This chapter is a little shorter than usual but I'm hoping since it's the second chapter in the week you guy will let me slide. I would've written more but I like the ending so.

Let me know if you guys think I should translate what Inumaki is saying. He won't always use safewords but I think it's important to his character and easily understandable in this situation. Enjoy!!

Chapter Four:

"Do I look stupid to you?"

"Salmon"

"..."

"Bonito flakes?"

"Where are we going anyway"

"Fish flakes"

"I'm not a fan of surprises." [Name] responded. A comedic silence fell as [Name] and Inumaki just started each other. One of them was bound to give in and if anything it was NOT going to be [Name] who possessed the second strongest cursed technique in the world, as well as being a Special Grade sorcerer at the ripe age of 17. Definitely not. It wasn't as if Toge was his weak spot or anything.

"I better not regret this"

"Fish flakes"

As much as Inumaki loved being friends with [Name], the other sorcerer was at the end of the day extremely dramatic. It had to have been something he picked up from Gojo over the years. The two were frighteningly alike, both of them had this tendency to pretend they were happier than they actually were while hiding some extremely dark behaviors. And like Gojo [Name]'s power was both feared and not completely known.

Somehow the two were hiding a more complex aspect of [Name]'s power. Why, Inumaki was unsure. [Name] is the type of person to carry a ton of secrets while keeping almost nothing important about himself hidden. Upfront, but unknown. And if his ultimate cursed technique is a secret kept from everyone but Gojo, then it's final. No amount of begging or blackmail would do any good. Though it doesn't mean Inumaki doesn't wish [Name] felt comfortable enough with him to share.

"Are you just gonna stand there looking off in the distance or are we gonna go"

Toge torn from his thoughts looked at [Name] for a second, curious and contemplative before turning around and walking off

"I guess that answers that question.[Name] said out loud to himself "Is he really leaving me? That fucker"



[Name] saw Gojo before any of the first years. Which was unfortunate because not only was he curious about the new first year (and would probably never admit it) it meant that the first person he'd see after spending the day out with Inumaki would be a cocky white haired idiot. Gojo treated [Name] like a younger brother and if you've ever had a sibling you'd know siblings make it a personal mission to tease, abuse and humiliate you. Out of pure love of course.

"So how was the date?" Gojo teased

"Fine. Nobody died" The two of them stared each other down. [Name] with challenging eyes and a straight face and Gojo with a smirk on his face

"Oh [Name] senpai you're back" Fushiguro announced, the sound catching the attention of Nobara and Yuji who'd been arguing over whether or not girls would actually like Yuji once they got to know how dumb he was.

"How was your date?" Yuji asked excitedly

'I'm being interrogated before I even get into the dorms, AND in front of a first year girl I don't know'

"If you call going to defeat a second grade tormenting some people in the city a date, it went well. No casualties. My partner was fine and didn't need my help but of course like the amazing friend I am I stepped in to help finish the job" [Name] answered

"Big deal. You showed off in front of some girl and then swooped in when the job was almost done to steal the credit. Why should I respect you as my upperclassman" Nobara huffed while striking some sort of... wonder woman pose and staring [Name] down

'I like the energy but also why is she coming for me at first sight?'

"Did you miss the part where I helped defeat a second grade with no problem? It wasn't to show off or to brag. Who would I be trying to impress? Megumi and Yuji? And who said it was a girl?"

Nobara was caught off guard with the last response. Not only did he return the energy she gave him, but she failed to recognize a member of the alphabet mafia (LGBTQ+ community). Actually, now that she's thinking about it, she was a little too comfortable around Megumi, Yuji, AND Gojo for them all to be straight. Gojo did give her weird vibes but not the creepy stalker weirdo kind

"So... You fight monsters with your boyfriend then?"

"He's not my boyfriend. But I mean yeah it's like a best friend tag team kind of thing. You'll get used to it around here."

"They already kind of did" Gojo chimed in

"Yeah, I saved the kid while Kugisaki nailed the cursed spirit with her straw doll thingy" Yuji started.

'Straw doll thing?'

"Of course I did more of the work, but we wouldn't have been able to save the day without her"

Nobara pretended to not be flattered by the compliment as [Name] tried to hold back his laugh and not howl at her pleased face. He failed. Yuji and Megumi began to giggle too. Gojo was amused by their dynamic, looking at the first years and smiling. Happy they were getting along with their upperclassman. It was really nice to see [Name] have friends too, if he only had Toge it would hurt that much worse if the cursed speech user was ripped away from him. He knew from first experience, and as a jujutsu sorcerer, there weren't many moments of happiness in their future.

Report: July 2018

In west Tokyo City, at the Eishu Juvenile Detention Center

The sky above the exercise yard

"Hey what's that?"

"What?"
"There! That egg thing!"

"Whatchu talkin about?!"

An Unnamed Apparition of Potential Special Grade was witnessed by multiple non-jujutsu sorcerers. Since it was deemed an Emergency, three first year students were sent to the scene. Of those students, one died.

It was discovered that a special grade sorcerer showed up just before the worst of the situation but could not save all three students. In his grief the entire facility was destroyed.
