INCOUNTER

It's been 2 weeks since you ran into Yuji and his friends into the restaurant and after that you somehow kept running into him. You knew this could not be a mere coincidence. You thought of talking to him tonight but for now you needed to call your home. This was now not only strange but suspicious too. Your mother did not called you after you moved to Tokyo. None of them called. You were on you way to the stairs when you bumped into someone. You apologized immediately and when you looked up it was none other than Suguru Geto. You were shocked. When you first saw him you thought you had mistaken and it was someone else but it was really him. But Satoru's memory was something else. According to his memory Suguru Geto was supposed to be dead. This was not making sense at all. The other thing you noticed was scar on his head. It was not present in the memory you saw. You were about to say something but Suguru turned away mumbling something about people being annoying and not knowing their places. You just stood there for about a minute processing what happened and then your phone buzzed and it was you mom.

You picked up the call immediately and said, ''Hey mom how are you, how is everyone, is everything okay? You never called after I moved out-''

''Hey honey I am fine, I am sorry I got caught up in some work, how is everything there?'' Your mom asked, she sounded exhausted. Her voice was low and kind of urgent as if she was talking to you secretly.

''Yes everything is good here, I even ran into Yuji here, is dad good? Can you pass him the phone?'' you asked again hoping your mom will give the phone to your father.

'' We- Well I am sorry honey I can't he is really busy these days I will let him know when he comes home, listen I have to go for now it's almost time for your brother to come home'' She said and cut off the call immediately.

''But mom-'' You were about to protest but she was gone.

Now you knew something was not right. You needed to go to your home. What in the world is happening. Why this change all of a sudden? You opened the door of your apartment and you went straight to couch and crashed into it. Today was not exhausting as it was on first day since you were now kind of used to this schedule but the thing that mentally drained you was your home. And running into Suguru was just adding into your stress. One thing you felt like was the Suguru you saw in Satoru's memory and the Suguru you, yourself encountered were two whole different people. They were not same you felt it in your gut. You took a mental note to ask Satoru about his long lost friend of course he was not going to tell you everything just like that but trying won't hurt anyone.

You were about to go change and the moment you entered your bed room, your eyes fell on the box your mother gave you. You remembered your mother telling you to read the diaries, so you freshen yourself up, made yourself coffee and took that box with you to the living room and started to read it. The diaries were kept in neat manner and it was kept in a ascending order of the years. First few were kinda boring but you did not skipped any of the pages but things took an interesting turn when you opened the fourth diary. The previous one were mostly description of what actually were their jujutsu powers since your clan was the only one in which each individual had different powers and techniques. But in the forth diary it was mentioned the user, your ancestor had power to see far into future. He was the one to see the assassination of the clan and tell everyone. But others being too confident about their powers dismissed him. He was the youngest of them all so it was almost impossible for him to convince anyone.

After some time the assassination started and by this time he already left with his wife and kids. One thing he did was to take all the diaries of his own ancestor so that he could continue this kind of a tradition of having it all written down.

You were engrossed into reading when suddenly your phone rang and when you looked at you screen it was none other than him. Satoru has been calling you almost everyday since that encounter. You always tried to ignore the calls but he called until you picked up. You knew it was useless to ignore him so you picked up and said

''Now what Mr. Gojo?'' to which he asked again the same question he asked

''Do you have any book or record of your own bloodline?''

The direct question surprised you. Why is he asking about it? Why now?

''Why?'' You asked.

''Well I did a little bit investigation and I found that your clan was almost assassinated so your family sending you to Tokyo does not make a real sense. Unless.'' Satoru hesitated a bit.

''Unless?'' You asked fearing he would say something you realized long time ago but never wanted to accept it.

''Unless someone from your own family wants you dead.'' He replied.

You were quite. Your brain stopped working the moment he said that. Dead. Why would your own family wants you to die? Your own parents? And all of a sudden it kind of started to make sense. Them being distant all of a sudden, not checking on you, your mother calling you but it felt she called you secretly. And the most important thing your mother giving you that tailsman. You started to play with that tailsman on you neck with your hand without knowing. This habit was new one and you only did it when you were nervous. But if your mother wanted you dead then she would not look out for you like this. You were way too quite so Satoru asked

''You there?''

To which you replied, ''Yeah I am, just need a moment.''

''It's okay, meet me in that sushi place in an hour.'' He said and before you could protest or say anything he hung up.

So now you really did not had any other choice but to meet at the sushi place. When you arrived at the restaurant Satoru was already waiting for you. You sat down in front him and asked why did he wanted to meet you.

''Let's order something to eat first.'' He said. You were starving so you did not protested plus having sushi when you do not have to pay is much tastier.

Both of you gave your order and while you waited he asked you the direct question

''So tell me Ms. Asagiri what exactly is your jujutsu technique?'' You were taken aback by this question.

'''Why are you asking now?'' You asked him.

''Well I have this theory which might be a little crazy but if it is true then you, yourself are in grave danger.'' He replied while smirking. Well he does have a habit of smirking. ALWAYS.

''Well honestly I really am not sure. On the name of keeping the clan safe and trying not to die I never got to use and know what might be my true cursed energy is. I did practiced a lot for the 'just in case' case but I knew it was not enough. Father forbade me from using it for so long that sometimes I feel like I have lost the connection with my own cursed energy. And now they all are avoiding me-'' You replied him truthfully and got a little bit carried on and almost told him what has been going on in your family.

''Hmm, that's strange. I mean I get the idea of protecting the clan but not letting you use your own cursed techniques does not make any sense to me at all.'' He said

''And you are suggesting what?'' you asked him.

''For now I am not suggesting anything at all, but to be honest I do not think that it is safe for you to be here in Tokyo. Especially when you have to save your clan.'' He replied.

You knew what he meant. He might not say it directly but you were not an idiot. You knew something was wrong but have a hint form him was the reality check you needed.

Your father wanted you dead.
