Today the final  first year will join you all. You,Itadori, Fushiguro and Gojo were in Harajuku to meet your new classmate.

"Why are we here in harajuku?"
"She asked us to meet her here"

You listened to fushiguro and Gojo while Itadori went to God knows where. You assume the other student is a girl. It would be better to have another girl in the group rather being the only girl .

You leaned slightly against the lamp post, your hands in your pockets as you observed the busy market. You have never got a chance to be out except for the missions. You saw a girl pulling the man who was looking for a model.

"What about me? Aren't you looking for a model?" She yelled.
"We are gonna talk to her...it'd be embarrassing" fushiguro cringed at the realization this was the supposed classmate to be picked.

You glanced at Itadori who just returned back with so many souvenirs and was wearing sunglasses. "Geto, I bought something for you" he grinned extending his closed fist towards you.

"What? You didn't need to" you said raising your eyebrows slightly in curiosity. "C'mon just take it" he said  extending his closed fist again expecting you to do a fist bump with him before he gives you the little gift.

But you didn't get the hint of fist bump and you tilted your head in confusion. He realized it and let out a chuckle "close your fist". You did as he told and then he hit your fist with his.

He then turned over his hand and opened his fist. A red bracelet with a  rose design in the center was in his palm. "Thanks" you tried not to sound cold as usual making your voice a bit softer just for him. However Itadori didn't found what he was actually looking for. He didn't found your smile.

You picked up the bracelet and examined it.  Before you can enquire Itadori about why he brought it for you , the girl from earlier was  called by gojo.

You kept holding onto the bracelet till your turn to introduce yourself will  come. The girl was taking mental notes on the type of person you all are. You didn't moved out from your spot . Your shoulders slump and hands in pockets while your face returned back to it's usual expression.

"[Y/N] Geto" you bluntly introduced not making the effort to be friendly. Fushiguro and Itadori were already done with their introduction. It was her turn now.

"I'm Nobara Kugisaki. Be glad I'm here Geto or you would've been left with these two" she said while putting her hand on hip glancing at all of you for once. Your attention went back to red bracelet.

"Are we going somewhere?"

"Tokyo for sight seeing"

"TOKYO!TOKYO!WE LOVE TOKYO!"

Itadori and nobara were on the 7th sky. You just sighed .'Kugisaki I didn't expect you as well. Nevermind'
The situation got more chaotic as both Itadori and Kugisaki started arguing about where we should be going.

"Okay so I'll be announcing where we are going" gojo said signaling Itadori for a drum roll. "ROPPONGI!" Gojo announced as Itadori hugged him.
'He kept his infinity off? Is it for once or is he always like this around students'

On the way you felt something off. You feel presence of a curse nearby.
You realized gojo fooled them. You went to Itadori and tapped his shoulder. "You shouldn't have trusted gojo-sensei" you retracted yourself after saying. Itadori just brushed it off.

"YOU LIAR"
"But it's still Roppongi"
"DON'T MESS WITH COUNTRY FOLK"

Nobara was throwing a tantrum that Gojo brought them here for exorcising curse. From what you have heard it's because of an outbreak in cemetery.
The conversation then shifted to Itadori swallowing the curse object.

"He swallowed a curse object"

"NO WAY! HOW UNSANITARY"

"That's mean!"

"I feel the same way"

'Me too'

You ran your hand through your hair . These people are taking too long to go. Gojo handed Itadori a large knife and explained him Whatever. You noticed Itadori looking at you intently like he was waiting for something.

You subconsciously gave him a thumbs up to which his lips lifted up into a cheeky grin. 'Why did I do that?'
You mentally slapped yourself.

You leaned against the wall once again. Gojo and fushiguro already sat down. You noticed gojo sitting down and fushiguro at a box .'isn't it supposed to be opposite?' .

Your arm  was suddenly pulled down by gojo so that you sit. "Were you trying to separate my arm from my body" you said while glaring at him.
He just chuckled in response. You put your palm on your forehead, annoyed at this. You notice that the red bracelet is already on your wrist.

"Who gave you that?" Gojo asked pointing at the red bracelet. "Itadori" your reply made gojo give you a teasing look. "Oh so..you are recieving gifts from boys. huh? I wonder how suguru would have reacted" he said with a suggestive tone to his voice which you didn't get.

But you stiffened when his name was mentioned. You bit your bottom lip and let out an exhale. He doesn't need to bring him up in the conversation. The white haired sensei noticed the change in you and decided to just keep quiet.

After a while the curse jumped out of the window. Megumi got up to exorcise it and you got ready to summon one of your curses. "Wait" the white haired sorcerer stopped both of you from taking any action. Soon the curse burned in mid air and turned into a crisp.

"She is crazy enough" Gojo remarked . Both Itadori and Kugisaki came out of the building. The rescued kid was escorted back to his house. "Good job you two. The kid is escorted as well,let's go to eat something" your teacher said while waving them to come here.

"BEEF STEAK" itadori demanded. "NO SUSHI" Kugisaki yelled. "C'mon megumi I know you are mad. You choose" Gojo gave megumi the chance to choose .

"Sushi" megumi mumbled. Nobara celebrated her so called victory while Itadori whined. Both Itadori and Kugisaki argued whole way, fushiguro was busy on his phone and you kept  enjoying your solitude.

When you all reached there, the waiter led all of you to the table. Itadori was between you and Kugisaki. Fushiguro and gojo sat across you.

The waitress came to collect  orders. "Holy crab roll" the country girl said with an ecstatic expression. "Tempura roll please" the ravenette across you requested politely . "Dragon roll" Itadori ordered ,a smile plastered on his face always. You glanced at your vivacious classmate from corner of your eye.

"Sashimi roll" the white haired teacher said then turning his head into your direction waiting for you to order as well. The waitress was awaiting for your order.

You just now realized that you haven't
decided anything yet nor checked the menu. Your eyes darted to white haired man in front of him expecting him to order something for you because  you suck at these sort of things. Now this was a both good and bad thing for you.

Good ,that Gojo got your hint. Bad because of what he ordered.
"Get her a spicy tuna roll" the waitress  left after he gave her your order.

The ravenette was rubbing your back in attempt to calm you down. But you continue to hiccup and cry. "He's mean" you pointed at the laughing saturo.

"Say cheese" the white haired idiot taunted you, who was just a kid in front of him."Saturo , now you have started bullying children as well" your elder brother sighed.

"Suguru, that's what she gets for calling me an old man and weak. Even though she is your sister she ain't an exception" Saturo replied having that teasing smile on his face. You picked up one of the chopsticks and threw at him.
But his infinity blocked them.

"[Y/N]that's disrespectful" suguru patted your back . "Then why did he feed me that spicy roll? He's mean. Why are you even friends with him" you pointed at saturo who was still in a fit of laughter .

"You two. I shouldn't have introduced both of you two each other" suguru said as he slumped in his seat.  He was gone for just one minute to come back and see this. Saturo feeding you a spicy tuna roll because of which you started crying.

~

You shudder at the memory. He ordered it on purpose. Everyone's orders came. You narrowed your eyes at the white haired man who is  amused right  now. You reluctantly started eating.

'I'll make sure to get back on you'

"You seem uncomfortable" Itadori mumbled his head tilting towards you.  You shook your head in response. "Ofcourse she'll be uncomfortable if you keep staring like a creep" Nobara told while pointing her fingers. "I'm not a creep" the pink haired boy objected. "Then how'd you know if she was feeling uncomfortable" the brunette scoffed.

"How much would it cost for both of you to stop?" you interfere in their arguement . You maintained your flat tone of voice. Itadori just chuckled while nobara seems to got an idea.
"Hmm..we can go on shopping together" nobara added.

"Then finish this for me"you said pushing your plate of tuna rolls to her. "You don't mind right? If I eat all of these" she asked raising an eyebrow. You nodded your head in response and she started digging in.
You heard gojo click his tongue.

After a while everyone was done eating. All of you left after gojo paid the bill. You was walking at the back of group. Itadori and Kugisaki was bickering once again .

"Oi ! Geto, come here" the brunette yelled waving her one hand for you to come and her other hand was grasping itadori's wrist. "See this. He's wearing the same bracelet as you" she said revealing itadori's wrist on which there was the same red bracelet as you. Itadori was sweating right now as he was caught red handed.

He looked at everywhere except you. The brunette giggled and went over to  the two others at front, leaving Itadori in an awkward situation.

"Itadori can I ask why you decided to give me a gift?" You asked your eyes drifting to the red bracelets both of you are wearing. He was pondering about what reasoning he should give you. "Just because we are friends. It's common for friends to gift each other things" his hand reached out to scratch the back of his nape as he told you.

"Besides I also thought you liked something like bracelets because I saw those red threads around your wrists" he added. His lips once again curved up into his endearing smile.

"Those aren't some threads.  They are special seals" the white haired sorcerer joined in. The pink haired boy's eyes squinted not understanding what seals mean.

"In simple words. Seals are a prison . It is used to cage curses or maybe even sorcerers." the white haired male's words also occupied the attention of the brunette and ravenette who wasn't standing so far.

"However in [Y/N]'s case. It's rather her cursed energy that's being sealed . Because it's too much to handle" Gojo explained glancing at you for once. He then added "[Y/N] it's better for your friends to know about this. So that if any inconvenience happens they can help". You gave your teacher a nod.

"I knew it from the start .You are really a girl boss" Nobara wiped her fake tears and then attempted to give you a hug from side. But you moved out of the way. "Sorry" you mumbled . "So can you be more stronger than  you are now if unsealing happens ?" The ravenette who was quiet all the time finally uttered something.

"I don't think unsealing is a right thing to do. It would be a downfall for me.  After all I can't control it" you sighed . The thought alone makes your stomach churn. But just then the strings once again tightened.

"Such a waste of potential. No matter how much it is bottled up. When it will be released it will be the awakening of the true essence of cursed energy. If I were in your place I would have prefer to--"

The words of the king of curses were interrupted when Itadori slapped his hand over his cheek,where sukuna's mouth was. "Sorry about that" Itadori apologized still keeping his hand over his cheek. You gave him a nod acknowledging his apology though he didn't need to.

"How odd, that the seals look same as the strings of fate I heard about" Itadori thought glancing at you.

All of you headed back to the Jujutsu high.  Though your mind kept wandering off to what Sukuna said.

'Can my cursed energy be something else more than a burden?'
