji said before kicking the special grade to Gojo. Their sensei smirked before placing his hands together. “Domain expansion. Unlimited void.”

“So what did you and Gojo-sensei Junior do while you were gone ?” Nobara asked as they were back into their hotel for the night. They were all freshly showed and in their pajamas but before Yuuji could sneak back into his shared hotel room, Nobara and Megumi caught him and dragged him into the hallway.

“What ? Nothing.” Yuuji said.

“Mhmmm.” Nobara said and Megumi gave him a blank look. “That would have been believable if you could lie.” Yuuji pouted at that. Fuck him and his honestly.

“Also you think we don’t see this ?” Megumi said and pulled Yuuji’s button up pajama collar to expose his neck that was dusted in hickies.

“Y-yah !” Yuuji shouted as he turned red. “Fushiguro have you no shame ?”

“Have you ? Getting it on with the younger version of our sensei. I’m surprised you can still walk.” Nobara said.

“What ? What makes you say that ?!” Yuuji squeaked.

“We all seen the outline of his dick Yuuji. He ain’t small.” Nobara said simply making Yuuji gawk.

“Given from the way his voice is hoarse. He knows that.” Megumi said and Yuuji had to beat his friend up now. It was only right. Nobara laughed hard as Yuuji chased Megumi around. He was seconds away from getting the black haired boy when a body materialized in front of him. Yuuji bumped into the solid chest and let out a small noise as he flew back a few steps.

“You three are being loud. It’s bed time.” Gojo said before grabbing Yuuji to throw him over his shoulder. “You sleep with me. Megumi with Satoru. Nobara...Goodnight.”

“Goodnight sensei!” She grinned before running away. Megumi gave him a nod before going inside the hotel room. Yuuji frowned as he didn’t get full revenge and let Gojo take him into the hotel room.

“Honestly Yuuji if I had known you had a crush on me I would have never let you two live together.” Gojo said as he let Yuuji fall onto the bed.

“Huh ?! You think this is my fault ? Sensei are you blind ? The younger you is like a wild dog.” Yuuji said as he sat up. “A wild starving dog that wants to eat me.”

“Hmph I’ll have a talk with him too.” Gojo said as he turned the lights off. “Time to sleep.”

“You’re so biased, you won’t even listen to me.” Yuuji whined. It was completely dark in Gojo’s room so he didn’t notice his teacher standing right in front of him until the man chuckled.

“Oh I hear you. I know how much of a...unrestrained beast I can be.” Gojo said.

“Ew.” Yuuji said grimacing at the thought.

“How is ew with me but hot with him. We are the same person Yuuji-kun. Ah and here I thought you were my nicest student.” Gojo fake cried. Yuuji felt him move to sit on the bed and shook his head. Somehow Gojo and Satoru felt the same and different. His sensei was a bit of an airhead, funny and a wild card while Satoru was also airhead but cocky and held himself like he wanted people to notice him. But at the end of the day they both were his playful sensei who liked to tease him and call him cute so it confused him. “When he’s gone you’ll see my worth.” Gojo said making Yuuji laugh but it felt half hearted. It felt too soon for Satoru to leave.

“Sensei ?” Yuuji called and the older man stopped his fake crying to sit up.

“Hmm ?” Gojo answered, sensing the serious tone in the boy’s voice.

“Can you rub my hair, like you did when we used to live together ? I think I’m going to have some trouble sleeping again.” Yuuji said and Gojo gave him a hidden soft smile.

“Of course Yuuji-kun, I told you before and I’ll tell you again, you’re never alone anymore. You have me.” Gojo said and helped Yuuji under the blankets. He didn’t get under them himself as he laid on his side and carded his hand through peach curls. It took a moment but eventually Yuuji’s breathing evened out though the hold on Gojo’s shirt sleeve didn’t loosen.

“Nanamin ! You’re here !” Yuuji shouted loudly as he seen the blonde man from a distance. The past office worker looked at him in acknowledgment and Yuuji took that as a sign to hug him. “I missed you Nanamin. Everyone here is so mean to me.”

“Mean to you ? That’s impossible.” Nanami said making Yuuji laugh.

“Ah you think so ?” Yuuji asked.

“Hey Nanami ! Look at you, you’ve really become uptight.” Satoru said.

“Ah the little Gojo. Please refrain from speaking to me as I already deal with the older you as it is.” Nanami said.

“No can do. You’re my precious kouhai.” Satoru said and Nanami looked like he was debating on punching Gojo or clocking out early.

“Ah I forgot this idiot is older than you.” Nobara said.

“Sadly.” Nanami said.

“I think the same thing.” Megumi sighed.

“Well since we are all here, that must mean you know where Aioda is.” Gojo said.

“More like where he will be. Since his transport is no longer functioning, he’s moving in foot headed south. You probably know where.” Nanami said. “I’m just here to make sure you send this one back and take Aoida in for questioning so please, refrain from killing him.”

“Depends on him.” Gojo shrugged.

“As long as I get to hit him for wasting our time I’ll feel better.” Nobara said.

“Then let’s go. We can beat him to Osaka and wait for him.” Gojo and looked at Satoru who nodded.

“Hold my hand Yuuji-kun.” Satoru said and Yuuji took it without question.

“Huh? Why ?” Yuuji asked but couldn’t even blink as they were suddenly in an abandoned neighborhood. “Hah ?” Yuuji blinked.

“Wow asshole why did you only take him ? Now we all had to hold onto Gojo-sensei.” Nobara said as they popped up next to Yuuji. Satoru shrugged before squeezing Yuuji’s hand. 

“How long until he gets here ?” Megumi asked.

“Thirty minuets. Do you remember which house was his ?” Nanami asked.

“Huh ?” Gojo looked around. “It’s been a while and I can’t say but from the aim of the blast. It could have been this way.”

“Oh this place is familiar.” Satoru said as he looked around. “We were just here last year when Geto chased down that special grade. When we shot it down. There was about three houses in the way. So my aim wasn’t perfect.” 

“This way.” Gojo said and they all followed him. The houses did look like a hurricane hit them, nothing but old wood and broken furniture infested in nature.

“How are we going to get him to send Satoru-san back to the past ?” Yuuji asked. It’s not like the guy would do it willingly because he hates Gojo.

“That’s something we are going to have to talk him into. Or at least get him to open up the portal.” Gojo said.

“We should hide. We can’t feel him since he doesn’t have any spiritual energy but we will be able to hear him. He’s probably frantic.” Nanami said and they all nodded before hiding in the rubbish. It took as long as Nanami had said before they heard the sound of someone running. Aioda rushed in with a large suitcase in his hand, eyes wide as he talked to himself.

“This is it. Soon there will be no more of that cursed Gojo. Soon no one else will have to hurt because of him. I will end him completely.” He laughed a bit at the end. Yeah definitely crazy. He walked into one of the houses foundations and knelt into the middle. “I’m sorry mother. This is all that I can bring to you for today will be our vengeance.” He pulled out what looked to be a statue and placed it down. He whispered to himself before pulling out a knife and cutting his hand. Before he could press it to the statue, his hand froze.

“My my my. You are a weird one.” Gojo said as he stepped out from his spot.

“You ! You shouldn’t be here so soon. Nonetheless it doesn’t matter. I’ll kill you.” Aioda said.

“Must you ?” Gojo asked.

“It’s the only way.” Aioda said before slamming his hand down. The ground shook and the statue started to float before it cracked.

“What the hell is that ?” Nobara asked.

“Allow me to introduce you to the thing you stole from me. Something I can finally get back after all these years. Meet the memories of my mother.” The statue cracked completely and out popped a special grade female curse. It shouted as it dropped to the ground. “Collected from pieces of time, you will feel all her anger.” The curse swung at  Gojo who didn’t even blink at it. “As well as mine.” Aioda used the movement to run forward with the knife. Gojo jumped back only to almost knock into the curse. This was a two on one it seemed. How unfair.

“Wow you’re really trying to jump him right now.” Satoru said as he caught Aioda’s fist. The older man looked shocked at he didn’t sense Satoru and tried to jump out of his hold.

“Please let’s make this quick.” Nanami said as he held out his cursed weapon. The special grade attacked him Nanami was quick. He jumped out of the way to get a clear view on where to slice the curse apart. Meanwhile Gojo and Satoru were circling around Aioda, halting the man in his steps.

“You bastards. You’re always ruining things.” He tried to cut himself again but Satoru kicked him on his side cause him to cry out and stop the knife. They forced him down on the ground, face pressed into the mud while Nanami finished off the special grade.

“Hard way or easy way ?” Gojo asked and Aioda spat at him as a response. “Man they always choose the hard way.” Gojo said before knocking the villain out. “I’ll see you all at the school.” He said before disappearing.

“He lied. I didn’t get a single hit. Why was this guy so weak ?” Nobara cried from her hiding spot.

“His powers were mostly front he special grades and this cursed memories. Without them he is just a man dealing with years of loneliness.” Nanami said and the three first years frowned at that.

“Brightside we didn’t kill him.” Satoru said.

“Doesn’t mean he won’t die.” Megumi said before placing his hand on Satoru’s shoulder. The others did the same before disappearing. Leaving the village just like how they found it. Abandoned.

“Just open the portal old man. Some of us would like to go back to a normal life.” A shout from the crowd as both Gojo’s, all the first years and the second years were there to convince Aioda to open the portal to send Satoru back.

“Never !” Aioda spat.

“We know you don’t have any cursed energy so it’s your cursed tool that you use to open the portal. All you have to do is use it.” Yaga said looking unamused behind his glasses.

“And have you win and I lose ? If I’m going to die, I’d rather do it by ruining your lives too.” Aioda said. “He’s stuck here forever now.”

“What an nuisance.” Maki said.

“Honestly just bribe him. What does he want ?” Nobara shouted.

“Hey. Let me talk to him sensei.” Yuuji said making everyone freeze.

“Really ?” Gojo asked.

“It’s worth a try.” Yuuji shrugged.

“If he tried anything I’ll cut off his hands.” Gojo said but stepped aside.

“Hey old man.” Yuuji said as he crouched down to the tied figure. “Death isn’t what you want is it ? Not really.”

“What do you know ? They’re going to kill you too when they get the chance.” He said and Yuuji nodded at that.

“I know this. But I gave value in my life to save people. I know what it’s like to lose someone close to you. But the only reason I made it this far in life is because of how that person wished for me to live. I’m not happy that the world took them, but I’m happy that they could find some peace within their dead.” Yuuji said. “We all feel lonely after a persons death. But that doesn’t mean we should cause more pain. Our loved ones didn’t want us to suffer so why make others suffer too ? In the end don’t we all live and die just the same ?”

“It’s not the same. That asshole destroyed the only thing left that I had from my mother. No amount of time I go control can give me her back. And no matter how many times I go in the past, I can’t seem to stop him from destroying everything. So why not get rid of him as a whole. Without him, my world would be at peace.” Aioda said.

“But for how long ? Sensei isn’t just a replaceable sorcerer. Soon as he’s gone, many dangers will show up. And the new memories that you’ve made can easily be taken by someone else. Is that what you want ? For yourself to fade just like your mother’s memories will ? Because if you die, no one will be able to share her stories. No one will be able to mourn her or honor her. It will be like she was nothing. Just a speck in the universe. Do you want that ?” Yuuji asked.

“No.” Aioda said, fist clenched as tears rolled down his face.

“Then stop this meaningless battle. Each moment you drag this on, is another moment of her fading away. You have to move on and accept that she’s gone but also respect and value the life she’s live. You have to let go of the past.” Yuuji said and Aioda cried. He cried for a long time until he didn’t feel any more tears come out. But Yuuji didn’t move a bit, just sat across from him patiently.

“You know. You’re not like what they say Sukuna’s vessel is like.” Aioda said.

“No. But that’s because I’m my own person.” Yuuji said. “Do you feel better ?”

“A bit.” Aioda admitted.

“Send him back. Or if you can’t, let us know how.” Yuuji said.

“I won’t let him know. But I’ll tell you. But the six eyes can never know. That is my only wish.” Aioda said and Yuuji nodded, scooting closer to hear the secret. Once he pulled away, Yuuji nodded and stood up. Aioda was immediately picked up and dragged away.

“Well, where do we start ?” Yaga asked.

“We need his cursed weapon that you obtained. And a lot of cursed energy.” Yuuji said. “It will take a  bit of time to form but we can do it.”

“And then ?” Satoru asked.

“And then you go home.” Yuuji said with a soft smile. It didn’t reach his eyes not one bit.

They sent Satoru back later that night. He said his goodbyes to everyone, hugging megumi and telling him he’d never forget how big he’s gotten and informing his older self a bit on Yuuji’s preferences. He then walked towards the curse’s vessel before pulling Yuuji into a hug.

“Don’t worry Yuuji-kun, I’m not even truly leaving you. That idiot over there is one hundred percent me and I would never leave you.” Satoru said.

“I know.” Yuuji said but his eyes still looked sad.

“This would be better if you cried.” Satoru said and Yuuji laughed.

“I’ll cry later. Right now it’s best to be happy that you get to go home. Back to your friends and live your life. But don’t worry, we will be waiting for you.” Yuuji said.

“It’s time.” Yaga said and the portal opened.

“Then I can’t wait. Until then Yuuji.”

“Until then, Satoru-senpai.” Yuuji said and Satoru gasped.

“What the hell how dare you be this cute as I’m leaving. Evil.” Satoru placed a kiss atop of Yuuji’s head before stepping into the portal. It immediately shut behind him making everyone sigh.

“Thank god that’s over. Let’s go eat.” Maki said.

“I want fish !” Panda said.

“Me too me too.” Nobara said and Toge nodded eagerly. Everyone shuffled out leaving Yuuji to stare at where the ripple in time used to be.

“Ah Yuuji-kun, you make me so jealous even of myself.” Gojo said wrapping his arms around Yuuji who still didn’t blink. “How rude of you, to look at anyone else.” 

“Sensei.” Yuuji’s voice cracked and suddenly he was crying.

“I’m right here Yuuji. I’ve always been right here.” Gojo said turning the teen around to hug him close. Yuuji sobbed into his chest and Gojo could do nothing but hold him and rub on his back gently. “It seems like I’ve neglected you.”

“A bit.” Yuuji said as he pulled away. They were no longer at school but Gojo’s house. It’s been a while since he’s been here. “Can I stay here tonight ?”

“Of course you can. I’ll feed you and tuck you into bed just like I used to.” Gojo said and Yuuji laughed.

“Actually that was me.” Yuuji said and Gojo laughed too.

“Right. How could I forget. Then why won’t we eat and tuck each other in.” Gojo suggested.

“I don’t think that’s how it works.” Yuuji said. “But I’m down to try it.”

“Good boy.” Gojo said and Yuuji flushed pink.

“Sensei.” Yuuji started but Gojo shook his head.

“You’re a bit too young now Yuuji. But within time, when you find that you’re ready, I’m right here.” Gojo said and Yuuji nodded.

“Food ?” Yuuji said and Gojo nodded.

“Let’s eat.”

Somewhere across Japan in Kyoto, Todo woke up from his sleep. His 530,000 IQ had finally kicked in and he found an amazing away to send the younger Gojo back. Sending a quick text to Yuuji to meet up, Todo laid back in his bed. Ah look at him, saving the world yet again. Not boring, not boring at all.
