To get a bit of a headstart, you spent a good portion of the night on the couch, attempting to become aware of your cursed energy, and regulating it to a set output as Yaga had explained.  After actually trying, it wasn't long before the flaring energy came into view.  And it was only a little longer before you were easily able to control its output from a little to a lot.  Holding it in rather than letting it flow freely felt strange, it flowed over your body like a river. 

"It's getting late sweetheart."  Toji spoke from behind you, draping his arms over your shoulders. 

You couldn't stop the grin and little giggle from escaping as your focus broke, craning your head around.  "I think I'll catch on quick to this stuff, its kinda fun."

"Yeah?"  Toji noticed how your cursed energy didn't jump even after his intrusion.  You really were catching on quickly.  "How did the meeting go?"

"Good I think.  Gojo is going to be there Saturday."

"Eh?"

"Yaga said he has stake in it, since he's apart of the major families.  Anything to ensure we keep Megumi is a good thing.  So play nice."  You sent him a look over your shoulder.

Toji grunted, leaning his forehead on your shoulder.

You leaned back into his hold, "If you're not going to keep killing them, might as well let the hatred go.  Granted, your family is the exception."

He snorted.


After realizing Yaga hadn't given you a time to come back you decided to try early morning.  It would be sad to leave Megumi every evening.

You were becoming familiar with the entrance portion of the school, but there were so many winding trails, surely they wouldn't mind if you explored a bit?

It was a peaceful place, a gentle breeze complimenting the nice day. 

"Meow!"

You paused mid step, watching a black kitten plop itself in front of you. 

"Cute...are you a stray or do you live here?"  You kneeled down, holding a finger out.  It sniffed you hesitantly, nuzzling its little head over your hand.  "You're so little."  Carefully, you picked it up, holding it against your chest, "Wanna explore with me for a bit?"

After more walking you came upon an open door, peering into the dark room. 

"Y/n."  Yagas voice boomed.

You jumped slightly, looking further in to find him sitting with a...bunch of stuffed animals surrounding him?

"Uhh, yes?"  You fully stepped inside, the place only lit with candles and the sliver of sun.  "Are you...knitting?"

"Yes."

"Hm.  That's cool...so are we gonna start?"  You were still trying to absorb such a person knitting stuffed animals.  Not the hobby you'd expected.

"What are you holding?"

"Oh," You walked closer, showing him the little kitten, "Is it yours?  It was wandering around."

He stood, rubbing its head with the back of his finger, "I've never seen it before.  Must be a stray."  You laughed internally at how big and shiny his eyes got. 

"Wanna hold it?"

"Hm."  The kitten was just fine with being passed along, as long as it was able to cuddle up to someone. 

"Your cursed energy seems to be controlled."  Yaga noticed.

You nodded proudly, "Yup!  I spent alot of the night practicing."
