Satoru hums the most obnoxious melody he can think of as he walks into the meeting room. He slides the door open and waves his hand. "Yo!" he greets to the group of sorcerers. Looks like most of Jujutsu High and the Kyoto school is here. Not surprising, considering the shit that went down last night.
"You're late!" Utahime yells, glaring at him from across the room.
Satoru blinks behind his blindfold. Utahime is wearing her normal attire. Traditional priestess robes. Does Kagome own a pair? She said she was raised on that shrine so maybe? Either way, he'd love to see Kagome in some traditional clothes. Something about the modesty of them and knowing what lurks underneath makes him want to rush back to the shrine.
"Gojo-sensei?" Yuji asks.
"Huh? What's up?" He smiles even though he would prefer to be back with Kagome and Koushi. There's so much he wants to know about his kid. So much he wants to ask Kagome. Like does she still enjoy having her hair pulled? Does she want to shop for all new furniture for the new apartment? He's confident that they'll get it.
"You're later than usual," Yaga sighs, pulling Satoru out of his musings. "But now that everyone is here, we can discuss what happened last night."
"The cursed painting is still out there," Satoru says, crossing his arms. He leans back against the wall, opting to stand. "Not sure how many other curse users were in on it."
"That's the problem," Yaga says, clenching his fists. "The attack was too organized. It's a good thing you were around, though I suspect they must have been planning for you to be occupied."
The others nod in agreement. Nanami's jaw ticks. Ino blows out a breath. The Kyoto students, minus Todo, seem more rattled than his students. Yuta clenches his fists while Maki leans against him.
"They planned to seal me," Satoru admits. A hush descends on the room before it erupts into a chorus of confusion, with Yuji being the loudest one. "Something was inside of…" he presses his lips together. "Something took over Suguru's body."
"WHAT?"
"What do you mean, took over?" Gakuganji says in that old croaky voice of his. He grips his cup of tea, because it's always tea, and stares right at Satoru.
"Like I said." Satoru shrugs. "I gave Suguru's body to the twins he took in after that night. Something must have gotten ahold of the body before they could cremate him. Whatever it was. Whoever it was, was most likely the mastermind. The other special grades followed its lead."
"That's…. troublesome," Yaga mutters.
"Uh sensei?" Yuji interjects. "How could they seal you?"
"Tried to seal me." He wags a finger in the air. "Don't worry, I destroyed it." That's a lie. He still has the box along with Sukuna's other fingers that volcano curse had on him.
The room goes silent once more. The atmosphere is heavy. Seems like no one has any additional information to add. No clues. That thing. That brain inside of Suguru was most likely the mastermind behind everything, but Satoru isn't 100 percent for certain. Problem is that cursed painting is still out there and it knows about Kagome and Koushi.
He needs to find it and exorcise it before it attempts to go after Kagome and Koushi.
"Now what?" Yaga asks. He inhales and then lets out a sigh.
"We may need to devote time to rounding up curse users, if possible," Gakuganji says. "Though that might be difficult with the number of cures that will be created from last night—"
Satoru blinks. Koushi?
"There's a baby floating," Yuji exclaims.
"We can see that idiot," Nobara retorts.
Koushi stretches out his hands. Satoru shakes his head and takes Koushi into his arms. He sniffs. Phew. No dirty diaper at least. Though judging from Koushi's light blue onesie with paw prints, Kagome must have given Koushi a bath.
"Whose child is that?" Yaga asks.
"Funny story," Satoru says with a laugh, turning Koushi around, so he's facing the group. "This is my son."
"WHAT!"
Koushi grunts and swings his arms around. Oof. Okay. Koushi did not like that.
"Who would sleep with you?" Utahime remarks.
"Rude," Satoru scoffs. He opens his mouth and then closes it. Oh shit. Kagome is probably freaking out right now. He fishes his phone out of his pocket and searches for her name. "Anyway, this is Koushi and he—"
"Holy shit," Shoko says, leaning forward. She squints at Koushi, as she tilts her head to the side. The bags under her eyes are more prominent today. "He has the six eyes."
"And limitless," Satoru quips, as he types a message to Kagome with one hand, letting her know Koushi is with him.
"That's impossible," Gakuganji says.
"Doesn't look like it to me," Yuki quips, walking over. She stands next to Shoko and assesses Koushi. "But how did he manage that when only one person can have it at a time?"
Koushi babbles.
"Not sure about that, but he has a tendency to teleport these days," Satoru blows out a breath. Is Koushi going to teleport to him now whenever he feels like it? His blood pressure rises. He's been a dad for less than 24 hours and he's already stressed out.
"He's cute," Yuji says with a smile. Koushi turns his head and reaches for Yuji. Satoru shrugs and hands Koushi over to Yuji. "Wow Gojo-sensei, he looks just like you."
"Naturally. He likes it when you make funny faces at him."
"Huh? Okay," Yuji chirps. He blows out his cheeks and widens his eyes. Koushi laughs and smacks Yuji in the face. Yuji goes flying.
Fuck!
Satoru rushes over, but Koushi teleports in front of him. Oh, thank Kami. Satoru lets out a sigh of relief. He thought Koushi went flying into the wall too.
"Don't scare me like that," Satoru chastises, but Koushi grabs a hold of his blindfold and pulls it down.
Ijichi wails in the background. Megumi says something, but Satoru can't make out what Megumi is saying with Ijichi crying.
"Brother!" Todo shouts, rushing forward. "Were you playing pretend?"
"Uhhhhh, no." Yuji struggles to his feet. Debris is all over the floor. On his face is a bright red smoking hand print. Yuji winces as he clutches at his heart. "That hit Sukuna too…somehow."
Satoru's eyebrows shoot up. He Koushi out in front of him. "Are you like your mama?" he coos. Satoru huffs. "Ijichi, knock it off."
Ijichi sniffles.
Koushi babbles in response. Satoru takes that as a yes. Yuki presses her face closer to Koushi. Satoru frowns.
"Back up," he says flatly.
Yuki blinks and then holds her hands out in front of her. "Sorry, just curious is all. Yuji, you said that slap hit Sukuna too?"
Yuji nods. "Hurt him more." His eyebrows furrow together. "Not sure how to describe it. Like it touched his soul, but not even that patched face curse could do that, and his whole thing was messing with souls."
Yuki whips her head back toward Koushi, who lets out a yawn and snuggles further into Satoru's arms. Must be nap time.
"That's incredible! And he's already teleporting. That's unheard of."
"He is my son." Satoru snorts. Of course, his son is incredible. He's the strongest. It's only natural he'd have super sperm too.
"I'd love to—"
"No," he replies. Something tells him Kagome would lose it if Yuki tried to run some tests on Koushi. "I need to get him back home to his mother." And he might rip Yuki's head off if she so much as makes Koushi cry.
"What clan is she from?" Gakuganji asks, face blank.
Satoru rolls his shoulders back. "She isn't." He glances down at Koushi. Huh. Fast asleep already? Koushi's small fingers grip his shirt. Satoru tugs. No budge. His heart is lighter. Koushi must not want him out of his sight. "We should focus on what occurred last night and prevent something like that from occurring again."
Gakuganji's left eye twitches. "We can do both. The birth of another six eyes user goes against the normal order of things. Does this only apply to the Gojo clan or does this apply to other clans? What if curse users discover there is a loophole?"
"I believe this is a Koushi exclusive…event," Yuki says. "There's some other kind of energy he has, but I can't tell what it is." She looks at Satoru. "With your eyes, I'm sure you have a better understanding."
Satoru hums. That is none of her business and not relevant to the discussion at hand. "Disrespectfully, this is Gojo clan business."
Shoko coughs. Gakuganji's face goes as white as Ijichi's shirt. Yaga sighs and rubs his temple. The others look at one another while Nanami nods his head in agreement.
"If we don't have anything else to discuss, then I'm going to drop Koushi back off to his mother."
Yaga nods his head. "Go ahead. There isn't anything else we can do right now besides carry on with our current missions. Luckily, this was relatively contained, and the government has covered it up as best they can."
"Good," Satoru quips. "Oh Megumi, with me."
Megumi scowls, but follows him. Satoru whistles at the mess on the other side. Koushi really knocked Yuji into the hall with that slap. Kagome must be far stronger than she looks or Koushi isn't slapping her around like he does him…or Yuji.
"What did I do?" Megumi asks after they are further away from the meeting room. The Jujutsu grounds are quiet.
"Nothing. Figured you'd want to meet your new mom," Satoru teases.
"You're my benefactor, not my dad," Megumi grumbles, turning his head away.
"Either way, I know you're curious."
"Is there something special about him?" Megumi glances at Koushi, who is still gripping Satoru's shirt.
"Naturally."
"Is this going to cause issues with the other clans?"
"Potentially." Satoru shrugs. "I'm sure the Zenins will be pissed since there are now two six eyes and limitless users in the Gojo clan and they don't have their precious ten shadows user in the clan."
"I want to meet her," Megumi says after a moment. Satoru smiles and throws an arm around Megumi. "Wait!"
"Too late," Satoru laughs as the Jujutsu grounds fade away and they warp to the Higurashi shrine. He knocks on the door and bounces on his feet as he waits for Kagome.
"Warn me next time," Megumi complains.
"Yeah. Yeah." Satoru grins. The door opens, and he forgets to breathe.
"Koushi!" Kagome greets, tugging the white robe tighter around her body. She reaches for Koushi, but even in his sleep, he won't let go of Satoru's shirt. "Koushi." Kagome pouts and then glances over at Megumi. "Oh? Hi?"
"Megumi, this is Gojo Kagome," Satoru says.
"Higurashi," Kagome replies as she tries to take Koushi from his arms, but Koushi only grips his shirt tighter.
"Gojo."
She sighs. "We're not married. It's Higurashi. Just like Koushi is Higurashi."
"Eh…he'll be a Gojo and you'll be a Gojo."
Kagome huffs. "Anyway. Hi Megumi-kun. Are you one of his students?"
"Unfortunately."
"Don't be rude, Gumi."
"How'd he trick you into giving him a kid?"
"Trick?" Kagome frowns. "Satoru didn't have to trick me. Or bribe me." She glances at him and blushes. "Did you want to come in?"
"We'd love to," Satoru quips. "Doesn't look like Koushi plans on releasing me anytime soon, and Megumi doesn't have missions today."
"I do have a mission."
"Guess you didn't have any time to do any shopping yet," Satoru continues, ignoring Megumi's gripes. "We should stop by the clan compound sooner than later, since Koushi decided to spill the beans."
"Just let me get dressed and get another bag prepared. Ayumi was going to stop by and drop off the bag, but I'll just tell her to leave it at the door." Kagome turns and looks at Megumi. "Will you be going with us?"
Megumi sighs. "I guess so."
"You're practically a Gojo too," Satoru says. "Been around us more than the Zenins."
"I'd prefer to be left alone."
Satoru laughs. "Actually, there's something I need to talk to you about," he says to Kagome, taking a step toward her. "Megumi, wait here."
Kagome glances around him. "You can make yourself comfortable. There are snacks in the cabinets if you're hungry." She crooks her finger and motions for Satoru to follow her up the stairs.
Damn.
Her ass is fatter. Satoru sucks in a breath. He can go one minute without wanting to pounce on her. He's not some heathen.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Kagome asks, as she slides open the closet. Satoru looks around the room. The bed is a bit small for two. He walks over to the dresser and picks up a picture of Koushi. "Satoru?"
"Was this when he was born?" He holds up the picture.
"Yeah, he came out with a head full of hair." Kagome shrugs out of the robe, tossing it on to the bed behind her. "But that's not what you wanted to talk to me about." She slides on a simple yellow dress.
"I…" He swallows. "Wanted to ask if you were capable of healing."
"Are you sick?"
"Sick in love?"
Kagome snorts. "You're getting lust and love mixed up." She fusses with the straps. "There's always some kind of gimmick to these," she says, "and it's always a pain to get them on."
"Gimmick?"
"Flaps so I can breastfeed Koushi without taking everything off."
"That's…a wonderful invention. Truly." He blows out a breath and sets the picture back on the dresser where it was. "I was asking because Tsumiki, Megumi's sister, has been in a coma. It's curse related and we can't seem to break whatever it is. I figured since you did the impossible with destroying one of Sukuna's fingers, then maybe you could also help Tsumiki. If you want," he adds.
"That's awful! Of course, I'll take a look and see what I can do. Poor Megumi." She frowns. "Are we going now or?"
"After. Let's deal with the clan and then go from there. And speaking of family, when do I get to meet my mother-in-law?"
Kagome blinks. "Mom and Gramps will be back later this week. They do a lot more traveling these days. Sota is in America, but he might be coming by to visit. He did fly back home to meet Koushi."
Satoru beams. He smiles so hard, his face hurts.
"What?" Kagome crosses her arms.
"Oh, nothing."
A/N: Sorry! Last week was rough. Long story short, I'll be homeschooling my preschooler for idk how long. I promise the How To Tame chapter is coming. My brain just needed something light to write after last week. I got the cover back for my original serial so that was one good thing that happened. Just need to stockpile some more chapters before I start releasing that.
Hope you are having an awesome Wednesday and that March is being kind to you. Stay safe. Take care of yourself. And make sure you are doing things that refill your well.
Please accept this preview of Wish I Could as an apology and thank you for checking up on me!:
"Kagome," Suguru calls. "Come lie on Satoru's back."
Satoru glares over his shoulder, but Suguru quirks a brow, challenging him to do something. Kinda hard to do something with a cock in his ass though.
"Don't listen to him," Satoru says. "You can lie down in front of me." He wets his lips, pleading with her to do just that. He needs to see her. Needs to taste her.
Needs Suguru to stop trying to monopolize her.
"I asked first." Suguru grips his hips and slams into him.
Fuckkk. Satoru breathes out his mouth. Kagome bites her lip as she approaches. She swings her legs over and uses Satoru like a chair.
He groans. Suguru is always hogging Kagome. Whatever happened to sharing is caring or whatever?
"Good girl," Suguru praises. "Now lie back and touch yourself." He snaps his hips and Satoru squeezes his eyes shut.
This is bullshit.
"Like this?" Kagome murmurs.
"Shit yeah," Suguru breathes. "Baby, you're so wet."
Satoru turns his head, but he can't see shit, and this is complete and utter bullshit. Suguru is a dick. He wants to see Kagome too.
"Give me your fingers, I wanna taste," Suguru commands. He hums. Suguru's cock twitches while Satoru's balls tighten.
This is bullshit. This is bullshit. This is bullshit. He chants to himself, gnashing his molars.
"Kagome, please," he begs as his body rocks forward. Suguru's fingers dig into his hips. "Kagome, please." He's whining now.
She slides off his back. "What is it, Satoru?"
"Ride me," he says.
Suguru scoffs as he pulls out. He slaps Satoru's ass. "Turn over, brat."
Satoru sighs as he does that. He reaches for Kagome and urges her to climb on him. His cock twitches. So close and yet so far away from what he wants.
"You're so needy," Kagome breathes, gripping his cock with one hand as she eases down on his length. Her eyes roll back. "Fuck. Satoru you're so…"
Suguru tugs Kagome's head back by her hair, forcing her body to arch as he sinks his cock into Satoru's ass.
"He is needy," Suguru agrees. "But so am I."
