The morning sunlight filtered softly through the curtain of the house, gently making its way toward Keitaro's face.
As the sunlight managed to touch the young boy's face, Keitaro slowly opened his eyes.
He slept pretty well, he could feel something on his chest, lowering his gaze to check what it was, he couldn't help but notice Shoko peacefully resting on his chest.
She seemed to be having a decent time, she looked quite peaceful, and Keitaro's expression softened a bit upon looking at her.
The event of the night prior played in his mind, her lips, the intimacy that they had shared, the tenderness of it all.
He remembers it all.
He couldn't help but blush a bit upon seeing her, she was way too.....Wow, his brain truly had melted.
However, he needed to take care of his body's daily needs, like food and drinks.
He slowly removed himself from underneath her, he did not want to wake her up.
As he walked toward the kitchen his hand touched his neck, and he felt a strange mark there.
Upon closer inspection, it was a bit marked.
For someone who looked tired all the time, she sure did leave a mark.
He threw on some clothes and made his way toward the Kitchen.
He was just going to make some breakfast.
Upon reaching the Kitchen he started cooking up something nice, something different.
His hand moved with careful precision, the movement of his hand was so fast that it left behind after images.
As he picked the ingredients, he made sure to smell them, that was just something he had picked up from his grandma.
He would feel around for the natural energy in the fruit and if it was below average it meant the fruit was going bad.
As he started cooking, what seemed to be the ghost of an elderly woman could be seen guiding him, her movement and his move in synch.
Eggs, Toast, fruit, and a few other dishes were set neatly on the table.
He may have done it unconsciously but he had added a dose of natural energy into the food.
A few minutes later, a Shoko who had clearly just woken up from sleep could be seen entering the Kitchen.
She was seen wearing an oversized shirt and practically nothing else, probably her panty and bra underneath but nothing more.
Was she smoking this early in the morning?
"Good morning," Keitaro said as he noticed her entering the Kitchen.
"What time is it?" She asked lazily, she felt pretty sleepy but at the same time, she felt like she was full of energy.
Keitaro took a quick look at the clock before saying.
"10:00 Am"
Shoko nodded her head before she walked toward where the food was.
"I just made it, hope you like it," Keitaro said gently.
She nodded her head once again before she sat down at the table, She took out the chopstick she took a bite out of the food.
As soon as she bit into the food she felt it, the food tasted the same as that food from all those years ago.
The food that he had come into the school with, the food that Keitaro had brought to the classroom the first day he came to jujutsu high.
The food tasted the same, it filled her body with so much energy.
She could practically feel her lungs being healed...she was not using Rct, it felt natural.
"It's...good..!" She exclaimed as Keitaro watched in awe as she just devoured the food.
He blinked once and the food was gone....
How?!
The last time he checked she was on the petite side so how was she able to slurp down everything in the time it took him to blink, that didnt make any sense.
"You made this?"
"Yeah...!"
"Self-taught or.."
"Learned from my grandma, that the way she used to make it"
"What did you add to the food, it feels like you"
"Explain..."
"It felt like nature like I was being boosted with energy...What is the ingredient"
"Family secrets"
"Don't be stingy"
He just smiled at her.
She sighs before saying.
"If this is what your grandma used to feed it ever since you were a child, that would explain why you feel like nature...."
As those words left her mouth it clicked in his mind.
He had been fed this ever since he could eat, it was almost as if he was being given a resistance to it, normal people when they used too much natural energy just turned to stone.
However, for him, his body just seemed to absorb it, as if it was accustomed to it.
All of this could not be attributed to him being Minato's reincarnation, maybe some of Minato's traits pass over but the resistance is just not something you are born with.
Was his grandma preparing him for something, he had always been way above average as an average teen.
Being nimble enough not to make any noise, the barrier did not even seem to have noticed him.
The only reason he had gotten caught was because of Gojo's six eyes and even then it took Satoru a bit before noticing his presence...almost as if his presence was being masked.
Thinking about it now, he had just eaten his grandma's food when he was investigating, and the time Gojo noticed him, kind of landed exactly at the time it took food to be fully digested by the stomach...
What purpose would his grandma have to mask his presence.....from what she had told him, his parents died in a car crash but after speaking to her ghost he now realized that they were murdered.
Specifically his dad....his name was Kaito Namikaze, and his mom just got caught in the crossfire.....it then clicked in his mind.
His house was quite literally the closest one could get to Jujutsu High and the Jujutsu world headquarters, if an attack were to happen at their house, jujutsu sorcerer would be there faster than any other place in Japan.

...
.....
Who was he being hidden from?
A/N.....I am sure no one at this point ever questioned why, Geto barrier didnt seem to have noticed how Keitaro got in...or the fact that Gojo suggested killing first and did not consider Keitaro a civilian...someone who could hide from his six eyes must be be be have been anything but a civilian.
Someone who could bypass the curtain without alarming them...someone able to climb a 2 story-tall building and hide without making a single sound is not civilian activity.
Plus there is the necklace.
I adore the fact that no one seems to have noticed that back when they were still in jujutsu high and Keitaro pranked Gojo by going in his room no one mentioned or even noticed how someone with the six could feel space-warping or the fact that someone curse energy was in his room.
Ever since the first chapter I have been laying crumbs, I am surprised no one got close.
Also yes, I know I said, the dad died to it, but tell me why would he go to such lengths when he knew overusing it meant death, what could possibly make him risk his life and his wife's life in such a gamble...
I feel like it clicks for some people...
Don't know if anyone questioned it but, someone is supposed to be aware of the curse technique....so time for y'all to figure out why Keitaro was unaware of his curse technique?
