(Kinryu's POV)
I let out a tired sigh, "Man...." I said as I sat on a bench, "This fucking day...."
"What is it?" I heard someone call out, "Tired already?"
I looked up to see Shoko walking up to me while holding a can of cola in her hands. She was wearing her doctor's coat, covering her beautiful body underneath, which she had casual teacher's clothes on.
"Oh, my sweet Shoko." I said with a smile
She sat down next to me, giving me the can, "Here, you need some sugar." She said, "You look really tired."
"Something like that." I said with another sigh, opening the can
"I hear you were in the Zenin Estate." she said as she pulled out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, "What's that about?"
I pulled out a lighter and lit the cigarette, "Yea, the Head of the Zenin wants me to hand over Megumi." I said as she took a huff of the cigarette, "Usual shit, Ten Shadows and all."
She exhaled some smoke as I pulled the lighter away, "Hm, they're persistent." She said, "But what did they offer in return?"
"Women." I said with a chuckle, "Either one of the twins or two older women. Naoya Zenin offered herself to me."
"Wow." She said with a chuckle, having her cigarette in her fingers, "That's quite the offer. What did you say?"
"I told Naobito to leave me alone." I said as I took a sip of the cola, "What do you think I said?"
"Typical of you." She said as she leaned back and exhaled some more smoke, "Gojo-chan would not have liked it if you accepted."
"She wants to have drinks with Mei Mei and I." I said, "She is just looking for trouble, that one. She knows that Mei Mei is competitive and will do something hasty."
"Yea, I know." She said as she looked at me, "I was part of that hassle."
"All of these woman, Shoko-chan....." I said, "They're too much for me sometimes. Maybe I should've settled down with you."
"Oh please." She said as she took another huff, "I am not in the mood for that shitshow. Besides, I don't want to hurt my friends."
"Shitshow??" I said, "But you and I get along great!"
"We do." she said with a smile, "But I don't want to deal with the hassle that is Gojo-chan and all the other women you stuck your cock in."
"Bah, you always treat me like a man-whore." I said with a scowl
"You are one." She said without hesitation, "But you are a good guy. If it were not for the hassle that is Gojo-chan and the others, I would have considered it."
"You and Uta are too good for me, that's why I don't insist on having sex with you." I said with a chuckle
"We can do a sneaky link, the three of us." She said with a smile, "Nobody needs to hear of it."
"Oh? Sounds like a plan." I smirked
"A joke, but maybe not." She said, "By the way, I hear that Gojo-chan sent Megumi-kun and Maki-chan to a hunt?"
"Low-level curses, apparently." I said, "I called her again and told her to go and check on her kids."
"Maybe that's a good idea." She said as she exhaled some more smoke,
"They're still young, they should be supervised."

(Third Person POV)
[Later That Night]
A young boy with black hair was standing outside a building, holding a sword that was imbued with cursed energy.
He was looking around, seeing that there was nobody in the street in front of him, "Hm...." He said as he felt a chill in the air, "Where is she....?"
"Megumi." He turned to see a young girl walking up to him, "You're here."
"Maki-senpai." Megumi said, "Did the exorcism go well?"
She nodded, holding a spear against her shoulder, "It went well." She said, "It was just a Grade 4, nothing too bad. Thanks for listening and stayed out here, keeping watch."
Megumi nodded, "Yea." He said, "I can handle my own against the unranked curses, I suppose. But it is better if an actual Jujutsu Sorcerer handled the graded ones."
"You're not wrong." Maki said as she looked around, adjusting her glasses, "If Sensei found out that I let you handle the graded ones, she would pull my cheek too hard...."
"She's a crazy woman..." Megumi frowned, "I do wonder what's going on in that head of hers."
"I hear it's her obsession with Kinryu-san." Maki said with a slight smirk, "She's a woman who happens to be in love with a man."
"Kinryu?" Megumi asked, "That guy? But he's a rude guy."
"Rude, but he's strong." Maki said as they started walking, "But Sensei likes him, it's obvious."
"Oh is that so?" Megumi said as he looked at her, "Hm, never gave it much thought. I guess she does like spending time with him."
Maki nodded, "Yea." She said, "They do spend so much time together. When you're officially enrolled in Jujutsu High, expect her to always be late because she's spending time with Kinryu-san. It's almost like they're dating."
"They aren't?" Megumi asked
"Nah." Maki said, "Not from what she says."
"Huh, how about that." Megumi said, "Well, I guess I could ask her what's up with-.....Senpai, what's that?"
Maki stopped and looked ahead, seeing a large figure that was shrouded in shadows. She narrowed her eyes and saw that it was the form of a skeletal horse with long tendrils on it's mane. The moment she laid eyes upon it, there was a powerful pressure emitted in the area, freezing the two of them in place.
"W-What....?!" Maki immediately began to shake, her body reacting in pure fear, "A Cursed Spirit????"
Megumi's body was also shaking in terror, his eyes widened, "What is this power?! This feeling.....!!!"
Maki's eyes were full of fear, "T-That's....!!" She started, "There is no way! How?! Why?! That's a....."
"Special Grade?!"
