Pinky promise

Beginnings

Alone.

Alone is what I was ever since my dad left me and my sister to rot in this empty house, filled with burdens.

He ran away with his woman leaving us with no contact with him, personally I wouldn't want to contact him even if I could but I think my sister would. She is kind hearted unlike me. Being nice isn't something I excel in.

I started to hate myself because I would always wonder why he didn't love me enough to stay to watch me grow up. I guess it doesn't matter anymore but whenever I think about it too much I get ill. A lump in my throat forms and my whole body starts shaking. When people ask what's wrong I say it's Ebola. That usually makes them leave me alone.

I promised myself I would never let anyone in again. I would never succumb to the sorrow of attachment.

What I mean by alone. I always had my sister around but it wasn't the same. It didn't feel like she was really with me, like she was on the other side of a glass pane blocking my voice from her ever hearing my calls.

Soon after I turned 6 a tall man with black glasses and white hair approached me in the street leading to my house.

"Are you Megumi Fushiguro?" The man said while tilting his head to the left ever so slightly.

"Yeah. Why? Who are you?"

"Well aren't you a curious one! If you have to know, my name is Gojo Satoru."

"Alright. What are you doing here, or actually why are you talking to me."

Gojo pokes my forehead as he says,"No need to have an attitude kid, I'm here to tell you that you are a part of the Zenin clan. In 4 years you will be sold to the clan."

"Over my dead body I won't-"

He puts his hand on his hip and shushes me "You didn't let me finish! I'm giving you the choice. Do you want to be sold to the clan and work for them or, come with me and I teach you to be a jujutsu sorcerer. We sorcerers expel cursed spirits in this world, or, in other words we even the score between humans, and curses."

I thought it over for a minute and decided that if I had even an ounce of choice in my future I would want to be the one calling the shots. I don't want to be the one left out and left behind anymore.

"Alright. I'm in. But you have to take my sister too."

Gojo gives an annoyed sigh "fine go get her and your stuff and follow me."

I walk into the house and look into the kitchen to see freshly baked pancakes. She always was a great cook. I took one and walked up the stairs. Up the velvet carpet and the cyan walls. The same carpet I hated for the stench it gave and the same walls I loathed for the grime. "Goodbye stupid walls. Goodbye gross carpet"

When I reached the top I saw Tsumiki praying in her room. I lightly stepped to the door and peered inside listening in.

She whispered as she prayed, "please gods. Buddha, send us a message that you are watching over us. That you haven't totally abandoned Megumi and I like everyone else has."

It mad me angry hearing this. I hated all the people who disregarded us like we didn't matter. Like we wanted to be all alone.We are only a couple of kids.

Sometimes I'm told I have a harsh tounge. I'm also told I'm bright for my age. That a normal 6 year old would never think of the intricate things that I do. Although I don't care much for being bright or doing great things when I'm older. I just wanted to be in control of the things I do.

I shake the dumb ramblings in my head away and I walk into Tsumiki's room "Pack your things we are moving."

"Huh? Megumi what's going on.?"

"Long story short we are apart of a clan and will be sold off so a teacher at a jujitsu school came to take us in."

"Oh. Well what do I pack?"

I grab the doorframe and turn my head to it "Everything. I never want to come back so get everything you don't want to leave."

After we packed Gojo took us on the journey to his house and explained to us that it would only be me going to the school when I come of age and until then he would be watching over not just me but now Tsumiki.

We settle in and get unpacked. I look at the walls and windows free of grime and mold. I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders in this new home. I get undressed and shower before bed.

As I lay on my mattress I think of what my life would be like if I was born with normal parents. If I didn't belong to a clan. If dad had never ran away. I shake the thoughts away and instead think of how different life will be as I fall asleep.

This is my first ever JJK fanfic and I'm so excited for it! I realized that Megumi's thoughts were just a little bit too advanced for a 6 year old but come on, if cursed spirits exist than so can genius 6 year olds. Also sorry about the absence of itadori he will most likely be in the next chapter but I'm not totally sure how I want their meeting to go also sorry if not everything is perfect in running on only seeing season 1 and 2 of the anime and I have 1, and 16-20 of the manga. I know random. But anyways see y'all next chapter!!
