Hypnotizing Yuji.

Keito awoke with a gasp, lying down on a cold autopsy table. He wasn't wearing the Jujutsu College uniform anymore but a medical gown reserved for patients.

He felt weak, like most of his strength had been sapped from his body. He opened his eyes to the sight of the gorgeous Shoko Ieiri looking at him. Her face was directly above his, their noses nearly brushing against each other.

"You're awake." Shoko said, not moving from her spot. He noticed from the corner of his eyes that she was leaning on her hands, hands that were on either side of his face. Some strands of her long brown hair were falling on his face.

"Yeah..." He breathed out, stuck in place. All thoughts of his fight with Sukuna or his concern over his teammates' wellbeing flew out of his head. His heartbeat spiked, and his lips dried like he was in a desert.

She made no indication that she was going to move, and both parties just stared at each other in silence. Keito's eyes were glued to her full, tantalizing, inviting lips that seemed so kissable...

In fact, Shoko was also staring at Keito's lips. She wasn't sure why, but she was like transfixed by them. Some inappropriate thoughts were running through her head again, just like the last time she was alone in the infirmary with him.

Unable to resist herself, but not fully giving in either, she moved first and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. The young man was frozen, eyes wide, and soon blushing like a tomato. She cracked a smile at the sight and stopped leaning over him, giving him some space to breathe.

Keito sat up on the autopsy table, trying and failing to hide the very obvious tent in the medical gown he was wearing. In the end, he decided that there was nothing he could about it and stood up.

He realized that they were alone in the infirmary right now. Then, the shock of waking up underneath that bombshell wore off and he noticed that he was still missing his left arm.

The excitement died down. He gritted his teeth but said nothing. Had he been stronger, he wouldn't find himself in this situation. He felt some phantom pain coming from the wound. He felt ashamed, humiliated, weak.

As he stood motionless, looking at the floor, Shoko walked around the autopsy table and came next to him, putting a comforting hand on his back. She saw the receding tent poking through his gown but didn't comment on it, "I'm sorry I couldn't heal your arm."

"It's fine, I know you did your best." He whispered, turning sideways to face her. She thought she was some tears glistening in the corner of his eyes, but he did something else before she could be certain.

He leaned in towards her, at first she thought he was going for a kiss, but he wrapped his right arm around her back and hugged her tightly. She reciprocated the hug, bringing their bodies together.

His erection poked at her navel, but she knew the hug wasn't sexual in nature. Likewise, her own massive breasts were smashed against his chest but he likely wasn't paying attention to it.

In the comfort of her arms, inside the infirmary, Keito broke down crying.

With a kiss on the cheek for strength, Keito left the infirmary a quarter of an hour later feeling much better, physically and mentally. He was still wearing the medical gown.

Walking through the corridors, Keito soon came face to face with Yuji Itadori himself. The pink-haired bundle of energy seemed like he had the world on his shoulders, and his expression only got worse when he saw him.

"Keito! Did they let you leave?!" Yuji asked, staring at his missing left arm. Keito could almost see the thoughts running through his head. Mainly guilt and regret, feeling responsible for everything that transpired.

It took quite a bit of ingenuity and creativity, along with some luck, but Keito managed to change the condition for opening his domain, namely the handsign required. Before, he had to clap his hands together but now, he just had to cross his index and middle fingers.

"Domain Expansion."

Without Yuji being able to react, he found himself standing on an infinite stretch of water. Around him, many forty-meters tall waves were crashing against each other, sending a countless number of droplets of water.

Hiding in a wave, Keito observed this new domain while his sure-hit targeted Yuji. It wasn't done on purpose, but he rather liked this one. Instead of mirrors, the laser beams were being reflected by the water droplets.

Soon, Yuji Itadori fell into a trance and the two students found themselves back in reality. Yuji was blankly staring ahead, and Keito could get his pay-back without an issue.

He wouldn't do that, since his beef was with Sukuna and not with Yuji. The boy had **** but to let Sukuna out to save him and Megumi from the really strong finger bearer. The one that Megumi said he'd take out, Keito annoyedly thought. Megumi should have let him handle it.

"Yuji, do you hear me?" He had to be quick, they were still standing in the middle of the hallway after all.

"Yes."

"You won't let Sukuna out again in the future, no matter what happens. Understood?"

"Yes."

"You will stop feeling guilty for what happened and instead blame Sukuna for everything."

"Yes."

"You won't notice anything weird I do with other people and you will dismiss it subconsciously. Understood?"

"Yes."

It was pretty amazing that even now Yuji showed no signs of resisting or waking up. He was really naive and trusting, which worked in Keito's favor this time.

He was out of suggestion to give him. Right as he was about to wake him up, he was struck by an idea. Since Sukuna and Yuji shared the same body, and thus the same brain, would his suggestions work on Sukuna if he managed to take over?

Well, just in case, he'll add some more, "You're incapable of using **** against anything but Cursed Spirits, unless you're acting in self-defense or sparring. Understood?"

"Yes."

"If I tell you to do something, you'll do it and think it was your own idea. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Whenever I say 'Nap time' you will fall back in this state. Understood?"

"Yes."

With nothing else to add, Keito woke him up. He seemed much more happy and livelier than before, and he went away after a short discussion to make sure Keito was alright.
