Chapter 24
They appeared to have the same notion in mind. When it was time to eat, both Sukuna and Gojo suggested to the ladies that they leave first but if they wish, they would join them for a meal.
"I would like that," Chusi said. "Then we can come back and read, it's nice to have someone who appreciates books as much as I do."
Sukuna's heart fluttered a little.
When Satoru asked Yua, she giggled. "Okay, I would very much like to share a meal with you, but after I need to take a special bath for myself." She explained. "But you are welcomed to join me in the opposite bath…"
Satoru turned beet red. "Uh… if… if you are comfortable with that…" he said in a nervous tone.
When the ladies sat down for lunch, the men went to grab them a meal. Chusi was giggling. "We read all morning, we shared a book and he waited for me to finish before turning the page… who says romance is dead?"
"I made sure his fingernails and toenails got painted" Yua said and giggled. "Barbie pink!"
"Ooo, you go girl!" Chusi cheered.
They returned.
Satoru placed a plate before Yua, Sukuna did the same for Chusi. Yet, as Gojo was about to sit next to Yua. Sukuna grabbed him by the shoulders, lifted him out of his seat effortlessly and dropped him to the other side of the table across from her.
"What the hell!" Satoru protested.
Sukuna took his seat and bore a rather smug look. "Then move me," he decreed.
Satoru instantly gave up on the notion, but Chusi was giggling. There was a hidden meaning to this wasn't there?
"So, how about you gentlemen tell us about yourself?" Yua asked. "Ryomen is it? Let's start with you"
Sukuna sat next to Yua, but he was oddly smug about being asked to talk about himself first. "Well, at the moment, as shameful it is for me to say. I don't really remember a lot about myself right now… same with Satoru"
"HEY!" he protested.
"There's no point in making stuff up on the fly, knowing you…"
Satoru pouted as he glared at Sukuna.
"At the moment ladies, we are still… sorting some things out about ourselves. At the same time, despite that… we were very attracted to you. There's just this… aura about you two that is very inviting."
Yua paused as she stared at Chusi who merely winked at her.
Sukuna is this good with his words?! Then again, he does have a silver tongue…
"We know one thing for sure, we are brothers in law… and we're jujutsu sorcerers… that just came to us this morning." Satoru explained.
"Oh, brothers in law huh?" asked Yua.
"By the way, what's your clan name? We got your given name… but clan… OW!" Gojo protested as the table suddenly jolted. No doubt Sukuna was kicking him from under it.
"We don't mind telling you, my sister and I are the last of our clan anyway. We from the Tooru clan." Chusi explained.
Sukuna froze.
Satoru turned white… pale white.
"Toorus…" Sukuna whispered in shock. "Uh… ladies would you please excuse us for a moment, we will be right back…" He got up rather suddenly, he grabbed Gojo before dragging him away from the table.
Yua… was worried. "Did… did we scare them off? Satoru went pale!"
Chusi shook her head. "If anything, watch how attentive they become." She said and smiled. "Despite their memories being gone, the idea of the Tooru clan still remains and lingers in their mind… perhaps this may help them remember who they are?"
Yua hoped so, but that pale look Satoru gave her wasn't sitting well.

They retreated to their hotel room. Sukuna threw Gojo into it before he entered and closed the door behind him. Then, there came a crazed look over the face of Sukuna. "Toorus… THEY ARE TOORUS!" he said with great excitement. "Do you have ANY idea how HUGE this is!"
Satoru, didn't share in that excitement.
"I know of them… in fact, I am just starting to remember them now… they are a clan that have been ignored by jujutsu society, it has to be for a reason!" he protested.
Sukuna on the other hand chuckled. "The jujutsu society are a bunch of morons and idiots. The Tooru clan is one of the strongest, even greater than yours." He decreed.
"Wait… hold on…" Satoru suddenly had a thought come to his head. "The three great families… yeah… I'm part of that. But the Toorus are not" he said defiantly.
Ryomen glared at him with disappointment. "The three great families got nothing on the Toorus. They are the masters of their art… in fact… I think I learned from them… yes… the Toorus were excellent teachers…"
"Look, maybe this was a mistake…"
Sukuna froze to his decree.
"A mistake?" he asked. "A MISTAKE?!" he then roared. "No, no, the only mistake that would be made here, is if you didn't take this chance to try and woo a Tooru. You do realize the women are powerful, they are strong and they can give you a wonderful family as long as you take care of her as your wife. It's a greater blessing and honor to be married into that clan. They are VERY particular as to who enters. Do you know that?"
"How would you know that?!"
Sukuna paused. "Huh… I don't know… but that just came right out of me. It has to be true. I don't bullshit this" he said.
There was silence between them. Ryomen sighed aloud as he stared at Satoru. "She's a fine woman," he said bluntly. "Quite frankly, perhaps you may not want to pursue her… you're out of her league…"
"WHAT!?" Satoru protested. "I've turned women down left and right, what makes you think…"
"She scares you"
He froze.
Satoru peered away oddly, since after all. Ryomen nailed that thought in his head.
"I… I am starting to remember more about the Tooru family… they can copy techniques can't they?"
Ryomen paused oddly. "Yes and no" he said bluntly.
"Yes and no?" Satoru questioned. "What do you mean yes and no?"
Ryomen paused. "Let me explain it like this. They have their own technique, however, if they see a method that is close to their own, they can train their technique around that new notion they witnessed, it is up the sorcerer as to whether or not they can adapt it to their current curse energy. Memories are starting to come back to me too, since from what I can recall… I don't think there have been any Toorus who failed in such a method…"
"They're over powered…" Satoru whispered.
"And yet, why are there only two of them left?" Ryomen asked.
They fell silent to one another again. Satoru sighed aloud. "I… do you think I should go for it?"
"You would be an idiot not to. But as I said, you don't date and ditch a woman like that. Hell, I would even kill you if you did that!"
"HEY!"
"That's how serious I am!"
Satoru sighed. "Okay, let's go back, I'll be VERY careful with my words."
"You better,"
