Chapter 33

"Hm.. You come here to relax, don't you?" she asked observing him.

"Yeah." he replied.

It was silent until the man decided to break the silence.

"Have you explored this city?" he questioned, his eyes glued to her.

"Not really, I don't go out much. If I do, I just take a walk nearby." she answered, suspecting nothing unusual.

After a few minutes of small talk, the waiter arrived with her order. Placing it on the table, he looked at Y/N and said, "Enjoy" then walked away.

She began to eat as the man in front of her continued asking questions as if trying to learn her schedule.

Everything was normal, they spent the evening together, asking and learning about each other. Not everything she answered was true but, of course the guy wouldn't know that. After they finished eating, they left the restaurant and decided to take a walk.

After a 10 minutes, the man with the scar asked,

"I have a place to show you. If you have time, we can go there now." he suggested, his voice as nonchalant and relaxed as usual.

Y/N took out her phone and checked the time: 8:13 PM.

"Hm, 8:13.." she thought.

"Yeah sure..I do have time. Where do you want to take me?" she asked curiously.

"Just follow me." he replied, continuing to walk, and Y/N followed him.

After a few minutes, they arrived at a place secluded from the city, quiet and dark. Y/N started to feel uneasy and anxious as she had no idea about this place.

"T-Taro..are you sure this is the right place..?" she asked, fear and discomfort evident in her voice.

"It is, don't worry." he assured her.

Y/N swallowed, trying to stay calm. Suddenly, the man walked into a dark alleyway. Y/N couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"N-No..! We..We shouldn't go there!" she protested, her voice shaky.

The man ignored her, knowing she had no other choice but to follow him. In this unknown area, she had no sense of direction, making his intuition correct. Reluctantly, she started to follow him, her pace quickening as she tried to catch up, her steps unsteady. They walked deeper into the alley.

As she began to close the distance between them, he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab both of hers, pinning them to her lower back.

"W—" she tried to scream, but a large hand covered her mouth.

She started to squirm helplessly in his arms, muffled protests escaping under his hand.

"Shh, stop struggling." he commanded as he turned her around, his hands still restraining her.

Y/N didn't stop; instead, she struggled even more, trying her best to break free from his strong grip.

"Stop struggling, it's helpless, Y/N" he said calmly, leaning closer to her as his grip tightened."

Understanding the situation, she relaxed her body as tears started to form in her eyes. Despite her efforts to stay calm, her body tensed, and her mind raced, clueless about how to handle such a situation.

"Good. Now I have a question for you answer it honestly." he exclaimed as he slightly loosened his grip.

"Are you Gojo Satoru's student?" he asked, moving his hand away from her mouth.

As soon as he freed her, Y/N took deep breaths, frowning at him in confusion.

"W-What? H-How do you know him?!" she asked, her tone desperate and clueless.

"Don't answer my question with a question. I'm asking you again, are you Gojo Satoru's student?" he repeated, his voice serious and deep.

Y/N grew uncomfortable at his demeanor. She gulped and replied,

"Y-Yeah..why—"

"Where is he?" he interrupted with another question.

"What? Why do you wanna know?!" she demanded, attempting again to break free from his grip.

His eyes darkened and his grip tightened against her making her stop struggling and her attention on him.

"Just tell me about his whereabouts and I'll let you free." he said.

"Tell me why—"

"That isn't your concern."

"I'm not telling you anything!!! Not after what you did to me!" she protested, squirming and trying her best to free her hands.

"Hm, so you're make it harder for me? Okay then." he exclaimed as his unoccupied hand wrapped around her neck, making her stop and look at him.

"Now, Are you gonna tell me by yourself or do I have to make you?" he threatened, squeezing her neck.

Y/N shook her head.

"You're a stubborn one, aren't you? Okay then, I—"

Before he could finish, he moved away from her with such speed that Y/N couldn't keep up; to her, it felt like he teleported. As she gained her freedom, she struggled to regain her composure, still reeling from the sudden release.

As she gathered her composure, she noticed a tall figure standing directly in front of her, his back turned towards her.

"And what do you think you're doing to her?"
