Between Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am The One Squished Between Softies Chapter 10: Utahime Iori

(Kiryu’s POV)

"Godamned Zenin." I said to the phone, "Can you believe that shit?"

"For them to offer Maki like that..." I heard i i’s voice, "It is unbelievable."

I leaned back on the chair, "They want gumi and The Ten Shadows." I said, "They seriously think I’m that stupid to hand him over?"

"gumi Fushiguro has yet to master the Ten Shadows. That’s what they’re hoping for." i i said, "If they can get him before he does that, it’ll be easier for them to use it to their advantage and swoon him to their goals."

I sighed, "I won’t let them have him." I said, "And as for Maki, I cannot accept a marriage with a little girl, I just won’t do it."

"Mmm....why marry a girl when you have a woman like ?" i i said

"You know...." I said, "I did propose to you once and you refused."

"Fufu~" She said, "Oh, my beloved Kiryu~ It is very complicated, our relationship. I do not want to break Utahi and Shoko’s hearts if all of a sudden, you took as your wife."

"I was more than willing to have you all as my wives." I said, "But noooooo, traditions, customs, heresy! Fuck these geezers in the Gojo Clan...."

"Speaking of Utahi." She said, "She sent a ssage; she’s heading to you to speak?"

"Yea." I said, "I want to know what her problem is."

"You already know what it is." She said, "Out of all of us, You always see her as the last option."

"That’s not true, i i!" I exclaid, "I.....I care for her!!"

"You care?" She said, "Or do you love her? That word, you’ve said it to Shoko and I while you were drunk, but not to Utahi. Not even once."

"I gotta go." I said, "I’ll see you next week. Wear sothing sexy."

"I will~ Ciao~" She hung up

I leaned back and tossed the phone on the table next to as I looked up at the ceiling.

"What the fuck am I doing wrong?" I said, "Why am I like this?"

*************************************************

"Young Master." My Servant said, "Utahi Iori is here to see you."

I nodded as I sat in front of a table with cups of fresh coffee set on it, "Let her in." I said, "And make sure nobody is eavesdropping. You know what the punishnt is."

She nodded, "Of course." She said closing her eyes, "I’ll make sure of it."

She closed the sliding door and a few monts later, it opened again and Utahi walked in.

"H-Hello." She said while blushing slightly

I smiled, "Hey." I said softly, "Take a seat, Uta. I prepared coffee for you."

I gestured to the cups as she slowly walked over to the table and sat down.

"O-Okay..." She said as she looked at the cup, "I’ll have so..."

I nodded, "Please do.." I said

She grabbed the cup and took a sip, "It’s good.." She said as she put it back down, "Uhm.....Kiryu, can we make this quick? I don’t know if it’s appropriate to be doing this."

I tilted my head, "Doing what?"

"You know." She said, "This."

"Why isn’t it appropriate?" I asked

"You already know what the whole situation with the Disaster Curses is." She said, "There’s tensions rising and everything! I, a Teacher of Jujutsu High, can’t waste my ti with-"

"Shhh." I said putting my finger on her lips, "Forget that. We’re here to talk, Uta. If you think I called you here just to fuck you, you’re wrong. I respect you, Uta. I would never treat you like a common whore, my dear."

She blushed slightly, "O-Oh..." She said softly

"What? You thought I told you all that just so I can bend you over this table and rail you?" I said, "And you still ca? Tsk, Tsk, Uta...you naughty girl. That’s why I love you."

She widened her eyes, "E-Eh?" She said, "What did you say?"

I patted her cheek, "You heard , babe." I said

"Y-You don’t an it...." She said softly

I leaned back, "Co here." I said patting my lap, "Sit."

"N-No." She said

"Uta." I said firmly, "Co."

After a few monts of silence, she slowly crawled around the table and sat on my lap. I gently held her by her waist as she had her eyes closed.

I placed my free hand on her thighs and gently caressed it through her skirt, "Hm...." I said, "Seems to you feel like I don’t appreciate you enough."

"That is correct." She said while blushing

I leaned into her hair, "Your hair slls nice." I said, "This beautiful lush black hair. You know it drives crazy, right?"

"I will not fall for your flirting." She said firmly

"You’re already on my lap, girl." I smiled, "Like it or not, You’ve fallen."

"I thought we were gonna talk....." She said

"We are talking." I said while patting her cheek, "Look at ."

She opened her eyes and looked at , there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"This scar..." I said running my finger across it, "I hate how your beautiful face was scarred like this..."

"Hmph..." She said moving my hand out of the way

"But it’s still beautiful, Uta." I said patting her cheek, "Look at , Uta. Look at in the eyes when I say this..."

"Say what?" She said looking at

"You’re mine." I said seriously as I placed my hand on her chin, "Whether you like it or not. You. Are. Mine. Every breath you take, every step you take, your re existence...It’s mine. But not because I own you.....No....."

I leaned her face in and gently kissed her lips, I felt her body lting to the touch of my lips.

Before she could kiss back, I pulled back and smiled at her.

"I find you to be very important to ." I said as I caressed her neck, "My Playboy deanor aside, You an a lot to . I don’t want you for your body, for sex, that is just the byproduct of the thing we have....Utahi, I....You already know.....deep down you knew. I never had to say it. You’ve said it yourself, We have a History. All Five of us....."

"I Love You."
