(Todo's POV)
A few days had passed by. Me, Momo and Noritoshi had finally learned to sync our attacks a bit, by training together.
Honestly, I'd rather be alone when facing opponents cuz I'm literally leagues better than these dumbasses.
And by sync, I mean that they've somewhat adapted to my Boogie Woogie and won't freeze up when I use it on them. Now, no matter how much some random bitch tries to dodge our attacks, I'd literally just swap it in front of it. To be able to 'dodge' that, they'd at least need enough capability to dodge fast moving things, like bullets, at point blank. And, if I want, I could even make the two dodge any attacks they might face....not the ones in domains though.
Theoretically, I could even hurt Gojo by doing this, even with infinity on, but I'd need some practical experience to confirm it.
Sometime around afternoon, when all three of us were training our physical body, Utahime's voice echoed from behind us.
Momo was against physical training. Her argument was that 'Cute and beautiful girls like her shouldn't have to exert their body too much'.....I figuratively and literally had to slap some sense into her after that.
I mean, the heck would beauty standards do on the battlefield when you're bleeding out due to some random stray attack from a Cursed spirit or maybe even a sorcerer?
She did stop talking to me for a few days, but a few more 'talks' later, she begrudgingly agreed to train.
Honestly, I would've left her on her own if she didn't get her shit together. The only reason I tried so hard was cuz she was my teammate and I don't want a sad backstory like most of jujutsu kaisen teams....
And right now, she was actually focused on the workout.....good for her.
Anyway, my face turned towards Utahime, the moment her voice reached me. My thoughts run quicker than the speed of the goddamned sound hm.....nah, they're probably faster than that.
"You all have been assigned to exorcise a grade 2 cursed spirit by tonight. Your ride is already waiting for you at the gates. Be careful with it and.....Good luck." Her words were calm, collected and stoic with a tint of care.....huh, she is like a secretary from some strict office, who is inherently a tsundere....
Hehe, tsundere sensei.....I know I shouldn't tease her, but I'm feeling quite jittery today...
"Yare Yare, they really did give us a difficult task just cuz I'm OP huh.....sigh~ It's hard being so strong~" They actually did up the difficulty due to my Grade 1 status as a Jujutsu sorcerer, so what I said was quite true....and annoying to hear, for her.
"....Just go and exorcise the cursed spirit, otherwise I'll have to abide by the rules of..."
Before she could complete her sentence, I swapped me and my whole team inside the car that was supposed to take us to the curse infested site. Even without my senses, I practically KNEW that there was a tick mark present on her forehead by now....heh.
"Did you really have to tease her like that?" Momo asks in her annoying voice.
"Well, I feel like it's quite our duty to do that..." I chuckle as I continue, "Besides, I did tell the truth, didn't I?"
Noritoshi and Momo just sigh exasperatedly as the car starts moving to our destination....
[a few minutes later]
I could see the surroundings blur due to the quick motion of the vehicle I was on. Normally I would be able see things clearly, but right now I deliberately dumbed down my brain to do this, just to stave off boredom....
"So, How are we doing this?" Noritoshi asks with his eyes closed, just like an asian dude.
"You and Momo should take care of it. I'll interfere if things go awry." I say with a bored tone.
He nods as Momo looks at me with an exasperated look. If someone didn't know, they'd think I stole her sister's virginity or something....not like she has a sister to begin with.
"Why do you get to laze around while we do all the work!?" She practically screams in my ear.
"Cuz I'm stronger than both of you....and it'd be quite boring if things ended in a flash, wouldn't it?" I say, as bored as ever.
That shuts her up. I think I just reminded her of the first time we all battled.....Things did end in a flash at that time, didn't they....heh.
"Driver san, can you put some music to hype us up?" I say to the driver, cuz I was getting pretty bored....and music is a thing that cheers me up.
.....I remember that on my 9th birthday, when I was whining about boredom and how she never got me any proper Gifts, to Yuki, she brought me a MP3 player from a old traditional store....I really really cherished that gift....I probably listened to it everyday after that, but it broke after 4 hard years....in fact, it broke during battle, which saddened me quite a bit....
I remember how much I cried that day....those manly tears still remind me of my humanity, despite the monster I might have become now....I'm being too edgy here....
Man, I miss Yuki so much....I'll visit her after this. I don't care if she's all the way on the other side of this fucked up world...I WILL visit her...
I just love her so much....
*CRRRAAAASSSHHHHHHH*
A truck suddenly crashes into our car, completely crushing the front side of our car and sending it flying back.
My heart raced as my head spun. I, in a few moments of vulnerability and boredom, was trying to enjoy my dumb little moments in this car, and due to me dumbing down my brain to normal human levels, just to look at some blurry scenery, failed to register the crash before it happened.
I, for some forgone reason of relaxing, had turned of my CE sensing as well.....I didn't think this would happen....fucckkk.....
Mid air, I swapped the four of us in the car with some free air, just outside the side walk. The world spinned in front of my eyes as I tried to look at the people I had grown quite fond of. Noritoshi and Momo were bleeding heavily, alongside with some broken part of car stuck to their frail bodies....They were in a daze, most likely feeling a dulled sense of pain due to adrenaline.....As for the driver....
The driver was completely crushed into a disgusting horror of meatpaste. The scene was too graphic for me to even register properly....
....I knew the condition of the driver before I swapped him alongside us, but I didn't want to believe that I caused a death due to a careless mistake I made for a shitty reason such as boredom....
As for me, I had a few pieces of glass stuck on the outer layer of my muscles, there was a piece of glass embedded just below my eye and it hurt like hell.
The sheer adrenaline and panic of this moments was inconceivable to me....I was shaking badly as I tried to pluck off pieces of the glass off of me. I did succeed in that, but due to my trembling hands, I mistakenly slashed a bit of my eye....it HURT.....ughh....
I then focused on my teammates. I quickly removed the pieces from their bodies, not caring if their condition worsened because I'll heal them....right?.....I then stumbled a bit further from them.
After inhaling and exhaling a few heavy breaths, I spun my cursed energy together to form Positive energy. I didn't care anymore, I used all of the CE to make the PE.
And then with a forward punch, which connected to Momo's cute little face, which was badly cut up right now, I...didn't trigger the White Flash. In better words, I failed at it.....and due to the sheer force of that punch, Her skull gave a squelching sound and caved in a bit.....I thought....I thought I had become perfect at triggering these things....Her grunts of pain almost broke my spirit....even noritoshi, with his one eye opened, was tearing up, his face scrunched up in a haze of pain and despair....
She was going to die if I didn't succeed in the White Flash by the next try.....Damn it....
"COME THE FUCK ONNNN!!!" I shouted with all the little strength I had, in desperation, as I punched her face again, this time, with desperate focus that I managed to muster in this shitty situation.
I wasn't calm in this situation, not at all. I didn't have full control, I wasn't a god, I wasn't someone worth looking up to. My thoughts were disgusting most of the time, I shouldn't even be in Todo's body, I shouldn't even be alive right now, I shouldn't....
I could make up hundreds of excuses, but in the end, the first and foremost thing I wanted was....
To see every single one of my friends, family, and the people I goddamn care about, to live....even the people I've not yet met, I don't want any of them to die....I was a huge wuss in my heart, I was a pathetic coward....but I don't.....I don't want them to die.....I didn't want to die too.....
The punch I did just now, it would've ripped off her head, probably.....If it wasn't for the whitish light that burst off from the place where that punch connected, enveloping the whole area. It didn't just stop at the crash site, it literally enveloped the whole damned city, and maybe even further.....this was the sheer amount of Positive energy I could generate, and even with this, I almost got us killed....I'm still shit at these things, huh?....
Why is it raining on such a clear day?.....the droplets kept on falling even when there were no clouds in the sky.....huh.....
It's funny how just a few consecutive unfortunate events could lead to a catastrophe....that's how Gojo died, now that I think about it....carelessness...at least my dark backstory was prevented....
"...Thank god....." I whispered as I lost my consciousness. I don't know why I even thanked God when I was the.....whatever, it doesn't matter.....
Even though my Cursed energy reserves were brimming to the top once again, the stun caused by the Maximum White Flash I just unleashed, and the adrenaline which had now receded, caused me to fall into the realm of dreams.
Perhaps, the real reason was the shock and sheer Hopelessness I had just experienced, but I'll not dwell on that...
Because I....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did I go a bit too dark here? A bit too gory? Were you uncomfortable due to that?
Todo was getting complacent, thinking he was strong, so the world itself showed him how careless he was being....I definitely didn't plot this out.....probably.
Anyway, do tell me how the emotions were displayed in this chapter. Were you able to feel them? Or am I shit at fleshing out the emotions of the character?
Any comment, any paragraph comment is appreciated and loved by me. So Please, for the sake of me and my little fanfic, comment all your thoughts.
I literally gave this chap out due to the comments.....If you don't comment more, I won't give out more chapters....and that's a threat.
Any inconsistency you see, any doubt you have, just comment it, and I'll rectify it. Heck, even grammar mistakes.
