A/N : with the previous chapters done it should be uphill and full of action so hopefully enjoy!

I was currently sat in a room with the 1st and 2nd years being brought up to speed about an upcoming event known as the kyoto sister exchange. I had already missed the whole confrontation that happened a bit earlier as I was privately training with Gojo.

"So what's the plan?" This question came in particular from a pretty tall 2nd year, with green hair and a fairly stable aura. "The group formation seems to be what we predicted but now we have two extra people"

"Wait two? I'm the only new guy" I asked in confusion.

"Yuji died for a while"

What?

"Well it depends what Yuji and Y/n can do"

"Um...I'm fast and I'm kind of a fist fighter for now"

"Punching, Kicking..."

At these comments the 2nd years deadpanned.

"Uh...I have a curse technique its still being developed but I can hold my own..."

Megumi quicky intervened as a saving grace. "I don't know what Yuji has been up to since he's been dead but if Kyoto and Tokyo all fought him at once without curse energy, Yuji would win. In terms of Y/n I haven't seen him fight after his training but according to Gojo he's not anything to be undermined either"

"I guess that's something especially since Kyoto has the new girl too" Panda had a thoughtful look.

"So its sorted then"

~{¥}~

Maintaining a quick pace we advanced through the woods of jujustsu high we were following a simple plan of allogating man to man structure for each opponent as it stood I was allogated against a new 1st year from Kyoto. With our only lead being that she had a curse technique I was left wondering what to expect in my near future.

Trailing behind Megumi's shikigami a curse came into veiw but quickly following came an intense rumbling as a solidly built figure of muscle and raw power burst into view, taking out the curse. Through descriptions previously traded I identified this figure as Aoi Todo. As planned we all split up as Yuji stayed back to take the fight and stall Todo.

"You weren't kidding that guy's crazy. Is he on steroids or something?"

"Yeah, I've alredy seen him but he really is a monster"

Our group continued our transverse through the forest and with a nod from Maki, I broke off from the main horde, running eastwards and take up my role. The plan was for me to take a long route to Megumi's position and to act as a failsafe to anyone in my vicinity.

Running towards my location I felt settled, all features and prospects aligned, my pace set and my gravity center. A strong sense of control pulsing through my veins obtained through my intense training with Gojo an experience I didn't regret but would rather not do over. The trees provided a strong smell of nature and life, which left me exhilerated hopeful almost.

The peace continued for a prolonged amount of time and just when I thought I was taking a so far undisturbed path to Megumi my intuition spiked and my instincts switched on...by reflex I evaded my way out from the path of a skyborn axe-kick. Before I could regain my bearings, the anonymous sender wasted no time in spinning back for a dropkick combined with a burst of curse energy, raising my arms in a cross, I was thrust backwards peeling away marsh hooked by fmy heel. The sudden disruption of peace sent my heart thumping, my cautionsness spiking but my mental state spiralling from the sudden boost of adrenaline.

"Being nice I would say your reflexes are about borderline commendable"

My eye-level settled to meet the stare of the brunette in front of me, she was a few inches taller than me and had her unifrom similarly customized to Nobara's. Despite the coldness to her words she carried a slight smile, an unsettling combo. Taking response to her taunt I shrugged.

"They do the job. Normally I would ask if you have any bite to your bark but I felt that much already"

"Sweet talk doesn't work on me"

"I wasn't-"

"Satoko Mori"

"Y/n Oki-" I start but before I could finish my phrase she closed the gap with a tornado roundhouse kick charged to the brim with curse energy. 

Zoning in, I evade her attack with a back handspring attempting to put up space back between us. I chuckle, and slide back into my stance. I spun into two kicks to which she dodged effortlessly, not stopping for anybody I feint a right hook and follow up with a left once again she saw through not even flinching at my fake. I resigned to myself that she wasn't easily fooled or she had good intuition or both. With this though fresh in my head, I block yet another kick not anticipating the follow up, her fist connected with my jaw the curse energy busrting into the air. I stumble back, calming my breathing.

Satoko burst forward, as I weave to the side. Her heels swings up in a diagonal handspring, giving me space to grab her torso and spin her into the floor. But with another accurate prediction, making use of her other leg she pushed off my takedown. So far the fight felt like an absolute stalemate. But for now I had a gauge on what her technique may be.

"What's up with that then?, you're predicting my moves, a bit too well", I snide and circle her as she chuckles.

"So you've caught up, huh?" She matches my movements also moving in a circle. "Doesn't matter what you throw at me, I'll always be a step ahead, in essence this is a one sided fight." She brushes her hair out of the way and begin closing the gap. I respond rushing forward in tandem.

"Cocky much?" I let off a low laugh. "Well I was trained by the king of pride himself, you can spit crap as much as you want.". Her admition singled out a theory in my head, she wasn't just reacting to my attacks she was fore seeing them. Dodging them as effeciently as possible and lining up for an attack in the most advantageous position, whatever ability she was using it allowed her to sense the near future. Taking this as a chance to level things off, I activate my technique feeling its power string through my body I changed from a defensive form to unflitered offense.

"The zeal to keep reaching forward, a selfish act but the rudements of jujutsu."

Gojo's words rang through my head once more and my tempo rose too a different rythm. I moved to start round three.

A/N - Yeah, so I didn't update this in forever so I decided to go on and get it out there. Thanks for flicking through this and I hope it gets better as I improve in writing and maybe consistency...😭. PS- I seriously need to find another word for chuckle. (Edited)
