"I don't know. But, seeing her the way
she is with Inumaki-senpai sorta
irritates me. Is that bad?"

~The next day, since Fushiguro didn't get to have his chat with Maki, she let them all rest so he could. Kugisaki had left to go buy clothes she could train in.

Y/N had gone back to the way she was 2 days ago. She was silent. She stopped smiling again.

She sat on the step just below the one Inumaki was sitting on. She carelessly sat in between his legs, her back facing towards him, as he played lightly with her hair, adding tiny braids and taking them out afterwards so it wouldn't knot.

Fushiguro looked at them from the corner of his eye. A small feeling of annoyance boiled in him before he quickly shook that feeling off and set his focus back on his senpai.

"Carrying cursed tools, huh?" Panda said.

"I agree with supplementing my close combat with weapons, but with my cursed technique, I want to be able to free up both hands at any time. With swords, you lose time sheathing them. Zenin-senpai, you often carry more than two around with you right? How do you do that?" Fushiguro questioned.

She pointed at Panda as he posed, "I make Panda carry them."

"Some sorcerers keep cursed spirits that can store and retrieve objects." Panda told him.

"He can't do that. Its a rare thing," Maki replied, "And it takes time to tame them, as well. But if you find any, let me know."

"A years supply of Calpas." Panda said.

The (H/C) haired girl looked at Inumaki who only shrugged with strands of her hair in his hands.

"Tuna tuna." He said as he pointed at Fushiguro.

"Huh? What?" Maki questioned.

They all turned their heads to the noirette.

"Senpai," He stopped before he smiled, "I think I can do it."

Fushiguro's smile made the girl heart rate increase. Her cheeks had built up a strong red color.

Inumaki noticed and poked her. When she looked at him, he raised his eyebrows in a teasing way. She shoved him and turned back around.

"Y/N," She looked at Panda, "How did you and Toge meet?"

"We were around 5 and 6 at the time. Our family's had been very close for so many years. My parents didn't want us meeting until they were sure I had a speech curse. It had seemed undecided for many years until just before I turned 5. The next day, I found Toge in my room. My parents didn't want me to think I was alone or a freak in any way." She explained.

"You would've thought that about yourself?" Fushiguro asked in shock.

She nodded, "Usually, kids are filled with spirit and happiness. I wasn't. I was always so negative. Toge helped me see that I was still normal, just a little different. We were inseparable for years until my parents death. His family had took him away from me. I met Yuuji not long after."

"Where are your markings?" Panda asked.

"What?"

Inumaki unzipped his uniform, showing his curse marks. He poked the girl to get her attention and pointed towards his.

"Oh. I don't really wanna talk about it if that's okay with you." She softly said

The four sighed. They were finally getting her to talk and now, they were shut out again. Maki and Panda had began to grow curious of how the girl really is. All they know is that she was just a female version of Itadori only, a little smarter, but since they had no clue who he was, they couldn't picture it.

Maki stood up, "Well, that's enough talking. Toge, help Y/N practice again. Panda and I got Megumi."

"Kelp."

The two speech curse users stood up and walked to the other side of the training area. Maki watched as Fushiguro's eyes followed them.

"You like her?" She said once they set out of hearing distance.

Fushiguro looked at his hands, "Shes okay."

Maki shook her head, "Not like that. I meant the whole 'boyfriend girlfriend' vibe."

He looked at her, "No. Why?"

"You've kept your eyes on her ever since she sat with Toge. You jealous?"

Fushiguro looked at his senpai who was helping the girl he'd met a few weeks ago. He felt his eyebrow twitch.

"I don't know. But, seeing the way she is with Inumaki-senpai sorta irritates me. Is that bad?" He asked while looking back at Maki and Panda. They both had small smirks on their faces.

"And sometimes, all I want to do is protect her. Keeping her safe has become a priority of mine." He went on.

Panda started laughing while Maki walked up to Fushiguro, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Well Megumi, it looks like the day came where you've finally found yourself a crush." She said as she pushed her glasses up.

Fushiguro looked at the girl again. She had Inumaki pinned down on the floor as he was desperately trying to get her off without using his technique. A small smile came to his face.

"Maybe you're right senpai." He said.

"Huh!? Not 'maybe'! I am right!"
