Escape to Reality (Gojo Satoru x Reader)

Chapter 8

I can't see anything...

I mean, it's not like it's because I'm in the kitchen, but I think they should have hung the curtain by now, but I can't see anything, even though the atmosphere is tense and strangely chilling.

I see my hands, could it be that I have celestial restriction? But I don't have outstanding strength like Maki or Toji... I clench my fists, determined.

I'll never know if I don't try, besides, I highly doubt anything will happen to me, Satoru must be about to destroy the curtain, not to mention that Juzo Kumiya must be facing Utahime with the girls. Gakuganji is surely with them and Yaga with Tengen...

I do some calculations and count mentally, Oh no! Mahito will manage to steal the fingers! I... I have to go there and make it difficult for him at least...

With a weight in my stomach, I go to Maki's room, I think I can borrow the glasses she used last year. With some nerves and embarrassment, I rummage through her bedside table and find the glasses.

Unlike the current ones, these are round and very delicate, perfect, they're the ones she wore during the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 period.

I put them on, I don't feel anything different...

I need a weapon. A cursed tool.

I head towards the training field, I see Toge with Noritoshi and Yuji fighting Hanami, I can't locate Nanami, oh no, oh no... I'm inside the curtain! It's okay, calm down Y/n, just keep running.

I reach the shed near the training field and as I expected, it's full of weapons.

Hmm... there are swords and katanas hanging on the wall in front of me, but... I know those are almost-cursed so I must have some cursed energy for them to work. Hmp, should I discard them?

I keep rummaging... I see another pair of Tonfa, a bow and arrows, there are several... I don't see anywhere a replica of Striking Cloud, nor Maki's Naginata... I take the bow and arrows, this will have to do, even though they lack cursed energy. Uhuhu~ I'm on a suicide mission.

I grab a sword with a scarlet case and adjust it on my hip, if luck is on my side for not being under Gege's script influence, it might serve a purpose. I walk out with the sword on my back along with the bow.

The sound of something breaking forcefully makes me look up, Satoru is hovering over the area, I can barely distinguish his white hair. I don't delay or get distracted for another moment, I run into the facilities.

I have to enter the cursed storage where they keep Sukuna's six fingers. It's difficult because they didn't specify this in the anime, but as I'm advancing through the hallways, something makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

I must be close.

I open the door and enter a dark room, not entirely dark. The sliding door barely makes a whisper when I close it, there are shelves in front of me and at the back on one side, there seems to be a kind of dim light on, but it's overshadowed by a piece of furniture.

"This is perfect!" I hear a mellifluous voice murmur "They're so distracted with Hanami that I have time to take these three as well~~"

My blood boils, and without controlling my steps, I rush forward unsheathing the sword. My body feels strangely light.

"Release those cursed uterus!" I drag the words as I quickly cut his arm.

I see what looks like test tubes filled with liquid, there are three separated apart.

DaYuM, it worked.

"Oh?" Mahito smiles crookedly "I didn't know I'd have company" he says, his arm regenerating slowly, I step back aiming the sword at him, both my hands on the sheath.

"Y/n!" we turn to the voice's direction, it's Nanami! "Why aren't you with Iori-san?"

Huh? Utahime? The blond approaches.

However, amidst my confusion, Mahito acts fast and attacks me with a strong kick to the side, I fall to the ground, the metal of the sword clashing against the floor.

Ugh, my body.

So that's why he wasn't on the battlefield. I see! Was he planning to ambush Mahito?

Oops... maybe I got myself into something I shouldn't have.

>> "Well~~ how fun!" exclaims Mahito. I try to get up, barely managing to shoot him a glare. But the gray-haired one is mockingly looking at Nanami.

>> "As much as I wish to finish both of you, I have to go... we'll have to leave it for later" Nanami approaches me.

I hear his bare feet hit the ground as he flees. I suppose he's taken the cursed uteri along with Sukuna's fingers. Damn!

"Nanami, follow him! He's weakened from his encounter with Sukuna, remember?" I exhale after the effort. I squint and hyperventilate trying to pass through the sharp pain.

The blond goes after the curse while I try to get up. At least the bastard kicked me and didn't touch me...

I barely manage to get up after a while and leave the storage room with the sword sheathed, the bow in my trembling right hand. I'm sweating cold, black dots come into my view and the breath escaping my lips slows down.

Ugh, I'm going to pass out. It hurts... too much.

I don't know what I broke this time.

With no more control over my body, my eyelids close, I let go of the bow which falls to the side and further back I let myself fall as well. Expecting to crash against the cold wooden floor, I feel someone hold me and let out a groan of pain.

"Y/n! What...?" It's Satoru. I squeeze my eyes shut before opening them slowly.

My ___-colored gaze meets his blue eyes and for a moment, I feel everything stop. My breath catches in surprise.

What... a beautiful blue eyes.

The albino smiles sideways as he clicks his tongue to laugh softly.

>> "So you're crazy enough to do this job... it's a shame you're so weak" he comments, to which I barely smile. My eyelids close, I can't stay upright anymore.

I feel him remove the sword and unfasten the strap holding it to my hips, he lifts me in his arms and that's where I lose consciousness.
