Unexpected Variable (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Chapter 5: Blue Eyes

White hair and blue eyes.  There in front of her in a school uniform was none other than Gojo Satoru.

She sniffled as she looked into the deep crystal blue eyes.  No, it seemed like the eyes itself where the blue sky.

"Why are you alone?  Are you lost?" Gojo asked curious why she was alone.  Normally he wouldn't care, but he wanted to see this kid up close, to see if maybe he was mistaken at what he saw.

But he was never wrong.  After all he's the strongest and best at what he does.  And his eyes would never lie and fail him.

Shina knew she could trust him, so she nodded, "Lost.  Mama, Papa, Yuuji." Her eyes watered again.

Gojo wasn't good with children, especially crying children at that, "Do you know where you last saw them?" He asked.

Once again, she nodded, "Food."

'Ah, the food court.' He thought to himself, "Hey kiddo, you're pretty far from there you know that."

She shook her head.

"How did you get all the way over here?"

Shina raised her hand and rubbed at her eyes, "People push."

Gojo stood up from his crouched position and looked down at her.  "Do you want me to take you there?"

Shina frowned for a few seconds, then she nodded, "Shina."

"Hm." Gojo was confused for a few seconds, "Oh, your names Shina-chan."

Shina nodded in confirmation, she looked up at him expecting him to say more.  At seeing her expression, he smirked.

"Satoru.  Gojo Satoru." He introduced himself, "Now let's get you to your parents." He began to walk, expecting her to be behind him.  But when he turned around to look behind him, he saw that she was lagging behind.

Her short legs couldn't keep up with his longer legs taking long strides, compared to hers.

Gojo side and headed back towards her and picked her up.

Shina let out a small gasp but said nor did anything in protest.  She let him pick her up and awkwardly held her letting her chin rest against his shoulder.

After getting a good grip on her, he began to walk towards the food court, and she leaned her chin against his shoulder, her head slightly leaning against his ear.

Shina noticed that there were too many people and worried that they might not find her family among them all.  But then she remembered that she was with the strongest jujutsu sorcerer.

It didn't take them long to find the food court.  The scent of all the food was enough to let them know that they were in the right location.

"Gojo.  Thank you." She muttered out as best she could, though there was still a very noticeable lisp to her words.

Gojo hummed, "You're welcome, Shina-chan."

"Shina!" A voice could be heard yelling out, "Shina!" The voice was much closer.

Shina lifted her head from Gojo's shoulder and looked behind her and saw her father running towards them, followed by Yuuji and their mother.

Though their mother faltered in her steps for a few seconds before her fast walk, turned into a slower one.

Shina was sure, she noticed who Gojo was.

"Shina where were you?" Her father said as he reached for Shina.

Gojo stretched his hands out handing her to her father, who quickly scooped her up in his arms.

"She was lost.  She was crying down there by one of the shops, I happen to pass by since I was going to enter the shop, she was near at." Gojo said with ease, "She told me that her mama, papa and Yuuji were in the food court."

Shina held onto her father, "I'm sorry." She said loud enough for both men to hear, "Not Yuuji fault." She continued, "I let go." She hiccupped.

"Thank you for bringing her here to us." Jin thanked Gojo, "Thank you.  What can we do to repay you?" He asked, he would do just about anything as thanks for bringing him back his daughter.

"Shi-chan." Yuuji trotted over with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry Shi-chan."

Gojo looked down at Yuuji was just about to cry, and internally sighed, 'Can't deal with crying kids.' Then he glanced up and saw the 'mother' coming up to them.

A frown marred Gojo's face as he looked at her.  There was something about her that just didn't seem right.  But he wasn't sure what.

"Thank you for bringing back our daughter." She smiled at Gojo.

Gojo waved his hand with a smile, "You're welcome.  All good, just keep an eye on her.  You never know what may happen." He said as he turned that smile to Shina.

His blue eyes curiously looked at the family of four before turning on his heels and walking away.

"That was interesting." Gojo murmured to himself as blue eyes seemed to shine with interest at finding something new.

He went on and finished his job quickly, which was rather boring since it was too "weak" to even put up a fight.  And just as he was about to leave, he remembered.

"Ah, my sweets!" He exclaimed as he went back into the mall to buy what he wanted to get.

Chapter five is done!  I really have nothing to do right now, considering that I messed up my ankles and just basically taking it easy.

Just reading manga, novels, and watching shows on t.v.  Fun.

SO, that's it for now.  Hope you enjoyed it.
