Chapter 5

Gojo was wondering about to see what the students did on their day off. He paused, as they appeared to be meeting about their lessons with Suiryu. Yuuji wasn't there of course since he had gone off with his brother. But they appeared to be deciding on whether or not to continue. "This is a load of shit, you all know it too," Mika said as she started the battle cry. "He is playing us for fools!"

"I do admit I have gotten better, but at the same time, I don't think he is out to help us the least bit, it appears more of distraction." Said Nobara.

Gojo decided to wonder into the conversation. "So that's it huh? You are going to up and quit the lessons?" he asked curiously. "Please, this isn't anything different than what I put you though."

They all appeared to glare at him, well, everyone but Inumaki. "Sensei, he's not letting us win, he won't give us a chance to!" protested Fushiguro. "The level we are on isn't equal to that of one of Sukuna's fingers… we're all stronger than that!"

He paused and appeared to think about it. "Ah, yes you said that before. And what you said is no lie either," he said aloud. "But the question is, why isn't he giving you a chance to win? OR, are you just not seeing the greater picture here?"

"Either way, we shouldn't have to take these lessons right" Nobara stated. "They only gave him this job as something to do."

"Even more curious…" Gojo said. "Out of all the other things he could be doing, considering he was part of the original Sukuna… why would he even bother wasting his time on you?"

This may everyone pause, but then Gojo turned to Inumaki. "You've been silent, what do you think? Is he being too hard one everyone?"

"Sensei, you know he's just going to…"

'No, his lessons are valid, and they have improved upon our skills greatly, he is telling us that we cannot expect to step into the same fight twice, despite getting a feeling for what is to happen next. We have to prepare and expect the unexpected'

Everyone went white in the face. They all slowly turned to Toge who merely hung his head to them. "Since when…" Mika demanded.

'Since my lessons with Sensei Suiryu.' He replied. 'What seems unfair, isn't. What we have to realize is that our strength is growing, but we are relying too much on the past events and what we already experienced to get us though something we have yet to deal with before'

"He… taught you how to speak like this?" Panda asked.

Inumaki nodded.

"He can't speak that much or fluently like this yet. I know if he uses this too much he gets a nose bleed." Gojo stated. "But he learned all of that from Suiryu in the month he was his student. Now, consider this. You have been at this two weeks now, you have all nearly reached the first safe point, when before, you couldn't even step foot on the mountain, what does that say?"

There came grumbling from the students, but then a defeated sigh followed. "Fine, we will keep going until the end of the month, if we don't reach the safe point by that time, then we are going to quit!" stated Mika.

"You can," muttered Fushiguro. "Sensei is right, also we have to take into factor we are literally learning from Sukuna himself in a sense… the king of curses and we have yet to take advantage of it."

"Yuuji would help you too…" Gojo said offhandedly. "But he also told me as of late, that he won't go easy on anyone, quite frankly, he is even making me sweat when we spar!" but he paused. "Still, if you truly wish to see your potential… stick with Suiryu, since he will know best as to how to bring it out."

This stunned everyone but they came to an agreement. They would continue on until the end of the month and see if this was all worth it.

"I am getting sick of this…" Suiryu muttered offhand to Yuuji.

Yuuji sat in a chair as always, holding on to all the new clothing his brother was 'gifted' recently for his photo shoots. Most of the time he just donates them off, or even sells them to hardcore fans of his. But he could tell Suiryu was not having fun. This was all just to pass the time until his teaching job came up. "Then quit," he said. "You can if you want to,"

Suiryu was about to speak until the D'angelo came in. "Suiryu, darling!" he cheered. "You have become my most famous and favorite model to work with, come, come, let's get to work…" he then paused and turned to Yuuji. "I have yet to do a photo shoot with your twin there, would he be interested?"

"NO!" Yuuji protested. But quickly calmed him. "Sorry… no thank you… I am not one for the camera…"

"Oh come off it darling, you two are twins aren't you? I can tell!"

"My brother isn't one for the limelight to say the least, and I am considering my options as well…"

This made him freeze. "Wait… WHAT!" he demanded. "You can't be serious!"

"There's nothing left for me to prove here," Suiryu explained. "The money is good, I admit that, but at the same time. I ain't having fun."

D'angelo was at a loss for words at first, until he was able to stammer out. "Oh please, don't do this to me. You are the inspiration I need! I'll double, even triple your pay!"

Yuuji sighed aloud. "How about just lightening his load a little? You call him every week, every other day for photo shoots. Just… ease up?" he suggested.

"I could do this strictly on weekends only." Suiryu stated with a sigh. "JUST weekends,"

D'angelo froze, but agreed to it. "I rather have you for a weekend than not at all. Okay, today you are MINE!" he protested.

Suiryu was on his best behavior, he spent over six hours doing photo shoots as Yuuji sat and waited for him. But D'angelo was adamant on getting him to join. "Oh come on, one little photo shoot!" he pleaded.

Yuuji shook his head. Not that he wouldn't want to join in on the fun in a sense, not to mention Suiryu wouldn't want to suffer alone doing this. But the fact remains; he is a curse with a human like body. His extra arms, marks and demon eyes would be exposed. It was bad enough he has to trim his fingernails once a day to prevent them from turning into talons!

But they went on and soon it was done and over with.

Suiryu sighed aloud as he turned to Yuuji, rolling his eyes to it all. But then an evil smirk came over him. "Hey… how about we do a Halloween photo shoot soon?" he asked with a twisted grin. "My brother and I would really freak people out with the costumes we make…"

"Wait, what…" Yuuji whispered.

"OOoo I wanted to do a Halloween shoot too!"

"But the catch is this, we can't take our costumes off… is that okay? Whatever we made up for ourselves, HAS to be used in the shoot, no cover ups or taking it off. Is that doable?"

"Of course, I trust you. Finally, some double trouble!"

"Suiryu…" Yuuji hissed lowly.

But the smile on him just kept growing. "My brother is AMAZING at making prosthetic for himself. So don't be too surprised when you see him tomorrow. Yeah… let's do this tomorrow!" he said as the smile refused to leave his face.

"I cannot wait! See you both tomorrow then!"

On the way back to school, Yuuji glared at him. "You really are taking a risk here… you are going to show the world that I'm a curse!" he whispered.

"It's Halloween, no one is going to think anything of it!" but then paused. "Except those who know Jujutsu, and let's face it everyone in that knows about you. Who doesn't?"

"What about you though?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly, I put a taboo on my name at the school. No one can speak of it outside of the school setting OR if they are not part of the curriculum. As for the modeling… Eh, I don't care. They are going to think I'm Sukuna… but when the hell would he even bother to do this?" he asked with a grin. "Come on, I want you to suffer with me though this, brother's share!"

"In that case, you better be sharing that pay cheque of yours."
