Too Much to Handle
Type: One-Shot (Completed)
Warnings: NSFW !!! , Explicit Content
Tags: Orgasm Denial, Smut, Slight Angst, Hurt/ Comfort, Fluff, BDSM, Edging, Crying, Creampie, Pwp
Word Count: 2.3k
Summary: Noritoshi edges you every single night for 5 days. But edging you repeatedly, may not have been the best idea.
You currently have a very pleasant sex life with Noritoshi, your beloved boyfriend. Everything was in place. Trust, mood, and of course, safe words.
Adzuki (red beans) to stop. Matcha to slow down. Simple as that and usually nothing went wrong in the bedroom. You were on birth control pills, which made it so much easier for the both of you.
"Hey, how do you feel about orgasm denial?" Noritoshi asks you one night. You've been curious about it, knowing that you have good stamina and a solid track record of being patient.
"Sounds okay," You shrugged. You've done all sorts of things with him already in bed, and so far you've loved every single one. "Why not?"
Oh you were going to eat those words of yours.
You both agreed to edging you and only you for 4 days, while Noritoshi got to come over your body at the end of every session. He loves seeing you covered in him. Smelling like him.
You enjoyed it at first, loving it when he pumps his cum over your lips. Then you suck the head of his cock into your mouth, taking in as much cum as you can. His soft groans and praises make you light up.
He carefully thrusts two fingers into you, pumping in and out while he presses a vibrator against your clit. Removing them everytime you come near climax.
He was able to watch and experiment with your body a lot. Knowing exactly where your sweet spots are, and what makes you cum.
Noritoshi found it simply divine. Hearing you sob and moan his name so beautifully. Begging and promising to do anything in exchange to cum. Your hips lifting and following the vibrator everytime he moves his hands. Pink pussy watery and so wet, but unable to cum. Twitching and fluttering around nothing.
How your mouth waters as you stare at his long fingers.
He gives you consolation from time to time, letting you suck either his fingers or his dick. He also leaves sloppy wet kisses in your inner thigh and against the skin around your clit, making your hips push up.
You fall back against the bed after every session. His cuddles and kisses trying to cover up for the aching feeling down between your legs.
But on the night of the 4th day, you were at your limit. It was actually so frustrating to be edged, only to be stopped. It was difficult to fall asleep after.
You were miserable and horny, but incredibly excited for the next night.
Only for Noritoshi to suggest something else the next day, "Do you think you can try for one more night?" He asked.
You gulped, seeing him look not so secretly pleased. 'He looks like he's really enjoying this. I don't wanna disappoint him.'
"Don't worry, I'll let you come tonight. I just have some ideas in mind, but I wanted it to be a surprise." He smirked.
"Okay. I'll be good for you." You meekly answered. His smile was so warm and loving, you forgot about your needs for a bit, hugging him tight.
"Such a good girl for me darling. I love you."
"I love you too Toshi."
But you were at wits end later that night. Stark naked, with the addition of handcuffs and some ropes to hold you down. Your legs spread far apart, exposing your quivering cunt.
It's been 2 hours of edging. Scratch that, it's been 5 nights. You were close to breaking.
You sobbed for the millionth time that week as Noritoshi kissed your pussy and sat back to pause.
He pressed the vibrator against your clit, watching as your legs shook, only to remove it as you started trembling.
"You can't come yet." He said softly, yet firmly.
"Why not?" You gasped. "I've been so good for you."
Noritoshi's eyebrows raised. "Because I say so." Edging you multiple more times. He was so focused on your body that he failed to see tears streaming down against your temples.
"Toshiii," You were full on sobbing and shaking. "Please let me cum. Adzuki! Adzuki! I can't do this anymore! Adzuki!"
Static white noise.
Noritoshi heard his pulse thunder against his ears upon hearing you use your safe word. Never had you ever used it before. Not even when he tied you up and fucked you over 5 rounds that one night until you were a sobbing drooling mess.
"Nuh-no more!! No! Don't want!" You babbled and shook your head, trying to move away from him.
His heart broke to see you like this.
He dropped everything, undoing your ties and massaging your limp arms, pulling you close as you cried frustratedly into his chest, cuddling and frantically hushing you.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." You were apologising as you shook your head and pushed him away.
No. This was not how it was supposed to go.
"Baby I'm the one who's sorry. Shhhhh, Toshi is here. Okay, I'll stop, I'll make you cum. I promise." He rushed the words out in a hurry.
"I'm sorry," You kept repeating apologies, crying and shaking your head. You didn't seem to hear a word he was saying.
He pressed his lips tenderly into yours and breathed air into your mouth. "Follow my breaths." He commanded.
That tone. He used that voice you could never resist listening to and following. So you slowed down your breathing until you matched his pace. He rubbed slow circles onto your back.
"You're such a good girl. The best, my one and only angel," he softly cooed. You preened, feeling yourself slip further into a subspace. Your head felt so foggy.
"Why are you apologising?" He asked gently as he finally notices your tears and wipes it away.
Your lips started trembling, " buh-Because I cuh-couldn't do it anymore. I'm not *hic* good enough for yuh-you. I wuh-wanted to come but you…. said… hold off longer… can't-" you started breathing heavily again but he kissed you to distract you.
"No, no that's not your fault. That's mine for not taking care of you properly. I pushed you way past your limits. I'm sorry. You are more than enough for me, you know that. Can you forgive Toshi?" He nuzzled into the side of your face.
Deep inside, Noritoshi was actually losing it. Mentally slapping himself for letting you feel this way to the point you had to use a safe word. He never wanted you to feel this way with him.
"But I wuh-want t-to feel good together with you. I can handle maybe 3 days of no cumming, but 5 is too much," You hiccuped.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I know that now. Whatever you want, I'll do for you now. Okay?"
You looked up at him with the biggest eyes ever, his heart clenched. "Anything?"
"Anything. As long as it won't hurt the both of us, I'll do it for you." He promised.
For someone who was so desperate to come, he watched you become shy. But the words that came out weren't, "Make love to me. Cum inside me Toshi." You begged him.
"Okay, if that's what you want." He quickly set to removing his clothes and fixed the bed, making sure you were as comfortable as you could be.
"Like this. I wanna face you. Stay close." You whimpered, holding out two hands.
Missionary position. Noritoshi's and your personal favorite, because of how intimate it is. He pushes your legs far apart, revealing your aching hole.
You were still loose from the stretching he did earlier, but there was a slight burn as he entered you. You welcomed it wholeheartedly.
His cock was inside. His cock was inside of you. Finally!
You teared up again, wanting this for so long.
"Shhhh," he tried to calm you down as you cried some more.
"So happy, you're finally inside of me Toshi," You sniffed.
Distantly, Noritoshi thought he heard something like a tightly coiled string snap. You looked absolutely delectable right now. Pussy a bright red and your face a teary mess.
He was rock hard down there as he started out with deep and shallow thrusts.
"Yes, yes, more, give" You moaned, hooking your legs around his waist to prevent him from pulling all the way out.
"Anything for my angel." Noritoshi sucked on that tender part of skin under your ear.
You felt him glide in and out of you and it was such a relief against your vaginal walls.
You went on like that with him for a while, with Noritoshi stroking your cheek, making sure you felt good as he started to move faster.
But something felt off. "Toshi," You cried.
"What is it baby?" He looked over you in alarm.
"Can't cum. Don't know. Feels weird." Your body wasn't used to it anymore, the sensations feeling familiar but not exactly the same as before.
You felt absolutely horrible, your body was at that knife's edge of tipping into orgasm, but it wouldn't.
"Listen to me okay? Let it happen. Do you trust me? Do you trust your Toshi?"
You looked up into his eyes, and was surprised by their intensity. So dark. His hair, his eyes, his expression. His focus was 120% on you. On making you feel good.
You loved that about Noritoshi. He was incredibly sincere and pure hearted about everything he did. "Yes I trust you. I love you."
"I love you too Angel. Hold on tight." He let you grip onto his shoulders as he held onto your hips and started slamming his hips up and down, driving his cock so deep like it never did before.
He watched as you yelped at a certain angle, and changed his thrusts to hit that soft spot deep inside.
Your arms shot out to grab the sheets beside you as you keened, feeling intense pleasure while Noritoshi hits your G spot repeatedly.
"Please, please," You whined, tears falling past your cheeks, breaths uneven.
"There there now. Toshi is here. You're allowed to cum anytime. I will give it to you." He kissed away your tears and pressed close as he continued to pound into you.
Your breath hitched, feeling him poke against your tummy. "Toshii, I ugh-" you started to lose coherence as you felt a wild spark of heat down below.
"Let go." Noritoshi refused to come before you did, holding off his orgasm despite how your velvety wet insides molded and squeezed him perfectly.
He reached down with one hand to furiously rub your clit, lighting up all the nerves in your body. He used his cursed technique to move faster and faster, hips moving at an unearthly pace.
"Toshiiii-ahhhhn!" You screamed as your body violently convulsed, your pussy creaming around his cock and contracting madly as you finally came. It was the hardest and most intense one that you've ever experienced.
"That's it, my angel, come for me." He praised you as your screams increased in pitch and volume. He held you down as you thrashed about, not wanting you to slip off of him.
You tightened so much that it almost made him cum right away. Almost.
Noritoshi hooked his arms around your legs as he chased off his own orgasm. Skin slapping harshly against skin. He pushed in at a deeper angle.
"Yesyesyes," You moaned despite still reeling from your orgasm high. "Fuck me, fuck yes, more!"
Noritoshi was practically snarling as he continued pummeling into you, finally cumming and stuffing you full. "So tight! You've been so good for me, and look at you. You're perfect baby."
You trembled even harder upon feeling his dick throb and the cum slosh inside of you.
"Are you still coming? You're such a good girl, coming on my cock like this. So pretty." He grinded deeper and continued playing with your clit and nipples, making you twitch as you rode out your second orgasm gently.
You made sounds of choking and gasping which made him slow down. "Is that too much for you? It's okay baby. It's okay."
You tried to reply, but all that came out was a string of incoherent sounds, like a baby's babbling. Noritoshi smiled.
He made you cum 4 more times and stuffed you well past your capacity, feeling his seed seep out of your cunny and run down your ass. Pressing you down against the mattress as he rutted into you as he continued spurting loads inside of you.
You refused to let him pull out even when he grew soft.
"Stay."
And so Noritoshi did, because he promised you anything you wanted.
You sniffed quietly, but he heard it of course. "Baby" He cooed as he held you closer, but you refused to look into his eyes.
"Don't tell me you're still mad?"
You pouted, but shook your head. "I agreed to it. I wanted to be so good for you-"
"You are," he cut you. "You are so good. 5 days as opposed to the original 4 nights. I really was supposed to make you come tonight. And you did so well to make it this far, but I won't push you to do something like this anymore. It's my fault for extending it."
You shut your eyes. "I thought you would be disappointed if I told you I couldn't do it. You looked so excited to try out so much stuff in the bedroom." You bit your lip hard, but he reached out to stop you from doing that.
You sucked on his fingers while he pressed his lips against your forehead. "I won't be disappointed if you tell me no. I need to know the extent of your boundaries, so we can work out what's best for the both of us. Don't think I'd leave you for someone else who could last a week without cumming just because. That's not how I feel. I want to experiment with you and you only. You understand?"
You finally looked up at him and you were shocked to see how worried he was. Eyebrows all scrunched up. A big frown on his face. You kissed him, "I understand."
He pressed in closer. "Good girl. Such a good girl for Toshi. I'm so proud of you."
You let out a sob at that. And he patted your back as you cried off whatever heaviness you had left inside of your chest, emotional baggage now a lot lighter.
"You're right. I was scared you'd leave for someone who could handle you better in bed." You whispered after you finally calmed down.
"Mmm, not gonna happen. Ever. You're stuck with me. Forever."
"Forever sounds nice Toshi."
Author's Notes: When I say that I'm so down bad for Noritoshi, I legit am on Noritoshi brain rot. And me being stuck at home with a lockdown is definitely fueling this XD. I'm supposed to be working on Blood Bound, but I couldn't help but write this because I felt the sudden urge to.
Hope you enjoyed reading! - Mon

Cleaning Noritoshi's Nails for Him
Type: Headcanons
Warnings: none, just fluff
Notes: As my hand kink is acting up again and I love taking good care of my own hands. I imagine what it would be like for Noritoshi. Just ... his hands. Yes.
This was in my drafts for months akdbeje I think it's time I clear out my drafts.
🌠 He fights with arrows and blood, so they get dirty and chipped at times. He needed some help in maintaining them. So you offered to do his pedicure.
🌌 He lets you wash his hands for him when you ask him if you can. You make sure to remove all the blood and dirt, before applying lotion and moisturiser for him.
🎇 You trim his nails carefully, making sure they're just the right length, before filing and buffing them down for him. You brush off any dust off his nails for him.
💜 He lets you sit on his lap, with your back against his chest as you set to work on his hands. I'm pretty sure he ends up falling asleep, because you take your time in dealing with his hands.
🌠 The man is like a kitten that sleeps while you massage its paws and put paw ointment on its paw pads. He relaxes at any special spa treatment.
💞 You apply nail hardener and a base coat for him. This way, his nails won't break when he fights, especially when going hand to hand combat against an enemy.
❤ He wakes up, and hooks his head over your shoulder to see his hands clean and nails perfectly shaped.
💕 Sometimes he even lets you paint a color over his nails. Usually you just use a clear coat. A pale tinted pink would look natural on his nails. For other days, you'd paint it a dark violet or black. Makes him feel like a rockstar. He just shakes his head and smiles as you paint your nails a matching color.
🌠 Asks you a lot of questions about nail care after seeing an improvement in his hands during battle. He doesn't deal with nail breakages anymore after letting you take over the managing of his hands.
💕 Nail polish removal days. You apply cuticle oil and massage his hands for him when the polish grows long and it's time to trim his nails. He's grown to love the feeling of your hands on his. You never question it when he fiddles around with your hands and fingers as well.
🥺 And because of this, he knows what ring size to buy for you when the special day comes💞

Extra Notes: This is my favorite chapter by far in this book, I've been wanting to drop this for weeks! I hope you enjoy reading. Part 2 of the story starts from here on until the end. Feel free to scream in the comments as usual XD
Chapter 14: Big White Lies
As the days passed by, the seasons changed. You started class in Spring. Summer has long passed and it is now the beginning of Winter. Noritoshi, as usual, was really busy so you didn’t see him as often. But you let it go.
You wanted to do something nice for him, so you had the idea to surprise Noritoshi. Having some cupcakes in a small bag and a fresh cup of coffee in your other hand, you were outside his door, hiding your presence and cursed energy to mask your identity.
As you raised your hand to knock on his door, you heard a second male voice.
"I'm glad to hear that you've been getting along with your soulmate son." His father's voice was heard over a speaker. Oh he was on call with his dad!
Yikes, not the best time to interrupt. It is impolite to listen into the conversation, but you were too excited to surprise him that you decided to wait for the call to end.
"Is Y/N really deeply in love with you? Make sure to not let her go. That will surely help our clan's reputation rise above with her skills being integrated into ours. She can definitely bear strong heirs for our clan. For centuries it was the Zenins that harnessed various types of jujutsu shi with strong techniques. It's time we continuously expanded ours as well. Starting with her." The Kamo clan head sternly ordered his son.
'Huh?'
"Yes of course father. Don't worry. She has already confessed her love to me so there's nothing to worry about. I'll do my best to make this clan proud and powerful. I definitely won’t let you down." Noritoshi replied.
The smile on your face slowly faded as your face turned to stone. Ah. Was that it?
Is that what you amounted to only? A tool for their use. A stepping stone for the Kamo clan to get stronger. You started to feel nauseous. Is this the so-called secret he didn’t want to tell you about…
You stood quietly as you continued eavesdropping.
"Excellent. Heh, looks like you can actually be a womaniser if you wanted to. Women are way too easy. As I told you before, give her sweet touches, use pet names, give her lots of encouragement and make promises here and there and they'll be by your side before you know it." His father snorted.
"Yes, I've taken your advice into consideration and did as you said." Noritoshi spoke firmly. Your heart was breaking with every word spoken.
"If you don't like her or how she looks, you can have several concubines and wives anyways. Have your pick. Remember Homura chan? Now she's a stunner. Didn’t you also say you found her cute?"
‘What on earth is this? Who is Homura? Why?’ Your hands start shaking badly, pulse thundering in your ears.
You felt light headed from the brutish words the Kamo clan head was saying, and silently retreated, not wanting to hear Noritoshi's response to his father. Keeping your presence and cursed energy hidden and as minuscule as possible while you walked back to your dorm room.
Because you had left you didn't hear the remainder of the conversation.
"Father, I respect that the older clan heads had several wives and concubines. And I’ve told you time and time again that I’m not interested in Homura san. But I've decided to be loyal to my one true soulmate. I think I am falling in love with her as well, and can't bear to see her hurt. I won't be taking in any concubines." Noritoshi politely replied.
It was the first time he had spoken about his true feelings out loud and he felt vulnerable. He braced himself for any harsh words from his father but none came.
His father only raised an eyebrow. "Suit yourself. The fact is, even if she doesn't give birth to an heir with the inherited Blood Manipulation, she is more than enough of an additional asset to our clan. And it ties us together with the Abe/Tsuchimikado clan as you know."
Clan politics. Noritoshi is getting more and more sick of it every day, but he just silently nodded. As long as he has you and his mother by his side, nothing else matters. "Yes I understand father."
Noritoshi hated talking about his family with you, because of this exact reason. He didn’t want you to be disgusted by this side of their family and get pulled into their family problems. The worst thing would be for you to have a terrible first impression of the Kamo clan.
He understood that you already had a lot on your plate as your missions grew harder and harder. You were often assigned to grade 1 missions alone already. The worst case was for you to get roped into doing messy tasks to please the clan elders.
◇◇◇
You paced around your room, staring at the cupcakes and coffee on your desk. They were getting cold.
Cold. That's how you felt inside and out. You had to confront him. Or else your relationship will just drag you down. You definitely didn't want him to have any concubines. Didn’t want to have a partner who didn’t love you after all.
You were so lost in your emotions that you didn’t realize you were jumping to several conclusions on your own without considering Noritoshi's feelings for you properly.
'But it was starting to make sense' Your mind was screaming at yourself. 'He never explicitly confessed his feelings. He does indeed give me mixed signals from time to time. He shuts me out of private matters to him. He could be using me.’
The one question that was breaking you apart now is: "Was everything a lie? How much of his actions were sincere? He could lie about anything. To get power, that's something the big 3 clans are capable of doing. Satoru told me of some of the horrors already…"
The doubt and feelings of betrayal piled up, until you came to one conclusion: You’ve had enough.
◇◇◇
The next day, you suppressed all your emotions and distracted yourself. You tried your best to act normal around Noritoshi, smiling brightly at him.
It wasn't too effective. Everytime he called you his angel, instead of the delight you usually feel, you felt hurt thinking he was forcing himself to do this.
This can't go on forever. And eventually Noritoshi could start to feel the pain in your heart on his end as well. He hurried to you one afternoon after class, dragging you out to the plum tree away from the buildings.
You looked up at Noritoshi. As handsome as ever. Gentle and concerned (lies), with a strong hand reaching to cup your face (lies lies), speaking so carefully, "My angel, how are you? Why are you troubled? Have I done something to offend you?" (Lies, it was all lies).
He must be lying. Must have been since day 1. The way your brain just jumped to the most terrible scenarios in which he never liked you. There's no other reason. Your breathing quickened.
Both of you were still in the first stage of the soulmate bonding; therefore, you couldn’t share all emotions yet. Just urgent and strong random flashes of it, especially negative emotions. This is why both of you weren’t able to feel the love the other has through the bond yet.
You stopped smiling.
"I overheard your conversation with your father. I'm sorry for eavesdropping, but I had a present for you that I wanted to give you yesterday, so I waited outside your room. But that doesn't really matter anymore." You said, cooly shrugging off the hand on your face.
He stiffened, whole body tensing. 'No it was going so well with you, this can't be happening.' He thought to himself.
"Y/n I can explain-"
"Did you even feel anything for me? Besides our red string of Fate appearing?"
The marks on your wrists flowed in warning, searing hot pain flashed across both of you. But you ignored it. The devil on your shoulder pushing you to break things with him.
"Tell me the words you and your father spoke about yesterday were a lie." You begged him.
He couldn't say it was, because the conversation yesterday was only filled with truths. He was so confused, so he stayed silent.
You laughed at him without any real meaning or humor. The light had gone out of your eyes. Noritoshi felt himself shiver at the sound of it.
"So it was all true. Did you like me for me? Or because I'm your so-called soulmate whom you forced yourself to “love”- pshhh not even love, probably to tolerate, for the sake of power?"
Noritoshi’s head felt unfocused and his palms were sweating.
“I’m just a fucking game to you huh Kamo?!” You were freely crying now. He winced at the use of his family name.
Noritoshi found that he couldn’t breathe properly, much less reply to you. He had never seen you like this. What’s worse is your intense fear, sorrow, and disgust towards him was radiating so strongly through your bond.
“No you’re not.” He could hardly get the words out with how hard he’s breathing. It actually felt like the red strings were tying themselves around his neck. You scoffed at him unbelievingly.
He trembled as he lifted both hands to cup your face, but you stepped out of his reach. His hands dropped.
"You liar. I don't want this. If you just want to use me for my body, and to use me for your gain and for your family's benefit only to toss me aside for other women, then I don't want it." You spoke hoarsely. Your entire body was stiff, hands cold and voice quivering.
Your bond was hanging by a thread. The emotions of pain and betrayal bleeding over and muddling the delicate bond.
"I'm out. Go find some other bitch to breed for your sake of your precious heirs. I don't care if we are a fated pair. If you don't wanna put even an ounce of trust and honesty into our relationship then just fuck off." You turned around and walked away.
"Wait, no I-" Noritoshi gasped out as he snapped out of his shock, but you didn't turn back. You walked faster trying to ignore the voice you loved hearing so much.
Even if it hurts to break apart from him now, it is better than to have your heart broken again and again by staying with him.
"Y/n I do care about you. I do think of you everyday. You’re not a game to me. Didn't you hear what I said yesterday?" He called out desperately, stepping forward.
You ignored him, digging your nails into the palms of your hands at the pain from your soulbond falling apart. 'I won't be fooled any longer'.
Your bond was screaming at you to turn around and believe him. To believe that everything you've felt with him these past few weeks were real. That he truly loved you.
"Listen to me!" Noritoshi cried out.
You halted in your tracks. "I'm nothing to you. If you want to have other women as your concubines, go ahead. I know you can pick up as many women as you want with your standing. You clearly don’t need me. So I don't need you." Your last 4 words are a harsh slap to his face.
Snap. And your bond was left barely hanging with the smallest red thread that stubbornly refused to let go. But the damage was done. He couldn't feel your emotions anymore as his head filled with white noise.
Panic overcame Noritoshi like never before. This wasn’t like his normal self. He didn’t let himself think about anything else, but to run and pull you back in his arms.
Until he was physically stopped by an invisible barrier. Your solid air barrier that blocks all sound and forms of matter on the other side, keeping him away from you.
“No, no, no, no. Y/n Come back! I’m sorry! Speak to me!” He cried, furiously pounding at the invisible wall between the both of you. But you couldn’t hear him, much less know how he is feeling. After all, you’ve ended it with him already.
After you left, he remained rooted to his spot. His forehead leaning against the barrier, tears streaming down his face, as he stared at the place where he saw your figure disappear. It wasn't long ago that he had just fallen in love with you.
Your warmth, your laughter, the touches you give to him. Now everything felt so cold. "But I need you." He whispered out, sounding so broken.
The last few wilted leaves of the plum tree fell, leaving it bare to the cold winter. He remembered the words in the soulmate records of the Gojo Clan. “A soulbond can be rejected.”
Maybe he should have told you everything from the beginning and not hold back any secrets. He was terrified that your opinion of him would change, if you found out about his background and his mother. So he wanted to slowly ease you into the Kamo clan.
This was the worst.
As the sky grew dark, he went back into his room and for the first time, didn't bother studying. Just went straight to sleep.
What he wouldn't give to feel anything from your end. Even if it was anger or hatred, it would be better than this empty feeling.
Author's Notes: This chapter was the first chapter I've written before all others and is how Blood Bound came to be. You could say this is the core of the story, since it's the origin. Just had an angsty afternoon one day and chose violence🥰🤧

Chapter 18: 百鬼夜行 - Hyakki Yakou
The Night of the Hundred Demon Parade
Your head has definitely cooled down. The distance you put between you and Noritoshi was surprisingly helpful.
You can finally see how emotional you were when you lashed out at him during your breakup. Of course there were still things you had to clear up with him, but his words were enough to calm you down.
He's not a liar. You thought. If he has some things to explain he will. So the anger ebbs away into a low simmer as you put all that aside and focus on the biggest thing right now.
War with Geto Suguru.
◇◇◇
You were summoned back home by the head of the clan. AKA, your dad.
"The Tsuchimikado clan is also participating in this war. But we will be there to assist more with recovery and evacuation, rather than frontline combat. Y/n and Hiroki, both of you will also join the combat team." 
Your father will guard the recovery center (clinic on site), while your mother and some other clan members stay inside the clinic. 
You purse your lips together as you walk back to the room after the meeting ends. Hiroki walks along with you. He looks down at you from the corner of his eyes.
"Don't you dare try to do this on your own.”
"I know."
You won't.
◇◇◇ 
December 24, 2017. 
6:00pm
Location: Kyoto City, the Sacred Land of Jujutsu.
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Begins.
You were all stationed 20 minutes prior to the beginning of the battle. Windows and police officers who were working in cooperation with the Jujutsu Society had cleared out the crowd, leaving most of the streets bare. 
It was more difficult than expected, with hundreds of office workers still in their buildings, rushing to finish in time to go home early for Christmas eve. Most of the sorcerers have been stationed in the busiest locations in Kyoto. 
Noritoshi and Hiroki walked towards the central location on either side of you. They were near to you at least, and it saves you the time from looking for them in the crowd of curses.
Your eyes met Noritoshi's. His eyes softened as he held out a pinky towards you. You tapped your pinky against his.
'Stay close to me.' He mouthed.
'I know. I should be the one saying that.' You mouthed back. 
'Are you still mad at me?'
You turned to look at Hiroki who was very very obviously trying to ignore the both of you, head turned away to give you both a bit of privacy. 
The other Jujutsu sorcerers in the same squad were focused on clearing the area of civilians.
You drew closer to Nori, tugging on his sleeve. He didn't hesitate to lean down close. 
"I promise I'm not mad anymore Toshi. I'm just-"
You hesitated, throat clogging up as his father's words echoed in your ears. 
His eyebrows furrowed in worry. 
"Just- stay by my side. Okay?"
He pursed his lips and nodded, taking the chance to squeeze your hand. "Okay."
◇◇◇
From a distance, a Kitsune smiles upon seeing the bustling city of Kyoto. Under the cover of a glamour, people only saw a strikingly beautiful lady. Dressed in expensive white furs and silk clothing. Her hair, long and black falling past her waist, with red ribbons tying it back. 
But to the curses, she was their leader. A nine-tailed fox with the sharpest fangs and an even sharper mind.
Fire danced along her palms as she slowly walked forward, with nine long white tails tipped with red, gently swaying in the wind. 
"It has been over 400 years since I was in this city. It has changed far too much."
She watched as a family of four passed along, with a little boy and a little girl all bundled up in cute thick coats, excited at the prospect of Christmas.
The little girl held a teddy bear in her arms. She grinned up unknowingly at the Kitsune, waving a hello.
Holding out one delicate hand, the Kitsune's black and sharpened nails stretched towards the group. She scratched them one by one.
The blood and life force was sucked out of the humans, making them fall to the ground. Gray skinned and hollow, their corpses immediately started rotting on the ground, and their eyeballs fell out of their sockets.
The energy was absorbed into the Kitsune as cursed energy, giving her youth and power.
People began to scream.
"Now then, let's feast upon the humans to our hearts' content." 
Her fellow demons smiled. Behind the Kitsune, the Great Black Tsuchigumo of Kyoto twitched in delight.
◇◇◇
You stared off into the distance, trying to squint at the surrounding area. Hiroki was using you as his arm rest, as per usual, but you ignored him.
"See anything?" He asked.
"Not really. I can feel something heavy though. But I can't really pinpoint the location of the curses."
"No shit." 
You brushed his arm off, annoyed.
“Over there! I can see them!” Todo yelled. It took a moment for all the sorcerers to realize that the horde was coming in from one direction.
“What on earth…” you were in shock. A huge, large swarming mass of black was approaching all of you. As it grew nearer, the lights illuminated the figure.
It wasn’t a black mass. It was a horde of at least 300 curses, ranging from grade 4 to grade 1. There were skeletons, sitting atop gaunt horses, howling with rage from afar.
Tsukumogami, consisting of umbrellas, old sword hilts, tables, and books, were all moving forward. They are items filled with resentment from being abandoned by their owners, which made them burst forth as vengeful curses. Bloody ghosts of old widows with pale faces and black unkempt hair, quickly crawling on all fours, bleeding profusely from their elbows and knees. 
And those were simply a fraction of the curses you could make out from the frenzied chaos. The promise of death hung in the air. It almost looked like a scene out of Hyakki Yakou paintings on ancient scrolls. 
“Stand clear.” You held out a hand and drew out your cursed energy. 
You folded your thumb in, swept your right hand down to the ground and up in a semicircle, facing the horde of curses.
“Wide Range Oscillation technique: Niflheim.” They all froze into solid ice 20 meters away from you.
To be more specific, everything froze. A layer of frost covered streets, lights, even the plants, as the temperature in the area plummeted. You uttered a silent apology.
You immediately adopted the Inferno position. “Cursed Technique Reversal: Inferno!” You swapped your palms and the ice exploded. Everything turned from ice into flame and ashes in the matter of seconds.
The squad moved forward, taking down the remaining weakened curses. You had taken down only about a third of the frozen curses. You clicked your tongue in annoyance. It wasn’t enough.
Power was exchanged for a broader attack range.
Some of the stronger curses looked to be in good condition. Especially a Special Grade which approached Todo. He was lured away from your group following the Yokai lady. One with an extremely long dangling neck. You caught a flash of her opaque white eyes with splotches of blood red, filled with a silent murderous intent.
Chills ran up your spine. Some of the curses came from old legends and tales. They're bound to be more powerful than average.
You flew up into the sky, watching the battles. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw a civilian woman crying whilst holding a little girl to her chest. Immediately you dived in to kill a three headed ghoul, slamming it down against the pavement. 
You gave them a once over, confirming no injuries before reaching out to them, “Come here! I can bring you to a safe place!” They quickly held onto you as you walked them out of the center of chaos. 
“Hiroki!” You screamed. It wasn’t smart of you to leave the battlefield, but you prioritised evacuation and rescue above all else.
“I’m busy!” He had his double-edged sword out, swinging it wildly and flawlessly against the curses. Another loomed to your right, the little girl screamed before you held out your hand, flattening it into a pancake before it disappeared. 
“Follow me.” You brought them to the clinic. Your mother was inside making ointments with your uncles who specialize in reverse cursed techniques. “Mama! Civilians!” 
Your mother motioned to the windows and medical staff, “We have emergency paramedics on site. Come here.”
The little girl clung to your pants. “Big sister, aren’t you coming along with us?”
“No, it’s okay, you go with your mom to somewhere safe okay?”
She reluctantly left you behind, carried by her mom who profusely thanked you while sobbing. “You saved our lives, may I have your name please!”
“Tsuchimikado.” You felt a lump form in your throat, but this wasn't the time to cry. 
After they had left, your mother quickly gave you more essential medicines in glass amber vials.
“Off you go. And come back safely to me.” She kissed you on the forehead and bid you goodbye.
“Thanks Ma, I will.” You flew out of the makeshift clinic and quickly dove back into the battlefield. Eyeing the surroundings, crushing and tearing apart curses with your technique left and right.
Until you saw a curse launch itself at Noritoshi while he was preoccupied with a 2nd grade curse. You immediately shot forward, stood back to back with him, and pushed out a palm which activated Tornado.
“Thank you.” He gasped out, realizing he was close to having been hit.
“They seem to be swarming around you. I wonder if the smell of blood is affecting the curses.” 
As if on cue, a bunch of giant cursed leeches crawled towards the both of you. You flew up, quickly jumping from building to building to stab through them. Before returning to Noritoshi’s side. 
It was true. The location where he is at is incredibly congested. You continued this for about an hour or so, fighting curses back to back, surrounded by flames and smoke.
“This must be Deja Vu.” He exclaimed. Both of your eyes met and it felt like time slowed down. This very reminiscent of your first shared vision together. You wondered if he thought the same.
“It’s reality.” You retorted, throwing a spear just beside his face, killing a curse. 
Noritoshi moved seamlessly around you. It was frustrating how well you both matched up as partners in battle. Even though you weren’t as close to him as you used to be, your body knew how he would move before it even happened.
Stupid soulmate bond and stupid handsome man.
As he swung his arm towards you, you ducked low and his fist met a third grade curse, pulverising it. You smoothly threw a dagger towards a looming curse, watching as Noritoshi jumped over your back to avoid it and launch arrows against incoming curses behind your back.
There was not a single wasted movement from the both of you.
He was also watching you move out of the corner of his eye. Your whip lashed out, like a fork of lightning. Well it was accurate, since your metallic whip did conduct electricity while you activated Goldenrod, stunning the curses around you.
A huge Kappa, covered in moss and dripping with muddy water, launched itself at Noritoshi. He fired three arrows, but it bounced off its belly. You didn't hesitate to lift him into your arms and fly into the air, narrowly missing the Kappa as it crushed the ground where you both previously stood.
"Y/N, I should be the one carrying you."
"It’s fine. And shoot your arrows at his head." You set him down in mid-air and he scrambled back into your arms. 
"Don't let go!! I'm going to fall"
"No you're not, I'm not letting go of you." You held onto his sleeve.
He set a foot down to feel a solid invisible floor under him. You're both about 500 meters above ground. "Curious." Then he fired arrows straight into its brain with pinpoint precision, immediately killing it on the spot. 
"How did you know it was the head?"
"Ah, Hiroki has faced some before. He had to learn it the hard way." You let him hold onto your back as you flew over the chaos, launching attacks when you saw openings. 
Noritoshi couldn't fire arrows like this so you had to set him down, in another area that's a bit more quiet than the first one. 
You both continued fighting for a while, thinning the crowd of curses easily. Far too easily. Noritoshi was grateful you had his back. It was as you promised during your first mission. Not a single curse touched him.
Before long, the area was cleared. Your eyes narrowed as you sensed a looming heavy presence of a powerful curse. 
Noritoshi's hand slipped into yours on pure instinct, "A special grade is near, my love." You didn't have the thought to push him away, after having promised to stay by him. 
You chewed on the inside of your cheek, before whirling around, your twin blade flipping out from underneath your sleeve. A huge black spider, much bigger than you remembered it being, came into light. This explains the lack of curses nearby. 
The Tsuchigumo had changed. It had grown far larger and more fearsome than the last time you remembered it to be. Geto must have fed it more human remains.
It had the face of a demon, with two large red horns, its body had a black human-like torso which ended at the waist. From there, it was connected to the round body of a spider. There were 8 legs, with sharp red claws extending from the ends of each one. 
But it's eyes were exactly as you remembered. A luminescent green that seemed to glow in the dark.
Your body remembered the feeling of fear for a moment. 
“I’m right here.” Noritoshi whispered, bringing you back to the present. Things are different from before. 
The Tsuchigumo lunged forward, but Noritoshi was prepared. He quickly threw out a pack of blood, “Blood Manipulation: Crimson Binding!” The Tsuchigumo lost its balance as its legs were tied by thick strands of blood. 
It was able to tear through the bindings, but it took a few seconds to do so. That was all the time you needed.
“Niflheim!” You pushed out a hand, and it froze. You closed your hand into a tight fist, "Enhanced Gravity. Output at 35%". 
"Slicing Exorcism!"
It was too much for the curse, your huge mass of cursed energy squeezed it down. Combined with Noritoshi's attack, it was exorcised in an instant, dissolving in black and violet sludge.
And from its remains, a huge pile of skeletons and skulls came rolling out. Remains of the deceased humans it kept to maintain its larger form. Typically, this doesn't normally happen with curses, as they usually disappear without a trace. There was lingering curse energy on the skulls and bones.
You staggered back to Noritoshi, who quickly caught you.
It felt so anticlimactic. Even as you killed this curse, it doesn't change the fact that life goes on. You do the same thing every day. Without her.
You turn to look up at Noritoshi as he wipes away a few stray tears ever so carefully. Even with the chaos in the background, he takes time to bring you back down to earth. "Y/n. We have to keep fighting."
‘Can you handle the stress?’ Was left unasked. 
You nodded. "Yeah I'm good to go. Thanks Toshi."
A huge explosion took both of your attention and you quickly turned to move forward. Clearing the area that was suddenly flooded with crows. 
Tengu? You guessed, but didn't think any further as you burned them all with Inferno. Making them turn to ash with one hit.
You failed to realize that Noritoshi hasn't followed your lead. Not noticing the skulls on the ground come alive and attack him. He quickly went on the defensive.
It was living hell on earth. You had never seen such a large amount of curses all at once. And they weren’t just grade 3 or 4. These were fully fledged grade 2 and above curses. 
You spun around and finally realized Noritoshi wasn't beside you. 
“Noritoshi? Toshi?!” You looked around before seeing him a few feet back. Why did he stop moving? You followed his line of sight until you saw it. The Kitsune whose eyes were glowing a bright golden color, hands stretching and sweetly beckoning to your soulmate. 
He had a look of longing as he slowly walked towards her. You were so confused. It looked like he was in love with her. That look in his eyes made your stomach churn with envy.
“TOSHI!” You ran towards him. 
He looked over to you, eyes widening. He looked back at the Kitsune, then back at you seemingly confused and unable to move.
“What are you doing?!” you hissed.
Her eyes glowed a bright Crimson red. A red magic circle formed on the ground under Noritoshi.
Oh no. Your body had moved before you realized, going forward to reach him.
Your fingers stretched as far as they could towards Noritoshi's, but it missed him just by a few inches. 
They say all is fair in love and war. But to you, it never felt that way. Nothing was fair. 
Frustrated tears ran down your cheek as Noritoshi was pulled by an invisible force, quickly settling down a few feet away from the Kitsune, to her left. 
A ring of fire emerged around him, lighting up his features in a hauntingly beautiful way.
Hiroki was in the same situation on her right side, you numbly realized. As well as two other Jujutsu Windows assigned to your area. They struggled but were trapped within an invisible barrier that encapsulated the markings on the ground.
"I wouldn't move if I were you. Little miss esper chan. You move and they die." She sang. Her voice was melodic, making you a bit woozy.
For a moment you thought she looked like Sora, but you cleared your head, refocused on her, and remained still. Your vision clarified, seeing the features of the Kitsune clearly.
There was a huge amount of cursed energy seeping out of her. The Tsuchigumo was like an infant in comparison to this Kitsune.
The two other windows behind struggled against the flaming magic rings, but they couldn't move.
She flicked a hand, the circles glowed and a flash of light appeared. Thorns pierced both windows and they crumpled to the ground, twitching. Dark crimson spilled across the ground.
Well fuck. Your palms began to sweat, and your thoughts were moving at a breakneck pace.
"I'll save those two for dinner."
Your insides wrung themselves in anxiety at her words.
"But these two are obviously close to you. Your scent hangs over their bodies. Would you like me to spare one?" She smiled, salivating from seeing the pain and hurt on your face.
"Make a choice. Choose one man. The one you love more."
"Jujutsu Sorcerers always face death in their daily endeavours," Satoru's words echoed in your ears. 
Time seemed to slow down. Your memories quickly flashed before your eyes. 
"It's normal to put your life on the line. It's sad but normal to lose your friends, comrades and family. I don't think there's a lot of Jujutsu Sorcerers who haven't faced a form of loss before. Knowingly or unknowingly." He had told you as he stood with you before Sora's grave.
They had some degree of information on your technique. You knew it was Suguru's doing and regret ever showing him how it works when you were so young. 
"I am merciful aren't I? Choose one man and I might just spare his life. Or I might spare the other one's instead. Who knows?" The Kitsune sang delicately as she slowly paced around. Holding both men hostage. 
"Won't you take me instead?" You asked. 
"Darling, no!" "Shut the fuck up sis!" Both men yelled at the same time. 
The Kitsune smiled as though the cat got the canary. "Oh I wish I could. How I wish it could be! But if I take you, you could tear me to shreds in an instant. After all, you took down that Tsuchigumo in an instant didn't you?"
You stood still, not daring to move and noticed that the windows have stopped moving. Dead, you assumed.
You analysed her powers in the span of a few seconds. First, she seemed to have a limit as to where she can activate her magic circles. 
Second, how many circles can she activate at once? Why weren't you taken as hostage as well. 
You must have had something they didn't. Or something that didn't make it easy to fool you. You saw Noritoshi getting hypnotised momentarily. Maybe it was that knowledge that saved you.
Third, is the attack activated within the circle, or do her attacks merely use the circle as a target point? 
Your eyes are better than most and you're gifted with fast reflexes. You tried to think back on the two that were taken down by her earlier. 
It was a piercing attack. Even if it's from outside, your spacial warp barrier can only work in one area at a time. Using it around both men isn't possible for you right now. 
So it came down to your speed. You really are forced to choose someone.
"Make a move without answering me, and I will fire at both of them."
And you have to make sure your body doesn't make a single move for the time being.
Your eyes flicked over to Hiroki, who looked so helpless that your heart broke. He seemed to have accepted death. He urged you to get to Noritoshi with his eyes. 
Then you tried to look at Noritoshi the best you could. He was staring at you like he was at a museum and you were a piece of art. You were so shocked by how calm he looked. 
"Your brother." He smiled. He drank in the sight of you, blood of curses and curse users alike all over you. But still every bit as radiant and as beautiful as you always have been to him. Wanting to engrave your image in his final moments. 
Oh how he loved you so much. "Go to him, my love."
You closed your eyes. You had to choose to let one go tonight.

Chapter 15: Shadows Fall
You numbly sat down on your bed. The room was dark. Your Phoenix brand, silent, a dull sepia stain on your inner wrist.
It hurts a lot.
“He’s no different to the power hungry elders of this corrupt society after all huh.” You were disappointed. It was dumb of you to give your heart away to him. Especially to a man who was already planning on taking in concubines, this early into your “relationship”.
You checked your phone to see the notifications. Mai and Miwa were looking for you, saying that you have dinner out with them in a few minutes.
'Ah, that was supposed to be for tonight' you thought.
"Sorry can't go, feeling unwell. You guys go ahead." You texted back to them as you slumped on your bed.
After a few minutes your door slammed open. "Where have you been?!" Mai asked, but stopped talking upon seeing your red rimmed eyes. Miwa peeked out behind her. "Are you okay y/n?" She asked.
That question absolutely crushed you. You started sobbing again, not being able to hide your shaking shoulders. The two girls filed in and closed your door.
"We are ordering take out. Miwa go ahead and cancel that reservation. We will stay in tonight." Mai said. "Right!" Miwa worriedly replied as she pulled out her phone and made the call.
"I'm not here to baby you. You will tell me what happened, okay?" Mai demanded.
"I need a few minutes" everything looked so blurry through your tears, Mai and Miwa only looked like unfocused blobs of dark green and bright blue. Literally, the only way you could distinguish the two girls at this point was by their hair color.
They couldn't get much out of you other than you talking about how Kamo-san never liked you in the first place and how you pushed yourself onto him.
The girls held you as you cried. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. "But both of you looked great. I'm sure Kamo senpai really liked you though?" Miwa questioned out loud.
Mai just nodded her head. "I said it before already. Both of you act like you're so oblivious to each other's affections. But I do agree that you put more effort into the relationship. He always turns down your request for dates off campus. Even an outsider could see that."
"No, no it’s not that. You guys know how the big 3 clans operate. He just felt that I was a suitable wife to bear his heirs. They're jumping at the chance to use me to get a blood-manipulator jujutsu shi who may also possibly inherit my psychokinesis technique. I don't want to stay in a relationship without any love in it." You whispered.
Your voice was all gone after you sobbed for hours. The fight and energy just drained out of your body.
They couldn't say anything to that as it was your relationship with Kamo and not theirs. That night, they slept over in your room, the three of you squishing into your queen sized bed and plushies.
◇◇◇
On the other hand, Noritoshi had woken up from his nap, bedhead and red rimmed eyes and all. Clearly remembering all your painful words. He looked over to the side, staring at the Jade dragon pendant atop his bedside table. A small pink letter resting beside it, one that you had given him days prior.
‘Dearest Toshi,
You must be exhausted from all of your extra tasks given to you by your clan as of the late. I hope that it gets better soon, I’m here if ever you want to talk about it or if you need any help with that. My family and I are open to supporting you in your endeavors, though you haven't met them yet. Hiroki nii is especially excited to meet you, I can already see the both of you getting along quite well. Whenever you’re ready <3
Have a good evening.
Love, Y/N.’
He felt tears burn behind his eyelids.
“It was too sudden, I couldn’t even understand half the things she said to me earlier,” he murmured to himself. He racked his brain, trying to recall the things you said. It was mostly a blur to him.
Something about what he and his father talked about yesterday. That wasn’t an issue, it was mostly clan duties as per usual.
Also, how he never liked you. Well, he hasn’t confessed yet, but he couldn’t see why you’d bring that up out of nowhere when everything was still fine 2 days ago.
Concubines. The talk on concubines. Why did you- Oh. “... from yesterday” Noritoshi’s head was getting clearer and clearer. You must have misunderstood the conversation he had with his father, and left before it finished. It didn’t sound pretty now that he thought of it.
He had that single-minded goal of pleasing his father and the elders, but somehow you got tangled in the mess.
He sighed frustratedly. It always seemed to be the case with you jumping conclusions about him, didn’t it? Now he has to clear it up with you before it gets too bad.
◇◇◇
You woke up the next morning feeling and looking like utter shit. Mai and Miwa had to dress you up and drag you out of bed.
“There’s only one thing you can do now Y/N.” Mai said as she straightened out your collar. “Get over him.”
Huh. Easier said than done.
◇◇◇
There was a drastic change in your behaviour towards Noritoshi. The name "Noritoshi-senpai", that you had always cheerily called out, was replaced by a short and curt "Kamo-san" whenever conversation was necessary. Also, you don’t look into his eyes anymore.
You avoided him as much as you can, thanking yourself for knowing his schedule so well. Not hesitating to turn and go around in another direction if you ever saw him approaching from a distance. Because of this he rarely sees you on campus.
It hurt Noritoshi badly to see you act this way. He never realized just how warm you were with him until now that it was all gone. He tried to catch you during your breaks, calling out your name with the same tenderness he always had. But it was in vain as you ran away from him.
Todo and Momo wisely chose not to make any snide comments, upon seeing how downhearted Noritoshi was in the following days.
Everybody avoided eye contact with both of you if and when you had to interact. It couldn't be helped. The tension was like a fine piece of glass waiting to shatter.
The pain in your heart didn't subside at all. You've taken to staring at the mark on your wrist.
'Did I successfully reject our bond?' You wondered hollowly.
Sometimes you half expect your mark to start flashing wildly, like whenever you and Noritoshi have off days with each other. But this is the first time you've seen it so… silent.
You wrapped it up with more darker velvet strips and ignored it.
It was the opposite on Noritoshi’s end. He would lie in bed and stare at the mark that is dangerously bright red and hot. It almost felt painful, like someone was searing a brand onto his skin.
He wrapped it up in gauze bandages and put salves to soothe the mark. But it was never enough. He needed you back.
◇◇◇
During one afternoon, you just finished an English lesson with one of the windows who teaches at Jujutsu High. You stood up from your desk and turned to see the man outside of your classroom.
"Y/n, are you free for lunch?" Noritoshi had obviously sprinted as soon as his lessons had ended. “We need to talk.” All 4 of you looked up to see him outside the classroom, as composed as ever. But he looked terrible.
There were shadows under his eyes, and he seemed to have gotten thinner. The shitty side of you was cruelly happy. Good that he’s like this, because he lost his toy. Good on him. But your heart was sad, yelling at you to go back and take care of him already.
"Ah I'm sorry, but I've got lunch with the rest of the 1st year's here." You politely declined. Trying to school your face into a neutral expression.
"I insist." He firmly stated. He looked over to the other students. "You don't mind if I borrow her do you?"
You inwardly scoffed at his poor choice of words. The stupid arse still thinks I'm his belonging apparently. Something to be borrowed and used.
But Mai stepped up. "If she doesn't want to hang out with you then she doesn't." Miwa was fidgeting worriedly. "Now now." She started.
"I really wanted to have lunch with my fellow 1st years, if you could please excuse us Kamo San." You hastily uttered, pulling Mai's arms towards you while turning away. The other first years followed your lead.
But Noritoshi was determined. He quickly put his hand on your shoulder, only for you to slap it away and flinch from him. Everybody froze.
You were clearly trembling, which made Noritoshi lower his hand and step back. "I'm sorry y/n." Whether the apology was for holding you without your consent or for everything that happened, you painfully let it slide. Silently bowing to him, then quickly walking away with the others.
Noritoshi could only watch wistfully as your figure disappeared from his view.
◇◇◇
"The nerve of shitty men," Mai angrily stuffed her mouth with eggs from her bento. "Thinking they own women, that they're better than us. It was like this with the men in my family as well. Bullying and kicking aside the weaker women."
You sadly poked at your food. It was katsudon. You ordered it ahead of time from the cafeteria, wanting to perk up with a favorite dish. But today it tastes so bland. It wasn't the cooking that was off. Just that you had no appetite.
"Wouldn't you want to talk it out with Kamo senpai, y/n?" Miwa asked. Truth be told you were adding fire to the problem. You just dumped your anger on Noritoshi and kept rudely cutting him off before leaving him.
But your pride and broken heart didn't allow you to go back to him. "I don't think there's anything left for me to say or do to be honest. I'm not in the mood to face him. At all." You lied.
Mechamaru surprisingly spoke out, "Love is a fickle thing. And it's a fact that women are more in tune with their emotions than men are. But I think you won't regret it if you give him a chance. Kamo Noritoshi isn't a bad man."
Mai huffed. "Whose side are you even on?"
"There are no sides. Just two idiots who are madly in love with each other." Mechamaru dryly replied.
Your heart clenched, but you stayed silent, not denying the fact that even after you pushed him away, you still loved him.
"Let's talk about something else shall we?" Miwa hurriedly changed the topic and started discussing the homework to be done.
◇◇◇
Hiroki was both the best and the worst brother you could ask for. Because he chose this time to surprise you with a visit at Kyoto High, claiming he wanted to see how you were doing with classes and that he would stay for a while.
Secretly, he wanted to meet and gauge Noritoshi, only to find out that the both of you have just broken up. You brought him into your dorm room to have a chat and some snacks.
“WHA?! YOU- You ended things with your soulmate?! You were together for like what?! 4 Months?” His jaw dropped as you told him the entire story.
You gave a drawn out sigh. “Hiro nii, I’m done. Like… He… I dunno anymore. To be honest I broke up with him in the heat of the moment.”
“Tsk, you’ve always been led by your emotions. That’s why you’re so reckless half the time sis. You didn’t even try to talk it out with him.” He asked as he opened a bag of chips.
You stayed silent and reached for chips. Chewing and ignoring him.
“What’s with you and bottling all your pent up anger only to toss it onto the poor guy? Didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself.” he tutted.
You whirled on him angrily. “They just want me for my power. Then they’ll let him off with like a dozen women around him. What the fuck is there for him to explain?!”
Hiroki looked way too calm. “Who are 'they'?”
You paused. “The Kamo family.”
“Are you 100% sure Noritoshi was in this only to use you?”
“Like 99.99%...” you trailed off. Hiroki eyed you knowingly. “That 0.01 percent chance of him loving you. You considered it, even though that’s a small ass probability sis. But hey, that’s your man. If you want him out, our family’s got your back. I’ll beat him up for you if you need me to”
You shook your head at him.
Hiroki sighed, “Though with that concubine thing, I can see it happenin’. Clan heads are desperate to have a son with the inherited technique. The Gojo clan just got lucky with Satoru. We dunno if it’s normal in the Kamo clan though. But with you as his soulmate, he shouldn’t need any. Somethin ain’t addin up…” He got lost in thought.
“You won’t know until you talk with Kamo himself.”
You sadly continued eating your chips. “I hate it when you’re right.”
◇◇◇
The next morning Utahime urgently called for a full student body plus all available jujutsu sorcerers on site for a meeting.
You and Hiroki stumbled into the room, almost late, pushing against each other. The other students looked curiously at the man who was fighting you for space on the couch.
You jabbed him in the gut and put a leg over his. “Uhhhh y/n who is that?” Mai asked.
Your cousin shrugged your leg off of his, stood up and said his greetings, “Hello, I am Tsuchimikado Hiroki. Alumni here at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Semi-grade 1 sorcerer. Pleased to meet you all and thanks for taking care of my lil sis- ah I mean cousin.”
“Ohhhh” Miwa took a closer look. You noticed Noritoshi glancing over at you. Todo walked up to him and pointed a finger, “Tsuchi’s relative? Then what woman is your idea-”
You used your technique to immobilise Todo and forced him to sit down in a daze. “Sorry for my rudeness, senpai. You can have that convo later.” You knew it would take too long if this starts again.
Hiroki looked affronted, “It’s rude to point bruh.”
Utahime clapped her hands to gather your attention as Principal Gakuganji appeared on the podium.
“Thank you so much all for coming into this meeting on such short notice. Especially to the alumni and other available Jujutsu sorcerers. Let's get straight to the point: I am here to announce that War is coming.”

This chapter is LONG, a lot longer than I expected haha, happy reading!
Chapter 16: Non-Standard
Noritoshi was in a shitty mood to say the least. He went home to his clan immediately after getting a summon. The clan head had discussed their stance on the upcoming war and is readying their jujutsu sorcerers for battle.
His half-brother had made a not too subtle snarky remark about you. "You've already gotten yourself a woman? Wonder if she even likes you. I'm willing to bet Homura's cuter than her." Secretly his brother was curious about you, having heard about your special grade status.
Noritoshi steeled himself, knowing his brother's playboy tendencies at his school.
"That's enough. I am quite serious about her, so don't even think of taking her."
He watched his brother shut up upon seeing him like this and left him hanging.
'Heeehhh? That Noritoshi is actually interested in someone? Interesting…'
Other serious matters aside, his father, as usual, asked about you, only for him to find out you've both gotten into an argument.
The head of the Kamo clan only raised an eyebrow. "That’s normal for every couple."
Noritoshi kept his temper at bay. But he couldn't help resenting his phone call with his father that day. If his father was less controlling and obsessive over their clan status, maybe it would have gone better.
No... He was also influenced by the elders. Ashamed as Noritoshi was to acknowledge it himself.
“We… broke up…”
At that, his father shuts his eyes, mood obviously souring.
"You are literally a fated pair, how is that even possible? *sigh* If it proves too difficult with her… well we had that list of marriage partners set up for you. Homura has made it quite clear she and her family would be very delighted to assimilate with ours."
Is this what Noritoshi wanted? A woman who obviously flirted with him as she lusted for power? No, he wanted you, who never inquired about his status. Just about his family, his mom, dad and half siblings.
You made it very clear you were worried about his family's well-being. And whether they would like you or not. You want him to meet yours. You never even asked him for a gift or much favors. (Though he had a feeling your family was pretty well off, based on your clothes and jewellery.)
And he loved the fact that he could breathe like a regular teenage guy around you. The only thing you’ve requested from him so far was honesty and transparency.
"No. That won't be needed. Y/N is mine. She is the only one for me." He spoke slowly and clearly. This is the first time he actually disagreed with his father. He'd lose his sanity without you.
"I expected as much, I've never seen you this determined about something before. Soulmates are so complicated." His father sighed out. "Do as you wish. It isn't wise for me or the elders to interfere with something as sacred and ancient as this soulbond you share with her anyways."
Noritoshi felt himself earn a small win at that. He was growing a backbone. "Thank you father."
“However! You cannot force her to love you back. Surely you know this. If you don’t get married by the age of 25, as per our clan tradition I’ll have you set up with another woman.”
Noritoshi inwardly sighed, resigned to his fate.
◇◇◇
Needless to say, you trained like a demon as the eve of Christmas quickly approached. Nobody dared come 10 feet near you as you perfected your Blizzard and Tornado techniques. It was normal to hear the crack of a sonic boom and see flashes of lightning around you.
You were hesitant to use your cursed technique reversal. You barely use flames and Inferno in general, but it can't be helped. But now you hold a pack of matches in your hand.
You lit a match and manipulated the flames. It danced dangerously around your fingers before you moved it from one hand to the other.
You were doing well. Spending a lot of time here on campus helped you to control your emotions and not let anger fuel your cursed energy like you did when you were younger. Those were such bad habits.
A wheel of flame circled in front of you. Very clean and stable. All of the sudden, a strong whirl of wind and empty space extinguished the flames like a vacuum … Only one other person in Japan is capable of doing that other than you.
You turned your head to the side and saw an incredibly tall man with snow white hair and a pair of sunglasses approached you. His bright baby blue eyes gently twinkling and peeking over the rims of his shades.
“Satoru nii, it’s been a while. Why visit me now?” You tiredly asked. He came up just a few inches away from you, staring down at you.
“I got a call from Hiroki. I’m here to help you with your special cursed techniques. It’s time, you’ve stopped holding yourself back Neko-chan.” He leered down with his trademark grin.
◇◇◇
You spend the entire afternoon getting pushed around by Satoru. This man was crazy strong. He kicked you against a tree. “OOF” you heaved.
"You avoid using Inferno. Is it because of your childhood trauma? I'm not shaming you but it's something you need to overcome."
You frowned at his words.
"You only have today to train with me y/n! Aren’t you honored I went out of my way from Tokyo to Kyoto?”
"Like hell I am."
“You’re not using the full extent of your cursed techniques. That power is your one true ally in this world. Trust it a bit more. Apart from your soulmate anyways, but I can see you and Noritoshi aren't exactly swell right now." Your eye twitched at that statement.
Satoru eyed the broken strands of red ropes that floated around you. Not a good sign. It was reaching out to the distance. Maybe to where Noritoshi is huh, Satoru wondered. Until he spotted one thin string, still very much intact and alive. He grinned.
‘This prick and his fucking special eye abilities’, you grumbled. He hit your back hard, “What bad language you have. Imma straighten you up today kitteeeen~”
He pranced around you and squatted to lean down to your level.
"But seriously, you say you want to get strong but you fear your own power kitten. Don't do that." Satoru pointed straight at your eyes. “Remove the fear of hurting the people around you. Because you’re literally fighting to protect the ones you love, focus instead on harnessing your cursed energy to fight. Your messed up emotions could cost you a fight, even your life. Doesn’t matter if you’re a special grade like me. At this rate you won’t catch up to me.”
You slumped to the ground in defeat.
“To be honest, I feel like my growth has stunted. I don’t know if it’s the lack of powerful opponents I’ve had lately.”
He sighed out so loudly and obnoxiously that your anger flared up at him. “Thaaat’s what I kept telling you. You shoulda come to Tokyo Jujutsu instead of here! 100% I would enjoy teaching you and I mean it. I could teach you ya know, and Yuuta is there as well. Another Special Grade, although his circumstances are quite unique and with the way he is right now, you have a better chance at beating him one-on-one since he’s a newbie to this world. And yet you kept saying you wanted to be here for your family.” He shook his head.
You felt as though your head cleared up all of a sudden. “Because I was here…. I was meant to be here. Satoru. I know it deep in my soul. Because I met Noritoshi and…. “ Your heart throbbed so loudly you heard it in your ears. A deep pain stabbed into you.
Ah right. You said you were over him. You broke up with him weeks ago.
“And? You’re not together anymore. Figure out your heart and I could let you reconsider transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High you know?” He said with a frown.
Why does the idea of leaving Noritoshi behind feeling like you were carving your heart out? He isn’t anything to you anymore and yet…
No. Enough of this. You’re here to train and fight that curse that killed Sora. Your emotions were all over the place. Satoru came up to you and wiped your tears off your face.
“What are you doing to yourself y/n? Don’t lie to yourself. I thought you wanted to live life as honestly as possible.” Even Satoru looked concerned and troubled over your state.
You gulped. “Yeah you’re right. I told myself I wanted to get stronger and protect the ones I love. Now I’m just running away. Noritoshi at least has been trying to reach out to me, but I shut him down.” Your heart is hurting.
Satoru stared at you and the cursed energy that was rapidly pulsing around you. Then grinned. “Then... Fight me one-on-one right here right now. Let’s make sure to keep the damages to a minimum and take care of the buildings. All the other students are still here on campus. Sky's the limit since both of us can move well in mid-air. I want to see you control your emotions and fight me properly. I’ll hold back.” He said.
You took a deep breath and looked back up. “Challenge accepted.”
You’ve envisioned this countless times. You wanted to see how you could match-up against Satoru and all his years of experience. You weren’t expecting to win, but you were not going down without a fight. Your cursed technique is actually a good matchup for his.
You can manipulate molecules. Though you suspect his control is on an atomic level, and thus could overpower yours due to his finesse and 6 eyes. But you could at the very least try.
Satoru, on the other hand, already knew of your potential. 'She is the only one I know who can actually touch and surpass me, given that she can control gravity and condense molecules. It will come down to timing and refining techniques.'
“Give me 5 minutes to suit up.” You asked. He agreed. You flew to your room and eyed the katana of your father. He actually planned to give it to Sora when she turns 16. But due to her death, he gave it to you instead on your 16th.
The name was Kintsugi, because it was made of two halves before being welded together in the centre with high grade steel. The center has a core of a fine diamond dust that’s infused with cursed energy. It’s a grade 1 special tool that multiplies the cursed energy you put into it by 10.
“Don’t break it. Don’t break it…. But It’s Satoru I’m going against. It will break.” And so you put it back and instead reached for your best twin blades and metallic whip. You coiled it around your wrist like a bangle, before flying back to Satoru.
“Done preparing, kitten?” He had removed his sunglasses and his blue eyes were out wide open as they assessed your cursed technique.
“Yep!” You yelled. “Ah Toru, shouldn’t we inform the elders or Utahime sensei that we-”
He didn’t give you time to speak as he appeared in front of you all of the sudden. Rushing with a right hook. You quickly dodged. He kept his word and is going easy on you at least.
You exchanged a few blows with him, both his limitless and your spacial barrier active so technically, no hits were landed.
Until you warped the space and forced the molecules around them to retract, making you actually reach and hit him.
He must have expected the solid punch, because in return, he kicked you as he warped off your spacial barrier. You eyed him as you regrouped. It’s anyone’s game huh.
“You’re still holding back! Are you going to be like this in a real battle? Are you okay with staying weak? Or do you have to wait for someone special to die before you ignite?!”
Oh no he didn’t. Your emotions raged, and you tried to calm them down. But all you saw was blood red. You never felt this angry at Satoru before. Before you knew it, you had activated inferno, making the entire surrounding area, which Satoru was in, combust and burn up in flames.
You lit up a match and pulled the flames on the ground and trees towards your smaller flame and held a massive ball of fire. Satoru was gone, it was only soot on the ground. You looked up to see him hurtling down at you.
You barely dodged, before wrapping the flames around you as you used it to strike at him repeatedly. You both rose up higher and higher into the air.
“Special art: Goldenrod,” you shot a bolt of lightning at Satoru only for him to dodge it. “Don’t just shoot it from your hands! Electricity is a current! You can make it run through your entire body!” He yelled as you both spiraled and fought over the campus.
He had the energy to teach you while you were fighting. You scoffed, but listened carefully, generating electricity in your hands before letting it wrap around you.
You were both dodging and striking at each other with such power. The trees swayed violently as winds and rubble were thrown about.
“What on earth…” Noritoshi and the other students stared at the flashes of fire, lightning, and wind above the campus.
The sky darkened. Good. If you had water, that was another asset.
He must have realized this as he immediately activated his Cursed Technique: Reversal. “Red.” You were forced back, plummeting to the ground. You swiftly turned and saw Miwa and Mai staring at you with horror.
You pulled yourself up back into the sky, still filled with fire and lightning, narrowly missing the building. You twisted your fingers to the side. The flames turned into the shape of the Dragon and you whipped back to hit Satoru from the front while your dragon of flame hit him from behind.
He danced around your attacks, teleporting from one area to the next to dodge them.
He then easily extinguished your flames with a flick of his wrist, but your lightning stayed. He can’t extinguish it, because it was coursing through your body, constantly moving.
You both stood, hundreds of feet high above the Kyoto Campus in midair. Lightning flashed above and winds howled.
You’ve never been pushed this hard your entire life. Not with Hiroki. Not with Todo. But Satoru was really on another level of strong. Unbreakable like a monster. He didn’t feel human anymore.
You tried for a Mach Speed hit, which you’ve never tried on anyone else; it would kill them on impact. “Mach 3.5” There was a loud BANG!
Going at Mach Speed has its limits of course. You can afford to do Mach 1, 5 times a day. Mach 2, 3 times, and Mach 4 only once.
A huge cone of smoke formed behind you as you launched yourself at Satoru. He was still able to evade you, but you pointed one hand to him, quickly following up on another attack.
“Fubuki.” Your blizzard technique was a combination of Niflheim and Tatsumaki. Cold air whipped around you and you thrust it towards Satoru. A mini tornado has formed around you and it pushed and pulled widely. But you were in the eye of the storm.
Satoru dodged your winds, but couldn’t escape them all, wincing as some small ice shards cut into his skin. He attracted debris and rocks towards you. One caught on your shoulder, making you yell in pain, but the rest you were able to guard against with your winds.
He immediately closed in on you to prevent you from doing another full blast and punched with ‘Red’. You countered with a roundhouse kick supercharged with your blizzard and lightning, neutralising his infinity jujutsu with a bit of mixed gravity control.
A huge gust of whirlwind was emitted from the impact, forcing everyone on campus down to the ground.
“GOJO! TSUCHIMIKADO! STOP THIS!” Utahime was screaming at the top of her lungs, still heard over the roar of thunderclap.
You both looked at each other and knew it had to end soon. Rain was starting to fall.
He threw his back and laughed out loud. “I hadn’t had this much fun in ages. You’ve grown really strong. Stop me if you can.” And flew away from the buildings and into the surrounding forest. You whipped your tornado around you and quickly followed him.
All the other students that had been watching you go at it followed. Utahime did as well. They stood from a distance as both of you exchanged more hits.
You lit another match and let arrows made of flames rain on Satoru, weakening his limitless barrier as much as you could. Only one arrow slightly singed his sleeve. Damn he was good.
Satoru attracted your body with “Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue.” You felt like your insides were tearing as you tried to stop his force. But his limitless technique easily overpowered yours. You let go and rushed towards him with both your swords out.
He easily sidestepped and kicked them out of your grasp. The hit was so heavy, even though it hit your swords, you felt the force reverberate throughout your body.
Satoru grabbed your neck from behind, and for the very first time since you were awarded the Special Grade Jujutsushi status, you were forced down onto the ground.
You used your cursed technique to soften the blow as much as possible, but Satoru was relentless as he slammed you head-first down onto the grass.
Everyone winced as you hit the ground hard. "He's not human." Mai said. Everyone agreed, not used to seeing you at the mercy of another party like this. They were reminded of who exactly was the strongest sorcerer alive.
In order to win against Satoru, your goal was to touch him and move past his limitless barrier. Even if it’s just for a moment. You couldn’t use Niflheim or Inferno from afar. He would remain unaffected as he guards and stops the change in movement of molecules around him.
But now his hand was around your neck. Your twin blades suddenly rush to close in around his neck in an x position to gather his attention, while you use your technique to warp the space around his hand to weaken limitless and hold onto him.
You lashed out with your metallic whip, letting your cursed technique run through it. It worked and scratched his cheek a bit.
"Enhanced gravity: Output 30%", the ground cracked underneath the both of you as a massive weight pressed down. And then you shocked both Satoru and yourself with the lightning coursing through you. Screaming at the pain in the process.
He gritted his teeth as volts shocked his bones.
Utahime and the others stared at both of you. "What a huge amount of cursed energy." Todo said in awe. "Non-standard Jujutsu users are insane."
Satoru still had the strength to hit your lower back which caused you to heave out and stop Goldenrod from activating. Both of your clothes were literally toasted. “Haha. You’re a scary one y/n.”
That’s all you remembered before you passed out; you were out of cursed energy.
◇◇◇
Noritoshi rushed over to take you in his arms. Pulling your unconscious body close to his, he gave you a once-over. You had just fainted from exhaustion, there were no serious injuries. Good.
"Noritoshi," Satoru called.
"Yes, Gojo San?"
"Take care of her for me please."
He straightened up, "Of course. There’s no need to ask that from me." He then carried you to the infirmary, holding you gently in his arms.
Blood Bound: Table of Contents
Author's Notes: Me writing this entire scene: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! (x100)
Y/n was able to fight on par with Satoru, because he chose to limit his cursed energy output and match his skills to her level. A psychokinesis cursed technique would be a natural enemy for limitless since you can condense and expand space between molecules. But you still lack experience in battle. And if we were going to talk about Domains, Satoru would dominate the battle.

Extra notes: Long. I suggest rereading the last chapter if you need a refresher. This is like more than twice the length of my first chapter lol.
Chapter 19: Stay With Me
You remain silent.
"No answer, hmm??" The Kitsune grinned. But deep inside she was pissed. Another technique of hers lies in knowing who you'd prefer to save and manipulating you into hesitating so that you’d lower your guard down.
You are the largest threat to them here in Kyoto after all. But you didn't trust so easily. Especially the words of a Special Grade curse who obviously has something planned.
You carefully took in a deep breath. And in less than a split second, you turned and ran towards Noritoshi, with one hand pointing behind you towards your cousin.
Your barrier activated around Hiroki while you moved to position yourself in front of Noritoshi. You whipped out your blades, ready to parry her thorns.
As soon as your feet moved from position, the magic circles flared and activated their sequence. 
Both boys realized what happened after a few seconds, the Kitsune's attack and your movements were too fast for them to follow.
She had launched her thorns in your direction. You tried to block as much of them as you could, but some got through your openings.
There were too many, and it was much faster than you expected. It was hard, not fighting with a guard around you.
You numbly stared down at your open wounds, feeling the pain in a distant manner. She had cleanly pierced through your ribs. While her other large set of thorns had bounced off your barrier, protecting your cousin.
The magic circles beneath both boys disappeared, as did your warp around Hiroki.
“Y/N!!” Noritoshi stared in horror. Your back was still to him, but he could see the protruding blood-stained thorns. Time slowed down as blood gushed from your lips. 
He catches you as you fall towards the ground. An insane heat spreads throughout your body. Something was very wrong. 
She laughed maniacally at the scene unfolding before her. "Jujutsu Sorcerers are so weak. So easy! You all crumple at the sight of your most beloved ones in danger." 
It's scary isn't it? Putting your life on the line for your comrades. Will you die today? 
The Kitsune launches an attack at the both of you, but Hiroki quickly steps and defends against her. She is forced further back as Mechamaru shoots out a laser beam from a distance.
You were trying to use your reverse cursed technique, with no avail. Your hands and legs can't move. It's a temporary paralysis. So you couldn't pull out the thorns and then heal your wounds.
"Love! Talk to me! What's wrong?"
You couldn't even answer him or move your mouth. Blood continued seeping out of your wounds.
You slumped as Noritoshi gathered you in his arms. How unlucky. There were barely any curses anymore and yet this had to happen. But you had no regrets. 
You looked up at Noritoshi with so much love in your eyes. But his own were filled with agony, screaming at you to hold on while blood was pouring down the side of your mouth.
Tears streamed down your face. You were happy, because you had the power to save the ones you love this time. 
But you really wanted to grow old with Noritoshi. See the wrinkles line his face. Experience everything with him. You'd take him back in a heartbeat and tell him that he owned you and your heart since the day you met. That you loved him even when you thought he put on a farce to be with you.
Even if he were to love or be with another woman. Even if it pained you to think of him as a distant person in your life, being by his side was the happiest you've felt in your entire life. 
He pressed his lips against yours, trying to give you more air. His hands trembling against the thorns embedded inside of you. Your blood was spilling everywhere, and he didn't want to look down to see his hands covered in red.
'There's so much blood,' he thought to himself, panicking. It was staining both of your clothes, dripping onto the pavement.
"Your reverse cursed technique! Use it!" He yelled hoarsely. In smooth movements, he ripped out the thorns one by one and applied pressure onto your wounds.
His heart plummeted as nothing happened. But he didn't lose faith. If you were paralysed, it was up to him to save your life.
Noritoshi did some quick thinking, remembering the content in the Gojo family records of Soulmates. He bit his thumb and forced his blood into your mouth. 
"Drink my love, please drink it." Turns out you didn't have to do much. The blood hit your tongue, and he activated his technique on your blood. 
Usually this would be impossible. Blood Manipulation only works on the user's own blood, but the power of soulmates isn't one to be taken lightly.
He read through your vitals, RBC (red blood cell), platelet, and WBC (white blood cell) count, and saw the rising blood pressure and temperature. He did his best to stabilize your vitals.
It worked. Your head cleared, and even while paralysed, you quickly managed to seal your wounds. You continued activating your reverse cursed technique, not stopping for a moment.
If it was any minute longer, you would have died. But Noritoshi worked way too fast out of desperation to keep you alive. 
"Stay with me, angel. Good, your wounds are finally sealing." He leaned down and continued applying pressure onto the open punctures.
He continued to scan and manage your blood pressure, and found something. It was a foreign substance in your blood. Something like a black tar, attacking your insides and messing with your nervous system. Alongside with it was a poison slowly seeping through your blood.
"What on earth is that? Is that the technique of the Kitsune?" He furrowed his eyebrows. 
But with complete hold over your blood, he was able to manipulate it into leaving your body by going outside one of your wounds.
It was so painful, more tears fell down the sides of your face, while you were still in paralysis. 
"This will end soon, I promise. Hold on."
Noritoshi blocks out everything else. Completely ignoring Todo and Mechamaru who are facing the fox behind him.
As soon as the black substance was out, you finally could move, trembling and heaving out more blood. 
"No, calm down. Calm down! Y/N!" He pressed you back down onto his lap as you tried to sit upright. “Love, please!”
Hiroki was fighting the Kitsune with tears running down his face, screaming bloody murder as he striked and aimed at it. 
It seems as though the magic circles require a ton of cursed energy. The Kitsune doesn't seem to be activating them anymore. She was now on the defensive, not having expected reinforcements. Still, it was clear she overpowers them all.
A red symbol appeared on your right eye, a cross identical to Noritoshi’s red flowing scale mark. You bent over to the side and started puking out a blue substance mixed with your blood. Moving to kneel down on all fours, while Noritoshi held you. 
“Get it all out, love, faster.” He was frantic like he’d never been before. Pressing a palm against your neck and forcing you to remove this new poison right away. 
An alarming amount of blood came out of you and pooled on the concrete. Even though he knew you needed to force it out of your system, you were still losing blood fast, and it wasn’t good. Your skin slowly turns into a sickly pale shade.
Thank goodness for Noritoshi, who could help push out the poison with brute force. If you were stuck with anyone else, you'd be dead right now.
As soon as the poison is completely out, he pulls you up and away from the bubbling blue liquid on the ground. “Close your wounds. That’s enough. Anymore and you’ll lose too much blood.”
The mark on your eye disappears.
Noritoshi cradles you in his arms. Both of you were drenched in blood, the blood of the enemy and your own, but he didn't care as he held you close. 
“Steady darling. Stay steady. You’re okay. You’re with me.” Tears continuously fell from his eyes. You tried to reach up, wanting to comfort him, but your arms could barely move. 'Don't cry Toshi. Please don't' You thought.
"I love you, please don't leave me alone. I can't live without you." He choked. With one hand on your wounds, Noritoshi did his best to ensure you didn’t lose any more blood. He tried to make it stay within your system, circulating properly.
You looked up at him with blood and tears running down your face. 'I love you too, Noritoshi, it's always been you. It has to be you,' you thought out loud. 
You took deep breaths, grunting at the pain. The pounding headache you’ve had for a while slowly started to clear. You were now able to completely seal your wounds, trying to do it carefully to prevent scarring. 
Noritoshi placed a hand over yours as you healed yourself. You turned to look at the Kitsune that was preoccupied with other sorcerers. They were going to die at this rate.
You feel light-headed and your eyes keep fluttering. It was hard to stay conscious at this point. Noritoshi slowly lifted your hand to kiss your knuckles ever so softly. “Stay with me, my heart.”
You will. If it was the last thing you’d do, you’d do anything to stay with him.
The reverse cursed technique activated and the wounds sealed tight and clean.
“I think I’m good now..." You tried to sit upright, breathing heavily. He worriedly looked over at you.
"You saved me, so I now owe you my life. Not that it's never been yours in the first place. Thank you for that Toshi," You heaved yourself up to stand, spitting out another mouthful of blood onto the ground.
“You saved MY life, darling. And what do you think you’re doing? You’re still hurt. Let’s bring you to the clinic. Come.” He beckoned you there.
"I didn't lose THAT much blood. It just looks really bad. Maybe a pint or two at most. I'll manage."
"No, you stay back. You need rest." He tried to push you to the direction of the clinic but you held fast.
Noritoshi stared into your eyes. They reflected the light of the fires behind him, making them look like glowing orbs of flame. You were his Phoenix, he realized. And he was utterly entranced by your charisma.
"I can still fight."
You knew your limits well, having trained all your life for a situation like this. Even now, your reverse cursed technique was activated in the background, simultaneously with your combat techniques.
Now that all the poison was out of your system, you only had to worry about the physical injuries.
"I don't want to lose you," Noritoshi whispered, broken.
"You won't. Because I'm much stronger than this, I promise you." You grabbed his wrist, "So stay with me. You said that just now right? I’ll stay with you, I promise."
“I can’t ever keep you down, can’t I?” He bitterly smiles to himself as he presses his forehead against yours. Eyes filled with pain, because he knew you were right. Jujutsu sorcerers always fight to surpass their limits.
“No, you can’t. But you already knew that since before, didn’t you? After all, you’re the same as I am.”
Noritoshi couldn't do anything else, but to kiss you. You returned it with just as much passion. It tasted of dirt and blood, but to both of you, it was like a breath of fresh air.
Both of your red strings slowly crept out into the open, invisible to everyone else except the two of you. The broken ropes reattached and you felt your mark burn for the first time in weeks.
But there was no time to celebrate.
"I've got this bitch to kill. Just watch the other curses in the area. I've got her." 
He let out the biggest sigh you’ve ever heard. “Okay. I’ll be right here. Cleaning up the rest. Right behind you.”
Your eyes zeroed in on the Kitsune who turned to you, shocked that you had survived her poison.
She quickly pushed out another palm with the same insignia flashing in blood red. But you were faster, moving past Noritoshi's arms and in an instant, shoving both of your blades into her gut.
“Get back!” You yelled to everyone else. There was a reason as to why you were most effective when you did your missions alone. 
She tried to pull away. Flames suddenly engulfed the both of you. But it didn't matter, because you've got a hold on her.
You didn't hesitate to choke her and wrap your legs around her waist.
"Fucking bitch," You spat out.
Her eyes flashed a brighter gold and the flames surrounding the both of you went even hotter. Burning the lamp posts and pavement in the vicinity. The ground warped and started flowing a bright red.
Noritoshi was forced back from the insane heat. The other curses and poor unprepared Jujutsu sorcerers closer to the both of you burst into flame and disintegrated. 
You couldn't see anything at all. Just the Kitsune, and a wall of fire. You thought about the damages distantly, and automatically used your technique to fly high up in the sky with her still in your chokehold.
"We curses deserve to rule this land. Just as we did thousands of years ago during the Heian period. What makes you think you're any better than us? You pathetic Jujutsu sorcerers are slowly dying out while ignorant weak humans stay protected by their ignorance. What are you doing this for?" She hissed.
"I don't care about any of you curses," your throat closed up, anger rising at the thought of innocent sorcerers dying in the middle of combat.
"You could join us and be stronger!" She pleaded.
Fury was evident on your face. You gripped her throat tighter, your fingers wrapped in your spacial barrier to prevent you from her fire. 
"Or you can shut up and die right here." You snarled.
The Kitsune saw that you were going for it. She raised her hand and the flames turned blue. If you weren’t fast enough you’d melt. This flame was far more than what you were used to handling.
What is stronger? Flame or ice?
You set Niflheim to the lowest setting you could.
"Absolute Zero."
Immediately the flames extinguished and turned to cold smoke. Ashes and steam billowed in the air, making it hard for anybody to see anything.
The Kitsune under you screamed as she slowly froze over. But she was still moving. Not enough?
You released your technique and the both of you did a free fall from the sky. 
You took a leaf out of Satoru’s book and slammed her down hard on the pavement, simultaneously releasing Goldenrod with a proper activation at over 3000 volts. You've been perfecting this attack with Hiroki for weeks. 
A loud crack of thunder with a flash of lightning shot out of your hands, incinerating her on the spot. Not a trace left as the curse disappeared into black smoke. The remnants of her final screams echoed in your ears.
You placed your palm against the still hot pavement and activated Niflheim to cool things down within the area. Steam fizzed out as the flames were put out.
You crouched down low on the ground to catch your breath, those last two attacks took a lot out of you and you were running low on cursed energy.
You have a lot. But it wasn't unlimited, unlike how Satoru could regulate his to an insane extent. Even now, you can feel some pain in your chest and try to heal yourself further. 
You felt omnipotent. There's no other way to describe it. You say you hate fighting, but the rush of defeating a powerful opponent is like no other. 
This side of you that enjoys beating down curses is rising, you couldn't stop smiling. But you felt a soft hand bring you slowly back down to earth. 
"Darling?" 
You looked up at him, still grinning. Ignoring the blood running down one side of your face.
"Darling."
Ah. That steady presence. The beautiful person whom you live for.
"My love, let's clear up the remaining curses. Celebrate later."
"Mmmm." You smiled at him, feeling yourself come back down.
You squeezed his hand. Noritoshi could feel your elation. It was almost electric. That ego rising up too high. Pride.
He didn't mind seeing you like this, but you tended to get overconfident in battle sometimes. Not that you didn't have any good reason not to be. This side of you was very much Gojo Satoru like, he thought to himself. 
You helped clean up the remaining curses. Not much stronger ones were left. Noritoshi watched every movement of yours, staying right beside you to support you. 
You staggered after seeing that your areas were clear. Noritoshi quickly wraps his arms around you, “You’re coming with me to the clinic. And I am not accepting any answer other than Yes.”
“Yes sir.” You leaned into him as he lifted you in his arms. Some of your wounds had reopened, due to your reverse cursed technique weakening. The adrenaline coursing through your body was too much that you failed to feel the pain. Which means you failed to realize that some wounds were still bleeding.
He entered the clinic and quickly put you down on one of the empty beds. One of your uncles came to check on you. Running over with an IV stand in hand. They hooked you to one of their regular Balanced Saline solutions to help with your blood loss. 
Hiroki came in, battered with a bruise on one temple, but still very much alive. He was now off combat duty and on healing duty. Quickly coming over to press a hand against your chest to activate his reverse cursed technique.
Noritoshi sighed in relief, seeing your bleeding come to a halt. He winced upon feeling a sharp pain in his right arm, turning to look at the nurse that was dressing his wounds. He didn’t even notice them, being too focused on you.
He had fewer injuries than you did.
“Hemorrhagic shock sis. You scared the life outta me back there.” Hiroki groaned as he let his head fall forward. 
“I would never have forgiven you if you died on me too.”
“You’re such a loser bro. I won’t die.”
“Keep talking shit like that and you might,” he pinched your side making you hiss at him.
“No fighting with the sick!” Your uncle smacked him upside his head.
“We need Hiroki! Life support emergency please!” A nurse from the other side of the ward yells. Your cousin worriedly looks down at you, “I’ve done what I can. Can you manage?”
“Yep. Go. You know how I’m fine now.”
He nods and leaves you with Noritoshi, who was still staring at you. Now with his wounds fully dressed and cleaned.
He kneels down in front of you, looking up with such a soft expression. He stayed like that for a while, feeling your vitals stabilise further. His technique was still linked to your blood somehow, which gave him a deeper sense of relief, knowing he can help you if anything else were to happen.
You felt absolutely horrible. The man had shown you time and time again that he loves you and you doubted that. 
"I'm sorr-"
"Are you-"
You both spoke at the same time, eyes widening. 
He motioned you to go first, but you shook your head and let him go first. 
"Are you feeling okay?" He whispered.
You smiled. "I am. Just need to sleep it off. It's not the worst I've had."
He ran his fingers through his hair, seemingly distracted, before reaching over to link your right hand with his left one. "Good, good."
“Are you okay Toshi?”
“I’m fine. Hardly a dent in me today. Thanks to you.”
You gave a shy smile, quietly relieved. 
“Toshi… thank you…” you whispered. 
Noritoshi shakes his head, “You save me and I save you. That’s how we work. As soulmates.” He holds up your hands, marks burning brightly.
He could feel your emotions once again. It used to be this numb feeling, where you once were. But now, he can sense all the negativity in the back of your head.
Regret. A lot of sadness. Guilt. But also, a deep love for him. You never stopped loving him.
"Toshi," You started again with a bit more confidence. He looked back into your eyes, smiling and nodding.
You have to apologize. Go do it. The words were on the tip of your tongue, but somehow you were still tongue-tied.
"Noritoshi, I really owe you a proper apolo-"
"Hey," You both looked to the right to see your mom approaching you. 
"Mom!" 
Noritoshi jerked into a standing position, body stiff as he bowed a full 90 degree angle towards your mother. 
"Ah, it's nice to meet you. I'm Kamo Noritoshi and I'm y/n's- " He froze, not knowing what to say.
You weren't dating anymore. As of now.
"Soul-"
"Boyfriend and soulmate, mom. He's my boyfriend." You smiled up at both of them. 
His heart warms itself at your words. A humongous invisible weight lifts from his chest and shoulders.
She smiled and reached up to pull him into a hug. "You've made my baby girl so happy. Thank you. Call me 'Okaa-san' too."
He felt his throat tighten, "Not at all. She's been such a blessing to me. Uh- Okaa-sama." 
“I need to bring my baby girl home now. Do you want to come back to the Tsuchimikado estate with us? We can oversee your recovery as well.” She offers.
Noritoshi’s eyes widened. “Ah, I’d love to. I just have to check on with my father-”
“I’ve already talked to him. A pleasant man he is, the head of the Kamo clan. More than I thought.” She had a bit of a wary expression when she said those words. Clearly still unfamiliar with Noritoshi’s family.
“If he said so, then yes please. I’d like to stay with her.”
After that, it was a blur of activity. Your mom makes sure you’re both stable enough before bundling the both of you in a car back to the estate. Noritoshi quickly shoots a text to his father to confirm things, and was actually surprised to see a jovial reply. 
No doubt trying to help him patch things up with you. He closes his eyes. For now, he’ll take this as a solid win. It was working in his favor anyway for his father to so strongly support your relationship.
You squirmed uncomfortably against him, patting him to get his attention. 
“Do you need anything, love?” Noritoshi nearly tosses his phone away in his haste to turn back to you. But you shook your head.
"I love you so much, Toshi. And I’m sorry for hurting you." You whispered. You were unsatisfied; it was far from a proper confession. But for now, exhaustion overcomes you. His eyes widen, but you fall asleep against him just as you see him open his mouth to reply.
He looks over the top of your head and checks your condition. You had fallen asleep. It was a miracle that you even stayed conscious for this long. Noritoshi was prepared to catch you in the middle of battle, but you held on the whole time.
Still, he was happy to hear those few words, not bothering to hide the biggest smile on his face as he tucks you into his side.
Authors notes: Guess whose form the Kitsune took on when Noritoshi looked at her as he was put under hypnosis.

We are finally past the introductions and getting into the bulk of the story🥰💕 excited for this to unravel.
Chapter 6: Speed of Sound
You had a physical and cursed energy examination along with the second years the next day. Much like when you had your height and weight measured at the clinic. But this time, it was your power, speed, stamina, defense level, and flexibility with and without your cursed technique that they were measuring.
“Ugh, it’s so windy out today.” Mai complained. The sun was really bright as the four of you first years stood there.
“Y/n.” All of you turned to look at the source of the voice. You smiled brightly upon hearing him. “It has been a while.”
“Noritoshi senpaii~” you skipped your way towards him with a huge smile on your face. “How have you been?”
Noritoshi was always busy, with clan affairs, missions (now that he got recommended for grade 1 and is enroute to a semi-grade 1) and studies that you only had a short time to say hi whenever you passed by the other in the hallways. But he always secretly looked forward to seeing you.
He nodded his greeting to the other first years before turning to smile down at you as you came up to him. “Not too bad. Hope you’ve adjusted well to campus life?” he murmured, eyes softening.
“I’m okay, don't worry about me. Shared class today, this is my first time. I wonder how it will go?” You excitedly said.
“The usual, you might find it boring. Ah, and I’ve heard that you were given the title Special Grade. Congratulations.” He said.
“Is that something to be celebrated?” you asked while tilting your head to the side. “Thank you though.”
He mimicked you, tilting his head in the same direction and leaning forward so that your eyes were both still in line with each other’s, “It’s proof that you’re strong and that’s also a good thing.”
You hummed in thought. “I don’t really care about rankings to be honest. I just need to be strong enough to protect the ones I love.”
Noritoshi’s eyes slightly widened at that. He was about to speak when he was rudely interrupted.
“TSUCHI CHAN! You owe me a fight.” Todo senpai boomed with Momo sighing tiredly beside him. You jumped about 4 feet into the air at the sound and Noritoshi protectively held a hand in front of you again. “That’s enough Todo. It’s still early in the morning.”
“A fight, or else I will reveal who your ideal type is to everyone here.” He grinned.
Oh no he didn’t. The winds picked up around you as your cursed energy flared dangerously. Everyone except Noritoshi took a step back from you.
You looked up at him with the coldest eyes you have, “You promised you wouldn’t senpai. But I am not backing down from a fight. Don’t cry too badly when I bury you 6 feet underground.”
“There it is! Her dark side.” Miwa cried out. “You’re gonna die senpai.” But Todou just laughed. “I knew you were interesting the moment we met Tsuchi chan. It’s settled. A fight later after class.”
“Todo’s gonna die later. I look forward to seeing it.” Mai yawned nonchalantly as Mechamaru just nodded. Momo just laughed as she settled in beside Mai.
Soon Utahime called you all to attention and you went on with the activities. You were competing with Todo for almost every measurement (with the use of cursed energy of course. You were not so strong without it).
You just laughed at yourself as you found out you had the weakest physical punching power among the first years. Yep, you rely too much on your cursed energy to back you up.
You had the highest score though when you used your cursed energy. You warped the space around your hand in a spiral motion, the wind picking up around your fist, before you propelled yourself to punch the target. BAANG! It was pushed a number of meters back further than Todo’s target.
Todo just clapped. “Well done.” And the entire time, Noritoshi was closely monitoring you, staying by your side and asking questions about your technique.
At that, you tugged on his sleeve and he smiled and bent down for you. You told him quietly that you would tell him more about it later when you’re alone. His eyebrows raised, but his smile widened, “Thank you for that. I don’t mind telling you about mine too.”
The others were just silently watching you both out of the corner of their eyes.
“Mai chan, wanna bet as to when those two will get together?” Momo whispered. Everyone else except the two of you heard her.
“Depends on what you wanna bet on. But I’m willing to bet they’ll get together in the next maybe 4 months or so.” she smirked.
“3 months” Miwa piped up quietly.
“Maybe 2 months lol.” Mechamaru said.
“No. They might take… a few weeks. 3?” Todo said seriously.
Utahime cleared her throat out loud gathering all of your attention. “Last activity. Running laps. This track field is 400 meters long as you all know. Finish 1 lap. First without then with your cursed technique. Nishimiya and Tsuchimikado flying is permitted.”
You perked up at that and clapped your hands excitedly. Then stopped and thought about it remembering your father’s words:
“ ‘You don’t have to max out your abilities. We keep our clan’s abilities as much of a secret as possible to prevent any information leakage that may be used against us. Remember to use your technique wisely. You’re the strongest in our clan, sweetheart.’ You nodded, ‘Okay papa.’ ”
So God speed mode of a Mach 4 is out of the picture. Mach speed 3… maybe out. ‘No I can limit it to just under the speed of sound.’ you thought determinedly.
You zoned out the next hour until it was time to run with your cursed technique. “Are you okay? You look a bit pale.” Noritoshi put a hand on your back to support you.
You quickly shook your head “I’m fine, no worries.” He didn’t look like he believed you but let you go ahead.
“Tsuchimikado. It says here on your report that you can move at mach speeds.” Utahime spoke. FUCK. Oh well. You turned to her with the stiffest smile on your face as she realized you didn’t want the information disclosed.
You took your starting position, still determined to keep it under half the speed of sound. “Ready… go!” You whipped around the entire trackfield in just under 3 seconds.
“Tsuchimikado. 2.4 seconds.” You nodded and jogged back beside Miwa who gave you a high five. “That was sooo cool, you need to let me fly with you next time.” She excitedly said.
You laughed. “I’m not the best at holding people with me when I move at high speeds. But slow flying is fine.”
“Why don’t you go faster?” Todo asked. Everyone quieted down as you turned to him. “I have a feeling you've been limiting your output. You’ve obviously been holding back this entire time, are you not taking it seriously? We are here to challenge ourselves, there is no need to hold back.”
Your eye and finger twitched. “That’s not it.” This man was amazing at pushing your buttons. But you sighed as there was no reason to hide it anymore. “Utahime sensei can I-”
“Go ahead. When you’re ready.”
You took your starting position again. You could push Mach 5 if you wanted to, though just above Mach 1 should be enough.
But you can feel Todo just silently egging you on from the sidelines. And it honestly worked. “Start!”
There was a loud BANG! You were back in the starting line in less than a second. The only proof of your movement was the smoke and dust rising above the tracks.
“I am so sorry, but I didn’t catch that. I physically can’t. That was less than a second. Your speed please?” Utahime called out. “Mach 2.”
You stepped right up to Todo with a challenging glint. “Prepare yourself for later.” He just huffed out a proud smile, then you stood aside with Miwa and Noritoshi.
“Was that, just now a sonic boom?” asked Noritoshi. “No it was my ringtone.” you deadpanned. The others choked a laugh out at that.
He turned to you with a pout, but you just bumped his hip with yours and laughed “It’s called sarcasm Noritoshi senpai~” He quietly chuckled along, which he was surprised at how easy it was to do so whenever he was with you.
You all finished up. Momo was also pretty fast, going at 10 seconds around the track. Noritoshi senpai blew you out of the water to be honest. His record was 35 seconds on foot. How. That was over the world record for men’s running.
You noticed a red marking forming over his eye and remembered seeing it for a bit when it came to the strength measurement test earlier. He was just a bit behind you, Mechamaru and Todo in terms of power.
And Mechamaru and Todo were largely… disproportionate to him, being way bigger and bulkier. But he could somehow manage.
“Are any of you going to spar after this? If so I will be supervising.” Utahime sensei called.
“We will.” Todo senpai motioned between the two of you. Noritoshi surprisingly spoke up too, “I also wanna have a go against y/n if that’s fine with you.” He turned to you with a concerned look. You just smiled, “Of course it’s fine Noritoshi senpai!”
