Chapter 16

"What on earth happened to you brother?"

He was on the train to his Takada-Chan meet and greet. Yet he never expected to be spending time with Itadori this way. He was so small and appeared rather helpless and yet, he could see his brother was still in there. He had him wrapped up in a strange black blanket, the moment it comes around him, his odd wings vanish. His little extra arms disappear and he sounds like a baby when he giggles. He has never seen material likes this, but also wondered what it was. There was no curse energy in it, and yet it was able to make his brother look like a normal infant.

Either way, one of his dreams is coming true, he gets to spend a day with his brother and they are going to see Takada-chan together! "Granted, I would have liked it better if you were you. But I won't be picky." He snickered.

The train ride was rather quiet, yet Todo noticed the looks he was getting from some rather young and attractive ladies. "Oh, what a sweetie!" one cooed.

"He's not so bad himself, you don't see many guys out now days willing to look after an infant on their own." Said another.

He started to notice the looks around him, Todo began to feel a little proud. 'Yeah, this is right' he thought to himself. Peering down, he decided to put on a show for the ladies around him. He did baby talk to Yuuji and even blew raspberries on his belly. His laughter filled the whole train cart as the women awed and cooed over their antics.

When the train came to a stop, some even dared to offer Todo their number!

"Wow… you are the ultimate brother and wing man!" But now wasn't the time to dwell on it. Takada-chan is waiting for him!

#

He was walking about, waiting for his VIP meeting when women stopped and stared at him. He kept Yuuji over his left shoulder and strapped to his chest. He slept very soundly against him and was rather complacent. "I guess this isn't so bad…" Todo muttered.

His watch went off.

"Ooo can't leave Takada-chan waiting!"

He got in line for his VIP session; he was keen to get his turn. People were talking aloud and giggling to how excited they were. Then Yuuji began to act up. He was fussy. Perhaps too much noise? He took him out of the sling and tried to comfort him. "Hey, little bro, it's okay, it won't be noisy much longer… hang in there for big brother…"

Yuuji appeared to be on the brink of tears. "Next!"

"Oh, that's us, come on, just a quick hello and I'll take you somewhere nice and quite…" he said gently.

Unaware he wondered up to the table in that time, saying such a sweet thing to Yuuji.

"AAWWW! What a cutie!"

He froze to her sweet voice. Peering over he saw a love struck Takada-chan. She could hardly contain herself as she cooed over baby Yuuji. "Can… can I hold him?" she asked gently.

His heart fluttered. "Yes, but not too long, he's a little fussy, the noise here isn't suiting him very well…"

"Oh, I'm about to take a break, why don't you and your little brother join me?"

His body froze. His heart racing in his chest as he swore, the world itself stopped for him as he couldn't quite process the request. Is she offering him the keys to heaven? Join her? NO ONE ever joins her for her breaks! 'Keep it together Todo!" he scolded himself. Somehow he was more functional than usual at these events. Perhaps it's because he is also tasked in protecting his little brother, he's determined and focused to do so!

He would have also slapped his own face but knew it would make a scene. "We would be delighted to, thank you." He finally said aloud. Yet couldn't quite tame his love tone voice.

She smiled and led him to her room. It was a nice spacious green room and was quick to silence the outside world. Yuuji instantly settled one more, but he did wake up. His eyes peered about the room until they came upon Takada-chan.

'Please don't cry, please don't cry, please don't cry' Todo thought over and over again in his mind.

Thankfully a giggle came out of him. "Oh, you are TOO CUTE!" she cooed. "So this is your little brother?" she asked.

"I consider him to be," Todo explained. "I am just babysitting him right now, but I consider him family. I would die for him,"

She was taken aback by his words but smiled anyways. "What a sweet thing to say, you are a lucky little boy…" she said in a playful tone. "But he look familiar…"

"Hm?"

"Yeah, he almost has that look of that rock star… Ryomen Sukuna." She said offhandedly, but then a sigh came over her. "I really want to work with him."

"Huh? Are you… a fan of his?" he asked curiously.

Takada-chan placed a finger to her lips. "Shhh, don't tell anyone that." she whispered. "But yes, I am. Ever since I saw the rock opera… my God what a range he has, not to mention the music… I felt every word. But now when I see his band, they play heavy music but at the same time, there's such passion behind it. I've been asking my manager to make arrangements, but he said he couldn't get through to Sukuna's manager… I don't think he's even trying," she muttered. "I would give anything to just ask him if he is interested in doing a collaboration or something…"

"They don't want you to associate with a 'bad boy' in a sense?"

She nodded. "Pop star… rock demon… they don't quite go together now do they? But still, I think we could make a great video together. His baritone voice, my cute voice… a good clash but at the same time, we can make something special… if I could just talk to him…"

Todo was sweating now. He could make something happen for his idol, at the same time it could all blow up in his face. "Mind if I make a call?" he asked. "Just for a moment?"

She nodded.

Todo left the room and called Suiryu. "Yo"

"Suiryu… I got a favor to ask…"

A pause came over the phone. "Do you have Yuuji?" he demanded. "Choso called me and said you did."

"He's in the arms of an angel right now," Todo said and peered back into the room. "But listen, I am at my VIP session with Takada-chan… she wants to do a music video with you. I was wondering…"

"Who the fuck is Takada-chan?"

Todo froze, if he wasn't so desperate right now, he would have torn Suiryu a new one. But then he heard Eso's voice.

"Oh you mean cutie-chan? I LOVE her music!"

"Oh God, her… Eso is a huge fan, Suiryu, she's the biggest pop star in Japan right now." Said Junpei. "Wait, she's asking about Suiryu?"

"Well, Ryomen Sukuna… she wants to do a music video with you." Todo explained.

"What the fuck…" Suiryu muttered.

Junpei was quick to jump in once more. "We may want to consider it. If anything it would be good exposer for us as well as a great way to get our image out there. Not to mention try something different,"

Suiryu sighed. "Put her on. Change this to facetime, got it."

"Yes!" Todo was quick to go back into the room. There he saw her manager staring down at Yuuji with great aw. Not the 'oh what a cute baby' kind of look. But. 'How the hell… is this really here?' kind.

"Miss Takada-chan, I have someone who wishes to speak to you…" Todo said with a grin.

He turned on the facetime feature. Suiryu appeared in his full Sukuna image. "Hey Todo… oh? Whose this?" he asked curiously.

Takada-chan froze in shock. "Ryomen Sukuna… THEE Ryomen Sukuna?!" she asked with great amazement.

He took Yuuji back as she wrenched the phone out of his hands. "Mr. Sukuna… sir… I'm Takada-chan… I'm a HUGE fan!" she said with great excitement.

"Please, just Ryomen is fine. Well, I never thought I would see a pop star be a fan of mine… my brother here is a huge fan of yours too… well. Two of them, Eso likes your stuff too."

She giggled to the news. "Uh… I was wondering… would you like to collaborate with me on a song and music video? I've always wanted to do one with you."

"Takada!" her manager protested.

"Sure"

She was stunned. "Wait, yes?" she asked with utter amazement.

"I don't see a downside to this, good exposer on both parties right?"

She was squealing now. "Thank you! I'll be in touch with you soon! Is it okay if I get your number?"

"On one condition…" he said and smiled deviously.

"Anything…" she said with great passion.

Suiryu was about to speak until he paused. "Can you tell that bleached, blond asshole of a manger to stop staring at my brother first, and that's not the condition…"

Todo peered over and found the manager was indeed staring at Yuuji oddly, his look appeared to be greedy in a sense. Todo held his little brother closer to him the moment he noticed. "The conditions… just as along as it's discreet and both parties are happy… I want you to spend a day with my brother Todo,"

He even froze to the condition! Is Suiryu being that much of a bro to him to do this? But then again, there must be a massive catch for a favor this large…

She blushed but nodded. "Sure thing," she said. "I was hoping we could combine our sound into something amazing, I think we could make something special!"

Suiryu merely nodded his head at the notion. "We'll figure something out, how about we discuss details tomorrow?"

Her eyes widened in shock. "Tomorrow? YES!" she squealed once more. "Thank you, thank you!"

"Okay, until tomorrow. Ask my big bro for my number," he hung up shortly after as she turned to Todo with amazement.

"You… know Ryomen Sukuna?" she asked with great admiration.

"Who do you think I am babysitting right now? This is his little brother,"

"Takada-chan, we spoke about this. No dating, as well, there can't be collaboration between you and Ryomen. You are two different genera, you're pop, he's alternative metal… it won't work!" her manager protested. But his eyes kept shifting to Yuuji oddly.

"I want to try something new and different!" she protested. "We are doing the same cute stuff over and over again. Let's change it up a little, who knows, we may get new fans out of this,"

He sneered at the notion but paused. "Hey, are you going to be helping with this? You going to be babysitting or something?"

"Something like that, yes," Todo replied.

Then the manager stared at Yuuji. "Bring the baby along to this meeting tomorrow. I am certain he will keep miss Takada happy…"
