Author's Note- Since Gege left many thing untold about the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the gaps in the past of the characters and the Ten Shadows Technique itself, I would obviously have to take some creative liberties to finish this story so obviously some things have to be AU, like the abilities and appearance of Funeral Tiger. Another thing; since this Megumi is another person entirely his interpretation of the technique will obviously be different so don't go bananas if you see the Technique work differently from canon. Also I promise to stay as close to the canon lore as I can, so Sukuna isn't going to turn out to be a good guy in disguise. The only thing I'm going to take liberties with is the past of the character and Ten Shadows technique itself. Thanks for reading this note and enjoy the story.
-CHAPTER 1-
-UNKNOWN POV-
Alright… this is a weird situation. I think as I look around at the dark void I'm stuck in right now.
And I'm saying this after being subjected to some pretty weird moments.
Like the time I woke up in a bath full of ice cream… when I worked at an ice cream shop.
Needless to say, I got fired for that.
Now that I thought about it, it was no wonder that none of my jobs lasted that long. But my luck had always been a bit weird so I just shrugged as honestly none of it mattered after having a truck rammed into you and dying.
Really, talking about my past was kind of useless now. After the way my body had been crashed into I knew there was no way of surviving that. This obviously leads me to believe that the void I was stuck in was either the limbo or some kind of hell.
Honestly, I didn't know what to think of my situation right now. Should I cry? Should I begin to think about the reality of life? Of the universe and what being dead yet being able to think means for the world as a whole-?!
-Sorry about that, I've been here a while and now the boredom is really beginning to set in.
But just as my mind began to think of some other ways to entertain myself, a blink later I was waking up in a bed as birds chirped outside. Where… Where am I now?
Honestly the room was pretty clean and organized, nothing like how I lived. So this was obviously someone else's. Removing the covers and standing up, I felt another change.
Why do I feel different? The last time I had a similar thought was when I was going through puberty.
But nevertheless my surprise was evident when I saw myself in a mirror.
I… wasn't myself anymore. I was a teenager but I had looked nowhere close to this being Indian. This… body was tall, lean, almost skinny with muscles that showed that he used to work out. With spiky hair that settled down in a weird porcupine-like looking hair. And narrow black eyes, fair and handsome Asian face. Wearing an oversized black T-shirt and some white pajamas, he-I looked handsome needless to say. In a "pretty boy"-ish kind of way.
"What the fuck is this freaky Friday shit?!" I muttered out loud in amazement. I had just died after all so forgive me for not thinking about the logistics of all this. And that voice! It seems straight out of an anime or something!
After pinching myself and slapping myself (just to be sure), I was pretty much convinced that this was in fact not just a hallucination.
Leaving aside the whole dying thing, this seems almost like a lottery!
And that brings us to the next matter at hand, who was this guy? And what happened to him?
Because something has honestly been annoying since I looked into the mirror. Where have I seen this guy before? I know that probably sounds absurd. But after the ridiculous day I've had, my tolerance for fantastical things has increased drastically.
So let's see, if this is anything like the isekai I've seen before- I have watched anime –then I should get memories of the previous host back in 3… 2… 1…
… Yep! Nothing. Honestly, I was kind of expecting that to work.
I sighed. "Then let's start investigating shall we?"
…
My investigation concluded really fast. Because not a minute after a phone- my phone –beeped a bell to notify that there were unread messages. Peeked by that, I grabbed it from the table it was on and opened it up.
The wallpaper of the lock screen was a picture of the body- Me –with a girl a few years older, and comparing their looks, they were probably siblings-
BLAM!
-and that was when I got a huge ass headache as a decade and a half worth of memories just jammed themselves into my tiny brain.
The smartphone slipped through my fingers as I kneeled on the floor in pain.
-"Megumi-chan!" said a gigantic woman with similar hair to myself, beckoning a baby version of me to crawl towards her.
-A few years pass. The bum that was my father leaves after the death of mother from an unknown illness. Leaving me alone to be cared for by my maternal grandparents.
-Grandpa and Grandma pass away. Leaving me like everyone else in my life. But fortunately- or unfortunately –my bum father comes back with a new wife but rather than taking responsibility he leaves another girl- who proclaims that she was my older sister –with me and just leaves after handing us a bank account number.
-The girl, Tsumiki, my older sister has grown on me. It's hard not to after noticing how kind and caring she is. Taking care of me and attending school to keep up with her education. She's truly a kind and great person. This makes me hate my bum father more, but Tsumiki says that hating someone isn't good so I resolve to just forget about him. Honestly, my life is perfect as long as Tsumiki is with me.
-Today, I met someone pretty weird when coming back from school. A white haired teenage boy wearing black glasses and a dark blue uniform. He asked some pretty weird questions too, about the things I can see, and about the bum father that I forgot about.
-I've come to learn that the boy I met before, Gojo Satoru, is a pretty big deal. He came to meet with us a few days later, revealing everything about Curses and Jujutsu Sorcerers, and how I was supposed to become one of them, even helping me use my Innate Cursed Technique for the time, summoning two cool black and white wolves. And despite Tsumiki's concerns, I agreed to his deal as this way we'll get some financial help and support from somebody. And soon Tsumiki and I were shifted to a pretty sizable and good Japanese house. With occasional visits from Gojo and his friend Shoko, our life was finally stable.
-Despite Gojo's big help, it didn't stop him from being annoying. It was honestly frustrating taking hours to learn something like basic Cursed Energy Control that he bragged of (truthfully) mastering when he was literally born. So Megumi concluded that while he was grateful and respected the Sorcerer, Megumi really didn't like Gojo Satoru. Though he was happy that he had managed to save a girl from a curse with his technique.
-Megumi goes with Tsumiki to observe stars and constellations, his awe evident at the celestial objects.
-A few years pass, with some occasional visits from Gojo. Both Megumi and Tsumiki were now in middle school. He had become kind of a delinquent, but one who beat up other delinquents. His special talents helped him a lot in keeping himself on top of the pile, making sure that there was no bullying or any kind of toxic environment for his sister. In a few months he would have to attend Jujutsu High, leaving his sister for the first time ever. But he knew that it was his responsibility, and he had to pay Gojo back for everything he had done for him and his sister.
-In a few days everything had gone to shit. Tsumiki had been cursed and entered a coma that none (not even Shoko or Gojo) could wake her up from. And it seems the only way to wake her up is to find the curse and exorcise it. With that, Megumi is sent to bed by Shoko. With thoughts of saving his sister somehow.
"AAAGHH!" I yelled in pain after the stream of memories stopped. Breathing heavily as the pain persisted in my brain.
Huff… Huff… Huff… "I never want to experience something like that ever again." I muttered as I lay back on the floor sweaty and tired.
It was like someone had poured hot iron directly into my brain.
Not a pleasant experience at all.
A few moments later, after I had managed to catch my breath, I sat back up. Leaning against the bed, I couldn't help but think about how crazy my life had become suddenly.
"Jujutsu Kaisen…" I chuckled until it turned into full blown laughter. "I'm in Jujutsu Kaisen of all places. And that too as Megumi…"
-I was happy until I suddenly wasn't.
Remembering the future that was my supposed "destiny" now, I couldn't help but be both resigned, enraged and slightly fearful.
Only slightly though.
"Fuck." I couldn't help but curse and thank the circumstances that had led me to wake up as Fushiguro Megumi of all people.
