Chapter 2
''Aye! You cryin'.''
The manchild smirked. His tone is a low timbre, but the way he said it sounded cheeky. He now held his hand in front of Utahime's face staring her down for some reason. His eyes were very intense like they were scanning Utahime. Utahime felt like a spectacle under his gaze. She couldn't tell what he was thinking and wanted to run away, but she didn't want to be rude.
''No I'm fine thank you,'' Utahime replied quickly picking herself up from the ground, without accepting the manchild's help. She whined again from the pain, it mainly came from her back.
''Sorry sir, but I need to get going.'' Utahime turned but the manchild appeared in front of her out of nowhere. Utahime's view was blocked by a warm yellow checkered Chanel sweater vest, the man's chest was in front of her face.
'How did he get up so fast' Lori thought to herself before looking up.
The manchild towered over her, her head didn't even come to his shoulders. He was as tall as basketball players in the USA. What kind of freak of nature is this Utahime asked herself.
The manchild still had his cheeky grin on him.
''Sir? That's a new one. I haven't been addressed like that in a long time.'' Utahime stood in confusion as the man went to grab the purple Y2K square glasses in his hair, pulling them down to cover his eyes. His stance seemed very whimsical and wonky, he stood with his hands around his hips, his legs parted wide and his chest leaning forward towards Utahime.
''You aren't gonna see if I'm okay? Very rude to not check up on someone who's just fallen over.'' the man mocked
Utahime knew she could have been nicer to check if he'd been okay. But she was already annoyed, wanted to start her day at her new job, and didn't want to speak to this goofy manchild any longer.
But now she was over it.
''Excuse me, but you ran into me and fell on top of me. You didn't even get up until I yelled. You had no awareness of me. You look okay, I'm the one that's hurt.'' Lori touched her back to emphasize her point.
''Excuse me! But I did give out a hand, but you rejected it. Maybe next time take the help instead of being such a meanie to me.'' he mocked back at her in a voice that copied her own.
Iori didn't respond out of frustration, biting her tongue, she then noticed the man was eyeing her from head to toe but he was doing it very subtly. She noticed he used his sunglasses to cover his eyes from being seen by her.
But why?
He quietly observed the blue and white baseball hat she was wearing, her baggy grey/teal pants, old worn-out grey sneakers, and her black sweater. She also wore a little bag pack on her back. The man stopped talking and Lori found this as her cue to leave, moving past him before he stopped her with his large left hand. He placed his hand on her left arm touching the fabric of her black sweater.
''Not gonna say goodbye?''
The tempo in the way he said words was very low and slow like he was doing it on purpose for some effect.
Why did he come off like an innocent child looking for attention?
''My bad. Have a nice day.'' Utahime said flatly nodding lowly without even looking at him before brushing past and going straight through the glass building doors. She heard him yell something about getting her back checked, but she didn't have time to entertain a wack job, and couldn't care less. Iori needed to meet with the company CEO at the meeting on her first day.
Gojo stood in the same spot with his hands in the pocket of his caramel leather pants, he was in thought. Who was that lady just now? She seemed very odd, most women who came across him were all over Gojo. They either screamed in high pitch screeches like Dolphins due to being starstruck, jumped him down, sexually harassed him by touching his abs, butt, and arms, or flirted like crazy whilst pretending to not know who he was. But that girl from before, she wanted nothing to do with him, it felt like she was irritated by him Gojo thought. It felt very natural too as he couldn't detect any lies in her actions. Gojo could sense liars, his eyes could scan through deceit through years of constant users and liars in his life using him for his riches and looks.
To be honest, Gojo felt a little relieved.
Since he was born in the Gojo clan he's been treated as royalty, this new fame of being a music artist also added to that meaning he forgot how it was to be treated normally. The boys and mostly Geto treated him like a human being. But that lady before gave him a small glimpse of a different reality. One he never knew.
A little part of Satoru hoped to see that woman again and was glad to see her go into the Company building, knowing there would be a chance for that to happen.
Also, it didn't help that she was rather cute to him. A natural beauty Gojo thought to himself as he couldn't detect any makeup on her face. He noticed her scar on the bridge of her nose, but that only added character to him, her lips were unusually red. He'd never seen that on any lady and was intrigued. A little laugh escaped Gojo's mouth as he slowly put his right hand on his head. Gojo heard his bodyguard call out from behind him. ''Why did you sprint off Gojo? You know you need me around whenever you are outside in public.'' said his bodyguard.
''I know but there weren't many people around. I slept without knowing it, and the guys tried to prank me again by leaving me behind.'' Gojo whined
''It's almost 8:30 we need to get you in for the meeting.''
''Yeah. Let's go.''

Utahime walked into Studio A as Yaga guided her through the room, it is the most enormous recording studio of JJK Records. The studio had red velvet walls that looked extremely soft, the ceilings had sparkly small chandelier lights hanging down. The lights shined dimly with hues of golden light gleaming on the recording booth. On the walls of the studio were pictures of artists at JJK Records, Utahime could not recognize any of them, but saw there was no picture of any groups on the walls. And she knew she would be assisting the company's new group.
Yaga noticed this, ''We've yet to take a photo of our new boy group, they've had no time to do so since they've been a huge hit, they've been everywhere.'' Yaga said simply.
''Oh that must be very hectic'' Utahime responded looking around the room in awe, it was prestige, Lori had never been anywhere like this. She started to feel nervous about doing this job, what if she wasn't good at it? Aside from baseball, office skills were all Lori had, she'd never really done a job like this before.
''Would that be a problem? Once you officially meet the group you'd be on the ground running. The following two weeks from today you'll be working non-stop'' Yaga responded with an open eye
''Not at all sir, I'm ready for the job,'' Utahime spoke confidently even though a part of her felt a dark pool of worridness. She'd be okay Utahime thought as she overcame hard training at baseball camp, waking up early in the dark hours of the morning, running laps until sunrise, and swinging her bat until her arms felt like they'd fall off.
This was nothing.
Utahime had yet to meet Masamichi Yaga beforehand but had heard a lot about him from Nitta, the Human resources manager at JJK Records when she was interviewed for the role. In Nitta's opinion, Yaga was a strict businessman, a man on the go with tunnel vision, but an incredible teacher who would oversee all the trainees. However, to Utahime he felt unreadable from the few moments she had spent since meeting him.
Yaga guided Utahime to sit down in a metallic chair opposite Yaga, a long glass table was placed between the two.
On the table, there were 7 schedules printed out for Utahime beforehand, 6 of the schedules were for each member individually for their solo activities and the 7th schedule was for group activities. Utahime eyed the group schedule with curiosity to see what she'd be doing. Iori knew that the group was a popular boy band, but she wasn't a fangirl for boy groups, solo artists were more of her thing. She could not get behind the idea of boy bands because they seemed superficial to her.
''For work, you must occupy the group and assist with wardrobe and styling, travel, transport and accommodation, rehearsals, organizing fan events and ticketing, & managing the group diaries. You will also be helping with preparations for their coming tour this summer to document and create video content & a tour documentary with the Media Team for the fans. Don't worry you will be working with the other departments and teams, but you'll just be there in person to assist with whatever the group needs. You are going to be around them 24/7.'' Yaga said strictly as he went on. Utahime clung to her black blazer trying to process all the new information Yaga was saying, she had changed into her work outfit of a black long suit, white crisp shirt, and black tie. After a few moments Iori could hear a bunch of male voices swearing like there was no tomorrow along with the hard sound of footsteps, she turned her head towards the door of Studio A in curiosity knowing the group would soon come through those doors.
'What sort of people would they be?'
'How will I keep my stamina up working overtime?'
'I wonder how long would it take to save enough money to train again?'
The door slammed open abruptly, striking lighting into Utahime's heart.
''It wasn't me that ate your stupid chicken Sukuna, you darn fool.''
''Yes, it was! I saw you Toji, and you too Gojo eating it together at 4 am after that party we all went to.''
''Who cares it's just chicken, you've got enough money to buy more. Stop acting like you're broke Sukuna.''
''Boss, your ass didn't have the same energy when they all ate your Sauerkraut Bread?''
''That's different, you're always eating other people's food Sukuna. Especially Choso's. You could have your food in front of you and you'd still be eating others food. I don't.''
''It's okay Nanami, I don't mind sharing he's my big bro, just like all of you.''
''I'm glad I ate your chicken, you're always behind every prank on me, you convince everyone to go with it. Geto how could you leave me sleeping in the car, my ass would have been late here if I didn't wake up on time.''
''So you don't say? I guess I like monkeying with you too much.''
Iori watched the group of strangers argue in front of her, she had hoped the group would be nice and professional, but before her was a group of babies arguing over chicken. That was such a guy thing to do but Lori never expected it. She guessed she had too much promise for the situation, it sucked because it seemed she would have to deal with a group who's loud & argues too much, which would be draining. They had not even noticed her standing there with Yaga as he cleared his throat to gain the group's attention but they were too in their world arguing to notice.
Iori's eyes squinted as her brain registered the familiar name and voice of one of the members. Her mind moved like an old clog in a clock machine recalling an old memory playing out in her head. The memory was of high school where she saw a pink spiky-haired delinquent breaking school property and vandalizing the school halls.
'Could it be' she thought.
Yaga snapped his fingers loudly to gain the attention of the group, who directly turned their gaze from Yaga to Utahime. Utahime took a good look at the hot pink-haired guy with the black Gucci cap on and a light bulb went off, she knew she had known the guy but never expected him to be in a boy band. Ryomen Sukuna had gone to the same high school as Lori Utahime in Kyoto for 1 whole year before getting expelled, he was in her class (Class 1-A) but they never really talked. They were acquaintances however Sukuna had helped Iori out when she was getting bullied by a bunch of girls by scaring them off, she'd always remembered that. Despite being in a gang and having a criminal record, he did stick up for those who were being bullied.
Sukuna's blood-red eyes shot wide open after landing his eyes on Utahime, it took him an instant to remember her, he recalled her crying with short blackish-purple hair and baggy uniform hanging down her body, always alone with no friends. Most people thought she was a guy.
'He wouldn't remember me, I doubt it' Iori thought.
''Aye? Ain't you that Utahime chick? We went to high school together remember? We were in that trashy class 1-A'' Sukuna grunted bearing out his huge canine teeth with a cold smile, he walked over to Lori gruffly as the other members looked in confusion.
Gojo, however, stood with no emotion. A few minutes ago he had run into a natural beauty that didn't give a damn about him, excitment crept in his veins. The next second he finds out she's the new personal assistant of the group, which stuns him before a hint of discontent shines through Gojo after learning Sukuna knows this girl.
What were the odds that Sukuna would know her to address her on a first-name basis Gojo thought to himself? Plus she didn't even seem to notice himself just Sukuna, she hadn't looked Gojo's way once leaving him to feel a little annoyed. He was waiting for her reaction to seeing him, his intuition knew she would be annoyed or displeased based on how she acted before. He wanted to see that annoyed face again.
Sukuna was getting in the way of that.
''Right, that's me. Ryomen Sukuna, it's nice to see you again. I'd never thought you'd be in a boy band.'' Utahime said calmly.
''I didn't think I'd be here myself, but I''mma a rapper and they pay me to rap so here I am.'' Sukuna laughed and Utahime gave a small giggle in return. She felt grateful to have a familiar face she'd be working with.
Sukuna had changed from what Iori remembered, he had always been muscular but now he was super ripped in his Gucci outfit and hat, he looked even taller than before and had a lot of face tattoos of some strange black markings. If she hadn't known Sukuna she would have felt afraid of him
A strong twitch came out of Gojo's left hand.
''Well, you two seem to know each other. That's great, it probably means you'd get along with everyone else. Boys, this is your new personal assistant, Iori Utahime. Please be nice and go easy on her.'' Yaga said putting a hand on Lori's left shoulder while presenting a hand to the other members.
Each member looked so different to Utahime, they all had different styles and vibes to them at first glance. One had long jet-black hair, and a chic aura and almost looked feminine, another member was super bulky. While the blond-haired one carried a classy mature vibe to him, next to him was a young one with pigtails who seemed rather timid.
Lastly, her eyes latched onto white snow-slivered hair and crystal aquamarine gems of eyes.
Oh no.
A sting of pain latched onto Utahime's back, throbbing like it had a mind of its own. Her luck just had to turn on her today, hadn't it?
Her attention was stolen away as the blond mature member assembled all the members for a proper introduction. ''In…1, 2, 3.'' he started confidently
On cue without missing a beat all the members chanted sweetly ''Hello, We are Sweet Debauchery.'' whilst winking in unison. Were they a host club Utahime thought to herself, an introduction shouldn't be so amorous, it felt like they were trying to seduce her or something. It was rather awkward in Utahime's opinion. However, Utahime could sense that snow winter-haired idiot's gaze was extra intense on her in comparison to the other members, a sly flirtatious grin crept up on his mouth once her brown eyes locked onto his.
She started to feel a bit irritated again.
The longer-haired raven member had grabbed Utahime's hand to introduce himself individually. He brought her hand upwards near his mouth before speaking, flashing a coy smile towards her.
''My name is Suguru Geto. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Utahime. I promise you that I and the guys will be on our best behavior when working with you.'' his voice was sweet with honey but Lori could detect a little deceitfulness, Geto leaned in to kiss Iori's knuckles. A small sharp gasp escaped her mouth from Geto's kiss, would she be dealing with another manchild? Who in their right mind introduces themselves to someone like that?
The raven-haired bulky figure with the sharp bangs interfered drastically, as Lori found him standing behind her out of nowhere sliding his chunky hand on her back. Utahime's body froze a little from the touch as she wasn't used to someone she didn't know (let alone a man) touching her like that. Before Utahime even fathomed to turn around, she found his mouth dangerously close to her right ear.
''Toji.'' he breathed in a low mutter causing Utahime's body to automatically move forward. It took everything for her not to lose her composure and blow a fuse, she forced herself to keep a professional poker face but the irritation kept boiling up like a kettle with hot water. Utahime didn't get the deal. Why were these guys too touchy & weird? First that white-haired freak, then that creepy guy thinking it's okay to grab strangers' hands to kiss them and now this guy whispering in her ears? Plus it didn't help that they were all taller than her, being five foot five sucked in comparison to these colossal men.
Why wasn't Yaga saying anything? Was he okay with them acting so unprofessional? Utahime tried to get his help by eyeing him for a signal, but Yaga was too busy on a call to intervene. Geto & Toji laughed at Utahime, causing her to let through a tiny scrawl before substituting it for a neutral resting face of her small smile. 'Remember Lori, the aim is to save to train for baseball and to help Mom and Dad.' Utahime repeated in her mind.
''It's okay doll, don't need to be afraid of those two. They're the biggest flirts in this group outside of Gojo. Let me know if they get too handsy I'd break their necks'' Sukuna says cracking his knuckles towards Geto and Toji with a crazed expression on his face, Toji just rolls his eyes while a polite apology leaves Geto's mouth. Gojo continued to stand behind quietly which was odd for him, he observed Utahime meeting the other members waiting for his turn to introduce himself. He popped a fresh pack of Mastika gum in his mouth and began to chew on it very slowly.
''Apologies Utahime. You see we are a boisterous bunch but don't worry I will keep them in check. My name is Kento Nanami, leader of Sweet Debauchery. It's nice to meet you.'' Nanami shook Utahime's hands, his hands were soft and his gaze felt kind & warm. Iori could tell she'd get along with him well, he seemed prim and structured at first glance, even by the way he talked.
''This is Choso Kamo, he's the youngest out of us all but very kind. However, he can be a bit shy at times with new people so please bear with him.'' Nanami gestured for Choso to introduce him but Choso only stood behind him shifting his face to look at Utahime to give a small wave.
''It's nice to meet you Choso.'' Utahime waved back & Choso returned a timid smile.
Toji, Geto, and Sukuna were bickering amongst themselves, Nanami nodded towards Gojo as a signal to introduce himself. The moment of truth was here, Iori felt so sad about this because she knew this guy would be a menace to society, she just knew he would give her hell and she hated being annoyed.
It took forever for him to walk towards her, why couldn't he be a normal person like this Nanami guy?
'No' Iori thought to herself. She couldn't let him agitate her, plus she barely knew the guy maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought. The same for Geto and Toji? She needed more time with them to judge their behavior.
Satoru strolled over to Utahime with his hands in his pockets, his head and purple squared sunglasses were down as he let a small chuckle leave his mouth. The sound of gum crackling with soft chewing left his mouth, Utahime could see a glimpse of his slender tongue peeking through his chewing, his jaw elongated with every movement bringing out Satoru's defined jaw.
''Hello…It's nice to meet you. I'm Satoru Gojo.''
No trace of mockery could be found in his voice, instead, he sounded suave and serious. Iori had no access to his eyes so she couldn't tell what he was thinking which annoyed her a little. Why did she care? He's a looney idiot. Gojo leaned downwards and presented a hand towards Utahime. Just like he did before when they had first met a few moments ago. The sweet smell of peppermint that came from Gojo soothed Utahime's nose.
Utahime took her time to take Gojo's hand, his large hand engulfed her own like a glove fitting a hand. She felt his hand slowly caress her skin making Iori a little tense for an instant, before bracing it with a professional squeeze to seal the handshake. After taking a deep breath, Utahime reached the depth of her soul to pull out the fakest smile known to man spread wide on her lips.
''Nice to meet you, Gojo. I'm Iori Utahime.''
—
After the introduction, Yaga took another 20 minutes to brief Utahime on her job and the group's schedule. For the next 2 weeks, everything had already been set up for the group's schedules thanks to the old personal assistant
Yumi, before she left the role. That meant Utahime had some time to adjust to the role before she was thrown to the deep end. However, she had to make sure everything on the schedules went accordingly which is still difficult in itself to do.
The next schedule on the list for Sweet Deubachery is a performance at Tokyo POP Station, the biggest music channel in Japan with over 5 million viewers on average for each live broadcast. The group took a separate limousine to travel to the Station with their bodyguards, while Lori took a cab alone on the phone to the live broadcast team checking if all technical preparations were a go for the performance. She already felt a little stressed out with how fast everything was going but did her best to keep her composure.
''That cute little thing looked so threatened of us. We've never had a personal assistant like that before.'' Geto laughed before taking a long sip of his Ice Americano drink.
''It's quite interesting too, her little ass couldn't stand being near me. I'm glad Yaga decided to hire someone who didn't know of us. I couldn't go to the bathroom without Yumi being around me, and the last personal assistant before her was so suffocating.'' Toji grunted closing his eyes as he leaned his head backward spreading his legs open in a lazy manner.
''Plus she's the finest personal assistant we've had so far. Even with that huge ass scar.'' Toji added on.
''You think so? In high school she always wore a big ass baggy uniform, I thought she was a guy for most of the school year.'' Sukuna groaned eating a bag of chips.
Gojo threw a bottle of water at Sukuna's head and Sukuna chucked it right back, Nanami sighed at the boy's antics as he read the newspaper checking out the current events of today. He didn't have time for this foolishness and was rather tired.
''What sort of dumbass doesn't know someone's a girl? Especially with the way you were cheesing over her today like a thirsty animal?'' Gojo chewed harshly on his gum laughing at Sukuna as he lifted his sunglasses to mock his bandmate.
''Thirsty! You wanna talk about thirsty? Your ass looked mad as hell when Toji and Geto were teasing her ass, you would have gone haywire if I'd made a move too, you dickhead. Popping gum in your mouth to cool you down, like be for real.'' Sukuna cursed now taking a sip of his Black Americano drink. Geto and Choso snickered loudly causing Gojo to throw a water bottle at both of them.
''Geto! You're supposed to be on my side, you're my BFL, (Brother For Life). Choso I'm your big brother how can you laugh at me.'' Gojo yelled, ''I laughed because I love you Oni-chan'' Choso responded cheekly.
''I am on your side Satoru, but he's right you looked quite besotted by her back there. I am surprised because Utahime isn't the type you'd usually go for. Anyways you can't even if you wanted to you're on thin ice after what happened with Yumi.'' Geto muttered his elbow on his knee placing a hand on his chin.
''Would you stop using fancy words Suguru, you never tell us the meaning wanting us to find out ourselves, we're not walking dictionaries here.'' Gojo moaned sticking his tongue out. "Well if you weren't an ignoramus maybe you'd understand me" Geto rebutted causing Gojo to groan even louder saying he didn't understand "Geto's English".
''Just ask Nanami, he's the only one besides Geto with a brain for that crap,'' Toji said with his eyes still closed.
''That's correct,'' Nanami said folding up his newspaper swiftly before turning to Gojo.
''You can have fun with any other girl outside of our 'Darlings' and Utahime. You almost got caught last time by Yaga regarding your situationship with Yumi, I had to save you and make up a lie. Please do not make me go through that madness again.'' Nanami complained.
''Yes, boss.'' Gojo groaned pulling his sunglasses downwards to cover his eyes. Satoru hated this, it's not that he liked Utahime he just found her interesting. She is like a rare species of woman, he wanted to unravel her like a gift box to see what was underneath. If she ever gave him the green light to get with her he wouldn't deny her despite not being allowed to. He'd just hide it and force Utahime to secrecy. But a bleak thought ran through his mind, by the way, she hated him would she ever want to entice that idea? Well, every woman couldn't turn him down, he is too handsome, hot, and sexy for that. Women would drop their clothes off for him without him doing any work. Since Utahime was a bit different, if Satoru took the time to woo Utahime she'd be his luxury-size bed in no time. Yep, that is what he'd do, It would be his little secret.
—
After a 30-minute call, Utahime had finished getting everything prepared with the technical team for the live performance. Sweet Debauchery was going to perform their hit song ''U Calling My Name'', and she had to make sure the lighting, audio, and microphones were all working and ready to use. Lori gave herself a pat on the back feeling proud of the small accomplishment, although she made a mental note to double-check all the equipment before the group went on stage just in case anything happened. Her next focus now was on getting the group into the Station building, Yaga informed her that the group's fanbase was astronomical but crazy, therefore they'd have bodyguards for protection. The fandom's name is Darlings, the name was chosen to showcase the group's love for their fans. The rule here is to only collect letters, and gifts such as plushies, fan banners, etc. but food, clothing, jewelry, flowers, and any liquids could not be accepted to protect the members.
Once a fan gave their group's first personal assistant a bottle full of period blood to give to Toji as a declaration of her love for him. She believed giving him a piece of her blood would make them soulmates. You see the fan thought she was a "curse user" who could curse Toji into her secret lover. When Toji learned of this fact he couldn't eat for a week straight. Another fan sent Gojo her underwear with pictures of her in it and she was underage. The minute Gojo saw this he burned it, threw it in the bin, and informed HR about it. He became strict with every gift he got from his 'Darlings'.
Nanami received an engagement ring from a fan who proclaimed she'd quit her job if he said no, forcing him to send her a sweet rejection video convincing her not to do so. He proposed a free VIP ticket to 3 of the group 1st world concerts which would happen this summer if she obliged (which she thankfully did). Geto had three fans gift him with flowers that had cameras installed in them which were watching him, thankfully he caught onto it but left him feeling a little paranoid. Sukuna's Darlings sent him his favorite food chicken-fingered ramen which gave him food poisoning for 2 weeks straight, he couldn't attend schedules due to this so Toji covered all his rapping parts.
Lastly, Choso was given gifts of pacifiers and powdered milk as his Darlings saw him as a baby, Choso didn't like this but they knew he liked the taste of powdered milk. He almost got poisoned by it but thanks to Sukuna he was saved.
After that, the rule came into place. Learning of this knowledge from Yaga freaked Utahime out, she never knew fans could be THAT crazy to send those things. What happened to the usual fan letter or 'thank you'? Did no one do that anymore? The sound of loud cheering and female screams could now be heard by Utahime in the cab, the wheels vibrated from the loud stomps of the crowd that came into Iori's vision. She could hear a multitude of words being yelled out from the following:
''WHERE OuR MY BAbiES`! My BabYGiRLs!?''
"I hope they tease new music! Spoilers! Something! Sukuna my spoiler king give us some food! I NEED it!
''What if Suguru styles his hair today? I'm gonna go FERAL!''
''I swear if JJK Records doesn't give the group proper security this time, I will mass email the damn company myself. #JJKRecordsTreatSweetDebaucheryBetter! Yaga needs to do his damn job! I'm tired of this!''
''Give Sukuna and Toji more lines & raps. They have the vocals LET THEM BOYS SING! Everyone in this group is eating CDs''
''Choso is SO baby girl! I CAN'T. I'm hyperventilating!''
''Toji BETTER give me one chance today! I SWEAR if he doesn't''
''I'm losing the IDGAF war Komi. I thought I'd be fine by pretending I didn't care to lose my cool, but if Kento ever so looks in my direction! It's OVER!''
''I'm telling you RIGHT NOW the cameras don't do Satoru justice, he's ethereal on the screen but you have to see him in person! It just HITS differently in real life! You don't understand me!''
Utahime starred in awe of how crazy the fans sounded, she got people to like celebrities but this was at another level.
She never knew fandom culture and fangirls could be this chaotic. And this group was just a few months old. The cab stopped at the edge of the street where a pathway led to the Station building. The Darlings were all lined up on each side of the pathway screeching in anticipation for the group. Fans from behind were pushing each other to get a good view, while other fans were arguing with each other regarding holding banners as they would block the view of other Darlings. Utahime could also see a lot of fans holding some sticks in their hands with a love heart shaped at the top of the stick which lit up in different colors, the color that shined the most was a light blue. The banners and signs read along the lines of ''Satoru Gojo's baby momma'', and ''Nanami is DADDY.'' ''Sell me for 1 yen to Toji!'' ''Geto's 3rd Wife'' ''I can be your mother Choso!'' & ''Free Sukuna!''
Free Sukuna?
Free him from what?
Utahime held back a laugh at the free Sukuna banner holding a hand to her mouth while shaking her head. This wasn't the time to laugh she had to prepare for the crowd out here and needed to be ready to work with the boys. She took another look at the huge crowd and saw some more banners saying words along the lines of ''We love your music!'' ''No.1 Darling'', ''The Best Group'', & ''GIVE US A ALBUM!, WE NEED YOUR MUSIC''. Those fans wore pink t-shirts with different members' faces on them.
A breath of relief left Iori's mouth, she'd been glad to see some fans who were tame and here for the music.
''Are you ready Miss?'' The cab driver muttered calmly.
Iori snapped out of her thoughts responding to the driver before opening the cab door.
This wasn't going to be easy.
However, Iori had no idea how crazy it would be.
