Shit. He messed up.

"I'm sorry, i had no intentions on making you feel uncomfortable." Geto apologizes.

You almost smiled. You didn't need to doubt what Okkotsu said- you knew you're one of the friends he mentioned. Wow, even after three months of you treating him like he's still a beginner to jujutsu and purposely ignoring him, he considers you as a friend?

Good for him.

Maybe you should start being friendly as well?

Back to the problem at hand..

You watch as Gojo interferes. He stood in between of his student and his former companion.

"Then why are you even here?"

Gojo ask the man, and Geto then gives an answer.

"To declare war." the man then looks away from Gojo, "Gather round, everyone! Open your ears and listen well!"

He exclaims. You raise a brow, still pissed at what he had said earlier.

"On the twenty-fourth of december, during the sunset! We shall perform a hyakku yakou!"

Geto announces to everyone. Your eyes slightly widen. A hundred demons night parade? How is that even possible?

"The place shall be the crucible of curses. Shinjuku, Tokyo, and the capital of jujutsu, Kyoto!"

'Crap.' you curse internally, clenching your palm around the drumsticks you held, 'Kamei!'

Your cousin really chose a bad time to enter the school, though it's not like anyone here knew that a psycho would land in the school grounds.

Or even, you know, expect to suddenly declare a war?

You take a deep breath. Had you forgotten that Kamei's the second strongest in the clan? Just below you. You don't have to worry about her since she can definitely defeat cursed spirit thrown her way.

'She'll be fine. She has her shikigamis and class backing her up.'

"A thousand curses will be released in each place, and their orders will be to kill the trash." Geto continues, "Unless you want to be painted on earth, then work to death to stop me."

"Let us curse eachother as much as we want!" Geto exclaims. As he was about to say something else, Nanako interrupts.

"Ah! Geto-sama, the store is closing!" she says, looking down on her phone.

Geto spares her a glance, "It's already that late? Sorry, satoru. These girls said they'd only come if they get to eat crepes at takeshita street."

"I'm gonna take my leave. Dear me, for a place so full of monkeys, what's even so great about..-"

Geto turns around, away from the first years and Gojo. As he was about to leave with the other people he brought along..

"You think i'll let you go?" Gojo asks.

Geto doesn't look back at the man, but instead, his cursed energy seems to grow stronger. Carefully, you reach behind you to remove the hand Inumaki has placed on your back.

Noticing what you're trying to do, the boy hesitantly lets you go.

"Come on, now.." Geto says.

A curse appears in front of Geto. You look around, seeing a few skeleton looking spirits surrounding you and your classmates.

"Yery well, everyone! See you on the battle field!" Geto says with a wave, grabbing onto the leg of the large bird. You assumed that is whay their small group used that for transportation.

You watch as they fly away.

"Y/N!"

Gojo calls to you, and you gulp. Is he really making you exorcise this thing when he can easily do it himself?

"Why make me kill it?!" you shout before clicking the roof of your tongue, "Fine. Whatever!"

While the rest of your classmates were busy eliminating the smaller curses around them, you place your attention back to the larger curse. Before the large spirit could raise its leg and use it to crush you, you already have your drumstick ready strike the floating taiko.

You focus on the cursed energy on it's body.

"..AAA?"

You hear the curses distorted voice as it's belly glowed. You raise a brows, surprised that it survived despite being hit with your technique once. A single strike contains hundreds of voltages-you didn't bother counting. Your jujutsu worked wonders.

You look around, noticing the open area.

'The curse absorbed the attack i did. How about i overwhelm it with cursed energy?'

You look over to Gojo, and him not knowing what you're about to do but knows that you're looking for approval, nods with a grin.

You knew why he didn't want to fight the large beast and instead makes sure that his other students are safe. Gojo doesn't want to destroy the college by using his technique- so he's counting on you and the others.

You strike your taiko once again. Though instead of shocking the curse..

From where he stood, Okkotsu suddenly feels a strong breeze pass him. Curious, he finishes off the curse in front of him before sparing your figure a glance.

You seem fine..

The others too..

Okkotsu then looks above, eyes slowly going wide as the sky begins to turn grey with clouds starting to cover the once blue sky. There's not a single drop of rain.

"Maki, what's-"

"Trust in Y/N!" Maki says while in the middle of a fight, "They won't hurt us!"

Okkotsu gulps nervously before continuing to eliminate all the remaining skeletons. A chill runs down his spine as the wind continues to blow.

You raise your stick, beginning to hit your taiko with full strength.

From the sky, lightning strikes the curse multiple times, but it seems to still be standing.

'Still not dead? Damn it!'

You grit your teeth, an overwhelming amount of cursed energy now radiating off you. You're going to use a lot more cursed energy than what you usually waste on missions-you can't have this curse walking towards the school anymore. It's too close for comfort.

"So annoying.."

You mutter.

You began to repeatedly hit your taiko, hand stinging when small volts of electricity shocks you. Nonetheless, you ignore the pain before continuing, the sounds of lightning striking the ground getting louder.

As it moves, you take a step away.

You hear Inumaki say from behind you as the curse raises it's leg to hopefully crush you under it's foot.

You briefly glance at the boy, "Thanks!"

You deliver the finishing blow to the curse with a few more strikes on your taiko, it's body popping with how much damage it received. Once you see it reduced to ashses, you quickly disable your technique, the drum beside you now disappearing.

You check on Gojo who previously stood beside you to see that he's now gone. You assume he had met up with principal yaga to discuss what happened.

You then turn to face your friends, seeing them finish the last group of skeletons.

The sky is also starting to clear up.

"Oh? Y/N's done!" Panda says, being the first to take out the curses around him, "That was quick."

"Hokori! You looked so coo..!"

Okkotsu praises with stars in his eyes while he places his katana back into it's sheath. You scoff, looking away from his to hide the small smile forming on your lips.

"Yeah, you did." Maki agrees with the boy, a grin on her face.

"Shake!" Inumaki agrees, voice sounding a little dry.

You scoff playfully, heart skipping a beat. It felt good having people notice your power; no backhanded compliments included.

It's just you and your classmates..

"That's because i'm the best."
