CHOSO'S POV

,,And? Is there any progress with eliminating Satoru's sister?", Mahito asks and moves closer to me on the couch. I wish I could twist his head right now because I don't want to talk about her.

I look in the other direction and avoid eye contact:,,Unfortunately, no. But I'm trying my best." ,,If you need any help, just say so... Kenjaku will be pleased to help you out", Mahito says with a grin.

I look at him and have to resist the urge to punch his ugly face. I grit my teeth:,,I'm not weak, I'll do this by myself." Mahito shrugs his shoulders:,,Just saying. Help is never bad."

I sigh and look down at the table in front of the couch:,,And how is it going with Sukuna's vessel?" Mahito shifts, moving a little away from me and letting out a long sigh:,,Well... Satoru's sister is in the way. She is taking the student's training over because Satoru isn't in Tokyo."

She is not only preventing you from fulfilling your mission. ,,That's why I want you to eliminate her as soon as possible", Mahito says nonchalantly.

,,It's not that easy, Mahito..", I say and think about the interaction I had with her the other day. Every time I think about her, a warm feeling spreads through my body. I shake the feeling off and look up at the door.

Kenjaku walks in and closes the door behind him:,,Good evening, Mahito and Choso.." ,,Good evening", Mahito says and I just nod. ,,I have good news for you, Choso", Kenjaku says with a smile.

I raise my eyebrow and wait for him to continue. ,,I'll take your mission over because I have found (Y/N)'s weakness", Kenjaku grins. A weird feeling blooms in my chest and I swallow:,,You don't have to do that. It's my mission anyway."

Kenjaku shakes his head:,,I think you have misunderstood me. I'll take it over so we'll have it done quicker. I know you're strong but we'll need you for something else..." Mahito claps his hands and smiles widely:,,That means he'll help me with my work?" Kenjaku hums in approval.

Instead of feeling relieved or thankful, I feel reluctant and angry. I furrow my brows. No. I shouldn't feel this way. Now that Kenjaku takes my job over, I have nothing to worry about. Not my feeling and not about her. I sigh and lean back on the couch:,,Thanks, Kenjaku."

He nods:,,Not worth mentioning, it's no big deal for me." The weird feeling in my chest intensifies. I imagine (Y/N) being hurt, Kenjaku touching her and her being... dead. I hold back my anger and stand up:,,I'll go for a walk.."

Kenjaku looks at me with a knowing look and grins, amused:,,Don't get distracted." I freeze and look at him, my eyes widened. Does he know about my emotional turmoil? My weird feelings towards (Y/N)? Suddenly realisation hits me and a vein throbs in my temple.

My breath quickens and I clench my fists. Mahito looks between us, totally oblivious of what is going on. My anger rises, like a volcano being ready to erupt at any time. ,,I won't", I say with a cold and measured voice but the storm inside me breaks halfway through my words.

Kenjaku's grin widens, being obviously satisfied with my reaction:,,Sure. See you later." I don't respond and leave the room, slamming the door shut behind me.

The streets of Tokyo are buzzing with traffic and people coming in and out of bars and clubs at this late hour. I clack with my tongue and walk down the streets, ignoring everyone around.

Why am I so upset with this whole situation? Why do I even care about her? I don't understand anything. My feelings. My reactions. I fucking hate this all. Now Kenjaku knows about it too.

I kick a small rock with my shoe, the rock hitting an old woman's leg. She looks down surprised. I walk past her and grit my teeth. Why do I have the urge to protect her? Why don't I just ignore her? Forget about her? It's Kenjaku's job now to kill her. So why? Why do I care?

I clench my fists but all the tension vanishes from my body when I hear a familiar voice. I look up and see (Y/N) chatting and laughing with a tall man in a suit and blonde hair. Suddenly I feel a storm brewing beneath my skin and my chest tightening.

Who is this guy? I look away, having enough of all my emotions. Just walk away. Instead, I look back at the two, the urge of pulling her away growing with each passing second.

I watch as the man waves his hand and walks away. She watches him for a while before looking away, her eyes landing on mine. I see her eyes widening but I don't look away. Protect her...

I grit my teeth. No. Don't. Kenjaku has to kill her for... Oh, you know what? Fuck it... I walk towards her, slowly, my eyes never leaving hers. Fuck that mission. I can't fight back my feelings.
