Tokyo
Screams filled the hall. A big curse was chasing a man. «Come here, let's play» said the curse with a distorted voice.
The man didn't replied, he just screamed in terror. Tears filled his eyes while he was running away from the curse.
The man fell to the ground, he started cry, sobbing and whispering in despair. He didn't even rised his head, he was sure that the curse was going to eat him. He gave up, he couldn't survive.
After few seconds he heard a big blow. The sound was coming from behind him. He slowly rised his head and watched behind him. He saw a boy in a black suit standing in front of the curse.
The boy turned his head towards the man who slowly rised in his feet and then he shouted «What are you doing here? Go away!».
"Damn... Today was my free day. Nanami just dropped me here and disappeared" thought the boy.
«Come here, let's play» Said the curse with a distorted voice, he was talking to the man who, incited by the boy, runned away.
«You stay, You play» This was the curse's respond at that man's escape, now he was talking to the sorcerer.
«Yeah Yeah» The Sorcerer boy rised his finger and said «Listen, I offer you a chance to live: A binding vow» The sorcerer grinned.
«A... Binding... Vow?» Answered the curse."You don't seems very bright" Thought the boy
«Submit to me and I'll let you live» The curse started to contorts his face, he couldn't believe an human asked him to serve him.
«Or» The tip of the Sorcerer's finger started to bright with a bluish colour, a sort of spatial portal was building up in his left side «I'll kill you here and now».
The curse looked at the sorcerer, his eyes were looking back at him in a cold way, he was deadly serious. «Play with me» Said the curse.
«Play with me» he wanted to tease him.
«Play with--».
The portal at the sorcerer's side opened and a big, black hand popped out from it. The curse didn't had the time to finish his sentence that he was crushed by that hand.
«You should blame you poor intelligence» Said coldly the Sorcerer.
beep beep*
His phone vibrated. He took it and he saw new notification that popped up on the phone's screen. It was Gojo.
Gojo: I need you for a job Mako. Come by my house as fast as you can.
«Damn» He sighed «Gojo, today was my free day. Why you and Nanami hate me so much?».
He talked alone while watching the phone's screen. Then he replied "Today is my day off, ask to someone else like Takuma or Kusakabe. And for the god's sake call me by my name". He put his phone inside the pocket and started to walk towards the exit. After few steps his phone vibrated again.
beep beep*
Gojo: Nanami told me that you were in a mission in the west part of Tokyo, you are near my place. You and Nanami are the only ones I can truly entrust this job. PS Hush Mako, that's fine :D
"Nanami why you left me deal with this clown?" He thought.
Mako walked out the main door of the building, the man who was running away from the curse was there. When he saw the sorcerer he started to ask him several questions.
«Oh my god, are you alive? Did you beated that monster? I've never seen something like that in my entire life? What it was? How were you able to beat him? Are you a sort of superhero? I need to reward you for saving my--»
Mako interrupted him putting his finger in his lips, he leaned near his face and then he said «If you say another word I'll kill you».
That man started to tremble at his words, then Mako answered his questions «Yeah can't you see it or are you blind? I did. You are lucky then. A curse. That's a secret. God yeah please, pay me, this is a sort of overwork after all».
The man didn't listened to the sorcerer's answers. He start to look at his left shoulder, a little dirt greenish curse started to pop up out of nowhere. He was so scared, he thought that it was the same curse of before.
«L...l...l-look...at..» He started mumbling. The sorcerer looked at him who was pointing at his shoulder. The curse start to speak
«Master you shouldn't ask for compensations you know it Keh Keh» the curse started to laugh.
The curse's laugh made the man tremble, the sorcerer then, trying to calm him down «He is under my control, he won't hurt you unless I say otherwise»
Then he looked at the curse while he created a little portal «Otto come here».
The little curse already knew what to do, after he left out another «Keh keh» Otto jumped inside the portal.
«Speaking about that reward... I need a ride to some place, can you help me?» that man slowly nodded, he had a puzzled yet scared face.
After few minutes they found themselves inside a car, the man was driving and Mako was in the passenger seat.
«B-by the way, my name is Izo Yamato, what is yours?»
«I don't know why I should tell you but my name is Marco» The sorcerer yawned
«O-oh, that's a strange name» said Izo.
«Indeed» The sorcerer just turned his head and looked outside the car window
"I'll die out of boredom".
After ten minutes or so they arrived at Gojo's house. The sorcerer exited from the car, Izo made the same and went near him. «T-this is my number» he gave him a piece of paper «I-i would like to have yours too».
Marco looked at the piece of paper and then said «I don't know what idea you made about me but old random men are not my type» he then faked a smile «If you really want to meet-».
«I'M NOT OLD» Shouted Izo «I'm just 32 years old and i didn't gave you my number for strange stuffs. I just want to be sure to have someone to call in case of needs».
Marco yawned «Fine fine, but I won't assure you that I'll reply».
They exchanged their respective phone numbers, after that Izo waved at him, entered inside his car and went away.
Marco was now in front of Gojo's house. Otto popped up again and said «Keh Keh, another job in your free day? I can't recognise you master, you seems a real workaholic. Are you sure you are the same lazy master? Keh keh».
«Shut up Otto, that's not funny at all. Damn Nanami... That's just his fault» He grunted.
Gojo opened the door right after Marco knocked «You were waiting for me behind the door or what?» Asked Marco.
The blindfolded sorcerer just smiled at him in a strange way. «What are you thinking?» Said Marco.
«Nothing» Gojo said while jumping left and right like a dumb.
«So» Said Marco right after he entered inside Gojo's house closing the door behind him «What job you were talking about?».
Gojo, after stopping his jumping stuff, said «I just need you to look after a certain person while I'm not here».
Marco had a puzzled face, Gojo noticed this and then said «He is in the basement, just stay with him».
Gojo started to walk towards the basement door along with Marco.
«Basement? Are you started kidnapp--» He stopped when he saw who "he" was.
A pink haired guy was laid on a couch with a cursed doll in his hands. In the meanwhile he was watching some crappy movie.
When he heard the door he just turned arround and watched the two sorcerers, he looked at Marco and said «Oh hey are you the one who--» the doll punched his face and he fell to the ground.
«Gojo» Said Marco looking at the pink haired guy.
«Yes yes I'm Gojo» Said dumbly the blindfolded sorcerer.
«Shouldn't he be dead?».
«Well he technically is».
There was an awkward silence after those words. The pink haired boy, after cursing the doll, regained control over it. He then looked back at them with an innocent smile in his lips.
«So you want me to babysit a living corpse?» Marco broke the silence.
«Yes exactly» Gojo didn't left Marco protest and said «Yuji he is Mako, I need to go somewhere but he will keep you company».
Right before Gojo could exit from the basement Marco grabbed his arm, oh well he tried to grab it but it was blocked by Gojo's Limitless.
«Whaat?» Said Gojo with a dumb smile.
«First of all my name is not Mako. Second today is my day off, I don't want to spend my day with someone who probably freak out in the next hour letting that bastard of Sukuna out. Now if you-».
«Ijichi is waiting for me Mako, look at this situation in a positive way. You can spend the evening watching movies with a friend» He then exited from the door.
«I'M NOT MAKO AND HE ISN'T MY FRIEND» Marco shouted but it was too late.
«Gojo sensei already left» Said Yuji with an innocent tone.
