Fushiguro seemed to be training even harder than before In order to master domain expansion especially after learning that I had already learned it at such a young age.
But on this particular day I was in fact spending time with Kiyoko who after a thorough examination by the doctors has a possibility of walking once more.
"you look particularly happy" she took notice off as I explained the subject at hand. I smiled back. "well you're finally gonna be walking again after all" I said as I continued looking through all the school work she had done.
"so... Hey... I've been thinking..." she twiddiled her thumbs while avoiding eye contact. "what is it?" I asked my attention now on her. "wanna you know..." she trailed off looking at me expectantly.
"you're doing that thing again." I quickly said. She was avoiding eye contact like she did when we first met. She huffed in annoyance at the fact I hadn't understood what she meant.
"wanna go out with me" she said her face became flustered as she quickly covered her face. "you wanna hang out"? I asked quite confused at what she was saying.
"nooooo" she yelled out loud ripping the pillow from her face.
"I like you as more than a friend... So go out with me" she stated yelling in my face.
"oh" I said stopping myself to think as to what she had said. "and before you say you have to keep you're work private I already know about you're powers and you hunt monsters and stuff so don't worry" she blurted out visible red on her face.
She looked at me awaiting my answer.
"I'm... Not sure we should." I responded quickly, I diverted my gaze away from her not able to look her in the eye.
She was attractive that much was true but... I wasn't someone she should be with and it was better for it to be this way.
I'd known about her crush on me for quite a while but I never wanted things to advance from the friendship we had, after all mentally I was a lot older than she was.

Gojo pulled out my uniform for jujutsu tech.
"should I move up in ranks" I suddenly suggested. "no" Gojo immediately said killing any hopes of going any higher when it came to ranks. "while it may be beneficial you'll be hunted, I haven't told a single person about you're six eyes and I hope you've been keeping it a secret" Gojo said his usual calm demeanour was nowhere insight as his eyes remained focused as though to spot any lie that same from me.
"no I haven't" I quickly reassured him. His over protectiveness of me was something that while I found annoying I did appreciate. "so did you enjoy time with you're girlfriend~" Gojo said changing the subject smiling slyly.
"she confessed" I said as I looked through our messages. Gojo stopped dead in his tracks looking to me. "what was your response!?" he asked his eyes filled with excitement. "I said no"
Gojo sighed, his excitement dwindling with each passing nanosecond. "you are one weird kid" his eyes softened as he took notice of my expression which I imagine wasn't one too good as he began ruffling my hair.
"it's alright though, are you worried you destroyed your relationship with her?" Gojo inquired, I nodded. "she's been with you all this time she may have cried when it all happened but give her time and space and she'll forgive you"
"by the way who else will be attending Jujutsu High?" I asked my eyes turned away from my phone now landing on Gojo. "well for the first years it's gonna be you and Megumi" Gojo said humming to himself quickly readjusting himself back to his normal personality.
"but some country girl wants to join as well so..." Gojo trailed off looking at me. "3 first years" I said to myself despite already knowing the answer. Truth be told I didn't know anything past the anime and knew nothing of how dangerous things would get in the manga.
"well at least Megumis pretty calm" I said sighing. "you killed that special grade spirit correct?" he asked looking over at me his usual blind fold was never on when we were at home. "yea what about it" I respond to which Gojo puts his hands to his chin.
"special grades our unique creatures that don't just spawn out of thin air, the fact you've encountered one on your first mission without my guidance confirms that someone is in fact after...can you think of anything?" Gojo questioned his gaze not leaving mine. I know that my eyes were just the same as his but it still felt like he was staring into the depths of my soul when he looked at me. "no there wasnt anyone around... But!" I quickly stated.
"it happened again someone seems to know how to get cursed spirits passed my danger sense." I explained to the man. He began to chew down on his thumb thinking hard to who mightve been the one to do such things.
"chances are that next year you're powers will manifest considering how long ago you unlocked the 'six eyes'" Gojo explained. "dang so more training then" I said outloud.
"you can implement limitless with spacial control as well" Gojo reminded. "you'll be more versatile that way" the man suggested as he took a seat.
"but right now what we should be more focused on is who exactly is sending cursed spirits after you" Gojo said getting straight to the point. "what about the influx of cursed energy it released after dying" I reminded quickly.
"ah that! wise choice calling me first and thanks to Megumis loyalty he seems to be keeping it a secret that you killed the special grade yourself" Gojo said quickly getting off topic. "is it really that important to hide it" I said looking over to Gojo it was getting quite annoying having to hide myself from others.
"the zenin clan as it turns out hates us Gojos our clan heads killed one another, if I recall the problem with you is that if you're like me you'll be deemed a threat just like I am and you're not ready. Yet." Gojo explained reminding me once more. The history between the 3 major clans was a rough one and to this day they still couldn't overcome their differences.
Gojo despite being the deterrent to curses completely taking over was always pressured by the zenin clan leader. He didn't want me to see that side of things.
"sukunas fingers in containment but more importantly is you keeping you're strenght a secret... For now" Gojo suggested his light blue eyes meeting mine as he flicked my forehead.
"no need to be so deep in thought" he said breaking me out of the theories that had come up in my head. "I'll make sure everything goes alright" he said with a bright smile.
"ill be visiting jujutsu tech today right" I asked looking up at Gojo. "yea but to be honest... You should probably get ready were already late" Gojo finally revealed and as he said so my eyes twitched in annoyance.
"tell shit like this to me earlier!" I yelled loudly rushing up to my room to change.
"jeez your calm one minute acting like a wild animal the next."

We arrived on campus just barely behind Megumi who was just as late as us. His hand in pockets and his bag thrown over his back one arm holding it as he walked in through the school gates.
"Fushiguro!" I yelled calling out to the edgy boy. He quickly took notice of Gojo who stood right behind me.
"Akito are you sure everyone's gonna wanna use your first name?" he asks looking over at me. "well they can't call me Gojo now can they" I replied with a smile.
He sneezed quickly wiping his nose with the paper towel he had inside his bag. "you caught a cold?" I asked. "yea" was all that I got as a response.
We made our way accompanied by Gojo to a temple like building much like seen on the anime it was were they were too test our resolve.
Fushiguro quickly went in despite his nerves and I followed in after.
The room was lit only with candles and no signs of any modernised lights seemed to show up in my peripheral vision. "so our these thr new first years" Masamichi or the principal of jujutsu tech stated sitting in a pile of the dolls he seemed to be working on.
He stood up as did his dolls.
"what is you're reason for becoming a jujutsu sorcerer?"
