Chapter 11

With her punishment to be dealt, Gojo felt it was best for Mei Mei to stay at the school for the time being. Yet all the while he kept trying to get her to perhaps take back her previous punishment and go with the money loss. He spent nearly the whole week trying to talk some sense into her, yet found his words were being ignored. "Seriously, after what Suiryu just said to you…"

"He told me to put on weight, that asshole has no idea who he is dealing with does he?"

Gojo merely smirked. "Oh, he has a very good idea. I think it's you who has no idea. You see…"

"I don't care, look, I admit, it was a stupid mistake on my part, I should I thought through this a little better. But be that as it may, I am not going to lose everything I have earned because of some little bastard" she stated.

Gojo cringed. "Ooo, I really hope she didn't hear that…"

"She?" demanded Mei Mei, but then paused. "Wait, you know who…"

"Sort of?" he said offhandedly. "Look, let me just say this to you. This being is powerful, so powerful in fact. I cannot even sense her. She altars the energy all around her… it affects half of Japan when she makes an appearance. I also can't see who she really is despite my abilities. Choso was able to speak a little about her to me, so I wouldn't be caught off guard. ALSO, no one can recall what she looks like, but are aware of her and know OF her…" he stated. "Even now, you know of her. But tell me what she looked like."

Mei Mei glared at him, she was about to speak until her mind went blank. No words came out of her, not a single thought or idea as to what this woman who threatened her looked like! "Impossible…"

"No… it's possible, it's just that… she's that powerful. So, as I said before, really reconsider your options. Because if you don't, you are asking for a death sentence here, and what Suiryu said to you to put on weight, wasn't meaning to be insulting, it was to save your life."

She blew off the warning still. "Enough of this Gojo, it's nothing I can't handle" she protested.

"Oh… I beg to differ…"

"Really? She has to feed Yuuji?" asked Mika.

The room shuttered a little, as Suiryu explained the situation. "I did give her a fair warning and tried to help her, she slapped me for it. So from this point on, no one say a word to her," he ordered.

The curse wombs agreed full heartedly. "Of course, not a word" vowed Choso, as a small grin came over his lips. "I do hope she pays for causing little brother such hardships…"

Junpei on the other hand looked a little worried. "So… you have an idea as to what will happen to her, don't you?" he asked.

Suiryu smirked, then his look became rather devious. "Yuuji will kill her," he said in a matter of fact tone. "She has no idea how much he need to live, let alone sustain himself. Let's take into factor before Kitsune was feeding him three times a day… and that stuff did shit for him. It was merely to fill him up. Now, ever since he has been feed… naturally… the calories he takes in have at least tripled. Since he is gaining it from the source."

"Who the hell is feeding him now?" demanded Nobara. "You speak of them, but none of us have ever…"

"It's because we can't," said Choso. "Those who have encountered the great lady, can speak of her a little. But we cannot tell you what she looks like, most of the time we forget who she is until she appears before us again. But all I know is this, she tends to little brother and cares for him as if he were her own. I wouldn't dare upset her or wish to anger this woman."

"What he said," said Suiryu. "Not even I would be willing to make her angry"

This, startled the room.

There normally isn't a person in this world that Suiryu wouldn't hesitate to stand up to let alone piss off, yet the mere mention of this mysterious woman, he refuses to even entertain the notion of upsetting her! "Seriously?" Megumi asked. "So, she's more powerful than you?"

Suiryu smirked as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I have heard her state, Sukuna is nothing more than a infant having a temper tantrum." He explained. "So, with that in mind, and everyone knowing how powerful that bastard was, let me ask this, anyone here willing to piss off someone like that?"

No one said a word. "Benito flakes" muttered Inumaki.

"My words exactly" Suiryu snickered. "So, here's hoping that bitch of a sorcerer realizing how endangered her life is, and how quickly it will come to an end if she doesn't wise up!"

"So… it happens tomorrow huh?" asked Nobara.

Suiryu nodded. "Yep, I wonder if she has smartened up?"

Monday.

The day was rather settled for the most part. Yuuji was being played with by the brothers in the courtyard before the dorms, Choso of course was looking over his little sibling when suddenly. The call went out.

"Umph! Umph! Umph!"

"Oh, hungry little brother? It is about time you are fed huh?" he said gently.

Suiryu was quick to appear. "Oh? Did I hear right? Someone's tummy clock went off?" he snickered.

Choso nodded as he passed Yuuji to him. "Indeed, is the sorceress ready?" he asked.

Suiryu smirked. "What do you think?"

"Ah, very well then, let's get this over with…" He paused as he turned to the brothers. "If you don't mind…" he began to ask.

"We got it, we will have everything ready." Sho stated proudly.

They walked to the center of the school. There, Mei Mei sat rather contently with a bunch of dead beasts behind her. She looked to the pile and nodded her approval. When her eyes came upon Suiryu and Choso she smirked to them. "There, I hunted all morning and got more than enough for him to eat! So get off my case already" she demanded.

Suiryu stared at the pile. "Yeah… what the hell is he going to do with those?" he demanded. "He has no teeth"

"Puree it or something!" she snapped back. "I provided food for him, my punishment is over. I fed him!"

"Actually, the punishment is to feed him, but he has yet to obtain any sort of sustenance." Choso explained. He took Yuuji from Suiryu and placed him on the ground. Yuuji stared at the pile of dead animals before turning his nose up at them. "See, he is not satisfied, you are to feed him until he is."

Mei Mei sneered. "What does he eat then!" she demanded.

"Breast milk" Suiryu started. "He needs to feed from you… so… lower your strap!" he said and picked Yuuji from the ground. "Just a words of warning, he's going to suck the life out of you."

"Umph! Umph!" Yuuji cried as he began to reach for Mei Mei.

She was suddenly frozen stiff, her arms crossed over her chest as she protected her front. "Wait, what? You expect me to…"

"You picked it, didn't you?" Suiryu snapped back. "Now, lower your strap"

"Fuck you!" she snapped back.

Suddenly, the clouds darkened, Yuuji was on the cusp of tears when he suddenly cried aloud in hunger! The world became rather dark, Suiryu and Choso were stunned since they have never seen something like this before…

"You won't feed him?"

The voice sent a chill down everyone's spine. Mei-Mei turned to see the robust woman once more. "I… I didn't think feeding him meant…"

"Oh, it did, I assure you. But the fault of this choice rests solely on you…"

"Great lady, I know she won't fulfill her punishment. I also know my little brother would not wish her death for such a mistake, is there another option?" Choso asked. "She still must be punished for her misdeeds…"

The large woman thought it over. "I agree, Yuuji wouldn't want to wish harm on one for a foolish error… instead… I do believe there is another punishment we could put upon her."

"Actually, I do have one." Suiryu said as his evil smile grew. "In fact, I think it would be more than fitting. Mei Mei should understand the troubles we go through for this. Perhaps… she has to endure the same thing we do."

There was confusion, even Choso didn't know where he was going with this, until he approached the great one, she leaned down as he whispered into her ear. She appeared rather surprised but nodded in agreement. "I think that is more than fair," she decreed. "Sorceress Mei Mei… for the next month, there is a bounty placed on the head of your younger brother… I suggest you protect him well…"

She turned white in the face. "What… No… no not my brother! Ui Ui had nothing to do with this!" she protested.

"No, he didn't and yet for one who won't take her own punishment seriously well…" Suiryu said offhandedly. "It only makes sense and makes it fair to us that you know what we are going through."

"You… You sick son of a bitch!" she shouted. "How dare you use my brother like this!"

Suiryu was quick to pass Yuuji to Choso once more, he stepped back as Suiryu began to show this woman who was in control of this conversation. "How… dare… I?" he asked of her slowly. But then, he snickered. "You have the gull to say that to me… after you kidnapped my brother, and was going to give him off to a group you have NO IDEA about for the sake of money?" he asked of her as his voice went a little sinister. "You did NOT just say that to me." He stated.

Her glare didn't lower. "I'll make you pay for this, you are nothing more than a clone of that damn curse! What gives you the right to claim you know what's best here!"

"Excuse me…" the great lady said gently. The conversation came to a stop as she glared down at Mei Mei. "He isn't the one punishing you, I am. So, direct your comments to me if you have an issue with the penalty. Or, I will gladly take it back if you surrender your wealth or… feed my son." she said. Despite how gentle her voice was, the weight behind them could be felt by all three.

"Umph!" Yuuji cried out once more.

"I don't think she would be enough to feed him, Great one, may we…"

She nodded, her glare however turned back to Mei Mei. "You have until I finish feeding my son to decide on your punishment. It is now down to this, protect your brother for a month with a bounty on his head or pay."

Choso escorted her back to the dorms. Suiryu promised to keep a close eye on her until the decision was made…
