I do not own jujutsu kaisen, and English is not my first language.
Nanami Kento looked over the surroundings. It looked like they were tearing down the buildings around him, but Nanami knew better. He had just been at a job and exorcised a Cursed Spirit that was born from the negative energy that gathered after the sudden loss of live.
But why is he still here? That's because Gojo Satoru gave him another job, to look over the one that took eighty-four lives. Not to check over her and see what she is doing, but to look over her while she was looking for some of her lost things.
He has a clear image in his head of Ryomen Sukuna, and had a similar image of her. She was not what he thought. From half a hour ago, he has seen her stumble over something seven times. Sure, the ground is full of stones and broken furniture, but seven is too much for a sorcerer.
All she has done is stumble and pick up small stuff from the ground. Nor does she act as someone who just effectually killed her parents. She looks like a short, shy girl, but Nanami must wondering. Is that just what she wants you to see?
Nanami broke out of his thoughts when he saw that Mis Kurokawa was heading towards him. His muscles tensed, his Cursed Tool in hand. He had had it in his hand the whole time, so if he needed to use it, he could use it without pulling it out .
She stopped in front of him and nodded. It took him a few seconds to understand what she meant. "You're done already?"
She nodded, and I led her to the car that was waiting for us. I took a glance at the box in her arms. There were a couple of photos, a red scarf, a black book, and a well-used box cutter, but Nanami could only wonder why it had a small amount of Cursed Energy. How much has she used it? And what did she use it for? An object can retain Cursed Energy if it is covered by Cursed Energy an extended period of times or if it has been around an area with a abundance of Cursed Energy and strong negative emotions. If it was not crafted purposely to be a Cursed Tool.
"Ok, we're going to take you to Tokyo Jujustu High School. Do you want to stop by your family grave?"
The red-haired girl shook her head. Obviously not wanting to go there.
Nanami Kento didn't like the feeling she was giving him. "Ok, you'll get a message when we find your parents' bodies."
"This is really deep in the mountains! Is this actually Tokyo?" asked Itadori. After they had helped her find her things, or what's left. Had the nice man with the strange glasses let her go when they met the man with the white hair and the boy with the pink hair named Itadori Yuji. Rei thought he was nice.
"Even Tokyo's like this on the outskirts," replied the white-haired man Rui thinks was called Gojo.
"Where's Fushiguro"
How is he?
"He's been treated by a sorcerer, and now he's fast asleep".
Treated? Was he injured? Was it my fault?
Of course, you managed to kill your parents without knowing it. It goes without saying that you hurt someone too
Yes, it sounds likely. I wouldn't be surprised if he hates me already, and I haven't even met him.
"Anyway, you too are about to have a interview with the principal. "
Eh? The principal? AH! I'm not prepared for this! I don't have grades or anything else from my previous school.
"Screw it up and he could reject your admission, so go all-out"
Eh, reject my admission? What happens then? Rui didn't have to wait long for the answer, because Itadori wondered the same thing.
"Huh?! And what then? Immediate execution?!"
What, no! I thought I wasn't going to die! Rui was scared for her life, but instead of answering, she heard a voice that made her stop. It reminded her of her father, but there was something in it. She could feel in her blood that that voice was more than her father. So much more.
"What? So you're not the boss? Any hierarchy other then strength is worthless." On Itadori's cheek there was a mouth, an inhuman mouth. When she saw it, it was like her legs became like udon noodles and she fell to the ground. Who is that?
Itadori slapped himself on the cheek over where the mouth was. "Sorry, sensei. He pops out sometimes."
"What an amusing body you have now", said Gojo, interested if it has anything to do with the King of Curses Cursed Technique.
"I owe you a favor, you know", said the mouth that now came out of Itadori's hand. "Once I Make this brat's body my own, you'll be thus first one I kill!"
Gojo started smiling. "It's an honor to be targeted by Sukuna"-
"This guy's really that famous?" asked Itadori, who slapped his hand.
"Ryomen Sukuna is a fierce imaginary god with four arms and two faces. But he's actually a human that really existed, though it was over a thousand years ago. In the golden age of jujutsu, sorcerers gathered up all their might to challenge him and failed. Crowned with the title of Sukuna, we couldn't even destroy his grave wax as he traversed the ages after death as a cursed object. Without a doubt, he is the king of curses."
"Eh, Mis Kurokawa, Are you ok?"
The two men turned to the redhead. Rei sat on the ground, tears in her eyes. Rei took out the whiteboard she received earlier and wrote "Scared. I fine".
"Ah, yes. I guess finding out that you are descendent of him is shocking. Ha! It's like finding out you're related to Hitler," Gojo said in a happy voice.
"I don't think that's the right thing to say!" said Itadori before his brow twitched and he asked a very good question. Hi sensei. Who's stronger, you or him?"
The white-haired man brought his hand to his chin and took a thoughtful pose. "Well… If Sukuna regained all of his power, I it might be a little draining."
"Would you lose?" asked Itadori and Rei, but she did it in her head.
Without hesitation or show any doubt, he said "Nah, I'd win".
Rei could only look admired at the white-haired mane while Yuji pulled her up.
Oh, I wish I could be as confident as him.
They went into one of the old style houses, the door closed behind them. But Rei could only look at the scary man in front of them.
"You're late, Satoru. Eight minutes late." Said the scary man, super-duper cute stuffed animals around him. Rei could only look at tham with stars in his eyes. Completely ignorant of the conversation around her.
"You fail!"
Rei came back to reality when the scary man stood up. EH! Fail? What, I haven't done anything, why I failed? Or was it Pink! Ah! I forgot his name again! And why do two of the stuffed animals move?!
A green and blue rose up, a strange smile on their face.
"Those weren't dolls?!" shouted Itadori in surprise. Rei took a step back, muscles tensing in the face of possible pain.
"Cursed corpses. They're dolls. Dolls infused with my curse." The green jumped towards Itadori, the green fist blocked by Itadori's bag. But Rei could only be worried about the blue one coming towards her. She took a step back but stumbled on nothing, a blue foot in front of her face. Fear took over and she let out a quiet scream.
Blood began to flow from Yaga Masamichi cheek. A surprised and terrified face. A cut mark on the wall behind him, and the blue Cursed corpses lies in two pieces on the ground. The Green one continues to attack Itadori.
"Eh?! What happened?" he said, avoiding an attack from the Green Cursed Corpses.
"Ooh! it looks like she did it unconsciously. Interestingly, it's similar to my Infinity. I wonder how it identifies danger. Too bad I can't ask her," said Gojo looking at Rei's unconscious body. Her eyes rolled over and foamed in her mouth.
"I see...", Yaga said before looking back at Itadori. Anyway, let's go back to the test. A perso's true nature revels itself during a crisis. I'll keep attacking you until I get an acceptable answer.
"Eh! But is was a family member's dying wish!"
Rei woke up. She was cozying up on the floor. She thought about staying there but someone noticed her awaking up.
"So you've finally woken up." Rei sat up and watched the scary man sew on the blue stuffed animal, which looked like it had been damaged. Itadori and Gojo is not here. He passes my interview, but not you. Of course, what I was thinking didn't work for you. But I realized that you are too dangerous."
Rei looked with her head tilted, unsure of what he meant. Her uncertainty were obvious and Yaga explained. "You can't control your innate technique. Sukuna's innate technique. You have the instinct to use it, but you let your instincts control it. If it goes off here in my school, you will be executed. And if it hurts one of my students." He pointed to the patch on his cheek that she was sure wasn't there before. "I will execute you myself".
Rei gaped at the obvious threat, but backed away as he started to go towards her. MENACINGLY!
"Assure me that you have potential Kurokawa Rei", he said and prepared for punching her. Rei remembers how Itadori blocked an attack with his bag, but instead of stopping the attack, the bag opened and everything Rei had dug for flew out. But it had worked because Yaga had to avoid a box cutter that flew towards his eye.
"Damn it! Who carries around a box cutter!" But he didn't get an answer, Rei was too busy running towards the exit. But there was someone in the way, or something. The green stuffed animal from earlier stood guard at the door. "I have given the words to attack if you try to flee or if I die. There is no alternative, die or succeed. A Jujutsu Sorcerer can't afford to make mistakes."
Rei looked around, unsure of what to do. She can't run away, can't say anything, can't give him what he wants, and she doesn't know how to fight.
But you don't have to be angry. If he dies, you die. And the world is getting better for it. If you succeed, you life can actually be useful, if he dies, the world has not lost anything important.
But he dies, he is the Principal. He must be important.
Not dead. Then he is just as worthless as you. So why not fight back and go out with a fight for once.
Why not? Why not. Why not fight, because I'm weak? But am I supposed to not kill him? Didn't I kill my parents? Am I dangerous? Am I weak? Am I strong? Do I deserve to pass the exam? Do I deserve to see Nee-chan again?
No-
YES
For the first time in her life, she fought back. Her first punch. Her first time feeling her Cursed Energy. The first time she applying Cursed Energy to her attack. The first time she used a Black Flash.
Black lightning covered the room, a week blow that could not have damaged the Principal become an attack that threw him back and slid him across the floor. When he lifted his head, he saw Rei covered in her Cursed Energy. Rei looked around fascinated, the first time able to fully see her own Cursed Energy, to be able to control her Cursed Energy. And there was only one thing she could say about it.
It feels so... Weird and ugly. Just like me.
Yaga Masamichi could only remember Gojo's explanation from earlier. That she had so little control over her Cursed Energy that she could only use it unconsciously. But if she had a little better control, a slightly more advanced understanding of her Cursed Energy. That way she would never be able to activate her innate techniques unconsciously. Using your Cursed Energy is like riding a bike. Once you've learned it once, you'll never forget it.
" Kurokawa... why did you want to become a Jujutsu Sorcerers?"
Rei looked up from her Cursed Energy filled hands and looked at Yaga, then she looked around and grabbed her whiteboard that had come out of her bag earlier. She wrote down her answer and said it.
"To protect Nee-chan".
Rei and Yaga looked at each other for a second before he said. "You... Pass." Then he fell back down on the ground. Rei wondered if he was ok, but before she could do anything, the door opened behind her and a tired woman with brown hair and a white coat looked in.
"Ah, Yaga-sama. Are you still alive?" Ieiri Shoko looked across the room and saw Rei standing like a deer in the spotlight with her whiteboard in her hand. Yaga lazily raised his arm.
"I'm alive. Can you get Satoru to take her out of my hands."
Rei looks across the room. A bed and desk, but it's better than the room she has lived in all her life. She sat the box down on the floor and started unpacking. The scarf can be on the bed, the book goes under the bed, and the pictures can be on the desk. Now it was just the whiteboard, box cutter and folded cardbordbox.
I didn't have much, so everything went into the bag. So I don't need this box... So.
Rei took the box cutter and slowly but smoothly cut into the cardboard. There was resistance, not much, but enough. To cut through the resistance, to make a perfect cut, to divide something perfectly into two smaller pieces. And then more pieces.
"AH! Are you in here!" Itador Yuji opened the door without knocking and scared the life out of her. She let out a quiet scream and moved in front of the small pieces of cardboard.
"Hay Itador. Knock before you open a door, especially to a girl rumt," said a guy with hair that reminded her of Shadow the Hedgehog.
"Come on Fushiguro. That was not my intention"
Fushiguro...? Oh! Fushiguro Megumi, he was the one I hurt! I think? Or was it someone else? I should apologize anyway. But before Rei could do it, Gojo came into her field of vision and started talking.
"Good, you're all here. We're heading out tomorrow! We're gonna go pick up the fourth first-year." He said happily.
Rei looked at him surprised, but hoped that her new classmate is as kind as Itador.
Doesn't matter, you'll probably get them killed only.
Rei looked down at the floor, hoping again that he was nice. Or she, Rei wants another girl around her. A sweet one who wasn't like the bad ones in her former school.
Ah, you didn't think the next chapter wouldn't come, but here it is. I've been thinking about this strory for a while now after chapter one, and decided to write chapter two.
Time to answer some questions you probably have. Rei used Cleave and Dismantle automatic as Gojo's Infinity. But unlike Gojo, she doesn't have the Six Eyes to fix it. As an example, if Yuji is thrown at Rei, she would unwillingly cut him to pieces to defend himself. You can see what the problem is, that and that she can run out of Cursed Energy without meaning to and in a bad place.
And the fact that she managed to make a Black Flash. Like Yuji and Yuta, she has an incredible amount of talent. I mean that Yuta was succeeded to create a Cursed Spirit with endless Cursed Energy when he was what, 6? And Yuji with his Black Flash whenever he wants. Yeah, she is going to be a monster to.
