The girl from Satoru team had already left the volleyball court. There was no way she would stay after witnessing what was going on. Each strike, each return was pure power. These two were definitely not human. They were on a completely different level.

They were aiming at each other, and murder intent filled the air. Tanaka was thinking about how to call this game off to ensure the safety of the rest of the students. He knew that Gojo Satoru was considered one of the best jujutsu sorcerers even at his age. He was currently the strongest sorcerer of the Gojo clan, who possessed not only the legendary Six Eyes but also the Limitless technique. He never thought that there would be another child who could stand at Satoru's level under his watch. A child from a nameless family. Uzumaki, he never heard of them, he definitely never heard of them.

*Uzumaki was the last name of Kikyo, who passed it down to Kira when she passed.

Contrary to people's thoughts that they were killing each other on the court, both Satoru and Kira were having a blast. They had never gone all out like this physically without curse energy. Back in her previous life, Kira often trained with the Six Eyes kid, but it was mostly with cursed power. That's why she always won. The Six Eyes and Limitless could never stand against the Eyes of Death and Soul. But physical strength, that's a different story. Thinking back, the Six Eyes kid might, and it's a big "might", beat her on strength alone.

The game ended after 15 minutes.

_It's a tie - Tanaka announced with his whistle - I decided to give you both a free lunch.

_Sensei,… lunch…lunch…is always free - Satoru said, lying on the ground. His breathing was intermittent.

Kira crouched down, and placed her hands on both knees, catching her breath. "Dang, where was all that energy from?" - She was puzzled by her strength. She remembered feeling like a gate was open right before the volleyball match when she got angry at Satoru for hitting the ball right into Hide's face. She looked at him, contemplating again.

"Maybe he can help, maybe he will understand" - a thought ran through her mind.

They were similar in many ways: Both were descendants of prominent clans, both inherited the ultimate power of their clan, and both wore many facades to fit in with the rest of society.

No, this was her burden, she could not share it with someone else. She could not drag someone down to hell with her. This was her path and her path alone. Just like in her past life, only she could defeat Sukuna, only she had to die. She had to succeed this time. She could not let more innocent people die because of her failure. She already made her parents and her clan suffered as a consequence of her failure.

Kira left the volleyball court, she needed time to cool down.

_Where are you going? - Satoru caught her arm. His face was puzzled.

_Hm…let's see. None of your business.

_I saw the look on your face, are you going to do something stupid? - He insisted, did not let her go.

_Oh please, who do you think I am? I don't need a babysitter - Kira tried to free her arm but she was completely drained.

Satoru contemplated whether he should give a shit or not. Then he released her.

_Let's go to lunch - He smiled genuinely - I will pay.

_Lunch is free, dumbass - she wiped the sweat from her forehead before it got into her eyes.

_Exactly - Satoru winked and headed to the cafeteria. His fan club followed - Hurry!

Rolling her eyes and hesitating for a minute, she decided to take his offer. Maybe she could gather information from him.

_Satoru, I need to change. I will be there in 15 minutes. - she yelled after him and he gave her a thumbs up.

Kira headed to the classroom to get her daily uniform, then straight to the shower for a quick wash. As she started stripping her clothes, a group of girls came in.

_You dare speak to Gojo-sama without any respect? - the girl at the front started, crossing her arms arrogantly. Her minions in the back followed.

Kira closed her eyes, wondering how many more times today she would have to hear Gojo name. She continued taking off her clothes and turning on the shower, ignoring the girl group.

_Are you ignoring us?

"Obviously" - She thought, carefully washing her body and removing any dirt left from the volleyball court.

One of the girls slowly approached her and grabbed Kira by the hair. Before everyone could register what happened, the girl insulting Kira was on the ground. Kira was on top of her, one hand squeezed her throat. Her eyes glowed red.

_Listen one and for all, I don't give a crap about your Gojo-sama. You can have him all you want. If you kids are smart, you stay away from him. He is an egocentric bastard that will care about nothing but himself. That's my advice, take it or leave it. But if you are planning on coming after me again, I will kill every single one of you - she glared at the group and then the girl underneath her before releasing her grip and returning to the shower.

By the time Kira was done showering, the room was completely empty. She put on her uniform and headed toward the cafeteria.

_Here! - Satoru waved as Kira approached with her lunch tray - You showered?

_I'm not an animal like you. I like to maintain my hygiene - she casually started eating after spatting at Satoru.

_Aren't you a bit too harsh toward me?

_With you, I need to be harsh before you can walk all over me.

_Hahahahahaha - Satoru laughed out loud - I don't like girls who are soft anyways.

_Tell that to your fan club, but not sure if it helps - she started eating her food and, surprisingly, he let her eat in peace.

Thinking about it, she had never sat down this peacefully next to Satoru. In a few recent encounters, either Satoru would piss her off to the point where she would need to use all of her grace to not punch him in the face, or she would just want to punch him in the face from the beginning. It would be nice to be on good terms with Satoru to gather information, in the end, he was the only jujutsu sorcerer she knew on a personal level.

After finishing her lunch, she thought hard about what she should ask him. Inquiring about Sukuna might be too suspicious - By the way, how strong are you as a jujutsu sorcerer?

_Eh? - his brows raised, surprised at the question - I'm a Grade 1 sorcerer.

_Grade 1?

_Grade 1 is…hm…let's see how best to explain it to you - he put a piece of meat in his mouth and chewed slowly, then snapped his fingers - I know how to. We are going on a date.

_Huh? - her jaw dropped, his fan club screamed in the background, Satoru smirked in satisfaction - "Mother, father, help me before I kill this motherfucker."

_This is your idea of a date?

_Yep!

_A graveyard?

_Yep! - he took off his sunglasses - It will make more sense if you wear those glasses in your pocket.

_But I don't have curse energy - she knew Satoru probably figured out something already so she complied. She took the glasses out, put them on, and was not surprised to see the graveyard filled with curses.

_You are….Uchiha right? - Satoru tone was soft, his eyes focused on the graveyard in front, did not look at her - Uchiha Kira.

Everything went silent.
