19. Mosquito Bite
"Why didn't you tell me that Utahime had a boyfriend?" Eh little brat?" Gojo questioned looking at his son
Yoshio just laughed—"Daaah! Why didn't you ask me before"- He stuck out my tongue and climbed on the handrail
Father and son were in a small recreation area in that part of the center
The sunset was beautiful in that area and it was full of life at the time as they were near one of the oldest and busiest shrines
There were many children at that time playing on the railings, swings and other games
Gojo grimaced, "But you said there were men who made her cry... Does that mean she went out with others?" Do not?"
"Yes, but that was before Kenji" — Yoshio said holding on to the first handrail—"he's the only one who hasn't made mom cry"— He smiled
Gojo felt a little bad about that, he had also made her cry the day before.
"And what happened to the previous men your mother dated?" Why do you say they made her cry about her?" Gojo asked curiously "Although Utahime has always been a crybaby..."
"She only went out with most of them once, but they always made her cry because they didn't like her scar, once I heard one of those cretins say that that mark was horrible... My mom's scar isn't horrible!" He said a little annoyed as he crossed through that game
"It's not horrible at all, your mother is very beautiful" Gojo said with a slight smile.
He quickly looked for said woman, who was chatting with Ijichi on some benches.
Yoshio looked at his father's face, I noticed that he had a special shine in his eyes
"And I taught all those men who made mom cry a lesson"— Yoshio commented smiling while holding the following bars
But when he was going to reach the last bar, Yoshio did not hold on well and was about to hit the ground
Luckily, his father managed to hold him by running his hands through his armpits.
"Did you teach them a lesson?" How?" Gojo asked raising an eyebrow.
A mischievous smile raised the corners of the little boy's lips.
Yoshio was a child full of mischief, but very intelligent.
When you combine both, a lot of mischief can come out
Yoshio from a very young age took seriously the words his grandfather told him: "Take care of your mother from the men who make her cry"
So whenever a man said something bad or ugly about his mother or made her cry, he always ended up doing some mischief.
Like putting one of them super glue on some seat to the point of making a hole in his pants
Or make one or another stick a tack in their feet or their butt
He even scared others by "pretending" that he cursed them for the rest of their lives
Being considered in the temple as "an apprentice priest", he only had to say a random word or two for them to believe that some "spell" was pronounced.
Of course, this before being able to see the curses at six years old
Among other shenanigans...
Gojo laughed out loud as he held his son in his arms.
"You did what? Hahahaha, without a doubt you are a little Gojo" he said proudly
Yoshio laughed too much for that
"I'm proud that you defended your mother from all those Morons" Gojo commented, bending down to lower his son and look at him on his level.
"Your saturron only saved you because you turned out to be my father, but I..." Yoshio said pointing at him
But Gojo interrupted him with another laugh.
"Hahaha, if not what?" I don't think you can do anything to the strongest sorcerer" said Gojo with a big smile
Yoshio crossed his arms. "I'll only let you pass if you teach me how to eliminate those shitty creatures like you did yesterday." He commented with a smile.
"mmmm" Gojo made that slight noise
Then he looked back at Utahime
He knew that she would not accept that he would involve Yoshio in the world of wizardry and even less so now that they had reached an agreement.
Gojo sighed seeing Utahime continue talking to Ijichi.
I really couldn't stop looking at her and Yoshio noticed that
"Do you still like mom?" Right?"— Asked her son with a smile
Gojo blushed at those words that he even quickly turned to see his son
"My eyes tell me..." said that boy, carving one of his little eyes
Gojo looked at the blue of his son's eyes, he couldn't hide the truth from me
"Let's make a deal..." Gojo commented quietly.
That bond that father and son were creating would play an important role in the future.
"Please, Ijichi... I only ask that if Gojo does something reckless while in Tokyo, You let me know right away, as a friend and as your senpai" Utahime said with a sigh.
"Well, now that you mention it Iori senpai..."— that assistant adjusted his glasses—"I feel that Gojo will do something reckless with the clan..."— he was interrupted
"Ijichi, could you join Yoshio for an ice cream?" Gojo suddenly appeared and took off his dark glasses.
"Huh?" Ijichi said surprised.
"Can't you with him? Gojo?" Utahime crossed her arms.
"No. Why do I need to talk to you Utahime and Yoshio wants Ijichi to take him out for ice cream"— Gojo commented with a big smile and pointing at his assistant
"What... I what?" Ijichi was nervous by that comment.
"Yoshio said that?" Utahime raised an eyebrow.
Gojo smile a little
"Yes, that's right." He pointed to his son who was a few meters away from them and waved his little hand.
"Now, Ijichi" Gojo picked him up quickly "I also want you to bring me a five-tier ice cream of various flavor" he said, taking his place on that bench.
"B...But!" Ijichi couldn't object.
"Go or I'll hit you!" Gojo commented, placing his right hand on the back of the bench.
"Okay, okay!" Ijichi said resigned. "Iori senpai, would you like me to bring you some candy or some ice cream too?" He asked kindly.
"I…"— Utahime was interrupted
"Anything sweeter than her boyfriend?"Puff haha I don't think he wants something like that"— Gojo mocked
Utahime narrowed her eyes in annoyance at that comment.💢
Then she kindly addressed her kohai
"No Thank you Ijichi, so i'm fine, and please, don't let Yoshio choose too many flavors and by the way, don't eat anything with peaches," she said, smiling slightly at him
"Noted!" Ijichi commented.
"Come on old man!" Quick I'm dying of heat!" Yoshio said pulling Ijichi to get him away from there
Gojo smiled for that scene
A few minutes later... both adults were silent
Only the noises around gave it a familiar atmosphere
Gojo did not take his eyes off Utahime, who was still serious and with his arms crossed over her chest
The albino again tried to caress those bare shoulders
But Utahime, feeling that slight touch, better moved to the edge of the bench
"And now what do you want to talk about, Gojo?" Utahime asked seriously, she was already fed up with him
Gojo moved a little closer to her.
"Utahime, did I tell you how beautiful you look today?"— He commented in a gallant tone.
Utahime raised an eyebrow. "They already told me, thank you" she said coldly.
Gojo laugh lightly
"Hahahaha the opinion of your "little boyfriend" doesn't count in this"— he said moving his eyebrows
Utahime rolled her eyes—"son of a bitch..."— she crossed her legs
"Seriously, how long have you been with "that guy"? I guess you're with him just to forget me, right?"— Gojo questioned with a big smile.
"Why the hell do you want to know that?" Utahime questioned leaning her head on her right hand and his elbow on her slightly raised leg.
Gojo blurted out—"To meet my competition"
Utahime giggled slightly sarcastically.
"Hahahaha Competition? This must just be a joke of yours..." — she got up from that bench
But when she was going to leave there, Gojo stopped her
He hugged her tightly, hiding his face between her shoulder and her neck.
"Gojo what the hell!" she said, in shock
For a moment, Utahime thought he felt the man's heart beating strongly.
Utahime did not know what to do, her whole body trembled and her eyes wanted to fill with tears
"Satoru, please let go of me, we already talked about this!" Utahime ordered trying to sound serious.
"I... I really want to get you back Utahime..." he said quietly.
His breath ran down her neck.
Who, opened her eyes very wide upon hearing those words and even a slight blush covered her cheeks
The albino raised his face to look into her eyes without taking his arms off her waist yet.
They both stared into each other's eyes
Utahime's cheeks were very red from looking at him so closely.
Even his heart wanted to burst out of his chest again
"So I won't give up until I conquer you again... not only will I show that I'll be a good father to Yoshio, but I'll also show that I'm the best man for you," he said, staring at her.
"Gojo..." the words barely came out of her mouth, she didn't know what to think in the face of all that
"I admit it, I'm jealous of your idiot boyfriend and all the men you went out with..." Gojo said without further stroking her scar
Utahime ended up getting very red from that statement, so she assumed that Yoshio had something to do with this.
While that scene between those two adults was happening
Yoshio was sitting on top of the slide looking at his parents and eating his ice cream.
Instead, Ijichi was waiting for him downstairs, struggling to keep Gojo's ice cream from melting in his hands.
That boy literally dragged that assistant to the games, so poor Ijichi had no choice but to follow him for his own good
"Hey four eyes!"
Yoshio said moving his little legs looking at that "romantic" scene of his parents
"You're talking to me?" Ijichi asked, pointing to himself and looking at that boy.
"Yes, to you! Or who else?" Yoshio commented with a grimace.
"My... My name is Kiyotaka Ijichi Little! ..." that adult wanted to show him authority
But the boy interrupted him
"Yes, yes whatever. Do you know if my parents still love each other?" The Little boy asked very curious.
"What?!" Ijichi blurted out.
"If you know that if my parents feel something for each other"— Yoshio said pointing to that scene where Gojo hugged Utahime
Ijichi blushed at that. "You don't have to see that! Get down from there!" He said nervously.
Yoshio made a slight face—"And why not?"—He moved his hand
"Why!"— Ijichi was interrupted
At that moment and "by mistake" Yoshio dropped his ice cream on the shoulder of that assistant, staining that fine suit
"Oops!" Yoshio let out a slight mocking laugh
Ijichi shrieked in anger.
"Hey four eyes!" Will you buy me another ice cream? By fis! Yes? - asked that boy with puppy eyes
Ijichi took a deep breath trying to control his anger... that boy really was a shameless copy of Gojo
"What karma am I paying for this to happen to me?" Ijichi cursed himself loudly, moving his hands roughly.
"Hey Ijichi!" Yoshio yelled pointing to the ice cream that the assistant was carrying in his hands
The attendant in his fury had dropped the Gojo ice cream
"I think we'll have to buy two ice creams if you don't want Dad to hit you," Yoshio said, finally going down the slide.
Ijichi gritted his teeth in frustration as the boy made fun of him.
Returning with the parents of this little...
"This must all be a joke…"— Utahime let out with a nervous smile—"What you say is very absurd Satoru"—
"It's not Utahime... I'm serious," Gojo said, bringing his face closer to hers.
"But I already have someone so this will be impossible Gojo!" — She said annoyed as she struggled to get rid of that man's arms—"I don't want to be an infidel like you..." —
But he smiled very confident of himself. "As I said, nothing is impossible for the strongest sorcerer and I won't give up until you fall in love with me... so I'll also have to show you that I'm serious."
"Gojo stop!"— Utahime said reluctantly —"Let me g...!—
But this was silenced by a kiss on the lips
Utahime was surprised by that, even so she tried to separate herself from the lips of that idiot
But it was useless, both Gojo's hand behind her neck and a feeling kept very deep in her heart, made her slightly reciprocate that kiss.
It felt like the last time they saw each other six years ago... where he also kissed her in a public area before she went back to Kyoto for Christmas.
Even her tears wanted to overflow, but her pride made her react
"This idiot must be planning something!"—she told herself as she tried to get away
That kiss didn't last more than a minute...
Gojo slowly pulled away with a big smile on his lips.
Utahime had a big pout on her lips as her cheeks burned from how red they were.
"That's so you can see that I'm serious Utahime..." he slowly approached her ear
Utahime was furious
"Enough Gojo!" She said very red trying to move him away with her hands
But it was useless, that man was too strong for her alone
"I also have a message for your boyfriend..." Gojo said quietly.
Utahime felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest for everything that was going on
At that moment and in a quick movement, Gojo placed his lips on the neck of she
"Gojo, stop!" Utahime said, closing her eyes tightly because that wasn't a normal kiss.
That man left a pacifier on her neck
It was slowly taking off while saying in a seductive voice
"And this is for you to tell your "little boyfriend" that you're still mine..." he said with a big smile.
Utahime was very red, she pressed her lips together tightly and quickly put a hand to that stinging red mark
I was exploding with fury at that daring
"You're a...!" Utahime was interrupted by her son
"We're back!" Yoshio said happily.
"Mom, are you okay?" Yoshio ask when I see her mother, very red and with her hand on her neck.
"Yes... I was just bitten by a stupid mosquito" she lied very embarrassed
"Haha, we'd better go home before that "mosquito" wants to suck all your blood" suggested Gojo happily.
"And my five-tier ice cream?" Here I only see three snowballs!" said Gojo approaching Ijichi
The poor assistant was trying not to lose his sanity and while he was at it, he was trying to breathe since Yoshio brought him from one place to another through that park after coming back from buying him another ice cream.
"The two balls melted on the way, but before that we had to buy it again since four eyes threw your first ice cream on the ground" — Yoshio explained while he and his father were walking eating that ice cream
"Then I'll have to punish Ijichi for that!" Gojo laughed a little.
Ijichi sighed at that comment, then he noticed how his senpai was very blushed
"Is everything alright Iori Senpai?" Ijichi asked.
Utahime untied her bun to cover that pacifier with her hair
"Yes... we just take home... please Ijichi"— she said seriously
All the way home, Utahime was very serious and blushing. Covering that pacifier with her hair and not being able to look at Gojo
Instead, Yoshio and his father were very happy
I wish I could say that happiness would doubt a long time...
The three of them were already in the doorway of Utahime's apartment.
That "family" were saying goodbye for that day
"Well brat, see you on Friday" said Gojo, saying goodbye to his son with a big hug.
"You better get here for my old man!" I hate waiting — said Yoshio very excited
"It's time for you to take a bath, my love..." Utahime said, looking at her son.
"I Go! Goodbye saturron! I say dad!— Yoshio yelled running into the apartment
Afterward, Gojo turned to Utahime, who had a big scowl on her lips and her arms crossed.
"See you Utahime..." said Gojo with a big smile
And when he was going to bring his face closer to Utahime's again, Utahime closed the door in his face.
"Hahaha rest, I hope you think of me tonight" Gojo said from the other side of the door
Utahime had a big scowl about that as she leaned against the door.
She wasn't going to deny it, all that left her confused but she shouldn't fall for that idiot's games
"And good? Did everything go according to your plan Gojo san?" Ijichi asked when he saw that the sorcerer approached happily.
That assistant was waiting for him in the parking lot
"In the beginning my plan was going great, but it got sidetracked a bit due to an "unexpected extra", but I guess it will go well with time... I know I'll return to the world of wizardry with a vengeance" he said with his hands in the pockets
By saying extra, he meant Utahime's boyfriend
The assistant sighed.
"Speaking of "extra things" Gojo san..." — Ijichi tried to say before getting into the car
But Gojo interrupted him as he climbed into the back seats.
"Ijichi, I'm going to need you to buy me an apartment here in Kyoto, I also need you to find me another bigger apartment in Tokyo. Oh, and by the way, I want us to stop by for dessert before we get to the hotel!" Gojo was submerged in happiness. he didn't pay attention to his assistant
"B...but?!" Ijichi didn't know how to interrupt that.
"And I also need you to investigate a "certain person" for me. Ah! And I also need you to buy me a very big car! And also..."— Gojo kept talking
Ijichi sighed at all those requests as he started to drive.
"And we're also going to need a lot of toys and fill a wardrobe for Yoshio and..." the sorcerer went on like this for a few more minutes
He was so happy to be able to live with his son that he did not know the "other problem" that was coming
A few minutes later...
"Okay Gojo san... I'll get you all those requests, but after our visit tomorrow" Ijichi commented adjusting his glasses while waited for the traffic light to turn green
"Visit?" Gojo raised an eyebrow.
"We already received a response from the Ashiya clan..." Ijichi commented.
" And what did our new "friends" say?"— Gojo asked, putting his feet up on the back seats.
"Well, the leader of the clan said that tomorrow she wants to see you in the city of Tokyo at 08:00 am and she has given us a series of indications to be able to see her..."— Ijichi began to say nervously
"And why didn't you tell me before?!" Gojo questioned, surprised by that.
"I tried but..." Ijichi was interrupted
"It doesn't matter... maybe this is a sign that our luck is about to change" Gojo said excitedly "We'll leave for Tokyo first thing in the morning!" What's the worst that could happen?"
To be continue...
