I am.....

....V's pov Shibuya October 16, 2018 6:31 am Golden lotus hotel....

"Status." 

Looking across from the mirror of the bathroom, the blue screen flickered into existence in front of me. 

[Name: V (Stroheim)]

[ Race: human ]

[ Gender: male ]

[ Age: 12 ]

[ Inherited character: B-rank (V) ]

[ Stats ]

[Str: 10] D

[Con: 7 ] D

[Agi: 7 ] D

[Wis: 8 567(23)3432] #!$D3141

[Unassigned stat points: 0] 

Hah... this was a sight for sore eyes. Even Nue had higher stats then me. I guess it makes sense, I had essentially inherited the weaker half of an character. A strong character sure, but considering the fact that I was essentially holding my body together using magic, my stats were clearly not the greatest, anything bodywise at least. Dispelling my status window, and deciding opening my inventory I decided to check the status of my clothing, it had been severely damaged during the fight with Gojo after all, so I was wondering if it was wearable at the very least. 

"Inventory."

[1st slot: Isildur's bane Item rating (Mythical) (Cursed)] 

[2nd slot: Book of V item rating (Rare)]

[3rd slot: Royal Cane item rating (Common)]]

[4th slot: 1x bocco fruit item rating (Uncommon)] 

[5th slot: Fashionable hat (Common)] 

[6th slot: Damaged clothing(Common) ] 

[Empty] 

[Empty] 

[Empty] 

[Empty] 

Well, I did need clothes, but I didn't want to spend an outrageous amount of points to get them. I needed them to assist me in my plan to kill Gojo. 

[Fix damaged item (Common) for 20 points?]

[Y or N]

Sure, fine. 

[Remaining point total: 3380] 

I guess that's a reasonable amount of points to help with my plans, it did however depend on the cost of the items I was looking for. 

"System store." 

[Points: 7000]

[Weapons/Tools]

[Armor] 

[Medicine] 

[Misc] 

Selecting the [Misc] tab of the store, I searched for the item I was curious about. Lo, and behold, I found it. 

[1x Sukuna's finger (Unique) (Cursed)]

[Description: I wouldn't eat that.]

[Price: 4,000,000]] 

 The finger could hypothetically kill anyone if their body can't handle Sukuna's power. If it can, the body will gain a power boost. It makes sense that it would cost that much. Well, unfortunately I can't exactly afford this right now, so that plan is kinda cooked. 

Damn. I guess I have no other option. I needed to find the Orochimaru of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kenjaku. The man had remained undetected by jujutsu society for thousands of years, and I had to find him in under 15 days. Fortunately, I had a few ideas on how to do that. But first, I had to deal with the crazy bird lady. I could sense that Nue's anger had calmed down a bit due to our contract, instead being replaced with sadness. I... wasn't exactly the best at consoling people, especially women. Which is why I decided to pull a prank on jher in an attempt to cheer her up. 

.....timeskip 15 minutes later....

"Did you learn your lesson you godamn pervert?" 

"Yeah, I enjoyed every secon... *smack* Ow...." 

Provoking Nue was most likely not the best idea, but it got her mind off of whatever she was feeling sad about, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, it came at the expense of me getting my ass beat. Currently lying on the ground Nue standing above me angrily, I got to my feet and gained a serious expression. While Nue's punches, kicks, *Zaps*, and things of that nature hurt, they were essentially like taps on the shoulder, mainly because she was holding back,a lot.

"Trying to escape punishment are we? You da..." Nue trailed off as she sensed my current emotions through our contract. I was afraid, not of her of course, but at our current situation. I walked to the couch/sofa of the room, sat down, and observed the buzz of Shibuya through the window. Trailing behind me Nue did the same. A bit of time passed as we sat in silence.

"We have a whole lot to do and not a whole lot of time to do it." I broke silence the speaking in a calm tone. Nue stared at me, waiting for me to continue. 

"We have a deadline of about 15 days to complete the mission, as after that we will most likely die." We stood little to no chance during the culling games, which is why we had to finish Gojo quickly. Nue now understanding the urgency of the situation, as well as feeling my anxiety through our contract spoke up.

"You have a plan right?" she spoke softly trying to calm me down.

"Yes, but there is a high chance we will die during it." I was worried what she would think about this. A silence enveloped the room before Nue turned to look at me.

"Look me in the eyes." was all she said breaking the silence. I avoided her gaze, looking down. I had already put her in danger due to my actions during our brief conflict with Gojo. I hated how weak I was, I relied far too much on my knowledge of the worlds inside of the tower. What would happen if we encountered a request in a world in which I knew nothing about? I knew the answer, even if I didn't like it. I knew I was in over my head by a long shot, but I also knew I had no choice. Maybe I should just give up? 

*Slap* 

Nue slapped my face snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"Who the fuck are you?" Nue's angered voice echoed throughout the room as I finally made eye contact with her, noticing complex look emerging on her face as she stared at me back. Before her face grew determined. 

"Why are you giving up already? We haven't even done anything yet!" I guess Nue must have felt my despair through our contract, she looked Pissed. I didn't respond and looked down once more. I was scared, tired, and frankly I wasn't even sure what I was doing here anymore. To get back at my new family? Not really, they may be assholes, but they hadn't exactly interacted with me all that much. Returning to my old world? I wasn't even sure that was possible, nor was I sure that I even wanted to in the first place. So what was I doing? I had no friends, no real entertainment in this new world, and I was trapped in a death tower, that in which any slight mistake might kill me.

"Stop.... *sniffle* please...." I saw Nue looking at me teary eyed, with a mix of anger and sadness evident in her beautiful face.

"Don't give up.... I don't want you to leave me alone...." Nue revealed her feelings while looking at me sadness enveloping her form. I could sense her fear and sadness through our contract and suddenly I felt terrible. Ahhh..... I get it now. I actually did have a reason to keep going. 

I moved towards Nue and gave her a hug. 

"Sorry Nue, I wasn't in the right state of mind." I spoke to Nue softly as I waited for her to settle down. 

Well, even if I hadn't known her for that long, I guess I had somebody who depended on me now, Tht means I can't give up yet. I opened my mouth once again.

"Alright then, if were going to do this, I'm going to need your help, We'll you continue to help this dumbass partner of yours?" I spoke in a confident tone as Nue looked up to me with red eyes and a runny nose. I saw in her eyes that she trusted me, most likely sensing my regained confidence through our contract. 

She nodded before speaking again. 

"....You better not tell anyone about this.... you bastard." in a scary tone Nue looked up at me with a small smile.

I smiled at her back. Devils really did cry after all...unfortunately it was a cute girl and I was the cause... but let's not mention that to anyone. 

"Alright then, let's get started." time was slipping away after all. 

...Gojo pov Shibuya October 16, 2018 9:20 am Abandoned park...

Well this is interesting. After studying the area surrounding the place where those people had appeared last night, I concluded that I had zero idea as to how or why they had arrived here. Of course, after capturing a few of them and interrogating them in order to discover exactly how they had got here, they kept saying they had arrived using a cursed technique. 

However, this was impossible as none of them had cursed energy, the black haired man had something similar, but in essence it was not the same. That was another topic I had brought up during my interrogations. Who was the black haired man, and why could he disappear like that? I got no answer. It was like none of them knew each other, even though they were supposed to be a band of bounty hunters targeting my life.

I didn't believe that malarkey for a minute, but apparently they did. I even pressured them a little bit, but I never got the truth. Which meant that either these guys were extremely loyal to each other, or something else was at work here. I was thinking more towards the latter. 

I had of course, told the black haired guy that everyone had died in an attempt to get him to give up, but this was a lie. The smarter ones of his group escaped, but I wasn't worried. Out of about 30 weaklings, 6 including the black haired man and his female companion remained. 

I would find them, as well as the details of their plan very soon, I am the strongest after all. 

....Shibuya October 20th, 2018 8:00 pm Golden lotus hotel V's pov.....

"Well, I think we're currently in a pretty good position." I remarked as I laid on the couch lazily, Nue snuggling up next to me. 

I had come up with a plan to defeat Gojo, and now all I had to do was find Kenjaku. The plan was simple, I came up with it 2 days ago while in the shower. Now, Nue is half nightmare demon, half shapeshifting waifu.

*Smack*

"....What the hell was that for?"

"You were thinking something rude you bastard." 

I can't tell if it was because of our contract or some other bizarre reason, but Nue always seems to know when I insult her in my head. The fabled "Women's intuition" perhaps? 

This plan, involved abusing the nightmare sighed of Nue's powers.

I called it the 'Tsukuyomi' plan. Not to be confused with Madara's plan, mine was to use Nue as an actual nightmare, in order to trap Gojo in a dream. As dreams have no substance like Griffon said, it should be able to bypass infinity. So that's what me and Nue have been up to the past few days, going around and practicing the technique on innocent delinquents who did nothing wrong. Eventually the technique developed to the point in which I believed was satisfactory. Would it be enough to keep Gojo entrapped? I hope so, if not the plan will completely fail. 

I decided to trust Nue with it, mainly because if I didn't she would beat my ass. I would like to say we had grown a little closer over the past few days, but I wasn't sure. I had never been great with relationships in the first place. I did know I could trust her though. Alright I'm bored, I would go out searching for Kenjaku Tomorrow, for now though, I was gonna play a game with Nue.

"Hey Nue let's play rock paper scissors." I spoke in a devilish tone before getting up off the couch and standing across from where Nue was still lying. Nue stood up and stood across from me. 

"How do you play?" Nue asked looking at me curiously. 

Displaying the hand signs associated with the game, I happily responded. 

"This is rock, it beats scissors, this is scissors, it beats paper, and this is paper, it beats rock. We count down from thre to one, and both"

"How does a piece of paper beat a rock?" Nue questioned with a serious look on her face.

"Does it really matter?" I responded. 

"Yes, otherwise there would be no point in playing this game, after all if the rules don't make sense what is the point of playing the game?" Nue responded seriously once again.

"To have fun, you dumb bird." I responded lightheartedly, but Nue took it very seriously. 

"Why would you play a game if not to win? You are the dumbass not me." Nue responded angrily. 

"Fine, fine fine, can we just play the game already?" 

Nue nodded and got into playing position, while I did the same. Uh.... why did she look like she was preparing for a fight to the death.

"On 3."

""3""

""2""

""1!""

As we both shouted one, I decided to go with paper. Nue chose rock, meaning that I won.

"Looks like I win then huh?" I said smirking as I looked at the now red faced Nue.

"You must have cheated! There is no way I'd have lost to the likes of you!" Nue yelled before speaking up once again.

"I demand a rematch!"

"Daga Kotowaru."

I proceeded to walk towards the bed ignoring the fuming Nue behind me that was demanding a rematch. I had a long day tomorrow, so I was going to go to sleep early in order to rest up.

At least I was able to get my problems out of my mind before bed. 

"Goodnight Nue."

"Goodnight idiot."
