Chapter 34

"Gojo Sensei.." she muttered.

Gojo stood in front of her as he kept his eyes on the man with the scar which was a few metres away from them.

"So what they say is true, you really do care a-lot about your students. It's not even been 2 hours and you're already here for your student." the man with the scar spoke, his voice nonchalant and uninterested.

Gojo ignored him and turned 180 degrees to face Y/N. He bent his knees to reach her level, slightly tilting his head.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" he questioned her in a serious tone.

Y/N nodded as she looked at him, her gaze shifting between his face and the ground. Her hands trembled slightly, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She tried to steady her breathing, but the uncertainty of the situation made it difficult.

"Good. Now leave. Ijichi is waiting for you at the end of the alleyway." he ordered, his voice more serious than ever. He stood straight and turned towards the man with the scar.

Y/N has never seen Gojo with such a serious demeanour. She wanted to question him, ask him about who the man is, the eagerness within her, burning but, understanding the critical situation they are in, she concluded that running away would be the best and smart choice.

As she was about to run, she felt an arm around her waist, she instantly closed her eyes due to the pressure she felt around her.

As she opened her eyes she saw that Gojo held her. Her eyes shifted to the place she was standing in, the sight horrified her.

The wall was destroyed, small debris on the ground. Her heart pounding in her chest. Soon her eyes fell upon the cause of such destruction.

Taro, but this time he held a something, her eyes immediately shifted to it. It was a dagger with a jitte-shaped blade. Also, the weapon has a black handle with a circular link at the end.

Gojo instantly yet carefully placed her on the ground.

"Run, Y/N and do not look back." Gojo commanded, his voice carried the same seriousness but this time it seemed like he was more alerted.

Without a second thought, she did as he told her. Soon, her ears were hit by crashing and rustling sounds, but she kept going, without looking or turning any direction. Her only aim was to reach the end of the alleyway.

As she reached, she saw a figure standing near a car. She quickly recognised the man, it was Ijichi. Seeing her, he opened the car door for her.

Without a second thought Y/N hopped in and took in deep breaths as she tried to steady herself. Ijichi instantly opened the door, sitting on the driver seat, he started to drive.

"Who is he?!" Y/N questioned between her breaths.

"Mr. Gojo instructed me not to do anything apart from dropping you home. He specifically mentioned to not answer any of your questions." Ijichi cleared, his tone slightly anxious and polite .

"What?! Why!?" she asked, eagerly.

"I don't know, but please understand." he replied, his tone same as before.

"O-Okay.." she replied, her voice unstable. She knew she didn't have any other choice.

Slowly her breathing got steady but, her mind and her body was tensed. She constantly worried about her Sensei and his well-being. Over that many questions consumed her from within. She didn't have anyone to answer her questions, yet.

Minutes passed her tension and concern only grew. She prayed that everything would be fine, and her beloved Sensei comes back soon.

Just a few minutes later, Ijichi stopped the car at the building where Gojo stayed. He instructed Y/N to get off and go straight home, saying that he would head to where Gojo was. He also told her not to tell Yuji anything about what had happened. If Yuji asked where their Sensei was, she should simply reply that he dropped her off and left for some work.
