Gardener

Nana- Garderner sees friend again

[M/N][L/N]

"(M/N) let go, he's dead"

"Iya da, yada"

I stayed with him and even went with his corpse to wherever I was now. I believe it was the school. A small white tiled room with lights blaring down. Ijichi pleaded for me to let the Itadori go temporarily but I never left the room as the cleaned his corpse. Someone came by to try and help me with my wounds and I sat there as they gave me treatment while I watched them clean Itadori's body but I didn't look at Itadori and instead how well they were cleaning him. I didn't speak much. I don't know how long I've been in this room staring off into space.

A blank white sheet covered it as Gojo came in. He saw me in the corner, silently watching with my hat covering my face. Ijichi started explaining what happened to Gojo and the other pointed out how the higher ups clearly took the time to kill Itadori when he was gone and blame it on unforeseen circumstances. A lady with hair that passed her shoulder blades in a white coat came in. She had tired eyes.

She told him that he had a soft spot for Itadori and he agreed, pointing out that as a teacher, he cares for all his students.  She noticed me and asked uninterested if I had gotten proper treatment to which I nodded my head. She told Gojo not to torment Ijichi too much. She pulled off the sheet and asked if she could do what she wanted and Gojo agreed, telling her to make good use of of Itadori. That made me shift slightly in disapproval before settling back down. I was getting really upset that Neko popped out of the shadows to feed and absorb my negative emotions.

"What is a cat doing here?" The lady asked

"Don't mind him, I promise he'll stay in my lap the whole time. Will he be a distraction?" I asked

"No but it's better if you can leave him outside"

Without an answer, I nodded my head as the cat went back into my shadow. It caught Ijichi off guard and really stayed next to Gojo on the other side of the room. Gojo told Ijichi to ask him why he became a teacher so the other did only to get a reply that it was Gojo's dream since all the higher ups were just plain fools. He would kill them all but then they would just be replaced and no one would follow him. He became a teacher to raise strong clever comrade. Especially Hakari and Okkotsu. Itadori was one of them to reset the Jujutsu world. Okkotsu rang a bell.

Itadori is really important so it was a given. I wondered why I didn't die instead. Someone like me would be a great sacrifice. I felt Itadori's energy come out and I stood up as the lady asked if the other two would watch where they were from. To everyone's shock, Itadori sat up. He was naked but alive. I was happy deep down although I didn't show it on my face. Ichiji started freaking out as I grabbed a robe he could wear while Gojo told Ichiji to shut up. Even Itadori was a bit surprised he was naked.

Gojo and Itadori had their own reunion as they clasped each other's hands. I threw the dark blue robe over Itadori before stepping outside. I decided to look for some gardens to calm my mind but saw Gojo and the lady come out. I heard my name being called as I went inside. Itadori gave me a smile before apologising for dying before Ijichi left the room. Being upfront, I told him I missed him and told him not to pull a joke like that again. He apologised before grabbing my hand and hugging me. I had to lean down a lot but I didn't mind it. I cherished the hug.

"Can I be honest? You gave me a scare. I'm leaving now" I bluntly said

"Eh matte matte, I want to say something to you. Thanks for staying with me when we were in the centre, I was scared and-" Itadori was cut off

"That's enough Itadori" I cut him off

"Thanks (M/N), you really do care." Itadori smiled

When I left Itadori to change, I went to the garden nearby and watched. I admired the flowers for quite some time. The pretty daffodils to the blooming hibiscus flowers. I got a shock when Gojo appeared behind and whispered Kikufuku into my ear. It made me turn around and nearly made me smack him. He caught my hand though while I calmed down. I told him not to blow nor whisper into my ear. Ears were a sensitive spot for everyone.

"I noticed something, your strength is pretty good but your in the same boat as Yuuji, you don't know how exactly to apply cursed energy and strength together. Even your technique is really loose, you just learned that recently didn't you?" Gojo asked

"Yes. Teach me Gojo, I want to be stronger. You're the strongest so you can right?" I asked

"Sure~ You have and Itadori both have keen eyes" Gojo expressed happily

"Huh? It's obvious though that you're the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer I know" I pointed out

After that, Gojo told me to meet up with Itadori and lead me to him. Inside the room, Gojo showed us two cans and did something to the each of them. The first looked crushed from the front while the second looked twisted. I didn't really get why though. Sure one had been twisted in a specific way and the other just looked like it was punched. Gojo then used the electrical energy terminology to apply it to the situation where it made a lot more sense. Electricity had to be changed to achieve various results. Itadori asked Gojo if he was about to learn a really good technique.

"No, you can't used curse techniques and (M/N) can only use one from what I've seen" Gojo stated

"Huh?!" Itadori freaked out.

"Setting aside simple shikigami and barriers, cursed techniques are fundamentally etched in your body from the day you're born. So the power of Jujutsu sorcerers is roughly 80 percent innate talent" Gojo explained

"I just thought I'd be able to pull of thunder or fire or power bomb or something" Itadori began deflating

"You can pull off a power bomb. Ohnita's right?" Gojo asked

"This sucks, I wanted to pull off a Spirit Gun or Bankai or Rasengan or a Dondon Ray." Itadori whined, fully deflating.

I looked from Itadori to Gojo in silence and saw the small smirk ethched on his face while Itadori whined about wanting to fire off a Kamehameha. If something develops over time then will Sukuna's techniques carve into Itadori. Gojo told Itadori to ignore his weaknesses for now and focus on enhancing his strengths. He'll get Itadori to imbue cursed energy into his fighting style. He said he was more scared of someone with superior basic Jujutsu then inferior Jujutsu techniques.

"Now, (M/N) you have the same issue but even I don't know how you're going to fight" Gojo sighed

"(M/N) doesn't seem like someone like a big tanker or fighter. I just see him gardening. Maybe a sort of aid in battle but nothing big" Itadori pointed out

"Mean." I commented.

"Well, for now let's focus on you two getting stronger" Gojo smiled

A/N: Matte matte translates to wait wait. Thanks for reading:)  I don't think (M/N) is a tsundere but just doesn't know how to express it as previously stated. Bye bye :)
