Yuji managed to pull me up, his strength was incredible after all. When he did, I didn't say anything, nor did Yuji. I couldn't look him in the eye, I didn't even question how or why he was alive.
I quickly glance at him to see what his reaction was, only to be met with tears in the corner of his eye.
Guilt washed over me, I felt the need to be the one to break the silence, "I'm.. sorry..." I mumbled.
"No. None of it would be your fault, I'm just glad you're okay." Yuji says while hugging me, I hug back and we stayed like that for a good while. It was peaceful. While it lasted anyway.
*SNAP*
I felt the colour drain from my face, I look up and saw a camera along with a Gojo. Growling, I break the hug and run after him, "Waahh!" The sudden attack surprised him and now I was chasing after a man child attempting to grab the phone while the vessel for the King of Curses was trying to break up us.
Normal stuff.
~~~small timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The chaotic father-and-son-like duo brought me over to this basement on the school grounds. Gojo explained how cursed techniques work and gave Yuji a bear wearing boxing gloves and told him to watch movies while cuddling that. 'Take that out of context and just see how weird that sounds.' Wait, who am I talking to.." Oh well.
"And you!" Gojo suddenly points a finger right in my face, I replied with a simple what.
"You also have training! You'll be training with the second years along with Megumi and Nobara!"
"Uh, how about no? I don't need to train." Emphasizing the need.
"I will admit, despite not knowing your actually standing level, your powers will be about a grade 1 or special. However, can you manipulate your lighting to become electricity?"
I pause, I never thought of that, I never needed it either.
"No.. it would be useful to learn, but why? I'm not going to become a charger for no one thank you very much."
He smirks, 'Uh oh, the bad feeling came back. He's going to guilt trip me again..'
"Yuji! Tell L/N-chan here to train!"
~~~timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~
"That bastard." I mumble, Yuji told me to train so I could beat Sukuna in case something happens again, but electricity hardly effects him.
I walk over to the field, expecting to see some intense sparring, but was met with Nobara being catapulted into the air by a panda. 'Why am I still surprised?'
Fushiguro noticed me first while examining weapons, "Ara? L/N, you're here too?"
"Mhmm, Gojo told me to train a bit." Fushiguro looked awkwardly to the side, most likely wondering if I knew about Yuji's 'death'. Nobara walked over with a slightly worried face, I sigh, "I neared about Dori's.. uhm, passing. However I don't really have much else to do so I'll stay alongside you guys."
~~~timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~
We've been sparring and doing 'landing drills' for quite a while now. Both Nobara and Fushiguro were tired.
"Let's take a small break." I sit down on the stairs, taking in the scenery. Nobara promptly sits next to me while Fushiguro sits behind. "Hey.. L/N?" I hum and face her,
"You knew Itadori before he became Sukuna's vessel right?" I nod, "Well, you seem to be doing pretty fine despite knowing him the longest."
I slowly face down, I was told not to tell anyone about the fact that Yuji's alive, "Well, I didn't take it as well as you think.. before I came here to train with you all. I.. attempted suicide." Everyone's eyes faced me, filled with a mixture of sadness, confusion and fear.
"Blindfolds saved me and managed to convince me to stay, I won't state the reasons. You'll understand what I mean at the event.." After saying that, it became quite awkward.
Zenin-san sighed, "Well, let's go back to training shall we?" She faced me, "What do you want to do?"
I stay silent for a minute, before stating, "Onigiri."
I got weird looked until Inumaki-san replied with a happy, "Shake, okaka." Happily nodding his head with his eyes closed. Nobara smiled slighting and agreed, "I'm in the mood for Onigir!"
Zenin-san sighed again, but didn't say anything.
That was how the 6 of us went inside and started making rice balls, dealing with a bit of chaos too.
