Chapter 1: Chapter 1 metempsychosis

Chapter Text

You awake in a red stained drafty room, your body feel weak and sluggish, almost as if you were asleep for far too long. A man with horizontal stitches, black long hair and gold-colored kasaya garment over a black yukata robes looks down at you as you laid on the floor somewhat dazed.

You do not know this man, yet the few words that escaped his lips compelled you to follow them obediently.

"Bring me Itadori."

You try to speak but your voice comes out painfully hoarsed. "W- Who are you?"

"You may call me father." He responded. "And your name is Y/n."

"F- Father?" You repeated, your voice sounding slightly less harsh the more you speak.

He gives you a contented smile as he offered you his hand. "Come now. Today, we celebrate your birthday along with your siblings."

You take his hand and allowed him to pull you up. Your bare legs shake as if it was your first time standing. Only when he placed a slightly dirtied blanket over your shoulders do you realize your naked. You pull the blacket closer to your chest while your eyes wondered around the horrific room. You focus your eyes on the dreadful pile of bodies that layed in the corner of the room.

Even though your mind struggle to recall the faces of the dead people, your heart ache for them. This confused you. Why would you feel remorse for people you do not know, were you possibly close with these people? You couldn't help but ask your father of your possible connections with these people "Father? Who are those people?"

he replied slightly agitated. "Them? Just ignore them, they are only unimportant monkies."

Heeding his words, you ignore them and allowed your father to walk you towards the exit of the minka style home.

He slides the shoji door open revealing a few tenths of curses waiting outside. You feel an oddly close and comforting connection towards these scary looking beings. Almost as if you belong with them. Though, the feeling felt kind of forced.

Your father gestures towards the curses as he annouces quietly to you. "This is your new family."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several days later your being driven early in the morning to a secluded place where you will be living along with other students. Your father suggested the best way to complete your goal was to befriend the boy your supposed to bring, and the best way to do that was to join the school he attended.

You were given three tasks that were needed to complete while you were there; convince Itadori to join your father, Geto, find out the students cursed techniques, and immobilize powerful curse users.

Despite spending a short time with your father, you grew clingy and dependant on his guidance. So when you were told that you had to leave your father so soon you wasn't very thrilled about it, in fact you felt miserable. Your father cheered you up by giving you a low leveled curse as a pet so you won't feel lonely.

You notice the driver seem somewhat nervous around you, he constantly shift around in his seat while glancing at his rear view mirror.

"Is something wrong?" You asked.

the driver responded nervously. "S- Sorry. Its just the curse sitting on your lap... I'm worried it would attack me."

You reassuringly replied ."Don't fret. It doesn't like hurting others unless you hurt it first."

Unfortunately that didn't ease the driver nerves, they may have made them worst.

You pet Sem the curse making sure to keep it from reacting to the driver fear. It rob its deformed head against your hand while it hummed in a raspy voice.

After a few more minutes of driving you arrived at the jujutsu tech school, a man with white hair and a blind fold excitedly waits for you at the entrance of the school. You grabbed your bag and climbed out of the car while cradling Sem in one hand.

"Hello new student, welcome to jujutsu tech." Greeted the white haired male. "Am your sensei Satoru Gojo."

His eyes wandered to the curse that slumbered in your arm. He stretches out his arm to poke it but you stepped away.

You admonished Gojo. "It doesn't like being touched by others."

"Interesting, is your curse ability connected to this curse?" Curiously he asked.

You shake your head in response.

"Then what is your ability?" Gojo tilts his head as he observes you.

"I don't have one. I can only see and communicate with curses." you replied.

"Really? Was hoping you had some cool ability since you joined us out of no where." He mumbled disappointingly.

"Are all curses friendly with you, or is it only lower leveled curse your able to get friendly with?" Gojo questions as he makes another attempt to touch the curse.

You step away from him again while responding to his question. "I've never tried." You lied. You infact got along well with Mahito and Jogo during the very few days you spent with your father and siblings. From what father said Mahito and Jogo were special grade.

"Well then we'll test whether you can tomorrow, for now lets get you settled." Gojo turns on his heal and begins walking towards some stairs, you follow behind him quietly while observing the area.

When you reached the dorms, Gojo knocks on two doors. Seconds later two males simultaneously open the doors he had knocked. One seemed like he was awaken from his sleep and the other seemed annoyed.

"What?" Asked the spikey haired male.

"What time is it?" asked the male with pink hair.

"Itadori, Megumi, this is... uh." Gojo stops mid introduction as he tries to recall your name. He get close to your ear and whispers. "Whats your name again?"

"Y/n..." you respond.

"This is Y/n. She'll be going on missions with you from now on." Annonced Gojo.

You stare at Itadori intently as you recall your mission.

"Convince Itadori to join us. Use whatever method you see fit. Whether its to befriend or to make him your boyfriend." Your father words replays in your head.

Itadori rubs his eyes sleepily as he walks up to you. once he was only one step away from you, you felt that close and comforting feeling you felt when you first met the other curses.

"When Gojo first told us that another girl would be joining our group I thought it would be another Nobara but uglier- Oh? Whats that your in your arm? Is that your pet? Looks kind of funky looking." Said Itadori as he reaches out to poke Sem. Unlike Gojo you didn't back away, you knew Sem wouldn't feel threatened by Itadori. Itadori pets Sem as he looks at it confusingly. "Maybe... its a new breed of dog?"

Megumi squints his eyes at Itadori stupidity. "Thats not a dog. Thats a curse... dumbass."

"Wait, for real?" exclaimed Itadori. Itadori continues to pet Sem and even make funny faces at it.

"Well I'll leave the new kid with you guys." Said Gojo.

"You can't just dump her on us. Where are you even going?" Refute Megumi.

"I got a mission." Gojo responded.

"When will you return?" Asked Megumi.

"Tomorrow... hopefully... Maybe."

"What time exactly tomorrow?" inquired Megumi.

Gojo crosses his middle finger with his index finger as he responded to Megumi for the last time. "T-" Gojo doesn't even finish his sentence. Just like that he disappears.

"That- tsk." Megumi doesn't finishes his sentence, he just walks back to his room angrily and slams his door shut.

"Don't mind Megumi, he's always in a bad mood." Itadori rubs the back of his head nervously. He sees your bag in your hand and offers to carry it to your room, you take his offer and gave him your bag. He takes a few steps forward before stopping in his tracks. He looks at you confused as he ask you a question. "Which one is your room again?"

You shrug your shoulders as you didn't know the location of your room either.

Itadori respondes "What will you do? Gojo isn't returning till tomorrow... hopefully... maybe." Itadori scratches the top of his head as he tries to think of something.

"You can stay with Nobara. That is, if she agrees." Itadori suggested.

"Nobara?" You questioned.

"She's the ugly girl i was talking about earlier." Itadori responded as he began walking towards the opposite side of his dorm. Itadori tried to make light conversation but you only responded with nods, shaking your head or shrugging your shoulders. "Your a girl of few words huh?"

You apologize, assuming your silence bothered him.

"No need to apologize. I think its kind of cool your silent and mysterious, it gives off main strong character vibes." Itadori reassured.

Two minutes later you arrived at what you assume is Nobara room. Itadori knocks on the door a couple of times before it finally opened. Nobara sleepily glares at Itadori, she then glances at your direction and smirks "Jesus christ Itadori, its seven in the morning. Did you wet your bed again? Usually you wet yourself around lunch time." Nobara teases.

Flustered, Itadori profusely tried to clear his name. "its fine, no need to explain yourself." You reassured him. He heaves a sigh of relief in exchange.

"Anyways, whats up with the girl? I didn't think a snot picking boy like yourself can actually pull someone." Nobara teases.

"S-She's not my girlfriend! She's the girl Gojo told us about yesterday." Responded Itadori.

"Oh thats her? Here i was worried there would be two pretty girls in the group. It would've ruined the balance."she said cockily as she eyes you from head to toe.

Itadori raises a brow questioningly as he spoke. "We had a pretty girl in our group? Since when?"

"Funny, I didn't think you were blind too." Nobara refute back while glaring at him.

After a few minutes of Itadori and Nobara exchanging insults, they finally returned to the topic of your living situation.

"Why not ask Gojo where her room is?" Suggested Nobara.

"He left before telling us anything." Responded Itadori.

"When is he returning?" Asked Nobara

"He said tomorrow... hopefully." Itadori replied.

"Either way its a no from me." Said Nobara. She shuts her door on you and Itadori before you could respond.

"Bitch." Itadori grumbled under his breath. "Sorry about that. I guss your not feeling very welcomed huh?"

You shake your head in response. "Its ok, your company is enough."

Itadori blushes at your comment.

For a moment he is quiet as he thinks of a solution for your problem. "I guess you could stay in my room till Gojo returns. I'll just sleep on the couch and you can take the bed." Itadori suggest shyly. "That is, if you don't mind."

"I don't mind it." you replied.

You both walked back to his room, once there he welcomes you inside. He places your duffle bag near his bed so he can neaten his bed for you. Once the bed was made up Sem jumps from your arm to the bed. It gets comfortable on the bed before falling asleep. You look around his room taking in the things he is interested in to make befriending him easier.

Itadori grabs his uniform that laid on the floor, and began making his way towards the bathroom. He locks the door behind him, you were now alone in his room.

The mangas he had stacked in the corner peaked your interest, you pick up one of the mangas and skim through it. For some reason holding the manga felt familiar to you, you felt happy from just holding one. These feelings confuses you.

Just as your about to reach for another, Itadori exit his bathroom. He smiles excitedly when he sees that your holding one of his mangas.

"Do you read manga too?" He asks excitedly.

Your unsure how you should respond. A gut feeling is telling you you've read them but you can't recall ever doing so. Now that you think about it, you don't exactly remember what you've done before you met Getou, you don't remember anything at all.

You were so lost in thought that you zoned out Itadori voice.

"Hello? Y/n? Can you hear me?" Itadori yells. He waves his hand in front of your vision to snap you out of your thoughts, and thankfully it did.

"Uh sorry did you say something?" You ask still slightly dazed.

"Yea, I asked if you read manga and when you didn't respond I asked if you ate breakfast yet." He states.

"Oh, manga... I- I don't..." You respond unure of yourself.

"Well if you ever want to start reading, I suggest reading something easy to follow like a romance or comedy, then you can move onto the complicated stuff like action and horror." Itadori recommends.

"Any suggestions?" You ask hoping this can start a bond between you both.

Itadori stroke his chin in thought, he then walks over to his stack of mangas and pulls out a bright coloured manga. "I suggest lovely complex, its a romcom." He hands you the manga excitedly.

"Can i really borrow it?" you ask as you hesitantly reach for it.

"Yea, i don't mind." He reasures you.

You accept the manga as you showed your thanks.

"Am going to get something to eat, wanna come with?" He offers.

You nod in response. You follow him to an area that has vending machines.

"Sorry you can't really have a proper meal, because the school is in an isolated area its hard to get food delivery service here, and travelling to get food is even harder." Itadori says apologetically.

You can't remember when last you've ever eaten anything. Father says you don't need food like other people, but for the sake of being polite you should eat when others are eating.

"So what do you want? Theres pineapple buns, cup noodles, instant ramen... Oh we also have a hot meal vending machine... Oh awesome, they restocked my favorite noodles." Itadori excitedly takes out some loose change from his pocket and pays for his favorite noodles. "So have you decided what you want yet?"

You didn't care what you ate so you just told him you'd have what he was having. He nods in approval as he takes out some more change from his pocket.You about to reach into your pocket when you realize you weren't given any money. Itadori notices you searching for nothing in your pockets. "Don't worry I'll cover for your meal today, think of it as a welcoming gift." He said as he shoved the change into the vending machine slot.

He takes both cup noodles to a small room that had a kettle, microwave and other kitchen appliances hat heated or chilled food. He poured hot water into both cup noodles before resealing them. He hands you yours along with a pair of chopsticks. You both sit on a bench outside while you wait for the hot water to cock the noodles.

Waiting for the noodles to cook makes you feel strange again. You feel as if you've done this before, but again your unable to recall when. You heave a sigh, you can't help but feel hollow, like your missing something... something important. This makes you feel fustrated, so fustrated that you sigh once again. This catches Itadori attention.

Concerned he asks "Whats wrong? Does having to eat noodles bother you?"

You shake your head. "Am fine with anything am not picky." You responded. You wished father was with you so he can give you the answer to your questions.

Itadori wasn't convinced by your answer, but there was nothing he could do if he doesn't know whats wrong.

"Its ready!" He announced as he peeled back the seal of his noodles. You do the same as him and began digging into your noodles at the same time as Itadori. The moment the noodles touch your tongue your lips curled into a wide smile as you slowly savor the noodles that were in your mouth. After that first bite you began scarfing down the delicious noodles. Itadori chokes on his noodles when he began laughing at how you were pigging out the cup noodles. You finish before him unsatisfied, you needed more of those delicious noodles.

"More!" You demanded.

"Hmm?" He hummed, hoping that you'd repeat your question.

"Can i have more please?" You asked politely this time.

"Ok, just gimme a sec to finish mines first." He replied, but you were too impatient.

"Just give me the money and I'll get it myself." You suggested impatiently.

"Uh ok." Itadori reaches into his pocket and pulls out all the money he had in there. Before he could even sort out the exact bills you needed you just grabbed all the money he had in his hand and hightailed towards the vending machine.

You were gone before Itadori could even process what had just occurred. when you reached the vending machine you did exactly what Itadori did when he first got the cup noodles for you both. Only when you were down to your last bill did Itadori finally catch up. He saw the stacks of cup noodles you had beside the vending machine. "Did you use all the money?" He asked anxiously.

As you push the last bill into the machine you nodded to his question.

"That was supposed to last me for the rest of the week." He said.

You shrug off Itadori words and took all the noodles you bought to the room that has the kitchen appliances you needed.

You cooked all the noodles and digged in while some wait to cook. Itadori watches you happily eat the noodles half amused. "I Hope you plan to pay me back." Itadori grumbles under his breath.

You finish all the noodles within an hour. You burp in satisfaction. "Glad you enjoyed it so much." Itadori grumbles.

"hey, how come you ended up attending a school like this?" asked Itadori.

"To use my ability to communicate with curses to save people." you repeated the excuse your father say.

"Oh so your curse ability is to communicate with curses?"

"No, I don't have one." You replied.

"Then how are you going to fight the curses?" He questioned.

"I have to fight them? But why?" Father never told you that you had to fight curses.

"Well that the whole reason why we attend Jujutsu tech, so we can learn to fight curses." Itadori states.

Jogo told you that curses were the only true beings that should exist and humans were liars and selfish people. You were taught that curse were your friends and humans were your enemies, you didn't want to kill your friends.

Before you could respond to Itadori with a trained response you were approached by a petite male along with a large panda.

"Tuna!" greeted the petite boy.

"Well hello there!" Greeted the panda.

"Hello!" You greeted back.

"Rice, bonito flakes, chive?" asked the petite boy.

"Mhm, my name is y/n." You responded casually.

Both the panda and Itadori mouth agaped in shock. "You understand what he is saying?" Itadori asks still flabbergasted.

"I can sense what he is trying to say." You replied.

"It took me several months to finally understand what he is saying." Said the shock panda.

"Also why aren't you surprised that panda can speak?" Asks Itadori.

Due to you being around curse for several days abnormal things became normal to you. "Pandas talking aren't surprising. I mean curses exists so why should animals talking be a surprise."

"Uh... Fair point." Admitted Itadori.

"Tuna tuna." said the petite boy.

"We've never seen you at this school before. Are you new?" Asked panda.

You nodded in response.

Itadori introduces the two students. "Thats panda, he's a curse doll. And he's Inumaki, the reason why he speaks in rice ball ingredients is because he has a curse speech, if he says something like die you can actually drop dead."

You stare at Inumaki intently. An ability to kill with just words peaked your interest, your sure father would be interested too.

Panda notices Nobara and Maki in the distance, he signals them both to come over.

Nobara stretches her sleepy arms as she drawed close to the group. Maki raises a curious brow at you as she spoke. "Who's she?"

"She's a new member of the group, her name was uh... shit I already forgot." Said Nobara.

"Her name is y/n." Said Itadori.

"So whats your curse ability y/n?" Asked Maki.

"I don't have one." You replied.

"Are you good with any weapons then?" Asked Maki.

"No, I have no experience with fighting curses." You replied.

"Huh? Then did you swallow a curse like that idiot too? Ah speaking of curse you were holding one when you came by my dorm this morning. I didn't ask about it cause i was too tired to be bothered. Don't tell me you ate that thing?" Nobara askes sarcastically.

"No she didn't eat any curses, and besides the curse your talking about is her pet." Refuted Itadori.

"Gross gross gross, why are you keeping a curse as a pet." Nobara express her disgust.

Suddenly two swords are tossed to you, with your fast reflexes, you catch it before your able to glance at it. "You at least got fast reflexes." Maki praises you.

"What's this for?" You askes curiously as you observe the long sword and the short sword that was given to you.

"Its gift from me. Use it on your missions, after all how will you be able to fight curses without cursed energy?" She said.

You gave her your thanks.

"Wow Maki your really generous today. Does that mean you've forgiven me for breaking your favorite cursed knife?" Itadori asks.

"No! Expect an invoice tomorrow for my cursed knife." She replies without giving Itadori so much as a glance.

"If you guys are done chit chatting we should begin training." Stated Maki.

Everyone including yourself walked towards a large field. Once there, you all began stretches. From what you observe Maki has the personality of a leader, you'll be sure to tell your father of what you learned.

They trained with each other and all you could do was watch for now. You never wielded a sword or fought with anyone or anything. Since you were born a few days ago all you did was learn about curses, humans and jujutsu tech, father never took the time to do any combat with you.

You sat a good distance from them on the grass, you had your knees close to your chest as you watch the others fight one another. You heard someone approaching from behind, you turned around and saw Megumi. He looks down at you as he stretches one arm across his chest. "How come your not training with the others?" He asks. His tone is alot better compared to this morning.

"I don't have any cursed energy, or any combat experience." You replied.

"Great! Your as useful as a white crayon." He said sarcastically. You ignore his insult and returned to watching Itadori fight Maki. Megumi drops a wooden sword in front of you. You look up at him bewildered. I'll train with you." He responded to your bewildered gaze.

You pick up the wooden sword and followed Megumi to a furtherest part of the field. He spent the entire day teaching you how to guard against heavy and light attacks, and ways to use a guard as an attack as well. After a long day of training you return to with Itadori to his room.

You all finish training by 7 in the night. You were exhausted, not just you, but itadori too. You were surprised megumi and maki was the least tired out of the entire group.

Itadori kindly allowed you to use his shower first.

You grabbed your duffle bag and entered the bathroom. You removed your uniform top and tossed it to a corner. You eye the seal marking on your chest. You tranced its words with your finger. Father placed that Seal on you so you would be able to enter jujutsu tech without being rejected by the school barrier. You didn'tdidn't understand what he meant by that but you accepted it as it is. You wondered if it was the same for the other students too. Do they too have to be marked with a seal to enter the school?

You removed the rest of your clothes and took a shower. When you finished your bath you made sure to get dressed into a top the covered your chest well, you pulled on your pj shorts and walked out the bathroom with your things. When you left the bathroom you saw Itadori petting Sem, Itadori glances at you when he heard the bathroom door close behind you.

"Sorry i accidentally woke it up when i began petting it." Itadori said apologetically. He gets up from the bed tiredly with the clothes he plans to change into. when he walks past you he says. "You can go ahead and hit the sack before me." He enters the bathroom and locks it behind him.

You took a seat on the bed beside Sem who was now awake. Sem crawled onto your lap and looks up at you.

In a raspy voice Sem spoke. "Geto wants to see us. Hes at the bottom of the hill."

You look towards the bathroom door, you listen carefully at the sound of the shower before giving Sem a response. "Ok guide me there."

Sem hop off your lap and began walking towards the location while you followed behind quietly. While you and Sem was making your way towards Geto, Itadori had finish his bath. When he return to the room he was surprised that you weren't there.

You walk down the rough hill without shoes, your feet got scratches and bruises, but you ignored it. The scratches and bruises you got healed within seconds. After an hour of walking you finally met up with your Father, Geto.

You ran excitedly towards him, giving him a firm hug. He respondes to your gesture by petting the top of your head lovingly. "Its only been a day yet you've missed me so much?" You can hear the amusement in his voice.

You nod vigorously in response.

Geto laughs lightly at your excitement. "How was school today?" He asks.

"It was ok. There were two interesting students, one had a cursed ability that allowed whatever he say come true, and a girl with a leader personality." You reported. "Interesting. Continue keeping an eye on those two, we might have plans for them. Is there anymore to share?" "Am not very liked by Megumi and Nobara... mostly Nobara. But Itadori is kind and considerate of me. I think he already sees me as a friend." You admitted.

"Hmm... it will take a while for them to welcome you. After all Nobara and Megumi aren't as half witted as Itadori." Said your father. "Either way their friendship doesn't matter, your relationship with Itadori is whats important."

You nod in agreement. "Did you do any training yet?" Askes Geto.

"Mhm. Megumi taught me how to guard and i think Gojo wants to teach me how to communicate with high level curses." You reported.

"If Gojo ask you to kill a curse, do as he says." Geto stated.

You were shocked by your father words, you were taught curses were your friend, so to kill them made you felt conflicted. But that confliction left as early as it came. You felt compelled to obey, and so you planned too. Father words were law to you. You nod your head slowly accepting his orders.

Suddenly you remembered about the questions you wanted to ask your father. "Father, today i felt weird, it was the same feeling I felt when i saw those dead people in the minka styled home... When i touched a manga it felt familiar to me, like I've touched one already, despite it being my first time touching one. And when Itadori bought me those cup noodles I felt that same feeling again. I feel hollow whenever those vague daje vu occurs."

"Ignore them, those feelings and false memories that may appear. Those are but someone elses memories, not your own." Geto replied slightly agitated. "Now nod if you've understand."

You nod slowly. Father orders are law after all. "Now, is that all?" Askes Geto.

"N-No, can i have money?" You requested timidly. This was the first time you've asked your father for something.

You look at your feet as you anxiously wait for his reply.

"Ok. I'll start sending you an allowance of 1,000 dollars every month. Is there anything else you'll need?" he responded as he searched through his yukata sleeve for something.

You were surprised he agreed so easily. You could now buy more cup noodles.

Geto pulls out some cash from his Yukata sleeve and hands it to you. "Thats about 200 dollars, I'll send you more money along with other stuff you may need. I'll also get you a cellphone, it would be better if we communicate through it than meeting up at night."

You express your gratitude as you accepted the money.

"We should part ways now. Someone might be looking for you." said Geto.

You gave him one last hug and he gave you a light kiss on the forehead. "Please visit me soon father." You said.

"Of course." He replies. You wave him good bye till he was no longer in your sight. Once you were sure he left you gave Sem the money you were given, and had him consume the money whole for safe keeping.You pick up Sem and turned on your heel. You nearly dropped Sem from surprise when you saw Itadori standing before you.

Fear washes over you as you realize he may have heard what you and father were discussing. Sem sense your fear and began slowly growing.

"Sorry for startling you. You left without a word so I got worried and went looking for you." Replied Itadori.

His calmness made you feel uneasy. You weren't sure if he was hiding the fact he heard you and your father conversation. "Were you spying on me?" You ask while trying to sound as calm as possible. You didn't want to give him a reason to be suspicious of you by acting aggressive.

"well I not too long got here. So unless you telling your father good bye was personal then I apologize for listening." he replied.

You quickly calmed your nerves when you sensed he wasn't lying, Sem as well calmed down when your fear dissipate. You heave a sigh of relief as you pet Sem. "If your father wants to visit you he can come to the school. Am sure the school allows parents to visit." Suggested Itadori.

You can't help but smile at the idea of your father coming to visit you in school. "Ok."

"Lets head back. Its cold as hell out here-" Itadori stops mid sentence as he focus his gaze on your bare feet. "Holy shit how did you manage to walk down this rocky hill without shoes? Didn't it hurt?" Asked Itadori.

You shake your head in response.

"You don't have to pretend to be tuff with me." Itadori said sternly. He got on one knee and presented his back for you. "Get on, I'll take you back up the hill."

 

You accepted his offer and got onto his back. He held onto both of your thighs to support your weight while you wrapped your arm around his neck. Once he was sure your secure he began walking up the hill carefully.

While you were being taken back to the dorms, you were thinking of ways to deepen your friendshio with Itadori. Suddenly you remembered him grumbling about money. It would be a great start to give him back what you owe. "Hey Itadori? Lend me your hand for a sec?" You asked.

"What for?" He questioned.

"I want to give you back the money I owe you." you replied.

He responds with a low hum as he lifts a hand to you. Like a tooth paste tube you squeezed Sem till it spat out the money into Itadori hand. Itadori whole body cringe when the warm, slimey cash land on his hand.

Itadori slowly lowers his hand to see what the hell had ended up on his hand. He looks at his palm disgusted and confused. "What is this?" He asks.

"Its the money I owe you. Just clean off Sem saliva before using it." You replied.

"I guess money is money." Said Itadori as he begrudgingly placed the cash in his pocket. He then wipes the rest of slime on his shirt.
