When you awoke you were alone, hand rubbing over your face as you sat up. On Gojo's pillow was a sticky note reading, Training in dojo, smoothie on dresser, love!

Sighing softly, you threw your uniform on the bed before walking to the bathroom.

~•~•~

Gojo was taking a small break from training, legs crossed on the dojo floor, back straight and eyes closed. Hopefully this meditation would ease the thoughts and worries crawling into his head.

Just as his mind began going quiet a familiar cursed energy was felt outside the door, only a second before it was opened. "You're up earlier than I thought." He grinned, looking over his shoulder. "Feeling sore, princess?"

You rolled your eyes, sitting in front of him and sipping the drink. Gaze scouting his face you questioned, "What's wrong?"

His brows furrowed, nose wrinkling up.  "Those old bastards. It would be easier for me to move around without worrying about them finding out, if they haven't already. They'll probably get in the way of our plans too."

"Probably?" You laughed sarcastically, "They definitely will."

"I've been thinking about taking some...preventive measures." He grumbled.

"Killing them." You rose your brows at his dancing around the obvious. "I'm for it, that's probably obvious. It's way overdue."

"I want to ask the students before making any moves." He added, "They deserve to be included in the decision."

You thought for a moment before nodding, "Sure, but only the second years. You know how Hakari and Kirara will respond, and Yuji doesn't need to make a decision like that."

"I would ask you to round up your ducklings, but I'm going to do some training with Yuta. I'm sure he's with the rest of them, so I'll ask." He grinned as you rolled your eyes, placing a quick kiss onto your lips.

"Let me know their answers." You called as he left.

"You got it!" The door was shut behind him, leaving you alone in the room.

You had your own training to do, and that included being able to perceive your own soul. Yuki had left instructions in her journal. Relax, feel the cursed energy flow around your form. Feel it flow inside. In your lungs, in your heart, and just below guarded by the sternum, feel the soul.

Easier said than done. The sun was slowly making way to its peak, and then back down while you paced the room before trying again and again.

You layed on the floor with a deep exhale, eyes shutting. Your fist rose, hitting your chest hard enough to make you gasp. Inside there was the slightest tremble. Zeroing in on that place there was a circular area you couldn't seem to map out, like a hole in your chest. You could sense its perimeter, but not the inside. Hopefully, with a little more work, that would be enough to be able to find it in others.

~•~•~Earlier, with Gojo and Yuta~•~•~

"If you pass, I'd like to take over your body." Yuta said seriously, eyes narrowed.

"Why do you sound kinda pissed?" Gojo asked with dry amusement.

"You don't mind?" Yuta pressed. "Everyone was really against it except Shoko."

"Uh, I'm not gonna lose, so I don't really care." Gojo shrugged. "I'm more pissed that Shoko didn't give a rats ass. Bet she would have if we were talking about Y/n."
