“Hey, Sunshine,”

You shifted awake, opening your eyes to the man leaning over you. Geto pushed some hair from your face, smiling at your sleepy gaze. You yawned, rubbing the corner of your eye.

“Where’re you goin’?” You slurred tiredly, noting he was dressed.

“I have my mission today,” He said. “You have to wake up for class anyway.”

“Oh,” You muttered, sitting up. “Gimme a kiss.”

Geto chuckled, leaning forward to press his lips against yours. “I’ll see you probably late tonight or early tomorrow morning.”

“I leave my door unlocked for you,” You said, watching him stand and pocket his phone.

“Alright, but if it’s real late, I’ll just sleep in my room so I don’t wake you up,” He said, leaning down to press another kiss to your lips. “Love you, sweetheart.”

“I love you too,” You said. “Be careful.”

“Yeah, I will. Oh and, you actually might want to buy some concealer,” He said, almost wincing as he looked at your neck. “I did go hard last night.”

“No shit sherlock. Get moving,” You rolled your eyes.

“Yes ma’am,”

He left, closing the door softly behind him. You took a brief shower before using the last of your concealer to hide the marks on your neck. You wore your coat today, buttoning it over your neck before slipping on your pants. You slid your rings on, attacked the sheath for your kusarigama, pulled your shoes on, and then left.

“Y/n, I was looking for you,” Yaga said, coming down the hall.

“Hm? What for?” You asked. He handed you a slip of paper. “What’s this?”

“I need you to find any information on this weapon as you can. You know the most about cursed weapons and objects, so this should be easy work for you,” He said.

“There’s no need for that, Sensei,” You said, folding the paper back up before handing it to him. “I already know. The Chain of a Thousand Miles is a mysteriously cursed chain that can extend forever as the user keeps the end of the chain from being seen. Fushiguro Toji is currently in the possession of it and keeps the end of it hidden in the curse around his neck. Four of the links were broken off a little over fifteen years ago, and they were infused into my kusarigama. One of those links was broken during the fight I had with him, but I was able to mend it partially.”

“Will it work the same as the original?” He asked.

“No. But it can act as a recon,” You said, tapping your chin in thought.

“A recon?”

“Part of my technique is called Reconnaissance Link, and it allows me to merge any two chains together so long as I’ve touched them, and allow part of my cursed energy into it. I’ve held the Chain of a Thousand Miles before, and since part of its links is within my own weapon, I could use my technique and make the two merge together,” You mumbled.

“So you could take the chain from him?” Yaga asked.

“Hypothetically, yes.”

“What are the chances? I want numbers,” He said. You looked up in thought.

“Hmm. I’d say...about...25% of it working,” You said.

“Only that much?” He frowned, walking with you as you motioned for him to follow you.
