Chapter Text
Shoko Ieiri had always been a pretty straightforward person.
Well, maybe not always, but especially in her later years she had decided talking back was far more fun than letting the adults in her life sprout bullshit all the time.
Her mother, Yuki Ieiri had always been fixated on the idea of turning her only daughter into a jujutsu killing machine, while Shoko spent her early childhood experimenting with cursed energy, together with their neighboring family's child. Teagen wasn't the most talented kid, but he had as much fun playing as Shoko did. Together they managed to bring Shoko's reversed cursed technique out - resulting in the girl mastering the technique at only ten years old.
The kids were inseparable for years, until one day, her mother started catching up to what the kids had been doing all that time. Shoko started missing fighting lessons more and more and her mother ultimately forbade her from seeing Teagen to have her concentrate on her fighting lessons.
Shoko hated her mother for it. Why did she have to be a fighter, why couldn’t she be a jujutsu scientist?
