The Strongest and Her [Gojo Satoru Fanfic] [Jujutsu Kaisen]

12 : It's ok to cry

"Akari, it's time for school."

Kimura Akane said as she slided the curtains from the window on one side, letting the morning sunlight peeked into their shared bedroom. The little girl sleeping on the bed groaned a little as the sunlight gently touched her face. She tugged the bedsheet on her face, shielding herself from the unwanted light. Akane chuckled at her sister, finding her cute.

"Wake up, dear sister. Don't you want to go to school today?"

"Oneechan, I'm sleepy..."

Akari mumbled as she peeked at her sister from the bedsheet. Her drowsy eyes looking lazily at her sister. Akane placed both of her hands on her hips and smiled, her eyes forming crescent shape.

"Do you wanna bath in the bed?"

"...No, I'm up!"

The little girl exclaimed as she immediately sat up. She didn't wanted to anger her sister and get drowned in water in the bed. Akane chuckled and ruffles Akari's head a little.

"Get ready, I'm making pancakes for you."

She said and the little girl nodded her head. Akane left to the kitchen while Akari went into the bathroom and started brushing her teeth. The girl felt something weird in the house. She glanced in the mirror, looking at her teeth but something flashed in her eyes. The reflection on the mirror showed her the living room door. The doorknob having something strange hanging onto itself. When Akari looked back and saw the doorknob straight, her eyes widened. The thing hanging onto the doorknob was radiating strange energy, the same kind those disgusting beings had.

In the kitchen, Akane mixed the pancake batter into the bowl. Placing the cooking pan on the stove, she was about to lit it up when she saw her little sister cautiously approaching the doorknob of the living room. It took a moment for her to realise that perhaps Akari was looking at the curse energy radiating from the amulet, the one Gojo gave her.

'So she finally noticed it... should I ask her about it...or not?'

Akane thought as she watched ber little sister nervously looking at the amulet. After a minute, Akane opened the drawer of the kitchen counter and pulled out the pair of glasses. Removing the apron and placing it on the counter, Akane walked towards her sister.

"Akari, something happened?"

Akane's voice made the little girl flinch, startling her. Akari looked back at her sister, shaking her head as a no. Akane sighed as she crouched down beside Akari, somewhat matching her height.

"You sure? You've been looking at the door for a while."

"It's n-nothing oneechan, the doorknob was looking pretty!"

Akane watched her enthusiastically utter those words and her eyes softened. Her sister lied like a professional to her, making her heart ache. She realised that Akari must've tried many times to tell her the things only she saw, but she herself ignored her sister's thoughts, thinking that maybe Akari was hallucinating things.

"...Is that so.."

Akane mumbled as she pulled out the glasses from behind and wore them, now seeing the world exactly the way her sister did. She saw the amulet covered in tamed blue energy, like a flame enveloping it.

"Akari, the amulet on the doorknob is pretty right?"

"Y-yes! It's a lot pretty!!"

"And the blue thing surrounding it?"

"T-that is pretty too-......."

Akane glanced at her, watching the girl's eyes widened at the realisation. Poor girl's eyes slightly trembled, horror escaping her eyes as she realised, her sister just saw something only she could see.
