Cursed

Seating on at a small coffee table, my back towards the glass behind me Utahime gracefully pulled the chair in front of me out and sat down. I rested my chin on my palm looking at her order her coffee.

I picked up my coffee taking a sip before lifting my head to look at her.

"Utahime, what brings you here."

I had a small smile on my face looking at the irritated expression she had.

"Stop smiling like that you know I hate it and stop with the coy act; you know why I'm here."

Three days ago, I was wondering the streets that was until I found an interesting coffee shop. When looking at the entrance I could make out a familiar face. I entered sitting down some distance away before looking at them. Sitting right there was Utahime happily drinking coffee.

Turns out this small coffee shop was a comfort spot for her, how lucky could I be. Taking my chances, I approached her with an arrogant aura trying to mimic Gojo. When I got close seating down next to her I could tell she was irritated.

But using this to my advantage I engaged in a conversation, where I was able to get her to talk about her annoying junior. Before long she became tolerant of me as long as this meant being able to berate Gojo in front of someone.

She looked at with her arms crossed, occasionally drinking from her coffee cup. Looking at me bothered she grabbed her nose slightly.

"Why do you smell of sweat."

I chuckled lightly before responding.

"I just came from working out."

Gazing at me while I answered she let out a sigh before going back to sipping her coffee. I kept smiling at her before asking her.

"So, any more interesting encounters with that one Junior."

As soon as I said these words Utahime mood changed she tightened the grip on her coffee and grinned her teeth. "YES, HE'S ALWAYS GOING ABOUT HOW I'M NOT AS GOOD AS HIM, SHOWING ME NO RESPECT AT ALL. IF HE WASN'T MY JUNIOR I WO-"

Utahime voice instantly dropped her mouth hanging open. I looked at her confused as he stared at me.

'Wait is she looking behind me.'

I turned around before coming face to face with a smiling, white haired, sunglass wearing male and a black-haired person besides him.

"Utahime~, is this your boyfriend."

So, this was Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto in the flesh. I felt a smile slowly crept on my face as my hand started shaking slightly.

'Calm down, not yet.'

The boy and his friend walked into the shop both with smiles before pulling up chairs to sit at the table. Utahime face darkened as they sat down, it was kind of funny. I swear I could hear steam blowing from her ears.

"Utahime, why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend."

The white-haired boy looked at her pouting before she lifted her head yelling.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND, YOU MORON."

The whole shop went quiet looking at us.

"Oops, Did I ruin your chances."

"My condolences."

Gojo reached across the table hitting my back hard while Geto just smiled and nodded his head.

We ended up getting kicked out of the shop while Utahime profusely apologized to a waitress.

As we stood near on the outside waiting for Utahime I could hear a small conversation that Geto and Gojo where having.

'Did they figure me out, no way my cursed energy is masked to its lowest point. Even with his six eyes as long as he is this his laid-back mode, I should be fine.'

I stood leaning on the door in deep thought before hearing someone in front of me.

"I'm sorry, Shida I didn't mean to inconvenience you."

Utahime bowed her head a little, telling from her tone she was a little embarrassed. simply smiling at her I accepted the apology, if she wasn't talking about Gojo she was a really nice person.

"No problem, I don't blame you at all."

She looked up at me smiling a bit before turning around to Gojo and Geto.

"You two, why are you even here. Did you two have to come here and ruin my down time. Especially you."

She pointed at Gojo while he held up his hands with a surprised look.

"What, I would never. I just wanted to see you off before you went on that 'school trip'."

Letting out a heavy breath she looked turned around looking back at me.

"If you don't mind, I could compensate you with a free meal."

I nodded my head before getting off the wall and walking towards them. We all started walking together Geto was in the front with Utahime. But while walking I noticed Geto give Utahime a look as I looked at them, I noticed them talking in a low tone.

Suddenly Gojo grabbed my shoulder getting in close.

"So, what's your name buddy."

"Shida."

"So, Sita. You ever experience the supernatural."

"It's Shida, and no I don't think so."

Gojo looked at me with a questioning glaze while we followed behind Geto and Utahime.

"Are you sure Shiza, not one encounter with a little whisper in the wind or feel as if someone was there who wasn't."

"Shida, it's Shida. No, I haven't at least I don't remember."

I felt my nerves pulsate. 'Was he this annoying in the manga.'

Gojo dumbly nodded his name before rubbing his chin.

"Then have you ever had a death in the family, someone close."

I looked around us as we continued walking noticing less people walking around us.

'They're leading me to somewhere secluded. Damn, this is bad the best option is to just follow behind. I can't run at this point and if we fought it would just cause needless damage to others.'

I continued walking while Gojo had his hand over my shoulder.

"Yes, a few actually when I was younger. A tragic accident took both my parents and little brother."

Gojo nodded his head while listening. I could see from behind that Geto and Utahime had heard me, as they walked, they took a weird turn leading us to an abandoned hospital.

"I don't think this is a restaurant Utahime."

Utahime didn't turn around before she put up a hand sign and said ""Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure."

I looked around as it became dark all around the building. Gojo let go of my shoulder before walking up to Geto and Utahime. He turned around looking at me with a small smile while Utahime had a kind of sad face.

"Well Shida, it seems you're lucky. Actually, in reality you're actually unlucky."

Gojo rubbed his chin in thought while thinking about which one it was. Utahime face became red before swinging her fist down at him. It suddenly halted mid-way before she said.

"Stop fooling around with him, you moron."

He laughed before taking of his glasses showing his blue eyes while Geto stood behind him still relaxed.

"Gojo, you're horrible at explaining. Shida, in this world there are things called cursed spirits and cursed users. We are cursed users."

He pointed to himself and Gojo and Utahime.

"Cursed spirits which we haunt are born out of cursed energy formed from negative emotion. But curses have a chance of being born of a cursed human. With this these curses can attach to a person."

While explaining this Geto brought out an ugly creature carrying it in his hand before dispersing it quickly.

He then pointed to me.

"You, Shida have been cursed by one of these spirits."

I looked at him shocked.

'I was cursed.'
