beside you , yuji itadori x reader

thirty four

"i see you're getting the hang of it," higuruma spoke to yuji,

"that was close.." he panted, "i get a second trial, right? i want a do over!"

you sat in the court room as higuruma pulled out his evidence. judgeman then told the court what yuji was accused of,

"yuji itadori stands accused of mass murder in shibuya on october 31st, 2018"

you're eyes widened upon hearing this. how would yuji even deny this?

'well technically it wasn't him.. it was sukuna. whether he denies or pleads guilty he would still most likely get a death penalty. he needs to take his chances and deny!'

"yeah.. i did that. i'm not lying and i won't deny it.."

'no!! yuji, are you dumb?!' you sat in your chair, sweat dripping from you in nervousness,

"guilty! confiscation, death penalty!"

higuruma pulled out his executioner's sword as the domain got expelled. you stood there with worry and concern,

"just stay there, y/n," yuji said calmly,

"what the hell? no!" you replied, walking up to the two as higuruma ranted about people being weak and ugly,

'that's not very nice!'

you watched as yuji's top got sliced off by the executioner's sword. you slightly smirked before wiping the look off your face. this was not the time...

you were about to step in, but thankfully, you didn't have to as yuji sent one punch into higuruma that made him want to sit and chat with yuji,

"itadori, put on your clothes and sit down. i'll give you your 100 points," higuruma spoke softly before looking towards you, "you too,"

you simply nodded and sat on a seat next to yuji, who was putting his jacket back on,

"have you ever killed someone by your own will?" higuruma asked the two of you,

"yes," yuji answered. you looked down, finally thinking about the sorcerers you had killed just before arriving,

"yes," you said quietly,

"didn't it feel awful?" he asked.

you both nodded. you felt your gut wrench as you came to a realisation of the people you killed just for yuji's sake.. he wouldn't want that. but you didn't want him to go through killing people again. he wasn't the kind of person who would take the deaths lightly.

yuji looked at you in concern and put his hand over your hand that gripped onto your knee tightly.

higuruma then sighed and called for his kogane,

"add a rule to make it possible to transfer points between players,"

you looked at the kogane in anticipation, wondering if the rule would be accepted or not,

"approved. rule 10, players may transfer a number of points of their choosing to another player,"

you all let out a sigh of relief before thanking higuruma. you did asked if he wanted to come help, but he denied, saying he would turn himself in once the barriers are gone. you sighed,

"kogane, transfer a point to yuji itadori,"

"one point has been transferred to yuji itadori!" your kogane exclaimed before disappearing again.

yuji looked down at you, slightly confused,

"you got points already?" he asked.

you looked down at the ground in shame as your lip quivered,

"i'm so sorry, yuji," you softly cried, "i killed sorcerers to get points for you and megumi's sister. i didn't want you to kill again, but this isn't what you would have wanted either! i'm so sorry,"

he responded by quickly going up to hug you,

"hey, don't cry.. it's okay y/n, i'm not mad at you. you only did it to help and it's not like they were innocent either. it's okay,"

"you aren't mad?" you looked up at him with teary eyes,

"no, i'm not mad, you crybaby.." he chuckled, "i'm more concerned about your health.. you have blood stains all over your face,"

"oh yeah, i got punched really hard in the gut! and started coughing up blood.. it's okay though! it wasn't major," you exclaimed as the two of you walked out the theatre,

"you should be more careful, y/n," yuji smiled, kissing the top of your head,

"oh, says you!"

"yeah yeah. why don't we go look for fushiguro," he suggested,

"yeah, i'm a little worried he hasn't shown up yet.." you frowned,

"don't worry, i'm sure he's fine," yuji reassured, "he's a tough guy,"

you replied with a smile as the two of you headed off to go find megumi.
