Destined to Collide - Inumaki Toge

65. Rest

A/N: Now my lovelies, I present to you something to scream at.

Enjoy~

"Bless you for being a genius, Gojo," Utahime started, her eyes narrowed at him with an annoyed look, fully intending to start a war with Gojo. "Educating the students with what they would be using – Isn't that the first thing that a good instructor should do? For the Tsukigami heir to not know not to use Chi and its repercussion of using it at such a young age? Shame on your Gojo."

Gojo smiled. He knows just where to jab back. Oh, Utahime was always such a fun tease. She hated his guts and good looks so much that he finds it amusing to jab back at her with all that she hates. Best entertainment material ever for Gojo since Nanami refused to entertain him.

"Ah," Gojo Satoru rubbed the back of his neck. He had the galls to look apologetic at Utahime and continued, "Yes. On this, yes. Can't blame the sensei much. I have tons of missions on my plate, and for me to juggle with watching the few Chi Reservoirs I have over here, it really wasn't easy. Life made it so easy for you, Utahime. But lucky for us, Yuuta is out of the country with the third year. Otherwise, I'll have THREE Chi Reservoirs to watch over. Hahahaha!"

Utahime gnashed her teeth in annoyance. Damn Gojo, jabbing on where it hurts the most. Kyoto side have only one Chi Reservoir, and it was Mechamaru. Very indisposed due to his Heavenly Restrictions, while Gojo has three perfectly fine Chi Reservoirs. Three perfectly fine and healthy Chi Reservoirs.

Three. That is very rare, and they are prized for being just that. And all three that is enrolled in Tokyo Metropolitan Tech College already have so much potential right on their own, even before any sort of training starts. The Sukuna Vessel – legendary King of the Curses, the Special Grade Yuuta Okkotsu – who once wield the Queen of Curses, and the Last of the Tsukigami – beloved of the Netherworld.

To say Utahime wasn't jealous of that is a lie.

She could only sigh whenever she lay eyes on Momo and Mai. Always together, and always fail. Only works well when working in a large team. Can't ever expect them to work alone.

"But that's that!" Gojo called his hands and stood up, smiling down at all his 'babies' proudly. He felt like a proud father of a flock of ducklings growing up so well on their own as all of them looked up from where they sat in unison. "Now get some rest. Tomorrow's a great day for the lot of you to sleep and rest up for the upcoming competition the day after. Go on, get going. Ah Kyoto side, please come over to the guest wings. Don't disturb our students in their dorms, alright? That goes for you especially, Kamo Noritoshi. Don't let me catch you wandering around the Tokyo branch's dorm room. Maki doesn't take too kindly to sudden visits on her side of the dorm."

Kamo's eyes opened in shock and confusion. The rest of his teammates regarded him with a questioning look on their faces. He didn't- no, he- nothing! He did nothing! There was nothing going on that made him want to visit the Tokyo's dorm!

His eyes wandered in panic amongst them. Then Maguro's face caught his attention admits the many faces of Tokyo branch's students. She was smiling at him politely when he looked over at them.

Oh, Kamo thought to himself. The lovely golden sunflower. Yes. Of course. Would love to have a chat with her sometime soon. What lovely conversation they have just now.

Momo nudged him painfully in the ribs with her elbow, then glared at Maguro. What did she do to earn that many likes so fast?! Kamo was usually very reserved and quiet, and the most matured amongst them. But when it comes to Maguro, he would had on that stupid dumbstruck ("I'd say lovestruck, that's more like it," Nobara muttered) face whenever she smiles at him. 

And just like that, everyone started to leave the canteen. Maki uses her eyes to warn Kamo, while Panda cracked his knuckles.

Kamo frowned sadly and walked off with his group after giving a wave to Maguro.

The Kyoto visitors took their time to explore around the massive expanse of Tokyo side, and Gojo giggled delightedly when he saw just how much grumbling Utahime receives the longer the group walks around the Tokyo campus. Can't help that the Tokyo branch is more well equipped than Kyoto's side. Kyoto side doesn't have a Gojo Satoru after all.

"Alright," Maki said to the rest when they reached their dorm wing, stretching one arm behind her in hopes to loosen the tight muscles there. "I'm going to hit the sack early. I'm beat, so I'm gonna have a pass at Itadori's meatball soup."

Panda yawned. "Me too. I'm good with the meals just now to last me until tomorrow. Do me a favour though. Whatever happens tonight or tomorrow, please don't wake me up. Let me sleep," the Cursed Doll said, then waved to Inumaki and Maguro, who had stopped right in front of Inumaki's room when Maki prompted about sleeping in early.

"Good night, everyone!" Maguro waved to Panda and Maki. "Sleep well then. Tomorrow's our off day so we can rest as much as we want." She turned to Inumaki and giggled happily, "More meatball portions for us then!"

Fushiguro heard that and coughed.

"Thank Gojo for that Godsent move. We all needed that," Maki groaned, then slides the door to her room loudly.

 "Well, meatballs will be tonight as promised. Since its still early, we can all get a good rest up first before dinner," Fushiguro said and nudged Itadori and Nobara to the other way at the First Year's wing. "We'll send a message when its almost done!"

Fushiguro grumbled audibly at Itadori about "What do you mean 'we'?" and "I'm not doing it," while Itadori literally hangs onto Fushiguro's arm with Nobara in tow grumbling on her own about "Boys."

Both Inumaki and Maguro watches as Fushiguro, Itadori and Nobara were out of sight before she turns to him and said "I think I'm going to go take a nap too-"

But she didn't get to finish her words before Inumaki pulled her by her arm into his room and slides the door shut. Maguro gave out only a quiet squeak and got cornered next to the sliding door inside Inumaki's room.

By a very dark looking Inumaki Toge looming over her seductively.

"Now, my lovely Maguro," Inumaki leaned into her, one palm placed right next to the wall by her head and – lord knows how he does that – calls to her within his thoughts in an extremely deep tone of voice that brings shiver down her spine and causes an involuntary excitement bubbling inside her. Then, he continued, "We can talk now."
