"You're Fushiguro Megumi-kun, right?"
'Huh? That voice sounds awfully familiar, if I really became Fushiguro Megumi after Truck-kun killed me then that must be Gojo! Shit I have to go according to what I can remember with canon or it might sound off or make Gojo or Tsumiki suspicious, thank god I reread the manga so many times. I think it was…' Jack, now Megumi, turned around and spoke back to the voice he heard behind him.
"Who are you? And what's with that weird face?" The little boy remarked. The man behind him was exactly who he thought he would be. He was quite tall, had pure white hair, wearing what seemed to be a black school uniform with dark blue round sunglasses that didn't quite hide the ethereal glow of the sapphire blue eyes behind them. He was Gojo Satoru the future strongest sorcerer of the modern age and the man who would fight Ryomen Sukuna and would unfortunately lose to what many in the Jujutsu Kasien community would consider bad writing.

"Just thinking you look similar that's all." The young man then raised his hand and went on to explain. "So your dad is actually from the reputable Zenin sorcerer family. Even if I think he's just a big loser, he left the family and had you. You have powers, and you can see them, right? I bet you've already manifested your cursed technique too. The Zenin family loves sorcerers blessed with quality cursed power, a cursed technique typically manifests between the ages of four and six. A ripe time to sell! You're something your dad kept from the Zenin family, his trump card." He concluded as he rubbed his middle and thumb fingers together.
The white-haired man crouched down to the young raven-haired boy's eye level and said "Sucks doesn't it? Your dad… I ki-"
"So what? I don't care where he is or what he is doing, I haven't seen him in years. I don't even remember what he looks like but I got the gist from what you're saying. Tsumiki's mom hasn't returned in a while either so that means they're done with us and are living happily together." Megumi cut him off and said dismissively as in the background you could hear Tsumiki open the balcony sliding door and exclaim "Hey Megumi, you're back!"
Gojo leaned his head against his arm still crouched down and exclaimed in amusement "Are you really a first grader? Well, if you ever get curious about your dad, just ask." The young man said as he stood up straight, his voice slightly straining as he did so. He then continued, saying "I think you might find it interesting, now then let's get down to business. What do you want to do? Do you want to go to the Zenin clan?"
'Nice, it looks like he doesn't find anything out of the ordinary, now I just have to keep myself in character until eventually it becomes second nature.' He looked like he considered it for a second before asking "What'll happen to Tsumiki, if we go there will Tsumiki be happy? My answer depends on that."
The white-haired man did not need even a second to consider it as he flat-out denied the notion without a second thought "No. There is absolutely no way, I can guarantee that." The younger boy seemed to grimace tellingly at that, telling the older man all that he needed to know. "Heh heh… Gotcha! I'll take care of things!" He said as he put his hand upon the boy and ruffled his hair good-naturedly. Then, he turned away waving his back at the boy, and stated "But you're gonna have to work extra hard. I'm counting on ya!"
His hand fell back down to his waist as he then said with a tone of finality "You better get strong."
"Strong enough to keep up with me."

One year later.
February, 2010.
'It's been a year since I came to this world, I've acclimated as best as you can think one can after what I've been through. My new life has been kinda nice all things considered; while it does get kind of frustrating being younger for more menial things like reaching high shelves and being able to do basically what I want, whenever I want. It has been a rather relaxing life, speaking of which.' Megumi walked to the door of a small house that was in a rather well-off area of the Tokyo suburbs, the white marble of the foyer leading into the house seemed to signify the wealth that was required to live in such a refined and expensive home.
The lock of the front door gave a soft "clink" as the young boy opened the door and went inside the house. "I'm home!" He informed me as he took off his shoes and went inside the house, it had white walls with tasteful decorations and some expensive furniture. "Ah Megumi, you're back! How was school?" A young girl a few years older than himself asked, she had long brown hair styled in a ponytail and kept long bangs on both sides of her face, with soft brown eyes that seemed to radiate kindness. She was Fushiguro Tsumiki, his elder step-sister and the one who took care of him most of the time.

"Yeah, I'm back and school was boring but fine." The younger boy replied as he took off his shoes and fluffy coat that had the initials 'VeryDry', it looked like a quite expensive brand that along with the house gave a picture of wealth that no two children living alone should possess. "Did Satoru come by today?"
"No, he sent me a message telling me that he would come in later in the evening, he said he had a mission to take care of a Grade 1 cursed spirit on the way before he can get here."
Cursed spirits they were along with Cursed Energy, the thing that separated this world from his previous. Energy is created from the negative emotions of human beings all around the world, every human has some cursed energy inside them. The thing that separates Jujutsu Sorcerers from normal human beings around them is their ability to perceive Cursed spirits and being able to manipulate cursed energy to their whims.
Cursed Techniques are abilities fueled by cursed energy. Different types include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, new shadow styles, and more. These abilities are what are used to kill cursed spirits or to protect yourself from others. Innate techniques are widely believed by many to be the strongest type of Cursed Techniques and are usually passed down through blood, this makes those who are blessed with an innate technique very desirable for many Jujutsu clans and Jujutsu Tech higher-ups. Clans such as the Zenin clan are willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money for specific techniques such as Projection Sorcery and the fabled Ten Shadows.
Speaking of the Ten Shadows, the raven-headed boy brought his hands up together to a shape that
resembled the head of a wolf with its maw open. And then shadows erupted from his sides as two majestic beasts climbed from the abyssal voids on either side of him. One is a pure vibrant White wolf with a fluffy mane and three red dots on his head connected in a triangle, the other is also a wolf looking the same as his brother except a deep Onyx Black.

"Ruff!" "Woof!" The twin wolves called out as they were summoned by their master who called out "Divine Dogs." The wolves excitedly ran around the boy as both their tails were wagging side to side.
"Ah, you summoned Blizzard and Nyx! Come here, boys!" Tsumiki went over excitedly, and the dogs responded to her excitement with even more excitement, running over. Blizzard being the more social and excitable of the two jumped on Tsumiki dropping her on the floor as he licked her face in greeting, his brother Nyx not being all that far behind.
[A/N: I know that in the OG manga/anime, normal humans can't see shikigami but in this fic, I've decided that normal humans can see and interact with the Ten Shadows, it doesn't really change much for the story, and it's only there for fun moments so I'm keeping it in]
"Hehehe get off me you little rascals!" The young girl laughed out as she was being greeted by the two dogs. "Well, they seem very happy to see you." Megumi laughed as he went over to the kitchen to grab a drink.
As the black-haired boy drank some water he got from the fridge they all heard a knock on the front door of the house, Megumi went over to the door to investigate but before he could get close the door flew open revealing Gojo Satoru, Heir of the Gojo clan and the man that took care of them as he promised when they first met.
With him was a young woman whom they had gotten to know very closely over the year that it had been since they were in the care of Gojo.
Shoko is a tall woman with short hair that only reached just past her chin with bangs swept to the left side. She has soft brown eyes with dark lines under them, making it appear as if she's underslept. She also has a mole underneath her right eye and thick brown eyebrows. And wore the typical jacket-type jujutsu high uniform.

"Yo, how's it going you brats?"
"Oh c'mon, Satoru, no need to call them that. How are you two?"
