Chapter 36 - I wanna kill the higher-ups

"Sachiko, you look anxious these days." Gojo noticed her overly caring about the details whenever they adjusted the plans or talk about Shibuya.

"I...I'm just worried."

"You know I'm extremely unlucky. What if all of the worst possible scerios come true and I just lose you there?" Her voice was so quiet that it almost came out a whimper.

"Sachiko, look at me." Gojo cupped her chin with his hands, then pull her chin up a bit so as to make her look at him in his eyes.

"We'll do fine." Gojo said.

"Right." Sachiko nodded. She really need to keep the growing anxiety in check.

"Hm..you still seem tense. How about we take a nice break together?" Gojo suggested.

"But, I thought you're already late for your flight. Don't you need to warp to the airport right now?"

"It's fine. I'll just go with the next flight. It should be fine." Gojo said as he bought tickets for the next flight. "So, what do you say?"

"And what do you suggest we do during the break?~~" Sachiko found herself asking.

"Let's see. Why don't we play a game together?"

"But I'm not good at games."

"It's fine. I'll teach you but..." Gojo pulled her closer, then whispered to her ears.

"What about you kiss me as a fee?"

Sachiko chuckled, then kissed Gojo on the lips.

Gojo deepened the kiss and soon they were kissing passionately on the couch. Gojo ran his hands on her body as they kissed. One hand rubbing her back while the other sneaked into her T-shirt. Feeling Gojo's hand on her bra, she felt hot all over. Then, that hand pulled the bra down slightly.

"Satoru..."

Sachiko broke the kiss first with a blush.

"Hm?"

Gojo's hand didn't stop, instead, it fondled her breast before flicking the pink bud.

Sachiko's moan was cut off as Gojo pulled her into a kiss again.

Just as their lips met, Gojo's phone rang. Gojo groaned as he reluctantly pulled away from Sachiko to briefly check his phone.

It was Itadori.

"Sensei, it's emergency! They're accusing Nakamura as a traitor and now they're finding her. You have to do something, sensei!"

"Yuuji, slow down. What happened?" Gojo asked.

"Today, we went to exorcise a curse with Nanamin. But, the curse turned out to be a human with her body modified to possess some traits of a curse. That curse also mentioned the one behind her knew us and was close to us somehow. Nanamin reported all this to the higher-ups. Who knows why they suddenly rush to assume Nakamura as a traitor?" Itadori explained.

It was more like they wanted to push the blame onto Sachiko. It was no secret that the higher-ups disliked Sachiko to the point of secretly trying to kill her multiple times. Finally, with a bizarre confession of a curse, they saw it as an opportunity to get rid of her.

The more Gojo thought, the more he felt disgusted with them.

"I see. I'll deal with them."

With that, Gojo hung up the phone.

Seeing Gojo's serious expression during the brief phone call, Sachiko had already fixed her clothes. Gojo sighed and explained what happened to her.

"Wow, they sure have wild imaginations or should I rather say determination? At first, I only disliked them, now I really want to kill them all."

Gojo chuckled at that. "Don't worry too much, I won't let anyone take you away. If those cowards dare to do so, I'll just kill them all."

Sachiko frowned, "But I thought you said it wouldn't make a difference."

"I did. But, I'm starting to think maybe it was necessary if I truly want to change Jujutsu world. They're just full of themselves and try everyway to suppress new generation. This incident just proves how far they are willing to go." Gojo shook his head.

"Maybe that's why they choose this timing. You're supposed to be away for a few days until Oct 30. And with me gotten rid of while you're gone , they have one less thing to worry. Then, boom, Oct 31, in Shibuya, the curses group have plans." Sachiko said.

"I know. That just proves there's indeed a mole in higher-ups working with them. This whole incident about accusing you as a traitor might also be part of the plan."

"Maybe." Sachiko agreed. "Do you think I should check some possibilities?"

Gojo nodded.

A while later, Sachiko let out a long sigh, then shook her head slowly. "I can't see anything. It's like I was looking at a black screen. There was nothing I could see even after trying to push my limits. But that doesn't make sense. Even if the other party was strong, I should be able to see. Only the control part or making things possible shouldn't work."

"How strange." Gojo commented.
