Chapter 14
Xing had to grin and bare it all.
On the train he endured this idiot's rambling of his idol, as well as running down proper etiquettes when it comes to meeting Miss. Takada-chan in person, rule of engagement and so on.
He was sick of this day already. 'Does this idiot ever shut up?' he thought.
"Okay brother, let's go over everything I said!"
'Oh God…' Xing thought, he wasn't paying attention to ANY of it!
"Hey, so you're going too huh?"
His blood ran cold as he turned. Six Eyes took a seat next to him, wearing the same outfit they were! "What… the… hell…" were the only words Xing could muster.
"Gojo sensei! Glad you could join us!"
"Oh I had to, my Itadori was going to a concert without ME? Unthinkable! Not to mention Takada-chan. You confessed to me you were a fan of hers after the student exchange, remember? When Todo brought up her name and his utter devotion to her. You told me you were SO THRILLED to find another guy who understood how special she was!"
Xing had nothing to go on for this.
There was no lie he could come up with, let alone what to say in response of it all. "So, what do you want to do first? I say we hit up the convention! Let's get brother loaded up on the latest merch!" Todo decreed.
"Hmm, I do agree, but I think we should hit the area where you can reenact your favorite music videos. You always wanted to do that!" Gojo stated.
"Sounds… interesting… You know. I think I rather get something to eat before we make a day of this…" he said offhandedly.
"Ooo, food, great idea brother. Now I suggest this meal plan I made up for the day…" Todo reached into his pocket and took out a sheet of paper. He really did make a meal plan for this event! "Food is great, but you need balance. The last thing you want to do is eat something stinky and offending before meeting Takada-chan. Not to mention this will prevent any upset stomach sensation, bloating or gas that may occur…"
'My God, this guy is insane!' Xing thought as he peered over the menu suggestions. It was every fast food place in the area, with specific items for him to order to prevent any such… instances.
"Ooo, great idea. Did you take into consideration nutrition? After all, we are going a lot of walking" Gojo asked.
"But of course, who do you think I am sensei? This isn't my first rodeo,"
'What I wouldn't do to be killed about now…" Xing began to think. This was getting worst and worst as the days pass. Nearly two weeks of this hell, and he has yet to escape.
But today, will be different.
He has a solid plan, and NO ONE is going to stop him. Not the hairless ape or Six Eyes himself.
#
They finally arrived. The place was full of humans and he could already tell, this will be an easy way for him to escape! One slip through the masses, and he will be home free… now… to find the right opportunity.
"Yuuji!"
"Uh, yes… sensei…" he said in an uncertain tone.
"I think we ought to get some food, come on! You suggested it."
"Oh, yes, good idea…"
He would need something to eat, just enough to get him the hell out of here and away from Six Eyes and the ape he has been stuck with! As they walked to a near by concessions stand. He paused for a moment as he realized the clothing was remarkable. Someone infused curse energy into them, which hid his marks and extra arms. Yet at the same time, he felt there was something more to this.
He snapped out of his train of thought when he was presented with food. "Here you go brother, eat up! You need your strength."
Xing forced a grin as he accepted the food. It appeared to be a light salad, easy on the dressing, no onions or anything that would give one bad breath by the looks of it. But he does admit, he could go for something a lot more filling than a simple salad. He ate in silence, but at the same time took in his surroundings. More and more people were starting to gather here. Most are wearing hot pink which would make blending it a lot more easier. His escape feasible and increasing his odds of success.
He was quick to finish eating before announcing he needed the bathroom. "We'll wait for you right here!" vowed Six Eyes. "Don't go wondering off, we got a BIG DAY!"
A smile was forced as he excused himself for the facilities. The moment he entered the bathroom he let out a deep sigh of discontent. "What the hell is wrong with these people?!" he demanded. "They don't know Sukuna is trying to take over, this boy is suppose to take out Six Eyes and yet… I feel no strength, no power… nothing from this kid! Was he just blowing smoke or something?" he shook his head to it all, but for now, it was time to get the hell out! He slipped out through a window and began to make his break for it. Through the crowd, he kept low and out of sight until he reached the end of the convention grounds. From there he took a deep sigh of relief and began to make is way out. Xing was grinning victoriously as he was half way down the street before figuring he should get some new clothing before going back to Hong Kong.
But, he also remembered everything he learned about this body. He has to keep eating curses to maintain himself and ensure the dragon didn't devour him if not fed enough! Not to mention, break the binding vow Sukuna has casted. It would be a lot of work, but in the end, to get absolute power, it will be worth it!
He kept moving and was making good time. This body was fast, running was a joke as he could run from one side of the city to the other in no time at all. He was midway through before he began to look for the closest airport possible.
He was nearing the city map when suddenly; he swore he heard a clap.
Next thing he knew, he stood at the convention once more, among the Takada-chan fans… and standing next to the gorilla of a sorcerer! "There you are! I knew you wondered off, you should know better brother!"
He froze. "How did…"
"Oh good, you found him again Todo, let's go get our fun on!" Gojo called.
'What the hell did that guy do to bring me all the way back here?!' Xing thought.

"Hehehe…."
"PPPPPFFFFFF! HAHAHAHA!" Suiryu was cackling all day.
He knew sending Satoru was the best idea he had for tormenting this body thief. Not to mention, Gojo would go just for the hell of it all! But as the day progressed, he got picture after picture of the three hanging out and doing things at the convention. They dressed the thief up in various outfits with Takada-chan's face on it. Then they even tried to dance to one of her pop videos. Needless to say how that went when one doesn't give it their all!
Todo kept making him do it again and again until they got it right, when they did. They made a video! Suiryu cackled aloud as he saw the video being shot and Gojo taking picture after picture of everything happening.
"I should have done this first thing when he possessed bro…" Suiryu said with a sigh.
"So… why are we here?"
Suiryu jumped, forgetting he had called over Tanso, Eso and Junpei. "Ah right, I think we are going to be finishing up with this body snatcher soon, so I think for the grand finally, we are just going to straight up mess with him… at the same time make a music video"
The brothers paused. "You… want to make a music video?" asked Eso. "With this asshole that has forcefully possessed our brother?"
"Yep," Suiryu said with a grin. "That is correct."
"I was wondering when we would be able to do something more…" Junpei said with a grin. "I do admit, the flesh ball game idea you had before sounds… disturbing yet at the same time, utterly fascinating."
Tanso nodded in agreement. Eso on the other hand shuttered. "Ever since you brought up the idea, our older brother Noranso has been busy gathering up more and more flesh!"
"Glad to see he is interested in playing…" Suiryu said with a smirk. "Now then, for the song, I think we need one that will fuck with him…"
Junpei nodded. "Something heavy, yet haunting."
"The game…" Eso said. "You remember that song right? That was heavy and yet it also sounds like a good stalking song."
"Yeah, that was from Disturbed's first album." Junpei said.
"Ooo, that is a good one, okay then…"
"Wait, how are you going to freak him out with this?" Eso asked curiously.
"Because, he's making us dress the part…" came the voice of Fushiguro.
Everyone turned, but froze as the students lingered in the doorway. Nobara and Fushiguro were dressed for the occasion in the hallway.
Suiryu on the other hand, had a wicked grin on his face…
