"This?" I questioned as I walked out into the room. "This is what I'm supposed to wear?"

I looked down at the sorcery outfit Suguru found for me to wear.

Not only was I dressed as a fucking sorcerer, the outfit was composed of a short ass, pleated skirt and an unnecessarily tight long sleeve sweater.

"How the hell am I supposed to fight and train in this?" I asked as I looked back up at Suguru who, annoyingly so, seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Eyes up here!" I demanded as I laughed and snapped my fingers at him.

Slowly, very slowly, his eyes trailed up to my face, "You look hot."

"No, I look ridiculous," I turned around. "I'm pretty sure you can see my ass."

I kicked my leg up, "And I don't even want to think about what happens when I try to fight."

He shrugged, "That's what the shorts are for."

"The spandex!?" I laughed. "Those barely fit too! This student uniform was made for a 14 year old girl! Not, well... me."

"A grown ass woman," he smirked as he stood up and walked closer to me. He licked his lips lightly, that devious look in his eyes.

"Alright," I grumbled as he wrapped me in his arms. "Get ahold of yourself."

"I don't think I can," he laughed.

"Look, I'm serious," I pouted playfully. "If I have to be your prisoner, can we at least get me some clothes that fit?"

"Quit saying that shit. You're not a prisoner."

"Oh really?" I smirked up at him. "So I can go home then?"

He rolled his eyes, "Fine... We can go shopping later."

I shook my head, "Just take me to my apartment. I can't afford to buy new clothes."

"Maybe I want to buy you new clothes," he smiled as leaned in to kiss me. "And we can get you a little something laced for later," he purred into my ear.

"Ok, still riled up from earlier I see," I laughed and pushed him away. "Settle down."

I walked towards the door, eager to get to the training fields so I could at least make an appearance before lunchtime.

"Are you coming?" I called back when I realized Suguru was still just watching.

He jogged up to me, putting his arm around my shoulder as he caught up and walked next to me, "I'll take you back to your apartment later."

"To stay or to just get clothes?"

"I would count on it only being for clothes and whatever else you need for the week."

"I'll take what I can get I guess," I smiled as I leaned my head on him.

Gojo smirked as we walked onto the fields, "This is a school for children, Y/n."

"You're the ones who didn't grab me any clothes," I shot him a glare.

"Oh, I wasn't talking about the outfit," he laughed. "The walls are thin sweetheart."

He shot me a wink before walking away, and my face went bright red as I quickly looked down. I don't think I had ever felt so embarrassed in my life.

Thinking back, I realized how loud we were... But in the moment I had absolutely no control over any of it.

"Ignore him," Suguru smirked at me. "You're on the opposite side of campus from any student rooms or classes."

"Really!? Oh thank goodness!" I let out a sigh of relief.

I'd been here for 24hrs. I didn't know where anything was, but more importantly, I didn't need students knowing anything about my relationship with Suguru.

Especially not that...

"Y/n-sensei!!!" Nobara scolded. "What the hell!? Who sleeps in until lunch!?"

"Is it lunch already!?"

"Yes," Maki huffed out annoyed.

"Ah! That's great!" I laughed as I looked up at Suguru. "I'm starving."

"I bet you are," Gojo rolled his eyes.

Suguru shot him a look, "She didn't eat dinner either."

I really didn't want to do this awkwardness today. Gojo and Suguru need to handle this on their own.

"We can still train for a bit after lunch," I smiled at the two girls. "But I need to go shopping today and grab some clothes, so it won't be for too long. I'm really sorry I overslept!"

"Shopping!?" Nobara squealed. "Can we come!?"

"Yea! We should all go!" Yuuji chimed in.

"Oh, uh," I looked up at Suguru. "Can they?"

I really didn't know the rules of this place, so I didn't want to assume anything.

He shrugged, "Fine with me."

**Geto POV**

"Just wait here!" Y/n called out as we all approached her apartment complex. We were still going shopping, but she wanted to stop here first.

The students were all so excited to be here with her. Satoru, on the other hand, wasn't as thrilled even though he still insisted on coming.

Satoru and I stood next to each other, and while everyone was focused in on their own conversations, I thought now might be a good time to finally ask him what was going on.

"So?" I questioned softly as I glanced over at him.

His eyes flickered up from his phone, "So what?"

"You finally want to tell me what's going on with you?"

He shoved his phone in his pocket, letting out a deep sigh, "What do you mean?"

"Come on Satoru, with Y/n..."

He took a step closer to me as he crossed his arms, "You shouldn't trust her."

"And why not?" He kept saying that, but he wouldn't explain himself.

"Shit just isn't adding up... " he shook his head. "She says she's loyal to the protectors, but she's barely been putting up a fight. She came with us, she handed over the hourglass, she's fine staying at the high school."

I was really starting to get pissed now, "Did you ever think that maybe she actually means it when she says she's doing it for me? To give us a real chance?"

"No, and I'm not going to lie to you," he answered plainly. He tipped down his glasses to look at me before speaking in a hushed voice, "I don't think she gives a fuck about you Suguru."

It felt like being stabbed in the heart when he said that. To have my best friend, the person who knows me better than anyone, really believe that... It fucking killed me.

I could barely even breathe now as I thought it over. If Satoru was telling me that, then it wasn't something I could just ignore.

Maybe Y/n really isn't someone I could trust. Maybe I should listen to him. He's always had my back. Why would this be any different?

I couldn't ever choose some girl I just met over the guy I'd known for most my life... Could I?

"Do you really think she would do that to me?" I finally forced myself to look at him, honestly fighting with everything I had not to cry in front of all our students during broad daylight.

He nodded, "She has something planned Suguru. I just know it. And I don't want to see you get hurt."

**Y/n POV**

I couldn't believe they actually let me come to my apartment alone. They really were starting to let their guard down.

But I wasn't.

I quickly rushed to my bathroom, opening the bottom cabinet of my sink. I felt along the back of it until my fingers finally brushed up against a small piece of paper.

I pulled out the note to read what they had left behind for me.

Relocation 7

I let out a sigh of relief before walking over to the toilet and flushing away the evidence.

Not that there was much to hide. Sorcerers wouldn't know what the message meant, but either way, I didn't want them knowing I had contact.

Honestly, I didn't even know if I still wanted contact.

Suguru was changing everything for me. I'd die for that man... I'd probably even kill for that man.

I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything, and part of me was fully prepared for it to be us versus the world

But what if I chose him over everyone else, and he still chose sorcerers over me. What the hell would I do then? It was so terrifying to think about.

I already knew the Protectors would realize I was taken along with the hourglass, and I knew they'd leave behind instructions just as we always planned in case of something like this.

My parents led the organization, but I never wanted that kind of responsibility. Still, as far as rankings go, I was up there. And because of that, they almost always had surveillance on me.

I obviously messed up with the hourglass, but I'd just have to cut my losses with that one. It was powerful enough, but it wasn't nearly as powerful as some of the other ones which was good.

At least now I had confirmation everything else had been relocated and is still safe.

Part of me felt guilt about hiding it, but I'm still not a sorcerer. Besides, no one from Jujustu High asked me about any of this, so I technically wasn't lying about shit.

They were too obsessed over the fact that they even captured a Protector that they hadn't at all thought about what that actually meant.

And there's way more of us than they realize, with plans far greater than anything they're anticipating.

So now, I just had to wait and see if any other directions were sent my way... and make a fucking decision on who I would choose if it came down to that.

I laughed softly to myself because who am I kidding with that bullshit. I already knew I'd choose Suguru. A thousand times over.

I hurriedly changed and shoved everything I needed into a small duffle bag to not keep them waiting much longer, but as I ran back into my living room, I smacked into Suguru who was standing near my front door.

"Hey," I laughed awkwardly as I stared up at him. "Whatcha doin?"

I furrowed my eyebrows as I took a closer look. His face was wrought with pain and disappointment. It honestly looked like he was about to cry.

"Suguru, what's wrong?" I asked him before touching his face softly.

He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into a hug, melting into me as he buried his head in the crook of my neck.

I hugged him back as concern flooded over me. Did something happen while I was gone? It had only been like 5 minutes.

I gently rubbed his back and ran my hands through his hair, trying to comfort him the best I could despite not knowing what happened.

"Are you ok?" I finally asked again as his breathing began to slow.

He shook his head, "No..."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not now."

I nodded as I let out a soft sigh. I didn't really know what I should do at this point.

I grabbed his face in my hands, making him look into my eyes. I gave him a soft smile as he stared at me. Those beautiful dark eyes always made my heart flutter, "I love you Suguru. And I'll always be here for you."

I waited for him to say it back, and it was a little weird when he didn't. He usually couldn't wait to say he loved me.

Still, he was obviously going through something so I ignored it. No need to make this about me.

Instead, I pulled him into a soft kiss before grabbing his hand and intertwining it with me.

"Ready?" I smiled up at him.

He nodded but didn't say another word. I wanted so badly to know what was going on, but I didn't want to push him, so I just let the way downstairs.

Suguru loves me, and I know he'll talk to me when he's ready.
