Recap: 

(F/N) comes back from the failed second take in frustration. She takes a short break at home to settle down her thoughts before going into the third take. All seems to be going well, in fact even better, but she is still denied by Fushiguro. So she tries different approaches, fourth aggressively, fifth as an ass-kisser, and sixth blatantly. All of which didn't succeed. (F/N) tries to put the pieces together in her room as to why none of the encounters work, shuffling through her collection of video games and manga. This causes her to have a "Bingo!" moment, and she adds a new wish based off of Noragami and Soul Eater in hopes that Fushiguro will accept.

TAKE 7

After we get settled and ready to go, we arrive at the usual scene. Genie is floating above me, circling around my head as I hold a determined look.

'Y'know, you could've just wrote "nobody can see or hear Genie" so that we don't have to get used to this weird mind stuff. Now I can hear all your thoughts and you can probably hear mine.'

I visibly flinch, not expecting to hear Genie in my thoughts already. 'Jumpscare warning, you bum! And no, then I'd have to actually talk back to you, which will make people think I'm some weird psycho. Think smart, dumbass. It may be weird now that we know what we are thinking, but think of it as an advantage.'

I didn't realize that the entire time I was staring and "talking" with Genie, the entire interaction between Kong and Fushiguro passed, and Fushiguro was nowhere to be spotted. When I did, my heart raced with anxiety. 

'Oh no. He's not there. What do I do? Restart?'

'No, let's look for him! For all we know he probably saw you spacing out like a creep and ran away.'

'Thanks for the reassurance, asshole.' 

'You're welcome.'

'I was being sarcastic.'

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I start looking around, just realizing that I never got to know the layout of this place. I felt worry make its way to my expression, as I started looking to my right, then left. 

'Left is where Kong went after the interaction. If he went left, that must be the exit, no? Maybe I have to exit then enter the building again. Better than wandering around aimlessly.' 

Genie sighed aloud as it watched me follow where Kong went before following along. 

'I take back what I said. I don't want to get lost, so let's redo take 7. I don't think this even counts.'

'Honestly, great minds think alike.'

TAKE 7 (AGAIN)

'So, you can travel to scenes without having to leave? That's convenient.'

'I never specified that I had to leave in order to go to a scene in the first place.'

With that, we both stood silent to not repeat the same mistake of getting too engrossed in our conversations. We watched as Kong walked off soon after, which was our cue to approach Fushiguro. 

"Mr. Fushiguro, correct? I'm (L/N) (F/N) and I want to speak to you about your mission."

"Yes, what of it?" Predictably, he turns his head to look at me with a straight face.

"Let me join you. Now, you may be thinking I will mess up the mission, however, I think the opposite. I have zero cursed energy and I can heal others through physical contact without the reverse cursed technique." I didn't give him time to interrupt me with rejection, and watched his face morph into surprise, him covering that up soon after. 

'Why didn't you mention your new power?'

'I'm building up to that. Just a second.'

"Well, that's quite a lot to take in," he raised his eyebrows, implicit interest showing in his eyes. "I cannot take you with me during battle, if that's what you mean." 

I was quick to respond back, fierce with resolve. "There's a way to take me into battle."

"No there isn't. I can't just squeeze you in some curse. You'll suffocate and probably get crushed alive if it shrunk."

"I can become a weapon, any weapon if you need." 

Fushiguro was quick to tilt his head in confusion, before looking back at the race that was over long ago. I sat to his left this time, a single seat away as usual. As I was looking around to make sure there are no cameras or people watching, Genie entered my thoughts again.

'I don't think they're going to have cameras. Aren't we in the early 2000s? Security isn't going to be tight.' 

'You're right. I forgot about that.'

"You're probably wondering if I mean literally," I lowered my volume a bit as my stare became more sharp, "so let me show you." 

Knowing I never tried it before, Genie interrupted. 'Just imagine your body or a body part becoming a weapon. Don't overcomplicate or overthink.'

I decided to turn my right leg, which is closest to him, into a blade. 

"For someone with no cursed energy, you have some strange techniques." Dammit. 

'He's suspicious of you. I don't blame him. You're very demanding for someone who he doesn't even know. Not only that, you look like someone who has ulterior motives.' 

'That's alright. I can always restart. And are you saying I LOOK suspicious?' I watched as he got up, following after reverting my leg and backing away from him slowly.

' For how long, though? You can't do this forever. And yes, I am.' The air around us seemed to shift, and I could feel the bloodlust just oozing from him. 

'Watch me.' 

"You're lucky we're in a public area, sorcerer. You should leave now, and watch your back from now on."

______________________________________________

"He thought I was lying? What a joke. And what do you mean I look suspicious? I am not suspicious!" A vein was popping from my forehead as I lie in my bed, looking up at Genie who was pacing around in the air in circles. I was clutching my phone, the screen paused on the timestamp 1:57. 

"(F/N), I think the problem here isn't him, rather it's you. You're approaching him incorrectly."

"How else do I approach him?! He's literally a traumatized asshole." 

"Lower your voice. Your mother is-"

"(F/N)? Is something wrong?" Shit. 

I listened to my mother's footsteps getting closer to the door, watching as she opened the door.

"No, I'm good." 

"Are you sure? I heard some commotion. You talking to a friend on the phone?"

"Yeah-"

"Well, based on what I hear... Are you having relationship issues?" 

Genie shook as it held in a laugh, and it took everything in me to not fling it across the room and yell into my pillow in embarrassment. 

"N-no it's not like that! Just a friend." I mumbled the last part as I sat up, feeling my face heat up because of how embarrassed I was. 

'No way she thinks I'm having relationship problems. I now understand why Kong would rather see that dickhead in hell or work. He's impossible to reason with!' 

"Look," she approached the bed and sat down on it, looking at me. "I used to have a lot of issues with men, in and out of relationships. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. So tell me, what is this guy like?" 

Genie got as close to the phone as possible, trying to emulate the so called "friend." "He's cold and very closed off, yet he plays around too much. He's seriously unserious. In a way, he's kind of a lone wolf. He has serious issues too because his ex died." 

I looked away from my mother and towards my phone where Genie was out of shame. 'No way this is happening right now. God, save me. I seriously hate you, Genie.' 

'Love you! <3'

'Die.' 

"Okay then," it seemed that my mom was hesitant to respond, probably thinking of a way to approach this. "Do you envision yourself being with him in the future? Is he someone you enjoy spending time around?" 

'The fuck is this, relationship counseling? God no. I'd rather die than be stuck with Fushiguro.'

'Shut up and let me speak. Think of it beyond relationship advice. We might get useful advice from her! By the way, sorry in advance.' 

'Huh?'

"She loves him very much, but he frustrates her sometimes. She wants to tag along with him, but he doesn't let her." At that current moment, my face looked constipated.

"Maybe he's trying to protect her. Y'know, everyone has a reason behind everything. She should try talking to him about how he feels." It was comical to think that Fushiguro had a sliver of care towards me. It's quite literally the opposite. He'd probably watch me get ran over.

'They're talking like I'm not even here!' I cartoonishly deadpanned. 

"I tried telling her that, but she wouldn't listen. "

"You mentioned he's a little playful, right? Why not play along? Sometimes you have to trick them." 

"Good idea! She really needed this, thanks (F/N)'s mom!" 

"No problem. Oh by the way, I'm going out to the stores, need anything?" She got up from the bed and headed towards the door, turning around to face me. 

Finally, I am included, "no, thanks."

I couldn't bring myself to look at her as I glared at Genie. If looks could kill, Genie would've been gone the moment Genie spoke to my mother. 

"M'kay, see you then. Text me if you need anything." 

The moment the door closed, I rushed to grip onto Genie, however, Genie flew above my head. "I'm going to kill you." I flatly said. 

"Wait wait wait- listen- we got something good out of this!" 

"What good did I get from that horrific conversation?" I groaned and dramatically flopped back onto the bed. 

"You have to play along. So far, every time you spoke to him, you've revealed all of your cards. Try mixing it up a bit. Since you seem suspicious to him, might as well act the part."

"Hm." I stared at the ceiling in thought.

TAKE 8

'I swear I'm going to go insane.'

I stared at the back of Fushiguro's head, waiting for Kong to leave. 'Maybe I should try talking to Kong instead at some point. Hey, wait, that's a good idea. Too late now though, ugh.' I groaned to myself silently as I watched him walk away. 

Thinking about it now, I've realized that I have been bending myself in order to appeal to him. I should try being for real this time. No bullshitting.

"Excuse me, Fushiguro Toji?" 

"Hm? What?" He turned his head, sharp gaze focused on me. 

"Your mission regarding Amanai and the sorcerers, I have information regarding Gojo Satoru." My voice was monotone, no fabrication laced. 

"Oh? Well tell me, who are you and what do you gain from helping me? The money is off limits but I'm open to free service." A sly, knowing smirk made its way to his face. I felt unease settle in my stomach for the first time in awhile. It felt like he was reading into my every word and action. 

'This is a good opportunity!' 

"I'm (F/N) (L/N), and I'm not necessarily a sorcerer, but I have a technique that could be of use to you. As for my goal... Well, I don't care for the money." 

'You fucked up your introduction!'

'I panicked, but it's okay. He wouldn't know the difference.' 

"Then what is it? What do you know about Gojo clan's kid?" He seemed to be judging everything I do. I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to get a read on me. 

"Don't be impatient. I'll tell you if you promise me one thing. Don't lie or I'll seriously curse you." 

He seemed to be amused at this, and urged me to go on. He tilted his head as his body moved to face me more, relaxed.

'Got him.' Both me and Genie spoke in our thoughts at once. 

"Promise me that you'll bring me in battle against the sorcerers from now on. I can turn into weapons, and whether I can nullify, have cursed energy, or none at all is completely under my control. I cannot use this technique by myself, because I need someone to wield me."

I slipped in a white lie, I knew I could use the technique without someone to wield me. It just so happens that it's put to better use when someone can. along with that, he seems to enjoy being put on a pedestal. 

The silence that came after made me nervous, causing me to play with the zipper on my bag. Fushiguro looked away and hummed, making me think that he's seriously considering it. All my doubts suddenly came rushing to me.

'No way he's going to agree. I failed so many times, i'm probably going to fail aga-'

"So what you're saying is that you need someone to make use of your technique? Your first thought was to go to me, the sorcerer killer? Why not go to the sorcerers?" 

'Is he trying to make me admit-'

'Play along, you won't get another chance. Push your pride to the-'

'No.'

"I'm not going to the sorcerers because I want to destroy the current Jujutsu world." 

'What are you spouting?!" 

'I'm telling him the truth.'

"I want to destroy what the old timers have built in order to create a welcoming society for non-sorcerers and sorcerers alike. I cannot achieve this by myself because I need someone strong enough to use me. Someone who is capable and crazy enough to go through with it. There is no person like that besides you, Fushiguro Toji."

To say he looked invested was an understatement. After processing my words, slowly, but surely, he started laughing. Laughing. Surprise made its way to my serious expression as I watched him. He didn't seem to be mocking me either. It felt weird to witness him express any form of joy outside of battle, considering he's a seriously unserious, sly, calculating, cool and collected type of guy.

He was wiping a tear, out of breath, "gotta admit, that's something, kid." 

"Well? You do not lose anything in this deal." 

He stood up with a huff and walked past me, seemingly on his way to leave. I stood there, unsure of what to do.

'Is that a yes or no?'

I clenched my bag in anticipation, slowly feeling the disappointment of failure consuming me. With a sigh, I got ready to restart everyt-

"Why are you standing there? Come with me." 

"Huh?" I froze, looking at him dumbfounded as he stared back. 

"We still have a lot of time before we confront the sorcerers and that girl. If you're sticking with me for good, you stick with my plans too." 

The amount of relief and joy that rushed over my body was overwhelming. The amount of effort it took to get to this point made me feel proud that my efforts finally showed.

A sweet, pleased smile made it's way to my face, even to my eyes.

6. Surfing Fuack (& Ignis) "Surfs up."

7. Utility Belt Sparkit "Here to check your wires, it's in the name after all."

8. Bandana Tanzee "Does it come with infinite ammo?"

9. Dapper Rooby "When the bow wasn't classy enough."

i also feel like kit being introduced in the s2 era would give her the opportunity to really see a lot of damon's bad side since he hasnt really been "redeemed" at that point. plus i can sort of take from irl and make it so kit's turning point on how she feels about damon changes when she sees/hears about what he does for rose when she's dying......

having kit see his flaws and choose him anyway would be pretty sick.

also kit being around for the originals... for katherine.......

Fuack the duck is here!
