Chapter Text
A green-colored cursed energy ball blasts past Yuji’s cheek towards the building right behind the boy. No sound is heard from the impact.
Yuck. That stinked like fish. Something isn’t right. This attack didn’t seem to be physical. I need to act with caution! Notes Yuji as he rubs his nose.
Yuji leaps off the ground and sprints toward the mysterious cursed spirit as he forms the Black Flash with his fist. Just as he was about to reach the spirit, the being dodges and transforms into dust. Being surrounded by the unknown substance, Yuji quickly holds his breath as he barrels through the grey curtain on pure instinct.
Getting caught off guard by the jagged rocks, Yuji trips and his body launches forward as he comes crashing down to a body of water.
SPLASH!
Unable to feel his own limbs, Yuji’s vision starts to drift shut as he body slowly starts sinking down.
Help…
…
Ah…Am I still alive? I feel tired and my body feels so light for some reason. Wait… WHAT this feels too weird!
Yuji, who had just regained consciousness, looked down to see his hands had turned into a pair of fins! Confused, the pink fish swims around in circles trying to examine its new body. As if it had finally made up its mind, the boy who is now a fish stops himself and desperately attempts to flap its fins. Moments passed as Yuji was able to finally get the hang of swimming and accept the fact that he became a fish.
It must’ve been that evil cursed spirit that I’ve fought earlier. What should I do? Kugisaki and Fushiguro are back at Jujutsu High… The upperclassmen are also working on their own mission. Do I just stay here? No! I have to swim up and see if I can cry for help. Concludes Yuji as he beats his fins upwards trying to reach the nearby light source.
Resurfacing above the water, Yuji finally sees where he is. He’s located inside a fountain surrounded by tons of sweet food stalls.
He hears a distant humming sound.
“La-la-la”
A white haired teenager with black sunglasses is seen walking towards Yuji’s direction. With hands in his pockets and light steps he quickly was able to spot a bench near the fountain. The boy plops down and rips open the plastic wrap to pop the mochi into his mouth. His arms relax on the top of the bench where he slowly tilts his head backwards to rest.
It’s Gojo-senpai!!! He must’ve been just done with his mission and brought sweets like he always does. I should ask him for help! Wait…No would he even recognize me in his form? Yuji’s eyes damp as he realized the cold hard truth.
Suddenly Yuji felt himself being held by the tail into the air. At the same time, Yuji feels like he’s about to suffocate from the lack of oxygen and instinctively slaps his tail for release. The grip on his tail strengthens. A young handsome face zooms in close to Yuji. The bright blue eyes of the young fellow stares right into Yuji’s soul. Yuji holds his breath.
Silence.
Yuji blinks once. Twice. Three times trying to cry for help. No tears were seen falling from Yuji’s face. Fish don’t cry. Feeling hopeless, Yuji waits for what Gojo was going to do to him.
“Woah, Sickkkk never seen this hue before. Yo fish, why are you the only fish in this fountain? Do you live off of those coins? Wait. LOL why do you somehow look familiar? Like the color scheme of my underclassmen Yuji??!! Holy shoot-” speaks Gojo as if he is expecting an answer.
Yuji opens his mouth but no words come out. Again feeling discouraged Yuji plays dead, wanting Gojo to just leave him alone already.
“Yeah you're a fish. No way you were gonna talk anyways. But for some reason I want to take you home so you're going home with me!” Decided Gojo as his face beams with excitement at the thought of bringing this special fish home with him.
Without giving the fish a moment to refuse, Gojo holds the Yuji fish above his head with both of his hands despite the fish being 35 kg. Happily the young white man heaps and hops back to Jujutsu High.
Yuji is confused. What will happen to him?
