The sky was a boring blue with wafty white clouds of fluff lazily swimming about in bliss.Twin sets of footsteps drew near each other, On one side was the Tokyo Jujutsu High and the other Kyoto Jujutsu High. Both parties walked on hard concrete tiles with their respective Sensei's leading. From Tokyo: Gojo Satoru and from Kyoto: Iori Utahime.

They had devolved into pointless banter with Satoru being overtly flirty and confident as usual. An antique he couldn't care less about. His lips were a tapered frown and his eyes the usual dead fish as he scanned the personnel present. A semi-familiar crowd with Noritoshi Kamo, Aoi Todo, Nishimiya Momo all of whom he had faced during his first year in Jujutsu High.

Well, faced would be a strong word considering Yuta Okkotsu, his fellow classmate and loner ~who was no longer a loner getting into a relationship with Maki 'Damn you, you seductive Gorilla. '~ had called out his unique friend.

He was wearing the Jujutsu High Uniform but with the shirt being replaced by a similarly colored blazer below which he wore a plain white shirt with grey buttons. He had black pants on with White and Blue Sneakers. His hair was at least not as unruly as before due to a certain someone forcing him to get a haircut. Now they were slicked back and his iconic ahoge was lost in an array of similarly styled hair making him look like a yakuza member.

The slow scan that was totally not inspired from laziness eventually landed onto a person who captured his gaze for a moment. Short bangs framed her haughty but good looking face with short height and a snarky attitude, it was of course the figure of one Mai Zenin.

Noticing his unsavory stare her small lips twisted into a mean frown as her eyes responded the glare with promise of murder. Damn she really hated him didn't she? But he didn't fold. He didn't need to. She had been like this ever since he left, snarky and mean, most times unreasonably so. He knew that at times those same words could apply to him but it never came from a place of insecurity nor weakness. No he didn't need to give in because he knew she would, soon.

And lo behold after a second she shifted his gaze, suddenly finding the trees in the surrounding area very intriguing. Hachiman's gaze softened, he frowned and diverted his eyes away from Mai.

Another figure walked into the scene from Kyoto's side, a feminine one with long flowing hair that went down to her waist and a beautiful face with grey eyes and soft lips. She was wearing a Blue Form Fitting T-Shirt with a small golden zip running down from her neck that was opened down to her collarbone,Over the Blue T-Shirt she was wearing a lab coat making her look like a Chemistry Teacher from a posh high ranking School. Her impressive legs were hugged by Black Jeans and her feet had Red running shoes with black accents.

He hadn't seen her for a long time. She had come by to Tokyo because she and Yuki Tsukumo were being sent on a Special Mission overseas. (Which Yuki Tsukumo promptly missed without explanation.) That was three months ago. And in Hiratsuka Shizuka's opinion, three months too much.

A small grin broke out on her face seeing him which turned into a full on smile as he worked up the courage and waved at her. She waved back causing a small blush to form on his cheeks. A small jerk to the side and a flick of the eyes obviously meaning she wanted to meet somewhere private. He meekly nodded before turning around and silently walking back up the stair they had come down from.

As for Shizuka she just disappeared from sight secretly falling into a portal after erecting a barrier that turned her invisible.

He walked on forward as leaves were flying into the air, both sides of the road flanked by only trees until he took a left turn and walked some more until a beautiful scene revealed itself to him.

There was a traditional Japanese Shrine with multiple gates spread out at equal distance forming a path straight into it at the front. To its right was a circle of greenery rather large in its size to facilitate the giant tree that was growing from its centre. It had a thick enough trunk for a person to lay from head to toes in its diameter and as much as it was thick, it was long growing an impressive Thirty-One meters.

And on its trunk resting her back was Hiratsuka Shizuka, the most beautiful woman in the world. Even as terribly cheesy as it sounded to him it was fact. And so he was happy when he walked up to her he was greeted with a delicate 'Hey' before he took her hands which were to her sides earlier, in his own.

"Hey." It was brief and didn't prompt any reply as their fingers curled around each other. She had always said his hands were unexpectedly soft but he thought it was just hers that were rough. Though he did not mind them, the rough calluses beneath her fingers and on her knuckles were no hindrances to the fuzzy warmth that was inspired in him by her touch.

He paid attention to her every minute detail, the way she breathed in her chest building up anticipation. How he shuffled her feet in eagerness but also a hint of anxiety. Her shaking hands and her scarlet blush were simply lovely.

He kissed her only a light quick peck at first before she leaned in again with her hands leaving my own and wrapping around my back as I did the same as we were lost to the world but not to each other.

We finally separated from the lip lock still resting our foreheads on each other's as we stared into each other's eyes. There was a buzzing intensity between our gazes, a fire that needed to be smoldered desperately and as quickly as possible. But he decided to simply extinguish it for now. Burying his face in her nape, Hachiman blew cold air into her neck. A small jolt rushed through her spine and her waist and neck shook. 'Heh this spot always works.'

"Oi brat, Won't you ever let that go. " She said with fake annoyance as I whispered a quick no before doing it again.

"So… has everything been alright? "

"Mmm yeah pretty much. I took Miwa on a mission last month. Kid's pretty good, heck if she actually gets off her insecurity and tries to only focus on getting stronger I can see her reaching Grade 1."

"Mhm what about the others? "

"Hm Todo's been his usual self and caused a lot of property damage two weeks ago. And Kamo's got a stick up his ass but he's strong so I don't know how to deal with him.And-"

"I miss you. " Her incoming rant was halted in her tracks as her attention snapped back to his face from the bright blue sky.

"Oh really?... " A smug grin spread on her face. Her hands burrowed further and now she was holding him tight. "Oh I can do a lot about that Zenin. "

A frown instantly broke out on his face as he pulled away from her embrace as a sign she had messed up.

"Hey hey I was just kidding. " She completed her sentence with an anxious laugh putting her hands on her shoulders. "Please don't get mad. " More seriousness returned to her voice than before.

He had a sour look on his face when he answered. "You know I don't like you calling me that, Sensei. "

A pang of guilt and hurt stabbed her heart. Seeing her relationship with him, something beautiful that she had grown to love in the past two years be reduced to a distant one even for a moment hurt a lot

"Fuck." His left hand slapped the bottom of his forehead covering both his eyes. "That was so…Stupid of me fucking stupid. Sorry Shizuka. " He removed his hand and matched her gaze.

"I didn't mean it, Shizuka. And it was really stupid and rude and I guess I'm the same idiot you had to handle two years ago. Sorry. "

Unknown to him guilt overtook her, it had been her fault she had been the one being stupid and uselessly snarky. "Hey, I'm sorry it was my fault actually. And you're much better than the brat you were when we first met. Still a brat, But… " She pulled him in a second time. "My brat. " She whispered sultry into his ears before going in for their second kiss.

It was neither as long nor as intense as the last one but it carried of more for later.

"So how's your Third Year Studies been going? Got in contact with Hakari? "

This time it was Hachiman who was resting his back on the plywood walls of the Tokyo Prefecture briefing room. Megumi was doing most of the talking, coming up with a plan for the upcoming battle.

His gaze was trained onto him as the other's stood closer to him making a look a little left out, something he appreciated in fact. He saw one of the first years giving him a long sideways glance, the brown haired girl. But he chose to ignore all of it while passively listening to Megumi.

"But if it comes down to a brawl with no Cursed Energy involved Itadori would win."

Hearing this made him raise his eyebrows.

"That's high praise,Megumi. " He said with a reserved voice. "Can he back it up? "

"I know it is Hachiman-senpai. But I think Itadori can. "

"Hmmm... Oi Itadori. "

"Hai." He replied energetically when le raising a hand as a mock salute.

"Hit me in the gut as hard as you possibly can. Don't hold back on the Cursed Energy: you'll break your hand. "

Itadori thought he was being cocky when he was saying that but regardless he pulled his right hand back and turned his body with the left side forward and the left hand wrapped around the right hand's wrist. His knees were bent just a little downwards in a very light crouch. His Cursed Energy flared and reinforced his body.

A gunshot went off in his mind as his left leg kicked the ground with a large force propelling him forward, the dash was then stopped by the right leg with Itadori using his superhuman strength to not let the right leg bend even a little bit. This was the best possible way to punch when you have time to set up as due to the right leg not budging all the inertia from the dash was directly transferred to his torso which bent forward with speed.

Adding that to the force of his muscles, the result was his fist meeting with Hachiman's gut as a resounding sound of flesh hitting flesh travelled across the room.

Expert Martial Artists could tell some properties of the material they hit without looking. Itadori Yuji could do the same. 'But all this feels like hitting a wall!! '

His eyes that were to the side now went back to Hachiman. And he was shocked when he saw him standing in the same place not having even slid back from the force of his punch.

"The kid's good." He announced to the room giving him his approval albeit in a lazy voice.

Itadori stood there a while before his wits returned to him. "O-oh Thanks!! I'll be sure to improve ossu!!! " He said, regaining his happy go lucky attitude.

Itadori had a dull growing pain in his fist which made his eyebrows shoot up.

"Hikigaya-san has the best reinforcement of all students in both Jujutsu Schools due to his Cursed Energy trait. Except Yuta-senpai that is. "

"What's he trying to say is basically he's a wuss that's too scared to get hurt. " Maki said with a smirk.

'God does the snark run in the Zenin blood? ' Hachiman thought 'Well that would explain a lot, even myself. '

"Um I see. " Itadori said with a look of intense thought. He did not in fact see.

Megumi had an expression of a disappointed mother whose child had not done his homework for a second.

"A Cursed Energy trait is a person's Cursed Energy developing a unique trait because of their lifestyle or personality. Hachiman senpai's trait makes his Cursed Energy more dense and heavy, giving him better reinforcement."

"You alright? " Megumi said while rotating his arms around to free them up. "It's a big job to stall Todo-senpai but you'll have Hachiman-senpai with you. "

The Goodwill Event was orchestrated such that within the battleground several small Curses were scattered throughout it ranging from Grade 3 to Grade 4. However there was a single Curse that was Grade 2 worth a high amount of points. It would start out being closer to the Kyoto side just by a bit because they were the ones that lost last year.

"Nah nah I'll be okay. " Itadori replied with a smile. But Fushiguro kept his gaze trained on him knowing he was lying. "Fine… " He relented with a sigh.

"Something did happen… but that something is why I don't wanna lose anymore. "

A small smile from Fushiguro and he replied. "That's good. I don't wanna lose too. "

"Didn't you get your ass kicked yesterday?" Nobara said as all six of them walked towards the entrance. "It's gonna be a total victory for Maki-senpai. Let's wreck them. " She then shouted, obviously being a fangirl and star struck with her new Senpai.

"Ossu, Let's go and win this!!" Itadori said, striking a pose of putting his right arm on his left shoulder and crouching. Only to get kicked from behind, almost planting his face on the ground.

"Who do you think made you in charge? " Maki said, sounding a little pissed off. "More importantly where's that Emo Idiot?"

"Way ahead of you. " A voice called out as the group diverted their attention to the front as they saw Hachiman standing by the gate of the battleground. They had not seen him there before and now he appeared without noise. Almost as if he had teleported there.

"Haaaahhhhh you wish. Fool. All you are right now is a slacker that can't even show up at time. " Maki said, bringing the Naginata she had been holding in front of her to her to her left. "And why is your hair messed up weirdo? "

"None of your business. " He said now, that he had turned to the side to get into the gate. He pointed his eyes at them before putting his palm in his hair to slick them back.

Suddenly a scratching noise was heard before Gojo Satoru's voice took over.

"T-Minus One Minute until then a word of encouragement from Utahime. "

Gojo Satoru and Iori Utahime sat face to face on beige chairs with a small round table in the centre with two cups of tea resting on it, steaming hot. Another chair to Gojo's left sat empty, reserved for someone.

"So you wanted to talk? " Iori said with a neutral face.

"You angry at me? "

"No." She replied leaving away her anger, of course they had some playful tension between them but this seemed to be a professional meeting.

"That's what I thought!! " Gojo said while raising his finger in the air. "Of course, I can't do anything wrong so why would you be angry. " He said, switching to putting his finger on his chin.

'Aand it's back this fucking idiot. '

However Gojo immediately switched to a more serious body language, folding his arms. "Someone in the school is in Cahoots with a Cursed User Or a Cursed Spirit. "

"That's impossible!! A Curse User maybe but a Cursed Spirit would be outrageous. "

"Hm I would say so too but there's been quite a few special ones popping up recently. Cursed Spirits that can talk have been popping up. "

"What?!? " To Utahime this had been extraordinary news. Cursed Spirits had always been thought of as rampaging beasts. Some having the intelligence to talk would be a groundbreaking discovery.

"Mhm and I want you to investigate the Kyoto Jujutsu High Utahime. "

She had a small frown on her face and a blush but she replied. "How do you know I'm not the mole? "

"No no… " He said, waving his hands around " You're far too weak."

A hot steaming cup of tea was instantly thrown at him only to be blocked by his Cursed Technique, Limitless.

"Respect your elders!! "

"And what about me Gojo? "

A voice called out from their side seeing Shizuka emerging from a portal in the background of which he could make out a certain fish eyed student of his stepping into another portal in the opposite direction.

The portal closed quickly as she got into the room.

"My Cursed Technique strong enough for you?" She pulled back the chair and sat before adjusting her hair so that they weren't pulled. "It's the only one you can't figure out with those six eyes of yours. " She rested her hand on the armrest while putting two fingers on her cheek and crossed her legs.

Hearing this Gojo laughed heartily. "No it's not that. Opposite in fact. You're too strong. If you were the one they're in alliance a lot more would have gone wrong. "

"Hm Good to know. So what do you think we should… "

A few minutes later the trio sat in a room with Mei Mei, Principal Gakuganji and Principal Yaga.

"...until then a word of encouragement from Utahime. "

"Uhm Some injuries will be unavoidable and uh so um uh let us help each other? Aaand uh… "

"Time's up!!

STAAAARRRTTTTTT."

The Tokyo side bolted towards the centre opting to travel in a group.

A small spider curse suddenly appeared in front of them with yellow skin and orange spots about the size of two heads. Maki brought her glaive forward only to get grabbed by Hachiman by the back of her neck before Megumi yelled an urgent

"Stop!!! "

The Curse was flung to the side as the tree it was hanging off of was broken into splinters and Todo Aoi came crashing through its trunk.

"All of you are in one place. That's good!! " As soon as he completed the sentence a knee was slammed into his face courtesy of Yuji Itadori. Hachiman appeared to his side, capitalizing on the moment of weakness as the others of the group dashed away to their respective directions.

He tuned everything out and supplied Cursed Energy to his left hands. His Cursed Energy always had been dense and heavy so it rarely flared or got out and too away from his body. It allowed for better reinforcement and stealth though he had not told the latter to anyone other than Hirstsuka Shizuka.

A small buzz originated from the palm of his hand as tiny blue rectangles emerging from thin air started arranging themselves in the the shape of a long cylinder approximately a meter in length before hardening to a brown woody color. Even more of these originated from the end of said cylinder this time arranging themselves in the shape of a cuboid that was pure blue in color with a coarse and rough metallic surface.It was a hammer. The ends of the hammer had a small spike littered texture throughout and all the other sides of the hammer had a small logo of a bat enclosed in a red circle.

It was one of his stronger Cursed Tools that took more Cursed Energy to make but it was what he needed against a monster like Todo Aoi.

All of this happened in a split second as Hachiman raised the hammer and slammed it against Todo's side.

Seemingly nothing happened at first but a moment later the head of the hammer vibrated so quickly and with so much power that it sent Todo flying into the surrounding dense forest breaking trunk and splintering bark on his way.

"That won't keep him down for long. " Hachiman told Yuji that had dropped to the ground with a crouch as a result of disengaging Todo before the hammer strike.

"Hm.Hikigaya-san? You should go for the Curse. I think I can take him. " Saying that Itadori makes Hachiman raise an eyebrow and look at him with a doubtful look.

"Hm? Well I'm still not sure but ok. Remember you don't have to win ok? Feel free to bail if you're about to lose badly."

Itadori nodded as he turned away and started dashing, the action made the dense greenery around him turn into a blur leaving behind sounds of Aoi Todo asking Itadori what kind of woman he liked.

His footfalls left holes in the ground as Hachiman ran forward with impressive speed and also agility allowing him to weave through trees and rocks and several other obstructions that littered the path. He ran for almost a minute before hearing the faint sound of water running calmly.

Pooling more Cursed Energy into his legs he bent to a low position and then jumped utilising the spring motion to break through the thick canopy that was covering the sky earlier due to the greenery being thicker near the river. Standing on a rather flimsy base made of branches and leaves. It was hard to tell his location on the land but now that he was at the top he could make out the small pond that he had seen at the Southmost of the battlefield to his left. And the small mansion that was present to his right.

'I constructed this hammer but it's too heavy to carry anymore without being a bother goddammit. I should have gone for something lighter. But without this weapon's durability-ignoring effect Todo would eat hits like breakfast.'

He was going to continue forward while steering to the right to approach the centre but his thought process was interrupted by a deep rumbling as if-

A Giant plant burrowed out of the ground and rumbled around the mansion before a root was pulled out the ground that attacked it's open roof and he could faintly make out small figures running just at the edge of the roots oncoming destruction.

'A Grade Two can't cause that. Not even a Grade One. Special? What the hell. ' he looked for a moment before jumping off his current place in the canopy and landing in the shallow flowing river with cold water. 'I have to reach there and if I run there it'll already be too late. Gotta get rid of this hammer too. Might as well. '

He turned his back to the destination as he lifted the hammer up into the air. With the help of Construction, Hachiman could also make Binding Vows with his Constructed Cursed Tools. A binding vow was formed with the hammer to only allow one more strike. It turned the light ocean blue head of the hammer into a dark sea blue.

This in turn increased the power output of the hammer several times over. He brought the hammer down hitting the ground with it as the hammer made contact nothing happened just like earlier before a giant burst of energy was released sending the air around the contact site rolling into waves of deafening booms. The Hammer in a split second disintegrated back into blue rectangles and Hachiman was launched towards his destination flying in air as his blazer flailed wildly in the air.

He maneuvered his body such that his face was again looking at the mansion while he was still gaining altitude. For a moment he could see practically everything in the battlefield. To his right two figures in a clearing fighting, while another two to his left were fighting on rooftops one of which he could guarantee was Panda due to his unique physical appearance. What more occupied his attention was the nearly invisible barrier that had started covering the entire battlefield. This had to be the work of a group of Curse Users. For a moment ee was completely still in the air. He could see everything from up here. Some

small part of him wanted him to spread his arms wide open and embrace the cool air brushing against body.

But he didn't and instead crossed his arms to brace his landing. He drew as much Cursed Energy as possible from his body keeping it close and reinforcing it to the very limits. His descent was quick as the ground and the mansion both drew nearer. Soon the ground came closer faster than the mansion as he impacted, leading with his hands before falling into a tool while shielding his heads so that any of his sensory or vital organs did not get damaged. Thankfully he had landed next to the river where the ground was softest.

He soon came to skid with his legs in the front and soon halted by jamming his oje of them in the trunk of a passing tree. He pulled his leg out of the small dent it had caused and then jabbed into , and got up while stretching his body to see if the falls had caused any sprains or muscles being pulled. After confirming that there were none and sullking a little about his ruined uniform he jumped into the river and started running forwards. The Mansion that was a Japanese styled compound with Red wood and subtle off white Beige accents with Navy Blue roof tiles was closer and soon he was directly in line with it, only having to leave the river and head straight left to reach it.

"Blast Away. " The voice echoed throughout the general vicinity as a large explosion was heard originating from the rooftop. Cursed Energy rushed to his eyes as his vision got significantly better to see a small figure kneeling on the tiles of the roof while another , presumably the victim of the assault, on a higher column of the roof.

Another two figures landed on the higher column trying to cut the figure but being repelled. "Is that Maki and Ka- no that's Megumi. " He thought watching one of them pull out a three part staff out of their own shadow. That was all he needed to see as he ran forward hopping onto the bank of the river before an abrupt projectile forced him to duck.

'It' crashed into the river as Hachiman instinctively turned around. And something about the figure made the hair on his neck stand.qHe had not fully taken in even the looks of the figure but his palm stretched open and Construction buzzed in his hand.

The blue rectangles popped into existence for the second time this day as they arranged themselves into a cylinder again but this time significantly longer being two-and-half meters in length. It hardened with a sharp tip on the head that was made out of metal while the rest of the spear was made of wood. But the peculiar feature was the small wire coming out of its blunt end before coiling around the handle and joining into the tip where it dived back into the body of the spear.

Hachiman immediately threw this weapon with speed into the water nearest to him as it dug into the ground with minimal effort before a small hum originated from it.

Hanami that had just been struck by a special grade weapon was still recovering from the hit and being transported such a long distance. So he did not respond in due time when the small hum turned into the loud buzzing of electricity as pain assaulted his every sense of being, making him grit his teeth and flail around wildly.

Hachiman had thrown the Electric Spear into the water for a quick shock but it was not his end goal. 'Remember, grab in mid air and stab' , the spear was jammed almost half way through the small river and the intruder was lying on the other side, he ran as far as he could without getting into the water and leaped into the air aiming to grab the spear. As soon as he got near it he put a hand on it and uprooted it out of the river bed, promptly stopping the electricity flowing through the water. Continuing his trajectory and rotating the spear so that he held the handle in front of him with the tip pointed downwards he landed finally, not onto the ground at the other side but Hanami's Torso.

He quickly lifted it up and stabbed it into Hanami's chest, making the Cursed Spirit grit its teeth in pain and sending stronger waves of electricity shaking him up to his very core. Soon roots emerged from the ground next to the spirit and rose upwards in great speed aiming to stab Hachiman.

He was forced to disengage and jumped away to his original position on the other side of the bank leaving the spear still embedded in Hanami's torso to inflict a few seconds of extra damage onto her.

She soon reached her only free hand to pull out the spear of her torso, tossing it behind her,before trying to get up.

Hachiman wasn't one to give time for opponents to get up and was about to attack her when she was down but a rapidly approaching presence from behind made him reconsider and so he stood there constructing another Cursed Tool for the oncoming onslaught. Another spear appeared in his hand, this time with a swirling tip with a pointed tip and meter-and-half long steel handle.

He jumped to the left not wanting to get directly tackled by the presence so that he could still keep his eyes on Hanami.

And the thick greenery soon shook before a wolf-like figure jumped out of it, directly going for the intruder.

'Megumi's Technique? Oh yeah Demon Dogs!!' Hachiman thought, having seen the dogs before and recognizing the symbol on their heads. 'But it's different, regardless it's an ally!! '

He bolted forward following the trail of Totality who had already bit a chunk of Hanami's forearm and spit it out.

This had her attention diverted onto the dog and reacted too late by bringing up her forearm when Hachiman fired off a thrust in her direction after getting closer.

Cursed Energy swirling from it's tip blasted off with breakneck pace as it collided with her arm leaving scorching red whirlpool wounds on her body. Hanami cried out in pain giving an opening as Hachiman this time thrust another blow at his torso but a root dug its way out of the ground to shield Hanami while simultaneously attacking him. He ducked to the left, running opposite to it before giving a quick blow to them, clearing his vision. During this time

Totality had been standing at the sides not used to working with anyone other than Fushiguro.

"Don't stop!!!" Hachiman shouted while dropping his hands low and pointed the spear up to its head and thrust. Hanami had gotten used to it now so she ducked to the side and advanced forward to bring it close quarters making him lose the close range advantage. He slid his hands back to its very end holding it tightly before splashing upwards diagonally. Totality had started cooperating now and because he had stopped Hanami in her tracks leaving a shallow slash across her torso. Due to this Totality jumped on taking a bite out of it's back and being thrown back with a quick jerk of her torso.

What followed was an onslaught of synched attacks onto Hanami raining on her one after the other, a left thrust, a leg bite, a downwards slash all too quick in succession and fierce in intensity to spare any hope of dodging or blocking. 'This rhythm!! It's impossible to break out of. Will I have to get serious? '. Finally Hachiman closed in the distance putting the tip of the spear directly in contact with Hanami's guts before driving it in and-

"Blast off!! " He muttered as the tip started spinning at blurring speeds only getting faster and faster before shooting off of the handle and into her guts taking her flying into the river banks where she rolled and tumbled.

However what seemed a small win turned out to be a fatal mistake.

Flowers sprouted from her position as they instantly encompassed the ground around Hachiman's feet. He felt the will to fight leave his body as his hands dropped onto his sides now empty with what was left of the spear, only a wooden handle, dropped to the ground. 'What is this feeling? ' he felt completely defenseless. It only had a hold on him for four and a half seconds but it was enough for Hanami to get up and launch a small bud towards him before dashing towards Totality.

The bud embedded itself into his right forearm before growing into his body. 'An attack that digs into the body? even pull it out, it'll damage my arm. '

Hachiman watched Hanami battling Totality and decided she was the bigger threat. 'It threw it in this position to make me unable to fight. Heh, the benefits of being left handed I guess. '

His left palm was outstretched again.'Fuck I've used three Cursed Tools up until now in just an hour, cutting it close. Should I use that? But I can't afford randomness when fighting an opponent of this caliber.'

His Cursed Technique started working it's magic on his palm before a blinding pain took over his left body as the world went white and all functionality of his body shut up in self preservation. His knees buckled and he fell on them heaving in a large breath and held back a shout of pain not wanting to show any more signs of weakness or draw attention from the engaged Cursed Spirit. 'Fuck!! Did it grow in my arm?!? Cursed Energy Or Cursed Technique what's the trigger? '

Since using his Cursed Technique would require Cursed Energy anyways he decided to test for the latter first. Only a small amount of Cursed Energy flowed through his body before the pain was back burning into his arm. He instantly stopped. 'It's Cursed Energy. I'm out of the fight. I can't even reinforce my body and fight with pure physical prowess. Dammit!'

He watched silently as in front of him Hanami slowly overwhelmed Totality. 'If Totality is this close, where the hell is Fushiguro? ' a second later Totality was punched in its guts so hard it sent him tumbling upstream away from Hachiman.

Thankfully two figures descended from the left, Maki and Fushiguro fell from the left as Maki ran forward and struck it's eyes with a black edged sword.

"Ti od t'now taht" (That won't do it.) It spoke in a warped voice speaking as if a recorder was playing in reverse. Hachiman couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock and surprise. Cursed Spirits were always thought of as rampaging beasts that had no intelligence, and rarely what little they did have barely granted them any respectable form of sentience. In such a case a Cursed Spirit that seemed to talk and had mannerisms of a human was simply beyond extraordinary.

Fushiguro cropped up from behind wielding a familiar three-section staff and hit Hanami in the back of her neck while dashing forward for extra power.

Not waiting for her to recover, Maki and Fushiguro swapped their weapons and charged again, this time hitting simultaneously.

"Never make me use a three section staff again!! " Fushiguro cried out.

"It's not bad when you get used-WATCH OUT FUSHIGURO!!"

Making shouted too late as the incoming bud embedded itself into Fushiguro. Simultaneously a relatively small root about the size of a thick branch rushed towards Maki and pierced her shoulder that she had turned her body to place in the front.

"Sexlfer doog. Treah eht rof gnimia saw I" (Good reflexes. I was aiming for the heart.)

While she was occupied with Maki, Totality that had sat at the sidelines, seeing its master jumped into the fray trying to slash its left shoulder only to dissolve into black liquid upon contact that went into the earth and then back towards Fushiguro. 'It wasn't killed, it was dispelled. '

"Fushiguro don't use Cursed Energy. It feeds off of it and it'll grow inside your body. " Fushiguro's bud that had been inflicted.

Another root wrapped around Maki's shoulders quick enough that she could only put one arm around her neck to give her leverage and make sure the root did not strangle her.

Fushiguro had a grim look before gritting his teeth before his hands curled up into fists as one was placed forward as if halfway through a punch while the other was placed upside down near his chest. "WITH THIS TREASURE I SUMM-"

"DON'T FUSHIGURO!! " Hachiman shouted with widened eyes, realizing what he was about to do.

"We can tag out now. " Maki said in a content voice.

Two figures descended for a second time, one hitting Hanami straight in the head while the other tore away the root that entrapped Maki.

Todo and Yuuji stood in between Fushiguro, Maki and Hanami.

"You good, my friend Itadori? "

"Yeah!! "

'Is it just me Or is it raining idiots today. ' Hachiman thought, finally moving over to the shore now that he had no involvement in the fight.

"Stop Itadori. This isn't the kind of enemy-" Megumi shouted but he was cut off by rough coughs shaking through his throat.

"Panda!! " Todo shouted as said person(?) appeared behind Fushiguro. "Take them outside the Curtain. Nishimiya said it's only been constructed to keep Gojo Satoru and Hiratsuka Shizuka out."

"No!! Even then you won't-"

"Don't worry. " Itadori interrupted as a far away look flashed into Megumi's eyes.

"You see it too don't you? He's beginning to spread his wings. That is where he stands. Now he must do what he does on his own. " Todo said with an insightful look on his face.

"Guh.Fine.But if you die I'll kill you!! " They were picked up by Panda as Hachiman went close in order to follow.

"Want me to carry you too? " Panda asked.

"No, I'm fine. I think I can keep up! '' Hachiman said, eyeing the Bud around Fushiguro's stomach. It had grown quite a bit before he was about to summon that of all things. How long it was outside, it was deep inside, that's how plants worked. And he had a grim frown as the scene behind him disappeared into brown trunks and green grass.

Halfway through the journey, having to slow down because of growing pain in Fushiguro's chest, the sky turned to its usual blue instead of the black it had been sometime earlier. A figure was seen flying in the sky exuding an aura of confidence.

'Gojo-sensei.' Hachiman thought before something buzzed in his left pocket. He fished out his phone to see a familiar number calling him: Hiratsuka Shizuka.

He picked it up, putting it next to his ear and slowing his advance as Panda took it as a sign to slow down too.

"Yo."

"Hachiman! Are you alright?!? " Her voice was worried and not without a hint of sadness. "And how's the others? " She continued in a more neutral manner.

"Yeah I'm mostly alright, still can walk around. Can't use any Cursed Energy right now because of reasons. Fushiguro is pretty beat up though."

"Oh damn. Send me your coordinates. "

"Already on it. "

Hachiman sent her the locations through LINE using an accessory app that allowed for pinpoint locations and coordinates.

Her portal appeared a few meters ahead of him as the group jumped into them, emerging on the other side seeing Shizuka standing in front of them with a ciggarette in between her index and middle finger, smoke slowly drifting upwards from its lit end. She had a small frown on her face as she rushed towards Hachiman seeing the bud sprouting out of his shoulder. "Can't you cut it off? "

"Nope, it'll cause too much internal damage. It also feeds off of Cursed Energy. "

"Is that so? " She said with a small frown and slightly scrunched face.

'Cute. So cute. More importantly… ' Hachiman thought before speaking. "Why aren you smoking? "

"Shut up for a minute, brat. " She brought up her hand before sending energy to it but this time, different from usual. A quick chopping motion near its stem cut off the flower and sent a red energy into Hachiman's arm. However it did not hurt, in fact he felt better as the torn muscles due to the bud stitched themselves together and a soothing sensation radiated through his body.

"This is a prop cigarette,Shrimp. The Kind they use on movie sets. And that was Reverse Cursed Energy. Aren't I a genius?? " She asked, putting a hand on her chin while folding the other to strike a pose.

"S-sensei…" Fushiguro moaned in pain with a rough voice barely clinging onto Panda's shoulders.

"Oh fuck, it's near your intestines right? I don't think I should tamper with something that close to internal organs. Here… " She said pointing her hand towards her right and with a small flick of her index finger a portal was opened into the air. "Quick, show him to Shoko. "

Panda nodded and stepped in as it closed behind him. Shizuka brought back her gaze to him with a small smirk.

"You're cute when you worry. " Hachiman said, leaning and resting his hands on her waist and squeezing slightly.

"Oh really?... " She spoke with a confident voice but he could see the blush that took over her soft cheeks.

"Yeah… " She moved her hands to his shoulders. He leaned in for a kiss to the cheek, biting it after doing so albeit lightly. "We should be together more often, you know. I.. I… "

"I love you? " She said, tilting her head slightly downwards.

"No.I mean yeah obviously but… I also like what you do to me when we're together, The way you make me feel and the things you make me feel… " He could not help but bury his face in her shoulder out of embarrassment. "They're amazing. And I want more of you for myself. "

Shizuka was left extremely flustered by this and was grateful he couldn't see her face and the overwhelming smile that took over it. 'What's with the sudden charisma!!'

"S-since when did you become such a hopeless romantic huh? "

"When I fell in love with you. "

'Gah too strong! Instant reply! 10/10! '

She wrapped her arms around the back of his head. "After I finish up with a meeting right now we're going on a date. My treat."

"Really? I'll have to change."

"You better dress nice, you little goblin. " She unwinds her arms and steps back.

"Bye Shizuka. " He said, raising his hand in a small wave.

"Bye Hachiman. " She responds in similar fashion before walking forward leaving the scene of the-

"Gah." She cried out not noticing the barrier that had formed in front of her which collided onto her body. "What in God's name? "

Her gaze shifted forward to see a barrier in front. It wasn't visible to the naked eye, or even to the eyes of Sorcerer. But due her technique: Barrier Manipulation it was visible to her. And this barrier wasn't just in front of her. On all four sides transparent surfaces with slightly blue tints surrounded her and Hachiman. When she noticed them a path opened up on one side as she saw even more of them forming,a metaphysical hallway formed only allowing travel in the intended direction. It continued ten paces in front of her and then turned left, diving deeper into the Thousand Door, the residence of-

"That fucking Bastard. " Shizuka had an almost angry frown on her face as her Cursed Energy threatened to spill from her body and crack the ground she stood on. 'And why is he inside the barriers!! ' she thought, looking back at Hachiman. 'Does he want to meet him? '

"Hachiman, follow me. " Her voice was grim and serious unlike the warmth and fondness that it had just a couple of seconds ago. He wordlessly nodded and followed her. Their path was rather long as the scenery changed passing many shrines and buildings, all of which were rather old in their age. He stayed a couple steps behind Shizuka watching her coat sway slightly and her hair occasionally move from side to side. This continued up until they reached a small hut, with weak looking walls and a flimsy door.

Shizuka kicked open the door and he was surprised she didn't break it. There was no flat ground inside as a descending series of steps was all that constituted the interior. "Watch your head. " She said, descending the steps while reaching for the cigarette packet in her coat pocket but hesitating and stopping at the last moment.

'She still tends to need the motion of smoking a cigarette in stressful moments huh.' He made a silent observation. The steps came to a stop after a minute and half of descent and there and a steep drop to what looked like a nightmarish forest with a dark atmosphere. Trees with no leaves and pale white trunks and branches pointed out of the garden with a dirty floor. Hiratsuka took none of that in mind and nonchalantly stepped forward as small squares appeared below her feet every time she stepped forward. To Hachiman it looked like an invisible staircase was presented below her feet.

He put a leg forward to check if the same would happen and it did. So he cautiously went on, guided by Shizuka's steps. And soon they were at the bottom with the floor that was covered in a thick layer of dust in which their feet left clearly defined steps as they walked to the other end of the room. He didn't fail to notice the fresh footprints that were already present leading to a small building tucked into the side of the room, surrounded by trees. It was a warehouse. Something made him stop. He didn't know what it was but he stood there with his back straightened and hands to his side, staring captivated at the iron garage door surrounded by degraded white walls under a sloping roof.

"The Cursed Tools Warehouse huh. Later… " Shizuka said looking forward again from the earlier head turn. "Depending on how much that bastard pisses me off. "

There seemed to be an elevator system at the end of the room with a pitch black drop and railings around it. She pressed a button on the wall as the elevator descended and opened

up its doors for them. They stepped in and another button being pressed on the inside prompted it to go down.

The environment was a little suppressing as pure silence took over only broken by the humming of the elevator and the occasional sound of metal rolling over metal like the sound of a moving train. "Sorry you had to…" She started but was too troubled to continue.

He reached for her hand and took it in his own. "Hey, it's alright. I don't mind… " He supplied with a reassuring squeeze. "It's not like I had anything to do anyways.

They stayed like that even after getting out of the elevator as his residence came into view.

If what he had seen on the surface was impressive, there weren't enough words to describe the one that sprouted from the centre of the hollow they had just entered. It shot out of the ground and went up all the way to the roof, it was simply gigantic. He couldn't even begin to estimate its length or width and only looked with surprised eyes.The atmosphere was lit up by sterile white lights at the roof of the cavern spread out in a grid.

"Sadly it doesn't have a cool name as you were expecting like The World Tree Or Yggdrassil. It's just… Tree. " Hiratsuka said with a little humor in her voice.

A shudder travelled from his neck down as he turned his attention to her. "Don't make me remember those years. I regret ever being born when I remember my chunni phase."

"Hoh you sure didn't share that sentiment when I met you. " She said with a small grin. "At Least it helped you in coming up with your Extension Technique. "

"Yeah… " He saw that Shizuka had come to a complete halt, not wanting to go any further. He didn't want to push her too much but also… "Shizuka… are you alright? "

She had stopped looking at him, now his eyes stared at somewhere far away, still physically on him but not paying any attention. "Yeah! Yeah. Um yeah let's go. "

They continued their long trek down the road. The tree was emerging out of a significantly lower altitude and was surrounded by rings of what looked to be empty homes and shrines. Each ring was on a higher altitude than the last and there was a common staircase connecting all of them. Hachiman desperately wanted to ask what this was, and where she was taking him, but she already looked sad enough and he couldn't bear to do any further damage. So all he did was pull himself closer and keep moving forward.

Soon they reached the final ring and the tree only grew bigger with each, he couldn't even see the top now.

"Don't let go of my hand. No matter what. "

She steps through what looks like a white rectangle on the surface of the Tree and he follows suit, never letting go in the process.

A void of pure white greets them and he cannot tell how long or wide or how big it is. The monotonous color steals all his sense of distance and scale, and yet she kept walking forward until.

"Greetings…"

A figure with a ghastly appearance fades into existence right in front of their eyes.

It's head is cylindrical and elongated and his skin has a brown withered textures, with wrinkles littering his figure. A Kasaya- a Japanese Monk's rob covers his body and thick malnourished hands that poke out of the sleeves. It has four eyes and a sharp mouth.

"Daughter."

He feels Shizuka's grip tighten around his hand and her face twists into an expression of disgust and resentment.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that. " She says with gritted teeth and venom. "I am not your daughter. I could never be anything to you. "

"Still as young as ever huh. " He says releasing a small chuckle right after which sounded like it came from a tired old man rather than whatever this entity was calling himself her Father.

"More importantly… '' Hachiman feels his eyes shift from Shizuka and rest onto him. There's something unnerving about them. Like they contained knowledge he could not even comprehend. " I see that 'The God Killer' has already been born, is it? "

"Don't you dare include him in your twisted prophecies!!!" Shizuka shouts, stepping forward and stomping her foot to leave cracks in the white void beneath them.

But those cracks soon retreated to their origin as the material healed itself.

"Do not worry. It's more like I can't include him in my prophecies. " He says as he his hands that were earlier to the sides and folds them. "The only thing known about The God Killer was that his birth would take place at some point in time. And that is all that is known about him. In that sense he shares the same freedom from Fate as those with Restrictions do. "

"Enough of your gospel! Why did you call me here?"

"Why indeed. Well, It was to see you. Does a Father need a reason to-"

"YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER YOU WILL NEVER BE-" Shizuka shouts in a mad frenzy as if she is about to get physical. But a strong tug from behind stops her.

Hachiman is holding her back and makes eye contact. 'It isn't worth it. ' he says as the boiling rage in her eyes comes down to a simmer. There is still enough heat to burn in those eyes but she's holding it back almost turning the tears welling up at the corner of her eyes into vapour.

"We're leaving. '' She says in a decisive tone and turns around, walking back to where she had entered from.

" Five of Sukuna's fingers, and the three eldest Cursed Wombs have been stolen. " He says but she makes no effort to stop.

They stepped out of the elevator as Hachiman's brain was in a haze. Being called something as edgy as 'The God Killer' by what he assumed could only be Master-Tengen. The one whose barrier amplified Cursed Energy and allowed for the birth of Jujutsu Sorcery and Cursed Spirits in Japan.

They walk towards the other side of the room until that feeling that tugged at his consciousness is back again. The same he felt a few minutes ago. His partner comes to a halt seeing him stop too as he stares at the warehouse before shaking his head wanting to move forward.

"No no… " Shizuka says, letting go of her hand and walking towards the warehouse and putting a hand on the metal garage door. She flared up her Cursed Energy as a cross appeared on the door that seemed to be getting charged from her Cursed Energy. That was until it went from a pale blue to glowing neon cyan before the entire door was covered in flame like Cursed Energy.

Shizuka brought her left leg forward before hooking her foot below the small handle before bringing it up with a quick jerk, making the door slide all the way up as far as it could. A rather congested place was on the other side with several weapons neatly placed on stands and holders were on the other side of the door. A dark blue barrier visible to normal Sorcerers formed next to Hiratsuka parallely to the ground as she sat on it. "Take whatever you want. I'll answer for you. "

"You sure? "

"Yeah." She said reaching for a cigarette second time this day but without hesitation and proceeded to light it before blowing a small puff.

Hachiman went in and had a look around, the room wasn't particularly big, nowhere near big enough to be called a warehouse but there was enough space to walk half a dozen steps in both length and width without running into the walls decorated with weapons. Hachiman took a breath as he observed and realized all the weapons here…they were…

'Mediocre… ' he took a blue bladed katana with a red handle in hand and swung it vertically downwards with full force. 'Grade 2 at best, probably Grade 3.' He judged as the force if the swing had led to the blade getting loose and moving freely from the handle when shook.

'I guess Construction has spoiled me a little huh… ' he put it back in its place neatly. Even if it was sub par it was someone's life's work and he did not want to disrespect that. 'My Sonic Hammer is Grade 1 and so is Thunder Spear. Haven't been able to construct a Special Grade weapon up until now, well without that that is.' He looks around occasionally finding a decent looking tool only to learn looks are deceiving.

Something caught his attention in the corner of the room as he moved a pair of Sai and an Orange Staff to get to it. It was a small throwing knife with a handle wrapped with black cloth and a bright crimson guard with two holes on each side. It was double edged and the blade was symmetrical and blue in color with the sharp edges being yellow.

However it wasn't the craft of the Cursed Tool that intrigued him. He slowly imbued Curses Energy into the blade until it was completely covered in a blue glow. He brought it back a bit and threw it to the outside, and so it went sailing and cutting through the air like it wasn't even there before Hachiman flared up his Cursed Energy.

The entire world went black for a split second and he appeared where the knife had been before the flare, sailing halfway through the room heading for the opposite wall. The knife was in his hands as his fingers were curled around its handle.

Hachiman had a smirk on his face as if he had just struck gold. He pocketed the knife making sure that the tip was facing away from him.

"Oi brat did you just teleport?!" The voice of Shizuka cried out as he looked back.

"Yeah I guess. " One moment he saw her sitting on her impromptu barrier chair and the next she was instantly next to him before embracing him in a giant glomp.

"Oh that makes me so happy!! To think a student would be so inspired by me. " She was completely and utterly wrong. But she was also pressing her bosom against her face so he was not going to correct her.

'They do say that Imitation is the greatest form of flattery… ' that mediocrity can pay to greatness was left unattended by Hachiman.

"So happy in fact-" He heard her stomp her foot lightly onto the ground as he slowly felt the land below his feet simply slide away without taking them with it, and soon he felt himself falling.
