Cursed Fate | Inumaki Toge Fanfic |

*When Megumi, Nobara and Itadori went to exorcise curses at the juvenile center*

*Still Rina's pov*

I arrived at the dorm at 6 p.m. The school is located at a hidden outskirts of Tokyo. It's surrounded by trees to obscure the location. It's a refreshing sight.

"You can go grab dinner." Gojo-sensei  said and gesture to the dining room. The dining room at the dorm is quite spacious. There's not much tables but it fit as I was told that the number of students are low.

I walk to the kitchen and grab a plate. Then I scooped up some rice to put on my plate. I passed the scoop to the person behind me. Then I look at him/her.

"Tuna mayo? Kelp!". He said. What a familiar voice I missed it. "I see.. good to see you too". I smile. I can see his eyes slightly shrink. He's smiling? Aww~

"Wait you can understand him?" A female senpai.. I think? Asked me. "Yes..." I replied, slightly embarrassed.
She laugh and then pick a seat next to me. "You're a first year right? Where's the others?" She asked after seeing that I'm alone.

"The others went with Kiyotaka-san to exorcise curses". "I see. You don't tag along?". I smile sheepishly and say "I'm new to Jujutsu so I don't know any technique..yet. So Gojo-sensei sent me to the dorm first".

"By the way ...." I cut off my words, not knowing how to address her. She smile "It's Zenin Maki". I nodded "Ah yes.. Maki-senpai...that...panda?" I asked, not sure how to arrange my words.

"That's Panda. He's the principal's curse corpse. But he have feelings and such. He's a second year like us." Panda-senpai realise that we're talking about him and look at us.

"Hi!" He said cheerfully. I smile. "Hi! I'm Kazuhara Rina". Maki-senpai seems slightly startled. It's weird. It's the same reaction as Nitta-san. I just shrugs it off.

"Tuna mayo? Mustard". Inumaki-senpai said. I smile at him. "It's nothing hahah". Then Maki-senpai grin. "Are you the one that Inumaki found two days ago?" Panda-senpai asked.

"Salmon!" Inumaki-senpai said. I nodded along. Then Maki-senpai explained about Inumaki senpai's technique. "Ah that's why~". "Well then, how about you? How do you understand him?".

I shrugs. "I don't know. I was feeling frustrated when I can't understand him, and I keep thinking that I want to understand him and then I can". I tried to explain. That's the best explanation I can came up as I, myself am unsure.

Panda and Maki look at each other. "Eh~ that's pretty interesting huh?" A voice come out of nowhere. I look towards the dining room door. There stood Gojo-sensei.

"It might be related to your curse technique, who knows?". My curse technique? I frown. "Other than that, what else can you recall?" He asked.

"I..think I saw some sort of sound wave when Inumaki-senpai used his technique". Gojo-sensei seems pretty shook. "Hmm that's something else. It's related to your technique, but not the technique that makes you understand Inumaki's rice ball speech".

Maki, Panda and Inumaki face change. They're suprised? Why? I look at them with what's-going-on face. Maki-senpai notice it and sigh.

"It means that you might have 2 curse technique. It's not possible, considering we usually inherited one technique. Or none at all". Somehow Maki-senpai seems kinda sad when she mentioned 'none at all'.

"Yes it's not possible. But her clan make it possible." Gojo-sensei said. My eyes widen. My..clan? I wanted to ask but he quickly cut me off "It's not the time for you to know this. First, get stronger, at least a first grade sorcerer, then I'll tell you".

"Oh...". I'm quite sad at the remark. But I know he's trying to help me to be stronger. I tried to smile and nodded. I quickly finish what's remain on my plate and then excused myself.

It's 10 a.m. I can't fall asleep. It's looks like the other 3 first year is not back yet. Might as well get some fresh air outside. I slowly opened my room door. The rooftop. Let's go there.

It looks like it's not locked. Yey. I opened the door. It's dark. But I can feel someone's presence. I walk and then saw Inumaki-senpai.

He is looking at the stars. I smile. His gold tinged hair shine so dazzlingly under the moonlight. His collar is unzipped. The wind blow rustling his hair softly.

I blush. Why do I feel embarrassed? He looks so beautiful. Then he look at me. Our eyes locked for like 5 second and he then smile. "Tuna rice? Salted salmon roe". He patted the spot next to him.

I smile. "I just arrived. Sure I'll join you". I sit next to him. "Mustard leaf?". "Nothing, I was thinking about what Gojo-sensei said over dinner".

He then patted my head. "Tuna tuna". I chuckled. Gosh he's so cute. "Thank you, Inumaki-senpai" I smile at him.
I can see that his cheek slightly pink.

"No worry". He said. That caught me off guard! Not tuna, mayo or mustard! I can feel my cheeks getting hotter. I laughed, trying to brush the embarrassment away.

"What about you senpai? Can't sleep?" I asked while hugging my knee. "Salmon". I laugh. "Same as me~". He nodded.

Gosh what do I do. He's so cute. I wonder why I can understand him? Sigh let's not think about this. I might unconsciously think about what Gojo-sensei said if I think about why I can understand him. Then we watch the stars silently.

"Seaweed rice, tuna tuna". He said, breaking the comfortable silent. "Oh right, it's getting late. We better head back huh?". I grin and the two of us go to our respective room.
