12 - ENVY
You, Itadori, and Nanami-sensei stand in front of the bloody scene in the cinema. Something about high school students dying and their blood spilling was nostalgic to you.
It gave you a glimpse of who you are.
"Can you see it? This is the residual taint of cursed energy." Nanami-sensei said.
"No I can't see anything." Itadori said with an air headed expression.
"That's because you're not trying to see it." you knocked his head.
"We typically see curses as if it's perfectly natural to. When a cursed technique is used, it leaves traces behind. That's a residual." Nanami explained.
"They're pretty hard to see, so focus your vision and look closely." you added.
Itadori put hands around his eyes, like goggles, and stared intensely at the ground with a goofy expression.
"Hey I see it!" Itadori finally said.
"A proper sorcerer can sense them before seeing them." Nanami replied which made Itadori grunt in frustration as you added to the teasing while nodding your head and smirking.
Itadori only stomped away like a child.
"Can't you give me more praise or something?" Itadori whined.
"I don't praise anyone. I see facts. That's who I am." Nanami said. "There was a time when I mistakenly believed society operated the same way. Anyways, let's follow them."
"Yeah! Let's go all out!"
"No, moderate effort only."
Itadori let out another disappointed expression.
"Y/N!" Itadori whispered. "I can't can't click with me! How do you two get along?"
"Hm? Oh, I just don't bother him. Nanami-sensei isn't the type to be outgoing. He's only here for business, like Megumi." you respond.
But it is kinda odd how we had to be with Nanami-sensei for this. Gojo is such a lazy man...
Flashback.
"I won't be able to lead you two this time. But don't worry. I've called in a friend." Gojo said opening the door to show an all too familiar person to you, Kento Nanami-sensei. "This is Nanami Kento, the ex-salaryman jujutsu sorcerer!"
"Don't call me that." Nanami immediately said with an unimpressed face.
"Oh, Nanami-sensei. It's good to see you again." you bowed respectfully to which he only nodded.
"Plenty of jujutsu sorcerers are oddballs, but since he's worked for a company he's got a good head on his shoulders. He's a first-grade sorcerer, too." Gojo explained.
"I'm sure no one would want to hear you saying that about them." Nanami retorts.
"Ex-salaryman? Why didn't you become a jujutsu sorcerer from the start?" Itadori asked.
"I studied at Jujutsu high, and one thing I learned... is that jujutsu sorcerers are B.S!" Nanami said with passion.
"Huh?" Itadori muttered with a dumbfounded look on his face while you were just laughing.
"Then I worked at a typical company, and one thing I learned... is that work is B.S!" Nanami said.
"Really?!" Itadori said.
"If both are equally B.S, I'll settle for the one that's better. That's the only reason I came back." Nanami said.
"That's dark." Itadori whispered to you and Gojo.
"Right?" Gojo added.
"So depressing." you replied.
"Please don't think I'm the same of Gojo's mindest. I do have faith and trust in him..." Nanami said which Gojo confidently smirked. "...but I do not respect him!"
"Huh?!" Gojo immediately says.
"Haha! More proof that not everyone likes you, Gojo! Hahah!" you laughed out, holding your stomach.
"Nanami does not count! He doesn't like anybody!" Gojo yelled back.
"This conversation is dragging on, to put it short, I don't recognize you as a sorcerer, even if you are the vessel of Sukuna. I don't think it's safe for us to have Y/N as a student at Jujutsu High either. Her past is should be enough of an explanation on why she should be exterminated immediately." Nanami said.
Itadori's expression changes as he glances at you. "Y/N's... past?"
You only blankly stared at the floor as you had a displeased look.
"With that being said, please do actually put in some effort into this." Nanami said.

End of flashback.
"There wasn't anything in the surveillance?" Itadori asked.
"Yes. There was only one young man aside from the victims." Nanami said.
"Then a cursed spirit?" Itadori asked.
"Most likely." you replied. You three enter out into the pouring rain with umbrellas. "There's a small chance the young man could have done it, too. But identifying him is the police's-."
You stopped in your tracks immediately sensing the cursed spirit. Nanami stopped too, finally realizing it.
"Lu-Lu-Lu-Lunchbox!" The curse said.
Immediately when Itadori saw it, he discarded his umbrella ready to fight it.
"Stop. I'll take care of this." Nanami said.
"Okay, we'll take care of the two over there." you said.
"Huh?! There are more?!" Itadori exclaimed.
"You really need to start getting your senses together. Even a blind man can see those cursed over there." you said as you pointed out the two cursed spirits to Itadori.
"If you can't beat it, call me." Nanami said.
"Can't you have more faith." Itadori slumped over.
"Don't worry. I can save you too." you added in.
"Not you thinking low of me too!" Itadori frowned.
As Nanami was explaining his cursed technique, Itadori was being thrown around like a rag doll by the grade two cursed spirit.
It was a surprise that Nanami let you deal with the grade one cursed spirit as he would've wanted to take that on himself.
But after all, you were still a special grade with an unknown force of power inside you.
The cursed spirit lunged at you as you swiftly dodged it.
It was fast, but that didn't matter when you could read every movement it was going to make before it made it.
"Hyakumanko Paralysis!" a purple glowing orb shines on your hand as it goes through the head of the cursed spirit.
Itadori watches you in awe as you took down that cursed spirit with ease.
I wonder what Y/N's cursed technique is— AHHH!
Itadori yells as he was thrown into some sort of baseball bullseye making the machine say "Homerun!"
Not soon after, Nanami took down his cursed spirit too.
You were about to go help Itadori before Nanami stops you. You look at him as she shakes his head.
Blue cursed energy emits in Itadori's fists like flames. He then punches the cursed spirit right where it's heart is and punctures a whole through it.
Your senses immediately picks up on what his cursed technique is. Divergent fists, a technique in which the cursed energy comes after the impact of an attack, creating two amounts of damage in one punch.
"Amazing..." You mutter. As you were sensing at Itadori'a ability, you picked up something else that surprised you. "Itadori! Don't finish it off!"
You three gather around the curse Nanami was fighting off and looked at one of the arms. It had a watch. This... was a human.
"Nanami-sensei... These aren't normal cursed spirits. They're humans." you said calmly. But the widened look on Itadori's face said otherwise.
-
After getting off the phone with Shoko, they were humans that turned into full cursed spirits. It had to be the doing of someone or something.
Nanami had to leave to get to other important businesses which left you and Itadori in the room.
The silence in the air was suffocating. Itadori was sulking as he looked down with a worried expression.
You glance at him and slightly bit your lip on how you could make him feel better until you realized,
How come I don't feel bad?
Am I really that inhuman?
Am I bad person for not feeling guilty about killing them?
You couldn't help but feel envy for Itadori. He was so worried about hurting them, while you didn't have a single care in the world.
Itadori was so good compared to you.
"Hey... You heard Shoko. You didn't kill then. They already died, so you had nothing to do with it." You said.
"Even so, their deaths still weigh on me." Itadori replied.
Your eyes widen slightly. How could someone think so thoughtfully? Am I really that terrible?
"With that being said... this thing has a disgusting taste." Itadori said with a madden expression as anger dripped from his voice.
You looked at him with silence before responding. "Those residuals were probably false to lead as to those cursed spirits. The enemy is smart. So let's go all out." you said giving him a small smile.
Itadori smiles back, "Yeah!"
a/n: y/n's past finally being uncovered?!?!?!
to put it short, y/n thinks she is some sort of monster or inhuman being because something of her past. she envies itadori a lot.
