Overflow 2: A Gojo & Geto Tale

Chapter 64: I'm Not Here

Suguru still stands in front of me. His hands up ready for whatever I give him. His purples searching my raging blues.

"I'm sorry."

"I know. Let's talk. Quickly." Suguru hugs me and I relax my eyes as much as I can without losing sight of Megumi.

"We have two options. We go and watch them do this mission they set out to do from the shadows. Or we go and kill everyone before they get there." Suguru rubs my back slowly letting me breathe and pace my heart to his.

"How about we go and just wing it?" I smile into his neck.

"I should have known you would say that ..." Suguru steps into the half done circle as I finish.

"Hold on." I whisper against his cheek as I wrap my arms around him and his arms hold me firmly around my waist.

I snap my palms together and we are standing by the pillars under the cherry blossom trees. Suguru's eyes are still closed and as I look at the most precious thing I have I almost forehead flick him so he won't come with...

"Suguru. We're here."

His purple eyes open and he takes in a deep breath looking around the place where many memories were made. Both good and bad. But our memories nonetheless.

"What's the plan Love?"

————

I smash the new camera they had placed by the elevators and use my limitless to force the doors open.

We step in and the elevator hums to life as we descend. I push down memories that creep up like bile in the back of my throat.

"So you'll let loose a few curses to not kill but hold the higher-ups hostage. Because of Tengen I can't see what we are walking into..."

"We can handle it. What about the guns?" Suguru's eyes are still and almost black as he brings up his cursed energy and has his curses at darknesses door.

"We take them out first. Stay next to me. If I get hit I can take them out and heal..." I don't allow myself to finish as the doors creak open.

Flames flicker along the walls in the torches that are spaced perfectly apart. The cool draft sifts through the elevator raising goosebumps from my neck down to my toes.

"3 higher-ups." I whisper.

Suguru's centipedes and small skeleton dogs rush from the darkness and out of the elevator. I step out into the cool dungeon minding my step.

POV Geto

We aren't prepared for this.

Although we are sorcerers and Satoru is the strongest that doesn't mean we are meant for war. We have missions set up for us. People who find out what curses we will deal with and how many there will probably be.

We're not soldiers...

I watch him slowly walk out into the stone room, his eyes bright and my heart racing as I stay 1 pace behind.

"Red."

I see a blast go into the dark corner and hear a body drop.

Then I feel it. The tight rip of pain throws itself through my side and I summon one of my specials that snakes from the shadows and assaults in the direction the bullet came from.

Everything slows down...

I can tell by Satoru's stance that he has his infinity up but it's not catching anything. I see his shoulder split open from a passing fragment. Blood trickles down his white shirt immediately as his hand points into the corner that assault came from.
