Unbreakable bonds?

Gabimaru dashes in the heavy rain as the lighting strikes every second. The torrential, pouring rain falling on Gabi's face blurry the sight of his surroundings. The boy speeds up as he wipes away the water that's on his eyelid to see somewhat clearer.

( This storm is not helping me. )

Gabi went between houses and jumped from house to house to reach the rooftop. "Chimera come out!" He shouted and soon enough the mixed-species beast rose from the shadows and the white-haired boy hopped on/

" Take me close to the school and make sure no one spots you." He ordered the beast and the beast followed his command.

The chimera took huge leaps from building to building to reach the location his master told him to go and the journey was a quick ride as soon they were at the front entrance the chimera disappeared and Gabi ran down the slippery steps to find his twin brother.

( Where could he be?)

Gabi just ran to the boy's dorm room hoping he would see Gojo there but before he even made it to the building he saw someone whom he hadn't seen in a while to be precise it had been more than 5 years Gabi had seen this man and it was no other than his own father.

( Tch, why now out of all times?)

Gabi was trying to walk past the man but of course, Mr.Gojo himself always had to open his arrogant mouth to feel high and mighty. " When I heard that my child whom I disowned joined Jujutsu High to become a sorcerer I wanted to laugh wondering if they were seeing right but soon that feeling of me that wanted to laugh at your pitiful goals went away when I heard the missions you went on and accomplished." Mr.Gojo said aloud eyeing Gabimaru up and down.

Although Gabi can't help but dislike his biological father he wants to drop the conversation there but his stubborn side of him was kicking making him respond to the man. " It's nice to know that you still care enough to check on me but I have more important things than spending my precious time with a spineless idiot who only has power because of his son." Gabi stick his tongue at him as he walked past his father.

" You should have stayed out of this life because a mere weakling like you will die trying to prove a useless point." His father snapped back.

Gabi turned around and shrugged his shoulders, " When I prove to you and the others old worn out geezers that I too can also be the strongest sorcerer that will walk on this earth you all will look up to me. Mark my words." Gabi left his father speechless and went ahead to find his brother.

When Gabi was in front of the boy's dorm building he saw his brother on the steps having the storm shower him. " Gojo…." Gabi uttered not minding how his white hair covered his face.

" I couldn't do it, Gabimaru… I couldn't kill my best friend." Gojo mutters, even though his eyes are facing forward you can see the blue color has faded away.

( I have never seen him like this. Gojo is always loud and arrogant. He does reckless crap because he is so impulsive... This is different than his usual self.)

" That's understandable. You two were close, he brought out the good in you. What you did was a basic human reaction, you two are on different paths in life but the bond you two shared is unbreakable even in situations like this."

Gojo clenches his fists together so tight you can see his skin is turning red, "I'm so lost, I never saw the signs of him going down this path. I was so focused on myself that I never saw my best friend struggling. What kind of person am I? What kind of friend was I? I'm so utterly confused that I don't know anything…. even about myself." Gojo let out his deepest thoughts.

Gabimaru sat next to him and allowed the rain to fall on him, "You are Gojo who uses their strength for others. You are also an asshole who can get carried away most of the time but deep down you are a good person. Don't let this situation change you. Geto has chosen his path in life and you will continue staying on the path to help others. You are Gojo a person who can make anything impossible possible and you are my twin brother who shines bright." Gabi looked up to the moon that was beaming from the dark skies.

" Don't leave Gabi. Stay here please..brother." Gojo mumble.

Gabi let out a small smile, " Of course."

( Geto really chose this path. Doesn't he know after this things can never be the same? How can he achieve this insane dream of his.)

*****

After the talk Gabimaru shared with Gojo, he wanted to find Shoko to see how she was holding up. Shoko is never really the type to express her deep emotions but it still didn't stop Gabi from checking on her. There was only one place where Shoko would go in her free time and it was the library as soon he walked inside he saw the girl's head buried inside a textbook.

( Even times like this she would study.)

He attempted to creep up behind her but she caught on before he could succeed. " I know that's you, Gabimaru," She said.

"Aw, man you caught me, and why my full government? I like it when you call me Gabi." He smiled at her as he sat next to her.

" Why wouldn't I catch you? The floor is creaking genius. " She reciprocated a smile back at him but he knew she was forcing herself to do that. Her smile looked like it had zero meaning to it, it didn't feel real.

" Are you okay?" He questioned her.

Shoko sighed at him, " It is what it is. Even if I complain about it, what good can it do?" She went back to read her book.

" I understand but if you need to let out your feelings I'm right here."

" If you keep being kind I might fall deeper for you," Shoko nonchalantly said while still reading.

Gabi's eyes flew open as he choked on an invisible lump in his throat.

( Did I hear that right? Shoko just confessed to me? There's no way.)

" Yes Gabi, I just confessed to you if you're wondering. " She casually said and this time she faced the fazed boy.

( Can she read my mind?!)

" And no I can't read minds but you are so predictable. " She giggled and faced back to her book, "It's okay if you don't feel the same way but I just had to tell you."

( I should probably change the subject, if Makima heard this what might she do? Probably nothing. I don't think she is the jealous type, she is always calm even in dangerous situations too.)

For some reason Gabi couldn't change the topic, he wanted to hear the reason why she liked him. Gabimaru still couldn't grasp the fact that why would people waste their time to like a person like him? He had nothing to give but a bad reputation.

" Why Shoko?... I'm not.." Gabi couldn't continue to let out his insecurities.

" Because why not? You have a heart made out of gold. You always push forward positively even with people disliking you. You don't let their hatred define you, you prove them wrong by just being yourself, being a warmhearted person. You also push me to do better, I want to improve my curse technique so I can always heal people despite the wounds they are suffering, more importantly, I want to heal you as you protect everyone." She gripped the book tightly as she hid her blushed face. " You just being here makes me happy."

This made the white-haired haired overjoyed, hearing how he saw his hard work getting recognized but he still felt sad that he couldn't express his feelings to Shoko because it's already belonged to someone else.

(I'm sorry Shoko, please forgive me for not returning your feelings.)

" Thank you, Shoko. I was here to cheer you up but you ended up doing it to me." He smiled at her and she returned one to him and this time you could see how her eyes lit up.

****

Gabi was walking back to his dorm room to relax, a lot had been unloaded on the boy for him to even process everything. At that moment when the soaking boy was about to walk into the building someone called out his name.

" Gabimaru," The voice was soft but had a hint of annoyance in it.

He turned around seeing soaked Makima with an exasperated look on her face.

(Umm am I in trouble?)

" Maki…"

" Don't Maki me. You left me out of the blue and when I finally caught up to you I saw you with that girl.." It was dark outside the only light showing was the moonlight in the skies, as the moonlight was hitting on Makima's face you could see her colorful eyes didn't waiver, it was sterned and Gabi knew she was pissed.

" How could you say you….you…you love me and smiling in another girl's face." Makima stuttered and this was a first to hear.

( She misunderstood the conversation but is she jealous? I never heard her stumble over her words. And doesn't she know we are outside inside the perimeter of the school?!)

Gabi looked around the surroundings real quick to see if anyone was watching them and then he descended the steps and grabbed her forearm.

" What are you doing Gabi?" She tried to yank her arm away from him but he gripped her tight and pulled her inside the building taking her into his room. When they entered his room he looked both ways in the hallway making sure nobody was there then shut the door.

" Makima, we were in public. You have to keep your voice down." Gabimaru said breaking the silence between them.

Makima sucked her teeth, " Why, so Shoko won't hear us?"

( Why is she being sassy? I don't recall her being like this. )

" No, because you said people can't know about us, remember? your mother will butt in our relationship." Gabi refreshes her memory.

" Come here," She orders him.

Gabi titled his head in confusion because just a second ago she was acting like a little brat now she wanted to be demanding "Huh,"

" I said come here," She was on the edge of his bed signaling him with her finger to come in front of her. Gabi wanted to interject but he didn't want to hear her mouth so he went along.

" See I'm here," He surrenders to her.

"I hate you." She blurted out.

( Hate me?)

" I hate how you made me feel like I am a puppy waiting for love to get satisfied. I hadn't talked to you properly for almost a week and the time we were finally together you left me for Shoko. Is there something going on with you two? Are you two-timing me with that thing? Do you prefer her over me? " she questioned him to answer all of her assumptions.

" No Makima, you are reading too deep into this. We are just friends." He answered hoping this would end this silly discussion.

She raised her eyebrow, " So friends can like each other? I already know her feelings for you. I can see and hear everything, nothing escapes me."

(Shit..)

" Why are you quiet, Gabimaru? Are you hiding.."Gabi halted her questioning by shutting her up, he was kissing the moody girl and it worked. Makima wrapped her arms around his neck, tugging him to get on top of her. They both were swapping tongues tasting each other and missing the sensation. Makima broke it off as saliva was pulling from Gabi's lips, her chest was heaving up and down getting excited, "Kissing me to stop me from talking is not going to work Gabi."

" I guess I won't stop kissing you then, " He whispered against her lips and dived in again to capture her pink pulp lips. One thing led to another as both of them were naked on his bed fighting for dominance but the white-haired boy won over the red-haired girl when he thrusted into her causing her to stop moving, feeling how he was going in and out of her. Both of them knew they were playing a dangerous game but at that moment they didn't care, Makima was trying to contain her moans but failed to do it when Gabi went deep and hit a spot that caused her to yelp out loud due to pleasure.

" Hush Maki, you too loud." He let out a raspy whisper as he buried his face in the crook of her neck.

Makima grabbed onto his white hair. " Easy for to say." She harshly mumbled as she gripped his hair to help her contain her moans.

Gabi lifted his body and smirked. "I guess I have to teach you how to be quiet. "

Makima narrowed her eyes trying to understand what he meant by," How are.." As she was about to finish her question he started to thrust hard into her causing the girl yell out loud but he stopped her when he crashed his lips onto her to hush her up.

Who knew that this night would end up like this for them? The redhead girl was craving her lover and ended up being satisfied at the end of the day. That night the two of them explored each other bodies further than before, they were in their little world and nothing couldn't destroy their bond because it was unbreakable or so they thought it was. When they were finished Makima laid on his chest locking him in and making sure he didn't escape her.

" I forbid you from leaving me. You stuck with me. " She sheepishly said.

He laughed at her clingest, " Where am I going to go? " He joked with her.

" I'm serious Gabi. you are my only source of happiness, you can't leave me, if you ever do I will make sure to kill you and that's a promise, " She uttered.

Gabi rubbed her bare back, " Isn't that too extreme?" He chuckled out loud.

"Then don't leave. It's your fault anyway for making me attached. I even change my ways for you. I don't want to be the old me who felt like an empty shell. I like this feeling I feel so don't go, continue being yourself. You are a good person, too good."

" I love you Makima."

" You better, I gave you my all, literally."

Makima soon fell asleep but continued to listen to Gabi's heartbeat as Gabi fell asleep smelling her scent.

Two weeks later

News of Geto's whereabouts went cold and soon he was in the shadows, Gojo finally came to realize that it wasn't his fault that his friend became that way, he was becoming like his old self again. Other than that everything was going smoothly, Gabi was doing a solo mission investigating a missing family. At first, it was supposed to be a two-person mission but Gabi begged to go on his own. He wanted to train more and be able to practice his techniques without having people watching, it was starting to be difficult for Gabi to hide his secret. He wanted to get stronger but how when every mission he was supposed to partner up.

As he arrived in the town of the missing family something was off to the boy. As soon as he stepped foot in that area he noticed that it was a ghost town. The area was quiet as if nobody existed, there was no sign of life, there weren't even any birds in that area, nothing at all but the one thing Gabi felt was curse energy, a lot of it." Gabi walked deeper into the small town getting a feel of his surroundings.

( Oni, come out. )

Gabi kept walking deeper into town as Oni followed behind his master on guard with his sword glued to his hands ready to slay anything that came in his master's way.

( Something is wrong here. Curse spirits would have attacked me already once I stepped foot in this town. Also, I just don't sense curse spirits I also sense…)

Gabi's thoughts were cut short when he saw someone whom he thought he would never see again.

" Gabimaru, " A sly smirk on the person's face on top of a huge bird spirit coming down on the ground.

" Geto…" Gabi grabbed the sword his Oni gave him as he stayed in Och's stance ready to fight.

( I can never catch a break.)

"I'm not here to fight but we can be engaged in a battle if you want to." Geto got off the bird and stood up tall on the ground, " But why would I fight my future partner? There is no need to fight each other when we need each other."

( What is he talking about? He always tries to talk in riddles. )

"What you need is help Geto. Why would I ever be partners with you?"

"Because we are the same Gabimaru. Why do you tend to act differently from me? Why suppress your deep feelings just to please people who don't see you as their equal to them."

" I am not acting anyway. This is me and I don't care if they don't see me as one of them because no matter what I will achieve my goal."

" And that goal is to rise to the top so people will finally respect you?" Geto let out a giggle, "You can side with me and you can still achieve your goal?"

Gabi gripped his sword tight on him eyeing Geto's movements. " You can put down your weapon. I'm just here to open your eyes. Why risk your life to save monkeys? Why be a puppet for those old people who haven't fought for ages in the sorcerer world? If you don't want to listen to me you will just have to learn for yourself." Geto's eyes went dark, " You will understand me once you finally open your eyes. When you finally realize that those people who you're saving back there are holding you back from your true potential."

( He's talking all crazy again. What is he blabbering about now ?)

" Gojo was my best friend but our morals are two different, he doesn't get the bigger picture but you do Gabi. You know how cruel this world is."

" I don't have time for your nonsense. It's either you hand in yourself or I will kill you now." Gabi threatened his former classmate, " You went insane Geto."

Geto grinned happily, " You have a surprise in your room, I will just see you tomorrow Gabi and then we can talk business, " He jumped back on the bird and flew away before Gabi could catch him.

( Tch, that bastard and what does he mean about the surprise in my room?)

Gabi hurried his way back into the dorms. As Gabi ran up the stairs he bumped into a red-haired woman whom he thought was his girlfriend at first.

" Maki…" He stopped speaking and was shocked to his an older woman here.

( That was awkward. I thought that was Makima. )

The woman was in front of his door eyeing him down with a heated glare as she held something behind her back.

Gabi was getting uncomfortable feeling about this woman, " May I help you?..." He said to the woman.

" Yes, I want your filthy hands off my daughter." She sneered at him.

( So… this is Ms.Saito…. How did she find out?!)

Gabi went speechless not knowing what to say but his only thought was to escape from his girlfriend's mother. "You quiet now?" She raised her brow.

( GOSH THAT'S HOW MAKIMA LOOKS WHEN SHE PISSED.)

She took steps closer to the boy as he was backing away, " She was perfectly fine until you came into her life. Now she's broken, I don't recognize her at all. " Ms.Saito gritted her teeth as she held one of her hands behind her, "You may leave my sight," She said and stepped aside, Gabimaru took this chance to rush to his door and as soon he opened it he was greeted by Yu's body lying in front of the door with multiple knife wounds on his neck bleeding out. Gabi stood there standing above his body in shock and Ms.Saito sneakily placed the knife in Gabi's hands without him knowing because of the state he was in and whispered, " My daughter will forget about you for sure. " She whispers before she screams bloody murder.

" SOMEONE COME, THIS BOY JUST MURDER SOMEONE!" She screamed at the top of her lungs so that the whole building could hear her and soon Gojo came rushing to her side seeing his only brother with a murder weapon in his hand above their classmate's body.

"What did you do?!'' Gojo scowled at his twin as he detained his brother. Gojo places Gabi in a headlock making sure he doesn't run.

( What just happened? I'm so confused ?)

Soon Gabi started to fight back but Gojo had the upper hand and knocked Gabi out cold before their fight became serious.

*******

Gabi soon woke up in a sealed dimly lit room.

( where am I?)

Gabi tried to wipe his eyes but couldn't because something was preventing him from doing so.

(What the? Why can't I move my arms?!)

Gabi fully forced himself awake and noticed that he was chained up. " Huh? Why am I chained up? Hello?! " Gabi shouted but soon someone walked into the room and it was his brother Gojo. His brother walked up to him and his expression was unreadable. Gabimaru couldn't tell what Gojo was feeling.

" Why….?" That's all Gojo said, he wanted to hear any excuse that Gabi had to learn why his brother murdered their classmate.

"Why what?" Gabi did not understand where this conversation was heading.

"Why did you kill Yu? FOR WHAT?!" Gojo tried to hold onto his calm manner but couldn't anymore "You are supposed to be my brother, I thought we were the same Gabi," There was zero playfulness in his tone, Gojo was serious.

" I didn't kill him, I don't understand what are you saying, " Gabi truthfully told him but Gojo didn't listen.

"I saw what I saw and the higher-ups are already planning to execute you Gabimaru."

( Execute me? but I didn't kill him.)

"I'm serious Gojo, I didn't murder him! " Gabimaru yelled at his brother for him to believe him.

Gojo walked to the exit door, "You acted like we were brothers but this whole time you used me."

( Use him?!)

Gojo left the room before Gabi could even defend himself. Once Gojo left someone else walked in which made Gabimaru glad to see." Makima, what is Gojo talking about, I don't understand …." Gabimaru was cut short.

" Don't act stupid Gabimaru, " Makima's tone was different than how she normally speaks to him, her voice was filled with disgust as if Gabi violated her as her eyes were piercing through him.

( Why is she looking at me like that? Don't tell me she believes them?)

"I'm not acting anything! I didn't kill him!"

"Oh? So you weren't working with Geto? You didn't kill Yu when he found out your dirty laundry? You didn't try to attempt to kill my mother when she saw the whole thing?"

When Makima was spilling the beans Gabi was utterly shocked that this was happening to him.

" NO! NO! NO! I swear I did none of that Maki, you have to believe me, please. Why would I work with Geto, why would I kill Yu, I did no such thing. I'M INNOCENT! " He pleaded with his lover but the girl didn't budge.

She stared at him as if he was nothing more than trash on the ground. " I feel revolted now, I had to wash my body 10 times and I still feel sick to my stomach being involved with you. I wish you stayed where you came from and that's no other than garbage itself. "

As Makima announced how she felt about the boy he remained quiet listening with his head down to the person who he loved dearest belittled him.

When Makima was finished venting out her feelings she finally said, " That promise we made before is still happening. "

Gabi raised his head to face the girl with some hope in his eyes wishing she could finally see the truth that he was indeed innocent.

" I will kill you but not for you leaving me, it's for making me feel like an complete idiot," She looked at him one final time and left him in the empty room by himself alone with his thoughts.

( Maybe I do deserve this for the sins I committed in the past.)
