"It's too early" Shiori yawned "did the exchange event really have to start at eight?"
"I can't keep my eyes open" Maki yawned
"Salmon.."
The Tokyo students were interrupted by nobara who happily waltzed towards her fellow classmates with a huge suitcase and a pink backpack only to find herself to be the only one packed
"Huh? Why are you all empty handed?!"
"Huh?" Everyone else said
"Kugisaki, the real question is what are you doing with all that luggage?" Shiori pointed out
"What do you mean? We're going to Kyoto, right?" Nobara reminded you
"for the exchange event with our sister school in Kyoto?"
"It's and exchange event with our sister school in Kyoto. Held in Tokyo." Panda answered
"No way!"
"So that's why you haven't been making sense these past few weeks" Maki hummed
"Salmon"
"It's held at the school the won the previous year." Panda stated as Nobara rushed towards him and grabbed him by the neck
"Then don't go winning you idiots!"
"We weren't in last year! Only Yuta participated to make the numbers match up!"
"That was prior to freeing Rika" Maki hummed
"Apparently it was an overwhelming win"
"I didn't see it though, since it was held in Kyoto" Maki shrugged
"I won't forgive you Okkotsu Yuta! Even though I've never met you!" Nobara bellowed
"This is misdirected anger" Panda sighed, Shiori letting out a laugh
"Salmon"
"Wow shioris actually laughing" Maki teased, megumi giving the gojo a suspicious look the she responded to with a playful shrug
"Oi, there here" Maki stated
"Oh look, it's everyone from Tokyo together" Mai said
"Did you go out of your way to come greet us? Disgusting" Mai spat
"Did we really have to wake up at five? I'm not even competing" Sayuri groaned
"You really hate waking up sayuri" Miwa giggled, her underclassman agreeing "too much work" She sighed
"Okkotsus not here" Todo murmured
"Shut up, hurry up and hand over the cake box, and the yatsuhashi, kudzu noodles and buckwheat cookies" Nobara sneered
"Salmon"
"You guys are hungry?" Panda sighed
"Who is that first year? Shes scary" Momo said holding onto her broom
"Never mind okkotsu being absent. Isn't having three first years a major handicap?" Mechumaru said
"It's a robot!" Nobara screeched
"Age is irrelevant to jujutsu sorcerers, especially with fushiguro hes from the zenin bloodline, but he's more talented than the head of the clan" Kamo said as Mai gave him a ticked off look
"Something to say?"
"Nope" Mai said
"Now now, please calm down you two" A girl with blue hair stated, a pretty woman with a scar and black hair making her way up the stairs
"Okay now, let's not fight amongst ourselves"
"So, where is that idiot?" The school leader questioned
"Late as always" Shiori stated
"As if he'd ever show up on time" maki mumbled
"No one even said idiot referred to Gojo" Megumi sighed as Gojo came running in with a metal container In front of him. "Sorry for the wait!"
"Where were you anyways?" Maki asked
"I was on a business trip overseas so I'll hand out souvenirs right now!"
"This is sudden" panda said
"You sure it's not jet lag?" Nobara mumbled, Gojo pausing for a second and looking at his sisters
"Did you two switch?" He asked, Shiori wearing a huge smile whilst syuris was more subtle
"Wow it took you nearly sixteen years to be able to tell us apart" She clapped, 'Shiori' or rather Sayuri letting her hair fall down
"I want to get some extra sleep and Shiori is an early bird" She grinned
"Huuh??" The Tokyo and Kyoto students spoke
"That's explains why Shiori was smiling so much" Maki laughed
"You guys still do those tricks?" Mai asked as the twins went to their actual schools
"Only for our own benefit" Shiori stated, "I was so tired after my mission yesterday so I just wasn't two extra hours of sleep" Sayuri exhaled, running away from Utahime who was scolding her
"You could've arrived later, you're only spectating" Noritoshi reminded the first year
"The most interesting part happens at the beginning," Sayuri stated
"Like when rika broke your arm in the first hour" Shiori reminded the Kamo making satoru laugh
"Okay, everyone from Kyoto gets this protective charm from a particular tribe." Gojo smiled
"This is such a nice shade of pink" Sayuri gasped, waving it infront of Shiori and megumi who were standing behind her
"None for you Utahime!"
"I don't need one!"
Once he was done handing out souvenirs to the Kyoto students he made his way over to his own students with a metal box "as for Tokyo here it is!"
"Overly excited adults creep me out" Nobara sighed as the lid of the container popped off with Yuji appearing out of it making a weird pose
"HEY OPP!!"
"It's your departed friend Itadori Yuji!"
"Satoru what the fuck" Shiori blurted out, her brother only giving her his usual smirk whikst Sayuri admired her doll with Mai and Noritoshi
"Gojo they don't seem happy to see me" the boy sighed
"Your heart was ripped out of your chest" Shiori spoke as she was the first one to take a step towards her 'deceased' classmate
"I saw your body in the morgue, so how are you here?" She blinked, cupping yujis cheeks
"Well—" Yuji began before she started to pull his cheeks
"I'm glad you're alive itadori" She said, her eyes getting foggy, Nobara suddenly kicking him in the face
"Hey! Got anything you want to say?"
"I'm sorry for keeping quiet about being alive?"
"Satoru!! What on earth is the meaning of this??" Principle Gakuganji yelled, satoru mearly shrugging until his younger sister came over
"Old man you shouldn't scream like that, you're only a pea away from choking to death" Shiori stated
"Plus it makes you look even uglier than you already are!" Sayuri pouted "maybe we should feed you some peas, Utahime would be a way better principal" She grinned
"I hate Gojos" Gakuganji murmured, walking away from the three siblings, it wasn't as if satoru couldn't defend himself
He was literally satoru gojo
But his sisters always hated seeing the higher ups trouble him
"Shouldn't you two be more respectful?" Yaga sighed "who am I kidding, you had satoru to raise you"
"You say that like I'm a bad brother!"
"Not a bad brother but a terrible teacher" Sayuri giggled
"The worst." Shiori confirmed
﹉﹉﹉
"Excuse me.." Yuji said in a shaky voice as he held up a picture frame
"depending on how you look at this, this could be considered an extreme form of bullying" Yuji squeaked as everyone ignored him,
"Shut up and stay like that" Nobara huffed
"Now now, you heard his explanation let's cut him some slack, the real culprit is Gojo" Panda stated
"The panda talked?" Yuji gasped
After discussing their plans, the students still had a few hours until the even began
"Satorus always coming up with new ways to shock us" Shiori spoke as she brushed some of her hair
"When you hair is down you look even more like your sister Gojo" Nobara brought up
"Megumi seemed to know it was you though" Maki said with a daring grin, Megumis head perked up
"Huh?"
"He kept his distance from Sayuri after breakfast" Maki stated
"That's true, I thought the two of you had some type of disagreement over a book" Panda nodded, megumi avoiding Shiori gaze
"Really?" She spoke
"I'm going to see Satoru and Sayuri in their office" Shiori nodded, her gaze meeting Megumis before she got up and made her way out
"Tuna tuna"
"So you really did piss her off" Panda gasped
"Fushiguro what did you do?" Nobara sighed, caving in and talking to her own non-biological twin yuji once more
"What didn't he do" Maki smiled, Megumi letting out a sigh
"It's nothing, we didn't agree on the themes of a certain book" He shrugged, getting up and making his way to the door
"You expect us to believe that?" yuji frowned
"Yes."
"Shiori" Megumi spoke, grabbing onto the girl's shoulder
"Do you still resent Sayuri?" she blurted out, Megumi having not expected her to be so forward with it
"No, I don't anymore. I haven't for a while and she knows that too"
"But lately you seem to be more irritated by her presence and I can't help but think it's about Tsumi—"
"It's not, we worked that out, it wasn't her fault at all." Megumi stated
"So then what is it? Sayuri still worrys about you guys's friendship," Shiori stated
"Shiori, Sayuri and I are not on bad terms at all, it's just that..she knows something and is teasing me over it" He muttered, a slight blush appearing on his face,
Sayuri had been the first to notice his affection for her twin sister and although they might never be the same as they were before, he still respected her and never blamed her for what happened
When he looked at Shiori however, her face was pale
"Do you like Sayuri??" She asked in a hushed tone
"Huh?? What no!" Megumi spluttered
"So, what's the something?" She asked, breathing out a sigh that almost seemed to be of relief
All this time Megumi thought she was fully aware of his feelings towards her but..
"Wait are you messing with me or do you really not know?"
"Megumi Im sharp, but I'm not the best with social cues or what I presume to be romantic cues" Shiori muttered
"So, is it romantic?" she asked, Megumi bawling up his fists
"Yes."
Shiori felt her heart sink but simultaneously a glint of hope
"Well...I'm your friend Megumi, so you can tell me who it is, I wouldn't judge"
"I really can't, it could jeopardise our relationship if you realised who it was" Megumi stated, shioris eyes widening as she remembered something Sayuri had said
"Megumi isn't going to talk to you because he doesn't want to ruin your friendship, he'd rather have you as a friend and cast away his feelings than lose you completely"
"Megumi" Shiori spoke after a few moments of silence
"Do you like, me?" she said, almost flinching once she repeated the sentence out of worry
She did not expect to hear a sigh
"I'm not the best at hiding it am I?" he said with a sad smile, gently taking Shiori's scarred hand
"I'm not asking for you to return my feelings bu—"
"I do!" shiori said rather quickly, the blush spreading to her cheeks when she realised how wedding like that sounded
"I-i mean I have, for a while and I.." She trailed off, meeting megumis shocked greens eyes
"You mean it?" Megumi blinked, Shiori nodding, feeling as if an unknown force was pushing her towards him
The pairs lips eventually meeting
It felt nice, Megumis were soft and his touch was delicate yet firm, as if shiori would run away from him if given the chance. It felt so right
Until the sound of glass shattering interrupted them
The pair turned around to meet the dumbfounded faces of shioris older siblings, the glass Satoru was holding now laying on the floor shattered
"Oh wow" Sayuri said with the biggest smile ever, trying to contain her excitment
Satoru on the other hand was the most shocked shiori had seen him in years, sure he knew of their little crush on each other but he never thought either would have the balls to do anything about it
"Oh shit!" Shiori said as she pushed megumi into on the the rooms, running inside herself and closing the door
"Fushiguro!!" Satoru yelled as he banged on the door, damn, he wasn't even using his first name at this point
"Woah! Megumi you actually told her how you felt" Sayuri gasped, her smile being evident even when they couldn't see her
"Sayuri this isn't funny!!" Satoru cried "I invite this..boy! Into my home, and his thanks is to swap spit with my little sister??"
"The deception! The betrayal megumi you deceived me!"
"It was bound to happen" Sayuri said, whacking her over dramatic brother over the head, a laugh catching them and even megumi off guard
It was Shioris laugh
Not a small giggle, a genuine, hearty laugh
"Where were you two?" Nobara asked as megumi and shiori made their way back towards the group
"Does it really matter?" Megumi said to the girl, wearing his usual scowl
"Snarky" Nobara sighed
"Well did you atleast manage to sort out whatever argument you were having?" Maki asked
"About, 'books'" Panda grinned, the two looking at each-other, Shiori managing to contain her smile whilst megumi averted his gaze
"Yes" He nodded, walking over to yuji
"What's his deal?" Maki blinked
"He and satoru had an argument" Shiori spoke, allowing herself to smile
"Overwhelm them! Let's thoroughly trounce them!" Nobara cheered raising her hand. "For Makis sake!"
"Don't say stuff like that" maki sighed
"Pollack roe"
"We'll in that case" Yuji said crouching down.
"Let's win!" He smiled as maki kicked him over
"What are you doing taking the lead?" Maki questioned
"Ow" yuji sulked
