"Well, well Megumi~! Who would've thought you had hidden something like that in your back pocket huh~?" Mei Mei's eyes shone with an air of respect and intriguement at the younger man's display.
"Well, it's smart to keep your cards close to your chest whenever possible, no?" Megumi chuckled out as he took a moment to gather himself and desummon his shikigami to savour stamina. "Do me a favour and don't tell the Zen'in clan of that, I'd rather not deal with their hounding if possible."
He then smoothly reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small wad of cash that held 5000 yen notes on it and threw it at the white haired woman with an astute smile who caught it with a similar expression.
Mei Mei chuckled back before bringing her hand up her face and making a zipping motion across her mouth with a smirk as she pocketed the wad of cash.
"You know me too well, these lips are sealed~."
"Good, then let's go. That's all I can sense in this building, we got 'em all. I need a warm bed, a shower and some food." Megumi said as he stretched and walked to her as she joined him walking out of the building.
'Let me send Blizzard out to go check on Tsumiki, even when I'm on the other side of the country I have to keep an eye on her. There's no telling when Kenjaku could strike, although it's been so many years without any sign of him so maybe he changed his plans? He could have cursed her at school for all I know.. Dammit all to hell.'
Megumi's expression shifted to that of worry and annoyance as Blizzard ran past the two of them in his Totality form and blurred away in the direction of the Fushiguro household. Over the past 3 years Megumi had gotten his efficiency with maintaining Totality so high that he could even keep it on in his sleep, it took a large amount of his training time to reach that level but it was worth it.
Mei saw the Shikigami run off but paid it no mind as it had become somewhat of a regular occurrence with the two of them as they had started to team up regularly about a year ago, Megumi would always send Blizzard in his Totality form back home after each mission as they would usually take some time off to relax together before heading their separate ways.
"Well I'll say~, you definitely deserve some 5 star treatment after all that work. I know just the place~" The silver haired woman said as she pulled out a phone and called someone while entering the back seat of the limousine that had been waiting for them outside, Megumi joining her on the other side.
"Trust me, you'll love it there~."
…
Atop a luxurious hotel in the heart of the Ginza shopping district was a penthouse floor to ceiling windows that revealed the starry night sky to those within. Inside the room the smell of cigarettes and high class alcohol permeated throughout.
Relaxing on a soft leather couch was Megumi, he was savouring a cigarette with a plate of steak in front of him. He wore a Black fluffy robe that was loosely tied around him in a way that revealed his slightly scared chest.
"You really weren't lying when you said I'd love it, huh Mei? This place is nice, sure takes the edge off after a day of slaughtering curses." The black haired man said as exhaled some smoke and looked to his side at his partner.
She also wore a robe but hers was a brilliant Silver matching her silver hair that was flowing freely down her body, the similarly loose robe revealed her blessed figure. She smiled at him before taking a sip of a glass of red wine. Her plate had a white pasta dish with black truffles on top.
"Told you~. There really isn't anything better than having money and enjoying your life to the fullest~!" She said as she laid back and crossed her right leg over her left, revealing her milky white thigh.
"It is nice, I'll give you that much." Megumi removed his cigarette and put it out in a white and black marble cigarette dish, he then reached forwards and grabbed his own glass of wine and sipped.
"I am surprised to see you act so naughty though~, what would Tsumiki think?"
Megumi looked at his glass of wine with a small considering look on his face before he replied "Well, we are Jujutsu Sorcerers afterall, why bother to try and act Human?"
'Speaking of which, let me check on her... Looks like she's heading to sleep soon, as long as she's safe nothing else really matters.' Megumi thought in his head as he took a moment to focus on his connection with Blizzard in order to see through his eyes and saw Tsumiki ruffle the bipedal dog's fur before she went to sleep.
To this the older woman just laughed a bit before agreeing with him "That is true I suppose, when you're capable of doing things no regular man could hope to achieve, the morality of things like underage drinking, smoking and the like start to blur and seem rather foolish."
'Well it's nice to be able to enjoy adult things again, didn't realise I missed alcohol that much. Among other things…' he looked to his side at the older woman who was currently enjoying a bite of her pasta.
'Not sure how we got here, but I'm happy we did. Been a while and I'm definitely not doing any of this with a girl who's younger than me, I always did have a taste for older women...'
"So would you care to tell me what that maximum technique you did back there was? It wasn't like anything I've ever seen, and it definitely isn't on any of the records of previous Ten Shadows users." The silver haired woman inquired with a sly smirk and a hand under her chin.
"Well if it's all the same to you, I'd rather keep some cards close to my chest. Even though I like you, you and I both know that it's not a good idea to let others in on our personal techniques." Megumi gave her the same smirk back as he took a bite of his steak.
"Well that's just no fun~, but whatever you say Megumi. I'm hurt though~, even after all of this you still only just 'like' me?" Mei teased him, her smile not leaving her face as she reached to her side and pulled up a pair of black pants.
Reaching inside its pocket she found his cigarette box and pulled out one of them, she then took a few yen from the table beside her and put it in the pocket and dropped the pants back onto the ground.
Not needing her to say anything, he brought his hand up and pointed at her face. From his finger an arc of electricity formed and shot forwards with surprising precision, hitting the butt of the cigarette and lighting it ablaze.
Mei Mei took a deep breath before blowing out the smoke. "That is really convenient~. There anything that technique of yours can't do? I mean honestly~, you're making the rest of us seem useless by comparison."
"HAH! Never expected humility out of you Mei. But I wouldn't understate the power of your own technique either."
Before either of them could continue their pleasant chat, Megumi's phone rang out for a moment. Checking it he saw that he had a message from Satoru.
"Yo 'Gumi!" - Idiot.
You - "Wassup Satoru? What do you need?"
"I got something really cool to show you, meet me at Jujutsu tech early tomorrow!" - Idiot.
You - "Alright but this better be good…"
"Well, it looks like Satoru needs me for something important tomorrow morning, though knowing him. That could either be a particularly stupid looking curse or the revival of Ryomen fuckin Sukuna, so I'm gonna hit the hay soon." Megumi said as he stood up from his place on the couch.
Mei Mei turned her face up at him with a knowing look and nodded to him.
"... wanna have another round before bed?" Megumi asked as he walked towards the large queen sized bed while slipping off his robe.
Mei Mei's smile deepened into a smirk as she stood up from her place and walked to join him with a sway in her hips as her robe began to loosen and fall off her body.
"Do you even need to ask~?"
…
As the morning light hit Megumi's eyelids, he twitched for a moment before opening them. Taking a moment to wake himself up, he then felt a shift beside him as a pair of arms gripped him tighter for a moment pulling him closer to the warm body beside him.
It let go a moment later, he laid there for a few minutes to savour the feeling before getting up and getting in the shower to ready himself for the day ahead. He said goodbye to his partner and then before long he left the building from the back exit.
He wore a Black and White Yukata with his Sorcerer Haori on top. He used it to be able to utilise his technique for fast transport without ruining his clothes.
"Incarnation: Nue."
His back bulged and shifted for a moment before a pair of Orange wings sprouted from them, the wings stretched and shifted for a moment as if to loosen a limb that hadn't been moved in a while.
Megumi readied himself and flapped his wings with great strength as he soared off to the skies, within moments he reached the clouds.
Looking around himself he took in the sights before spotting his destination, he took a moment to thank himself for taking the time to memorise the Tokyo skyline and then flew towards Jujutsu Tech.
After a pleasant short flight thanks to his incredible flying speeds that casually reached 100 Km/hr, he reached the inner Jujutsu Tech compound.
He instantly spotted Gojo Satoru waiting for him at the front gate of the main building, landing down softly in front him. He took a moment to swipe away any dust on himself as his wings shuddered for a moment before melting and fading away into shadows.
"So Satoru, what is so important you made me come over here so early?" The younger man asked, slightly annoyed at being woken up so early.
He said as he got close to Gojo and looked him in the eye, he had to slightly look down to do so as over the past 3 years he had a large growth spurt and became 6'4 feet tall, precisely one inch taller than Satoru much to the older man's continued annoyance.
But before he got his answer, he then finally focused enough to sense the massive presence behind the shorter man. The sheer amount of cursed energy it held was enough to give himself pause, it had even more than himself, although not by much.
"I wanted you to meet someone very interesting! Megumi, meet Yuta Okkotsu!" Gojo declared as he moved to the side revealing the boy that was hiding behind him.
Yuta is a young man with dark blue eyes and messy black hair. It was clear from his body language that he was stressed out and very nervous. He lacks confidence in his posture and has black circles under his eyes from not getting enough sleep.
Yuta has a loose white uniform jacket with sleeves that stop at his forearms. He also wears slender blue jeans that tuck into white sneakers that match his jacket. He also carries his katana case on his back.

"Eh? O-Oh! N-Nice to meet you Fushiguro-san! G-Gojo-san told me a lot about you, it's clear he respects you. I-I look forward to working alongside you and learn Jujutsu Sorcery!" Yuta exclaimed in a panicked tone while bowing deeply.
"Haha, no need to be so formal with me Okkotsu. I don't care much for formalities, I'm sure we'll get along." Megumi bowed back lightly as he dismissed Yuta's concerns.
His casual demeanour and dismissal slightly overwhelmed Yuta who sputtered for a moment, his heart rate spiked due to his surprise. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem, however Yuta Okkotsu is no normal man, he is cursed.
Behind him a large figure formed from malevolent cursed energy as it sounded out with a threat that promised limitless violence.
"Yuuutaa! Is he making you saad? Do you want me to punish himm?"
The voice made Yuta shake in fear as he desperately begged its owner to not do anything brash "Rika, no, don't hurt him!"
Rika was a massive, monstrous curse with long arms, a powerful upper body, and a shadow that resembled a tail for a lower body. She possessed one cycloptic eye, which was concealed by a brain-shaped shell. She had several tendrils growing out of her head, long unclipped fingernails, and a mouth full of sharp thin fangs.

Her manifestation caused Megumi to jump back slightly as he instinctively summoned his own shikigami, first among them was Blizzard in his Totality form who wrapped around Megumi protectively while growling who he had instinctively desummoned and resummoned back to him.
Before anything could escalate however Gojo took everyone's attention by loudly clapping his hands with enhanced power thanks to his enhanced strength which caused a slight shockwave.
"Nice of you to show yourself Rika-chan! Megumi, this is Rika Orimoto, a Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit. Please try to get along, if only for Yuta's sake!" The white haired man said with a laugh as he pointed towards the boy.
The boy was visibly freaking out, taking this chance he pleaded to Rika "Rika please calm down, Fushiguro-san didn't do anything bad to me, I was just really nervous and got surprised!"
The curse seemed to stop and consider this for a moment before she shrunk and relented with an unnerving almost-pout that looked off on her cursed visage.
"OKAAAAY! If you ssay so Yutaaa! I like hisss puppy, it's reaallyy cutee! But if he bullies you I'll killl him!"
Megumi sighed with an amused smile as he desummoned his shikigami, he chuckled as he looked at Rika.
"You won't have to worry about that Rika-chan, I like Yuta and I'll protect him from any bullies too. I think you're cute too." Megumi said as he talked to the special grade apparition as if he was consoling an upset child.
His way of addressing the curse seemed to have worked well as her almost-pout shifted into a too wide smile that showed all her unnerving sharp teeth.
"Hehe, I knoww, Rika-chan is reallly cute but I belong onlyy to Yutaa got iit? So no funnny business!"
The smile and bashful act from such a horrifying looking curse unnerved all those present but they were all just happy that she was happy.
BZZZZZT BZZZZZT
RING RING
Megumi's phone rang out loudly and interrupted them, he excused himself and walked away. Taking out his phone and accepting the call.
"Hello? This is Fushiguro Megumi, who is this?" Megumi called out as soon as he accepted the call.
"Fushiguro Megumi? Good, we have something important to tell you as you're the main emergency number listed on Tsumiki's file." A female voice sounded out from the phone.
"WHAT? This is her brother, what happened to Tsumiki?" Megumi shouted out as a foreboding feeling grew in him, his heart sinking to his gut.
'Please god tell me this isn't happening, I kept Blizzard protecting her everyday and kept an eye on her for years this can't still be happening!'
"I'm afraid to tell you that Tsumiki has fallen into a coma."
Megumi Fushiguro is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness.

Que amazing Guitar Solo.
Also have you guys seen the latest JJK leaks? Dear god I've never seen something more beautiful in my life istg.
Yuta's bum ass fumbled as usual but my Goat Himadori Wuji, he made that bastard spit up his fingers holy shit I've never seen something more gorgeous in my whole life.
The only thing that came close was when Gojo made that fraud go to sleep mid fight and had to be saved by his papa.
Plotkuna might make it outta the Jacob's ladder somehow but I'm still putting all my life savings in Yuji stocks once again as I've always done, oh and Yuji doubters?
Stay on that side.
