Those green eyes

Maki's Pov

It all began the day I was trying to defend my sister from our father. He usually doesn't even look at us, and when he did he did it with eyes full of disgust, but for some reason that day, he was more erratic than usual.

I thought that he was only going to yell at us, but he went and hit Mai with a vase and made her bleed. I couldn't believe he did that. Even if he didn't love us, even if he thought of us like a pest, couldn't he leave us alone? Why do we have to go through all this? Just because we didn't have enough curse energy? Because we are women?

I didn't understand the actions of this family, nor why my sister and I had to endure all this. No, I knew why, because we were weak and mere children. If we ran away, they would find us and take us back. Even if we were weak and the clan didn't want us, it was nice to have servants around. I am sure that is the only reason they let us stay.

But part of me hoped that our father, no, not our father, but the man in front of us would have even a tiny fraction of love for us, but I didn't know what was I thinking, love? This human thrash that treated his children this way? I am sure the people of this clan aren't capable of that.

Look, he is lifting his arm again with the broken vase in his hand. He already hit Mai; why wouldn't he hit me, too? But that is fine. You can hit me now and call me names, and you can look down on me, but one day, I will be looking down on you. Just wait.

His hand was already lowering with the intent to hit, but I didn't intend to close my eyes or look away, and I was able to see something incredible.

BOOOM!!

The man was sent flying with a punch. His body broke through the walls of the manor, and he even broke the concrete well outside.

"How about I hit you instead?"

I turned around and saw the culprit, he had bright orange hair, was tall, and his muscles were visible, his face was morphed with rage.

The clan head tried to say something to him, but the man just turned around and glared at him, and I couldn't believe what I saw, not only the clan head but everybody present backed away, they were scared of him, well except for the weird white-haired man that was grinning at the side.

Suddenly, he turned around and asked us if we wanted to leave. At that time, I couldn't hold back and let everything out.

The next thing I knew, he lifted us and made us sit on his shoulders. The words get said next will forever be engraved in my mind.

"You hear me, streng is the law in the Zennin clan, right? Then remember this one day they will come back stronger than any of you, they will show you how amazing they are and.."

Then he pointed his thumbs at us.

"They will show you who is boss."

This man believes in us. Why? He doesn't know us, and he should see that we are weak right now, so why?

The next few days, I got the answer to that question. Kurosaki Ichigo was simply a good person with a kind heart. In the beginning, I had my doubts about the situation. I mean, who wouldn't? An unknown man took me and my sister out of nowhere, but the first few days with him were better than all the years at the Zennin clan. He brought us new clothes, and gave us all kinds of food.

Later on, we moved to a house. I asked why, when we were just fine at Jujutsu tech, he said something about us being kids and that we needed a proper home.

And just like that, a year went by. During this year, we went to school. We made friends, well Mai did. To me, it was not found to hang around those kids. They couldn't keep up with me, but there was a boy who could play with me. He was fun, his name was Itadori Yuji.

Kurisaki Ichigo was still the same, caring, and kind. When we were late from school he would look for us, worrying that something had happened to us, I thought that was stupid, a normal person could do nothing to us with me here, he would make dinner, and we would help him, he trained us, nothing serious but even when we were training he always make sure we don't get hurt.

Since living here, Mai started to smile more, and I did too, I wondered if this was what a father felt like, comparing how our father used to look at us, Ichigo would always look at us with caring eyes; I wasn't sure, but it felt like we are a proper family.

Back with Ichigo and Gojo

Ichigo and Gojo stepped out of the Garganta but instead of appearing in front of Yaga, they appeared in the nurse office, scaring Shoko.

"AHHH!!"

"Ah, Sorry."

"Sorry? How about you stop doing that?"

"Oi! Ichigo, why did we appear here instead of Yaga's office? 'exhale' it could be you were thinking of Shoko? Oh my, how scandalous."

""Shut up, Satoru""

Both Shoko and Ichigo looked at Gojo and told him to shut up, trying to sound angry but the blush on their faces betrayed them.

"Hahahah, okay! Shoko Ichigo and I were going to annoy Yaga for a bit; wanna come?"

"I can't. I am busy, but annoy him even more for me."

"You got it, come on Ichigo."

"Sometimes, I feel bad for Yaga."

Knock Knock!

Ichigo and Gojo were about to exit the nurse's office but out of nowhere, they heard a knocking sound, someone knocking wasn't weird, but what got their attention was the fact that the sound came from the window.

Shoko, unconcerned for her safety, just stood up and opened the window, then the ciggarate she was smoking fell off her mouth.

"Shoko?"

Ichigo saw her face and was worried.

"I-Ichigo!"

"What?"

"Robot."

"With the risk of sounding like a broken record, What?"

Ichigo confused by Shoko's attitude asked again but what he hear in return wasn't Shoko's voice but a boy's one.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, do you want my help with the matter of the heavenly pacts?"
