Cataclysm [jujutsu kaisen fanfic]

chapter twenty

after the urgency matter regarding Yuuji had settled, he quickly got out of the school and head back home to Satoru's home for extra rest. his face still had the patch as the healing supposed to heal by himself and not depending on reversal technique altogether.

he had finished doing his usual training and allowed himself to rest on the evening as usual. he looked outside, the lingering feeling of the previous incident still circulating in his heart.

the guilt he felt for not able to help those people that became a victim to the cursed spirit. he clenched his hand.

he could feel his power were more under control than a few months ago when he was just an ordinary person. Satoru did a good job at training him, despite seeing so goofy, being arrogant at time. he was truly incredible and an idol to him.

with the power he has now, he will make sure he could protect the remaining of people that he cared for around him.

a few soft knocks heard from the outside, and he quickly put on a shirt as the door opened. a soft, pink haired poking over the door and a smiling Tomoe seen afterwards. Yuuji smiled at her.

"Tomoe-san." he greeted her who waltzed into his room casually. a familiar duffel bag was seen hanging on her right shoulder.

"Yuuji-kun, how are you ?" she asked, setting the bag on a chair closeby.

"i'm doing fine now. i got my full strength back and i think i can finally join the others now." Yuuji said, spoke with a relief look.

He then noticed as Tomoe rummaged into her bag.

"ta-daa !"

Yuuji eyes widened.

it was a new uniform with the same pattern given by Tomoe again.

"woah, a new uniform !" Yuuji said with a bright smile, taking the shirt from her hands.

"in such a short amount of time too ! Tomoe-san, you're the best !"

Tomoe smiled a huge want, feeling her heart content seeing Yuuji smiling so brightly in front of her. her heart was softer than it ever be, swaying so carelessly now.

from deep within her, a presence just watched as everything unfold.

"Yuuji-kun, i also brought you dinner !" Tomoe said, picking up the container from her bag and served it for Yuuji, who looked at it with drools started to form from his mouth.

Yuuji continued to eat the food cooked by Tomoe, completely absorbed to the authentic taste of the food. it did not feel like it was mix with other spices the modernation usually had.

it tasted genuine, as if everything, from even the littlest one was handmade and not the one that usually could be found in a store and cook it instantly at home.

Tomoe... was something indeed.

the smile she always had, and even right now...

triggering a strange memory in his mind...

where a lady with silky black hair and beautiful sounding voice cooing down to him, holding his frail infant self in a warm arms.

it was all blurry, but the only thing that always evident in his memory was the warm smile.

a smile which a mother usually had.

a few firm knocks heard from the outside, and it was Satoru. he had come home from his usual job, and it was a day where Tomoe was swayed away by time. she looked away from him.
