"There's a... curse here." Megumi states, "You liar!" Kugisaki and Yuuji exclaim.

"This isn't Roppongi" Yuji exclaims, disappointment filling his tone. "It's a cruel move to toy with country folk!" Kugisaki adds.

Both of them look at me, encouraging me to complain to my father as well. I just sigh.

"There's a big cemetery nearby. That plus an abandoned building equals a curse."  I explain, Kugisaki continuing her tantrum behind us. 

"So, they pop up more often around graves. Wow, how'd you know that Karma? We only got here yesterday and we haven't learnt anything yet." Yuji exclaims. "It's not the cemetery itself. It's the fact that people associate cemeteries with fear and uneasiness." Megumi explains further.

"Right, it was the same for schools too. Wasn't it?" Yuji asks. "Wait, hold up here. He didn't even know that yet?" Kugisaki asks. "To be honest..." Megumi starts.

"They swallowed a special grade cursed object?! GROSS! That's so disgusting and unsanitary I wanna hurl! No way! No way! No way! No way!" Kugisaki gags, shifting away from us. "THAT'S NOT NICE!" Yuji yells at her. "I agree with her, sorry, Karma." Megumi says, turning to me with a soft look in his eyes.

Everyone turns to look at me, to see I was already looking at my shoes. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to offend you." Kugisaki explains, "What?! So, you aimed that only me?!" Yuji questions obviously hurt. "Yes! I want to be her friend!"

I feel a tap on my shoulder, I look up to see none other than my dad. I give him a sad smile, he gives me a sympathetic look. "Umm, I actually threw up the finger not too long ago, so yeah..." I explain to the three. My dad starts cackling with laughter, I turn to him and tilt my head in confusion. "I gave that finger to Yuji and he ate it!" He laughs, I pause and start laughing hard.

He stands back up and stands in front of me once again. I look to the side, to see Megumi-san already looking at me, he gives me a small smile and mouths 'sorry, i didn't mean to offend you.' I mouth back 'it's fine, i guess i need to get used to it.'

"I want to know what the four of you are capable of. Juust think of this as a kind of "field test". Nobara, Yuuji, and Karma go exorcise the curse inside that building." Gojo instructs.

Kugisaki groans, I believe in disgust at having to work with the two people who ate a cursed finger, although I threw it up!...

"Hold on, I thought only curses could exorcise curses. Karma and I can't use Jujutsu yet." Yuji says. "If you look at it, Karma's a Gojo descendant and you are basically half a curse already. Cursed energy flows through your body. Although, controlling that energy isn't something you can learn overnight. So, use this." Gojo explains.

I look towards Megumi, he looks uncertain and displeased at this action... and actually a little bit scared. While, Yuji looks at the sheathed weapon with excitement and wonder.

"This... is 'Slaughter Demon'" Dad says, handing it to Yuji.

'It has a name? pfft- it's a pretty cool name though... I look down at my katana thinking if I should name it as well...'

"Karma-chan, don't worry I didn't forget about you. Here, this is thun-" I cut dad off, "Umm. Would this work instead?" I ask as I unsheathe my katana,  everyone stares at me in disbelief.

Everyone elses POV:

*WHY DOES SHE HAVE A KATANA ON HER PERSON? AND WHAT IS WITH THAT INNOCENT LOOK IN HER EYES?!*

Back to Karma's POV:

"U-uh, can I see that for a second?" Dad asks. I hand him my katana as he stares at with wide eyes. (She can see his eyes through their blindfolds)

"K-Karma, where'd you get this?" His voice shakes as he questions me. "I've had it ever since I was given to Ms. Mitsuki. She said that mom left it in my carrier when she gave me up." I explain.

Dad stares at the weapon, tears brimming his eyes.

"Haha, this'll work perfectly, Karma-chan." He finally answers, he hands back the weapon with every ounce of care he can muster.

"Ugh, how lame. "Slaughter Demon"? C'mon let's get this done with." Kugisaki groans. "Oh, one more thing. Don't let Sukuna out, okay? If you use him, he'll get rid of all the curses in this area. But, anyone nearby will get dragged in." Dad explains. "You got it, I won't let him out." Yuji replies. "Would you hurry it up?!" Kugisaki exclaims, walking away. "Alright, alright." Yuji mumbles, running after us.

"Have fun, okay, Karma-chan you need to go too; just stick with Nobara, kay?" Dad says, I nod at him before finding myself walking along side Kugisaki.

"Wah! When did you get there?!" She exclaims, cowering slightly. "Just then, sorry if I scared you. Let me introduce myself properly. Hello, my name is Gojo Karma. It's a pleasure to meet you." I say, bowing slightly. "Hehe, Kugisaki Nobara, it's a pleasure to meet you too. I can't wait to be your friend." She gives me the most beautiful smile as we stop at a stair case.
