Its been 9 days since the Shibuya Incident and everyone is holding up for the most part.

(Maki POV)
"Well look who showed up. Yikes, a face like that aint gonna heal. What are you gonna do Maki?"  Naoya asked. "You judge women by their faces? I thought you only looked at their asses..."

"I asked you a question, so answer me scum..." "You cant use cursed techniques, and you cant see cursed spirits. All you had going was your face and now its all wrecked. No one will ever look in your direction anymore."

You're wrong.

"I've been lonely, shall I bully you like I used to ?" He asked. I didn't respond. "So now what? You gonna follow Okkotsu and Megumi like a lap dog?"

Say something scum...

"Maki..." I turned to see my mother. "Come back here. Have you forgotten we may not enter the cursed warehouse?"

"The clan head says it's alright." I say twirling the keys around my finger.

-flashback-
"Head of the Zenin clan? Me?" Megumi asked. "Yeah it was in Naobito's will." I said. "No thank you, its too much of a hassle."

"Sorry, but I need you to do this." I said. "Naobito said he'd leave the entire Zenin clan to you. That means money, cursed tools, and you'll recieve information about the 3 big families and Jujutsu Headquarters. The way we operate will drastically change."

"Then you do it Maki, no one will accept me or follow me the way I am now." Megumi said causing me to groan. "You inherited the family cursed technique and learned a domain. Satoru even favored you so it all stacks up to you being good enough barley."

"Im still not good enough..." "I cant create a perfect place where Mai feels like she belongs...." there's a pause of silence until he breaks it.

"Understood."
-end of flashback-

"I said come back here!" I heard my mother scream. "Why are you always like this. For once... make me glad I gave birth to you, Maki."

I continued to the cursed warehouse unlocking it. "Father!?" He sat there emotionless. "There are no cursed tools here Maki. I anticipated what you all would do, so I emptied it."

"Y-You idiot! Why did you come?!" I looked behind him. "Mai!"

I pulled out my sword ready to attack him. "Do you know why the former head of the clan was my older brother Naobito and not me?" My father asked.

"Is it because you're a bastard who's willing to kill children?!" I exclaimed.  We began fighting. I blocked some of his attacks and even broke his blade but still ended up getting slashed.

I thought I broke it.

"Why couldn't I become clan head? Because my children are all worthless!" Ogi said.

He began dragging Maki and Mai towards a room. "Children should never stand in the way of their parents..." he said tossing them inside.

"This room is used for training and punishment. Heavenly restriction... physically gifted, so what? We sorcerers fight with a trained body that is enhanced with cursed energy. Maki, any sorcerer out there has your power..."
