IV.
When Gojo went back home he realized that all of his wife’s possessions were gone. His heart contracted painfully in his chest knowing that not a single trace of hers was left behind to keep him company. As if she had never been really there and all she had been was a beautiful dream. Y/N had taken everything that belonged to her: all of her clothes, personal belongings, beauty products, etc. Her presence had been wiped clean from his house.
Even their pictures together! He almost lost his shit again when he went to try and find their wedding album on the shelf where it usually remained but didn’t find it there. That’s when he realized all the small pictures of them both that were strategically placed around their home were also gone. He frantically looked for them to the point where he almost tore the place apart.

Defeated and fearful he went to the garage, the last place left to search. He hadn’t taken out the trash today, that’s where their recycling and trash bins were located, when he opened the tall trash bin he found what he had been desperately looking for. They were all there. His heart stopped beating for a full painful minute.

For the first time in his life, he fell to his knees and wept like a child while holding onto the picture of their wedding where Y/N smiled looking into Satoru’s eyes. While holding hands in front of the beach.

“I’m sorry…” he whispered looking at her smiling face on the picture. “I’m sorry…” That’s when the mighty, honored, head of the Gojo clan broke down for the first time in his life. For the first time ever… he had lost.

How long has it been since he last saw her? Kissed her? Made love to her? His gifted mind immediately provided the answer: 6 months, 7 days, 13 hours, and counting.

Satoru sat in the darkness of his house, looking at the calm and quiet woods surrounding his residence. Y/N didn’t want to live in the city when they got married, she enjoyed the peace, quiet, and privacy… then again so did he. But now it all seemed to help drown him further down his abyss of misery. The silence was deafening. The cold seeping through his clothes and wrapping around his heart made him flinch. Without her… this place resembled an empty, dark, and rotten cursed domain… maybe it was; one of his own making.

The Gojo clan did not lack in resources and money to make things happen and yet the 5 different detectives he had working for him couldn’t find his lovely wife. Fucking band of incompetent fuckers. She was good, completely untraceable! Of course, he could see Suguru’s doing on this as well. He was the one that helped her disappear, there was no one better than him for that kind of work.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAtPhdIaWL3Y
So far he knew she left Tokyo on a flight with her actual name towards Russia, she landed a day later in Saint Petersburg and paid in cash for a hotel where she stayed two days, after that all trace of Y/N Gojo was lost for a month.

Y/N L/N appeared then in London. He hated that she was using her maiden name as if she rejected his claim on her as if she wanted to tell him without words that she didn’t belong to him any longer. And yet, she still was very much Y/N Gojo since he fucking burned those blasted divorce forms the very night she left. No, his wife was not going to divorce him now or ever! He wouldn’t allow it.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAQzZNX9E3Tb
He always loved and cared for her constantly but now she had become his obsession. The elders kept nagging him about missions getting backed up to which he kindly recommended they go fuck themselves for a while. But finally, his conscience nagged the shit out of him and ended up taking care of it. It was after all his life’s mission, the future generations counted on him, he couldn’t slack on it if he wanted to prove to Y/N he was a reformed man, he couldn’t be selfish! He had to prove his worth to his wife.

After London, she completely disappeared. He actually flew there and went to look for her in the house she rented but by the time he got there she was long gone. He wasn’t stupid, he knew Suguru kept track of his movements as well, surely to let Y/N know with enough time to elude him.

Satoru couldn’t believe how in less than a year his life had gone to shit. He had no one to blame other than himself, he was the artifice of his own destruction.

Fucking Sookie… he thought back to his past lover and the shit show her pregnancy had been. After Y/N left, Sookie started nagging him about signing the divorce papers so they could be together but at this point, Satoru made it clear to her that was never going to happen. He ended all physical intimacy with her immediately and made it clear he was going to take responsibility for the baby but he was not going to be with her as a lover ever again.

It had taken Satoru the longest time to come to terms with the fact he had cheated on his wife out of his egotistical need to stroke his own ego. It had been the most stupid, selfish thing he could have done. When Sookie showed up in Tokyo he found her extremely attractive, he saw her every day at the school, and eventually, her attempts to seduce him were successful. It was Satoru’s immature need for constant self idolization that drove him to have an affair. He wanted to somehow put to the test his love for Y/N as if it was an experiment. He indeed loved his wife, much more than he could have ever imagined, more than he could ever love anyone else, but Sookie was a nice distraction and a boost to his need for adoration.
Fucking idiot….
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFp15d7jvxN
He had been a fucking flaming idiot. Not long after their affair started Sookie wanted more and more from him. Not only material things such as clothes, money, trips… to the point where if he didn’t give in to her every whim she would threaten him with telling his wife about them and the baby! That’s when he snapped out of it and realized he had fucked up. It was the same night his wife left.
If only he had realized about it sooner.

Gojo Satoru was a certified asshole but he wasn’t that much of an asshole that he wouldn’t take care of his own child, despite the fact that the mother was the wrong woman. He went to every doctor’s appointment, provided for both mother and unborn child until the day the baby was born.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0rLlMjO5n
The whole time he couldn’t help but imagine what would his wife look like if she had been the one pregnant. The image he conjured in his mind of his beautiful Y/N round and glorious with her growing bump. Evidence that she belonged to him and no one else. Shaking his head he often found himself daydreaming about her. Wondering where she was and what she was doing. He missed her… terribly.

The day the baby was born had been nothing other than pure karma cashing out on him.

Sookie was a 5’2 blonde girl with amber eyes… but low and behold his surprise when the child that was born was a little dark-haired, green-eyed baby boy with not a single trace of cursed energy nor any of his features. He saw the dread and fear in Sookie’s eyes “S… Satoru… I can explain” she said trembling while holding the baby in her arms.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAOd5txPhF6C
Satoru… had never been happier.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAkJHfHG2U6V
It was his second chance to fix everything with his wife.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAV5tgim0IBa
He approached the blonde woman and said “I don’t care what you have to say… this child is clearly not mine, I am not mad at all. You can keep the apartment and everything else I’ve given you for your son, but I am not taking responsibility for a kid that is not mine. You would do well in finding the actual father and figuring your shit out” after that he walked out of the hospital feeling an incredible weight being lifted from his shoulders. He wasn’t even mad she had been cheating on him, nor that she lied to him for so long. He deserved that! But now he was 100% free to devote himself to his wife and make it up to her. Of course… once he was able to find her.

New York, NY. The USA.

It had taken her so much work… blood, tears, and sweat were the most fitting description for what her life had been the past few months.

After leaving Japan for good she started moving around like Suguru instructed, never staying too long. Don’t make too many friends, don’t use credit cards! Only cash! Change your appearance often, be invisible! She had turned into a chameleon.
11Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQfYiWlnX
Suguru and her spoke very often, and impressively despite the physical distance that separated them, she had never felt closer to him. Suguru Geto was a man of depth and kindness. He was wise beyond his years and the only person she trusted.

With nothing else to focus on other than herself, she decided to distract herself from her pity party and actually do something about it. Instead of crying, hiding, and mopping around, she chose to invest herself body and soul into her career which is why she had been in Russia and London. And now in New York.
In Ballet you can be as strong as a linebacker with the endurance of a marathon runner and the heart of a lion. But there is one thing you have that no one else can touch nor have. That’s your flexibility…. Your ability to adapt, to change, and twist your body at your heart’s desire. Your god-given gift of ligaments and tendons… but whatever you have is not enough, is never enough when you want to be the best. You are at war with yourself, battling your body’s need for rest and the desire to curl back up. You break yourself trying to bend yourself.

There are days when your body retaliates and tightens… like a grudge, you go backward sometimes… but you learn. You find the perfect torture to get the results without destroying the tool that got you this far.

Very much like life itself… it was all about thriving, even when you are in pain. And that is exactly what she did.
