Author's Note: This story is based on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, which has some variations from the anime. If you find any discrepancies in the dialogues or scenarios, I invite you to research how it was in the manga. It's a story of short chapters, as I find it unnecessary to be a detailed episode (I don't know how to write long chapters).

I apologize if there are grammatical errors, I write in Spanish and translate it into English.

"Volcano head!" Itadori barely had time to react when he saw a fist wrapped in flames heading towards his face. He covered himself with his arm, but could not avoid the blunt impact and the scorching heat of the blow.

Boom

The explosion threw him through the air, shattering the glass of the nearby buildings. He went through a concrete wall as if it were paper. Jogo followed him at full speed, leaving a trail of fire in his wake.

Itadori turned in the air, trying to orient himself. He expelled flames from his back, like rocket boosters, managing to slow down his fall and land on the ground, though not without difficulty. He slid several meters along the scorched asphalt, raising sparks.

He looked up and saw Jogo land in front of him, with a look of arrogance and contempt. Itadori stood up, with an expression of determination. 'Today I will show him what I am worth', he thought, preparing for the next confrontation.

This battle was personal for Itadori, knowing that the curse in front of him, at one point, was what made him doubt his own strength.

"What are you looking at, kid?" Jogo asked him, mocking him. "Do you think that because I was defeated by your master I am weak?" He added, with a tone of anger. "I'm going to show you what the true power of the flames is". And then, he disappeared from sight.

Itadori opened his eyes in surprise. He could not follow Jogo's movement, who had appeared in front of him in an instant. "Don't overestimate yourself" The curse said, before giving him a punch in the stomach that made him double over in pain. Then, he grabbed him by the neck and threw him with force, like a rag doll. Itadori flew again, this time going through three buildings in a row, until he fell on an empty street where he bounced until a billboard stopped him.

As Itadori regained his breath, leaning on the billboard, Jogo reappeared in front of him, crouching in front of him. "You're quite resilient" He said with a malicious smile, seeing how Itadori's wounds regenerated at high speed. "But that won't do you any good. Your flames are weak compared to mine"

"Your" Itadori muttered slowly, making Jogo lean his ear to Itadori, intrigued. "What are you saying?" The curse asked.

"Your… Mom" Itadori finished, taking Jogo by the head and opening his mouth and shooting a jet of fire from his throat, like a dragon. Jogo, surprised, closed his eyes by instinct.

Taking advantage of that moment, Itadori changed the position of his hands, now positioned on Jogo's chest, throwing the hottest flames he could. The

The teenager stood up slowly, his body finishing regenerating. He looked at his pants, which now looked more like shorts, and regretted it. "Shit…" He muttered, before getting on guard. "Let's continue" He said cracking his neck.

Jogo, who had fallen on a roof, got up furious. His body was full of burns, and his pride wounded. "Damn kid, I'm going to make you pay for this" He growled, before throwing himself at Itadori with a flying kick.

Itadori ducked to dodge the kick, and took the opportunity to take Jogo's leg and slam him to the ground. Then, he stomped on him with all his strength, but Jogo pushed himself to the side with his flames, avoiding the blow.

Jogo, recovering quickly, threw a series of flames at Itadori. Itadori, however, showed his agility by dodging the flames and throwing himself at Jogo. But Jogo, with a smile on his face, disappeared in an instant, leaving Itadori hitting the air.

Reappearing behind Itadori, Jogo threw a quick punch. Itadori, surprised, barely had time to block the punch with his arm. Taking advantage of the opening, Jogo threw a series of quick punches, forcing Itadori to retreat.

Itadori, despite being on the defensive, did not show discouragement. With a quick movement, he managed to grab Jogo's fist and threw a punch at his stomach. Jogo, however, recovered quickly and counterattacked with a high kick.

The battle continued, with both opponents exchanging blows and dodging each other's attacks. Although Itadori managed to land some hits, Jogo seemed to have an advantage. Every time Itadori tried to launch an attack, Jogo always seemed to be one step ahead.

Finally, after a series of intense exchanges, Jogo managed to land a direct hit on Itadori, sending him flying backwards, crashing into a building.

"You are weak!" Jogo shouted, walking towards an Itadori who was getting up "Your fire is weak!" He shouted again.

Jogo was in a hunched posture and with his arms hanging. A smile of contempt was drawn on his face. "Surrender, and I will grant you a quick death" he said with a tone of superiority.

Itadori returned a smile that puzzled the curse. "You can't kill me" the boy said, with an expression of confidence on his face.

'Does he know?' the curse wondered. "Oh, yeah? And why" he inquired, hoping to confirm his suspicion.

"Simple…" the boy replied, adjusting his combat posture. "You don't have enough power to do it" Itadori finished, a smile forming on his face.

Jogo's face changed quickly, his arrogant smile and serene thinking vanished, all replaced by anger, or rather, fire.

"Brat…" The curse growled with a tone of voice that resonated with a palpable threat. "I'LL KILL YOU!" he shouted with a frenzied fury, as his head burst into flames, illuminating the darkness with a fierce glow.

After shouting, Jogo, with an expression of malevolent satisfaction, summoned some weird bugs that emerged from nowhere. These bugs, which looked like mosquitoes, surprised the boy. 'Mosquitoes?' He wondered by the resemblance, but he didn't have much time to think, as they accelerated at high speed towards him, buzzing with an intensity that foreshadowed danger.

Itadori, having the feeling that he shouldn't let them touch him, flew into the sky, using his fire to propel himself. "How disgusting!" He shouted, seeing how the bugs still chased him, without losing his trail. Below, Jogo was laughing on the ground, enjoying the show.

Itadori continued to ascend to the top of a building, the bugs following him closely with obsession. Upon reaching the top of the building, he threw a fireball at his previous position, hitting 1 of the 5 mosquitoes. The impact was followed by a small explosion, and the mosquito fell to the ground, smoking.

"There are 4 left!" He shouted as he ran across the building, jumping into the void, looking for a place to hide or counterattack. The remaining mosquitoes followed his same direction, but having a clear view of the pink-haired boy, a red ray suddenly pierced one of the bugs, moving and destroying 2 more.

"There is 1 left!" Itadori shouted, his palms extended and joined like a certain technique. 'Thank you Kamo' The boy thanked, taking the idea of Blood piercing.

CHK CHK CHK CHK

The snap of the bug approaching at high speed sounded. The sound intensified, filling the air with a sense of imminent danger.

'I'll destroy this one head-on!' The boy thought, seeing the bug approaching at high speed, his flaming fist approaching, about to touch it.

"Arrogant brat" Two beings said at the same time, seeing the boy's action, before his decision exploded in his face, literally.

A fire explosion erupted in the air, cracking the glass of the farthest buildings and breaking the closest ones, a body fell quickly to the ground, wrapped in dust and ash.

"My grandfather always told me that I shouldn't touch the bugs…" Itadori murmured, his body planted on the ground and his arms spread out, as if he were making a snow angel.

"Why did you take so long…?" Itadori murmured, his gaze lost in the starry sky. The view was incredible, one of the few good things about this night. "…Old man" He finished, turning his head to see an old man with a bottle in his hand, his face illuminated by the moonlight.

"Well, you were flying all over the city, you know?" The old man replied with a hoarse laugh. "The others will arrive in a while." He explained. Itadori nodded as he got up, his body sore but determined, waiting for his companions.

Jogo landed in front of them with a dull thud, his imposing presence filling the space. He observed the new person for a moment, his cold and calculating gaze. "The ants will still be ants no matter the quantity" He spoke with disdain, walking towards them with an arrogant confidence.

The two sorcerers did not answer. One of them, Itadori, squeezed his new hand, surprised by the feeling of having it back. The other, the old man, looked inside his bottle, clicking his tongue when he noticed it was empty.

"Grrrr" Jogo growled angrily at being ignored. "Don't ignore me!" He shouted, the volcano on his head erupting in a fury.

"Yeah yeah yeah, we'll take care of you" Itadori replied, sighing and getting into his fighting stance again. "Come on, old man" He called, Naobito clicked his tongue again, imitating Itadori.

The air was filled with tension, two high-ranking sorcerers facing the representation of a great fear. A sign, which had been hanging for a long time due to the destruction of the city, began to fall slowly.

Itadori moved his foot forward, preparing for the attack.

Naobito brought his hands closer, ready to cast a spell.

Jogo swung forward, his body ready for combat.

CRASH

The sound of the sign's impact echoed in the air, a thunder that seemed to mark the beginning of something new. And in an instant, the three beings, each with their own dominant presence, disappeared from sight.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Did you like the fight? I felt that I should show a little bit of Jogo's superiority over Itadori, he was very underestimated in the original story, seriously, they should give him a prize for the biggest balls in the manga.

Tomorrow or the day after chapter so they don't insult me xd.

Give me power stones.
