Chapter 12: Bleeding Hearts

Choso was laying in bed with Yuki. The two were asleep in Choso's room while the sun was approaching fast; trying to wake them up from their slumber. A lot has happened since the other night.

"Brother!" Choso shouted at Yuji right after he was hit by two monsters. One of them is unusually tall while the other is as short as a dwarf. "Yuji, are you okay?" Choso rushed to his brother's aid and held him before he could hit the cold, hard ground. Yuji was caught off guard by the attacks but he quickly recuperated.

"I don't know who they are but they might be the evil organization's minions" with that, Yuji and Choso charged at the foes.

The battle continued between the four. The monsters were irritated that the missions got more complicated. Sukuna ordered Deto, the tall one, and Zano, the short one, to ambush Yuji Itadori when he returned from the Zenin mansion. The intel was provided to them by Noritoshi Kamo; however, the mission got complicated when Choso showed up. Nevertheless, Deto and Zano were ready to annihilate anyone to please their master.

Choso used his blood manipulation while Yuji utilized countless number of techniques he learned at the academy and from Satoru. They almost exhausted their strength from attacking, deflecting, defending, and throwing mass blows. The two brothers were surprised as to how strong the opponents were. They finally understood how dangerous the evil group may be. Unfortunately, Deto and Zano escaped before more reinforcements came to help Choso and Yuji. They were left there, panting and in pain. Unfortunately, Shoko wasn't there to heal them since she and Satoru were away on vacation. However, the good news was, they escaped with minor injuries. The rest of the clans were informed. Naobito Zenin and Megumi Fushigoro along with Yuta Okkotsu, were summoned to the medical center to learn about the situation. They all agreed to hold a proper meeting to discuss what they learned about the group when Satoru returns home.

"I heard what happened. Is Yuji alright?" Yuki asked Choso once he got home. She was in his chamber this time. It was almost midnight by the time Choso and Yuji arrived.

"Yeah, Yuji should be okay. He is resting now" Choso looked a bit sad. He felt guilty for not accompanying him to the Zenin residence. Choso insisted on tagging along but Yuji rejected his offer by stating that he had private matters to attend to.

"I am glad both of you are okay" Yuki approached Choso and hugged him. The two weren't close at all despite being engaged. Yuki wrapped her hand around Choso while he held her. The room was silent besides the crickets outside the window. Choso's room was simple and neat.

"Let's go to sleep. I am tired" he stated before guiding the two of them to his bed. The Kamo residence was mostly modernly decorated thanks to Yuji. Choso had a framed bed instead of a futon, which he never minded. He was happy with whatever his brother chose. Yuki, however, was unaccustomed to framed beds. Her whole house was decorated with traditional Japanese style decor. She didn't complain though. The two laid sideways with Yuki facing her right while Choso facing her back. He placed his head on one of his hands while the other rested on Yuki's body. It was like they were in a cuddling position; without the cuddles. They fell fast asleep.

Yuki woke up first. Sunlight was slowly seeping into the room. Surprisingly, they were in the same position as last night. Yuki turned her head around to look at Choso's face. He opened his eyes as she looked at him.

"Morning sleepyhead" Yuki told him with a grin. Surprising to her, he answered her with a kiss. Soon, the kiss turned into a tongue battle. The two were holding each other's face and hair, trying to kiss passionately. Choso had this urge to pleasure her. He always woke up with a boner just like any typical guy; however, this time, he had Yuki to help with that. He grabbed her boob and started squeezing it.

"Cho-so~" Yuki muttered out. She was getting aroused as well. Choso positioned himself on top of her and the two continued to touch and kiss. Yuki didn't know where this expertise was coming from but she didn't mind it. Choso is a fast learner.

"Ahh, Yuki" Choso said her name in between kisses. He slid his hand from her breast down to her nether. He slipped it inside her nightgown and into her vagina.

"Chosooo!" Yuki moaned out loud in response. Choso loved hearing her voice when she called out his name. It makes him hornier. Choso used his free hand to hold her hair as he lowered his mouth to lick her neck.

The room was overpowered with sounds of moaning and grunts. The maids were preparing breakfasts for their lords and ladies but Choso and Yuki weren't going to come on time-if at all. They continued for a while: Choso fingering her while Yuki moaned in delight. Before she could come, he slid his fingers off and licked the content dry. He then switched to his other hand and used it to enter Yuki. This time, it was a smoother transition than before. Choso was moving inside her in seconds.

"Chosooo Yesss!" Yuki kept repeating while Choso was thrusting deep and hard. The maids probably stopped by the door to listen to their love-making but they didn't care. The two were busy being in euphoria. "Yuki, it feels so good" Choso couldn't get enough of her. Heck, he wanted to do it all day if he could.

The bed was shaking with each thrust Choso made. It was even making sounds but the two didn't care. They were busy with each other's company. Choso was nearing his end but he didn't wish to stop there. "Yuki I am coming!" he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Me too!" Yuki was breathless. Choso felt so good inside her. Her mind was going fuzzy but she kept herself focused on him. "Ah ah ahhhh!" Yuki came at last while Choso released as well. He was panting as his two hands laid next to Yuki's head. They were a mess but full of delight.

"Yuki" Choso said her name in a lowered voice. He wanted to continue fucking her; he came too soon. Yuki knew what he wanted and she shared the same thought. She wanted him to pound her further. "Y-yes Choso. I am all yours" they felt a sudden rush to their hearts. The two couldn't let go of one another. Choso lowered his body to kiss her once again and the two slid on the bed. Yuki was laying on top of Choso now; his dick was still inside her.

"Uh-h" Yuki moaned aloud as she felt his penis rising once more. It filled her up completely. Choso watched her flushed face and was impatient with their slow start. He grabbed one of her breasts with one hand while the other held her waist. "Ch-Choso" Yuki was trying to move her hips but she couldn't focus. Her mind was all over the place. Nevertheless, Choso guided her movements as he used his body to thrust in her. Yuki was riding him in the air; she was holding on to his chest as their bodies moved. It was getting faster and more intense.

"Ahh-ahh" Yuki kept moaning in pleasure. She tried holding on to him but they were moving at a fast speed. Everything around her looked blurry because her eyes were filled with tears of joy. She wanted to feel this feeling forever. "Choso!" the two came.

"Yuki, hah" they were panting heavily. Unfortunately, Choso wanted to last longer. He felt that he came too soon. He rose up to kiss her more despite both being breathless. Choso rubbed Yuki's ass while she ran her hands through his hair. Their bodies were colliding; Yuki felt Choso's penis rubbing against her nether. Both were high with arousal. "Let's go again" Choso told her and Yuki nodded.

Choso slipped his dick inside Yuki again and she wrapped her legs around his waist. Yuki was practically sitting on him as Choso hammered her. He was continuously pounding her without missing a beat. "Faster!" Yuki shouted, "Choso please mess me up, ahhh!".

"Yuki! Yuki!" Choso was yelling out her name in response. The bed kept squealing as Choso pounded harder. Their whole bodies were shaking; their foreheads were sweaty. "Hah hah" Choso was panting and grunting while Yuki was moaning his name. She wrapped her legs tighter, taking him even more. Yuki was surprised at how deep he could go. So big. She thought. He can completely rearrange my insides.

The two were ready to release for the third time. "Choso, let's come together!" Yuki stated as they both finished. They felt relief.

The two rested for a bit, looking at each other. No one really said a word while they tried catching their breath. Yuki felt a little disappointed. She was hoping the whole time that Choso would say, "I love you". Of course that was too sudden; Yuki knew that. However, she wanted to know if anything changed. If Choso was developing feelings for her. Before she could ask though, Choso got up to dress.

"Let's go get some breakfast. We need to check on Yuji" with that, the two pulled on their clothes, used the restrooms, and headed to the breakfast table.

Satoru came to pick Shoko up for their vacation. Usually, he takes everyone to his summer estate during the summer for a trip. However, he and Shoko were going to vacate there during late autumn. He hoped she would like the stay even though it wasn't summer.

"Master Satoru. Come in! Come in! Please come in!" Shoko's mom was delighted to see her future son-in-law. Her father also went to the door to greet Satoru and invite him into their home.

"Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay long" Satoru told her parents. He was guided to the dining table where fresh green tea waited. The aroma was filling the room. Satoru looked around the place; but, mostly for Shoko. He loved her parents. Anytime Satoru visited, they were super polite; maybe too polite. They provided him with fresh tea, fruits, and biscuits. He can't count how many times he ate dinner there; not to mention unusual pop-ins for lunch or breakfast. Satoru was practically family.

"How is everyone at the Gojo residence? Is Master Yuta doing okay?" Shoko's parents asked as they handed out biscuits to Satoru. He was trying to politely decline; afterall, they had to be on their way.

"Yes, everyone is fine" Satoru replied, popping a biscuit in his mouth. "Mmm, these are delicious!" he pointed out.

They handed him more snacks while they conversated. Shoko's parents pointed out how happy they are that Satoru chose to marry their daughter. Overall, they discussed a bit about the wedding and what's to come next. Shoko finally popped in. As much as he liked talking to her parents, Satoru wanted to hang with Shoko. He felt relief when he saw her.

"Yo, Satoru" Shoko called out. She was her usual self. Despite the awkward kiss between them from last time, Shoko was back to her friendly self. Something Satoru appreciated very much.

"Shoko!" Shoko's mother seemed angry at her. "Please address Master Satoru politely".

"No, no. It's alright!" Satoru waved his hand frantically. He hates all the honorifics that everyone uses to address him. Hearing Shoko greet him normally felt personal.

"Well, I am ready. Can we go?" Shoko asked. She revealed a small suitcase behind her. Shoko was wearing a kimono. She wanted to wear more comfortable clothes but her mother insisted on beautiful garments. The suitcase was filled with unusual attire that Shoko hated wearing. Satoru, on the other hand, wore a kimono as well. He wore a yukata even when it was chilly because he liked exposing skin. However, even he knew he had to be presentable in front of his parents-in-law. He wore black shades instead of his usual mask.

"Yes, we shall" Satoru rose from his chair; Shoko's parents did the same. They walked to the door to wave them goodbye. Shoko's mother whispered some stuff to Shoko but she rolled her eyes. She knew her mother was trying to give her tips about sleeping together but she heavily doubted that Satoru and her would have sex. The idea was funny.

"Bye dad! Bye mom!" Shoko waved as the carriage shut its door. It started making its journey towards the mountains.

"So, what are we doing today?" Satoru was sitting across Shoko. Instead of sitting next to each other like how a husband and a wife would, they each occupied their own row.

"You are the one who invited me, dummy. Don't tell me you didn't plan shit" Shoko made an annoyed expression.

"Things never go the way you want it to so why should I? Dummy" Satoru smirked at her.

"Okay well, I am napping as soon as we get there" Shoko started yawning, "how long is this ride? Work has me beat".

"Two hours at least. You sure you don't want to hear my awesome stories? My voice is soothing" Satoru told her.

"It's definitely making me sleepy…" Shoko's voice got lower and lower. Soon, she drifted off to sleep.

Satoru looked at his best friend. Her face was serene; it was beautiful. Satoru wondered how they went through so many years without any romantic contact. Sure, she was his type. However, Shoko and Satoru had something special; something much stronger than any typical best friend or romantic partners. They shared the bond of losing precious friends. Originally, there were six of them: Suguru, Satoru, Shoko, Ijichi, Nanami, and Haibara. They ended up losing three of them. Sure, Ijichi and some other friends were still alive, thankfully. But, losing people like Geto and Nanami was a huge blow. Not to mention their own principal: Yaga. Shoko and Satoru never had the time or energy to focus on love when grief was all that was presented to them. However, the war is over now. They can finally focus on themselves and their personal life. But, how long will the peace last?

"Mmh" Shoko muttered something unconsciously. Her head was leaning against the carriage window; probably painfully. Satoru moved to her side of the carriage and sat beside her. He slowly grabbed her chin to guide it to his shoulder. Shoko gently placed her head on it. Instantly, Satoru felt a ping to his heart. Shoko laid her head on Satoru's shoulder many times before; they were used to each other's company. However, this time it felt different. Satoru was filled with a comforting feeling.

"Haha, I can throw it better. Look!" Shoko said. She threw a small pebble and it skidded across the ocean. The waves were hitting Satoru and Shoko's feet. It felt cold but they were having too much fun to complain.

"No, no. No one can beat the Satoru Gojo" with that, he threw multiple pebbles at the same time and they all skidded further than Shoko's, creating ripples all over the ocean.

"Show off!" Shoko exclaimed. They were both laughing and splashing each other with the water. It was too cold to swim so they decided to walk on the surface.

It was dark outside, almost ten at night. When they arrived at the summer estate, Shoko and Satoru immediately began cleaning the place. Usually, the maid and servants would do that job but Satoru decided to call-in at the last minute. It would take a few days for the workers to polish the dusty mansion but Satoru didn't wish to postpone the trip to another week. Frankly, he just wished to spend time with his future wife. Shoko didn't mind the mess, however. The two began cleaning upon arrival and were enjoying the activity. Shoko was used to cleaning the medical center as well as helping her parents with chores. Satoru, on the other hand, despite never having to clean a thing, was good at everything so the two challenged one another at the task. As usual, Satoru won the bet. They then cooked their meals, played board games, drank alcohol, and talked the time away. It was getting dark; so, they decided to walk on the beach.

"It's almost ten. I am tired as fuck" Shoko began walking towards the house.

"Wait up!" Satoru called out as he jogged to stand beside her. "What are we doing next?" he asked.

"I am tired for the day. You can do whatever" Shoko waved him off. She just wanted to lay down. They headed inside.

Satoru went to the kitchen to grab a drink while Shoko went upstairs to change into her night kimono. It was a soft pink linen robe. She came downstairs and headed to the living room. They hadn't discussed who was sleeping where so Shoko waited for Satoru to tell her. She felt tired, however. Shoko laid herself down on the sofa, making sure to place a sofa pillow underneath her head while also grabbing a throw to cover herself. She felt tucked in. Honestly, I don't even mind sleeping here. Everything in this place is fancy as fuck. I could get used to coming here all the time when I am stressed from work. I should have come here when Satoru used to invite me. Shoko thought to herself. Usually, she missed out on all of the summer trips Satoru planned at his estate. He would invite his students and friends but Shoko had to miss out due to work.

"You are not sleeping in the bedroom?" Satoru approached her. He was wearing a similar linen nightgown as Shoko but it was black. "Or are you too tired to move, stupid?" He sat beside her, pouring himself a glass of water from the jug on the coffee table.

"You always have a foul mouth. This is why your personality sucks" Shoko teased him. She giggled as he stuck his tongue out at her; he was no longer covering his eyes. Satoru was about to drink his water from the glass before Shoko took it from him and gulped the content down. She went back to her sleeping position and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

"And you are always rude!" Satoru annoyingly poured another glass of water.

"Zzzz" Shoko made snoring sounds, forming her mouth into a sly grin. She loved annoying him and he did the same. Satoru finished his water and grabbed her blanket. He then laid down behind her. The two were tightly packed on the narrow sofa.

"It's not gonna fit the both of us, doofus!" Shoko stated with irritation. She didn't realize how close they were. Satoru was pretty much spooning her. "Get your own sofa to lay down".

"Nah, I like this sofa" Satoru held her tightly. Shoko faced forward, heat rushing to her face. She tried hiding it from him.

"Do you miss him?" Shoko asked her best friend. Satoru had his face buried in her hair. He was smelling her shampoo.

"Every single day. All of them" Satoru gave the same answer. They were always talking about the same subject; the same people.

"It's not your fault. You tried to stop your best friend. I am sure he is grateful" Shoko played with Satoru's hand that was hugging her.

"Yeah" Satoru always dismissed the conversation with that word. Shoko knew he wanted to change the subject. She felt guilty for bringing it up but what else would they talk about?

"It always rains when I am with you" Satoru raised his head to look out the window next to them. It was falling hard, representing their sorrow.

"Yeah" it was Shoko's turn to dismiss the discussion.

With that, the two laid still. The rain was pounding on the window while the clock in the room just ticked away. Who knows how long they have been there; eyes wide open but mouths shut closed. Soon, one fell asleep and the other followed suit.

The thrown vase clashed against the wall. Several pieces of furniture were turned over in Yuta's bedroom. His fists were clenched tightly, blood rushing to his veins. Yuta was angry; so angry.

"How the hell did this happen?!" He screamed in his chamber. No matter what he did, Maki was moving further and further away from him. He was in the worst kind of situation. No matter what I do, I keep getting tangled into the clans' affairs, having to drift away from her!

Yuta had his hand on his face. One of his eyes was poking out from his fingers. It looked dead; filled with anger, worry, sadness, and pain. He was jealous of Muta but Yuta knew better than that. He wasn't going to start a fight with him. He wondered why Muta was willing to hurt Miwa, didn't he love her? Even if Yuta was going to storm over to the Zenin clan and start physical altercations, Miwa and Maki would disapprove. However, he can't stand seeing Maki with another man. The pain was too much to bear.

"God dammit! Dammit it all!" Yuta kicked a fallen chair. He was fed up with the evil organization and its problematic existence. He was trapped as the head of the Gojo clan. It's not like Yuta and Maki could run away. Maki would never want that and the group's presence was making it more and more difficult for Yuta to focus on anything else.

Chilly winds swept into Yuta's chamber, blowing the curtains into the air. However, he didn't flinch a bit. Yuta was fixated on his thoughts. No matter what happens, he decided he was going to make Maki his…
