Yuji asked me more questions about this new world on the train, and for some reason, I was happy to answer. No, it wasn't just for any reason it was because he was my soulmate. The bond was working, and it was slowly bringing us together. It had gone silent between us, glancing over at him to see his eyes looking as he fidgeted with his fingers.

I wanted to reach over and hold his hand. No, don't do it. Shaking my head as I focus back on my plan. Repeating the words in my mind, if I want a life that I choose, I must fight. I can not be held back by someone I didn't choose.

"We are getting close" I spoke aloud as I felt Yuji tense up from beside me. My eyes drifted over to him, he looked so nervous. I felt terrible for him because everything was happening so quick and he really deserves a break soon. My eyes softened as my body and mind thought with each other on what to do.

The right thing would have been to not do anything, but that sad and gloomy look he had on broke down my defence. Letting out a sigh as I reach into my bag, pulling out a box of blueberries I had brought. They were supposed to be for later, but I guess I would be using them now.

Gently tapping his shoulder, causing a light jump from him, "do you want one?" I politely ask, but he shakes his head, going back to looking at his hands. "They are good for when you're feeling anxious or stressed" I state as I pop one of the balls of deliciousness in my mouth. I could feel his eyes on me as I go to take another one, but instead of eating it, I offered it to him, "maybe it'll help you calm down." It wasn't much, but maybe he would be less nervous about going to the school.

I wasn't doing this because he was my soulmate. I just felt bad for the boy. He's been through a lot these last couple of days.

"Thanks" he quietly says as he takes one of the blueberries and slowly a small smile forms on his face. It was good to see his smile again, but not because I like him or anything. The person I like wouldn't have anything to do with a stupid tattoo. "My grandad used to eat blueberries a lot, they were his favourite" he whispered as he grabbed another looking at the round blue fruit with delicate eyes.

Unconsciously, the corner of my mouth began to move upwards as I watched the boy take his time eating. It was like with each bite he took memories of his grandad would flash through his mind. With every bite, he knew he could never go back to his old life. There was no more safe place for him.

Pushing the box towards, "you can have the rest, I'm not that hungry." I said as he gratefully took the box from my hands with a smile, "thank you (Y/N)." Turning away quickly from his eyes and towards the window watching everything move passed us in a flash. He didn't need to say thanks to me, I didn't do anything but give him my food.

The rest of the journey was quiet as he snacked on the fruit, which seemed to calm him down, but I could tell he was still nervous. Then again, who wouldn't be in his situation.

Eventually, we arrived at the school and as soon as I found the opportunity I was gone. Walking away from the group and towards my dorm without any of them noticing, I need some time alone. Everything was getting messy, and if I didn't sort it out quick, I could fall.

Opening the door to see my plain and boring room, I didn't bother to try to decorate. It would only be destroyed if she saw it and I'm stupid enough to test her. Once I was in my room, I began changing out of my uniform and hopping into the shower. "Why did I have to find you now?" I whispered to myself as the image of Yuji's smiling face flashed through my mind. My hand moved to the back of my neck as I felt an aching pain. Yuji was hurt, but I didn't worry. We were in the school, he was probably talking to the principal.

I had nothing against the boy but the fact that he had the same mark as me. Maybe if there weren't soulmates, perhaps I could have actually fallen for him but in this reality, I never really know if I like him or if it's the mark forcing me to. That's what I hate. Someone telling me what happens in my life.

After I was finished, I stepped out and quickly dried myself before putting on some casual clothes. There was some commotion outside of the room. People were talking, I had a feeling who it was, but I didn't want to leave my room.

Knock Knock

"Go away, I wanna sleep" I shouted at whoever was at the door, I thought it was Gojo just trying to get me out.

Knock Knock

Another knock at my door, my teacher was getting on my least nerves now. Pulling the door open ready to shout, but it wasn't him, "hello lady (L/N), she would like to speak to you about your mission." Pushing my wet hair off of my face as a sigh escapes me. "Okay" there was nothing I could do but agree to speak to that monster. I had a deal to uphold.

"Oh hey, (Y/N)!" turning to the side to see Yuji, Gojo and Megumi. Giving them a wave as I stepped out of my room, closing the room behind me. "That's so cool! We all live near each other" he looked at me with that bright smile, but I couldn't smile now, especially when I was going to see her.

"This way" nodded my head as one of her people led me away from the three of them.

However, as I walked away, I could feel his eyes on me, "where is she going? (Y/N) looks kinda sad" Yuji spoke to the other two. Megumi had no clue where I was going, but Gojo knew.

"(Y/N) is going to speak to her mum."
