Middle school
Lirian and Megumi are 13 here
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ It was around 8:30 in the morning and Megumi had just finished fighting one of his upper-classmen, as the crowd dispersed he waited for a teacher to come and reprimand him or for his sister to hear what had happened and come and scold him. He sat there haphazardly staring at the sky as his victim slowly began to crawl away from him.
"Nice fight!" Megumi heard a feminine voice yell, turning to see a girl he had never seen around before staring at him with an amused expression
"You're Fushiguro, right? I've heard a lot of students talking about you" the girl beamed as she made her way closer to the boy.
"Tell me, what type of woman do you like?" the girl inquired catching Megumi off guard.
"Huh?" he said tilting his head
"Who even are you?"
"Don't worry about that! Just answer my question" the girl said taking a seat next to the confused boy. "Why don't you answer mine first?" he said with a straight face
"Whatever" the girl yawned "Your answers probably boring anyways"
"Why did you come to talk to me anyways?" Megumi asked assuming she was one of the girls that liked him
"I saw you beat up that guy who's like twice your size, you seem to know how to fight, I like that," the stranger said with a smile yet something about her tone didn't sound romantic.
"Are you not scared of me?" Megumi inquired deciding to entertain this conversation.
"Pffttt why would I be scared of you? I'm sure I could beat you in a fight if you tried that on me"
"You seem very confident in yourself" Megumi responded reviving a hum from the girl
Lirian took out a cigarette and lit it, bringing it to her mouth
"You smoke? At 13??" Megumi said disgust laced in his tone
"Yeah.." she said, it wasn't something she was proud of
"I really hate smokers," the boy spat as he looked her up and down
"And what are you going to do about it? I can guarantee you can't beat me up" she said eyeing the boy
She let out a puff before sighing "But I like you so I won't make you uncomfortable," the girl said putting out the cigarette
Something about her made Megumi think she would genuinely be able to beat him if he did try anything, only furthering his interest in this girl
Before either of them could say another word the bell rang indicating it was time for them to head to their first period
"My name is Lirian Tsukumo by the way" the girl half yelled as she left the courtyard
"Megumi fushiguro" the boy answered back as she gave him a smile before heading off
Second period:
Megumi made his way through the crowded hallways of his school trying to get to his second-period class, chemistry. His mind kept on wandering to the girl he met before class. Who was she? How come he had never seen her before? Was she an upperclassman?
He took his seat at the far right corner of the classroom. He was taking out his pencil case when the teacher cleared his throat, indicating he had something to say.
"We have a new student joining us today, her name is Lirian Tsukumo, make sure you treat her well"
"No wonder I didn't recognise her" Megumi thought as she made her way into the classroom. There were collective whispers as she stood at the front of the class.
"She very pretty"
"She looks foreign"
"She can't be from here"
She wore the normal school uniform but had opted to wear the school jumper instead of a blazer paired with the school pleated black skirt and white leg warmers (like Nanakos uniform in jjk 0)
The teacher gestured for her to introduce herself as the class went silent.
"Hello, my name is Lirian Tsukumo, I'm 13 years old and I'm excited to get to know all of you" the girl's words contradicting her tone, her expression seeming distant and uninterested.
"Oh, and if anyone has a problem with how I look or if you want to comment on it say it to my face and we can sort out our issues" she spat scanning the classroom particularly a group of kids who had made a comment on her skin as she came into the classroom
"She must have good hearing," a girl sitting in front of Megumi said to her partner
"Well tsukumo do you like chemistry?" the teacher asked
"Not at all, I prefer physics and biology" the girl said with a smile
"Hopefully I will be able to change your opinion" the teacher smiled as Lirian gave him a curt nod. "Why don't you take a seat next to Fushiguro?" the teacher said peaking the girls interest upon hearing the familiar name.
As Lirian sat down in her seat she flashed the boy a toothy grin to which Megumi only scoffed trying to hide his smile.
"I think we're gonna be good friends" she grinned
2020
The school year was nearly ending and Lirians statement had come true. The two of them had grown extremely close in about 3/4 of the school year. They did everything together and went everywhere with each other.
It was a Saturday afternoon when Megumi heard a knock on his door, opening it to see lirian standing there holding a helmet.
"I have two things to say," she said building suspense.
"Number one"
"Look at what my big sister got me for my birthday!!" she screamed like a child pulling Megumi out of his house with ease to show him her motorcycle.
"Wait you have a sister?" Megumi said puzzled causing the girl to stop jumping. "Megumi how did you not know I had a sister?" she asked genuinely surprised.
"It's not my fault, you're just really secretive" he sighed
"well she's not actually my sister, she's my guardian. But she says she's too childish for us to call her mother so we don't. She's still the coolest person I've ever met" Lirian said in awe, her childlike rambles causing Megumi to smile
"What do you mean us?" he asked "She raised me alongside a boy, hes two years older than me" she shrugged.
"I seriously know nothing about you" Megumi playfully scoffed causing lirian to let out a small laugh
"The second thing I wanted to say was more of a question, do you want to go get something to eat?"

It was night time and the moon was only half visible, lirian and megumi made their way to a nearby park, having eaten too much, lirian could barely move forcing Megumi to have to carry her with one shoulder sitting her down in the swing next to him
"the moon looks ugly tonight" she blurted out as she felt a headache coming, "why did you let me eat that much Megumi" she yawned nearly falling off her swing before Megumis arms heaved her up
"You're acting like that food was alcohol" Megumi sighed as Lirian looked up at him
"Your eyelashes are really pretty" she smiled before completely falling off the swing landing face flat and not moving a muscle
"Lirian? Lirian?!" Megumi said his voice growing louder as he thought she had fainted for a second
"You know, this actually feels quite nice" Lirian hummed turning her body to look up at Megumi who was giving her an unimpressed glare
"Don't give me that look megumi" she groaned getting up and taking out a cigarette as bringing it to her mouth when she accidentally dropped it
"I thought you said you wouldn't smoke around me" megumi sighed as he bent down to pick up the cigarette, as he was getting up, Lirian held his face bringing it to hers a she gave him and a quick kiss on the lips both of them staying like that for a few moments before Lirian started running
"Catch me if you can" she grinned running away as megumi stood there stunned
"Lirian you can't just do that!" Megumi yelled chasing after her

December 22nd 2020
It was winter break and megumi was spread across his sofa watching tv, Gojo had taken tsumiki to South Korea for a tennis competition that week meaning he had been left alone on his birthday, he didn't mind, they had promised to make it up to him when they came back but what he did mind was that he hadn't heard anything from Lirian
As he flicked through the channels his phone began to ring and he saw lirians contact appear as he answered the call
"Megumi, come over, and wear something nice!" The girl said from the other side of the line before hanging up
"I guess she didn't forget after all" megumi thought smiling to himself as he went to get ready
Lirians house wasn't that far from his, about a fifteen minute walk or five minute bus ride. When he arrived their he saw Lirian through her kitchen window taking out plates before spotting megumi and rushing to the door
"What took you so long??" Lirian yelled from her door as she let him in
"Is your sister home?" He asked looking around "nah she had to do something" Lirian said as she grabbed megumis hand taking him to the dining room where he found the table set and a plate of crispy sea bass with soy ginger and spring onion layed out for him a small happy birthday card at its side
"I hope it tastes good, I had to use a cookbook for it" Lirian huffed as she sat down opposite from megumi who was staring at the food
"Is something wrong?" She asked concerned laced in her tone. "No, I just didn't expect you to do this much" megumi mumbled
"Why not? We're friends aren't we?" Lirian smiled as the began eating
"This is actually really good" megumi said as Lirian smiled
After dinner Lirian brought out a birthday cake as she played king for a day Instead of happy birthday for the boy
"For my favourite little emo ♡" the cake read as an edible picture of Lirian posing for a selfie with megumi who looked annoyed was plastered on the top of the cake
"You know what, I'm not even gonna complain" megumi sighed as he cut the cake Lirian filming the whole thing
"Happy birthday!!" She cheered as she kissed megumis cheek making the boy scoff and playfully pushing the girl off him
Time skip 2 2021
Megumi had grown quite fond of Lirian that school year, even though he would never admit it. He enjoyed their quiet walks around the park or when she would pull up to his house on her motorcycle and force him to get on and grab something to eat. Yet the next year she never came back to school
He looked everywhere for her, tried calling her over and over but nothing. Eventually he found out she and her family had gone to Brazil forcing him back into his own bubble.
Yuki was always overseas usually meaning lirian would hop from school to school, ever since Todo joined Kyoto prefectural jujutsu high he no longer moved with the two of them . Usually, she didn't mind moving but this time she was actually going to miss her school, mostly Megumi
She spent the next year training with Yuki in Brazil to "prepare you for school" in her words. She couldn't say she necessarily enjoyed this training, it was hard, and vigorous even leaving her with a scar on her right arm but it did improve her abilities by a landslide and she loved being around yuki, by the end of the training she had been promoted to a semi-first grade
"If you carry on like this you'll become a first-grade by your second year" Yuki beamed as the two of them ate ice cream. "I'm so proud of you" she wailed as she squished the girls cheeks making Lirian slap her hand away playfully. "I'm not eight anymore" she laughed enjoying the moment
Late 2021
Lirian was just settling in again when bam, yuki moved them to England, it wasn't her first time being there. She'd spent two years there before so it wasn't a huge culture shock for her
She'd decided to skip school and take a train to central London today since she had double science and didn't feel like going.
"I still have a year till exams" she reasoned with herself as she got off the train, lighting her cigarette, people around her giving her weird looks probably due to the fact it was 10:29 am and she was out of school and smoking
"I wonder how tsumiki and megumi are doing," she sighed putting out her cigarette as she walked through Oxford street making her way to tk max, before she could enter, Lirian felt a tap on her shoulder as she turned to see a woman with an Afro and camera
"Excuse me miss, how would you feel about becoming a model?"

2023
"Oh yeah, when we're you supposed to join Tokyo Jujutsu High?" Yuki asked
"I don't know like three months ago?" Lirian shrugged continuing to lick her ice cream her sister had gotten her
"What??? Why didn't you tell me?!" Yuki screamed shaking the girl by her shoulders.
"Lirian! I've made you lazy like meee" she wailed
