A/N: The ghost or spirit of Ai Hoshino was thought on the spot, based on the music video made on YOASOBI. I thought of it when watching the video at 3:07. And her mood is kind of set as 1:52 and 2:04.

Full disclosure: I didn't exactly put much thought into it. Except for multiple ways of how she could die or pass away.

There were three possibilities ( or more ) on how she could have passed on as a spirit: saying "I love you" to her children when they reached a certain age (15 or 16) and then disappearing on the spot, a time limit, or finding the will to move on. Maybe any interaction would cause the spirit to decease or pop out of existence on the spot. Etc etc etc.

Well, To be honest there was no way I’m gonna put that or mention that in the last chapter. So I thought it was best I mentioned it here. Since I didn’t exactly plan on any interaction between the ghosts of Ai Hoshino. But it would be quite nice to bring the intention of what I saw in YOASOBI’s Oshi No Ko music video into this writing.

TLDR about the spirit or ghost of Ai Hoshino in the last chapter: I didn’t prepare enough. Ai’s spirit looks hot. Let's put her there in the room where her childrens are playing on their phone. Look but no touch. Look but no talk. That was the only thing that came into mind. I apologize.

The Shinomiya mansion was abuzz with activity as the morning sun streamed through the windows. The household workers were bustling about their duties, and the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the hallways. Kaguya, who had to attend school, was already up and getting ready for her day.

Meanwhile, in Gojo's room, the atmosphere was entirely different. The group gathered there had decided to skip school for the day.

Last night had been intense, and Gojo and Hayasaka were up late into the night, lost in each other's company. Hayasaka was still feeling the aftermath and lay on the bed, lost in thought and unable to get up due to the exhaustion from the passionate night.

As the others chatted and joked, Hayasaka tried to focus on their conversations, but her mind kept drifting back to the unforgettable experience with Gojo. She knew she needed some rest and recovery, but she couldn't help feeling guilty about skipping school.

Finally, she spoke up, "I think I need to skip school today. I can't seem to focus on anything, and I don't want to go to class feeling like this." The group nodded in agreement, understanding her predicament.

They decided to spend the day together, trying to lift each other's spirits and take their minds off their worries. 

"Well, we still need to find that weirdo who's the twins' father," Gojo said as he approached Hayasaka, lifting her up and hugging her from behind. He propped his chin on her shoulder, holding her close.

“Mhmm.” Hayasaka agreed with his statement

***

"Hey Kaguya. Watch this!" Flone exclaimed, as she began to make some strange movements with her arms.

Kaguya Otsutsuki furrowed her brow in confusion and asked, "What is that? Some kind of gesture?" She had paused from reading her manga to observe Flone's antics.

"It's called a dab and apparently it's a trend," Flone replied, clearly excited.

Flone eagerly explained, "It's this thing where you put your face into your elbow while extending the other arm, like this!"

Flone grinned, excited to show off her newfound knowledge. "You know what's cool about the dab? It's been used by a lot of people! It's like a universal gesture now. And have you heard the catchphrase 'dab on them haters'? It's so catchy!"

"Flone," Kaguya said, arching an eyebrow in surprise at her sudden enthusiasm. "I'm not sure if it's entirely appropriate for us to do that." she continued, attempting to maintain a serious tone.

Flone, still caught up in the excitement, continued to dab. "But it's fun, Kaguya!" she exclaimed, a big grin on her face.

Gojo, who had been listening in on their conversation, couldn't resist asking. "Flone, who taught you that? Don’t do that!" he said in shock.

“The internet! It's apparently famous to do so!" Flone excitedly said, continuously dabbing with her left elbow and then her right.

Kaguya facepalmed and let out a groan. "Oh. Now I understand why Gojo didn't want us to know about the internet. Why did I even bother helping Flone get online?" she muttered under her breath in frustration.

Hayasaka couldn't resist laughing at the scene unfolding before her and decided to join in the fun by performing her own dab, but she quickly stopped after that, realizing that they were wasting too much time on something silly. "Alright, that's enough of that," she said, trying to regain her composure. "Let's focus on the matter at hand."

***

With a determined mindset, Hayasaka began her work by scouring the internet and utilizing her professional tools to gather information on the twins' father and what a typical adult Aqua appearance looks like. She even delved into the Lalalie Theatrical Company archives of security footage, hoping to find any clues that could lead them to the suspect.

After a thorough investigation, they finally came across a distinct person who resembled an adult Aqua and who had worked with Ai Hoshino in acting school. This led them to the man they were looking for - Hikaru Kamiki.

Upon scrutinizing the security footage, they were confident that they had found the person they were looking for. Their suspicion was confirmed upon Gojo seeing his distinct, six-pointed dark star eyes, leaving no room for doubt.

After some more digging, Hayasaka managed to find some information on Hikaru Kamiki. According to her research, he is a senior university student and a current backstage actor who is working his way up the ranks in the industry with the goal of becoming an agency owner.

However, she couldn't find much about his appearance, which was frustrating. The only information she could find were minor rumors, suggesting that Kamiki keeps an extremely low profile and doesn't reveal much about himself online. There were only a few posts and suggestions about his work (movie, drama, and shows) in the entertainment industry. Which are frighteningly good.

"Ugh, what a pain in the ass this whole case is," Gojo muttered as he rested his head on Hayasaka's lap, enjoying the gentle brush of her fingers through his hair.

Yesterday, Flone had been determined to persuade Gojo to resurrect Ai, despite his initial hesitation. But there was a setback. Flone had approached Kaguya Otsutsuki with the idea of performing a resurrection similar to Gojo, but the latter had replied that she didn't have the ability to perform such a feat.

Flone realized that there was a huge difference in power levels among their group. She understood that, despite Kaguya Otsutsuki's abilities in the supernatural and chakra manipulation, resurrecting Ai was beyond their reach.

Undeterred, Flone had devised a plan to convince Gojo to change his mind. She knew that she couldn't force Gojo to do anything, but she also knew that he loved to fucking spoil his lovers. If she could get the entire group to plead with him, they might be able to sway him. It’s a halfass plan, but at least it's something to work with.

Flone had carefully considered every aspect of her plan. She knew that Gojo was a stubborn man, but she was determined to succeed. After all, she believed that Ai deserved a chance to live again, and only Gojo could make it happen.

With this in mind, she had enlisted the help of Hayasaka, Kaguya Shinomiya, and several others to gently pressure him into resurrecting Ai. While not all of them were Gojo's lovers, it was important to note that having a group of people, including several girls, gently and persistently persuading him could work in their favor.

Flone intends to create a dilemma for Gojo, where he will have to choose between resurrecting Ai Hoshino and making everyone happy, or not doing it and making everyone sad.

She already had Ruby on her side, and Ai Hayasaka is a huge fan of Ai Hoshino, making it easy to get her support. The other will definitely side with her. She was confident that the rest of the group would also side with her eventually.

So, with her allies by her side, Flone prepared to put her plan into action and convince Gojo to do the seemingly impossible. After all, who wouldn't want a second chance at life? And even better yet, perhaps she could even convince Ai Hoshino to become Gojo's lover. She seems fun to be around with!

Flone couldn't understand why Gojo was putting so much effort involved in this case if he wasn't willing to resurrect Ai. To Flone, it made perfect sense to bring Ai back to life and welcome her into Gojo's family.

When Flone watched Gojo's pained expression while he was thinking about Ai Hoshino, she became more determined than ever to turn this sad situation into a happy one. She was trying to bring a happy ending to the case of Ai Hoshino.

After all, it was him who had brought Flone back to life and made her his woman. So why was he hesitating to do the same for Ai? Was it because Ai had children? Flone knew that wasn't the case. Perhaps it was because the process of resurrection was uncertain, or because this world was different from where Flone came from. But regardless of the reasons, Flone was determined to do things her way. She always did what she wanted, and nothing was going to change that.

A/N: Unknowingly to Flone, her secret plan to persuade Gojo into resurrecting Ai would ultimately lead to unforeseen and significant repercussions in the future. Her thought process may be flawed, given her upbringing in a strict environment and a different era, which makes it difficult for her to fully understand and adapt to the current world. Especially her getting started on the internet.

“Flone, are you thinking about doing something stupid again?” Gojo questioned.

“Nothing~! Like that!” Flone excitedly said.

The group was waiting for Shinomiya to return so they could teleport to the strawberry production and resume where they left off.

***

What was Ruby’s secret plan made together with Flone to get Gojo to resurrect her mom. How will that go?

Yesterday Back in the strawberry production~

"Stars. Hoshigan. The Hoshino Bloodline. Hmm...," Flone mused, thinking out loud. "I don't know, but maybe if you and Aqua come up with a convincing story that can capture Gojo's interest, we might have a chance."

Ruby couldn't help but feel a little hesitant about the plan. "But isn't that lying to him?" she asked, feeling a bit uneasy about the idea.

Flone shook her head dismissively. "It's not lying, it's just... creative storytelling," she said with a wink.

After all, Gojo was only interested in this whole case due to their eyes that they themselves can’t see and Hayasaka’s interest. If any one of those were out, the chances of resurrecting is not possible.

~

Ruby's realization that everything in life comes at a price, and some things are simply beyond her reach, shattered her childlike innocence and left her feeling lost and uncertain about the world around her. Despite this, she found hope in the possibility of her mother's resurrection, even if it meant the idea of her bedding Gojo, whom Ruby referred to as a "handsome piece of shit."

However, Flone had pointed out that Gojo seemed hesitant about resurrecting despite his lover, Hayasaka being a fan of Ai Hoshino. Flone suggested that they create a convincing story about the Hoshigan and Hoshino Bloodline to capture Gojo's interest and make him more invested in resurrecting Ai Hoshino.

When she told Aqua about this, they were still trying to wrap their heads around the supernatural concept and didn't want to jump to conclusions without more information.

Nonetheless, Ruby and Aqua believed that Gojo was capable of resurrection since they had experienced reincarnation and witnessed how Gojo could perceive their true identities with just a close glance. This suggested to them that he had the ability to do much more than just see, perhaps even the power to bring someone back from the dead.

Together, Ruby and Flone came up with a plan to fabricate their story about the Hoshigan and Hoshino Bloodline a reality.

The ability to turn a lie into reality. That’s the story they are rolling with. It's a power that can only be wielded with both eyes, as having just one won't work as effectively. The Hoshigan that can be used by only Ai.

***
When Shinomiya returned home with a tired expression, we greeted her excitedly. Finally, we could make our way to the strawberry production.

"Heyyy, Shinomiyaaa!" Flone exclaimed as she went in for a hug.

The group had been eagerly waiting for Shinomiya to arrive at the entrance door of the Shinomiya household so that they could make their way to the strawberry production. But before they could proceed, Shinomiya interrupted with a tired expression.

"Gojo!" she exclaimed. "Surely you haven't forgotten that there's a limit to everything. I just got back from doing a lot of work, and I'm very exhausted. Surely, I deserve some rest?"

It was clear that Shinomiya had a lot on her plate, especially with the added responsibilities of managing the household now that Hayasaka was Gojo's personal servant.

As Shinomiya slowly and politely pushes Flone from her grasp. Gojo had an answer to this already.

"If it makes you feel better. I just wanted to let you know that your father has approved your relationship with Miyuki, the class council president," Gojo said, nodding his head. "But marriage may not be possible yet. But I'm sure you two can handle that just fine." He couldn't help but let out a small laugh as he recalled the sheer madness of his own unconventional courtship of Hayasaka, all while trying to assist Kaguya Shinomiya with her own romantic endeavors.

“FATHER DID?!” Shinomiya exclaimed in shock.

“So, how about we go to the strawberry production to finalize the sponsorship?" Gojo suggested with a mischievous grin.

“Fine.” Shinomiya sighed.

The group's sudden teleportation into the living room of the strawberry production building startled Miyako, causing her to jump in surprise. Ruby and Aqua had eyes widened in shock at the revelation they can teleport.

Flone, on the other hand, appeared and greeted Miyako with a warm smile.

"Hello there, Miyako! Sorry for scaring you," Flone said while shaking her hand.

Miyako took a moment to catch her breath before responding. "It's okay, I'm just surprised. How did you all just...appear like that?"

Gojo stepped forward with a grin. "Teleportation. Pretty cool, huh?"

Miyako's eyes widened in disbelief. "Teleportation? How? No. That's amazing!"

Ruby and Aqua exchanged excited glances, realizing that they had just witnessed a crazy supernatural ability firsthand. The possibility of their mom resurrecting keeps resurfacing in their thoughts. The only thing left is to convince Gojo.

Flone immediately went to explore the kitchen. Opening the fridge and started rummaging through its contents. She pulled out various items, including fruits, vegetables, and even a carton of milk. "Oh, this looks good," she muttered to herself as she grabbed a handful of strawberries and popped them into her mouth.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyako were discussing their plans merrily. While also bringing up a NDA (non-disclosure agreements) about what they just saw. Gojo and his family members are VVVIP status in the Shinomiya family and they themselves cause a lot of trouble.

***

Miyako had always been nervous around people with power and influence, and the Shinomiya family was no exception. Their wealth and status were well-known throughout the country, and the prospect of dealing with them made her feel uneasy.

As she prepared for the second meeting with the Shinomiya family, Miyako's nerves started to get the best of her. Being in the presence of such a prominent and wealthy family made her palms sweat and her heart race with anxiety. However, she took a deep breath and reminded herself that she was a capable and competent businesswoman, fully capable of handling any negotiation that came her way. After all, they had already secured a sponsorship; now it was time to finalize the contract and sign some necessary NDAs. Once this is done, they won't have to worry about money anymore.

A/N: How much are they getting? A lot. I don’t know.

~

The twins stood in front of Gojo, their eyes pleading for his help. "Please, Gojo-san," one of them said. "We know you have the power to bring people back from the dead. Please bring back our mom Ai."

Gojo was taken aback. How did the fuck did they know about that? He had some doubts but he turned to Flone, who was nonchalantly stealing food nearby. "Did you tell them about my power?" he asked her.

Flone shrugged and grinned as she munched on some smoked salmon. "I guess they figured it out on their own," she said.

So, she did. That explains a lot.

"Why should I?" Gojo asked, raising an eyebrow with curiosity. "What do you have to offer me in exchange for the feat of resurrection?"

Aqua's eyes glinted with desperation as he demanded, "You are interested in our eyes, right? Then take my eyes, my soul, my lifespan, or whatever! Nothing else matters besides bringing back Ai."

Gojo shook his head dismissively. "Sheesh, talk about desperation. Nope, you guys don't have anything that I personally want. Honestly, the Hoshigan is kind of useless—"

Ruby's voice darkened as she interrupted, "What about Ai's eyes? The ability to turn lies into reality. A unique ability only to her. Those bearing the Hoshino blood can use it."

Gojo's expression turned into confusion. "What the hell?"

"Ai's eyes," Ruby continued. "You should be able to find more about her eyes than we ever could. After all, Aqua and I only inherited HALF. Top it all off, it may not even work on us as well since we are reincarnated or due to some special circumstances. It might even function if there is one more user alive."

Gojo played with his words, smirking. "Heeeeh. Are you suggesting that we should retrieve her corpse and I examine it?"

"No," Aqua said urgently. "What we are saying is you should resurrect her and find the answers yourself by asking her yourself."

"Yeah!" Ruby chimed in excitedly. "Mom is aware of her own ability better than anyone. Her wish of lies becoming a reality."

Gojo's skepticism was clear in his voice. "You know how sketchy this sounds? A lie that can manifest into reality? Aren't you someone who believes logic or something like science triumphs everything?"

"Considering how I fucking reincarnated," Aqua said, desperation creeping into his voice, "I can say the supernatural triumphs those who could never understand it."

"Heeeeh." Gojo shook his head, but there was a hint of amusement in his tone.

'Interesting,' Gojo thought again. 'They are both trying hard to convince me that there's more to it. It's like a last-ditch effort.'

“Come on Gojo, these kids need their mom. Are you really serious about not going to help them?” Flone asked, her voice laced with disappointment and a hint of frustration as she approached Gojo.

“They have an adoptive mom.” Gojo replied, still confused and trying to maintain his composure.

“They are biologically motherless,” Kaguya Otsutsuki quietly interjected, her tone serious and empathetic.

“Didn’t you say you were going to do something for them? For Ai and her children,” Hayasaka chimed in, her eyes filled with concern and empathy.

“Look, the point is that I only intend to help regarding the killer—” Gojo attempted to shift the discussion to another topic, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the emotions in the room.

“”I can take care of that myself”” Ruby and Aqua both said in unison, their voices determined and resolute, as they refused to let the conversation stray away from their mother's resurrection.

Gojo considered this for a moment. He had always been someone who used his powers solely for personal gain, but the notion of reuniting a broken family struck him as surprisingly virtuous. "Alright," he said, "I'll do it. But you have to understand that there are prices to pay for bringing someone back from the dead."

‘Well, if this shit goes downhill, it's not my fault, it's theirs,’ Gojo also thought as he looked at the twins with his sunglasses.

“We understand.” The twins eagerly answered.

“Good.” Gojo replied with a smile.

‘I wonder what type of favor I should ask from them though. A lie that can manifest into reality? What can I do with that in this world?’ Gojo contemplated, engrossed in his own world of thoughts of the possibilities with this unknown ability.

On the other hand,

"Ugh, can you believe it? That Gojo? That handsome piece of shit." Ruby muttered to Aqua as they walked away from the group. "I can't believe he's seriously considering bringing back mama only if he gets to sleep with her." 

"I know, right?" Aqua agreed. "It's disgusting. But what else can we do? We don't have any other options, and we need Ai back." 

"I just hope he doesn't give her any diseases or something," Ruby said, shuddering at the thought. 

"Hey, at least a one-night stand is cheap compared to a resurrection," Aqua joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"That's true," Ruby laughed. "But still, the idea of Gojo with mama makes me want to puke."

"Yeah, me too," Aqua agreed. "But we have to suck it up and deal with it. It's the only way we can bring her back."

Flone, the one responsible for planting the idea in the twins' heads, was happily eating stuff she stole—FOUND in the fridge. After all, the idea of bedding Ai Hoshino was not what Gojo had in mind as a price for the resurrection.

***

Gojo slowly gave it some thought once more about the circumstances surrounding Ai's death. There were so many theories floating around - was it possible that Ai had staged or planned her death? After all, she had been with that Hikari guy at the time, and she too had those dark star eyes.

Nawh. You know what? Forget about all that. Focus on the present situation. Resurrecting Ai is a bit of a simple task. But I don’t plan on doing this halfass.

He would retrieve her corpse and combine it with her spirit to resurrect her, just like he had done with Flone. It was time to go grave robbing AGAIN.

A/N: I wanted to say that this chapter may not have been exactly what I had in mind, but it should work. Coming up with this was kind of hard and I wanted to rush through it. But this still took so damn long to finish 💦.

See you in the next chapter, where all the things you may want to know...will be revealed.
