Chap 185: Geto’s entounter with Toji.
"Hm~hm~hm~," happily humming on a beaten gravel path is a girl wearing black baggy pants and a tight-fitting button-up shirt in the same color.
Geto's steps were full of joy when they suddenly stopped, it was not a sense of danger, something she couldn't quite put a finger on.
"Hello there young blood." A womanly voice came from behind, Geto jumped and turned sharply.
She had her long hair in a ponytail, much like Takumi, and wore khaki pants and a black tank top. Both of which did very well to complement her muscular body.
The only thing lower that beauty is the more creepy creature. It dragged her attention in a not-so-nice manner, a grotesque worm thing draped around her neck, spiraling past her hip.
"H-hey, miss, you lost or something?" Geto eyed her suspiciously.
'There was someone behind me?' What weirded her out even more is the lack of curse energy, she sensed nothing. Absolute nothing from this woman.
"Nah, just looking for you, you're Takumi's girlfriend, am I right?"
She leaned casually against a tree, her arms loosely folded over her chest. There was an easy smile on her face, the kind that made her appear relaxed and approachable. If she were an ordinary person.
Geto's eyes were already studying the woman in front of her.
'Wait...that scar...' Geto knew immediately, the lack of curse energy plus the scar on her lips.
"It's an honor to meet you in person, Miss Tojiko." Geto's posture subtly straightened.
"We met ?" Tojiko raised an eyebrow.
"You teach P.E at Jujutsu High, though me and my bestie aren't forced to take your course."
Tojiko's expression remained blank. She tilted her head slightly, as if genuinely trying to recall the memory.
"Funny you say that, I'm not good with faces."
She couldn't tell whether Tojiko was genuinely forgetful or simply didn't care enough to remember people. Judging by the vibes she gives off, Geto suspected the latter.
"So, is there a reason for our unannounced meeting ?" Her mind was planning out strategies, while keeping a harmless look. Her tone remained light, but her eyes had become noticeably sharper.
"My husband." Toji pushed herself away from the tree, arms falling naturally to her sides.
'Shit.'
"That's right, shit indeed." She responded immediately like she just read Geto's mind.
"Don't tell me you're on a quest for revenge ?"
"No, I don't think so. Here's the thing, young blood," she began, walking in circles, Geto mimicked her steps. "No matter what you think, no matter how smart you are, I'm first, always has, always been."
"And now you're here, to prove who's better, to show who's gonna be the only one ?"
"No, Takumi would be sad if the two of you die, so this is more like a........welcoming party." The worm's mouth opened, Geto watched and put up a barrier seconds after seeing Toji draw out a Spartan M6 laser cannon from Halo.
Bright ray of red light sweeps the area, the ray splinters off when it hit Geto barier, turning into smaller rays that dissipate in the clear sky.
"Maximum: Uzumaki." A purple beam of concentrated curse energy fired back.
Geto knows nothing about Toji, but she can deduce from the fact she has no curse energy means she's has a heavenly restriction. She is absolutely strong, strong enough to be by his side.
Geto squinted her eyes, no movement, Geto can't rely on her normal senses when dealing with this monster of a woman.
Spreading out tiny third-grade spirits, she let them roam an area covering her 360⁰, as sending out high-tier spirits would be a waste of her resources.
A surprise punch landed on Geto's stomach, it went so far into her guts, it almost came out of her back.
*Blergh*
'How, she get past my trap, and my barrier didn't even detect her.' Fear gripped her heart, the difference in power was shocking.
Vomiting blood from her mouth, Geto tries her best to stand. Toji put a foot into her ribs, a summon caught between block most of the damage but still making Geto roll a couple times on the gravel.
To a surprise, Geto, Toji swung down hard with a nichirin blade.
She dodges, missing by her neck. Waving her finger, two more curse spirits show up.
"Heh." She kicks the first one, braking it's face, then whipping out a double-barreled shotgun from Doom, hundred metal pellets shred the second.
A smile slowly formed on Toji's face, "How you hangin?"
"Good." The words came out a little forcefully, summoning a healer spirit, Geto's ribs healed albeit slowly.
Toji raised her two M16s, it's barrel aim at Geto.
Making a finger gun, smaller curse spirits were shot out like bullets.
*pop* *pop* *pop* *pop*
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
They ran parallel to each other, Toji only shot the spirits that had a chance to hit her. Each bullet hit them midair with precision, any missing shot logged into the trees or ground, twisting them with the spirits' technique.
"Uzumaki!"
Toji's worm spat out a black knight shield from darksouls in front of her, it got melted while deflecting the death ray but it was able to mask Toji presence.
Geto throws out a giant worm to protect herself. Running from behind, Toji gently cuts a perfect circle through and jumps out on the other side.
Her weapon changes again, a big black...rocket launcher with a bayonet the size of a machete attached to its front. Kalina Ann, from DMC.
*Bang* A homing missile fires out.
A rock wall with human faces covered Geto's whole body, shielding her from the blast.
Fire and shockwave rock the trees nearby. When the light faded, anything outside the rock dome got burnt in a full circle of ash and blackened dirt.
The world moves in slow motion, Toji pulls out small knives and needles, with a simple flick of her finger all of them were turned to projectile that pierce right through their head and heart.
Not stopping, curse spirits began to appear in a flood. Toji simply swapped her weapons.
*Bang* *Slam* *Thud* *crk!* *Bang*
Whipping her nunchuck in a complete circle, all the spirits that ran toward her got demolished within a single strike. That wasn't enough, more was coming, so she ran while keeping the same motion, hitting them as she goes.
"Net, barring, fang and holws, marks of clans." chanting as fast as she can, Geto intent on using her next Uzumaki to end the fight.
*Boom* *Crack*
Before she can utter another word, a red end of a three-section staff broke through. Geto started to see stars by the next hit as she got flung out from her dome.
In Toji's hand, the playful cloud tore her curse spirit into pieces. She stood over Geto, changing her weapon into the split soul katana.
Raising it high in the air.
"Welcome to the family. Third wife." Driving the pommel of her sword down, hit Geto's head and she got blacked out.
