chapter 26
"you know Sakura-chan, you're the only one I've ever seen with a similar hair color as mine"
Yuji told Sakura, which made her chuckle a bit
She nodded, Both of their bodies swaying according to the beats of the song as they danced on the dance floor, a little away from Kakashi and Shoko
"Me too, Yuji-kun. The only other person I know with pink hair is my mom. You know what, my mom will love to meet you. "
She smiled seeing his eyes lit up with pure and genuine joy
She noticed everything about Yuji. For some reason, she couldn't help but stare at those warm brown eyes
Sometimes miraculously those pares of eyes remind her of another pair of eyes. The pair of ocean blue eyes she missed so dearly
"Really? Can I meet her?"
He asked excitedly, making her giggle and nod
"Of course. I'll make sure to take all of you to meet my parents at my house after I join jujutsu high"
It looked like he wanted to cheer, but he couldn't
With the beat change, he grabbed her hand and twirled her around
Sakura decided she really liked the boy. Younger than her but honest and with a kind heart. He was so easy to talk with
"Hey Sakura-chan, does sensei always act like this with you?"
She looked up at him a little confused
"I mean Ito sensei is always so laid back, I've never seen him say a word more than needed. But with you, he is fighting with you, bikkering with you. It's something we never saw him do"
His question made her shake her head
"Of course, silly. He's my big brother. Of course we fight all the time. All siblings do"
He just shrugged
"Not really. I don't have a sibling or cousins. So I really don't know how siblings work "
Her eyes soften a bit
After the day she met all of them, the toxin mission, she actually brought the annual report of Yuji Itadori
It's not something unusual in the jujutsu society to keep records of their students
She got to know about his past a little. It's just a shame how he's being treated with the whole Sukuna situation. It's like he's getting treated how Naruto was getting treated back when they were kids. It broke her heart
It wasn't worth it
"I don't know why kami makes good people suffer the most"
She thought to herself with a gentle smile on her face
"It's okay, I can be your big sister if you want"
To Which he made a face
He looked away a pout on his lips, which made her amused to say the least. But when she giggled again, he whined
"You're heartless!"
She threw her head back while laughing, arms still wrapped around his neck. It took her a few moments to stop laughing
"Why Itadori-kun? I'm older than you. That's why I said that"
He pouted some more, twirling her around. Her back hit his chest. His arms around her waist
"You know what I mean! You're not a sister, right!?"
He asked, If Sakura was honest, he almost sounded a little panicked
"But Itadori-kun, I thought you liked tall girls. Tall girls with a big ass!"
She said teasingly, while Yuji looked terrified
He wanted the ground to swallow him and to never see the light of the world again. It's just that embarrassing
"H-how did you know that!?"
She hummed
"I have my ways.... Kidding, Obibaka told me, ya know?"
"Sensei you tattletale!"
He said with a pout
As they danced around, the others along with Kakashi and Shoko stared at them across the room
"Just look at those two. They are having the time of their lives!"
Gojo said with a passive aggressive smile
"Shouldn't have brought her here to begin with "
Kakashi said under his breath. glaring at a laughing Sakura and grinning Yuji
"Cut it out guys. Look how cute they look! How happy Sakura looks. Stop being such a mood killer, Kakashi "
Shoko said with a eye roll
Megumi and Yuta just sat there ackwardly looking at each other
When the music changed again, Gojo got up. Nobody really thought much about it till he made his way through the crowd to where Sakura and Yuji were
He went to the two teens and tapped Yuji's shoulder
"Yuji-kun, I hope you don't mind me taking her from here"
The bright sunshine boy just gave him a beaming smile while Sakura raised an eyebrow at him
"Of course sensei! I'll go talk to Fushiguro now!"
The pure being said, gently handing Sakura to his sensei to have a dance, who looked so confused.
"What is this? Did he just hand me over to his sensei?... That's how easy it is to manipulate him? He's too gullible for his own good"
She thought to herself, giving Yuji a look that looked like she was concerned for his well being
She watched, now in the arms of a much larger man as Yuji jogged towards the others
"That boy is gonna die one day because of his stupidity"
Kakashi said out loud where Megumi and Yuta also sat there with a sweat drop
"I can't believe Satoru would really do that"
Shoko said with a chuckle as she slipped her drink
"You know, it's bad to use someone's innocence to take something from them"
Is the first thing Sakura said to Gojo when the lights started to change
He laughed, not really caring that much
"Being too gullible is also not good for you"
Sakura just rolled her eyes at him
"You can't tell that to a gullible person but can tell off to the person who's taking advantage of them, isn't that the rule?"
He shrugged
After dancing a faw minutes with him, she sighed
"My fucking god! You're like a giraffe or something. My neck is hurting from looking up so much "
His smile changed to a smirk, at that moment Sakura should have known she was doomed
"Wrong thing to say, pretty girl"
She didn't get it at first. But her eyes soon widened when he grabbed her hips and lifted her up, making her squeal and wrap her legs around his torso
Her eyes were wide as she now stared down at him
From the other end of the room, Kakashi dropped his glass of champagne. His eyes wide with disbelief which quickly turned into anger, Shoko on the other hand chocked on her drink
Megumi did a double take and Yuta looked astonished, Yuji just looked a little pouty
"Damn, I should have done that too!"
He thought to himself
"What the fuck is that Gojo doing? With my sister! Oh he's a dead man"
He said as he was about to stomp towards them. It took three of the boys and Shoko's constant reassurance that everything is okay for him to calm down remotely
"I swear to God, I'll give him a taste of this sharingan!"
He said, glaring at gojo's head with his lone sharingan
Shoko just rolled her eyes, looking back at the two on the dance floor
Sakura stared at him at disbelief while he grinned at her
"See, now you won't have neck pain"
She blinked, once twice before throwing her head back and laughing like there's no tomorrow. All while he stared at her laughing face with a chuckle of his own
When Sakura looked back at him she didn't know if she should be impressed by him or not
"They were right about you. You're too adventurous for your own good."
"They say that about me? I didn't know, but I do want to know who said it though '
She hummed,
she was basically in his arms. He was the only one who's dancing, she could feel others eyes around her, which she didn't mind but it's gonna be a little difficult to explain if word got spread that the strongest shaman of the current era was seen so intimately with her in a public party like this
But to be honest, she stopped worrying because it looked like he was having a great time and her feet were also getting a little break from walking with these killer heels on
"Mei Mei, Utahime, Obibaka, Rin-nee-chan... Everyone essentially"
"How do you know Mei Mei and Utahime?"
He asked, squeezing her a little closer
"I was once called in to help at Kyoto jujutsu high. You know they don't have a healer who can use techniques to heal so it was taking an un reasonable amount of time to heal them. So I was called in as a substitute healer... That's where I met them"
He gave her a lazy smile
"So y'all talked about me "
She snorted at that
"I don't know if you get this or not but you're pretty much like the celebrity of the Jujutsu community. You're the strongest, your name always comes up in every occasion. It has been since I was probably 12 or younger even-
The last line kinda made him pause
"Yeah... That's when I was deemed the strongest"
He kinda then realized just how young she was. It's not like he hadn't been with girls her age, but she wasn't just any girl
If he was the strongest shaman, she was the strongest female shaman
She just as much important as he is
But something always stuck a cord in him, he didn't know why but she seemed so much older for her age.
When he asked this to his female students like Maki or Nobara, they just said girls mature faster than boys. Although he didn't say it to their faces but he considered those advices bullshit
Even now looking at her jade green eyes that were looking down at him so curiously, he had a feeling those eyes held wisdom that just didn't come from maturing at an early age
But something more
There was something more to her that she wasn't disclosing
And one thing he knows is that he'll find them out. He'll find out what secrets she had. Maybe he'll wait for her to disclose them or dig it up himself, but regardless of how, he'll get to know her
Even looking up her, he couldn't but think to himself
"Just who are you, Ito Sakura?"
