Chapter 33
It took a while, but eventually. Yuuji healed.
But there was something concerning about it. Throughout the whole process, Choso has kept tabs on Yuuji, he can often feel the pain of a brother or their mindset. But with Yuuji, something startling occurred. "My connection is strained," he said bluntly one morning.
It was shortly after he got a text from Suiryu saying Yuuji had recovered, but now, Choso is saying his connection to him isn't the same as before? "What do you mean strained?" Junpei asked.
Choso shook his head to it all. "I could feel him struggle. I felt his pain, and now he is healed… I… cannot sense him as well as I did before." He said bluntly. "It's still there, but greatly hazy… this has never happened to me before."
"How or why would your connection get hazy?"
He didn't know, but, he feels that Yuuji has changed drastically, so much so that he could feel his connection strain.
"We should have a talk with him and make sure everything is okay with him…"
Choso nodded, but paused. "I do believe little brother is coming to us… and he's not alone either."
Junpei felt it too, there were powerful energies heading their way.
There was a little bit of time, so he flew about to check on the brothers and told them about the company coming.
By the time he returned. Junpei hit the ground but saw Satoru Gojo, Yuuji and his friends had come. "Hey, Yuuji!" he cheered.
Yuuji forced a smile, but… he didn't seem like himself. As odd as it was for Choso to pick up on it, Junpei himself was sensing the change. "There you are, we came here to drop this off!"
Gojo tossed him an odd packet, Junpei opened it up but paused. That symbol. "Wait… is this a school uniform?!"
"Yep! Welcome to Jujutsu Tech!"
Yuuji suddenly perked up. "He gets to go to school with us!? This is great!" he cheered. "You and I get to be classmate!"
That's the Itadori he knows.
"JUNPEI, LUNCH!" shouted Eso, but paused and smirked to the company. "I guess it's a good thing I made extras… Suiryu isn't with you is he?"
"Modeling" chimed Nobara. "Lucky bastard…"
"Then come on in for lunch,"
"There's no way I am refusing a free meal…" snickered Gojo as he licked his lips. "What are we having?"

"Wait, tonight?!"
It would be two in the afternoon when Suiryu dropped by. He told Tanso, Eso and Junpei to get ready for tonight; they have their first concert! "Yep, we made the arrangements, it's a secret show Bloodbore does so the fans coming don't know who is playing… so tonight, it's gonna be us!" he decreed with a wicked grin. "So buff up!"
Junpei sighed aloud as he did what he was told. Ever since he learned this method of altering his body, he has been collecting blood from curses; Suiryu keeps it in his storage space. Perhaps he will teach that technique to him sooner than later!
He forced fed himself the blood needed to buff out, at the same time, as he adjusted himself. He kept peering into the mirror. That refined face, the stronger looking body, and slightly greater height. It was a good look for him.
The brothers were then whisked away to the concert venue. They snuck in through the back out of prying eyes. When they reached the dressing room, Junpei took one more look in the mirror. "So I look okay?" he asked.
Tanso gave the thumbs up. Eso nodded his approval. "You look more mature, little bro. But I still like the classic you."
Suiryu then burst into the room. "You ready to fuck them up?" he asked.
"We're ready to play if that's what you mean…" Eso said nervously.
"Yeah, well, let's do this, our début as a band. Ryomen Sukuna!" Suiryu cheered. "Let's make sure the world loves that bastard's name, let's see how much power he gets from cheering fans…"
