The Executioner 'Puppet'

Chapter 1~ Lunch with the Assistant

The students stay silent

Gojo's not done yet
"Were you aware of a man that had to be executed? Who attacked Jujutsu Tech while you, the Executioner was nowhere near him. Almost as if you neglected your duties-"

Lucia snaps
"I'm going to stop you right there Satoru Gojo, berate me and my methods as much as you want but when you question my duties and whether or not I complete them is where I draw the line. I followed my orders so don't go saying I didn't"

"Orders?! Is that all you care about? To me you sound like you blindly follow orders you're given without questioning them, just like how your here to kill Yuji Itadori, a child-"

"A child who is also Sukuna's vessel, the king of curses. Need a reminder of who he is?"

"He has him under control and besides he's under my care, I'll stop him if something we're to happen"

Tension keeps building between the 2, cursed energy mixes together as if in a blender. It's like a thick suffocating ocean dragging those around under the fierce current of water

Suddenly the chairs screech as Gojo and Lucia stand up, Gojo's blindfold is slightly pulled down his face, Lucia stands across from him with her arms crossed and a piercing glare

"Wait wait wait, you guys it's fine really this can wait until we're back at the school-" Yuji tries to meditate the situation

"Excuse me, I'm Sorry but am I interrupting something?"

Yuji quickly faces the waiter coming out with their food

"Ah no not at all, come in come in. You know how couples are"

Well that shut them up, quickly

The waiter places the food on the table before asking if they needed anything else, with no one needing anything else the waiter leaves and shuts the door, wishing them a nice meal

"Yuji Itadori-" Lucia stares directly at him

"Oh haha, yes-?" Yuji says with a hesitant chuckle

"Say that one more time to anyone and I swear when the time comes I'll rip out every one of your vocal cords one at a time" she threatens

"Yes ma'am!" He immediately shouts

"The same thing applies to all of you" Everyone quickly nods their head

Once finished, Gojo tips the waiter generously before the group leaves

They all begin walking back towards the train station in silence much like the beginning of the day

They board a bullet train and travel to the station closest to Jujutsu Tech

They have a train car to themselves as they had just missed the rush of workers going back home, no crowds, no pushing, no noise, no disturbances and free seats. The ideal train ride for most, but this group of 5, at this moment, would rather have the chaos of all that compared to the deafening silence currently present and the echoes of the fight that the teachers had earlier

By the time they arrive, the sun has long set in the distance leaving them to walk back in the complete darkness besides a couple dim street lamps that haven't been replaced in years

*Thump*

*Thump*

The groups footsteps and the occasional sound of an insect is all that's heard as they ascend the steps towards Tokyo jujutsu tech, passing through the Tori gates one by one.

Lucia's cursed energy flares as 2 knives form out of her Karmic Energy. She spins around quickly and releases the 2 knives sending them flying into the forest behind the group sending a couple of crows flying away, she immediately forms more in case of an ambush

Gojo looks at her with suspicion, noticing how she found the target before him and his six-eyes

She stands on the steps, looking out into the forest concentrating on something

"Ms. Lucia-" Nobara attempts to gain her attention, it only makes her furrow her brow even more

"You feel what I feel?" Gojo asks

"A Special Grade, and so close to the school, this is news for trouble-" she states

†††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††

"Ow ow ow ow, what the heck can't you be gentle!"

"Your fault for getting hit, when I repeatedly gave you warnings and recommended not to do it"

"Don't go lecturing me now!I didn't see it coming, what's done is done"

"Did you really think she wouldn't notice you? She's almost on par with Satoru Gojo, and we still don't know the full extent of her cursed techniques-"

"But I wanna do it already, it's sooooooooooooo boring planning, doing more planning and then more planning on top of that-

"Success takes time, Mahito. You'll get your chance, just wait"
