Sakura Mochi (JJK x Demon Slayer)

chapter 4

Geto, Gojo and Yuji came back from the meeting room. All three (Gojo, Geto and Nanami) were really quiet

They were distracted and didn't listen to what anyone was saying

Everyone noticed their odd behavior. But no one questioned anything. Because all the ones from jujutsu highschools knew why they were so quiet

Why were they so reserved all of a sudden

It was guilt

Nothing more, nothing less

They knew it and didn't want to question anything. So they just let them be

When they reached the cars they came in. The windows quickly went back to their cars and everyone went out to go back to Jujutsu high

Yuji, Haibara, Geto and Gojo were sitting in a car together. Suddenly Haibara chuckled and patted Ijichi's back

"Did you hear the news, Ijichi?"

Ijichi looked confused and shook his head. Not to talk much as he was already sweating bullets being in the presence of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru

Haibara grinned at his answer

"Your best friend, Sakura-chan is back in Japan"

Ijichi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets and he hastily kicked the brakes, almost knocking out a tree in the process

He looked back at Haibara with wide eyes, a cheerful smile slowly stretching on his face

"Really, Haibara-san?"

Haibara loudly chuckled and patted his back again. If you noticed closely you could see a small smile on Geto and Gojo's face too

"Yes and she's coming to Jujutsu high tomorrow"

His smile widened for a moment before faltering. He looked back at Geto and Gojo with a worried look

Ijichi's reaction made them look away. They knew why he looked back at them like that. They knew, he was probably worried they would do something to her

But could they really blame him for his reaction?

The answer is no, they couldn't. They deserved it

Haibara too noticed this and put his hand on ijichi's shoulder

"Don't worry about that anymore, Ijichi. She's a changed person now. Now, she's strong as steel. You'd be proud to see her now"

Haibara said with a proud smile

Ijichi blinked a bit. A little confused but he didn't question anything back

All of these reactions didn't go unnoticed by Yuji. He was confused, did his sensei know who this woman who was saving him was?

"Haibara sensei?"

Yuji called from the back seat, earning his sensei's attention

"Yes, Yuji-kun?"

"I was wondering who this Kanroji Sakura is. I mean I know she's a very strong sorceress. I understood that much from all the explaining in the meeting but what I want to know about is how do you all know her?"

He asked curiously, tilting his head to the side in confusion

A nostalgic smile came to Haibara's lips as he looked forward at the road

By now, ijichi started to drive again

"Kanroji Sakura, she was in jujutsu high with us. Our kohai. She was in the same class as Ijichi over here, though she's a year younger than him. So she's been Ijichi's best friend for as long as I can remember"
