Chapter 25 - chapter 25

Hidden Inventory Arc: Part 1

A tall man with long messy black hair with a young girl with black hair both walk into the zenin estate emitting the same presence.

Emi:"papa, why is everyone here so weak , are they non sorcerers."

She spoke in a disdainful tone while she looked at the Hai unit of the Zenin Clan.

Toji:"jujitsu in the modern era has not been so forgiving to Japan, especially for the zenin clan but you don't need to worry about that."

His cold expression glanced apon the zenin clan members doing training drills for emergencies.

"Young miss you should come with me, it's not fit for a young lady to be—

A group of maid carrying clean laundry walked by and stopped in a panicked tone to see a young lady not properly dressed well for her status.

Emi:"papa, how much does the zenin clan value the lives of non sorcerers.. I have heard rumours that they value women even less, so if I would to dull the edge of my sword in red the clan would clean up the mess right."

She casually spoke while staring at the sword she held in her hand that the maid did not know when she pulling out of its sheath from the pure speed alone.. she felt all he words spoken from the young girl slash ever layer of skin on her body in horror at the fact that a child could speak in such away about killing.

Toji: " as you said my killer sorceress , those born without a curse technique.. are less then human and those that so happen to be women as well are beneath that..

Ba dump ..

Both toji and Emi could hear the heart of the maid beat so fast and heart against her ,chest as her body began to shut down from fear as she black out from the stress of losing her life.

In a light gust of wind a old man with mostly grey hairs and only small hints of remaining black hair, held a bottle of alcohol in his hand while taking long drinks while staring into the distance sky before turning to face the group.

Nabito:" come on now toji, it's not right to treat the maids like that.. they merely follow clan traditions it's not their fault, for being miss informed on the background of the Young heiress of the Garcìa Clan."

He spoke in a tone of respect towards the background of toji's first born daughter .

Toji:"drunken old man, I'm here discuss what we agreed on.

He signed then glanced at the distance before speaking on what they agreed apon.

Nabito: " old ghosts never fade , alright then miss Garcìa should meet her cousin the annoying brat.

His eyes flashed as if he had this direct conversation long ago then turned to walk in the direction of his courtyard.

Toji:haha, you mean Naoya yeah you push him to hard .. he is talented and has a good technique in time—

Everyone turned to see a girl with long snow white hair and pale skin with a fan covering her mouth, with few maids wearing the same clan outfit as her as they walked in the direction towards Naoya's courtyard.

Emi walks over to a teenage girl and looks up at her with a smile then starts using sign language.

Reimi:"don't worry honey I can talk, my clans curse technique does not limit my ability to speak."

She spoke in a soft gentle tone that carried the freedom of open skies.

Emi:"it's only right the most gifted heiress of the inumaki clan, is so skilled and powerful to not be restricted by her curse technique."

With barely hidden excitement visible on her face she spoke with respect and amazement.

Reimi:"are you a fan my love, if you have a canvas I can created some cursed art for you."

She moved the hand fan from her mouth as the snake sigils of the Inumaki clan, moved onto the hand fan appearing as a white serpent.

Emi:"sadly no but your going towards my cousin Naoya right , so I can show you where his courtyard is."

Emi's thoughts:

" No way kai will never believe that I met the Inumaki Reimi today hopefully I get to see her art work live but she does magic painting, for non sorcerers but for us she uses cursed speech to bring out the colour in negative curse energy to paint.. been a big fan of her most because of how kind she is dispite her strength and talent, she kind of reminds me of how mom used to before when she was still with dad."

A few weeks after the Kyoto exchange event..

Within the zenin Clan estate Naoya Zenin looked at a picture of a girl in his hand and a memory filled his mind of the day he met her years ago.

Between the exchanges of the major clans and the minor clans he saw a girl in white who's ..moved her markings around into her hand fan but she never spoke much until her gaze met his .

Naoya:"why do I have these thoughts now, is it because she was the one I was truly enamoured by many moons ago."

His face remained still but his eyes began to flash with countless emotions.

Naoya:"last I remember the marking on her mouth are from the hereditary technique of the Unamaki Clan Cursed Speech."

He frowned then grinned at and idea.

Naoya:"dispite her clans techniques limitations she is talented enough to not let that limit her, maybe if i—

A passing servant through the hallway walked by as his eyes flash as he looked up towards her.

Naoya:"you over there , give me all the important information on the girl named Unamaki Reimi and schedule a car , I will be taking a trip to their estate and report as such if I am requested by the clan head."

She bowed then began to write it down on her phone before she quickly harried away.

"Yes young master Zenin.

Year 2006 months after the exchange event..

the mission given to Grade 1 sorcerers Mei Mei and Iori Utahime, to the cursed mansion of a former president, in umamatsu city ,both end up caught in a barrier that overlaps space itself .

Mei Mei:"you take this floor while will check upstairs."

Utahime:"okay we will meet up here right."

Mei Mei smiled at the fear in the tone of utahime then walked with her umbrella in hand.

Utahime walked down the long hallway to turn into a room and with fearful steps, walked over to the bed and slowly looked underneath as the tension built up in her heart from the unknown.

Ahhh..

As she bent down to look under the bed a rat ran out toward her as she quickly got out only to step out towards the door backwards.

Mei Mei:"boo!!"

Ahhhh..

Mei Mei :"why so scared utahime."

Utahime:I'm not scared why are you down here anyways, shouldn't you be on the second floor ."

Mei Mei:"you have noticed yet, a can a bag of chips a paper bag and a pot planet.. I have walked pasted these items 6 times and left marks on this wall."

Utahime:"what marks."

Slash marks appeared to both of them on the wall as they figured it out.

Utahime: "an incomplete domain."

Mei Mei:"I'd say it's been 15k's worth of time."

Utahime:"how much is that."

Mei Mei:"in the past 30mins but now , we should split up to move unpredictable ."

Utahime:"so the tracks are connected like this, it constantly loops back pieces to keep its target within an endless loop so if we find a way to run fast enough to break that loop."

Mei Mei:"9 out of 10, we need to run at the same time in opposite directions.. i do need extra payment for this unaccounted for situation ."

Utahime:"sure we could ask the higher ups ,I'm ready."

Mei Mei:"how much do you have in your account anyways, never mind ."

After a count of 3 they both ran in opposite directions only at the end for a large force of spatial energy, to rip apart the mansion as their eyes where flooding with the outside light.

"Lapse amplification: Blue..

Within the debris utahime looks up to see Tokyo jujitsu high second year student The divine Child Gojo Satoru .

Satoru:"Are you cryin."

Utahime:" ima not crying, you should respect your upper classmen."

Mei mei:"would you console me if I cried Satoru."

Satoru:"nah you wouldn't cry Mei mei."

Utahime:" Satoru, I didn't."

From behind Utahime the giant temporary special grade curse spirit burst out only to almost swallowed by another curse spirit, as a grade 1 sorcerer by the name of Suguru Geto a Tokyo Jujitsu high second year student walks up the stairs.

Geto:"come on Satoru, it's not nice to pick on the weak."

Geto:"don't swallow it yet ,I will absorb and assimilate it later."

Satoru:"who the heck would pick on the strong?"

Mei Mei :"hehehe,you're the one who's picking on her geto,you don't even know it yet."

"Hey utahime it's me."

From the side of of Gojo Satoru is Jujitsu high second year student Shoko Ieiri a Grade 2 sorcerer.

Utahime:"Shoko!!"

Shoko:"we were worried about you since we had no contact with you for the past two days."

Satoru:" oh so it was something like, the innate domain of the curse spirit is time related technique."

Satoru:"we thought it was weird since your here mei Mei but I guess even a sorcerer over your expertise—

Mei Mei:"oh come one now Satoru, don't sell me out so short it was a learning experience for utahime."

Mei Mei:"so where is the barrier curtain, since we were meant to do reconnaissance.

Uhhhh..

Boom..

In a blast of light from and mini rock hitting the ground a figure appears from it as she looks at Suguru Geto.

In a spirit body made of lightning currently Sora Kaoru had the presence of a special grade curse spirit, while everyone else stood in their stances ready to attack only for Satoru to be the first one to notice the curse energy signature.

Satoru:"did Kai put you up to this?"

Mei Mei :" a sorcerer with the body and presence of a curse spirit, your group is truly worth looking in too."

Shoko:"I heard that your technique can only be used once before it turns you into electrical phonemena."

Utahime:"your clan is well studied on the techniques of the jujitsu world."

Sora:"I awakened has a hybrid of sorcerer and curse spirit, and it's still true under normal conditions it would lead to death of the user, but since I am part curse spirit that with a physiology that is the equivalent of a lightning rod."

Geto:"so why the sudden visit, where still in the middle of a mission."

Sora:"Kai asked me to get that curse from you, he needs it for something important."

Satoru:"oh and where is kai , seems like he is using you as a delivery woman."

Sora:"well mister Satoru, that is not the correct manner of etiquette for a future clan head."

Mei Mei :"I like her , she has the spicy outlook on life ."

Mei Mei moved to crouch to reach the eye level of Kaoru Sora ,and smiled with a light expression as if seeing a younger version of herself.

Mei mei :"you have the right temperament I'm looking for, I think you will make the perfect successor Sora."

Sora:"I will have to consult kai with that matter first, but untill then ladies ..gentlemen try not to curse each other."

Shoko:" why do you need a successor anyways."

Mei Mei :" well I need someone to take over the new shadow style school in the future."

She picked up the orb from Geto before lightning covered her body in blue and purple oceans of lightning, as her eyes glowed with the figure and outline of her body was only lightning before she looked towards the sky, with a bright flash of light and curse energy disappeared from sight.

Utahime:"so she is the friend of that kid with the blindfold?"

Shoko:"you mean Kai, yea they have been childhood friends."

Geto:"she has been in an inhuman amount of pain for the last couple years, but that changed after my last visit to her clan with Kai."

Satoru's thoughts:

"I noticed it the second she appeared, her control of curse energy is very consistent especially in the brain,is honestly just as efficient as my own control of curse energy, it's the same thing I have noticed with that kid Kai and his group of friends are all abnormally different, in a way similar to myself I only ever thought I and Suguru would become the strongest duo after my cousin and her boyfriend.. but it looks like that's no longer the case and if I don't work hard then that smart mouth brat will surpass me."

Within an apartment a women with black hair and hazel eyes held a baby with red eyes and pink hair, while part of her shirt was lowered down allowing access for the baby to drink milk.

Kaori:"not only do you have the soul fragments of Sukuna's twin brother but also the sealed finger of sukuna with his curse energy signature as well."

Kaori:"I also sealed parts of all 9 womb death paintings in you as well, and a small important piece of this current vessel."

Kaori:"in all of modern Japan you will be the only one to have a near perfect physical body , then you will defeat the king of curses to protect mommy right my little yuji-kun."

She smiled while feeling he grip of baby Itadori yuji as he held her finger, then she lightly kissed his forehead and placed her shirt back and put yuji into a baby stroller.

Far off in another part of Japan near a park a women with black hair and brown eyes smiled as she lifted her child up and down with joy as the baby giggled.. she had an attractive face and a light hearted smile that would warm anyones heart , but a secret lay on her forehead that no non sorcerer could see and that was a thin line of a scar with tiny threads at the end, an echo of stretches that once crossed and scared the soul of the body of Kaori Itadori still remains.

"They say you have taken on many different names of the countless eras, while making deals with many different types of sorcerers that where hailed the strongest, in their time all with a single goal an answer you have been chasing."

Kaori:"this is new, your Kurai Kai the last member of your clan and now live right above the tombs of the star."

Kai:"yes the place of an old friend of yours dating back since your meeting in the Nara Era."

Kaori:" you are the boldest sorcerer I have ever encountered, to reveal my identity and the knowledge you have related to me , without a trace of fear for how I would react."

Kai:"this is merely to skip the chit chat and move on to the important part."

Kaori:"your smart kid, showing your position so I expect to know.. why you wanted to meet me."

Kai:"for a few reasons but I know one thing, for your plans it would end up with my friend Suguru Geto's body at your disposal, and I know I can not stop fate so what I can do is plan the things I can influence."

 Kaori:"Okay kid you got my attention interested now."

Kai:"alright then kenjaku I want to make a binding vow with you, the conditions are simple all I ask is for all your barrier , ritual , curse energy and soul knowledge and help in creating a curse tool in exchange I will make sure you receive the body of Suguru Geto while making sure he achieves his highest potential before death with the least amount of trouble, and without having to expose yourself while also giving you a special item in the future as well with a single favour not related to any form of harm towards my own mother Ayaka Kurai, and my friends Koshira Yujiro, Kaoru Sora and Emi Garcìa or future family and descendants our my own life."

 Kaori:"Very interesting propel but why should I take on your deal, what can a kid help me with."

Kai:"well with your plan, you don't have to worry about me stopping it but helping it ."

Kai:"for example why stop at a few sorcerers and non sorcerers, why not all the minor and major clans of Japan as well as all of Japan."

Kaori:"this is a first, but I will except your conditions and I hope you know the price of a binding vow."

Kaori's thoughts:

"I'm not stupid to see that he will gain most of the benefits up front but I'm interested to see how a modern sorcerer with my knowledge will develop, and especially one that is in a temporary alliance with me and that special item and help with making a specific curse tool.. which hints at something he does not want the jujitsu society to know about."

Kaori:"well I have to go but I will send over someone to get you, just go along with it for this to work and as a perfect cover for yourself as well."

Kenjaku stood up while checking into the pram to see yuji in deep sleep, moved to shake Kai hand as the binding vow locked their souls with chains.

Kai:"is that , Ryomen Sukuna's vessel."

Kaori:"he will be in the future, maybe you should look after him .. after all you are distant cousins."

Kai watched as she walked away while his heart finally started hammering hard after she left the area at his reckless actions .

Kai's thoughts :

" talking to the most powerful ancient sorcerer in Japan was not the smartest idea, I could feel it ever second her curse energy scanning me or maybe that was some type of barrier technique.. but at least one step of my plan is done now only one more is left and that is tengen, but having a reason to meet her will be almost impossible but I will keep trying to find a way."

Kai:

" she said distance cousins , but my only connection is with the Kamo clan since my clan was a direct branch clan so that mean yuji is already part Death painting somehow."

Hours later kai sat behind his house in the garden within the jujitsu high barrier as he closed his eyes thinking of his future plans .

Kai's thoughts :

" I plan to finally use this amulet and turn it into a prototype of my next creation a fusion between a curse tool and a curse object ,with this already being a curse tool with the curse energy trait of shadows I already have the perfect fit for it ..and that would need me to gain an important part of an ancient sorcerers curse energy core to make it possible, the goal is to gain the Curse technique of Tsurugi Zenin of the Keicho Era because I thought ..long that if I am going to gain a shikigami for my plans then why not the best set and what is better then the Zenin Clans Ten Shadows technique .
