Chapter 24

Three days later…

"Yua, I thought I told you not to call me back until this was over!"

She couldn't help herself, and after everything Nanami has been through well… let's say this would do his soul good.

Yua did manage to find him, despite not being on social media, she asked Tanso for his help in locating Nanami. Fortunately, he could do so within ten minutes. When he was found, Yua insisted he return.

"After what Gojo did…" he demanded through clenched teeth.

"Oh, I think that might be behind him, and besides, it's getting rather hilarious." She explained.

Yua took Nanami to her home, there, he found Satoru sitting in silence, reading a paper. "You got a visitor Satoru!" she called.

"They can go to hell, I don't care…"

She turned and saw Nanami freeze. He leaned in and whispered. "What's going on?"

She bore a 'wait and see' look on her face. "Satoru, Nanami came back." She said gently.

The paper lowered, Gojo peered at him before sneering. "So what?" he demanded. "Look, this stopped being fun a while ago. I want your so called Sister, to change me back!" he protested and put the paper back up. "For that matter, take Kento out of here… I don't want him to see me like this…"

Yua nodded and escorted Nanami out.

When the door closed, he turned to her, bewildered. "What happened in a week?!"

"Well, more like five days. I figured he would snap sooner than Sukuna… problem is we got a Gojo like Sukuna on our hands…"

Yua knew she saw his eye twitched with worry.

"Take it easy Kento, besides, Sukuna has his own 'Nanami' to annoy…"

"Sometimes, I am grateful that you don't listen to me… I really am…" Nanami said and smiled a little. "If anything, I think I'll return and stick around… by the way… why is Gojo so cranky?"

She couldn't help but muffle her laugh on that one. "Well, that happened two days ago. He sat down for breakfast and got everything with sugar in and on it. He took one bite… and hated it."

"That's impossible!"

"Oh it's possible, I saw the whole thing happen. Worst still, Sukuna came in, saw it, ate it before Gojo and relished the sweet flavors that he has longed to enjoy… Sukuna purposely teased him about eating all his favorite things and Satoru having none of them. Gojo has had nothing sweet since."

Somehow, his smile grew. "Do tell me more…"

"SUIRYU DARLING, IT'S BEEN FOREVER!"

Suiryu had his commitments put on hold for a while, today, he was answering D'angelo's call for help. Yet, he didn't come alone.

In fact, D'angelo noticed him right away, he was peering about and yet, people where whispering and talking. "Oh, look at him! Look at the mature look he has, and how he carries himself…"

D'angelo peered at Suiryu. "Tell," he demanded instantly.

Suiryu sighed aloud and leaned in. "That's Sukuna," and left it at that.

D'angelo kept looking between Sukuna and Suiryu, before he sighed aloud. "Damn, he does look like your older brother or something…"

"Looks like?" came out of Sukuna. "Oh Oniichan always looks after his otouto! Right little one?" It became rather creepy as Sukuna came up beside him, put his arm over his shoulder as if they were brothers and pinched Suiryu's cheeks for extra drama.

"Oh, don't be that way little otouto. I wouldn't DARE steal your thunder here… although…" he said in a teasing tone. "I think I could be better than you at this!"

He snickered and wondered off before Suiryu sighed aloud. "I think I understand Nanami in more ways than one at this point…" he said with a defeated sigh.

D'angelo, however kept peering at Suiryu oddly. "I STILL don't have the full story here, what the hell happened?!"

He tried to explain it as best as he could, but the fact remains. Sukuna didn't do this to himself, nor to Gojo…

"Wait, wait, wait… If he didn't do this to himself… who did?"

Suiryu pointed. There, Chusi came up to Sukuna and began to flirt with him… and he was more than willing to flirt back. The women all around froze as he did so, his devious grin was one of lust in their eyes. But, they sneered as he was seducing Chusi and not them.

God help the women who dare to try to flirt with him…

"So… Why is HE here?" D'angelo asked.

Suiryu gave a depressing sigh to it all. "Apparently, he gave an excellent performances a while ago. His soon to be wife, wanted to see how well he was… blending in. So… they followed me." Suiryu didn't want them to go with him, at the same time, he began to see Yua's point that something was going on with Sukuna.

He was always in a good mood… that was the first warning.

Second, he started to have a joy of sweet things. Soon, everything he ate had something sweet on the plate, desserts… he has begun to live for desserts.

Then, Chusi was saying how much fun he was to hang out with. But to her, this is the closest thing she has had to a date. It was sad really, however, as Yua explained. They had to get out more.

"So, that's my situation…" Suiryu explained. "But that's not the only problem I am dealing with…"

D'angelo nodded. "Indeed, we need to talk later. But let's get you ready to model!"

As they left for the photo studio, Suiryu paused and saw Sukuna and Chusi follow. "Mind if we join you? Chusi is getting into something call… role playing?" he asked curiously to her.

"Oh yeah, you become what you wear!" she decreed.

"Ooo kinky…"

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Suiryu roared.
