"The ultimate and strongest jujutsu technique can only be awakened by blood vows"

-Madara's journal

Kyoto, Sunday morning

After having breakfast, Satoru and Kira headed back to Tokyo. Neither spoke a single word to each other. Chiyou could feel a weird tension in the air. She noticed how Master Satoru's face would turn red whenever his eyes met hers.

"Hm…maybe Master was serious about that..that" - her dreamy eyes followed the young couple.

"What a nice peaceful morning" - Kira was extremely pleased that her plan to shut Satoru up worked wonderfully and hoped that this plan would last forever.

_You did not have to do this, but thank you for taking me home.

Satoru still could not utter a single word, just quietly followed her back until she closed the door. She really got under his skin this time.

He could not sleep that night. He kept tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the kiss.

"What the fuck did that mean? She did not look flustered at all today! Arghhh, what is going on with me" - he sat up abruptly and decided - "I need to release this."

It was a bloody night for all curses in Tokyo. Satoru was "releasing" by exorcising all the curses he found or stood in his way. He was on a rampage, which he had never done before. He just needed something to keep him from thinking about her.

By the end of the night, he made up his mind.

_If that is what you want, I will give it to you, Kira-chan.

_Good morning - Satoru's happy face was the first thing she saw after a sleepless night. After returning from Kyoto, the guilt of forgetting her brother was eating her alive.

Seeing her puzzled face, he explained - I'm walking you to school.

_Why? - she closed the door and walked toward him, irritated.

_Caused that's what people do when they are dating.

_Dating? Did you hit your head somewhere? - she grunted, irritated even more.

Satoru motioned to his lips, smirked, and took her hand in his, dragging her along.

_You kissed me, meaning you also like me. So now, I'm your boyfriend - he smiled brightly, acting completely innocent.

_It wa…it was nothing - her plan backfired - we are not dating. Let me go!

_Don't care! - he kept on dragging her. Satoru was the kind of person who believed in actions, not words. Her actions in Kyoto spoke louder than any words coming out of her mouth.

"FUCKKKKK YOU SATORUUUUU" - she screamed inside, not expecting things to turn out this way.

Everyone at school was astonished when they saw both walk side by side, hand in hand. Kira could feel the hatred glares from his fan club, she tried to take her hand back, but he was stronger.

After a few days, she gave up on convincing him that they were not dating. Regardless, dating or not, she had more urgent matters to attend to. Now that she had Satoru, gathering information would be easier. She needed to know where they kept Sukuna's body, where his fingers were, where Kenjaku was, and most importantly, how to freaking break the seal.

She managed to break one, and roughly 25% of her physical strength returned. She would be back to full strength once all tails were released. Madara's journal was helpful. It guided her to some answers. Apparently, Kenjaku was involved in splitting Sukuna's soul and sealing it in 20 fingers.

"That snake~~~ Maybe Tengen would know where Sukuna's fingers are right now, his nose is everywhere" - she thought, then looked at Satoru.

_Oi, let's go hunting.

_Thought you will never ask - he smirked, lowering his sunglasses to look at her, his blue eyes shined brightly with excitement.

Her first year of middle school with Satoru went by quickly and productively. While they were together, both went on all kinds of missions, such as gathering info on some sorcerers from the top clans such as Fushigoro Toji, investigating the Time Vessel Association, looking for the Star Plasma Vessel (a girl named Amanai Riko), Sukuna's fingers, and Uchiha estates that the Gojo's clan protected, and hunting curses to improve their skills.

All was going so well except for one particular issue, how to break the seal. No matter how hard she tried to remember, nothing came to her mind and she blamed her elders again for not leaving any clues in any documents.

"Damn, old man. Why did you forget to record the most important detail." - she tossed and turned in bed - "Father, Mother, if you are watching over me, please help!"

Despite her honest prayer, no one showed up that night in her dream.

The next morning, she woke up with an idea: "I need to die to see them again."

_What the fuck do you want to do? - he contained himself from screaming.

_I need to find a special-grade curse - she said calmly.

_No no before that - he waved his hand, signaling her to go back further.

_Um… - she scratched her neck, knowing how crazy she sounded - I need to die to see Mada…

_Stop right there - he shook his head, his mind was about to explode because of this girl - are you out of your fucking mind?

_That's the only way, I have no clue where else to look for that information. You tried to ask your elders and we searched everything. Tell me you have a better plan!

_Any plan is better than your stupid idea - he tried to contain his anger and from killing people - And what makes you think dying can make you see him again?

_Last time, the Kyoto field trip, when I was looking for the cursed object in the Uchiha ruin, a curse attacked me and I was dying - she recalled the story - and I saw him.

_It does not mean it will happen again. - he tried to convince her, grabbing her shoulders.

_But I have to try, I need to see him again, Satoru - her voice filled with determination.

The argument went on for a week until Satoru gave in, he tossed his hands in the air and told her to wait until he got into Jujutsu Tech High School, then his missions would involve a special-grade curse and he would take her along.

_Wait, you are going to Jujutsu Tech High School next year?

_What? - he smirked - miss me already?

_No - she said without blinking. He could feel his heart breaking apart.

_You have to say that you will miss me a lot - he smirked, closing the gap between their body - or I won't take you on missions with me.

She rolled her eyes, pouted, and then said mockingly.

_Fine, I will miss you, Satoru-sama.

_Louder! - he said happily, making her angry was among the best thing to do.

"Wait until I have the strength to kill you, that's my promise to you" - her fist tightened.

_I WILL MISS YOU, SATORU-SAMA - she yelled loudly after putting her pride aside.

"Mission, mission, mission first, I will kill him later" - her inner self-thoughts

_You should not play with fire, princess - he grabbed her chin and closed the gap between their lips - I will miss you too, Kira-sama.
