Kind Words (Toge Inumaki)

Chapter One

"You really think that a small attack like that is gonna hurt me? Try again!" I yelled, using my cursed eye on the monster freezing it in its place. I launched my chain scythe at it coated in malicious cursed energy exorcising it easily. Then my phone rang, it was Gojo.

"What's up?" I asked, retracting my scythe's putting them into the holsters on my waist

"You finish your mission, dearest daughter of mine?" He asked, I could practically feel the smirk on his face. I shook my head in disbelief, he was definitely stalking me

"Yeah, I finished your mission you didn't want to do yourself."

"Oh, you're so cruel to me sweetie. I'll have you know you won't be a lone first-year anymore! Three more just enrolled."

"That's cool. I'm heading back now anyway so I guess I'll meet them tomorrow," I hung up the phone before he could convince me to come to dinner with them or something stupid like that. I walked out of the curtain and plopped down in Ijichi's car so he could bring me back to the school.

When we got back I trudged all the way back to the dorm hall before being interrupted by two people and a big fluffy adorable panda. All posing in fighting stances as though I were a threat to them. I raised my arms tiredly to show I was posing no threat.

"This is a school to learn exorcising curses not for curses you know," The green-haired one said.

"I'm not a curse," I said, trying to walk past them.

"Bonito Flakes," the white-haired one said. I stared at him confused.

"Listen, I'm exhausted and I really don't know why there's a walking cursed corpse here, or a boy speaking onigiri, but I really need my bed for like 8 hours," I said, jumping over them easily. The Panda turned fast and grabbed me by the arms, squishing them into the side of me lifting me off of the ground. I sighed and just kinda stayed there while they called Gojo to tell them that there was an intruder that was a curse user.

"What intruder, my dear students?" Gojo asked, appearing out of thin air ready for a fight. The panda practically shoved me in his face, I waved, while the green-haired one told him about how I was a curse trying to enter the school. "Oh her? She's no intruder!" Gojo grabbed me out of the Panda's arms. "This is my beautiful daughter and your fourth first year! Satsuki Kendo-Gojo," he explained, setting me down. I stared up at him unimpressed and exhausted.

"Great, now that that's settled I'm going to bed. Bye," I said, walking by the four of them before dad (Gojo) grabbed my collar and dragged me back.

"Now you three introduce yourselves," dad said.

"I'm Maki Zenin, just call me Maki," the green-haired one said. "Sorry about that when Gojo said he had a daughter we thought that she would be a mini version of him, with the white hair and stuff," I stared at her with a blank look on my face.

"I'm Panda! Your eyes are freaky," he said.

"Kelp," The white-haired boy said. I tilted my head at him walking up to him pulling his scarf down, looking at the snake and fang symbol on his face.

"Ohhh, cursed speech huh? You must be an Inumaki right?" I asked he nodded.

"That's right, Toge Inumaki here is a curse speech user. He uses rice-ball ingredients to speak so he doesn't accidentally hurt someone," Dad explained.

"Cool, I'm Satsuki Kendo-Gojo. Just call me Satsuki so nothing is confusing. I'm the vessel for Shiryoku that's why you thought I was a curse, my eyes are 'freaky' because that's the form they become when he merges with me so I can use his cursed sight abilities, however, I was born with the Kendo reverse curse technique," I explained. "Now that this is done can I please go pass out in my bed?" The others apologised and I went to crash on my bed.

The next morning I trudged out, and into the classroom meeting Maki, Toge, and Panda who were already there talking about what they thought the class was gonna be like. I plopped myself in my seat, the chain of my scythes jingling as I sat down slamming my head into the wooden desk in front of me.

"What's wrong with you?" Maki asked, still on edge. I turned my head to look at her with exhausted mismatched eyes.

"I'm exhausted," I said. "That and now he's gonna make us spar all morning if he even shows up." I threw my arms up in frustration.

"Mustard leaf?" Toge asked.

"I'm fine thanks," I said. The other two looked at me like I had three heads

"You understand him?!" Maki asked, I nodded.

"It's not that hard to decipher if you think about the context he says stuff in, but even if I didn't my eyes allow me to read other people's thoughts so if he wants I can just establish a connection that way," I said.

Inumaki's eyes practically sparkled at my suggestion while he nodded frantically. I smiled softly at him, nodding and starting to sit up, but before I could do anything the door slammed open, and my father barged in grabbing me by the arm telling the others to follow us outside to the track training field.

"Before anything else I want all of you to run 65 laps around this track! Then we'll continue warm-ups," Dad said.

"Warm-ups! That's more like death," Maki sighed, Panda and Inumaki agreeing. I shrugged and started stretching my legs and other muscles, after a minute the others started joining me.

"So Gojo-"

"Just call me Satsuki Maki," I said.

"Ok, Satsuki, what grade are you?" She asked, I stared at her in confusion.

"I'm a first-year student like you, Maki," I said. She looked at me like I was an idiot.

"I mean your grade as a sorcerer, you moron," she said, slapping her head. I just looked at her as my father grabbed the back of my uniform telling me to start running while the others finished stretching.

"I'm a special grade because I hold a curse," I told her as I left running on the track.
