04.

Okkotsu and Inumaki were quietly walking back to Jujutsu high. The train ride was about 30 minutes.

"You know...she's going to find out we're all sorcerers one day." Okkotsu spoke up, grabbing Inumaki's attention. "Tonight was a close call."

"Salmon." Inumaki agreed, slightly nodding his head. Grabbing his phone out of his pocket, he quickly wrote down his thoughts in his notes app and showed Okkotsu.

'That thing that almost kidnapped her was a cursed spirit. She saw it, right? So she can see curses..?'

"I guess so. We'd probably have to test it out again just to make sure." Okkotsu replied and Inumaki nodded once again.

Inumaki observed the boy next to him. He seemed to be looking down at his hand, fidgeting with the ring on his finger. Inumaki said nothing and the two walked quietly once again.

They eventually reached the building and were almost immediately greeted by their teacher.

"Well look who finally came back. It's past 10pm... surely the mission didn't take that long?" Gojo had stood in front of them.

"Oh, no it didn't take that long... we just encountered another cursed spirit on our way back." Okkotsu looked up at the tall man, although Gojo didn't look convinced.

"And that encounter caused you to lose your white sweater, Okkotsu?" The white haired man raised an eyebrow, clearly observing the expressions of his students.

"Uhh...yeah..?" Okkotsu agreed, not really sure if he should've said the whole story or not.

"C'mon Okkotsu. I know everything." Gojo stood proud, wearing a teasing grin. "Finally met Y/n?"

His words shocked both Inumaki and Okkotsu. They looked to eachother before looking back up at their teacher.

"Huhh?!? How do you..."

"You guys aren't exactly quiet when talking about her.. I once heard the mention of a person whose name was Y/n and wanted in on the gossip to who she was." Gojo shrugged his shoulders as if it was normal. Okkotsu mentally slapped himself for unwilling letting his teacher in on the groups new friend.

"So...how much do you know?" Okkotsu was almost scared to ask, he hoped Gojo only knew the surface information.

"I told you. I know everything!" Gojo wore a proud grin. "—well except for what happened today when you guys met. But from your missing sweater, I can only assume you gave it to her?" His grin only grew, already knowing he was right after seeing the two avoid eye contact.

"I'm so telling the others! See you tomorrow morning!" Gojo chuckled to himself and quickly left before they could protest.

Okkotsu let out a sigh, knowing he won't hear the end of it from the others tomorrow. Both he and Inumaki walked quietly back to their dorms for the night.

"YOU WHATT??" Nobara yelled out, her attention shifting from gojo to Okkotsu once she heard the information.

It was the next morning and everyone was gathered together for breakfast. Everything was going fine until Gojo decided to pop in and spill the details.

"AND YOU WEREN'T GOING TO TELL US??" Itadori and Panda spoke at the same time.

"Well now thanks to Yuta we at least have more of a reason to meet up with her." Maki sipped on her coffee, still in the midst of waking up.

"That's true, and I am so going to tease her about this." Nobara grinned widely, already grabbing her phone to hurriedly text Y/n.

"Is she prettier in pers—"

"Yuta! You never told me you have a thing fo—"

Both itadori's and Panda's comments were cut off by fushiguro speaking up.

"Can we talk serious? Why are we just skipping over the fact that she was targeted....by a curse might I add." Everyone went silent, taking his words into deep consideration.

"Well....if she can see curses, she can always attend jujutsu high.." itadori suggested

"I doubt it'll come to that but if it does, I want it to be her choice." Okkotsu spoke up, Inumaki nodding with his statement to agree.

"Um I don't really want to talk about this. See you guys at training." Nobara politely got up and waved to the group, soon leaving the room. Maki followed not too long after her.

"Yeah...let's not get too ahead of ourselves. It was just one encounter anyway.." Panda also spoke up. The table was relatively quiet but they all seemed to agree and soon joined both Nobara and Maki at training.
