Chapter 3 Thoughts of the Honored One

Trivia #3: Kuma is super happy that Catoru likes her because animals tend to shy away from her since she has an abundance of Curse Energy. And so far the only animal that has liked her is Catoru.

Satoru watched in pure irritation and annoyance as the cat version of himself snuggled to Kuma. The fluffy white furred menace was making itself comfortable on her, practically using her breast as a pillow to which she had nothing to complain about. It was an adorable cat after all, she saw no need to reprimand it for something that it probably didn’t understand. So instead she patted Catoru's head, smiling as the cat purred contentedly in her hold.

Shoko had introduced herself some time ago, smirking playfully in interest as the silver eyed girl stared at her in awe. Both of them took a liking to each other in record speed that left Satoru wondering how their classmate got Kuma to call her big sister in a matter of minutes. The whitette was used to being the center of the conversation, that's how it's always been in all the clan meetings.

The brainless conservative old fools who would stop at nothing to keep him restrained and use his powers for themselves, pretending as if the Gojo heir couldn’t hear their innecessant whispers and the intention behind the smile they wear as their mask. He would sit silently in his formal traditional attire consisting of a white hakama and an azure nagagi, a haori draped over his shoulders matching the light blue shade of his eyes. He’d listen to their pleas without a single response, staring forward with a blank gaze as if he wasn’t present there. How foolish they were to think he’d heed their commands and comply with their plans effortlessly. How desperately miserable they are to believe that they could control a God like him.

Though on the other hand he was completely being ignored here by his classmates and the newest addition to their group, leaving him alone to pout childishly at a random corner of the room. The conceited man-god is grateful that they treated him like an equal, just as how he viewed them on the same level as he did. It gave him a momentary sense of relief and freedom that he was indeed only Satoru with them, not the omnipotent God of the Gojo clan.

Hidden behind his jet black sunglasses is his Six Eyes, constantly watching over his comrades in a world of blurred colors depicting the Curse Energy that exists everywhere. His eyes that they called to be one of the biggest blessings in the Jujutsu world. The very same one that has allowed him to both protect what was his and what was his obligation to protect as the strong would for the weak. And the exact ones that granted him to remove everything that stands in his path. He has no regrets nor remorse for all the lives he's taken.

He is the God of his clan, of the Jujutsu world, he wishes for no such trivial things.

His eyes burn and his head pounds, the feeling of molten iron constantly being hammered down by the finest blacksmith was etched into his mind as the burden of carrying the power of the Gods. The days he curled into himself, whimpering from the over-sensitivity of his Six Eyes while being isolated so that no one would see him in his weakest state didn’t exist. There was no such thing as a weakness for a God like him. If he wasn’t strong enough to fight for the world, to protect what was important to him, to fulfill his obligations as the God that he was revered for, then what hope did the world have? The answer could only be none.
