Author's Note: Hello everyone! I am excited to be back on Tumblr. I have nothing exciting going on in my life currently so how about I start posting on here again. English is not my first language but I try despite the challenges and sometimes lack of preferred vocabulary. I have been dying to read fics or works set specifically in the JJK universe, so I usually say if there is none/ you have had not enough, then do it yourself so here I am. This will be a long ass ride and I will most probably publish this on AO3 simultaneously, please bear with me as I have been victim to the AO3 and Tumblr curse twice. (hehe). Also, as I have mentioned in the description, proper tag updates and content warning will be coming up, considering some of my previous works, I do not write about sunshine and flowers so make sure you check the cw on each chapter or fic parts I'll publish. This will also be a free form of JJK universe, and we will be deviating a little bit from the usual laws of cursed energy. anyways, kisses and hugs I'll see you guys soon. - Victoria 🐻❄️ྀིྀི

Pairing: Choso x Sorcerer!Reader ( brief Noritoshi Kamo x Reader)
Story Setting: Jujutsu Kaisen
Content Warning: Hurt no/Comfort, Choso has a brain of a newly spawned human, communication issues, themes of blood, JJK universe level g0re, smut, usual JJK universe type violence+, mature themes including smoking, cursing, familial trauma, substance abuse, to be added as the story progresses, toxic behavior, themes of past trauma including bullying and sexual assault. (MDNI) SMUT! -> p in v, slight fingering if you squint, no protection ( wrap it up, kiddoes), extensive mention of bodily fluids including blood(duh), murder, innocent peeps basically being caught up in Choso's shenannigans.
Synopsis: You have a spontaneous meeting with your boyfriend, Noritoshi Kamo, in your room after the Saitama mission. You both try to get rid of the pent-up longing and frustration, the only way you both know how. While you are getting ready to find out if you have a traitor in your Kyoto School schoolmates, you come across something or somebody who tries to take out his revenge on the wrong person.
Author's Note: It's 2 AM, and my brain is mush, but I had to write this out lowkey and post it, cause if I don't push myself, I'll get lazy. ALSO, the reader and Noritoshi are together in this fic for now ( but not for long, lmao, you wish, bebs.) I edited this chapter in Word, Google Docs, and then with a slight help of Grammarly, but I gave up on it because it kept suggesting AI "solutions" (say no to AI), so I gave it up. If you find any mistakes or typos, please let me know. I reread this a thousand times and rewrote it ten times more. ( I know my grammar suck fml). Anyway enjoy! - Victoria <3
➽─────────────────────────────❥
By the time Nitta had arrived at the bridge again to drive the four of you back to Tokyo, Megumi had woken up, with Yuji and Nobara catching up with the two of you. Yuji's uniform was completely ripped apart, and some parts of his skin were peeking through the shredded material. Nobara's uniform wasn't in good condition either: her whole sleeve was missing, and her tights were all bloodied.
"Not my blood," she said to calm you down.
"Megumi here attempted his first-ever domain expansion. You guys had to see it." You chuckled to yourself as Megumi, barely able to sit up, propped himself up on the river's bank. His face was marked by complete exhaustion; he had no energy left and seemed lost in thought. You turned to joke with Yuji, but Nitta's call interrupted you. She appeared, waving at the four of you as her car pulled up to the bridge. You unbuttoned your shriveled uniform jacket and faced Yuji to show him the tattoo on your back, making Megumi stare, his mouth slightly agape at your ink.
"Since when-"
"We,or more so Megumi,managed to get you this finger, kid. I would say you should keep this. Gojo would need to see it. Don't eat it, though. I am not able to face off the King of Curses in my state." You smiled as you handed Yuji the charred, red finger. Yuji took it and promised he wouldn't consume it. But as he assured you, a small mouth suddenly appeared on his palm and consumed the finger that you had just given him.
Shit...
You looked at Yuji, who had shuddered once hard, ducked in on himself, clutching his stomach and freaking out Megumi, whose one eye had slightly closed from the dried blood that irritated it.
"Yuji, I swear." You gritted your teeth, readying your stance to counterattack whatever Sukuna was about to dish out for you, but the boy had only straightened up, sticking out his tongue and grimacing about how disgusting the finger tasted.
"Scared the shit out of us for no reason." Nobara tsked and grabbed Megumi by the waist to help him climb up the bridge to meet Nitta, who was anxiously waiting with the phone clutched in her hand, dialing Shoko to get ready to treat some bloodied teenagers.
"Guess who is driving?" You grinned at Nitta, who shook her head no, knowing you did not know the way back to Tokyo and had never had a student suggest driving back. Before she could even start protesting by hiding the key, you dangled it in front of her.
"Huh, come on now, Yaga will kill me!"
"It won't be the first time I'll get an assistant in trouble. Don't worry, I'll patch ya right up!" You smiled as you told the others to let Megumi sit in the front passenger seat. You sat excitedly by the wheel, inserting the keys and turning down the windows for everyone: the fresh summer air filled the already woody and chill Saitama prefecture. You would not miss the healthy air for no AC recycled gas. You started up the car, about to turn on the signal that you would join the relatively empty bridge and its traffic, when you felt an overwhelming, cursed energy piercing itself right into your gut and almost making you retch.
You looked around the car to notice the kids had propped themselves on Nitta's shoulder, and Megumi was fast asleep. No one had noticed anything, besides you. You had to get out of there fast before something would befall you. You quickly turned the car into drive and stepped on the gas pedal, just enough not to alarm the other passengers.
By the time Tokyo Jujutsu High came on the horizon, even Nitta had fallen asleep right next to Megumi and Yuji. When you stopped the car, as if on cue, the trio woke up in the back and quickly jumped out right in front of Shoko's building.
You turned the ignition off, looking around to see if any of the school staff had seen you drive or if you had somehow woken anyone in the student dormitories. After making sure all was well, you glanced at Megumi, still asleep after the mission, snoring softly, his head uncomfortably hanging low.
You propped up his chin. The contact with his skin sent a certain mushy sensation down your spine, but you ignored it, trying to wake him up to no avail. While Nitta was trying to get the other two to the infirmary, you slowly closed the door to the car, jogged over to his side, and pulled him out of the passenger seat, holding him by his waist.
"I got that!" A familiar white-haired teacher had appeared in front of you all of a sudden, no sound, no cursed energy, or anything that would have let you know he had been observing you for the past several seconds, struggling to get Megumi out of the car.
"Gojo Sensei, when did you get here? I thought you would have been asleep?" You exclaimed, looking at him pick up Megumi with almost no effort as he strode away towards the infirmary, giving you that all-too-sweet smile of his.
"The wicked get no rest, or whatever the saying is. Anything interesting to report?" As if knowing the answer to his question already, you nodded. Shoko was already patching up Yuji's scratches, while Nobara had already disappeared towards her dorms, exhausted.
"He actually managed to do it. I am not sure what you told him, but it must have given him that push." You smirked, knowingly glancing at Shoko, who draped a thin blanket over Megumi's body and let the boy get comfortable in the infirmary bed.
"I knew it wasn't a bad idea to have you tag along. I also particularly enjoy having you around in my infirmary from time to time." Shoko smirked as she took new pictures of your ink. She had been jealous of your tattoo art ever since you manifested more of your cursed technique throughout the years. She had been dying to get some motifs on her own skin, and seeing you had almost made her go into overdrive.
"That came out weirder than intended." Gojo chuckled, earning a smack from Shoko.
"While all that is good, I think some things are due for a discussion with you, Gojo Sensei. The curses we encountered today are not registered. At least, the worst fear of the faculty came true. Some of the cursed spirits smelt of rotting blood."
"Cursed wombs. Credit that to Noritoshi Kamo." Shoko hummed and looked at Gojo with a knowing look. Ever since the assault on Jujutsu High during the exchange program, some of the inventory in the high school had gone missing, specifically the nine cursed womb vials that the school kept for safekeeping.
"I don't understand why not just destroy them in the form we already had them in. Now we have to deal with their spawned forms and kill people who were sacrificed as bodies at that. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth." You sat atop the surgical bed, stealing a single cigarette from Shoko's Sobranie pack and letting her light it up for you.
"These cursed wombs are special-grade cursed spirits; killing them in the form we had them in is impossible. It's like hitting a rock with a pillow, hoping it will crack. With the realization of their flesh and body, it is easier to damage them and attack them, exorcising them in a sense." Gojo pulled his black blindfold, letting the fabric smack him back softly as he let go. A habit he picked up when thinking of a subject too deeply.
"There is another thing I did not mention to Nitta when we were leaving Saitama this evening. I felt a presence of someone else in the forest, almost looking at me knowingly. Perhaps there were two, one was very strong, the other similar to the other two Nobara and Yuji had exorcised. I wanted to know if the others had felt the same dread, this doom-like feeling I felt, but no one had even batted an eye. Not even Fushiguro. I did not want it on the record since it might complicate things, but I wanted to bring it up to you. Maybe you would be able to know what it is." You puffed out the smoke from your lungs, letting the sweet chocolate flavor of the cigarette deposit on your tongue.
"I will be sure to look into it. For now, let me know if you come across them again in your next mission. A description would be ideal." Gojo nodded, but you didn't miss the suspicious glance from Shoko, like a small glint of knowledge or a conversation you were not a part of.
"Ever since Yuji ate that finger back in June, things keep popping up unexplainably." You muttered as you finally sat up from the desk, smashing the cigarette in Shoko's ashtray and taking your dirty jacket to drape it over your shoulders. You gave Shoko a high five and promised her you would come back to give her a small tattoo the next time you both had time.
"I am sure they are related to the fingers, awakened curses, and domains connected to them. What amazes me is how they knew exactly where the cursed wombs were. I won't be amazed if we even have an informant in our leagues." Gojo followed you out as the clock struck midnight. You made your way over to your dorms, Gojo following in your steps to make sure you got to your room safely.
"Why are you telling me this, if you know the informant could be anyone?" You were mostly unaware of the recent assaults and the interactions Gojo and the students at Tokyo High had had with a certain organized cursed spirit group, having not even attended the exchange event because you were too busy with Hakari and Kirara to take part in the fight that obliterated the south ward of the campus.
"'Cause I know it couldn't be you. But I have my suspicions about some in Kyoto. That's why I need you to give your lovely boyfriend Noritoshi a visit this week, if you aren't assigned to any missions anymore. That is, of course, if you don't plan on gambling with the other suspended third-years in Roppongi." Gojo caught you between a rock and a hard place, grinning from ear to ear, shooting finger-guns at you.
"Now, how the hell do you know those things?" You stopped in your tracks by the dorm entrance, placing your hands on your waist angrily and looking at your beaming teacher, who had been skipping like a little child in front of you, having finally caught you in your little act. It was true that you gambled together with the other third-years: you loved visiting the couple in their little club in the city, going out to clubs and various bars with fake IDs to get shitfaced and then end up on the Shibuya Meltdown IG account. Gojo had even fished out his phone to show you he had been following the account for so long. He was sure he had seen the three of you passed out somewhere in Shinjuku. I'll find you, Shibuya Meltdown admin, and I will kill you!
"I did worse things during my years here, don't worry. I won't suspend you. Neither for dating another student." Gojo grimaced and then patted you on your exposed shoulder. "That is, I always thought you two were related somehow."
"Kamo clan and my clan go back in history; we may or may not have a common ancestor, but we haven't traced any relations in our lineage for fifteen generations now. These accusations must stop!" You facepalmed, thinking about how you and Noritoshi had only been going out for some time and were already getting exposed by the six eyes. "I don't know if those six eyes of yours are a curse or a blessing in this fucked-up world sometimes, Gojo Sensei."
"I came to consider it as both." He smiled as he waved you goodbye to stride along to his own quarters, leaving you alone in your dorm, listening to the crickets sing their evening song by the little stream that ran by your room window.
"You can come out now." You muttered as you finally discarded your dirty jacket in the laundry basket and started to undress.
"I wonder how he knows those things." You chuckled as you embraced Noritoshi, who was hiding in the shadows of your dorm room during your entire conversation with Satoru. You gave him a small peck on his lips before he dipped his head back again and gave you a proper kiss. His hands came to grope you on the ass, making you gasp and giving him a chance to stick his tongue inside your mouth. Between missions, his studies, and clan politics, he hadn't had a chance to properly speak with you or meet you for some weeks now. Only through phone calls and messages did he ever tell you how much he had missed you.
With his hands now finally getting to touch your inked skin, he could not get enough of your smell, of the feeling of your hair and your body under his touch. He could not get enough of your lips and how you barely kept up with the assault his tongue was dishing out on your own, and then down to your neck and skin. He was hot to the touch, covered in a small sheen of sweat. You knew this was something he did deliberately. As a blood manipulation curse user, you knew he could regulate the temperature in his own body. You gasped at how fast his hands were at undoing your uniform pants, trying to get them off of you as soon as possible, and feel the wetness that pooled between your legs. It was like a feverish dream, getting to touch his hot skin, his strong hands hoisting you up in them, and then plopping you down on your bed.
"Miss me that much?" You smirked as his lips trailed wet, open kisses down to your jaw, suckling on the spot right behind your ears, making you whine out from the frustration that had built over time.
"I could not wait to finish up with my work here and get to Tokyo as soon as possible. I missed you too much." He barely whispered, more like moaned, when his knee touched your soaked panties. Your back arched, his hands wrapping around your exposed back, the sanity slowly slipping from your consciousness as you tugged at his traditional robes, trying to get them untied and finally loosened.
"Shh, someone might hear us!" He lulled as you moaned out his name when his fingers found themselves groping your breasts. His hand snaked up your shirt, finding goosebumps already forming underneath his fingertips as they found your hardened nipple. His nails slightly grazed the supple skin on your nipples, twirling them around his fingers before he got annoyed with the shirt tugging on his forearm.
"The whole dormitory is empty." You moaned out as your fingers found his hair again, his robes finally loosening and revealing his chiseled abs, skin glistening under the small lamp lights shining from the outside of the room. You needed to be on top of him, desperately needed to ride him and your frustration out. Tears welled up around the corners of your eyes, feeling the ache get too much.
"Kamo, f-fuck!" Your frustration had reached its maximum as you briskly stood up from your position, letting Noritoshi hit his back on your mattress. You took off the shirt that constricted your movements, discarding it somewhere on the floor along with your and Noritoshi's pants.
"I need you inside me right now, or I will die." You cried out as you pulled down his briefs. His cock, red and leaking precum, sprang up towards his stomach. Your hands quickly found him in the dark, pushing your panties to the side as you aligned his tip to your entrance.
"W-wait, slow down!" He choked out as his hands gripped your hips, definitely leaving small blue marks by the morning, as his irritation to keep up with you reached its peak.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" You gritted your teeth as the wetness dripped down on his cock. His own hips bucked up to get some sort of friction around him and feel you wrapped around his veiny dick. You slowly descended on him. His mouth hung agape, rolling his eyes. He let out a sigh, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he tried to gain composure and not come in seconds.
Your hips started to roll slowly, your hands finding his stomach to balance yourself. His eyes finally opened up wide to find you absolutely drenched in sweat, still dirty from your little mission earlier in the day. The smell of your cunt infiltrated his nose and the air around him, making him salivate even more. His dick twitched in response to your tits slowly bouncing up and down as you tried to get his tip to hit your cervix. Your mouth was agape, eyes closed shut, trying to concentrate on your pleasure, using him.
The dynamic between you had always been about your pleasure; he had always been about satisfying you before he came himself. Seeing you use him so effectively, so lost in your own head, short-circuiting as your hands shuddered from the mere strength it took to roll your hips and not fall on him was something out of a fantasy for Noritoshi. He was so smitten with the image of you riding him so well, your cunt engulfing him, sucking him in, and milking him dry of everything he had. While absolutely out of the astral, you couldn't ignore that his cursed technique was activated once or twice during the fucking. Noritoshi actively used his blood manipulation to pull his blood inside his dick to prevent himself from coming too fast, in a sense, overstimulating himself to make sure you got off first.
"Fuck, I hate you so much when you do that!" You pointed it out to him. A desperate cry left your throat. Your hands had been too tired, your back was hurting, and your hips were tired from their assault on his member. Noticing how tired and wasted you were, his hands reached towards you, his strong forearms pushing you down on him and letting him hug you as his hips moved automatically, bucking up inside you, making you whimper in his neck.
He knew you were close by the way your gummy walls were clenching around him and how his own thrusts had become irregular.
"Come with me, y-yeah, baby!" He whispered in your ear, grabbing your ass in his hands and giving it a little smack before he dug his nails in your soft skin. Your mouth found his neck for comfort, your tongue drawing circles on his pulse point as your climax reached its zenith, finally letting it go as you gripped him for one last time before he spilled his hot load inside your walls, letting some of it drip down onto his balls and the mattress.
Your bodies were stuck together, the sweat mixing in with each other, bodily fluids sticking you both at your hips. You felt your eyes become sticky from the heat in the room. The smell of sex assaulted your nose, and Noritoshi's deep breathing fanned you on your temple.
"Sleep, baby." He told you, still inside you, as your vision went black and you passed out into his arms.
The chill blowing from the AC woke you in the morning. The blanket on your back had done a semi-good job of warming you. You rubbed your eyes, trying to see if Noritoshi had left already, only to spot him walking out of your bathroom with a single robe draped around him.
"Well, good morning to you, too!" Noritoshi smirked in amusement, looking at your exposed body barely covered by the blanket he had found in your closet. You quickly wrapped the fabric around yourself, checking what time it was and whether you had missed anything from the night before.
"What were you doing here yesterday? Don't get me wrong, I loved the little surprise, but you know." You smiled sweetly, reaching out to him with your arms open to squish him into a hug.
"I was on a mission in Tokyo with Todo, but he left without me." He hugged you, the fabric of his robe engulfing the skin on your shoulders, warming you.
"What was the excuse this time?" You chuckled in the crook of his neck. You and Noritoshi had started dating sometime in the summer when he and his group of classmates were offered to stay over at your dorms after a long mission in Chiba. You had simply exchanged numbers back then, but the sexual tension was there even before the two of you had properly spoken. He was always in the back of your mind, his figure always standing somewhere near you, glancing at you and paying attention to how you moved and spoke. It was obvious he had a little crush, but you did not want to be the first to approach. Kirara had been delighted when she heard about you two, considering she was the one who facilitated the conversation in the first place.
Despite the loose attitude of your teacher, you knew Utahime was not someone to be messed with. She had already regarded you warily because of the alternative look you carried yourself with, but you couldn't help that your clan's cursed technique was Irezumi and ink manipulation. You also did not want to stir up any of the politics amongst the students with your relationship, knowing how the higher-ups treated Hakari and Kirara when they started dating openly. That is why both you and Noritoshi had hidden your secret so well. At least for him, it was about his position in his clan; he did not want to lose his footing as the heir. Once he was appointed and the old hag who was the current head finally kicked the bucket, he would make sure to parade you around for the whole world to see. At least that is what you had always believed and hoped.
"Let's just say I told him I was visiting someone special for the time being." He said sweetly, lolling his head to the side. You smiled at him, giving him a small peck on his nose before he had to start packing up and sneak out of your dorm to make his presence known.
As soon as he was fully dressed and ready to sneak out, you gave him a final kiss on the lips, making sure nothing was out of place in his usually put-together look.
"I'll see you in Kyoto when I come to visit for my own business there. Text me when you catch the train." You frowned as he nodded, both of you knowing you wouldn't get an opportunity like last night for some time. His hand finally grasped your door handle. He paused, listening for anyone in the hallway, before disappearing into the corridor and out into the campus yard.
I won't be amazed if we even have an informant in our leagues. Gojo Satoru had tasked you with discovering more, but you suspected he already knew who it was. You were certain it wasn't your boyfriend who had just left you half-naked inside your room; he cared too much about his position and his clan's reputation to deliberately sabotage it and the Jujutsu academia. Before you could even think about travelling to Kyoto, you needed to ask for more information and maybe have some of the first-year students tag along. Besides this issue, you also wanted to dig deeper into the sorcerers you had felt in the Saitama woods last night.
The feeling was strange, something that passed through you like an arrow, shooting you in the stomach and coming out the other end. A pair of eyes you knew were directly observing you: your tattoos, the cursed residuals you were leaving all over the bridge in Saitama. You were aware this would only be the beginning, but you had to make the first steps towards them, or him, yourself.
"Isn't she just a marvel to look at, Choso?" The man with long hair and stretched-out ear piercings asked the young boy standing in his white and plum robes, as you had quickly driven off from the bridge. He had been observing you from afar, having only taken a good look at you. He was not even in the area because of you, but because he had felt his brothers perish at the hands of Nobara and Yuji. The way you had acknowledged his presence, no one had ever noticed him that way.
The dragon on your skin swirled around your back. Smaller animal and flower motifs covered your arms. The intricate samurai sword tattoo ran down your whole right sleeve, surrounded by spider lilies. A marvel you were, indeed.
"You know what to do, don't you, Choso?" The man in a traditional Gojo kimono stood by the young man named Choso, stitches painfully obvious, piercing around his forehead. The tone in his voice was laced with shallow promise.
"I do." He retorted simply, quickly descending from the cliff into the riverbed and disappearing into the darkness of the night.

Despite the weekend evening hours, the train station in Tokyo was not crowded at all. Your ticket loaded on your phone, the konbini snacks secured in your bag. Your usual uniform was discarded for a simple black outfit that covered most of your skin, the accessories now in full throttle because no one could tell you that you had too many piercings on: you remembered how Gakuganji had shrieked once when he saw you with a piercing protruding on your pectoral and had almost met his creator.
A mischievous feeling erupted in your stomach, the kind that made you find Kirara’s number in your phone and text the girl about the plans for your next few days. You needed to relax a bit, get wasted some time in the week.
Shining Star Kirara ⭐️: I’ll let Hakari know to stock up on alcohol, lol.
You smirked in triumph, closing your phone and stepping back from the platform to let the oncoming high-speed train approach the station. Tokyo - Kyoto Shinkansen, one of the fastest trains in the world, would have you arriving in no time. Does this sound like Japanese propaganda if you bless the creators of these trains? Eh, what the heck!
Your hand froze halfway into your bag. The air pressure in the train car shifted, or maybe it was just your lungs forgetting how to work. Something was watching you through the window. Not something. Someone. The sensation lasted a millisecond, 1 to the 9th power, but it pierced through you like a whoosh, or a punch in the gut. Your fingers went numb around the plastic wrapper. The dreadful knot in your stomach twisted tighter, pulled taut like a noose. Sweat prickled at the base of your neck despite the air conditioning. You tried swallowing, but your throat had gone dry. The fluorescent lights overhead suddenly felt too bright, the elderly woman across from you too close, the train walls too thin. What the hell was that?
You tried ignoring it, thinking it was something in your head, but you were sure you had just felt a very familiar cursed spirit make itself known in your presence.
She can sense me!
He sat in a completely different wagon, not even in the same row or the same vicinity as you, and you could still have felt him through the minuscule moment he had almost let himself slip.
“She is a powerful one, Choso. You should be careful around her!” He warned me of this. Maybe if I aim at her specifically, I should avoid steering too much attention to myself. No, I will be overpowered, not now!
You tried calming down as the train slowed down over its last half hour of the road, and you managed to somehow convince yourself that nothing would happen while Noritoshi was around you. Specifically, he would be picking you up tonight from the train station, but dread pulled in your stomach as he texted you how he was stuck at the Kamo estate, dealing with some of the elders in the clan. Cool, alright, nice, okay!
The train slowly entered the Kyoto station, the announcer beamed through the speakers, and the doors opened to your left. You were to exit the station and then walk straight to the bus stop that would stop at the Kyoto Jujutsu High Campus. You thought about calling up Urahime and asking her for a small favor, but considering the type of assignment you were given by Gojo, you knew she would ask too many questions. Better to suck it up and just ride the bus!
Your feet, without any anxiety or shake in them, dragged you towards the only known bus stop that rolled out buses towards Jujutsu High. The next one wouldn’t appear for the next 15 minutes, and you still had some drinks untouched in your bag, you could get busy with. You’re about to be promoted to special grade; there is no way you are chickening out right now! You tried cheering yourself up, slightly shaken up from the fiasco of emotions that ran through you in the train wagon just some time ago.
The minutes finally ticked down on the information board, showing less than a minute until the bus's arrival. As you threw away the last wrapper of the mochi you were munching on, you watched the bus hiss into the parking space, headlights almost blinding you as they shone directly into your irises before stopping with its doors right in front of you. You dragged your backpack closer to your collarbones, feeling the fabric of the strap irritate the skin on your neck. Your consciousness somehow did not get lost in the summer heat and humidity, your body being fanned by the AC blaring from the bus's vents. You took a seat right by the window, closer to the exit.
Your head lulled from side to side, trying to find a comfortable position before the driver could start the bus.
"Dear passengers, I will now continue our journey to-"
The driver's cheerful voice cut off abruptly. His head snapped to the side with unnatural speed. His neck took an unnatural angle, like paper being bent or a blanket folded. A fountain of blood gushed from the hole pierced directly through his jugular, his light blue dress shirt turning an aggressive plum. You watched the blood pool at his feet. Horror struck you as the smell of blood assaulted your senses, the limp hands barely dangling from his sides, the bus engine rumbling lowly in the distance. Your vision blurred. You went deaf. Your tongue went numb.
The familiar cursed signature snapped into your consciousness. Dressed in a white gown with a purple vest stood a young boy just a meter away from you. The dried blood streaks beneath his eyes were now gushing with fresh blood, which he was collecting in his palm. He quickly snapped them together, the tips of his fingers now pointing directly at you.
His eyes pierced right through yours, a strike ready and aimed directly at your chest. Fuck, snap out of it! Fuck, snap out of it! Your body was preparing too slowly; the ink in your sleeves finally dissolved, pulling at the tips of your fingers and staining them black to the knuckles. Cursed energy surged through your body, ready to dodge the next blow.

Synopsis: The first-year Gojo Satoru students embark on a new adventure back to Megumi’s hometown in Saitama Prefecture, accompanied by you, the only third-year Tokyo Jujutsu High student not suspended, with the hope that you all crack down on the Yasohachi bridge curse, only to end up meeting some interesting curse users. The first encounter with cursed wombs unravels chains of events in your life that you would have never imagined would be possible in the Reiwa period of beautiful harmony.
Author's Note: Hey everyone, this is so awkward, but I am easing myself into the process of writing again. I wanted to get the idea out of my head of basically a curse user who uses something similar to blood manipulation, but with ink of traditional Japanese tattoos and their motifs. something like shikigami, but yet again, this is something I am in the process of developing. This fic, as I have mentioned, will be long, so buckle up. our mans hasnt appeared here yet, but I needed an introductory chapter. Hope you enjoy and be patient with me as I output the work slowly. - Victoria <3
Twenty years ago, at Saitama Urami East High in Saitama Prefecture, Megumi Fushiguro’s hometown school developed a bizarre coming-of-age ritual that involved their local bridge and bungee jumping to complete the ritual of finally “graduating” into adulthood. It was silly, really, but ever since then, the bridge had become a sort of legend: many committed suicides, many still took part in the bungee-jumping ritual secretly, and cursed themselves to oblivion. It was a popular field trip destination for many students at Jujutsu High School due to its high activity and the mystery surrounding the bridge itself. Many of the teachers had taken a liking to the bridge, at some point sending multiple groups of students to discover more about the region’s history and perhaps learn about the curse that had caused all the commotion in Saitama. For years, the activities were dormant: something out of a scary story you would share around a bonfire, something you would not even call an urban legend anymore, lay silent under the bridge. Until this summer came. This was something your group was unaware of, of course, but something you would discover soon.
“We are going to be meeting up with some of the students at Saitama Urami East High, or at least one for now, who knew all three of the students. Hopefully, we will know something more than we do now by the end of the day,” Nitta says, handing you printed documents related to the killings of three adults connected to the High School. She steadies her hands on the steering wheel, guiding the car under a tunnel. She exits onto a mountain road and turns right toward the small city. A road sign reads, “Saitama -> 10km,” as the five of you squeeze together in her car, heading toward your destination.
“Wait, how come we are going to be investigating a school if the killings did not involve current students?” Yuji asks, enthusiasm coloring his voice as he pushes himself toward the front of the car, squirming enough to bother Nobara in the back seat, along with Megumi, who solemnly looks out of the window.
“Yuji, stop squirming around!” Nobara fumed, turning to smack Yuji on the back of his head. Yuji shrieked in pain and turned, rubbing his head while smacking Nobara on her shoulder in return. The two started quarreling, moving around in their seats, as Megumi sighed. You turned in your seat and yelled at them, raising your voice to tell them to stop acting like children.
“I swear,” you muttered, twisting in your seat, “just because we’re crammed into a sedan doesn’t mean you get to scream directly into my ears. Behave.” You glare before making subtle eye contact with Megumi, who had dropped his eyes to your lips. You did not let the small gesture affect you much, as you propped yourself up again in the passenger seat, scrolling through the documents of the three students who had been killed in the span of several months.
“You will see!” Nitta exclaimed, slowing down to a red light and halting.
June — Taichi Kanada.
August — Osamu Shimada.
September — Hiroshi Yamato. (Nagoya.)
Different locations. Same circumstances.
All three had been killed in the same circumstances, with the same complaints to their house managements before their ultimate demise. All three of them had reported the locks to their apartments acting up several weeks before their murders.
“All three died in different places at different times. How come a curse knew where and when to travel?” Megumi points out as he takes the document from your hand, skimming over the papers himself.
“The three of them all died in the same circumstances, it is true. What is also true is that all three of them were part of the same group and attended the same school for about two years. We are going to be visiting one of their friends, who has recently complained of the same issue. That is why we will be investigating the school next, Yuji.” Nitta drives on a small bridge over a little river streaming down between two parts of the same forest.
The bamboo and bright green trees blend in with the summer colors in a beautiful traditional Japanese scenery. You noticed the gloominess of the village compared to the weather, and knew the meeting you five were about to have was not going to be pleasant. It was like a premonition, something you always felt before you found out about deaths or were about to witness one. Hakari had pointed it out once to you, suggesting it could have been some form of a cursed technique, but you just called it a gut feeling. Something that would prove right once again as Nitta pulled up to the small duplex, now engulfed with a crowd of people coming in and out of someone’s house. A funeral.
The five of you had finally gotten a chance to stretch your legs, closing the car door behind you, you looked at Nitta with a perplexed look on your face.
“Is this the guy we were supposed to meet?” Megumi points out.
“All of you stay here while I find out what’s wrong. “ Nitta hurried towards one of the elders sitting outside the house, prayer beads clutched in her hands as she wiped away tears streaming down her old, wrinkled cheeks. Nitta had conversed with the old lady, taking a place right next to her on the bench as her hand came up to comfort the distressed woman.
You glanced back at the three first-year high schoolers, busy observing the scenery in front of them. Your eyes darted all around Yuji’s face, the small crevices cut out right below his eyes, his bleach-toned hair spiked up towards the sky, and his eyebrows raised in curiosity, not noticing the observing gaze that you held towards him.
Considering how tense things had become between the Jujutsu Elders and Gojo Satoru, you knew right after the school annual meeting, the elders were plotting against the vessel again, just like Noritoshi Kamo had told you about his principal’s plan to get rid of Yuji while they visited Tokyo.
“I bet the higher-ups were pissed.” You blurted out loud, thinking the words had only voiced out in your head, thinking about the small surprise Gojo Satoru had pulled on the higher-ups with the resurrection of Sukuna’s vessel.
Being a distant acquaintance of the Kamo clan, you knew the great clans and the high school principals were not just pissed at Satoru for this little charade. Truth be told, you could not stand the old geezers at Jujutsu High: the way they tried to control and divide the student body between each other, how your own classmates had come face to face with the absurdity of it, and had to be suspended as a result because of their “disruption”.
“Oh? About what?” Yuji’s eyes darted to your colored ones, finally coming face-to-face with the third-year, not having had a proper introduction from the moment you four started to share a ride.
“Did I say that out loud?” You frowned, looking at Nitta, who was slowly returning to the car after bowing to the old lady.
“Yes!” The three exclaimed in unison, their eyes fixated on the third-year student at Tokyo High, who was, up until this point, an unknown student.
“Sorry about that, I seem to think out loud sometimes. But it is amazing how both of you are just fused inside of this one singular body. Does he not get crammed inside? Maybe feels a bit suffocating, you know?” You smiled, looking into the cursed energy markings inside Yuji’s soul, feeling the king of the curses look right back at you and acknowledge your presence. You approached Yuji, standing right in front of him and looking deep into his eyes, trying to gauge what would happen next.
“I would not do that if I were you!” Megumi pointed out.
“Like hell!” A small mouth sprang out on Yuji’s left cheek, startling everyone. Yuji’s hand flew to his side, smacking himself as he apologized for the jump-scare. “He does that sometimes.” He smiled sheepishly as you stared at him wide-eyed, the two other students immediately jumping a step away from Yuji in grimace, as you laughed right into the flustered boy’s face.
“Fascinating.” You smiled at him as you watched Nitta open the car door and sit inside with a gloomy face. Megumi gave you a look-around again, observing the way your eyes twinkled at Sukuna’s little appearance and how you carried yourself like a complete adult. You were Gojo’s student after all, a spiky-haired kid(in essence, despite your long hair), a problem child who grew up to be a little too similar to her teacher. You were interesting to him: similarly to Nanami, you had mixed heritage, something the great clans despised and shunned from their own ranks. Megumi’s eyes scanned you from head to toe, looking at the bright hair that flowed in a unique hairstyle between your shoulderblades, the accessories you had adorned your ears, hands, and neck with, and he couldn’t help but peek at the small, intricate tattoos that covered your sleeves inside the long-sleeved shirts you always wore as your uniform.
Your demeanor was different from the way the other students carried themselves at school, a bit of freedom in your custom uniform, a small sense of independence that surrounded you, almost a proper adult who would graduate from the school soon enough. You were strong enough and bold enough to challenge whatever the higher-ups would dish out for you, only to bow in front of them with a shit-eating grin and quick turn on your heel to get out of their sight. Megumi was more than interested to know just why Nanami had recommended you to be a special grade in just a semester. He wanted to know just what your cursed technique was.
“I think we may have come across our first problem, kids.” Nitta frowned as she started up the engine again. The car rumbled, the AC started fanning at your neck again, and you sighed out along with the other three.
“He is dead, isn’t he?” Megumi was quick to point out, looking at the people gathered around the house, and observing Nitta’s gloomy face.
“Yeah, same case. We just hadn’t recorded this as fast before coming here. We are hot on the trail.” Nitta backed out of the neighborhood, taking the same bridge she had just crossed some time ago. She now drove towards the school, familiar places and houses splaying out in front of Megumi, old times and memories running through his head. He remembered a certain girl from his past, someone who was like family, though briefly, he had come to adore the little girl, now a teenager who shared the same last name as him, but had no ounce of the same blood.
“We will head over to the school to find out more. Perhaps they can give us some clues.” Nitta fumed silently, hoping the case would not go cold as some of them did at Jujutsu High, unless some of the semi-grade ones, or the special grades, had gotten involved. That is perhaps why Gojo Satoru himself was interested in having you tag along. Knowing you were not one to back down from a good fight and puzzle to figure out, Gojo had asked you two weeks ago to accompany the first-years when he had come across you in Ropongi. I’ll give you money!” He cooed in his crazy demeanor again, and you couldn’t say no (to money).
As the five of you finally came close to the building of Saitama Urami High, you felt the connection of the death somehow permeate the whole of the campus, certain signs and left over cursed energy flowing right in the crevices of the school, a certain type of dread came over you as you looked at the others conversing with the local school students and an old man who seemed to be a teacher. You wouldn’t know. But you knew there was something more than just some stupid paranormal activity as you overheard the students talking about some bungee-jumping ritual that the older generation would take part in on the Yasohachi bridge.
You listened further into the conversations of the students, finding out how Megumi had a sister, Tsumiki, who gave you that familiar gut feeling in you that would require you to dig deeper later.
You decide it was time to investigate the bridge instead of roaming around the campus aimlessly, you quickly get to the car, not waiting for the others to jump into the car before you, as you make yourself comfortable in the passenger seat, fishing out your phone to check on Noritoshi if he had texted you anything new.
“Well, we now have some form of a lead; we will be going to the bridge at once.” You sighed out, finally feeling the day getting more fun.
By the time you had arrived at the bridge, you had lost all the fun that had crept up on you from before. The bridge felt eerie, that was for sure, but there were no markings or residual cursed energy left behind by a “curse”. You thought that if the bridge were somehow to curse students who would jump from it, you would have to give it a chance by jumping.
Before you could even volunteer to fling yourself off the high bridge, the first-years had pulled out a rope.
“Yuji!” Nobara exclaimed as the other two wrapped up Yuji like a Christmas gift, ready to pop. It took him two jumps just to realise it was all futile, and nothing was going to happen from simply jumping off the bridge, during the day at that.
“Is he always acting like he hates his life, or is this a rare occurrence?” You asked as Yuji made it up the bridge again for the second time after jumping, not feeling any form of change in the cursed energy surrounding him.
“He does not hate his life,” Megumi answered monotonously.
“He is just a complete idiot who will do anything at least once.” Nobara chuckled as she threw the robes back inside Nitta’s car.
You chuckled to yourself, observing how the first-years bickered between each other, and realised you missed having a team of your own by your side during your missions.
The Jujutsu Tokyo High had a total of three third-year high schoolers, but Hakari had gotten in trouble and was expelled after failing to fix his issues with a brief suspension. There followed his girlfriend Kirara Hoshi, who had dropped out of school herself, just to follow her boyfriend into the world of illegal gambling and sparring. You did visit them from time to time, but it was no fun exorcising curses all alone when you could have done it like the old times. You missed bickering with them while Ichiji drove you three around missions, fighting over who would sit in the front and who would drive you all back after the mission was completed. Though Principal Yaga hated it when you drove, he could not go against you when he had observed how good a driver you were.
Since the bungee-jumping hadn’t affected Yuji much, and there was no residual cursed energy around you, you had declared that the problem was not the jumping part itself, but the landing: the curse must have been bound to a place under the bridge or right by the riverbank, where it would have created a simple domain with its curse technique imbued.
You were deep in your thoughts, looking out on the flowing water and the setting sun, as Megumi interrupted you.
“I know what you are thinking.”
“Yeah, we need to go down,” Nobara said as the four of you exchanged glances. Nitta was against it at first, bickering to you about how dangerous it was and how the group should retreat and call for back-up when resources became available.
“Nitta, we have a semi-special grade with us; we will be fine.” You smirked, looking at the three other students who exclaim in unison.
“Wait, what-?” While Yuji tried to ask you some more questions, a couple had approached your group, specifically a brother and sister who had let Megumi know the familiar pattern of a broken door lock had caught up with her from her old school days, and that the day she had done the silly ritual was together with Megumi’s sister, Tsumiki.
Aha, Megumi’s sister had also been cursed that day, considering the girl who had accompanied Tsumiki was now being actively hunted by the curse, so there was no way Tsumiki would be safe, either. You watched Megumi’s face turn pale as he quickly dialed Ichiji to ask for backup and check up on his sister. While Ichiji would have someone look over Tsumiki, the school was unable to dispatch more resources to the group and advised them to return if the threat was too much to bear.
“We cannot spare another minute while the curse is actively hunting the next jumpers. We need to go down.” You commanded, but Megumi had refused.
“The mission is far more dangerous than we thought. We should go back, but I will be going back to the school to investigate something further. You all need to go back now.” You saw right through Megumi’s fear and scheming, nodding once and following Nitta along with the other two to go back to Jujutsu High, but as soon as Nitta had closed the door behind her, you instructed her to wait around the entrance of the city and that you would give her a ring before midnight. She shrieked, threatening to contact Gojo if the mission got out of hand, but you knew that with Megumi beside you, a semi-special grade, you would handle the mission without higher involvement.
“Nitta-san, since when do you not trust me?” You cooed and gave her a mischievous smile, one that told her she would have to bullshit through most of the report by the end of the week. You were a known trouble-maker along with the other suspended students, but despite the others, you had never come out of a mission defeated. “B-but!” Nitta tried to protest, but you waved your hand goodbye as you nodded at Yuji and Nobara to follow you back, where you knew a certain idiot was trying to face the curse alone under the Yasohachi bridge.
The sun was slowly setting, the water getting louder as the three of you approached Megumi from behind, his demeanor now looking defeated, hunched shoulders in the front as he felt your presence approach him.
“You are not a good liar, Megumi,” Nobara smirked, patting the distressed boy over his shoulder blades. Yuji had followed in unison, putting his arm around his shoulders and slowly skipping down the trail that led to the underbelly of the bridge.
“Like one hell of a liar.” You smirked as you walked past the trio, wanting to be in the forefront of the group to make sure whatever would jump out would meet you before it met them.
The sun was setting quickly behind the mountains, the chirping of birds had died down some time ago, and the familiar clicking of crickets was not heard despite the proximity to water. It was weird: the space around the underbelly of the bridge was quiet, too quiet. You knew the nature had felt the same way about curses the humans did; somehow, it made sense, everything was still, as if listening to what would happen next.
You had slowly approached one of the banks at the river, feeling out the place. The sun was almost gone, the dark was slowly engulfing the city, and the street lights were starting to shine brighter each minute. It was time. The small glow from the bridge’s lights cast a very faint light over the water, but this was not the scene that you would have to face.
You felt a familiar gut feeling inside you, the premonition that something was about to happen, but that something had to be triggered. You looked at the other three and tried to remember how the legend went about the Yasohachi bridge curse - bungee jumping, and then what? Just get cursed, that’s all?
“There must be a certain ritual we must go through, or some form of action to trigger the domain,” Megumi spoke up first after a brief silence. Nobara nodded, “Maybe we should cross the river, perhaps it will trigger something.” Yuji exclaimed, and you grimaced at the idea. You could pardon everything, just not having to buy a new pair of Doc Martens again because you ruined the adhesive on them by going on a mission and waltzing into a body of water. (This was your third pair this year alone, and it was barely the end of it.)
“Welp, here goes nothing!” You put your hands on Nobara, pushing her slightly into the water despite her small protests, but she did not fight back, as the four of you crossed over under the bridge, praying for something to happen.
The domain simply spawned in a matter of seconds before you had reached the end of the river's width, feeling the atmosphere pregnant with cursed energy come down upon you like gravity, you graced yourself for the moment, an ugly, cursed spirit would pounce on you. The domain was simple, yet its shell, obvious in every other domain, was hard to crack from the inside. The domain was permeated with cursed rods flying all around the four of you, the cursed spirits coming out from all the little pores of the walls, springing up in their little song.
“Straw Doll Technique: Resonance!” Nobara readied her nails and hammer, looking at the smaller curses that sprang out of the pores of the domain. She slammed some of them down like whack-a-moles, but the curse kept springing out of other locations, confusing the four of you as you tried to look for the creator of the domain. The body of the domain had no single entity, meaning the curse had been manifested to cover a large area, the whack-a-mole curses sprouting up from time to time.
Megumi had called on his shikigami dog now, the one who had combined his two divine dogs into one, a werewolf-sized husky-looking hound which chewed on every new baby curse that would spring out and sing aloud of their presence. Yuji tried whacking some of them away. Your technique was too complicated to summon on a domain this weak, but you knew this was not the main problem the four of you would come across.
“There has got to be something-” You did not even get to finish your sentence before a much larger, cursed spirit appeared in front of you, with a large mouth on its stomach and a green hue to its skin. It spoke to all four of you like a human. Can they do that? The curse dashed right between you, almost attacking Megumi, and then stood off in front of you, like a dog ready to pounce.
This was new! A cursed spirit that spoke and deliberately challenged you all to fight with him, his mouth and supposed eyes leaked blood, the smell was very familiar to you, almost mixed in with something inside of it, like poison mixed in with sweet honey. Sour to smell.
You did not give the cursed spirit time to act, as you quickly dashed between the first-year high schoolers, touching them on their napes as you activated your own technique, Irezumi: Shell Mark. A binding tattoo seal on an ally’s skin lets them dodge one fatal blow to their core or soul. The tattoo would resonate with your cursed energy and let you know if the ally had survived the hit. The drawback was that if the cursed technique used on your ally was something that took time and killed the person over some period of time instead of immediately, your cursed energy output would be affected to make up for the protection of the ally. A risky technique that you had developed in middle school, but something you had now controlled through your ample cursed energy output.
“Yuji, I presume you got this!” You snarled at the cursed spirit, who had started mimicking a child, asking if any of you would want to play with him. You snorted at the smell permeating the domain, knowing that the curse smelled suspiciously of dried, rotting blood.
“Hai!” Yuji exclaimed as he and the curse got dragged outside of the domain, leaving the three of you to continue your haste assault on the Yasohachi domain, trying to dismantle the curse to make sure it did not take anyone further.
“We just have to whack them all, as soon as they are all dead, we should see the domain lift. We can help Yuji once this is over.” You nodded at Megumi, who was hoping to lift the curse soon enough before it got to his sister. The truth was, one of the staff from the Jujutsu High had been dispatched to look over her condition, but you all knew a mere assistant would be able to do nothing against a powerful curse, brewing over two decades.
For a moment, everything had stilled inside the domain, all the monsters had been exorcised, and the domain remained unbroken. In the moment before another spirit could make itself known, a mysterious, bulky hand latched itself on Nobara’s shoulders and started dragging her out of the domain.
“You do not worry about me! Keep smacking the moles, lift the domain! I’ll be fine!” Nobara pointed at Megumi before she disappeared outside the domain. You took a glance at Megumi, who was now stressed beyond belief, thinking he was all alone, before he glanced at your calm demeanor and calmed himself.
“The domain seems not to be lifting. We are missing something.” You pointed out, fingers fixed on your chin as you thought further about the domain’s structure. The smaller curses had been exorcised, the domain structure unchanged, the other curse would not have been the domain’s user, considering you felt Yuji still fighting him, along with Nobara fighting another cursed spirit, something was missing-
“Senpai, look!” Megumi pointed towards the ceiling of the domain, an unopened flower-like contraption hung low from the domain’s wall, leaking something like amniotic fluid as the flower slowly started to breathe and open up. Megumi’s eyes widened as he observed the now fully realized curse that had jumped out of its womb.
It can’t be! Sukuna exorcised you before!
“Isn’t this the same curse you and Yuji came across before?” You exclaimed to Megumi as the curse now jumped out of his contraption, emerging to dash right in front of you and Megumi, dodging his attack as both of you landed on opposite sides of his domain.
“I thought we had killed him!” Megumi retorted, dodging another of the curse’s attack. You readied your curse technique, taking out a bamboo stick with needle endings, infusing it with cursed energy, and pointing it towards the curse.
“This is not a curse you would simply kill. It’s housing another finger.” You noticed the small hole protruding in the middle of the curse’s chest. As if understanding what revelation you had just made, it clutched its face in his hands and started smiling eerily.
“Irezumi: Ryu.” You exclaimed as you took off the outer layer of your uniform, discarding the thicker suit to the ground, as you bared your backless shirt to the world. The traditional dragon tattooed on your skin was coiling around your back, darting from your shoulder blades to your waist, down to your buttocks, letting out a shriek as it felt the need to jump out of your skin.
You clapped your hands in front of you, aiming the bamboo stick in the curse’s direction as the tattoo dragon finally emerged from your shoulders through your forearms and fingertips, coiling around the cursed womb, squeezing it till it felt like it would pop.
Megumi’s eyes widen as he watches you pop out another cursed shikigami off of your hands and direct it right in his direction, a small spider liy floated right into Megumi’s palms, snaking up his forearms as you instructed him to strike the curse with the dragon. He directed it as you said, but the moment he was about to touch the curse, you felt a pang inside your stomach, knowing that both Nobara and Yuji were caught up in a timed cursed technique. You felt the cursed energy deplete from your reserves, but you did not fret, as you dodged another combustion straight from the domain master.
“Senpai!” Your back crashed into one of the walls of the domain, a gust of air leaving your lungs as your dragon tattoo returned onto your skin, coiling itself around your waist and back again.
Whenever you get a chance to fight with any special grade or grade 1 cursed spirits, I want you to observe Fushiguro and give him a chance to really shine his way through the battle. He is a closed-off kid; he has a hard time realising how talented he is. Guide him for me, why don’t you? Gojo had smirked at you before assigning you to the kids during this mission. You knew you still had immense amounts of cursed energy, despite Yuji wasting it away, landing black flashes on his opponents. You felt yourself slowly regain composure, at which your eyes darted to Megumi, his forehead bloody, almost unconscious as he tried his best to fight off the finger bearer. Before you could summon another of your techniques and imbue your weapon to realize it in a different form, he stood up and looked at you, before he let out a smile and clasped his hands together.
“Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden. “ A goo-like substance finally emerged from him, engulfing the domain the cursed womb had created and covering the whole floor of it with small shikigamis of Megumi. It was incomplete, and to your standards, ass even, but for a kid who had just been a first-year student at Jujutsu High, he had finally unleashed his full potential: you watched this solemn, depressed teenager finally unleash his true character, opening up to the possibilities that his bloodline bestowed upon him, you watched him finally set himself loose. You truly thought perhaps in the future, there could ever be a time when you could mentor someone yourself, perhaps train them, and teach them something that would unleash them like Megumi was being unleashed this moment from a simple realization of his potential.
The cursed spirit tried fighting away whatever animals had latched onto it, finally succumbing to the domain and your previous onslaught on him and evaporating into cursed residual. The domain had finally lifted as soon as the Garden was recalled. You watched the finger lie there in the residuals and picked it up, wrapping it in some of your uniform and tucking it away in your pockets.
“Good job, Megumi-!” You tried to cheer up the kid, but before you could even hear him say anything, he smiled and sank to the ground, exhausted from his immense power output.
Poor thing fell asleep. Must have been depleted. You felt the Shell markings evaporate in your cursed signature and slither their way back on your nape. Yuji and Nobara had exorcised their own opponents. Time to give Nitta a call.
