You'll Never Walk Alone

A/N: this chapter and forward will contain manga spoilers!!

Less than 24 hours, the structure of the jujutsu society has crumbled, leaving uncertainty in the air for sorcerers and clan leaders to snatch and take control. They all knew they could manipulate the information to the public so people can favor their side. It's going to be an uncivil dispute especially when the three major clans currently reign high. The tensions will be soaring.

An emergency meeting with all clans immediately took place. Everyone knew you killed them. Your residuals were left behind as if you wanted to get caught. Sorcerers in the room were against you, creating false claims that didn't suit your character or made any sense. Fires were being shot left and right while they released their pent up anger.

However, Gojo interjected to stop them from going off the rail. He knew well they were exaggerating at this point. Majority of them never even met you, and even if they did, you were a child compared to now. Gojo couldn't listen as it hurt him since you're his student. He knew you the best and watched you grow up like a father to a child.

"Enough!!" Gojo shouted, causing the whole room to go quiet for the first time. Nobody could shut up once they stepped foot in the tense meeting. Who can blame them when it was provoked out of nowhere? They didn't understand what led you to do this and where things went wrong? "You all are spouting nonsense! It could be a possible answer, but do you guys actually know y/n like I do? She's not that type of kid. She's sensitive and has been through a lot before she knew she was of Kameko's descent! There must be a valid reason for her to do that—"

Someone scoffed at him. "Oh please! What's a valid reason to kill the higher ups?! They haven't done anything to deserve this! You're just covering this up because we all know you hated them."

The table turned against Gojo as he's the scapegoat while everyone stared daggers at him. This would be a good reason to bring down the Gojo Clan since this got political and personal in a flash. The Gojo members kept a calm and collected face while they were sweating from the inside. They didn't think it would've resulted like this.

"You probably manipulated y/n to do your dirty work because you hold a reputation! You want your clan to be the best because you were born with the strongest ability." One accused Gojo as more sorcerers joined in.

Gojo let their fiery arrows stab his back. He didn't care because he knew it wasn't true. They're just saying things because they're mad and want someone to blame than actually understand why this happened. Gojo clasped his hands tightly together as his voice growled like a dog showing its prowess to scare off people. "You guys all wanna make this about clans when it's clearly not! It's about figuring why y/n killed the higher ups! Not who convinced her. We can all point fingers because we don't know each other's activities. I can lie and say that the Zenin Clan had secret meetings with her and fabricated evidence. How stupid is everyone?!"

Underneath the heat, Gojo wondered if his words ever caused you stress. I know I have told y/n about how much I hate the higher ups, but I never persuade her to do anything. I made her know she had a choice what to think about the system she's growing in... Y/n, where are you?

Then the topic changed to Sukuna.

"How is it possible that Sukuna obtained his own body? There's no way he can separate himself from his vessel."

Everyone in the room had a hard time swallowing this information down. Nothing made sense when it should. Sorcerers even tried pointing fingers at Yuji saying he should've been executed or else this wouldn't have happened, still shifting the blame onto the Gojo Clan.

"If Yuji did betray us, then why is he still here? He would've run away but he didn't." Gojo defended Yuji as he was getting tired of hearing his students get relentlessly attacked. No matter what happens, Gojo doesn't believe it's your fault for killing them. You have your reasons and maybe you were just scared to let people know about them. He will protect you at any cost.
