beside you , yuji itadori x reader

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──╮

you arrived at the theatre that higuruma was supposedly supposed to stay in. you had gotten 15 points, which was more than enough for yuji and megumi's sister as well.

in front of the theatre there was someone else standing outside. he looked over to you and hesitantly walked up to you. you held your katana up cautiously,

"hey, um. i'm not trying to hurt you.." he said, coming closer,

"okay..? so what's this about?" you asked, referring to him coming closer to you. he then stopped,

"ahh, sorry. i'm rin amai. you wouldn't happen to be a friend of itadori.. would you?"

you put your weapon down, wondering how he knew yuji,

"yeah... i am.. how do you know him?"

"i walked him here. he said he wanted to see higuruma,"

"right.. well is there anything you wanted to tell me?" you asked him curiously. why did he approach you in the first place?

"oh yeah. i just wanted to tell you that itadori is inside, and that you should be careful with higuruma. he's a lot stronger than you might think.." amai then paused, looking down, "also please tell itadori that i'm sorry,"

"why would you need to apologise?" you asked,

"it's nothing important. just let him know that i said that please,"

"okay.. i can do that for you. thanks for the heads up amai-san,"

"good luck," he replied.

you gave him a wave and walked into the theatre, scoping out the new environment. you had actually never been here so it was unfamiliar to you.

as you walked into the actual theatre room, you saw a domain expansion,

'shit!'

you still had no idea how to expand your own domain, so in this situation you were basically useless. you tried your best to break open the domain but your attempts were useless.

suddenly the domain was expelled and higuruma and yuji were revealed. you kind of just stood there while they fought. there wasn't too much you could do while they were fighting one-on-one.

that was until higuruma finally sensed your presence and looked at you,

"uh, hey," you waved.

he simply swung his huge gavel towards you in response, forcing you to swiftly dodge it,

"woah! dude chill," you rolled your eyes, running across his comically large gavel.

"y/n!" yuji called,

"hey, yuji. how are you feeling?" you sent a kick towards the lawyer, making him step back to dodge,

"i'm fine..?" he said, thinking about what he could do to get higuruma to listen.

higuruma then decided to swing the gavel while you were on top of it, sending you into the wall. your world went a little fuzzy for a moment as you got up to see higuruma in front of you,

"it's rude to interrupt a trial," he muttered before holding his gavel up above you,

"wait! higuruma!" yuji called, "i want a retrial!"

higuruma's domain was opened once again, this time with you in it.

'so this is his domain.. how weird,'
