Chapter 30 - A traitor

During their date,

"So, when did you start liking me?"

"From the start? You remember I asked for a photo when we first met , right? I had a crush on you since then." Sachiko said quietly which made Satoru chuckle fondly.

"So, like a love at first sight?" He asked playfully.

"...I...I didn't say that.."

"Why? I thought you like me."

Satoru pulls her a bit closer to him. When Sachiko didn't respond to him, he pouted.

"Come on, don't act like you just didn't pull me in for a kiss at the cinema."

Sachiko hit his arm in embarrassment and Satoru faked a cry.

"Dramatic.."

"You like me." Satoru said with a grin.

Sachiko was not surprised at his egoistic grin.

"What about you?" She returned the question.

"Hm? When I start liking you?" Satoru asked.

She nodded.

"Well, I've always thought you're cute when you blush. It's like you're a different person when you're with me like this."

"What kind of different?"

"Like you blasted the head of a curse that one time on a mission yet you're confused about how to use a katana properly when you train with me?" Satoru said in a playful tone.

"It's because I like you that I wanted to spend more time with you.." Sachiko blurted out."Do you have to call me out right now?"

"No, but can you repeat that? I didn't hear that properly. " Satoru said.

"I just wanted to spend more time with you training because...I like you." She said quietly.

Only when she saw Satoru's lips curled up into a teasing smile, she realized Satoru was just making her say it out loud again.

She smacked Satoru's arms at the realization and she noticed there was no infinity between them. Whether when she pulled him into a kiss or when she hit his arm earlier or when she pulled him into a hug back then, there was no infinity to stop her. Satoru had brought down his infinity completely.

Satoru yelped and faked a cry when Sachiko smacked his arm. But, when he saw Sachiko's dazed expression, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"No..it's just that I realized there was no infinity.."

That made Satoru laugh sofly, "Now why would I want infinity between us.." he rubbed his fingers on her lips, "when I could kiss you and you could kiss me back?"

"..."

"Satoru...we're in public. You can't kiss me here."

Satoru chuckled before pulling her in for a brief kiss.

"No, I can. And I will." Satoru said with a cocky grin.

Sachiko groaned but she figured she didn't dislike this at all.

After the date, Satoru took her back to the dorms.

"See you tomorrow." Satoru winked.

"See you tomorrow." Sachiko said with a blush.

"Oh, right, wanna come tomorrow afternoon? We can go somewhere together for lunch after training Megumi." Satoru asked.

"So, it's another date?"

"I think kissing you three whole times during our first date answers that." Satoru said with a chuckle.

--------------------------

"Oh, Today, Megumi's here too?"

Sachiko said as she entered the training room and saw Megumi training with Satoru.

"Sachiko!" Satoru waved at her.

"I thought you're done training with Gojo sensei." Megumi frowned.

"Doesn't mean I can't come here!" Sachiko replied. "Right, I also brought some snacks and drinks." After saying that, she put the snacks and drinks on the nearby table.

"Let's take a break, Megumi."

Satoru then headed to the table to see the snacks.

"Wow, you got Mochi too." Satoru said.

"I mean.. you like sweets.." She replied quietly.

Satoru broke into a smile at that.

"You know what else I like?" He whispered into her ear as he closed the distance between them.

"What?"

"You..of course." Satoru replied.

"Satoru!" Sachiko called out, just a bit louder than a whisper so that Megumi wouldn't hear.

Satoru laughed when he saw how Sachiko blushed and called out his name.

Megumi eyed them suspiciously but Satoru literally ignored him.

"Satoru..I thought we are not going to let the others know.." Sachiko said.

"Oh...you would rather keep this a secret?" Satoru asked playfully.

"I mean...isn't this supposed to be?"

Satoru chuckled at Sachiko's confusion, "I thought you know by now that I don't give a damn about what others think."

"Okay...so not a secret?"

"But you can try to keep this a secret if you want to." Gojo said with a light chuckle which made Sachiko think he was up to something.

Sachiko didn't have a chance to reply because Gojo needed to get back to training with Megumi.

"Now, I need to get back to Megumi. The sooner the training's done, the sooner we can go for lunch." Gojo said.

"Okay." Sachiko nodded.

---------------------------

When lunch time came, Satoru finished the training.

"It's already lunch time. So, I'll go now." Satoru said to Megumi who was lying on the floor after sparring with him.

"Whatever." Megumi rolled his eyes slightly.

"Let's go, Sachiko!" Satoru said.

"Wait, you're going with her?" Megumi frowned.

"What's the matter, Megumi chan? Do you want to come too?" Satoru teased Megumi, "But, you can't come today even if you want to."

"...."

Megumi rolled his eyes and replied in an annoyed tone. "I didn't say I want to come so please just leave quickly."

"How cruel!" Satoru acted as if he was heart-broken by Megumi's words.

Megumi turned to Sachiko and said, "I don't know if it's a date or not but just drag him to wherever you're going."

"....It's not.."

"Well, I don't actually care." Megumi deadpanned.

"Fine. Sato...I mean, Gojo sensei, let's go" Sachiko said as she literally dragged Gojo towards the door.

When the two actually left, Megumi sent a message to the groupchat with Nobara, Junpei, Itadori, Maki, Panda and Inumaki.

"I think Gojo sensei is taking Nakamura on a date."

As soon as the message was sent, several messages popped up.

"What? For real?" - Nobara

Is it even okay to spread rumors like this?" - Itadori

"I thought you're better than this, Fushiguro." - Itadori

"....." - Megumi

"That idiot did what? Is that Nakamura blind to go out with him of people?" - Maki

"Salmon." -Inumaki

"Why is he writing text messages like this? I thought Inumaki senpai could write normal text messages since it's not speaking , technically." - Junpei

"Force of habit" - Inumaki

"It surprises me a bit, tbh but I'm a panda so I don't really understand." - Panda

--------------------------

"So, what should we eat for lunch?" Satoru asked.

"Well, I'm fine with anything. How about we go to whatever restaurant you want to go?" Sachiko said.

"Hm? Did you just say wherever I want to go?" Satoru asked in a playful tone.

"..." Satoru was now wearing casual clothes and sunglasses instead of his usual blindfold. The sunglasses fall down a bit revealing his piercing blue eyes which Sachiko was sure he did that on purpose as he waited her response.

"....I said whatever Restaurant you want... because I picked where we would go for dinner lastnight." She stuttered a bit.

Satoru chuckled at her reaction and eventually said, "Alright, but don't blame me if you end up eating sweets for lunch."

"Wait, you eat sweets for lunch?"

"Only sometimes." Satoru said.

Sachiko rolled her eyes , not quite buying what he said.

Satoru pouted.

Eventually, they agreed a place to go to. It was a restaurant that had a lot of sweets menus and some savory dishes Sachiko liked. When Satoru actually got some pancakes with tons of syrup and whipped cream for lunch, Sachiko giggled.

"Guees you were serious about getting sweets for lunch." She said.

"Well, I'm in a good mood today." Satoru replied.

"Oh, really? Can I know why?"

Satoru chuckled. "If you give me three kisses, I'll tell you."

"..what?"

"Come on, don't be shy." Satoru teased further.

Sachiko was about to shove a piece of chicken into Satoru's mouth just because she can't bear with his teasing anymore when Satoru's phone rang.

Satoru frowned, a bit annoyed that he got disturbed but said nevertheless.

"I need to answer this phone so wait a minute." He then got up to answer the phone in private.

It was Utahime giving him information about a traitor.

"Muta Kokichi's a traitor?" Satoru confirmed after listening to Utahime.

"Yes. But, he is not the only one. I'm sure there could be more traitors. But, I'm afraid they are someone ranked higher and I can't do anything with just that information." Utahime said slowly.

"Well, then let's just confront Kokichi first." Satoru said. "For the other traitors, I know someone who might be able to figure out something."

After hanging up, he went back to the table and said to Sachiko, "Well, I got a phone call from Utahime about the traitor."

"Oh, so we're going to confront the traitor now?" She asked.

"Unfortunately , yes. We can't delay this because who knows what might happen to the traitor the next second ?" Satoru replied.

"Makes sense." Sachiko nodded. "Can I come too?"

Satoru grinned.

"Sure."
