The sound of the clock ticking is the only sound that can be heard in the room. Sachiko's been nonstop teaching them for hours now, explaining things and helping them.


Currently, the white-haired girl is silently sipping her hot choco while reading all the answer sheets. With raised eyebrows and a frown on her face, Sachiko heaved a sigh, adjusting her glasses a little.


Terrible is an understatement. It was horrendous. Baji and Mikey still got the lowest scores. The two of them suck at spelling and in numbers after all the teachings she did.


"Sachin where's the bathroom?"


Sachiko placed the papers down and look at the blond male. The others are busy answering another set of questions with Mitsuya guiding them.


"I'll take you there"


Walking through Sachiko's apartment, Takemichi, Mikey, and Chifuyu are awed by how big the girl's place is. Chifuyu and Takemichi tag along as well. They even saw some expensive paintings hanging on the wall.


The four of them stop in front of the bathroom as Sachiko opened the door.


"I rarely use this bathroom since each room in this apartment has a bathroom. If you guys need anything, I'll be in the kitchen"


The three males nodded as the white-haired girl left them. But before Sachiko left, Chifuyu caught a glimpse of her eyes making the male stare in a daze at the girl.


'What the fuck was that?'


Chifuyu shake off the feeling and started to do his thing.


"Sachin is so nice!" Mikey exclaimed, waiting outside the bathroom with Takemichi.


Chifuyu's the first one to enter inside since he won their rock, paper, and scissors game.


Takemichi smiled at Mikey. He was also thinking the same thing.


"Yeah, it's a good thing that I tag along. Hina's been busy with her cram school, so she doesn't have time to teach me"


The two of them heard the creaking sound bathroom door.


"I'm done, who's next?"


Mikey immediately went inside, skipping a little with a wide smile on his face leaving Takemichi speechless. He was supposed to be the next one to go.


Chifuyu just chuckled at Takemichi's expression, patting her partner's shoulders.


"Just remember Takemichi, God loves you so much" Chifuyu whispered.


Takemichi looked at him, almost tearing up. He can't hold it any longer. He needs to let it all out.


"I think I'm going to pee in my pants"

Looking at her fridge, Sachiko facepalmed. It was empty as hell. Yuji's the one who's in charge of buying groceries today but he's on a freakin' mission.


The only thing that was in her fridge is chocolates. Lots of chocolates, courtesy of Satoru himself. There's isn't even one single non-sugary food inside.


Walking to her kitchen counter, feeling dejected as she reached out for her phone, dialing a number.


"Say Chifuyu, how about pizza for snacks?" Sachiko asked the male who's entering the kitchen


Chifuyu looked at her, nodding a little. The male sits on the counter, as Sachiko hands him water.


"I'm sure the others will like it"


Chifuyu drank the water silently observing the white-haired girl, watching her talk to the phone, with every slight movement she do. Now that Chifuyu took a good look at Sachiko, he can say that the girl is beautiful. Every move she makes is graceful.


Traveling his eyes towards Sachiko's face, the blond male can't help but wonder what the hell happened earlier. It's like he was under a spell, catching a glimpse of the girl's eyes. Unconsciously, his heart rate quicken looking at the girl.


He held his chest where his heart is located, choking a little as he put down the glass, wiping his mouth, looking at Sachiko back and forth to his chest. It's like the thing I always read in the manga.


Without the girl noticing, Chifuyu quickly left the kitchen silently with a confused face. How can this be possible?


____________________________________


"Oh Chifuyu, where did you go?"


The blond male took a seat beside Takemichi still in thought. He was really bothered by what his heart did.


"Are you okay Chifuyu?"


Snapping in his thoughts, Chifuyu nodded at Takemichi and grab the paper he was answering earlier. I need to get rid of these thoughts.


Takemichi worriedly looked at Chifuyu who's furrowing his brows, intensely looking at the paper. Did something happen?


The faux blond just sighed and focuses on his paper. He will just ask Chifuyu later.


"Can you help me with this Mitsuya?"


The lilac-haired male took the paper out of Mikey's hold and explained to him the question he was having a hard time.


'This is stressful'


Kazutora and Draken were helping Baji with some questions. The black-haired male was scratching his head, doesn't have any idea what's his friend were saying.


"Can the two of you slow down?"


Kazutora sighed as Draken deadpanned at him.


"It's not even hard to keep up. Focus on the question and stop thinking something else"


Baji looked at Kazutora defensively. He wasn't totally thinking about something else or was he...


"Look man... the two of us are trying to help you so for fuck sake just focus "


"I wasn't thinking about burning cars" He replied calmly at Draken, trying to deny the accusation but he failed, blurting out what he was thinking. It was at this moment HE knew, he fucked up.


Kazutora and Draken glare at him making Baji flinch a little.


"I-I can explain... We shouldn't resolve into violence"


The Kawata twins were silently answering, helping each other if they don't understand a question.


"Niisan, you wrote the wrong answer at number 15" Souya pointed out.


Nahoya gasped a little and quickly changed the answer.


"I thought I was correct. This is harder than I thought it would be"


Souta pats his brother's back, comforting him. The two of them were failing some quizzes because of the gatherings.


"Mama's gonna disown us if we don't have a good result this coming exam"


The younger twin sighed but his mood quickly lightens up, giving his brother a thumbs up.


"I'm sure we will pass the exam. Sachi's seems a good teacher"


Yes, they came up with a nickname for Sachiko since Mikey already has one for her.


Nahoya grinned, feeling motivated at his brother's statement as he got back in answering.


Pah and Peh were so focused on the paper. Sometimes, They would ask Mitsuya or Sachiko for help when they don't understand something.


"You guys okay?"


The two of them lifted their heads and nodded at Mitsuya.


"Oh okay. If you guys need help, I'll be with Mikey"


They nodded again and returned their focus on the paper as Mitsuya looked at them weirdly.


Sanzu glared at the answer sheet, holding it in front of his face. The questions got a little harder making the platinum blond male frown.


"You look like you're ready to fight that piece of paper"


Sanzu faced his captain who's silently reading a newspaper with a cup of tea in his hand. Because of boredom, Mucho asked Sachiko for some newspaper he can read while waiting for them to finish which the girl gladly obeyed and give him some tea.


"This is hard. Takeomi's gonna beat my ass if I fail another exam. At least Senju's doing good in school"


Mucho lifts his head, looking at the male. He knows Sanzu's not an only child. The others didn't know about the vice-captain having siblings, only he knows about it.


"That's why I brought you here so that you can learn from Sachi and save your ass from Takeomi-san"


Sanzu rolled his eyes and returned his gaze towards the paper, feeling something whenever someone mentions Sachiko. This better gives me a good result.


A sudden loud knock startled the group as they look at each other. Mitsuya got up from sitting and head towards the door. Opening the door, Mitsuya was welcomed by a tall white-haired male with a blindfold and a box in his hand, frowning a little.


"Who are you kid?"


____________________________________


A tense aura filled the room, as the white-haired male sat in front of the males, crossing his legs as he judges them.


"So... my lovely sister is teaching all of you, is that correct?"


The males flinch a little oh how serious the white-haired male's voice is, as he released an intimidating aura. Baji, Chifuyu, and Takemichi gulped a little as Mikey just stared at the male in front of him. He seems suspicious


The others prayed in silence except for mucho for Sachiko to appear right now. The smile on the male's face says that they shouldn't mess up with him.


Mitsuya cleared his throat as he tried to be brave enough in front of Sachiko's brother.


"Yes sir that's correct. We don't have any intentions besides asking her for help in studying"


Satoru nodded at the lilac-haired male, thinking about how polite the boy is.


"Where is she by the way?"


As soon as he said those words, Sachiko appeared right beside him, with a lollipop on her mouth.


"Why are you here niisan?"


Standing beside her brother, Sachiko eyed Satoru with her hands resting on her hips.


"Someone sent me a picture of my sister with a bunch of boys in her living room. Of course, me being a good brother, I have to check on her"


Toman quickly avoided the intense glare Satoru's giving them. Even Mikey who had a blank face was shaking inside.


"Can you stop scaring them?" Sachiko scolded her brother but the older Gojo just sheepishly smiled at her, clinging to her arm.


"I'm just testing them to see if they have clean intentions towards you!"


The younger Gojo looked beside her bother seeing a medium box place on the floor.


"I'm sure you'll know it right away seconds after you saw them. Anyways, what's in the box?"


Satoru reached out for the box and place it on his lap, opening it. A white fur came out from it revealing a white cat, tiredly looking at Sachiko.


"I saw this cat yesterday in a pet shop and reminded me of you"


Satoru held the white cat just like how Mufasa held Simba for the first time. Sachiko carefully stared at the cat, realizing it looked more like Satoru.


"This cat looked so much like you than I do. I'll call him Catoru"


Catoru was snatched in Satoru's arms by Sachiko, as the younger cooed at the cat's cuteness who just looked at her with an emotionless face.


A certain cat person in toman looked at Catoru with stars in his eyes, seeing the cute scene in front of him.


"Now that you mentioned it, Catoru does look like me"


Another look was thrown towards toman, as Satoru smiled sweetly at her sister.


"Sachiko, take Catoru with you and give him some milk. I'll talk to these boys for a minute"


Giving Satoru a weird look, the girl shrugged and took Catoru with her.


Satoru became serious, looking at them under his glasses, making again the boys flinch. For the past days, some investigators hired by the higher-ups were searching for Sachiko, making the older Gojo nonstop erasing their leads that could pinpoint where Sachiko lives.


He has an overseas mission with Suguru that could last for two weeks and it worries him that no one's gonna look after his sister. Nanami can't watch over Sachiko because he had some missions while Iori and all of the jujutsu tech. highschool is under the higher-up's surveillance except for Ichiji. He can ask Ichiji for help but he needs someone who can look after Sachiko from time to time.


"I know that some of you are her friends, and deeply care for her. Can you all look after her for a week?"


"Is something going on?" Takemichi asked making the others frown.


"Nothing's going on, it's just Yuji will be busy for the next few days and I need someone who can keep my sister company. I'll be away for a week because of my work. Can you guys do it?"


"I see... We'll do it, in exchange for her help" Draken said.


Satoru stood from sitting and shove his hands in his pockets.


"Then it's settled. I'm counting on all of you. If anything happens to her, I'll hunt each and every one of you"


Feeling a dangerous aura, The males managed to nod as Satoru held his hand for a handshake to Mikey.


"What's your name kid?"


"Manjiro Sano but call me Mikey," he said with a hard expression


Satoru chuckled at him, feeling amused by Mikey's expression.


"So Mikey, I'll leave the rest to you" The two of them shook their hands, as Satoru head towards the door.


As soon as Satoru left, Baji blew a loud sigh of relief. He was unconsciously holding his breath ever since Satoru talk to them.


"That man is super weird" Nahoya commented, leaning his back to the couch.


"Tell me about it. Sachi's different from him though" Souta seconded, returning his focus on the paper.


Mikey looked at his hand, as he clenched it. That man intimidated him so bad.


"You okay Mikey-kun?"


Mikey faced Takemichi with a smile on his face.


"Of course! Now, where was I...? Oh! Mitsuya help me with this one!"


Mikey left Takemichi, as the faux blond sigh and returned to his task.


"Man... I wanna pet Catoru. That cat is so cute, right Baji-san?" Chifuyu asked the black-haired boy beside him.


Baji nodded at him and showed his paper to his friend.


"Can you tell me what does number 25 means?"


"Oh, niisan already left?"


Chifuyu and Baji got startled but managed to nod at her. as Sachiko. She has Catoru in her arms, which caught Chifuyu's attention.


"Can I hold him?"


The white-haired girl nodded and handed him Catoru. She then took the paper from Baji and started to explain to him in the easiest way possible for him to understand.


After 30 minutes, the pizza already arrived. Sachiko watched them as they happily eat with Catoru on her lap, sleeping. She wasn't expecting Satoru's visit. It's unusual for him to visit her at her house because they usually meet in a cafe or shop. Something's not right is going on, that's what her gut's saying.


'I just hope nothing serious happens'
