Chapter 13

"Something has to be done!"

"This is getting out of hand and fast, Yaga, what do you have to say to this!?"

It was getting annoying to say the least. Yaga was called away on this by the elders, they were upset with recent events involving Itadori… well… both of them. The fact was that the paper has reported a 'gas leak' that made people pass out. However there was no indication that people had died from this odd event. "They are causing trouble, why was curse speech used in a public area!" the eldest demanded.

"I don't have the details yet, but I assume Itadori was being…"

"It IS that Itadori boy!"

"Itadori has been going through some odd changed, we are monitoring…"

"What odd changes?"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence, Yaga sighed aloud. "Over the course of the month, Yuuji Itadori was losing his teeth, he has since lost all of them and his ability to speak. His curse energy and divine energy are no longer present in his body, they have been sealed away. Even his curse marks are gone," he explained.

This made them appear interested. "Go on…"

"That's all I have, we are trying to figure out what is happening to him, at the same time, there is little information on the matter."

The elders began to exchange looks. "Perhaps the binding vow could be broken and we invite the divine users back…"

"I don't think they will help the situation…" Yaga warned. "We are trying to keep this quite for Itadori's sake. Suiryu has been monitoring everything…"

"Why are you having Sukuna look after this?"

He sighed once more. "How many times do we have to do this? Goddamn it, those two have done MORE than enough to show where they stand, even Suiryu who I didn't care for at all! Yet seeing the improvement in the students, their abilities and confidence in battle I have no reason to believe he isn't here to help!" he protested. "He cares for his brother, deeply, despite how cold he appears, he wants to protect Yuuji. He has done so, and those he cares about without hesitation." He paused for a moment. "You do realize the reason why we suffered little casualties when we faced up against two members of the fifth hand… was because he planned the battle strategy…"

They paused to it. "He's putting on a good show…"

"Not to mention he was the one that used the cursed wombs in battle, the ones he had Itadori steal and consume…"

"You fail to realize those… men, helped us… they were the extra power we needed to win and survive this war!" he protested once more. "Why are you bring this up?" he demanded.

The elders exchanged looks. One leaned in and said. "We don't know what to do with Itadori, if you can't figure it out, he should be left in the hands of those who can. Hong Kong isn't too far for him…"

"He will not be leaving MY school!" Yaga protested once more. "He's MY student, quite frankly, you would have to go through Suiryu and Gojo if that's the case. Whoever does that, has a death wish."

"They can have the Sukuna clone as well,"

"Goddamn it…" Yaga muttered once more. "I refuse to send either Itadori anywhere, both will remaining at our school. You will not be informing the divine users of Hong Kong. I refuse to cooperate with you any longer!"

With that, he stormed out of the room.

Yaga sighed aloud until his phone went off.

He paused and saw the photo. "What the hell…"

It was a 'school picture' Gojo taking it of course as he appeared the closest to the camera, yet behind him were the students… and the curse wombs who fought in battle along side them. "Son of a bitch Gojo…" he muttered.

"So, these are your rooms, we already modify one for Sho of course. Tanso there's a place for your blood familiars to roam about…" Gojo was giving them the grand tour of it all. Showing where everything was and what to do. The brothers appeared to be keen to come to the school. After all, Suiryu explained the situation. They were all on board with it. It also helped that Junpei was able to help the brothers settle in since he too just started his school year.

When they arrived, Gojo greeted them and took a 'school picture' to commemorate the moment. Junpei was the one to give the brothers a tour of the grounds. In that time, Suiryu had been modifying some of the empty dorm rooms they had near the boy's location. He ensured that it was just like back at their home and all the brothers have the comforts they need.

When Junpei returned, Suiryu brought them to the dorms and explained a few things. "I do have to modify the kitchen for Eso, however, you are more than welcome to use the school kitchen for the time being, brothers, you are free and welcome to eat with us as well."

They nodded and were quick to settle in, Gojo however was rather fascinated with Junpei as he came to his room and peered in. He decided to move in the the brothers once more to ensure that they settle in. "I remember you telling me, Yuuji told you about this place huh?"

He paused from unpacking a few more things from home, despite having little in the way of possession. Junpei's shoulders slumped. "Yeah," he whispered. "But… I blew it after believing in a curse… that used me to harm others and even hurt Yuuji…"

"I see… but lesson learned right!" Gojo said offhandedly. He was silent. "Come on, it's not that bad!"

"I died… then. At the same time, I had no idea that I could be brought back this way…"

"I wasn't quite filled in on that little bit." Gojo said offhandedly.

Junpei snickered. "I doubt you would be." He finished unpacking and turned to Gojo. "I hope to learn well here. Despite being a curse, but, I know I will be a great help to Yuuji. So far the lessons have been good, I feel like I fit in, sort of…"

"You already have been helping Itadori, I doubt we would have won that war without you and your brothers. Your help was truly needed and greatly appreciated. You impressed me. Taking down a clone of a special grade curse… that had to have been at least… half of Sukuna's original power."

He merely smiled at the fact. "I was taught well on how to use it, not to mention, given the confidence to stand before my fear and face them head on. Suiryu is a great teacher."

"I hear that more and more." Gojo snickered. "Well, anyways, take your time, unwind, enjoy yourself while you are here. Help your brothers adjust…"

"UMPH!"

Gojo paused as the brothers came out, Yuuji stood there with four armfuls of snacks for the brothers!

"Alright snacks!" cheered Kotsuso.

"You got the good ones too, salty chips right?" asked Noranso.

It was like a mini feeding frenzy as the brothers took what they liked and hoarded them to their rooms. Junpei snickered as Yuuji smiled through it all. But then his eyes locked on him, taking out his phone he began to text.

The message was sent. 'wanna hang out with the guys and I today? We're going into the city!'

"Really, so soon?" Gojo asked.

Yuuji texted. 'I'm not going alone, Nobara, Fushiguro are going, Junpei hasn't been out, he also needs clothes.'

Junpei was taken aback but nodded. "I'd like that a lot." He said.

Yuuji nudged his head towards the door. They were going right now! Junpei called out to the brothers that he was heading out. They nodded and wished him a good time.
