"You're here faster than I had expected," Yūji states brightly, watching Naoya rip his grip out of Aimi's grip. Aimi walks in front of Yūji to keep Naoya away from her.
"Thank Zenzō-sama," Aimi says with a grin. Yūji perks up at the mention of her son and smiles as if she was the personification of the brightest star in the universe.
"Are they here now?"
"Chisato is making sure they're all tamed enough to be in public. Forgive me for not giving you my proper greeting, Yūji-sama." Aimi says softly, looking over her shoulder with genuine guilt. Yūji smiles softly and gently shakes her head.
"Proper greetings are the least of my concern, Yukimura-sensei. I'm just glad you're home again." The pink haired teenager waves off the apology before focusing on the group of jujutsu sorcerers around them.
"Yukimura-sensei, these are my classmates, the Kyoto school, and my teacher. Everyone, this is my personal trainer, Yukimura Aimi," Yūji introduces the middle-aged woman to everyone, skipping over Naoya. Aimi glances between them all before focusing on a furious Naoya.
"Yukimura Aimi! I should've realized you were talking about Yuki-onna!" Satoru exclaims brightly, walking forward with his hands in his pockets. Yūji tilts her head before glancing at her personal trainer.
"The higher-ups consider me a heathen to jujutsu society and branded me a curse user to try and get rid of me," Aimi explains the short version of the story.
"Yūji-chan, you have so many strange connections, yet you don't know half of what they do," Maki comments with an amused smirk. Yūji flushes bright red and crosses her arms, huffing.
"Why do I need to know all of what they do if I'm only gonna use them for half of it? Yukimura-sensei is a family friend anyway. I've known her all my life," Yūji grumbles with a pout.
Aimi smiles and shakes her head. "I am very grateful to Wasuke-sama and the Itadori Clan. Even if I was not useful to them, they would continue to protect me."
"Yuki-onna... what are you doing here?" Yūji tenses when Aimi immediately tenses. They turn and see both principals standing at the end of the stairs. Yūji bites back an audible snarl and takes a step forward, partially blocking her personal trainer from view.
"...still kicking I see, Gakuganji," Aimi speaks conversationally, hand itching for one of the weapons Yūji knows she has hidden on her person. "I am here for Yūji-sama. Especially now that she transferred to a school without my investigation beforehand."
"Gojo, execute the curse user, now," Yoshinobu orders, eyes appearing with an intense glare.
"Unfortunately for you, sir, no one here is allowed or able to kill Yukimura Aimi without severe consequences." Yūji meets the old man's glare, eyes turning frostbitten with fury.
"You are only a Vessel. You have no right to speak for humanity, you have no right to even live," Yoshinobu speaks darkly, presence becoming darker and angrier. Yūji audibly snarls this time, taking a step forward.
"Yūji," Satoru warns monotonously.
"Yūji-sama has every right to live until she herself says otherwise. No one under the Itadori Clan's protection is allowed to be killed unless explicitly ordered by the head of the clan." Everyone turns when the new voice speaks up. Chisato walks up the steps with an emotionless mask. A woman with black hair, tan skin, and dark eyes followed behind her, furiously typing away at a tablet.
"The Vessel is a little girl? And who are you?" Naoya asks in shocked disgust.
"If that isn't enough, Yūji-sama and Aimi are under diplomatic immunity," Chisato continues calmly. "My name is Asai Chisato, the Itadori Clan's housekeeper and Yūji-sama's legal guardian. This is Myung Ji-hye, the Itadori Clan's PA and financial manager. Asai Riho, Yūji-sama's children's bodyguard, is here as well and checking the perimeter."
"It is a Vessel now. No family name, no matter how important, will save it. Gojo, kill Yukimura and the Vessel!" Yoshinobu barks with a dangerous edge to his tone.
"The Itadori Clan is the sole founder and owner of the only zaibatsu in modern Japan, Draconis. The family is the only known family that can contest the Imperial Family's claim of the throne and succeed, and is the only thing keeping Japan as a stable, successful country. If Yūj-sama dies, stability as we know it will be destroyed." Chisato calmly fixes her shirt sleeves, not even bothering to look at the old man.
"Oh my God, you're that Itadori Yūji?! Why didn't you say anything, you idiot?! Yūji-chan!" Nobara shouts as she starts shaking Yūji back and forth. Yūji laughs nervously and gently stops the orange haired teenager.
"It wasn't important? Besides, Junpei already told you. I'm a heiress, and I have a family estate. He probably didn't know about me being from the Itadori Clan," Yūji speaks in an unsure tone, smiling sheepishly.
"You pretty motherfucker–"
"MAMA!" Yūji snaps her head up at the shout. She smiles the brightest she has ever smiled and sprints out of Nobara's hold.
"Zenzō! Oh, my sweet!" Yūji easily grabs the black blur that barrels into her legs and lifts him up into her arms. She hugs the five year old boy tightly to her chest and kisses his cheeks.
"Mama!" Zenzō cries out before sniffing loudly. Yūji gently shushes him before more kids barrel into her legs.
"Mama! Mama, we're back!" A 12 year old girl with black hair, black eyes, and pale skin exclaims tearfully, hugging her mother's waste as tight as she could.
"Yukari, I know, I know! I missed you all with my entire soul!" Yūji crouches down to hug Itadori Yukari and kiss her cheek.
Itadori Ryūya cries loudly and wraps his arms around Yūji's neck once she releases Yukari. "Mama! Mama, don't make us leave again!"
"Momma, Momma! Missed you too!" Three year old twins, Itadori Shuko and Itadori Shino exclaim cheerfully, jumping into the giant hug pile. Asai Riho, a young woman in her mid-20's with black hair, green eyes, and tan skin, is the last to walk up the stairs, glancing around for any attacks towards the children or Yūji.
"Oh, it hurt so much to make you stay away, but you will never stay away again. I swear," Yūji states breathlessly, somehow managing to keep her tears at bay. She kisses the foreheads of her children and laughs tearfully.
"Look at how much you've all grown!" She exclaims with a bright smile and she stands up. She runs her fingers through Ryūya's hair before turning around.
"Yūji-sama's adopted children," Chisato introduces with a bow. "Yukari-ōjosama, Ryūya-ōjisama, Zenzō-ōjisama, Shuko-ohimesama, and Shino-ohimesama."
Chisato blinks when she spots Junpei. "And Junpei-ōjisama."
"My sweets, these are my classmates and my teacher. Gojo Satoru-san, Kugisaki Nobara-kun, Fushiguro Megumi-kun, Inumaki Toge-kun, Zen'in Maki-chan, Panda-kun, and your new onīchan, Yoshino Junpei-kun." Yūji adjusts Zenzō on her hip before the boy turns to stare at her in confusion.
"What about the ones in your tummy? Our siblings that are Sato-san's kids!" Zenzō asks loudly, making Aimi cackle loudly and Chisato sighs heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Wait, you're pregnant?!" Nobara and Maki shout at the same time.
"Ikura okaka," Toge states while glaring heavily at an incredibly sheepish Satoru.
"N-now, now, if we all stay calm, Yūji-chan and I can explain," Satoru says nervously.
"Yūji, did the idiot force himself on you?" Megumi asks, suspiciously calm.
"Megumi-chan! I'm appalled you think so low of me!" Satoru exclaims with a hand over his heart.
"Yūji's pretty, she's your type, and you have a spinning carousel as a moral compass," Megumi deadpans, making Satoru pout with his arms crossed.
Yūji giggles and waves her hand. "No. It was a special grade curse that had a form of an aphrodisiac. Neither of us could take the chance of riding it out in case it killed us."
"Gojo-sensei..." Nobara grabs her hammer with a menacing grin. Satoru laughs nervously and takes a step back.
"Yes, Nobara-chan?"
"I suggest you run. Maki-chan, want to help me castrate the man?" Nobara asks cheerfully as Maki unsheathes one of her hidden knives.
"Of course," The green haired teenager smirks as she tosses her knife into the air. Junpei smiles innocently and walks between the older teenagers, summoning Orizuki.
"Orizuki, trap him," Junpei orders brightly. Yūji sighs in exasperation, glancing over at the furious Yoshinobu and Naoya, the utterly shocked Kyoto students and Masamichi, the completely unsurprised Chisato, Aimi, and Ji-hye.
"Surprise?" Yūji cheers unsurely, lifting her hands to do jazz hands. Chisato smiles and places a hand on her hip.
"Ever the embodiment of the Itadori Spontaneity, Yūji-sama."
Yūji hums a quiet tune, ignoring the tense atmosphere around her and her classmates. She looks up at the sky and smiles brightly. Her children were home, and healthy as can be.
"Yūji-chan..." Junpei trails off in an unsure manner. Yūji turns her head and smiles at the nervous teenager, head still tilted up.
"Yes, Junpei?"
"Are you–can you–" Junpei sighs, trying to find the right words. "Should you be fighting today? Aren't you worried?"
Yūji smiles just a bit brighter and stops walking, everyone quickly stopping with her. She grabs Junpei's hand and lightly presses it against her stomach.
"Can you sense it?" Yūji asks quietly, rubbing her thumb along Junpei's knuckles. Junpei stares down at her stomach with narrowed eyes before blinking when he feels it.
"That's..." Junpei trails off in surprise, making Yūji giggle.
"I can't do it yet since I still can't control my cursed energy that well, but Sukuna is protective, even if they aren't his children. No one, except for maybe Gojo-sensei, and even I'm not sure about that, can harm my womb with Sukuna protecting it," Yūji says softly, looking down at her stomach. She couldn't see the slight bump through her hoodie, but she could feel it.
"Why didn't you tell us? Why did you keep it a secret for so long?" Nobara butts in, staring down at Yūji's stomach with a frown.
A broken smile passes Yūji's face before disappearing as quickly as it appears. It doesn't get missed by the group around her.
"...I was pregnant before and... and he..." Yūji feels the hollow longing in her heart swell. "There was an unknown enemy. They had killed him a few hours... I couldn't... I have to make sure everything is prepared. I can't... I couldn't take any chances."
"Yūji-chan..." Nobara grabs Yūji's other hand with wide eyes.
"I've lost many children. All to enemies who want my power or influence. Many who just wish to see me suffer. I don't want to lose anymore children," Yūji continues softly, looking up to give Nobara a tired smile.
Megumi stares at the pink haired teenager with a hard look before turning around. "If keeping your children protected and alive with you is what will keep that bright smile on your face, then I'll try my hardest to keep them safe."
"Heh, lover boy," Sukuna snarks, a mouth suddenly appearing on Yūji's cheek. Yūji rolls her eyes with a bright smile, watching Megumi's ears turn bright red.
"You're too sweet, Megumi-kun!" Yūji skips over to the black haired teenager and wraps her arms around his waist. Megumi freezes, a visible shock travelling up his spine before he turns his head.
Yūji giggles and tilts her head to the side, peeking past his arm. "Thank you~!"
She jumps up on her tiptoes and kisses his cheek. She giggles again and slinks away towards a highly amused Nobara.
"What's our defense plan?" Nobara asks while holding out an elbow. Yūji grins innocently and links her elbow with Nobara's.
"The rules never stated that we had to keep our flag in its designated spot, right?" Yūji changes the subject, leaning closer to Nobara with a sharpness growing in her grin.
Nobara blinks before grinning just as sharp. "Yūji-chan, you are a beautiful, wonderful genius, and I love you and all of your strange connections."
Hello! Hope you all like the new chapter!
THE KIDS ARE HERE! WOOT WOOT! I wanted to add more to this chapter, but I decided to dedicate this to the children being introduced and Satoru possibly being murdered, so it is a bit short.
The next chapter is completely dedicated to the Goodwill Event! Woot woot! Though, I haven't decided if I wanted to write out the entire thing in one chapter or separate it, but we'll see where it goes.
I've been incredibly busy recently, so that might mean the chapter will take a while to be posted. A lot of words need to be written in very little free time. I'll try my hardest though!
Thank you all for being patient with me and I hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Bye.
