As Ai and Gojo entered the room, they were greeted by the wide-eyed stares of Aqua, Ruby, and Miyako. The three were together, with jaws hanging open in disbelief as they witnessed Flone, the mischievous and energetic member of Gojo's group, displaying a dazzling array of acrobatic feats.

Flone effortlessly executed breakdancing moves while in the air defying gravity, twirling and spinning through the air with grace and precision. Aerobatics, martial arts techniques, and other seemingly impossible phenomena seamlessly merged together, creating a spectacle that left the onlookers awe-inspired. She is currently borrowing a VR headset and needed some space to play beating saber. As she was singing along to the song that was coming out from the speakers on the TV.

“Can we pretend like airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now.”  Flone sang along, her voice blending with the rhythmic sounds of the game. Her goal was simple: to strike the incoming square obstacles with precision, slicing through them effortlessly to earn points and rise up the leaderboards.

‘Yeah, that song sure does bring back memories,’ Gojo deeply thought.

As Gojo and Ai stepped further into the room, their arrival caught the attention of everyone in the room. Hayasaka, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kaguya Shinomiya, Flone and the trio. Ruby quickly got up and rushed towards Ai.

"Mama! You're back!" Ruby's voice echoed with sheer delight as she tightly embraced Ai, holding her as if she never wanted to let go. Aqua and Miyako, sighing from a sense of relief, approached Ai, joining the heartwarming reunion again.

"So it wasn't a dream," Aqua said with a sigh of relief. The uncertainty and worry that had burdened his heart and mind dissipated as soon as he saw Ai.

Ruby took a step back, her hands instinctively reaching to cup Ai's face, her eyes filled with concern. "Mama!? Are you okay? Did that white hair bastard piece of shit actually try to touch you—"

Ai nodded, her voice filled with delight as she beheld her children, safe and sound. She couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. "I'm okay, Ruby. I'm so glad you and Aqua are alright," she reassured them, her hand gently patting Ruby's head in a comforting gesture. This comfortable gesture really made Ruby shut up.

Aqua couldn't help but notice the exhausted look on Gojo's face, raising an eyebrow as he spoke. "Is that why you look so drained?" Aqua questioned, his curiosity piqued. There was a sense that there was more to the story, especially considering the radiant glow emanating from Ai's flawless skin.

Gojo nodded weakly, his energy still drained from the recent encounter. He knew there was no use hiding the truth from this perceptive child. "Yeah, Aqua. Let's just say Ai had… the vigorous night with me."

Aqua solemnly nodded in understanding, his mind racing to fill in the gaps. "Ah, I see. So, that's why you're both glowing in different ways."

Ai blushed slightly, her cheeks tinted with a shy hue, as she tried to hide her embarrassment. "Well... Gojo and I had quite an enjoyable time together." she said, her voice filled with a hint of playfulness. She couldn't resist stealing a quick glance at Gojo, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Miyako chimed in with a soft smile, her voice filled with a hint of envy. "Well, it seemed like a great night. I'm glad to see you both here. Now that you're back and with Gojo by your side, we can finally go back. I hope you enjoyed your time together." Her eyes narrowed slightly, a touch of tension evident in her expression.

Flone couldn't help but interject, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Well, it's all thanks to me. I am a genius!" As she said while trying to end the game.

Gojo chuckled weakly, still recovering from the exertion. His eyes started to glow. "Oh, “Flone… about that. You are so getting punished.”

Flone's eyes widened, her confusion deepening as she removed the VR headset and tilted her head, gazing at Gojo with genuine bewilderment in her eyes. "What? Why?! What did I do?!" She exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and innocence. She then repeated again as if she was absolutely innocent and had done nothing wrong. “What did I do?!” she repeated.

Gojo POV

"Anyone want to skip school?" I casually asked, glancing at the members of the group that gathered around.

Flone and Kaguya Otsutsuki exchanged mischievous grins before answering in unison, "Yep/Yes," expressing their dissatisfaction with the idea of attending school.

Hayasaka, with a slightly perplexed expression, turned to them and asked, "You guys were still skipping?" Her confusion is evident in her voice.

"I mean, why not?" I chimed in, a mischievous glint in my eyes as I glanced towards Ai Hoshino. She looked puzzled, unsure of what I was implying. "We have something much more interesting to do, don't you guys think?" I added a hint of excitement in my voice. Ai's confusion deepened as she tried to decipher my intentions, her curiosity piqued by my enigmatic gaze.

As the entire group were waiting for my action to teleport the group, a collective decision was made between the three of them to skip school once more, deeming it necessary to address some minor issues that were deemed insignificant. However, Kaguya Shinomiya's piercing glare fell upon me, Flone, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, clearly expressing her disapproval of our repeated absences.

"Surely, you guys are not thinking about skipping again—" Kaguya Shinomiya said, her voice laced with a menacing smile and a hint of warning.

I, whoever not wanting any of that, swiftly activated my teleportation ability, teleporting her away to the confines of the school grounds. "Enjoy your time at school, Shinomiya," I smirked, leaving her to deal with the consequences of our absence.

“What are you planning to do, Gojo?” Ai Hoshino asked curiously.

I walked closer to Ai, ignoring Ruby’s protest.  Leaning in towards her ear, a playful smirk forming on my lips as I whispered in a hushed tone. "Well, let's just say we have an opportunity to pay a little visit to your ex-boyfriend, Hikaru," I whispered, my voice laced with a mix of amusement and determination. Ai's eyes widened as she processed my words, her mind racing to comprehend the situation. She began to sweat nervously, realizing the gravity of the situation now.

“So Ai, you know about your ex? We’re going to jump him. And then eliminate him.” I casually said dropping a bombshell as I slowly backed off due to Ruby’s attempt at pulling me away from Ai. Why is she insistent on putting distance between me and her?

Ruby paused, her expression shifting from surprise to intense focus. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to process the information that had just been revealed.

"Wait, hold on a second. You’re going to kill him?" Ai asked, her voice filled with nervousness as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

"Yes, that's exactly what we're going to do today" I replied, as if it was a matter of fact tone in my voice. The rest of the group nodded in agreement.

Hayasaka's voice cut through the tension, her tone composed yet firm. "Hikaru, your ex-boyfriend, was definitely the one behind your death. He manipulated a devoted fan, giving them the instructions to carry out the act. His actions reveal a willingness to go to extreme lengths, and we can't ignore the potential threat he will pose to your children. Our observations and investigation have made it clear. And you shouldn’t be doubting us, this madman” pointing at me, “Is a supernatural being who can probably probe any information he wants once he puts his mind into it."

Flone chimed in unexpectedly, adding her own perspective. "Ahhh! Right. Yeah, we know about your 'Hika Chu' man," she said with a hint of sarcasm.

Ruby, taken aback by the revelation, couldn't help but express her surprise. "Wait, hold on! This is the first time I'm hearing about all this?" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

“Probably Aqua’s doing.” Miyako answered Ruby’s question. As Miyako decided to pull Ruby out of this discussion, deeming it very inappropriate and out of safety concerns to which she was totally against. She gently placed a hand on Ruby's shoulder and spoke in a reassuring tone, "Ruby, this is a discussion about some serious matters, and it's best for you to not be involved.”

However, Ruby's determination flared up, and she protested loudly, "Hah! You cannot be serious! I need to be a part of this. That bastard who supposedly is our father is even more wicked than that handsome piece of shit who bed Mama. LEMME KILL HIM TOO!"

Seeing the intensity of Ruby's reaction, I decided to offer a bribe, pulling out a tempting treat from my armory – a serving of luxurious, delicious-looking ice cream. I held it out enticingly and said, "Will you do it for some ice cream? If you follow Miyako’s instructions?" Ruby's eyes widened, and a longing expression crossed Ai's face too, but I quickly refocused on Ruby's response.

To my surprise, Ruby's protest subsided, and her eyes sparkled at the sight of the ice cream. She settled down and reluctantly complied, swayed by the promise of the delectable treat. Even Ai couldn't help but show a bit of drool at the sight, which left me slightly perplexed.

With Ruby now temporarily distracted by the ice cream, Miyako and I exchanged a knowing glance, silently acknowledging the necessity of keeping Ruby away from this topic and allowing us to handle the situation. Aqua sighed following her as well.

"Wait, we are skipping school today for that? Count me out, though I'm staying here," Kaguya Otsutsuki said with a hint of disinterest, clearly unenthusiastic about the unfolding situation. She flopped on her stomach, burying herself in a pile of novels, her face beaming with excitement. It seemed like she had found her own little world of joy.

Ai's mind was in a whirlwind of emotions as she tried to process the shocking revelation. Her eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze fixated on the ground as if searching for answers. "Hikaru... is evil? I... I can't believe it," she murmured, her voice laced with a mixture of confusion and disappointment. It was clear that she was grappling with the unexpected turn of events, struggling to reconcile the image she had of her ex-boyfriend with the harsh reality that had been unveiled.

The weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air as Ai confronted the harsh reality that Hikaru, the father of her children, had orchestrated her supposed death. She couldn't help but question how everything had spiraled to such a devastating point. Her starry iris eyes flickered between darkness and light showing the complex emotions she was feeling.

The memories of their past relationship flooded her mind, the good and the bad. She remembered the bitterness and sweetness of their teenage love, but also the consequences that came with it. The unexpected pregnancy that brought Aqua and Ruby into her life. Despite the challenges, she absolutely cherished her children.

But with the extensive investigation I and Hayasaka had conducted and the evidence we had gathered, Ai's eyes widened in alarm. Her palms became clammy as she processed the gravity of the situation. "You mean... he would harm them? Ruby and Aqua, my children?!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of fear and protectiveness.

"Well, probably, when they are of age and at the peak of their popularity... so most definitely. On top of that, he isn’t even paying child support. Go figure," I stated. The room fell silent, after hearing that remark.

Hayasaka reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, displaying a series of screenshots, photos, and data that she had meticulously collected.  She had made sure to secure multiple backups, just in case.

Ai's eyes widened as she examined the evidence herself, her gaze fixed on the incriminating message that Hayasaka had uncovered. It was undeniable proof that her ex-boyfriend had intentionally exposed her address to a deranged fan.

To make matters worse, the evidence revealed another shocking revelation. It became clear that Hikaru had not only exposed her address but also disclosed the exact location where she had given birth at the hospital and the mysterious disappearance of the doctor that took care of her. The realization hit her like a punch to the gut.

There was no one else who knew where she stayed at those times except for Miyako, the previous president… and her ex.

As the gravity of the situation sank in, the perspective on Hikaru's motive painted a disturbing picture of the ex-boyfriend's twisted intentions. Ai was a target of his and he actually killed her through other means.

"It all makes sense now," Ai whispered, a mixture of awe and concern in her voice.

"I can't believe he would actually do something like this," Ai muttered, her voice filled with a mix of fury and disbelief. "He not only killed me but plans to kill my children. This changes everything."

I leaned back, a playful smile dancing on his lips as he looked at Ai's gaze. Welp, turning my gaze back at Hayasaka who seems to be in a good mood. Doing all this seems to be good. Yep.

"Relax, Ai. I may have a reputation for being a bit... random, but trust me, we've got this under the bag." I casually said.

Ai took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. She put in her belief that she could trust me and his friends, but the idea of such drastic measures still weighed heavily on her.

"... I guess I have no choice but to trust you." Ai whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

My casual demeanor softened as I looked at Ai. I reached out and gently squeezed her hand, offering support in my own unique way. I knew that Ai found comfort in handholding, as it served as a coping mechanism to help her calm down. Don’t ask how I know, I found that out the hard way last night.

"Your safety is a priority," I said, his voice sincere. "We'll handle it, and once it's all over, you can finally move on without fear. As for the source for all this: Just trust me."

Ai nodded, a glimmer of hope shining through her apprehension. As the conversation came to a close, the room fell into silence.

“So, are we doing this right now? Right now?” I asked with a wide smile of how our day is going to be.
***
Hayasaka casually revealed his location by tracking his phone number with some weird tools. As Hikaru Kamiki had never changed his phone that had been used to contact Ai. He is currently in Shibuya working as a director of some sort. Ah, that makes things easier, as I can quickly teleport to his current location since I have traveled there before.

Flone's excitement was palpable as she eagerly anticipated some real action. "Let's go, let's go!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm.

"Wait, I need to teleport Ai and the others back first," I stated firmly, recognizing that they had no need to witness the confrontation ahead.

"But—" Ai began to protest, hesitant to about us leaving.

"Ai, trust me on this, you do not want to see any of what I’m doing. Your priority should be ensuring the safety of your children," I assured her, my voice gentle yet firm. In an attempt to ease her concerns, I pulled out a large chunk of the luxurious sweet desserts but mainly ice cream and shoved it to her. Her gaze immediately shifted to the delicious treat, and Miyako and Ruby eventually came back into the room.

I gave Aqua a signaling glance, conveying that I would be stealing his kill. He begrudgingly nodded slowly in understanding, acknowledging my decision to handle the situation.

Perfect as everyone seemed to be in place.

"Come on, you should all enjoy some sweets together while I handle this situation," I said, a playful grin on my face.

"Gonna visit you guys later, probably," I added before they disappeared, leaving them to their own device. I swiftly teleported the Hoshino family all back to the strawberry production apartment.

In an instant, the rest of us also vanished, leaving only Kaguya behind.

Hikari Kamiki POV

"Can I help you?" I raised an eyebrow, as I observed the absurdity of these model-like individuals. Ending the call, I efficiently wrapped up the conversation, my mind already consumed with the plot I had in motion.

While I was going about my daily activities, my mind was constantly plotting the fall of a particular aspiring superstar. But my ambitions didn't stop there. I dedicated significant effort to advancing my career within the entertainment industry. Amidst my scheming, a phone call interrupted my thoughts, bringing news of a potential promotion to the role of producer.

This opportunity was a direct result of the success of my recent movie production, which received attention and praise. The caller expressed keen interest in collaborating with me on another project, presenting an enticing prospect for further growth and influence.

When out of nowhere a bunch of weirdos appeared. I mean, seriously, these guys were freaks of nature. And then this white-haired lady with an attitude tells me to get on the ground.

Little did I know that my doom was just around the corner.

Gojo POV

He was a decent-looking man, although nothing compared to me. I mean, how could he ever be compared to Gojo Satoru? Appearance-wise, it's interesting that he has two dark-colored stars, similar to Ai. But honestly, I don't really care about the Hoshigan stuff anymore. Fortunately this guy was alone and he has got to go.

"Hey, you! Get on the ground right now and die or die, you piece of shit!" Flone demanded, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she relished the thrill of the moment. She gave Hikari an ultimatum, playing it up as if it were some twisted game of Simon Says. Compliance or not, his fate was sealed. Anyways I’m going a bit flashy on this.

"Can I help you?" Hikaru Kamiki was perplexed by the sudden appearance of a group of people who seemed to appear out of thin air, raising an eyebrow in question.

With a smirk on my face, I could feel the crackling energy in the air as I prepared to unleash one of my most interesting techniques. I twirled my middle finger onto my index, a small but important gesture before I called out the name of my ability. Even though I didn’t have to, it was for appreciation and fun.

"No. But maybe I can help you. Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void!" I declared, my voice resonating with authority.

“What the fuck does that mean?— Crazy People!—” Hikaru made a face of confusion and he decided to try to make a run for it.

The world around us seemed to shift and warp as my domain enveloped the area. It was a sight to behold, an otherworldly space that defied comprehension.

I made absolutely sure to keep Hayasaka and Flone close and touching me, not wanting the two to accidentally stray into the dangerous effects of my domain. Using the reverse curse technique, I focused on my omniverse energy to recover my curse technique that had been temporarily put on cooldown. With a surge of power, I forcefully lifted the ‘cooldown restriction’, allowing me to utilize my curse techniques, even within the confines of my domain.

Hikaru found himself trapped within the domain, his movements halted and his mind overwhelmed by a sudden surge of information. He stood frozen, unable to escape the grasp of the powerful domain's effects and died right there. Then I unleashed a devastating blast of purple energy known as "Hollow Purple."

Notably the force was immense, obliterating his body and leaving nothing behind. I carefully controlled the hollow purple's destructive power, keeping it within a certain range and size. While also making sure it would dissipate once it reached its certain range within the domain.

The power of my attack surprised Hayasaka, and I could see the admiration in her eyes rather than perplex. Wait, was she used to seeing this type of work, I mean like assassination and killing? And Flone…stop proudly puffing your chest like you did something.

In a flash, we eliminated Hikari Kamiki and left no trace behind. Mission accomplished! We teleported back to the strawberry production area, as the domain expansion barrier dissipated. We could probably chat a little bit more before the allocated time for Ai’s kids to go to school.

Gojo POV

After a brief explanation, I nonchalantly dropped a few expensive items from my armory, enough to make them millionaires a couple times over. In my opinion, a million or two (USD) is more than enough for a family like this to live comfortably. I shuddered at the thought of what would happen if they were to give the hundred million or billion marks. I’m pretty sure me and my group have nothing to do with them anymore after this.

These were no ordinary items. They were treasures of incredible historical significance, directly sourced from Gilgamesh's legendary Gate of Babylon. Each artifact held a story woven into the tapestry of ancient times, their legacy echoing through the ages. From their exquisite design to their impeccable quality, they were regarded as the pinnacle of artistic achievement and hailed as the finest in the world.

As the artifacts were revealed, a hushed silence fell over the room. Miyako, Aqua, and Ruby stood frozen in awe, their eyes wide with astonishment. The sheer presence of these treasures emitted an undeniable aura of power and mystique, capturing their attention completely.

"You don't need to do this..." Ai said, her jaw dropping in disbelief as she looked at the lavish display of wealth before her. She couldn't believe that she was being given access to such an enormous collection of valuable artifacts and items that could attract the attention of the world. In her entire lifetime, she had never experienced such wealth. However, Hayasaka strongly insisted that I provide her with these resources because she might need them.

‘Wait, wasn't Shinomiya already supporting this company?’ I pondered, finding the situation rather peculiar. But then again, who cares? Let’s cook something up. 

"Oh, really?" I retorted, my voice dripping with amusement. "Don't you still need money for rent, expensive ice cream, food, clothes, and, of course, to spoil your kids? After all, the world revolves around money. And with a certified death certificate in your record, getting a job won't be easy, if at all necessary."

Maintaining a casual demeanor, a smug expression spreading across my face. "If you don’t know what to do with these, just throw them at the Shinomiya family. They'll know how to launder it or convert it into cash for you."

'Uwaaa. You're saying something so dangerous,' Aqua thought, his inner voice filled with concern as he regained his senses. Miyako's pupils dilated, with tiny cash symbols seemingly dancing in her eyes. She couldn't help but breathe a bit heavily at the thought of becoming rich. Meanwhile, Ruby's jaw dropped, her eyes fixated on the artifacts, unable to tear her gaze away.

Ai sighed, feeling a mix of resignation and gratitude. She understood the practicality of having financial resources, even though the sudden abundance felt overwhelming. With a sense of boldness, she approached me casually and planted a series of gentle kisses, starting from my left cheek, then moving to my right, before finally landing on my lips. The affectionate display caught everyone in the room off guard, leaving them stunned and wide-eyed. But she didn't stop there; she continued her trail of kisses, leaving a lingering bite mark on my neck, a move that left both me and everyone in the room speechless.

"???" I was utterly perplexed, unable to comprehend the sudden display of affection. It didn't make sense to me, and I knew, based on the conventions of anime, that I would likely be blamed for something I had no control over. Why would Ai Hoshino do that? Shouldn't she be expressing her gratitude to Hayasaka or Shinomiya instead? However, I am doing everything I can to assist Ai's situation because Hayasaka wanted me to. There's also no denying that Ai Hoshino is incredibly attractive, and that was part of the big reason.

"GOJO, WHAT DID YOU DO?" The room erupted in a chorus of accusatory shouts, insults and slurs, each person directing their anger and confusion towards me. Only Ai wore a mischievous smile, her cheeks flushed with a hint of blush as she raised her hand, forming a peace sign over her face with a playful expression. She couldn't resist the urge to lick her lips teasingly, adding to the playful nature of the moment. After seeing her action, I immediately put limitless back on, as I was jumped by her angry daughter Ruby.

A/N:

Apologies for the slow chapter update. I wanted to inform you that we are reaching the conclusion of this world and the Kaguya verse in the next chapter. There will be a time skip, with approximately one week remaining in this world, or perhaps even less (I forgot lol). I hope you have enjoyed this verse so far, and we will revisit it midway through the fourth world.

Just to clarify, Ai Hoshino will remain behind in the current world and will have significant screen time in the upcoming fourth world.

PS. The fourth world is Jujutsu Kaisen.
