Chapter 8 - Owch

(A/n: Sorry this part too so long, was watching Jojo Part 4)

"Tokyo Jujutsu Highschool," Gojo introduced, "It's one of only two jujutsu educational facilities. As a sort of cover, it's known as a private religious school," he explained, "Anway, you two are about to have an interview with the principle.," Gojo told Itadori and Matteo.

Gojo, Itadori and Matteo were walking up several stairs while on their way to a small brown and blue building.

"The principle?" Itadori asked.

"Screw this up and he could turn you down for admission, just like that" Gojo warned.

"Huh?" Itadori exclaimed loudly, "And what happens then, immediate execution?" he asked.

"Probably," Matteo responded, "You do have the soul of an extremely dangerous being that wants to kill inside of you," Matteo pointed out

"What's this?" Sukuna questioned

Under Itadori 's left eye a mouth opened up.

"So you're not the boss?" Sukuna asked Gojo, "Any hierarchy other than strength is worthless!" he proclaimed.

Itadori then slapped the mouth and covered his cheek with his hand.

"I'm sorry about that," Itadori apologized, "Sometimes he just does that," he explained.

"What an amusing body you have now," Gojo commented.

Though Matteo was unsure if Gojo was talking to Itadori or Sukuna.

"I do owe you a favor though," Sukuna said while opening another mouth much to Itadori 's displeasure, "Once I make this punk's body my own, you'll be the first one I kill!" Sukuna said.

"It's my honor to be targeted by Sukuna himself," Gojo replied.

Itadori then went to cover the new mouth Sukuna made.

"Humor me for a second," Matteo said while stopping Itadori from covering Sukuna's mouth.

"So it's the weasel from yesterday, do you want something from me?" Sukuna asked.

"Just testing something, hold still," Matteo said putting one hand on Itadori 's face.

"What are you-"

Matteo then took his other hand used his middle finger to pull down on the skin under Itadori 's left eye.

As he did, another eye under Itadori 's left eye became visible.

"Oh that's cool," Itadori said.

Then, Matteo took his index finger and pressed it into Itadori 's new eye.

"OW!" Itadori and Sukuna yelled out in unison.

"What was that for?" Itadori asked holding his eye.

"You pathetic worm!" Sukuna yelled out.

"Just wanted to see if Sukuna and Itadori shared the same senses," Matteo replied while putting his hands up.

"Interesting, you've managed to piss off Sukuna almost as much as I have" Gojo commented while scratching his chin.

"This guy is really that famous?" Itadori asked.

"Ryomen Sukuna is an imaginary fierce god with four arms and two faces," Gojo explained, "But he once existed as an actual human being, although it was over one thousand years ago" he told Itadori, "Sorcerers gathered all their might to challenge him, and failed. We couldn't even destroy his grave was as he traversed the ages after death as a cursed object," Gojo continued explaining.

"Who's stronger, him or you?" Yuji then asked.

"Well, if Sukuna regained all his power he might cause me a little trouble," Gojo answered.

"But would you lose?" Yuji asked.

"Nah, I'd win."

Matteo then grabbed his throat and began to cough.

"You ok?" Itadori asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just got something stuck in my throat," Matteo replied.

'Almost laughed, that would have been too disrespectful, even for me,' Matteo thought.

Continuing onwards, the three walked into the building in front of them

"You're late Satoru," the principle exclaimed as they entered.

Behind them, the doors closed by themselves, much to Itadori's surprise.

"Eight minutes late," the principle specified, "As usual, not quite enough to chastise you for," he said while finishing up the stiches on a stuffed animal in his hand, "I told you, fix that habit," he said.

"If it's not enough to chastise me for, then don't chastise," Gojo responded, "Besides you're just sitting around making dolls anyways, so what's eight minutes?" he asked, "Principal Masamichi Yaga," he introduced.

"These are the kids?" Yaga asked.

"Yuji Itadori! I'm into girls like Jennifer Lawrence! This is an honor!"

"Matteo Unmei, it's also an honor,"

Both kids bowed respectfully in front of the principle.

"What are you here for?" Yaga asked Itadori.

"For an interview?" Yuji responded.

"So how long do you think this is going to take?" Gojo asked Matteo as Itadori and the principle began to talk.

"Why are you asking me?" Matteo responded.

"You seem to know a lot of things, like Itadori being a vessel, and about jujutsu society as a whole," Gojo pointed out, "Just checking if you know any more," he said.

"I can't see the future," Matteo comented.

"So you can't," Gojo replied as a stuffed animal started beating up Itadori, "Then how did you know Itadori was going to eat the finger?" he asked.

"Call it a hunch," Matteo responded.

"You had a hunch that a specific kid would eat Sukuna's Finger and proceed to hold Sukuna?" Gojo asked.

"Yes?" Matteo responded.

"Checks out," Gojo said.

'What am I supposed to tell him? That I'm from another world and I took over some random kid's body?' Matteo thought.

"You pass," the principle told Itadori.

"Well, all good time to-

"Why are you here?" Yaga then asked Matteo.

'I thought I could avoid it' Matteo thought.

"To help people," Matteo responded.

"Who are people?" Yaga asked.

"Humans?" Matteo responded confused.

"Cursed users are humans, would you save them from sorcerers?" Yaga asked.

"Ok, I want to help innocent-"

The stuffed animal that Itadori was fighting then suddenly lunged at Matteo.

"People!" Matteo said while talking.

"How can you tell someone is innocent?" Yaga asked, "Curse users aren't dressed in evil clothing," he pointed out.

"If I can't tell someone's innocent, I'll help them anyways!" Matteo answered while dodging the stuffed animal.

"So, you want to help as many people as possible?" Yaga asked.

"Yes!" Matteo responded while landing a punch on the stuffed animal, though it didn't do much.

"Then kill Yuji Itadori."

"What!" Itadori exclaimed.

"If Sukuna took control, many lives could be at danger, so kill Yuji Itadori," Yaga said.

"All killing Itadori would do is push back the clock on when we need to deal with Sukuna, and I don't even know if we can," Matteo answered ducking down.

"And why can't we?" Yaga asked.

"Because whatever decided fate said so," Matteo responded pushing the stuffed animal away.

"Fate? If we are aware of fate, can we not change it?" Yaga asked.

"I held Sukuna's Finger in my hand, and what happened?" Matteo asked, "It unwrapped in my hand, not because I did anything, but because it was fated to," he answered.

"If Itadori becoming the vessel is fated then why did you help, if fate is something you cannot change then why do you try?" Yaga asked as the stuffed animal grabbed onto his limbs.

"Why?" Matteo asked, "Because fate is leading us down a path of pain and despair," Matteo told the principle, "Where good people die and curses become public knowledge, that is fate, and I hate it," he said while punching the stuffed animal.

"Hate it hate it hate it hate it!" Matteo repeated while punching the doll, "So I want to change it, I want people to live a happy life," he said.

"Who are you to determine their happy life?" Yaga asked.

"I don't," Matteo began to say before being sucker punched by the doll, "I don't think dying in some stupid game would help, if they live, they get to make their own happy decisions," he told the principle.

"And if they don't want to be saved?"

"I'll help them anyways," Matteo confirmed.

"Gojo," Yaga then called out, "Take these two to their dorms," he said.

"Did that mean I passed?" Matteo tiredly asked.

"Obviously," Gojo responded with a smile, "Now are we going to talk about all those horrible things that are going to happen?" he asked.

"Maybe later," Matteo replied.

"Thanks for not wanting to kill me man," Itadori thanked.

"No problem," Matteo replied.
