Kakashi was literally astonished. How come all of these boys are so persistent being her plus one. He's now cursing his luck. He shouldn't have brought her here in the first place
Gojo, Megumi, Yuji and Yuta were all looking at each other in a way like they were having some kinda mental telepathy
"I'll be her plus one. I saw her first that day"
Megumi said breaking the science
"The hell? But I should be the one to be her plus one. I'm the one who talked with her first"
Gojo argued back
"I think I should be her date as we have the most similarities. We have similar color hair and we both are vessels"
Itadori chimed in
Poor Yuta just stood there like a scared cat. He didn't know what to argue on and he didn't think he'd be able to argue with his sensei like that anyways
They all kept glaring at each other, not noticing how Shoko was snickering and Kakashi looked like he was rethinking all of his life choices
That until they heard a loud giggle
Sakura was chuckling like there was no tomorrow. Though she didn't know how all of their heart skipped beats by her giggle
"Well Kashi, it looks like this problem is solved"
She said, going to Yuji and Megumi. She then proceeded to wrap her arms around both of their arms, making a cheery blush spread on their pale skin
"I don't like this, Kura"
Kakashi said while glaring at their joined hands. His words made her scoff
"Does it look like I care? And anyways. Go have some fun dude. Or someone might steal your girlfriend away. Like dang! Look at her. She's gorgeous. I'll take her as my plus one if you don't"
Sakura said, winking at Shoko
Shoko couldn't help but chuckle. It was just silly. To see her always so nonchalant boyfriend be so playful for once, and to know his sister was such a flirt. And she couldn't deny she loved Sakura's quirky personality
"Okay. Now you're trying to steal my girlfriend?"
"Dude you stole my hairbrushes yesterday"
"How is that even relatable here!?"
"I don't know.... Anyways, just go. I'm not a kid, Kashi. I'm a grown ass woman who is also a special grade sorcerer. Trust me when I say I can take care of myself"
Sakura said rolling her eyes for the 5th time in the past three minutes
"But, Kura-
"Just go big bro, and I have shukaku to take care of me"
Sakura said sighing
"And anyways, I have Gojo. He's close enough to you!"
Her words made the overgrown Manchild pout
"Stop bulling me for my looks!"
He childishly chimed in, only to be ignored by everyone
Reluctantly, Kakashi agree to go with Shoko. But not before threatening all the boys that he'll see them if they tried anything funny with Sakura
So the boys and Sakura were left alone
"So, let's go sit down. My feet are killing me"
Sakura said, looking down at her feet
"Sure, anything for you darling "
Gojo said with a flirty tone and Sakura quickly went and grabbed Yuta's arm, making the poor baby overheat
"Stay 10 feets away from me, mister. I'm good with this cutie"
She said, giving Gojo a sassy look before looking up at Yuta, who had a cute peach blush dusted on his cheeks
"So, can we sit down?"
She asked, pouting with her pink pulp lips
Yuta internally screamed before nodding his head
Sakura sat down with four of the boys. She sat there, first finishing her ice cream
"So Sakura-chan, tell us about yourself"
Gojo asked, making her look at him with a raised eyebrow
"What do you wanna know?"
Megumi thought for a bit before asking
"You said you didn't ever want to join jujutsu highschool. Why though?"
Sakura hummed, looking at her freshly painted nails
"Well, I was always well trained. Since I was a child. Kashi trained me, then my dad is also a first grade sorcerer, he trained me. My godfather is a special grade sorcerer, he also helped me to train, Obibaka. So I didn't really see the need to come here and train"
Then Yuji excitedly chimed in
"Hey, is that your natural hair color?"
All the boys gave him a look that screamed (why would you ask that?)
Looking at Yuji's grinning face, Sakura was again, hit by this sudden vertigo, she felt like she saw his grin replaced with her Naruto's
"What is going on with me?....What are you doing to me?"
Sakura thought to herself, staring at his smiling face with a serine look
"I told you kit... This is your fate. You like it or not"
She creased her eyebrows in confusion
"What do you mean, shukaku!? Can you please tell me what's going on with me. I don't think I can take this for long and you can't keep me in the dark all the time"
Sakura begged
"I can only guide you kit... Not show you the future "
"But-
Sakura was about to ask something else when someone tapped her shoulder. She blinked looking at the boys looking at her in concern
"You okay, miss?"
Yuta asked, offering her a glass of water
"I am sorry if I offended you, Sakura-chan. I didn't mean to"
Itadori said a panicking voice
Sakura's eyes landed on him and she felt this tug on her heart. For some reason, her heart felt empty. Empty like she felt when she first woke up in her tiny body in the orphanage
She gave him a shaky smile before shaking her head
"No... It's not you.. I was just talking to Shukaku"
She said, not to make him feel bad
Now he tilted his head like a confused puppy, making Sakura smile genuinely at his cuteness
"Who's shukaku?"
Yuta asked curiously
"Hmm... Oh, um the tailed beast inside me. The ichibi. "
She said a little unsurely. Cause not everyone can understand her's and Shukaku's relationship
"You talk with him?"
She hummed in affirmation
"What is he like?"
Gojo asked curiously
Because frankly, he'd never seen a vessel be happy with the beast or curse they are hosting. So seeing Sakura talk about shukaku was a little intriguing for him
"Well... You know when you have a relieve who is much older and wiser then you, who cares about you and your well being by showing you the right path, correct you in the wrong, he's kinda like that to me. My guardian angel is what I like to call him"
She said with a chuckle
"I'm not a angel kit!"
Shukaku said, making her giggle a little
"So he's nice to you?"
Yuji asked curiously again
Sakura nodded
"Good for you, Sukuna is so rude to me. Sukuna why can't you be more like this Shukaku?"
He asked Sukuna to which the king of curses replied
"Shut up and don't bother me, brat!"
Yuji pouted at his rude behavior
Sakura stared at the young boy Infront of her and asked the gods how was it to make two people so similar
She was already getting emotionally involved with Yuji
How could she not?
His laughter was contagious, making your days worth looking forward to no matter how bad the time is, his smile was warm as the sun, that would warm your heart, his eyes held this kindness that made you feel comfortable around him
All and everything her Naruto had
She thought to herself with a gentle smile on her face. She didn't even realize she was staring at Yuji, until the boy asked
"Why are you looking at me like that, Sakura-chan? Is there something on my face?"
He asked in a confused voice, making sakura softly giggle
"No, not really... It's just you look really handsome today. "
Yuji's eyes widened and a pretty peach blush spread on his cheeks. He gave her a beaming smile that made Sakura wanna ask him how he could heal so much with just that smile
"I'm not even that good looking, Sakura-chan. Not even near you"
She tilted her head, the same smile on her face
"Not really... You just don't give yourself the credit like most people do"
This made Yuji even more baffled
"Anyways, don't worry about Sukuna. He'll come around. I think you just need to try and befriend him"
Her words made Gojo snort. She diverted her eyes to the tall man, raising her eyebrows, as if asking what's so funny
"I don't know if you know about Sukuna, Miss. But he's pure evil. He'll never come around or change. You can't befriend him "
Sakura stared at him for a good minute before smiling a loop skade smile
"How do you know that? Do you have a beast inside you?"
Her question startled him for a moment
"I had a friend.... who was like me... and Itadori. Everyone hated him because he was a vessel. A vessel of a horrible being, the jubi nine tails... But he managed to turn him to help others"
Sakura said, thinking about Naruto. A small but genuine smile came her lips. She was just so incredibly proud of him, where he came
"All he achieved was on his own. No one helped him, everyone hated him. Yet he was forgiving to them and fought for them. He earned respect. Unlike you and me. He could do it because he had a heart of gold.... Not everyone has that, Gojo-san... "
Gojo just listened the young woman had to say. He really didn't understand her at all, at a moment, she's being childish and spoiled, the next moment she's kind and wise...
He really couldn't tell who Ito Sakura is
Sakura then looked at him
"I can assure you... Yuji-kun would be like him. Because he has all the qualities my friend had... Mark my words, he'll achieve great when he'd figure what he's capable of... Much.. much more than people like you and I did"
She said, leaving the guys to ponder her words
"You're quite.... An different individual... Miss Ito... I'll give you that"
Gojo said, looking at how Itadori was smiling like an idiot. Hearing Sakura say so many good things about him made him feel this fuzzy
She just shrugged
"I get that a lot."
She said, sipping the Mango Thai tea she was just served
"So you said you come with your father and god father here. So don't they have plus one's"
She looked up at Megumi
"They do. But I guess they just don't want me to be alone. And my mom and I look pretty similar if not identical. So I really don't think my dad minds"
She said, sipping her drink when suddenly the music started. Everyone's attention on the dance floor
Sakura squealed and quickly got her phone out, making the guys look at her. She excitedly started to record
"Omg! Look at Kashi. Dear lord, this is so cute"
She took a few pictures
"Mama's gonna love this "
She said, sending the pictures of Kakashi and Shoko dance to her mom
"So you wanna join the floor, my lady?"
Gojo offered his hand, giving her a charming smile
Her eyes widened as a beaming beautiful smile came to her lip. She grabbed Yuji's hand and started to drag him on the dance floor
"Yuji-kun, let's dance together!?"
Yuji grinned with just as much excitement
"Sure."
Gojo pouted making her pause, she looked up at him with a smile and patted his arm
"Don't worry, I'll dance with all of you. One by one, nee?"
She said, giving him a wink and leaving the dance floor with Yuji
