WellSpring of Curses - Jujutsu Kaisen

June 2018

June 2018. Namikaze Haku was face to face with Gojo Satoru. Seeing her stirred those nostalgic memories within him. He wanted to reach out and touch her, tell her he was intending to fulfill his promise. Instead he tucked his hands in his pocket and decided to treat this as their first meeting. "Well, not a bad cursed technique you got there. You a sorcerer too?"

Haku pulled herself from her dazed state. Head throbbing with memories that wanted to burst out. they remained sealed in her mind. She sighed, nothing she could do about it. For now, she needed to remain alert; who was this man and what was his intention. "Um... of a sort. Technically yes. Who are you anyway?"

Suddenly, Gojo's phone rang. He held his finger up to her lips. "Hold that thought a moment!" He turned away and answered his phone. "Oh, hey principle....mmhm.....Missing finger......Great....Extra mission....." He glanced at Haku. "Oh, that one's easy! Alright see ya later!" He Hung up the phone, sliding it back into his pocket, and turned back to Haku. "Alright! Well I am Gojo Satoru, and you must be Namikaze Haku yes?"

Haku took a step back, eyes narrowed. Gojo? That was the top sorcerer clan right? "Yes. That's me. What of it?" Gojo or not, she had to be wary of the blindfolded man before her. Grandpa Toshijin had always warned her of her position; the Wellspring was desired for their power by sorcerers and curses alike.

Gojo shrugged, slouching down again so he was talking at her level. "Just that you gotta come with me." He noticed Haku step back and continued. "See I am with Jujutsu Tech and we got word that Old man Namikaze Toshijin kicked the bucket. Barrier around the shrine vanished this morning. He was in charge of guarding a certain curse, The Wellspring, i.e you! Apparently resealing you two years ago failed. So Old man Namikaze spent his last 2 years holed up in some old shrine keeping you locked away and hidden. Even I was unaware of the location or that the sealing had failed in the first place. Thus you're here and we meet!" Gojo finished with a flashy pose.

Haku was overwhelmed. Her head was spinning and she stared at the man confused. If he knew about Toshijin's death, he was likely really with Jujutsu Tech and working on the word of the authorities of the Jujutsu world. Some of the story was a bit different then she had been told however. "Um.....I was told this was the first I had woken since the Heian era. Otherwise, I think you've got it covered."

Gojo rubbed his chin. "Well I guess he left out the fine details. No need in you asking questions the higher ups would never answer anyway."

Haku raised her hand "So...ummm....Maybe say you picked me up at the shrine. I'm not exactly supposed to leave. The barrier was gone so I thought it would be fine. No longer hidden and all. Still, it might cause trouble."

Gojo laughed. "Alright, I won't tell." He then storted poking Haku in the shoulder. "But man, you just ditched the old guys body and ran! WOW!" He teased. 

Haku stomped her foot, her face slightly red. "No, there isn't a phone at the shrine and I don't have the one you can carry around, so I kind of needed to find one. Not that I even know who to call. I kind of got distracted by well...everything and then that lady was following off a cursed spirit, so I had to save her!"

Gojo threw his arms. "Oh well, it doesn't matter now. If you don't mind we do need to get going. See I'm a teacher and it seems one of my students may be in a bit of trouble. We're gonna travel fast so hold on!" He wrapped an arm around Haku's waist and started dashing off. No time for the bullet train.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haku was reeling with slight dizziness from how fast they had moved. She had heard bullet trains were fast, but she was sure this guy moved faster. Gojo held her by the waist until she got her footing. He then let go, bending down to speak to a black haired boy who was sitting on the ground, heavily injured. "So Megumi, what's the situation?" Gojo asked the boy.
