 The next day comes, and Yelena finds herself at the library to search for anything that would give clues such as records back in the Heian Era. She would only look for ones that would mention about the five, but there was hardly any and even if there was, the description would be anonymous and vague.

This made her click her tongue in distaste, and settled in hoping that retales of Sukuna's past reign would hopefully mention his encounters with them. "Damn, there's hardly anything useful here." she curses under her breath, slamming a book shut and putting it back on the shelves.

"Either that or they are hiding something from those old bastards..." she grumbled.

Then she received a text from Gojo.

'Any luck from the library?' he asked her in text. She was quick to respond back within seconds.

'Nothing. Were you able to find anything about the curse?' she questioned him in the message.

'Surprisingly I did, which is amazing in itself, those bastards are trying to hide something. Um also are you familiar with The Queen of Curses?' He texted.

Yelena instantly frowns at that. "Queen of Curses...?" she mutters, completely confused. The only Queen of Curses they all knew is Rika, who is a curse attached to a second-year student known as Yuuta who is in Africa at the moment.

'Queen of Curses? What does this have to do with Rika?' she replied.

'Not Rika. Apparently, there was another Queen of Curses back in the day before Rika.' Gojo responds back instantly.

'Before Rika?' She responded in shock.

'Yeah and she looks eerily similar to you.' Gojo says to her.

'Define similar.' Yelena asks, feeling skeptical about this allegedly original Queen of Curses being similar to her.

'So I managed to find some old-ass brushwork, and though it's mostly faded and all but the woman in it looks exactly like you. The hair and the face and all that. Only difference was the tattoos. Hold on, I'll send a pic of it.' he responds to her. Within a few seconds, Gojo sends a quick picture of the painting he had found for her to see it herself.

Yelena didn't know how to feel about this.

It's true that the artwork looks faded, but she can barely make out a woman wearing a really exquisite looking kimono with her long copper hair out and her making a familiar looking hand sign near her chest. She could even make out what looks like the outline of a lotus flower in the center of the forehead.

'That's fucking weird as shit.' was the only response Yelena can respond back with.

'Yeah but the thing is they know something they don't want you to know. Although this is just a theory, what if she was you?' He says to her.

The question struck an odd chord within her. There is this sudden feel of chillness around her, almost like something deep in her gut that is catching onto what he is putting out there.

'What makes you think she and I are the same?' she asks.

'That hand sign she made is exactly like yours; Your domain expansion. Plus, don't the tattoos she owns are the exact ones that would appear on your arms?' he continues.

'But she's a curse, while I'm human.' Yelena rebuttals. There was a moment of her staring at the three dots from Gojo likely coming up with a response before sending.

After a minute or two, he finally sends it.

'It's possible that reincarnation is at play here.' his message reads.
