As a mediator.

There was a tension so thick that one could cut it with a knife. Keito made a point to sit on the opposite side of the room than Maki, crossing his arms. He was glad to see she had cleaned her face of cum before coming here. Nobara was left standing in the middle of the room, unsure of who she should join first. Still, in the end she came to Keito's side since Maki had been the one to seek him out in the first place.

Shoko came to Maki's side, and put a hand near her face. Her calm voice was soothing to the ear when she asked, "Should I pretend that I don't know you two were fighting this late?"

"I'd like that, yes." Keito answered, watching in fascination as Shoko's hand glowed white. She put it against Maki's face, and she let it rest here as she spoke, "I'd like that as well, but I don't think it's a good idea."

After a few minutes of silence, Shoko pulled back her hand and he saw how Maki's face had completely healed. Her eyes weren't swollen anymore, her nose was back to how it used to be and the small cuts she had on her face disappeared.

Reverse Cursed Technique. Something incredibly rare, the ability to heal oneself using Cursed Energy. Since Cursed Energy is negative in nature, multiplying it by itself makes positive energy that can be used to heal. Even more incredible was the ability to output it to heal others. Keito really wanted to have it, but he had no idea how to do it.

"Why did you hurt each other that much?" Shoko asked them both, walking towards Keito to heal him. Facing him, Keito admired the way her blue turtleneck stretched to fit her massive breasts. They were the biggest he had ever seen, and his hands twitched as he thought of groping them.

While her upper body was damn impressive, her lower body was also not to be underestimated. She had long and graceful legs, that seemed to be quite thick even through her jeans. Though, Maki still had the best lower body around the school.

"We just had a spar." Maki answered, back on her feet. She hadn't left the room yet. "A spar." Shoko repeated, holding her hand in front of Keito's face. Her fingers brushed his nose, and he felt a spike of pain and arousal at the touch. They were very soft.

"Do all your spars end with nasal and orbital fractures, swelling, epistaxis, lacerations and contusions?" She asked, still focusing her energy on Keito's nose. It felt warm. He kept silent to let her focus, so Maki answered, "No... Tonight was an exception. We went a little too far."

Keito scoffed. As if she really believed what she said. Shoko hummed as she removed her hand, and Keito found that he was completely healed. Shoko looked at him, then at Maki and Nobara, saw how close Nobara was standing to Keito, and smiled, "I think I know why."

Woah, the way she smiled... Keito's heart skipped a beat at the sight. His cheeks were heating up. She was, simply put, gorgeous. And he had ranked her third in the face category?! She easily had the best!

Maki sputtered, waving her hands around in a frenzy, "I-Wha-NO! It's not like that!" Her cheeks were dusted pink, but unlike Nobara this blush was caused by anger and embarrasment, rather than arousal.

Nobara herself was slighty pink, but she kept quiet. Unlike Maki, she couldn't really deny. Keito cut in, blushing as well from earlier, and stood up, "I don't know, with the way you were standing outside of the room earlier and stalking us."

"Shut up!" Maki shouted, "I heard what you were doing to Nobara, you bastard! There's no way she'd do those things with someone like you!" Okay, he had confirmation that she knew they were doing naughty things.

"Hey! Don't speak to him like that Maki-senpai!" Nobara spoke up, stepping forward and raising her voice. She frowned, angered at the way Maki was speaking about Keito. The latter smiled, happy that she had his back.

Still, he couldn't let her do all the work. Since everyone was yelling, he spoke loudly as well, "Don't be mad at me if you can't get someone to like you, you termagant hysteric! Sounds like-"

He was cut off when Shoko put her hand over his mouth, "I think that's enough." She didn't sound angry nor annoyed, not even a little bit. Seemed like nothing fazed that woman. Her hand felt soft on his lips, and he almost gave it a lick before she pulled it back.

She crossed her arms under her chest, "Kids... You remind me of my college days." She turned towards Maki, "From what I understand, you were spying on them when they were going at it, right? Can you tell us why?"

Keito wasn't expecting her to act as a mediator of sort, but maybe it'd be interesting. "I told you, I was worried about her. I feared that this jerk was taking advantage of her or blackmailing her." Maki hissed, glaring daggers at him.

"That didn't happen." Nobara said, "What we did... It was completely consensual. Thank you for your concern, but it was unnecessary. And what you did afterwards was wrong, seeking him out for a spar and beating him up. Though I can see he dished as good as he got."

"You should listen to her." Shoko advised, smiling. She just thought of a time she had to help Gojo and Utahime mend their relationship after he had pushed the teasing too far.

"I don't know you three so well," Shoko began, "But I think you've had a long night. I'll turn a blind eye tonight, since it's all a big misunderstanding. Try to keep your love triangle business down in the future okay?"

Maki grumbled something along the lines of 'It's not like that.' but nodded. Since the discution was pretty much over, she quickly left the room without looking at either Keito or Nobara.

That left Shoko and the duo inside of the infirmary. The nurse went to a drawer and rummaged through it for some time, until she found what she was looking for.

She handed Keito a pack of condoms, "Protection's important." If Nobara's blush had calmed down, now it was back with a vengeance. Keito took it, letting his fingers brush against hers, and put it in his pockets.

"It was a pleasure." He said, smiling from ear to ear. He really meant it, he was glad to see her. It only made it more urgent to get his hands on her.

"Likewise, I guess." Shoko replied, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. She went back to her desk, sitting down on her leather chair. "Good night."

"Good night." Both Nobara and Keito said, as they left the infirmary.
