Chapter 19

The month finally passed.

But now, a new embarrassing chapter began for Toji.

Despite the fact he was allow to walk about once more, he could only do so while wearing a very fluffed out sweater… well. More like a giant tube sock that goes over his stomach, yet offers extra padding to protect his son. He had expected everyone to mock him for his appearance, but so far, everyone appeared rather… silent on the matter.

"Morning Toji, you got bigger again didn't you?" asked Yua as she peered him over.

"Tch, if I wasn't, I am sure the kids would give me hell… still… this feels weird…" he muttered. "I had a weird dream a while ago too, like I was on the outside looking in, Megumi was figuring out his form or something… yet those two Itadori guys were with him… how the hell did they get in my dreams like this!?"

Yua snickered. "I don't know everything about them either, but those two like to test the limits of their abilities, I can only assume dream hopping is one of them."

"Fuck…" he muttered.

"Besides, you're missing a great show right now…"

He appeared curious. "Oh?"

"Yeah, Chusi has had it with Gojo's smartass comments at Sukuna. She has warned him and is stating he has two chances left. If he blows it, she is going to punish him. How? She didn't say, but I am curious…"

A half smirk came over him. "Oh? So he has already blown it once?"

She nodded. Sukuna was actually teaching Calypso a little of what he knows… despite his reluctance to do so. But during the lesson, Gojo kept interfering, trying to be a smartass about it all. She caught him of course and then gave the warning. "You're lucky I am not counting the other instances this has happened. You have three chances but have already blown one!" she scolded him.

Toji smirked for a moment, but then paused. "So… am I safe to assume he has no intention of stopping?"

She shook her head. "At this point, he hasn't even considered the notion of stopping. After all, just seeing a little bit of what Chusi can do… I wouldn't dare push her. Even Sukuna has great admiration for her… it's bad enough she is pressuring him for children…"

Toji went white in the face. "What? That…"

Yua was quick to pinch his lips. "You are not going to be holding Megumi forever now, watch… your… tongue." She said slowly.

He merely nodded as she released his lips. "Good point, I'm not that stupid…" he muttered. "What do you think of the matter?"

Yua sighed at the thought. "I understand both perspectives, actually. The whole reason why Chusi returned to life was to be with Sukuna, she was going to marry him after all, she even told me she dreamed of the family she would have with him. At the same time, we all have seen him at his worst; we know he is capable of killing and harming a lot of people. At the same time, he's not a sorcerer. He's human. But I can see it on his face too, he feels undeserving of the idea of having a family. That, and perhaps he doesn't wish to allow what befell upon him to occur in any child he has. But honestly… his past is haunting him."

"Shit, you Toorus really do think things over huh?"

"I'm not entirely against him having a family of his own, I think it would help him be grounded. At the same time, we don't know what kind of child he will have. Part of the hold back for him… at least what I think… he doesn't want his children to look like him either."

Toji ho hummed the notion, it was plausible yes, but at the same time. Someone as powerful as Sukuna would defiantly want an heir. "I think he wants kids more than what is being let on, but at the same time, I think he knows that we are watching him closely on the notion. Some may assume is would raise the child to be Sukuna 2.0 or something. But, I've seen sorcerers like that. Most of the men in the clan were like that. Wanting a powerful heir in hopes their technique is passed down to the next generation, or hit the jackpot and get what I got with Megumi…" he said and patted his stomach. "I don't see that look in his eyes,"

Yua nodded. "Perhaps it's difficult for them to… I am not going to say anything more than that."

"Thank God, I don't need that image." He muttered. Toji then caught himself doing it again. He keeps rubbing his protruded stomach oddly, but then again, he can feel something happening to his son. It's strong, and yet… a part of him is worried.

"Megumi is going to be okay," Yua said gently. "He's your kid after all,"

He smirked at the notion. "Yeah, damn right he is," before he could speak any farther, his stomach grumbled. "Oh yeah, lunch time…"

Yua snickered as well. "Let's get you boys fed, you may want to rest after your meal too, I find you become quite lethargic after eating…"

"Shut up Tooru."

She took in everything.

Every word spoke, every note and detail as to what to look for. Calypso couldn't believe the wealth of information Sukuna possessed. "Why the hell did you have to learn from me?" he demanded of her. "I am certain that medicine man knew more than what I have come to know."

"Oh, right, but the thing is, he's only knowledgeable on divine remedies, mainly to use on divine beings, very little can be translated to everyday use on the earthly realm. You on the other hand, this information is more than I could ever ask for!" she said with great excitement.

Sukuna on the other hand sneered at the notion. "This isn't power, just so you know…"

She paused oddly. "You think I want to learn for the sake of power?" she asked innocently. "I merely wish to learn what I can so to help those around me. It's what my father would want, after all, he takes care of his family. I want to help too, for they are mine!" she stated.

He was taken aback by her tone but then, nodded. "Understood, then we will continue the lessons tomorrow. That is all for today."

She froze. "You… will still teach me?" she whispered.

"Yes, but that's enough for today." He insisted. He jumped when he felt her arms come around him. She gave him a heartfelt embrace before letting him go and bowing respectfully towards him!

"Thank you sensei! I'll come find you tomorrow for the next lesson!" with that, she ran off rather happily.

It was strange, despite teaching a little bit. This time it felt… rather nice. "It had nothing to do with jujutsu and yet, it was oddly fulfilling…" he muttered to himself.

"So you are finally going to do something around here!?"

His good mood instantly spoiled. "Six Eyes… I thought Chusi already warned you earlier…"

"Yeah, yeah, but I find most of the time when I get threatened no one really follows through since they can't do anything to me." He said and waved off the warning. "Besides, I was curious to what you were teaching… so… medical herbs?" he asked curiously.

"Yes, what of it?"

"Well, I never thought you would be a gardener or anything like that, you have four green thumbs, who knew?"

"Tch, learning to grow food and other herbs were essential for survival." He snapped back. "What of it!?"

"Easy there, you're no jolly green giant or anything like that."

"What do you want?" Sukuna demanded.

Gojo paused, but then smirked. "Absolutely nothing… I just like messing with you since I know there is nothing you can do about it!"

'Nothing I can do about it huh?' Sukuna thought. But then that smirk came over him. 'We'll see about that'.

"Although true, but there are other way I can get some vengeance upon you… Just wait and see…"

Gojo smirked. "I look forward to seeing you try!"

It was decided.

Tonight, he will make Gojo and Yua some special 'tea' that is can make very well, with a few surprises in store…
