Chapter 2: Zen’in
The tension was rising as they stared towards one another. The Sharingan was spinning rapidly, it's 3 tomoe started to look like a single solid line of black as Fukashi Uchiha was observing Satoru Gojo.
Gojos eyes weren't spinning but they were shimmering and observing The Last Uchiha aswell, but before the tension could get too high he dropped his blindfold and let it snap back into place across his face.
"Nice eyes" Gojo said with a grin splattered on his face.
Fukashi just grunted and nodded before taking the seat Satoru was previously sat in. Gojo pulled a annoyed face before he responded "You're meant to say it back" he said to the now sitting teenager.
Fukashi just hummed before he met eyes with the principal. "So, Fukashi Uchiha correct?" Fukashi responded with a nod and the principal pulled out some papers from his Desk.
He ran through them and pulled out a small laminated card he handed to the teenager. "That is your ID card for all sorcery matters" Fukashi grabbed the card and turned it over, a photo of him was on the card though it must have been taken at least 3-4 years ago. His birthdate, name and his class was also written to the side of the picture.
"As you can see all the details you need are on that card, you're classed as a first grade sorcerer at this time" Fukashi looked to his right at Akira essentially asking what that meant, only to get a worried frown in response.
The principal of course noticed the small interaction "Don't worry you won't be sent on any first grade missions for a while, you are only that grade due to your eyes" The principal winced slightly at the way it came out but well it had to be said.
Akira noticed Fukashis eyes narrow slightly. Akira looked back to the standing Gojo who was watching the interaction while lazily leaning back on a nearby wall. Gojo was an odd man, the most powerful Sorcerer undoubtedly but still Akira wasn't sure if he wanted such an eccentric man teaching his boy.
The principal suddenly stood, gaining everyone's attention. "Right, you can go around the campus and look around, you'll be with the second years" The principal nodded towards the yawning Gojo.
"He will take you and introduce you to them, I hope you enjoy your day Fukashi" The principal dismissed them with a simple wave. "Akira, stay" Fukashi turned to Akira in slight worry but walked off behind the already talking Gojo.
Fukashi turned and followed Gojo out of the room "-nyway this guy was like 8 feet tall and I-" Fukashi was worried and couldn't help looking back to the principal's door.
This Gojo guy was weird, he was powerful, according to what he had heard he was the most powerful sorcerer of this era. Fukashi wasn't sure how, he was never told of the man's technique.
Maybe it's those weird eyes?
Gojo was still talking about some curse or something as Fukashi interrupted him "Hey, what's up with your eyes" Gojo slightly turned back to the curious Uchiha.
Gojo grin only widened "These are the six eyes" as if that explained everything.
The Uchiha narrowed his eyes again "That didnt explain anything".
Gojo only turned back with an upturned grin. "Tell me what that sharingan of yours does and I'll tell you about my eyes".
Fukashi only looked away and ignored Gojos knowing smile.
"Okay I'll show you to the second years and then I gotta get going." he said casually as suddenly did a quick turn down a small hallway.
Fukashi didn't respond and barely listened to Gojo suddenly talking about a different curse he exorcised.
"-You'll be the fifth second year, right now the fourth one is training in Africa. Ah little Yuta he's just the cutest" Gojo pulled out a tiny picture of him and a boy with sleepy eyes and black hair smiling next to each other.
Fukashi wished he had a similar picture with Akira he only hummed in response to Gojo and his loud nature. He just preferred a chill person like Akira, they could just relax and train.
Maybe getting trained by this Gojo guy might be a mistake.
He was knocked out of his thoughts by a sudden voice "Kelp". Fukashi quickly turned to the voice, it's source was a boy who looked a bit older than him with a face mask that covered his mouth and nose.
He had white hair that was just short enough to not get into his eyes. "What did you just say?" Fukashi asked in slight confusion.
His question wasn't answered as a new voice quickly spoke. "Who the hell is this Gojo?" Before she even finished her sentence his eyes had already locked onto hers with curiosity and caution lingering in them.
She was pretty, he had never met a girl his age before.
Before he could speak he heard more footsteps to his right.
His eyes quickly swiped over and came to the large thing in the corner. "What the hell are you" Fukashi spoke with confusion, lacing his tone as he stared at the odd animal in the corner.
"I'm Panda" It stood up and Fukashi only tensed more. "Nice to meet you" It said with a calm smile on its face, it offered its large paw to Fukashi who only raised his eyebrows in response.
"I didn't ask your name" Fukashi saw the girl and other guy bristle in response "I said what the hell are you?".
Gojo winced, this wasn't exactly going great. But before he could interrupt and try to sort this out he was beaten to it.
"A Panda" Panda saw the confusion on the black haired boy's face and tried to explain further. "Like…like Panda, the animal"
"You made that up" Fukashi said with his brows now lowered as he observed the walking animal. Akira taught him the animals and he never mentioned any 'Panda'.
Gojo quickly interrupted the odd interaction. "Hey! So this" he said while pointing at the confused Fukashi "Is Fukashi and he's your new teammate, he was meant to be with the first years but with what recently happened…" he trailed off as if he expected Fukashi to know what he was talking about.
He didn't.
"He also grew up quite…uh, secluded and so he doesn't know much theory or well anything really" Gojo said with a strained grin as Fukashi was glaring at him.
Those eyes were creepy huh.
"Anyway you guys gotta teach him because I'm busy" Gojo suddenly disappeared leaving the group in a slightly awkward silence.
Until a voice suddenly exploded, "Oh! Because he's busy!" The green haired girl exclaimed as she threw her hands in the air.
Fukashi took two steps back, Akira had told him that sometimes people suddenly go rabid. At that thought Fukashis eyes instantly locked onto the Panda "Do you have rabies" he asked with narrowed eyes and tensed muscles.
Rabies is bad, Akira told him that!
Pandas eyes widened suddenly as he jumped in slight shock "Wha-what?" He asked while the green haired girl was still shouting at the roof. "No, I-I don't have rabies"
The white haired boy suddenly exclaimed "Salmon" Fukashi turned quickly and examined him.
After a few awkward seconds of staring Fukashi blinked.
"Is that code?" Fukashi asked, maybe all of these people had something wrong with them and this boy was just a spy of some kind.
Panda quickly cut into the conversation with a genuine smile on his black and white face. "This is Toge Inumaki" he said while gesturing to the now waving white haired boy.
Before Fukashi could even think about waving back Panda spoke again "This is Maki Ze-" The green haired girl suddenly glared in Panda's direction interrupting his introduction.
Maki spoke up with anger tainting her voice "Just Maki".
"Kelp" was said again by Inumaki who waved at Fukashi. He was still worried about the potential rabies riddled panda so warily took his eyes off the large animal and met eyes with Inumaki.
Fukashi noticed the cursed energy heavily focused around the boys throat and assumed his cursed technique must be some sort of speech or mayhaps it's some sort of trident hidden under his scarf.
Fukashi nodded, it must be the trident.
He took two steps towards the boy and offered his hand in a handshake, Toge Inumaki quickly took his hand in a weak grip and was confused when Fukashi shook his hand left to right instead of up and down.
Toge Inumaki then watched in slight horror as Fukashi then did the same horizontal handshake with everyone else before shaking his head and standing up.
It's time for some training with the new guy.
—-
They eventually made it out to the training grounds, it took some convincing of Maki and Panda, both were tired from a previous training session earlier in the day.
Fukashi was following two steps behind the group as he listened to their conversation, they were talking about the last mission they went on.
Fukashi was interested and listened to them critique each other during said mission. Apparently Panda was a bit too careless and almost got himself injured and Inumaki relied his cursed technique too much.
That trident must be cool.
Fukashi thought to himself about his own fights, he had only ever fought the occasional animal or Akira. He found himself quite nervous as he bounced his eyes back and forth over the large campus.
His nervous thoughts were stopped as they stopped at a plain field. Maki turned to him "You will be sparring me first" her glasses seemed to glint as before he could even reply she rushed forward towards him with a staff in her hands.
He stumbled back in surprise, he almost tripped over air as he once again threw his body backwards to avoid another swipe!
"Wha-" his words were interrupted as before he could even react he felt his body fly to the side and a throbbing pain in his jaw.
He stumbled as he stood back up and turned to Maki who was eyeing his already bruising jaw.
'Akira always gave a countdown before fights, that wasn't fair' he thought as he stretched his jaw and winced at the sudden pain that sprouted from it.
His black hair blew in front of his eyes and in that instant he activated his Sharingan. The red blazing eye was activated with ease, its three tomoe spun rapidly.
He saw Makis' eyes widen slowly and heard a gasp to his left. He burst forward in a flash before Maki could bring her staff up in defence he punched.
His fist made her ribs creak before she was sent flying backwards. The feeling of her ribs against his fist was odd and slightly unsettling but Fukashi found himself to be enjoying the experience.
As she was about to hit the floor he pushed cursed energy into his feet and disappeared in pure speed.
He reappeared directly above Maki and kicked her flying body down into the ground causing dirt to go flying, covering the fight from the now worried Panda and Inumaki who came rushing over.
The dirt settled and the scene was fully revealed to her teammates.
He held her by the throat against the ground, he could feel the frantic pulse of blood rushing through her veins. Her breathing was hectic and panicked as she looked up into his blazing eyes.
He liked that look.
Her eyebrows were raised, eyes blown wide, her pupils were dilated with fear. She looked weak, before he could further examine this feeling in his chest she grunted and pushed against his hold with minimal success.
He broke out of his haze with a sudden clarity and let go of the girl. He cleared his throat and stood up awkwardly while pulling at the collar of his black hoodie.
The wind blew his hair into his eyes, he quickly brushed it out of the way with his hand and looked towards the shocked and worried Panda and Inumaki Toge.
His mind was occupied on one thought while he scuffed the dirt with his shoe.
He liked that.
