«So...» Said Yuji right after Gojo exited from the basement.
*Beep beep*
"Another message?" Thought Marco. He then looked at his phone, it was Gojo... Again.
Gojo: Don't tell anyone about him, this is our little secret :)
Marco sighed at the sight of that message. «So, what are we going to do? Ehm» Yuji said while walking near him, he wanted to know his name, his real name.
«Just call me Senpai, after all that's what I am» Marco yawned.
He then sit down in the couch, Yuji followed him. Yuji was watching a sort of action movie, movies weren't Marco's cup of tea after all.
Yuji was watching it with interest while he was keeping the doll in his hands. Then he turned his head towards his Senpai. He looked both bored and annoyed.
Yuji wanted to cheer him up, he took a cola can and handed it to him. «Here» he said «I heard from Gojo Sensei that you were in a mission. I'm sure you must be tired».
Yuki smiled while he was handing that cola can, Marco looked back at him. He sighed then took the can «Look, I'm here just because Gojo asked me, I want to spend my day off in peace».
Marco then yawned «I'll just take a nap, if you need anything DON'T ASK».
Yuji said a sad «Okay» then he returned to watch the TV.
Marco closed his eyes, he still had that can in his hands. He sighed «This sofa is uncomfortable» he then opened his eyes «Ugh, fine I won't sleep».
Yuki looked at him «Fine fine tell me what do you want» Marco sighed.
«Mhhh» Yuji put his finger on his chin and then he said «First of all we didn't really had a proper presentation, my name is Yuki Itadori nice to meet you Mako Senpai».
«MY NAME IS NOT MAKO» Marco shouted «My name is Marco, damn Gojo». Yuji laughed at his words.
«Fine fine Marco Senpai, your name is rather strange» then, after few minutes he said «Gojo sensei told me about curse energy and techniques, which are your techniques?»
«I don't have the immense amount of curse energy that Gojo, Yuta or Hakari have» he took a sip of that cola, then he continued «Plus my technique, even if is unique, is not suited for fights, it's more a defensive technique».
Yuki stared at him listening carefully at his words «My technique basically link two different places in this dimension or other dimensions, it's a sort of technique that allow me to create teleport portals».
«Wow» said Yuji with an excited tone «So you can teleport yourself from a place to another one even if those places are far away?».
«Actually no» Yawned Marco «The bigger the portal is, the bigger the consume of energy is. As I told you my energy pool is not big at all, actually is even lower than an average Japanese sorcerer, that's because in my home place both curses and sorcerers are less strong and less common».
He stopped, watched the can and then he said «I can't create a portal capable to link two places that are distant long enough to go through it. I use my ability in a different way, I tamed several curses thanks to binding vows, they all live in a distinct dimension from the real world, I just create a portal between the real world and the dimension and use them during the fights. That's all».
«I see» Yuji looked at him with a serious face «I don't get it».
«The only thing that I understand is that you are not Japanese»
«Exatcly» Said Marco with an annoyed tone, he didn't really want to repeat that explanation once again.
«Then why are you here?».
«For the same reason of yours, I'm a student at the Curse metropolitan college of Tokyo, just like you».
«Soo you really are my Senpai» Yuji was strangely happy.
«I told you that» Said Marco clearly irritated.
«Why did you choose to be a Sorcerer then? And why you came here in Japan?» Asked Yuji
«Okay for the second question, In my native country curses are not as common as here, I don't know why. There is no need there for create a school and teach Jujutsu techniques. There are only few old secrets passed by master to pupil but back then I was the only one able to use curse energy in my city. That's why I'm here. For the first one well... I'm just like you» Yuki looked at him with s puzzled expression.
«Let's say I was forced by Gojo to be part of this "jujutsu world". If it wasn't for him I'm sure I would never have been here. You are the same as me no? Forced by Gojo to play the Sorcerer while you still can».
«Well let's say you are right Senpai» Yuji lowered his head. Then Otto popped out and sit down on Marco's shoulder.
«Master, he should be dead keh keh. Why are you talking to this little brat?».
Marco ignored him while Yuji was looking at him with curiosity «Wow you are really cute» Then he looked at Marco and said «Senpai, is this what you were talking about with taming curses!?».
Marco nodded while Yuji started to touch the little curse «Stop it or I'll cut your hand» said Otto.
«Oh come on, I'm doing nothing bad» Yuki laugh. He lost control over the doll (once again) and he got punched (once again.
Otto watched him with joy in his eyes «See? Seems like this brat can't really control the curse energy Keh keh».
«Hey who did you called brat? Say that again and I'll exorcise you» Yuji said.
«You are pretty talkative for being a corpse Keh Keh».
They continued in this way for at least five minutes, then Marco rised his voice and said «STOP BOTH OF YOU».
They stopped. «Otto, come here» Marco created a new portal, Otto jumped inside letting out one last laugh.
Yuki sighed «Sorry for this Senpai».
"Now is your turn Yuji" Marco thought.
«And now you Yuji, you need to concentrate more on your training, if Gojo discover that you haven't made any progresses he will start to annoy me more because of you».
«But I have everything under control, see? I have the doll under control» Said Yuji.
«I don't think I told you why I chosed to be a Sorcerer» Yuji said while watching the TV «Yeah i was kinda forced by Gojo Sensei but... I want to help people. I want to be useful and help as many people I can before my death. I highly value the meaning of death, if I help people and in the meantime I give them a proper death I won't die alone...» His hands started to tremble «I promised him».
«Mh? Him? Are you talking about some relative of yours?».
«Yeah, my grandpa actually» Yuki smiled sadly at his Senpai.
«Well your is a dumb reason but at least you are honest with yourself» Said Marco «You are not trying to help people because they need them, but just because this will make you feel better with yourself».
«That's not true at all!» Shouted Yuji.
Marco turned his head towards the TV, he didn't replied at his shout he just whispered «Yeah whatever» but Yuji couldn't hear that.
«Sorry for rising my voice»
«No need to say sorry anytime you feel to say it. Any other questions? If the answer is no then I'll try to sleep».
«Actually I wanted to ask you about your family, I did the same while I was talking about my grandpa after all».
«Bold on yo assume that their are still alive» Marco smirked.
«Oh I'm sorr-» Yuji was interrupted by his Senpai.
«My father is an asshole, I never had the chance to know stepmother better and my stepsister was too young when I left my hometown to came here».
Yuji listened to him, everything was okay but he didn't mentioned his mother. «Amd your mother? Is she still alive? Or well... Dead?»
While Yuji was talking, Marco's head filled with some past memories. Some phrases about his mother popped up in his mind.
«My son, I'll never let you go, we will live together... Forever»
There was only a word that he was able to think, one word to describe what he feel towards his mother.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes started to become red, all the veins were visible. That word was:
«Disgusting»
