brothers

Gabi was leaping from building to building in the cold breezed night, smelling the aroma of victory. An evil grin slowly formed on his lips. "I can just see his face, the loss of hope, his morals, breaking his character."

"I can feel your energy striking up, master. Are you really that thrilled?" Kitsune questioned him as she trailed behind him in her human form.

" More than thrilled. I feel alive."

" Because of the sealing Gojo to the prison realm?"

Gabi halted his movements on the edge of the building as the horrid wind aggressively moved his clothing. His hair was covering his face to the point Kitsune couldn't pin out his expression. The only feeling she got from it was her stomach turning against her because she felt her master's energy turning sinister. She wanted to run but her body forbade her to.

"Oh. that was their plan but I want to do my plan," he mutters against the noisy wind. Kitsune wishes she could question him but she believes her life will be on the line. A timid nod was her reply.

"We should hurry. It's almost time before he does get sealed." and that the two accelerated their speed to Gojo's location.

Makima pov

Makima was on the edge of Misumi's bed, watching her precious daughter sleeping peacefully. She brushed away the loose strands of hair that were covering Misumi's eyes so it wouldn't bother her. "I will come back to you. I won't leave you. I will bring him back to us."

" Ms.Makima, are you sure you need to go? It's getting worse as we speak. A war might happen and anything can happen to you . . ." Ms. Tanka shared her concerns.

Makima stared into Misumi's face with so much joy burning in her eyes. "I have to. I know the new generations are strong but not strong against what they're facing. They are attacking citizens already in Shibuya and soon it will come here. You and Misumi will be in danger. Gojo and I can stop this. Were the ones who caused this after all."

" You can't blame yourself for this. You didn't know the truth." Ms. Tanka went to the redhead and comforted her with her warmth. "Makima, I watched you grow up into a beautiful young woman. I am proud to say out loud that I witnessed this. I just don't want anything to happen to you, dear. Misumi wouldn't like the news if I had to deliver to her."

"I will come back in peace," Makima reassured the older woman.

" What if he doesn't want to come back in peace?" Makima knew without further context what Ms. Tanka meant.

" He will come back to me."

" How come you are so sure?"

" He will."

( He has to, right? He has to feel still something for me like how I feel for him. Did he erase our history?)

"I have to make this right. A lot has been damaged. I killed my father in cold blood 'cause I thought it was the right thing to do." she formed a fist and she was squeezing tightly to keep her emotions in. Makima couldn't shed her tears, she didn't want to, and surely not in front of people. "I thought . . . I thought he was being a traitor by setting a murderer free but he was innocent. That silly old man loved me from the very last moment I killed him." the waterworks that she wanted to detain had lightly poured down her face. "I thought the person I love was evil and only used me for some sick game but he loved me and cried for me when I was ready to execute him." harshly whispered out to make sure not to let Misumi hear as she wiped the tears off her face. "I need to fix things right. For not just Misumi's sake or the world. It's for a selfish reason. My purpose. So please Ms. Tanka. I have to go." she pleaded with the person she viewed as her mother figure.

Ms. Tanka bent down and kissed Makima's forehead "Come back in one piece, child."

Author pov

Back in Shibuya, Gojo was out of breath after saving every last human underground. 0.2 seconds to be exact to slaughter transfigured humans from attacking. His heart was pounding against his chest as blood covered his flesh, his hair had been through the war and his eyes were bulging out of his sockets. It had been a while since he was in this shape and the fact that these curse spirits were able to get him out of his calm composure state. He was feeling a mix of emotions but to sum it up, he was angry not just at the curse spirits but himself for being at the end of the stick.

"It's not time yet." an unknown voice whispered within the shadows, plotting to see one of the greatest sorcerers' downfall so they could laugh it up over tea time.

Gojo spotted an unknown box but he was quite familiar with what it was and he finally knew the reason why he was down here. Why do they want him isolated from the other sorcerers? They wanted to get rid of him. Not by death but to seal him away.

" Not here," he grunted aloud and was turning away. He was succeeding too until that noticeable energy he remembered a person he was very close to. A person he would call his brother and the person who made him the man he is today. Gojo's frightens confused ocean-blue eyes scrutinized that figure when he slowly turned around.

" You . . ." he utters.

" It is me. Long time no see, Gojo."

Before Gojo could even speak again and the prison realm to fully activate the ceiling above them started to rumble causing the two to look up. The curse spirit who took over Geto's body nose scrunched up in confusion as Gojo was thinking what was coming next from the curses. Their questions were answered when the ceiling collapsed down revealing the beings who were responsible for it. A sturdy 6' footman who has bloodthirsty blue eyes as he exposes a new haircut that's hair up to his shoulders.

" Gabimaru, what are you doing here?! This is not the plan?!" the first time the curse was shouting and not his calm collective self.

Gabi did not take his eyes off Gojo and couldn't care less that his "partner" was yelling at him. "Fuck off." he harshly spoke to him. " Kitsune deal with that as I handle him."

" What? Gabimaru–" his sentence was cut short as Kitsune dashed into him, punching him square in the mouth.

"You are partying with me, brain head." she cutesy giggles as she winks at him.

It was only Gojo and Gabi left and the prison realm was nowhere in sight since Gabi forcefully knocked it down to the ground where it couldn't snatch anyone or anything. The ceiling covered it completely.

"Gabimaru, you are a busy man. Hard to find." Gojo finally said as he tossed the curses heads down on the platform, staring him dead in the eyes. "However, you deal a lot of damage around the world."

Gabi cracks his neck as he tears off his shirt. " You won't have to see any more havoc once I'm done with you. Soon you will meet our parents."

That sentence alone made Gojo's eyes snap as Gabimaru finally admitted that he was the one murdering both of their parents although he had suspected it. Gojo was going to save his brother after he knocked some sense into him. Enough words had been spoken through mouth and eyes. The two clashed together, and as they touched their powers made noise as if an earthquake was coming to wipe Japan off the map.

Above them, the sorcerers can feel their energy increasing per second. A young redhead woman knew exactly who was able to cause this.

" Gojo and Gabimaru." Makima whispered to herself, knowing she was near the two but yet so far from them.
