Sea Of Stars | Satoru Gojo Fanfic (JJK)
The same girl who adores the skies above.
Following the blindfolded man's introduction, an extended period of silence ensued. I smirked at him as he scanned me from head to toe. Surprise, Toru.
Naomi
Naomi Fujiwara, the commanding officer of the S Grade Execution Unit. I am here to keep an eye on Sukuna's vessel. And if you want to crush someone, I recommend that you kill the old man who recommended me to the higher-ups.
Strangely, I didn't exactly seem very enthused when I introduced myself because there's really nothing to get excited about here. The second years also left, looking in disbelief at this guy. I then saw the Yuji Itadori heading towards our direction.
He was quite surprised by my response. Most likely because he believes that I am on the side of the higher-ups and wants to destroy Sukuna's vessel, which was cowering behind his back like a terrified worm.
Naomi
I have no intention of murdering the itty-bitty worm that is standing behind you, unless, of course, he causes a significant amount of disruption. Given that he is such a valuable ally, I can't really comprehend the reason behind his existence being put to death. This task was recently assigned to me, it was ordered by the higher-ups through Gakuganji. You can say that this is against my will to babysit that kid.
He couldn't possibly have anticipated me to be like this, could he? It's a good thing I don't really care what he's doing or why he opted to use Sukuna's vessel as a student because I have no interest in either of those things. I agreed to it so that I would have the authority to offend the elderly man at any time and to gather information about my brother.
Satoru Gojo knows a lot. He is the chosen one and being close to him has its perks. Maybe I can milk him off with information about the death of my brother.
He was too busy examining me to consider whether what I was saying was genuine. I raised an eyebrow in his direction, unsure of how he was going to react because I couldn't see his eyes.
After a few more moments had passed, he greeted me with a broad smile. Comparable to a kid who obtained his preferred sweet as a prize.
He then placed one arm on my shoulder and smiled widely.
Satoru
Thank heavens! I thought they brainwashed you, Naomi-chan!
I yanked his arms away from me and glared at him with a death stare.
Naomi
Even though we share the same beliefs, it does not necessarily indicate that I agree with your plans. I am still the commanding officer of the S Grade Execution Unit, and I'll continue complying with their orders.
However, the man appeared unconcerned by what I had to say, as evidenced by the fact that he maintained his cheerful demeanor throughout. Totally not the type of person I was anticipating he would be after ten years. Actually, he appears rather stupid now. His blindfold makes me wanna laugh at him. The only thing that stood out for me was that he's now like a fricking tower.
How did he become so tall like this!?
Megumi
But why have the higher-ups dispatched a member of the execution squad? Aren't you people busy? According to what I've heard, you were based overseas. It's Gojo-sensei's job to watch over Japan.
I turned to face the newcomer who stood behind Satoru Gojo at the same time. After that, I had no trouble recognizing him.
Naomi
Oh, here we have another member of the Zen'in clan.
I mumbled to myself as the identity of this child suddenly dawned on me.
It is the child of Toji. I was able to observe the abrupt transformation in expression that Satoru Gojo displayed. Did he actually think that I forgot about this issue that happened?
Naomi
Yeah, we do have a lot on our plate. I just returned to Japan yesterday and was promptly directed to Tokyo at the request of the principal of Kyoto High School. As for why they chose me over all other Jujutsu Sorcerers, perhaps it was due to the old man's proposal.
I responded with an expressionless face.
Principal Yaga
Is he still putting pressure on you?
Yaga brought up the subject this time.
I heaved another dramatic sigh and nodded my head once more.
Naomi
He has not given up on the idea that I shall serve as Sukuna's vessel. Not this unfortunate individual over here.
I quickly moved my sight away from the man with brownish pink hair who appeared to be on the verge of passing out at any second now.
He uttered such words in a state of shock. As was to be expected, he does not know too much about the world into which he has just plunged.
I smirked at him before saying.
Naomi
Yes. I was supposed to serve as Sukuna's vessel, but I declined because our clan was responsible for his death. Why should we take him in when we were the cause of his death?
I boasted with arrogance. The expression on Yuji's face is hilarious. If no one were observing us at this time, I would have taken a picture and used it to blackmail him in the future.
As he pulled at the hem of Satoru's uniform, he gave the impression of a young boy pleading with his father for assistance. When the other guy saw his face, he just laughed at him.
To my surprise, a mouth appeared beside Yuji's eye, and it spoke.
Sukuna
You really are the chosen one of that bitch. You have her eyes.
Yuji immediately covered the side of his eyes, looking so scared.
Yuji
I'm sorry! It was Sukuna, not me!
I blurted out. He really contained Sukuna inside him. It made me wonder now if he's somewhat related to us.
Sukuna
You even sound the same. Just wait until I regain all my power. You'll definitely die on the spot alongside that Gojo.
I snickered by the thought of Sukuna, threatening to kill me. As for Satoru, when I turned to him, he didn't even look bothered by it.
Satoru
Do you want to have juice and talk about how to crush that old man from Kyoto? You're welcome to join me. In fact, I'm about to go buy desserts, do you want some?
Satoru Gojo said in a very lively manner.
Naomi
Is he really like this?
I asked Principal Yaga with a very confused look.
He just looked away and nodded, kinda ashamed of how this white haired man is acting.
Naomi
Well, I'm not going to be the lively bodyguard who has to be so close to everyone but you can expect to see me lurking in the shadows. Until then, see you around.
I walked away from them, waving as I did so.
Naomi
This is not very interesting.
I muttered to myself as I watched the kids practice for the fifth consecutive day.
"You have such a disheartened appearance right now." Kuro, who was currently resting his back against the porch and looking away from the field. He is my only kitsune who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors.
He turned around and pointed at Megumi and Yuji as they ran around the track.
"If you're really bored, you can join them." He made fun of me, knowing that I hate such activities.
I rolled my eyes and was going to advise him to do what he recommended, but I sensed the presence of another someone behind me.
Fetching my phone inside my pocket, I saw a text from one of my members in the execution unit asking me about when I'll be back in America.
I just ignored it and sighed before putting it back and looking at the students once again.
Satoru
Yo! It's been a long time. How are you? You really did mean it when you said you'll be lurking around.
I turned around and saw the infamous Satoru Gojo standing behind me. He was dressed casually, and instead of the blindfolds, he was sporting a pair of dark-tinted sunglasses just like the good old times.
Because of his attire, he could easily be mistaken for a supermodel, not going to lie about it. On the other hand, I can't take him seriously when he's wearing blindfolds with his uniform because they look ridiculous.
"Geez. Naomi, are you planning on getting rid of me?" Kuro then suddenly acted like he was hurt, like he was shot through his heart.
Before turning my attention back to Satoru, I rolled my eyes at him.
Satoru
Both the higher-ups and members of the other clan have spoken highly of you. I never thought that I'd see you here again.
He said it so casually, as if we're just like before. He even stood next to me while he observed the kids below.
Naomi
Does that include how pretty I've grown, Mr. Gojo?
Kuro, on the other hand, was holding back his laughing on the side.
He appeared to be perplexed about what I said.
Satoru
Geez, Naomi. Why are you acting like this, did the higher-ups really brainwash you? What happened to the Naomi I've known before?
Upon hearing that, I chuckled and stood up properly. Facing him with hands in my pocket.
Naomi
Let's cut to the chase and get to the heart of the matter. What is it that I can do for you?
Of course, I'm not dumb. It is quite obvious to me that he wants something, which is why he sought me. I know that this man does not wish to connect himself with the higher-ups and their associates. I happen to be one of the associates now, that's why I came to the conclusion that he wants something from me.
After hearing what I stated, he immediately displayed a sly grin on his face.
Satoru
You've grown so much.
Naomi
I needed to. I needed to grow up.
After giving my response, I turned to look at the students again.
Naomi
Is it about Sukuna's vessel? Seems like you like him.
I then said, having observed that he is now staring at Yuji.
Satoru
Mhh, you're absolutely correct about that.
He concurred with a lilting tone in his voice.
I was waiting for him to state what he wanted me to do, but then he did something which caught me off guard.
After staring at me for a few moments, he took off his glasses, thereby exposing his eyes. He then continued to look at me. A pair of eyes with a brilliant blue tint that immediately brought to mind the sky. It was stunning in every way. Those eyes are without a doubt the most stunning pair of eyes I've ever come across in my whole life. Those eyes were the reason for my first heartbreak too.
Seeing it this close again after ten years brings back so many memories of our childhood.
Satoru
So it is true that you can now control your ability as a shield now.
Satoru
I'm sorry, I needed to assess you. I have to make sure that what I am about to ask you isn't that dangerous for you.
He stated with a sound of amazement which brought me back to reality.
Satoru
The cursed energy that you're emitting, I can't almost detect it even though you're using a very great amount of it now.
Satoru then glanced at Kuro, pertaining to what he said that I'm emitting a very strong cursed energy.
I cleared my throat and maintained a stiff face.
Naomi
And? How does it relate to the fact that you and I are in this place together?
He smiled at me, and it felt like a bolt from the blue. When he looks like this, this guy's charms are way over the top. Damn this guy. I feel as though my cheeks are beginning to flush right now, so I quickly averted my gaze.
Satoru
Protect Yuji when I am not around.
He sounded so sincere upon saying those words but he looks not.
Naomi
You don't really need to come all the way here just to remind me of the things that I have said earlier. As I told you, I don't have any intentions of killing him.
Satoru
I've heard what happened to your brother nine years ago. They killed Naoki.
After years, it was the first time someone spoke of my brother's name again, and a flood of memories and feelings rushed back into my body. My mind began to fill with memories that I've long forgotten.
Naomi
H-How did you know about that? What do you know about my brother's death?
Driven by the different emotions inside me, Kuro tapped my shoulder signalling me to calm down.
Naoki's case was a top secret one. The higher-ups didn't disclose the information to the public and it was just stated there that Naoki got killed by a cursed spirit.
How did this guy know what happened to him?
I can feel the tears slowly forming up on the corner of my eyes as I gripped for support on the railings beside me as I try to look at Satoru with no expression on my face.
Satoru
I am aware that you and I feel the same way about them. I intend to show them that their judgment is flawed through Yuji, and I need your cooperation to keep him safe, as you are one of the few individuals who can take on Sukuna once he's on loose.
Satoru
It triggers me when they rob someone of their youth. I know Yuji can do well. I know Naoki did well but they twisted their lives.
Satoru
And so, this is why I'm asking for your help.
I looked at him directly into his eyes.
Naomi
How can you be so sure that I'm on your side, Satoru? I am not your friend anymore, I chose to take a different path. I might be putting up an act right now.
Satoru seems to be unfazed by what I've just said to him.
Satoru
You're still you, Naomi. I am still me too. Don't try to hide that from me.
Satoru
I know you very well, Naomi. I know that behind the facade that you built around yourself, you're still that girl who loves to admire the skies above.
