Aftermath

"Welcome to my collection, Acid Curse." I say with a wide smile as I look upon the floating shikigami above my head.

Now, with the fight over I dismiss all of my shikigami as I look upon what was left of the cemetery. "Yeesh. I guess I did mess this place up a bit." I say looking at the many craters in the ground before turning to melted areas of earth. "Welp. Jobs finished. Best to get out of here before those "suited men" show up and report me." I say shrugging as I walk out the cemetery.

What happened next was like a blur. Days turned into weeks. And weeks turned into months.

-14 months later, December 2002-

"Ah, what a wonderful scenery this is. Wouldn't you agree?" I say toward the figure sitting next to me.

"Haha, I would have tk agree with you on this one. Now, Ms. Makima. Why have you set out to find me. Surely you have better things to do." He said with a laugh before quietly turning serious.

"Relax Kenjaku. I'm just here to lay down a deal. I have no real interest in your plan. Nor do I wish to be plotted against." I say leaning back with my bavk touching the endge of the building we're sitting ontop.

Looking at the man, he had brown shoulder legnth hair with finely toned muscles to boot.

"Ah, I see. So what are your conditions?" He said easing his nerves as he took a sip from his hot chocolate.

"Nothing much. Neither of us are allowed to cause any harm to the other. And we both get 1 favor from eachother." I say holding up my hand close to his face.

"Very well. I can accept these conditions." He said smiling. "Then it's a deal!" I said with glee on my face as we shook hands. An ethereal white chain connecting us signifying the completion of our contract.

"Ah by the way. When do you plan of fully manefesting? Im sure that little body is a bit uncomfortable." He said leaning over the edge to look me in my face.

"Well, not really. After spending a year in the form i've kinda gotten used to it. But for when I do fully manefest… I was thinking before J get into some kinda important fight." I say pondering for a minute. This thought have came across my mind many times during this year.

My growth had finally come to a halt, with my domain still being incomplete much to my dismay. However, it atleast have its own barrier now.

And along with time my strength also skyrocketed. I decided to go quality over quantity with having over a 50 grade 2 curses, dozen grade 1 curses, and 3 special grade curses.

The first special grade curse being the acid curse. The second being the bone curse. I dont like that one very much… And lasty a shadow curse. Its cursed technique puts weight onto a person shadow, making them heavier in turn. They can also move through shadows which is convenient but still limited.

Another thing. My cursed energy reserves compared to when I fought the acid curse is astronomical. Hell I find it surprised that Kenjaku was the only person to take notice of me.

After learning about Jujutsu Society I've come to the realization that under any point of time I could of died! Hell im lucky I was far from tokyo, or I'd have to deal with the 3 major clans targeting me.

"Hey Kenjaku. Tell me more about Sukuna." I say, sparking the conversation back up. To pass time me and Kenjaku would tell stories about the heian era going as far as the edo era. The one that caught my attention the most was obviously the heian era, housing the strongest sorcerer in history. Ryomen Sukuna.

Ever since I heard about him I became obsessed with him, or rather his strength. He reigned supreme with no equals. He held the strength to control life and death as he pleased. Only succumbing to death by the hands of multiple sorcerers of the time.

"Hmm, where did we leave off…" Kenjaku said with a warm hum. "Ah right, where me and Sukuna finally met."

"Sigh what a pain in the ass" I say walking through the coradoors of the building I was previously sitting upon. "But, atleast he is a bit intresting." I say rubbing my neck, a bit sore due to the uncomfortable position I was sitting in. 

"Now that he's gone and im considerably stronger. Maybe I should pay Yumiko a visit. It has been over a year since i've seen her." I mumble to myself as I grab my phone out.

-Kyoto Jujutsu High, Yumiko Chitagawa-

"Hey Utahime! Could you help me out with something real quick?" I call out, gaining the attention of a girl with shoulder legnth pig tails, wearing a traditional miko outfit. "Hm? Whats up?" She says walking up behind me.

Looking over my shoulder, you could see me concentrating a ball of water, or well trying to atleast. "I'm trying to replicate the techniques of the Kamo clan but they're stingy... So could you help me out a bit?" I ask, hoping to get any advice from the girl.

"Hmmm. I think your problem is cursed energy manipulation." She said looking closer for a minute before continuing. "I've said this over and over, it doesn't matter if you have a good ammount of cursed energy and a nice cursed technique to pair with it. If you can't use it effectivly its just gonna be wasted!" She said, causing my focus to slip for a minute. "Ah-" I mutter out as the ball of water explodes in my face.

"Sorry...Utahime." I say bowing as I got her dress wet in the process. "Sigh, I cant be mad at you... Come one Yumiko, we're gonna practice some more." She said reaching her hand out. "Alrigh- wait hold on." I say reaching into my pocket to reach my phone.

"Hello? This is Yumiko speaking." I say, confused as the number wasn't saved. What met me on the other line surprised me a bit. "It's nice to hear your voice again, Yumiko." 

"Ms. Makima!? How's everything going with you!?" I yell out in surprise before walking off from Utahime, not wanting to yell infront of her. "I'll be right back Utahime, right after this call of course!" I yell out before turning the corner.

"I'm doing perfectly fine Yumiko. How's your training going lately?" 

"Ah, im doing fine. Just having a small trouble with cursed energy manipulation." I say feeling a little ashamed at the end. "Well thats to be expected of someone with a grade 1, bordering special grade cursed energy reserves tries to use it without prior training. You're still new to cursed energy. Its okay to take your time." I hear her say over the phone causing a small smile to grow on my face.

"Anyway, I was call to make another deal. Well, I need to make a deal with you to make a deal with someone else." Huh? Thats odd. But its nothing i'm not use to anymore. "Ah sure, whats the deal?" 

"I will live in your body. However, you must get me into contact with Jujutsu Higher ups." I hear her say causing me to pause for a minute. What could she possibly want with them? The last time she asked to make a deal it was to gain her freedom. What could she possibly gain from talking to thoes geezers?

"I dont know Ms. Makima... this sounds pretty sketchy." I say before pausing to thinking of the wording of my next words. "I mean, what could you gain out of doing this?" I ask still a bit confused from her request. 

"Nothing dangerous. I'm just trying to ensure my protection. I dislike the the possibility of dying because I didn't have connections with both side rather than just one." Both sides? Is she talking about cursed spirits? I mean, that does make sense from a certain point of view. 

"...Fine" I say sighing in resignation. "But in return! I want help on how to manipulate my cursed energy better!" I say while puffing my chest. Durring my time as a jujutsu sorcerer I've learned many things. And one of them was to see the benifit in any and all situations. Although I probably would of found out how to manipulate my cursed energy better on my own, I doubt id have the time while being an active duty jujutsu sorcerer.

"Then it's a deal. Meet me at the gate of your old highschool tomorrow to make it official." She says before hanging up causing me to sigh. 

"What have I got myself into?" I say stairing into the sky blankly.

-End of chapter-

Im probably dropping 1 or maybe 2 more chapters today to get closer to the word count goal. I no longer wanna make a word count chapter cuz that would just take up unnecessary space.

First arc for the mc starts next chapter and will probably last 2-4 chapters before hidden inventory. Trying not to rush the plot the best way I can. Enough of my rambling though.

I hope you all enjoyed, stay safe as always.
