Ch. 2 Plans and timeskip

Keiko's P.O.V.

I have been reborn in JJK. I have confirmed it to be so in my data gathering after hearing my maid talk to me. Mieruko happens to be named after a certain ghost-seeing girl. She doesn't look like that in the anime either, so it isn't some alternate universe.

This Gojo family I am in is a branch family of the Gojo Clan.

My father, Gojo Haruki, is Gojo Satoru's uncle from his great-grandfather's side. My father is currently one of the guardians of the young master, but he is still not allowed to leave the clan. Especially since there has been an increasing bounty on his head. So I can understand my father being mostly absent. I have only really seen him once, and that was the only time my mother has talked about him.

My mother, Gojo Sayori, is married to the clan. She isn't really being abused or anything, but she just isn't comfortable here. The clan understands her apprehension, but they can't just kick her out and let her live outside of the clan. So my mother and the Gojo clan had an unspoken agreement that they wouldn't force her to do anything, while she could help the clan if she wanted to.

My parents, despite not meeting much after my birth, are pretty much in love with each other. While my mother smiles around me, her joy seems to increase when my father is around. Which is how I found out they meet at night after his shifts. I'm usually asleep then. And I only caught him once when he visited me at night and I happened to be awake. I wanted to be close to my new family just like I was in my past one, but fate isn't on my side this time. Curse my baby body!

Speaking of me, I seem to be growing like an ordinary child. I thought children in JJK would grow more because of curse energy, but it seems to be my headcannon. I seem to have inherited the Gojo silver hair while also having my mother's purple eyes. I also look cute and resemble my mother a lot, according to Mieruko.

Aside from reveling in my future prospective beauty, since I can't really do anything, I have been cooking up a plan. I wanted to stop Kenjaku from succeeding in his plan to bring back the golden era.

I'm not that heroic or anything, but chaos of that magnitude... I just can't think of a way to live and experience such a time. So I'm hoping to keep this society as orderly as possible.

Satoru planned on changing this society in the future, so I'm going to support him somehow. But behind the scenes,. Because I know Kenjaku has a big sway with the higher-ups, considering his long lifespan.

How I'm going to do it is still not final; I have yet to find out my curse technique. I'll have a clearer picture then.

For now, I'm gathering as much data on my body and curse technique as I can. In my almost 1 year in this world, I have not met any god, devil, angel, etc. So I am still in the dark about what I'm really doing here. It could just be Buddhism or Hinduism. Buddhism is most likely since this is a JJK world.

I don't know if I was born with cheats, but I sure hope so. I know I'll need it to survive this world. I have read JJK in my past life and only got to the first chapter of Sukuna vs. Gojo before I died. But I have read a lot of fanfiction as well. There are a lot of nice curse techniques there.

Feeling my curse energy, it was rather small, or maybe I'm just a baby. Curse techniques manifest at the age of 4, after all, so I might not have reached the capacity limit yet as a child.

Since I know my parents' curse techniques, I might just test if I had inherited them.

My mother had a curse technique she called "holding," which allowed her to hold anything and know a lot about it. For example, when she holds a knife, she learns how to use it for cooking or killing. It's pretty overpowered in theory. It's also possible she could hold onto elements like fire or air, but she seems to not be able to do it. Maybe it's a limitation or an understanding issue. Like how Sukuna can use Yue better than Megumi.

My father's technique is still unknown to me, so I plan to talk to him when I finally can. I have inherited my knowledge from my past life, but my baby body still can't speak well. An adaptation issue I plan to fix. It might be weird for a baby to be advanced in talking, walking, and the like. But the sooner I can do it, the more time I can spend getting the chance to advance my learning.

Luckily, I'm only going to be homeschooled (clanschooled?) So I don't have to feel awkward pretending to be a child around other children. That would've been a nightmare.

•~~~~~~~•

So I spent my 4 years trying to advance my development as fast as I could while also planning my approach to this world.

I have been testing if I had my mother's technique all this time, but it has yet to manifest. I also did so with my father's after I learned what it was.

I have somewhat succeeded in a fast development, which surprised the clan and called me a natural prodigy. Sometimes being compared to Satoru himself. Which interested him enough to visit me with my father in tow.

I thought he would figure out I'm a reincarnate since he can see souls, like knowing Kenjaku was in Geto's body in Shibuya. But to my surprise and relief, it seems I didn't replace the soul of a child that should have been born in my place. This cemented my theory of reincarnation, not transmigration.

With my quick development, my father was allowed to be with me. Satoru was there as well, but he's usually just training his curse energy control and his blue at the time. Just a few more years until his first year.

I was able to hear Satoru say that I might inherit my father's technique, which was "breathing." And yes, it was indeed very similar to demon slayer, except you can actually see the elements of the forms he's using.

He can theoretically use all forms, but his body could only handle water and it's derivative forms: flower, insect, and snake breathing. Which was actually quite OP. But that was my opinion.

Well, as a 4-year-old who has yet to unlock my technique, I have been pretty restless. I couldn't wait to get mine. I don't really know how curse techniques manifest, but from what I know, it just comes to you naturally.

"Little lady, will you let me in?" Mieruko then entered the room. She is my usual companion and teacher. Ever since I was "taught" to read and write, she has been monitoring my progress.

Thanks to my advanced development, I have been able to speedrun my knowledge training and memory retention. I heard it helps to learn when young in my past life because a child's mind is more receptive to knowledge. It has been true so far.

I have noticed that I have a better memory than in my past life; whether that is my latent technique or just a natural child's ability, I don't know. But it is quite helpful in my plans.

"Hello, Mieruko. What is our lesson today?" I asked.

"Well, we are to learn about fractions today. So better be prepared! This will boggle your mind!" It, in fact, didn't boggle my mind.

She has been trying hard to make me a normal child, and it seems that if I get stuck on something, she can propose that I be with other children. But since my growth is excessively large, the clan thinks doing so will stunt my growth. I can understand the worry, but I can't just play house when the fate of the world and my future peace are at stake.

Hopefully my technique will be good enough to help me against this dangerous brain, Kenjaku.

Ch. 2 end

How has the story been so far? I'll be happy if you guys can suggest corrections or ideas. I am just a fledgling author.

I have done my best to portray a somewhat realistic MC; I'm not a genius, so I can't portray her as such.

I hope the story has been great. About my original creation, it's currently on hiatus. I realized that my capability as an author is not yet as good as I hope to be, so I'm making fanfics for now to figure out how I can make that an enjoyable fic.

The next chapter will be about her curse technique. I hope you like it.
