Chapter 13

Time would pass since Yuuji's check up with everyone. But at the same time, there was a little concern among Itadori's friends.

They needed more tormenting ideas!

"We need something else… something more… sinister to have this thief endure…"

It was a brief meeting of the minds later that night. They were slowing running out of ideas, but at the same time, they wanted to keep their best plans for later. Suiryu was calling for inspiration and other methods of torment for the body snatcher. But then, one came to mind. "Oh… oh this is good… this is very good…" he said.

"What?" Fushiguro asked aloud.

"I think I found the perfect instrument of torture…" he paused and went on his phone before smiling. "Yes, this is perfect…"

"Are you going to fill us in? We want to know what you are going to do to him," Gojo asked with a grin of his own.

Suiryu however kept silent. "Ah, I need to make arrangements first… you'll know by tomorrow…" He was quick to leave the room and make a call.

"Suiryu darling!"

"D'angelo, I have a favor to ask, and I don't know if you could pull this off for me…"

A disappointed huff was heard. "Are you underestimating me?!" he demanded. "Darling, within reason. I can get you anything… ANYTHING!" he proudly stated.

A grin followed. "Very well then. I need this…"

Xing barely sleeps anymore.

He was wide-awake early morning, waiting for Suiryu to rush into his room and launch him into the ceiling. He's done that every day ever since he came into this body. The ceiling itself is cracking, the next time he does this, he is going through the roof, and he knows it!

Yet by three in the morning, the tiredness got the better of him. His eyes grew too heavy to resist as he finally fell asleep.

For a moment, it was rather blissful, yet his dreams were becoming rather haunting. He saw the demon vessel, staring at him with anger and vengeance. But he said nothing. He merely glared at him. It was a look that could make a man's blood run cold, perhaps he gained that look from Sukuna himself! Yet still, each night. He saw this boy glaring at him, as if he were waiting for something.

Yet, despite the odd dream, he never thought much of it.

When he did wake though, he found himself being stared down upon by a massive, hairless gorilla!

"BROTHER!" he said with great cheer and the biggest smile on his face.

Xing fell out of the bed. "Damn it!" he protested. "Who the hell… I mean… sorry, I hit my head… I don't quite…"

"Suiryu explained everything to me, that's fine. I am here to help you remember! Big Brother Todo will make sure of it! Quick, put this on!"

He was tossed an odd outfit, but then stared at this hairless ape before him. He wore the brightest pink shirt and leggings ever, with the Japanese idol Takada-chan as a chibi character on it. His leggings were bright, hot pink too with her face going down the side of his pant leg.

"Uh… what is this?"

"We're going to see Takada-chan together! Suiryu got us all day, backstage, front row, VIP access! He told me how much you were an in the closet fan of hers… I knew it the moment I met you… you were…" he said in a very determined tone. "So, I made these last night the moment he told me he got tickets. One for you, one for me!"

Xing froze realizing the outfit he was given, was just like the big ape's! "Uh… thanks, but I rather go…"

"We're going as twins! Your big brother looks out for the younger one. So hurry it up and get it on, or we will be late!"

"Uh…"

"Suiryu said if you don't go to this, then he will just train with you all day today… he seemed rather serious too, something about a domain expansion lesson training…"

Domain expansion…

Xing froze to the notion, he has read all about Sukuna's domain, and the fact if you die in it, you are merely feeding him your power.

Still, it was a difficult choice for him. Between wearing something and being with someone just as embarrassing… or training with a homicidal maniac who is determined to uphold the binding vow they are under…

It was a tough call.

But in the end, he swallowed his pride and opted to go with the hairless ape… who he later learned was named Aoi Todo.

As he was left alone to dress, an idea came over him. "That fool is too blinded by this idol… I could lose him in a crowd easily… this is my chance to escape!" Xing thought and then smiled wickedly. "I'll get the hell out of here… then… I will be free of this hellhole…" he muttered.

He finished putting the clothing on, and felt like a fool. "I look like a dork…" he mumbled. "A very pink dork…"

Despite the appearance, it was his ticket to escape. Even if he wore hot pink all the way back to Hong Kong, as long as he got out of there, it wouldn't matter. For now, he will indulge this ape and lose him in the crowd the moment he gets a chance!

He dressed quickly, the moment he opened the door to leave the room. Todo grabbed hold of him. "Come brother, it doesn't open for another four hours, we got to get there early!"

"Four hours?!"

CLAP

He was suddenly standing on the train platform!

"This… this is too much," said Nobara.

"I have to agree, this is beyond cruel…" chimed Megumi.

Suiryu however was grinning from ear to ear. D'angelo came through and managed to pull some strings. He knew a few close assistance to Takada-chan, when he mentioned they were for Suiryu's brother, they pulled out all the stops. VIP access not given to normal civilians to say the least, meet and greet and other various perks were thrown in. It was a perfect way to ensure this body snatcher suffers.

"Still, why bring Todo into this?" Megumi asked.

Suiryu smirked. "I brought him up to speed on it all. So he knows it's not Yuuji he is dealing with. However, at the same time, I told him to go all out and show him as if he were Yuuji as to how to enjoy a Takada-chan VIP experience. Knowing him, as a fan there are proper manners to follow… and I am certain he will brief him on them all when they leave by train…"

"What if he tries to escape?" asked Nobara. "He could easily be lost in the crowd…"

"That's why I had him make their uniforms. I added a little something in the material for such a thing…" Suiryu said as his wicked smile grew. "Essentially, Todo just has to clap his hands, the moment he does. He can either bring himself to the thief, or vise versa. I even gave the material a little boost. This guy could be half way to Hong Kong and Todo will catch up to him instantly with his curse ability… he won't be going anywhere"

"That… is evil… pure… Sukuna grade evil…" whispered Megumi. "Not being able to escape Todo at his favorite idol's meet and greet…"

"Don't forget concert… there's a three hour concert to go to after all this." Suiryu warned. "But as they wait, there's a WHOLE convention for them to attend to before the concert!" his smile only grew. "Oh… and one other surprise as well… I send them another friend to hang out with them!"

"This is malicious" Nobara stated.

Suiryu smiled wickedly. "Now… we wait for the pictures to come in the moment they arrive…"
