Chapter 45 - Beginnings in Shibuya

Earlier that day

As soon as they got to Tokyo, Gojo and Sachiko headed to Shibuya hoping that they could stop the threat before the curses make a move.

"I will try to see their location." With that, Sachiko used her cursed technique.

"This way." She said, pointing to a direction.

Gojo gave a nod and followed her lead. Soon, they were in front of a restaurant.

"This is the place?"

"Yes, I saw a woman and a man sitting at a table discussing something and for some reason, I couldn't see what she looks like."

She said.

"I see. Let's go in then." Gojo said before going into the restaurant.

"Right, Satoru..." Sachiko called out and Gojo turned around.

"Hm?"

"I saw the man... His face."

"What about him?"

"It's..." Sachiko was contemplating on how she should say that. She finally saw the face of the masked cursed user and she recalled Geto Suguru's incident. She had to let Gojo know but for some reason, she couldn't tell the name of the man to Gojo. Like she was forgetting how to pronounce the name out loud.

"Sugar, you okay?"

"Yeah, let's..let's go find them first." Sachiko said slowly.

"Alright."

But when they went into the restaurant, there was already no trace of the two they were trying to find.

"They left?"

"No, they knew we were coming here?" Sachiko mumbled.

"But how did they know?"

Sachiko got a bad feeling.

"Seems like they got a counterplan for you." Gojo said.

"It seems so. What should we do?"

"Well, we will split up and see if we can find them but if it doesn't work, we will just have to deal with them later on." Gojo said.

"Okay."

So, they prepared to split up.

But, Sachiko still couldn't shake off the growing anxiety as she knew the identity of the cursed user.

'I'll try to see what he was up to. Or what this could lead.' She thought.

"Satoru!"

Her voice was a bit trembling and she felt hurt by what she saw.

Gojo was already walking away but as soon as be heard her, he turned around.

"Satoru, wait... I...I have to show you something. I have to tell this to you, no, show this to you." She said. At this point, she didn't care if something was preventing her from telling Gojo this. She would make sure Gojo would know this so that she could prevent what she saw from happening.

"The man...the cursed user...I can't tell you the name but I can show you." She said after a while. Even if something was preventing her to say the name of Geto Suguru, then she could show it instead right? Besides , if she did it in her domain, it should be possible, right ?

Gojo saw her serious expression and nodded.

She brought him into her domain before showing him the fragment she saw and the possibility of that cursed user's move.

Gojo saw Geto walking towards him with prison realm in hand. Then, he saw himself frozen on the spot, shocked by the appearance of his ex-bestfriend and he saw himself getting sealed as the result.

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

Before Sachiko and Gojo got to the restaurant ,

A girl in a black hooded jacket was admiring the view in a restaurant.

"I'm really looking forward to this day, Satoru."

Her lips curled up into a smile as she said, her left hand playing with a glass of wine.

"Well, you better take precautions since they showed up here in advance." Geto said.

"Hmm. I know." She hummed, then taking a small sip from the glass of red wine she was holding in her left hand.

"A bottle of champagne would be better but that's for celebration tonight." She said after taking another sip.

"So..is there anything else I should be aware of?" Geto asked.

"No, I got everything covered."

"Even Nakamura Sachiko? With her mother attacked, we thought she was gonna stay behind. Yet, she showed up here..as if she knew our plan."

"Oh..maybe she knew." She chuckled like she was genuinely amused.

Geto frowned at that but before he could say anything she continued , "That doesn't matter now. You'll see."

"You know what they are planning?" He asked with a scoff.

"Maybe."

"I might know more than you could imagine." She said lightly with a smile. "And that's why you are doing exactly what I tell you to tonight."

"If only that can assure our victory."

"Oh, we sure will," she chuckled, "Because I am going to make that possible."

"That's good. But one more thing." Geto said, "What do you plan to do with prison realm after that? You still haven't answered that yet."

"There's nothing I could answer to you and frankly, I don't plan to do so. You do what you have planned and I do what I want with the prison realm." She said in a nonchalant manner.

"Now, I kinda want to see what big game you're planning."

"Well," She looked at Geto in the eyes and said word by word, "You will see. But I can tell you it's going to be interesting."

Geto paused for a moment before saying , "I look forward to that."

"As long as you don't let Gojo Satoru out too soon." He continued.

She smiled at that, then checked the time on her phone.

"It's time to move to another location."

Soon after they left, Gojo and Sachiko entered the restaurant.
