A slice of life chap
(Todo's POV)
23rd September, 2012
Its my birthday today....I wonder if Yuki remembered it....
I was currently in a random hotel in Japan. I didn't really keep track of where we were going since we were currently shifting places more than 3 times a day....I wonder why she was in such a rush....
Anyway, I got up from my bed and went to brush my teeth. My teeth were whiter than most in this part of Japan.....I wonder if I was a hygiene freak....even though that has no correlation with what I just thought....
I'm crazy. I know it and I love it. The most likely reason is the void I was in before coming here. Loneliness for a long time, can make anyone crazy after all....
After brushing my teeth for 5 whole minutes, I go and take a bath in a tub. I clap around a few utensils here and there, switching their places just for some sort of random fun.
After that, I wear my clothes, which consisted of the colors, black and a very dark blue. It looked like the jujutsu high outfit, but was better than that. I simply shrug at the thoughts and go down towards the reception, hoping to find Yuki there.
I mean I knew she wasn't there because of my high sensitivity to cursed energy, but I still went there, for no reason.
"Receptionist san, do you know where my teacher, Yuki, is?" I ask the pretty little receptionist at the entry part of the small hotel.
"Todo kun!" She seemed surprised for a second there.
"I had seen her go outside, but I don't know where she went...Sorry todo kun...." She seemed as if she was about to cry for a second there....who the heck put a crybaby as a receptionist here....
"Ah, it's fine receptionist san....I'll just look for her." I sigh as I wave to her and then get out of the hotel.
I couldn't sense her in my sensing range, which was about 1.3 km. I could sense different objects at different ranges, depending on their cursed energy, and for Yuki, the maximum for her was when she is about 1.3 to 1.4 km away from me.....and just like I said, I couldn't sense her right now.
I decided to stroll down the streets, just because I could and relax....Constant training does go pretty hard on both the body and mind after all....
I walk down the road while looking at the pedestrians along the way.
Some were rushing to their respective jobs, some were chatting, some were going to schools....
It was 7:30 in the morning after all.
The cold morning breeze against my skin was quite refreshing as well. I've officially turned 12 years old huh.....time does fly quite quickly.
Less than 3 years left till my enrollment in Jujutsu High....and 6 years before the sukuna shit starts.
I wonder if I should take the easy way out and destroy the plot at the start itself....Like, killing Yuji after making him eat 7 to 8 fingers....
I mean, I wouldn't need to do much if Sukuna was THAT weakened. Our Gojo himself would be able to take care of him....
But that's something I'll have to look out for. If I don't become strong enough to actually matter against Sukuna, I'll kill him before Shibuya ark even starts. I don't care about one guy if I'm able to save thousands of people....
I don't think disaster curses would be much trouble though. And this isn't just my arrogance speaking. I'm confident in defeating them all after training hard for 6 more years.
It would be great if no one dies and everything gets resolved quickly, but that's just a pipe dream. Nothing is easy in reality after all.
Like how I'm all alone on my own damn Birthday, with no signs of Yuki anywhere.
Why am I seeking her? Well, she is the only one who currently cares if I lived or die, and she also spoils me a bit on special days like these....
.
I continue walking down the road, and I witness a few children fighting over some dumb thing.
"Shizu is mine! She said she likes me!" Boy1 says.
"She said she liked the food your mom made, not you! She loves me!" Boy2 replied.
I simply walk towards that place and sit down on a patch of grass as I watch the drama unfold.
"Let's ask her then!" Boy1 shouts. He then dials a number and video calls her.
"...."Boy2 remains silent as he quietly watches on.
"Shizu chan~ Do you like me or this dumbo here?" He asks in a sweet voice, a stark contrast from his rough one, which almost makes me choke.
"...." The girl on the call just cuts off the call, without saying anything. This made me laugh a bit....hah, good comedy.
The two boys seamed to have heard me laugh and became red like tomatoes due to embarrassment and ran away.
The guys were barely in high school....sigh..."Young love~ How romantic~"
I heard a voice from my left side, and when I turned, my gaze met Yuki's who was smirking.
Due to my cheat like CE sensing, I knew she had been sitting here from when the guy called his crush. I seriously commend him though, the amount of guts required to call a crush of yours was simply incomprehensible.
"Where were you, Yuki sensei?" I ask her as I look in her eyes, without much filter. I mean, why to be polite to a person who doesn't give shit about it anyways?
"Eh, I just thought of bringing a small gift for my precious student here~" She says in her usual teasing voice.
"It's his Birthday after all~ Happy Birthday, kid~" She laughs as she hand me a watch.
"....Thanks, Yuki sensei" I say with clear emotion as I wear the watch on my wrist....it looked quite good on me. I guess she spent quite a fortune on it....
"It's extra durable, so it won't break easily. Take good care of it, will ya?" She says as nonchalantly as always as she gets up and picks me up and places me on her shoulder. Then, she starts running, while her shikigami, Garuda, flew in circles above me....
Swapping places with things was fun, but enjoying a special Yuki ride, was better. I could feel warmth generate in my chest at these simple yet, lovely moments among the various crude ones....
I'll kill kenjaku for her.....No, I'll torture that brain to the extreme.....But for now, I'll just enjoy this ride.
"Thank you for being there for me, Yuki san...." My whisper goes unheard, even by the heavens as the time continues to pass....

If it wasn't clear, it was my birthday as well. (18th Oct) So I made this chap. I wanted to do it yesterday itself, but I got busy in doing other things,
Oh well, this was a reprieve from all the fights and training for our young Todo. Anyway, Good for him.
If it isn't clear, Todo clearly cares about Yuki a lot....she is literally the only one he had spent more than half his life with after all....Like an older sister, if you will.
Anyway, do comment whatever inconsistencies and other questions you may come across, I'll solve them all....
Comment random things too, just for the sake of it, since I actually like to read the comments. Anyway, enjoy your days.
