The eyes of the innocent hold the most demons - Itadori Yuji x Reader

Chapter 26

"Makes sense. Oh. We're here." You say.

You and Yuji headed to where Gojo Sensei had told you to meet him prior. Yet he had no clue the two of you snuck off campus. By yourselves.

You went inside the campus and figured out where Gojo was. Yuji decided to just pop out from behind a pillar and start talking.

"Ah Sensei! Let's hurry to where everyone is!" Yuji beams in excitement.

"Yuji... could it be that you're planning on showing up normally?" Gojo says.

You snickered at the statement.

"Eh, I can't?" Yuji says, sighing in defeat.

"Even if you're an exorcist, it's not normal to find out your dead friend turned out to be alive 2 months later. You gotta do a surprise!" Gojo says.

"Surprise..." Yuji says in confusion.

"Leave it to me. The first years would cry laughing from the astonishment. And the second years and folks from Kyoto would get caught up crying too! Surely someone will start vomiting, and in the end the global warming will get solved." Gojo explains.

"Sounds nice!" Yuji says.

"Sounds a bit excessive." I say.

"Y/N. Where'd the Phoenix come from?" Gojo asks.

"Oh. This? I somehow summoned it. Well, it's Futsunushi's but still." You reply.

"Hmm. This could come in handy." Gojo contemplates.

"What do I do? Sensei, what do I do?" Yuji asks, trying and failing to contain his excitement.

"You don't have to do anything! Just do what I tell you!" Gojo says, playing in to Yuji's excitement.

"So what do I have to do?" Yuji asks.

Gojo didn't respond and the three of you then left your meeting area and headed out to where everyone was located. You followed behind Gojo while he pushed a cart that Yuji was in.

"Sorry for the waaait!" Gojo says, bringing the cart to a halt.

It was quite the scene. Gojo pushing Yuji in a cart. You hiding behind Gojo. Your Phoenix flying above the three of you.

"Gojo Satoru." Iori Utahime grumbled in annoyance.

"Gojo Satoru." Miwa said in a daze.

"Hey hey, seems everyone's around. I was on a business trip overseas, you see." Gojo said.

"He just started talking." Panda mumbled.

"Here, souvenirs. A protective charm from some kinda tribe for the folks from Kyoto. Nothing for Utahime." Gojo says, handing out souvenirs.

"I don't want it!" Utahime says, an irk mark on her forehead.

"And for the Tokyo folk's there's two surprises!" Gojo says.

"It's so weird to see an adult excited." Panda sighs.

"H-hello." You say, stepping out from behind Gojo.

"Y/N?!" Nobara says in shock.

"Who's the Phoenix?" Megumi asks.

"Mine." You reply, looking at the floor.

"So you're a Shikigami user?" Megumi says in annoyance.

"N-no. Not really. It's not mine. It's Futsunushi's but I can summon it." You explain.

"Oh. Ok." Megumi says.

Then Nobara comes up to you and slaps you upside the head.

"Hey! What was that for?!" You say, rubbing your head.

"For making us think you were dead! You disappear for 2 months and then show up out of nowhere. We thought we lost you and Yuji." Nobara says.

"Nobara..." You say, looking down out of guilt.

"Now. For the other surprise. The one. The only. It's Itadori Yuji himself!" Gojo says.

Everyone went silent.

"Eh?" Yuji says.

"They're not happy at all! The Kyoto folks are entranced by the souvenirs!" Yuji thinks, sighing in annoyance.

"Sukuna and Futsunushi's host? How can this be..." the director for the Kyoto school says.

"Director. Hey~ I'm glad, I'm glad. I was getting worried that you might get too surprised and die on me." Gojo teases.

"You damn brat!" The director replies.

"Hey." Nobara says, placing her foot on the side of the cart Yuji was stood in.

"Ah, yes." Yuji says, not really knowing what else to say.

"Got something to say to me?" Nobara says, clearly on the verge of crying.

"Eh?" Yuji says.

"I'm sorry I kept it a secret." He paused. "That I was alive." He finished.
