Soul Binding

Chapter 5: Settled

I stretch, hearing my phone vibrating before I let out a yawn. I grab my phone before smiling as I sit up.

'Course Yuji had a harder time dealing with those damn dolls...'

I can't help but snicker at how many pictures Gojo sent to me with Yuji getting punched.

'Note to self, don't get hurt when Gojo has a phone.'

"Hello! Anyone home?!" I hear a familiar voice yell a couple rooms down.

'Glad to hear he's still annoyingly loud...'

I set my phone on the nightstand before I get out of bed and go to the door. I open it, almost at the same time as Megumi while Gojo and Yuji are coming out of the room on the other side of Megumi's.

"You're next door?" Megumi asks, looking to Yuji.

"Hey! Fushiguro!" Yuji smiles as the other scratches the back of his head. "Wow! You look all better now!"

"There's lots of other empty rooms, you know?" Megumi says.

"Sure, but isn't better to have some company? I thought it would be good for..." Gojo starts as he walks towards the dark haired male.

"Classes and admission are enough." Megumi cuts him off as he crosses his arms. "This is not welcome."

"Woah!" Yuji starts, looking in the open door. "It's so organized in here!"

"Back off." Megumi starts, putting a hand on his door. "I just told you, you're not welcome!" He says, slamming his door shut on Yuji's arm and head.

"Heh! Friends already!" Gojo smiles.

I let out a snicker as my brother makes a face as he holds his head.

"Got yourself settled in, Yuka?" Gojo asks, causing the attention to go to me.

"Yep!" I smile. "Megumi lent me some reading material to get caught up on things so I've just been hanging out reading." I hum, hands in the pockets of my fuzzy black pajama pants with gold dragons stretching along the side of the legs.

"Just like at home! You need to lay off all the fluffy stuff, Yuka." Yuji says, looking into my room now.

I give a huff of annoyance at him. Instead of closing the door on him like Megumi, I opt to slam my fist down on his head.

"Shut up, pig." I frown. "I quite like being comfortable when I know you're around yelling to no one."

"Pig?!" He whines.

"Stupid would fit better. Gotta be if you eat a dead guy's finger like candy." I add, Gojo just laughing at us.

"Good to hear you're doing just fine, Yuka!" Gojo smiles. "And together, we're heading out tomorrow. We're going to go pick up the fourth and final first year."

~~ Not far from Morioka Station ~~

"How is there only four first years? It's practically nothing." Yuji asks, eating some ice cream as he sits on the railing as we wait.

"Think about it. Can you honestly say you've met anyone else that sees curses?" Megumi asks.

"Huh... guess not." Yuji says. "There's Yuka though."

"Yeah but you didn't know until after you ate Sukuna's finger." I huff, crossing my arms.

"Because, Jujutsu Sorcerers. They're rare." Megumi says.
