#nanami and rinko

[siriuslysatorusimping]

What is Kurisaki Rinko to you?

I DID IT. I WROTE IT. I FOUND SOME INSPIRATION FAIRIES AND KNOCKED THIS OUT. THANK YOU TO THE ANON WHO ASKED THIS QUESTION.

Pre-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He raised his eyebrows at the question.

“Huh?” he asked, grasping his chin lightly. “Kurisaki-chan? Strong sorcerer. Lives up to the Special Grade 1 rank easily. Great person. Probably the best person I know, actually. She looks out for the people she cares about, especially her students. Best teacher Kyoto ever had.” He smirked slightly. “One of the only people to catch me by surprise, land a hit. A menace, really. A good friend. One- my best friend. She’s my best friend.”

Nanami Kento

A deep sigh escaped his lips, his brow furrowed in clear irritation.

“Annoying,” he replied, his monotone voice almost sounding amused. “But I trust her. She’s stronger than she thinks she is, and I would trust her with my life. She’s also one of the only jujutsu sorcerers I respect, even though she’s probably crazier than most. She’s also an incredible teacher. Her students have always loved her. I got to see that first-hand.” He cleared his throat, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth. “And a dear friend. She’s a very dear friend.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He scowled at the question, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

“A lot of people think you could pass for being her kid since you look similar-”

“She’s not my mom,” he snapped, his scowl deepening. “She’s my cousin. She’s taught me a lot—more than Gojo-sensei has. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Maki

Her eyes narrowed at the question before she shrugged.

“We’re related,” she stated. “She took me in when I ran away from my shit family. She’s done a lot for me. Helped me in more ways than I can say.” The teen gripped the kendo sword in her hands tightly. “She’s taught me more than anyone else. Not just about being a jujutsu sorcerer, either. She’s a great teacher.”

Zenin Mai

Suspicion filled the girl’s expression for a moment.

“Why do you wanna know?” she asked, crossing her arms defensively. “She’s- we’re distantly related. She taught me when she was at Kyoto Tech. And-” she trailed off, a frown pulling at her lips, “she’s looked out for me. Always tries to make sure to check in on me. She cares. She’s a great- she’s the best teacher I’ve ever had.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

“Rinko-san is amazing!”

They’d barely finished the question before the teenager answered, sounding overly enthusiastic.

“She’s really kind,” he continued excitedly. “She always checks on me to ask me how I’m doing. She’s strong enough to trick Gojo-sensei. She landed a hit on him, which I haven’t really seen anyone else do before. She’s a great teacher, too. I learned a lot from her about cursed energy when she taught us last year.”

Inumaki Toge

He grinned widely, shrugging.

“Tuna mayo,” he stated.

“Is- that good?”

“Salmon,” he replied, his grin widening. “Tuna mayo.”

Itadori Yuuji

He shrugged slightly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“I- don’t know Rinko-san that well,” he admitted. “But Nanamin respects her a lot. Gojo-sensei likes her, too. Fushiguro won’t admit it, but he kinda drifts towards her when she’s around. She’s really nice. One of the nicest people I’ve met besides Gojo-sensei. And she’s a really good teacher. Fushiguro and Zenin-san learned from her, I think.”

Kugisaki Nobara

The girl shrugged absently.

“I don’t really know her that well,” she admitted, tilting her head to the side. “She seems cool. Maki-san likes her a lot. She does spend a lot of time with that blindfolded idiot, though. But she’s a good teacher, from what Maki-san says.”

Todo Aoi

The boy smirked easily, chuckling under his breath.

“A strong sorcerer,” he asserted. “One of the strongest you’ll meet, though she doesn’t see it that way. She- she’ll do anything to protect the people she cares about, especially us. Kurisaki-sensei is an incredible teacher.”

Post-Shibuya

Gojo Satoru

He squinted at them, scowling at the question.

“You mean Gojo Rinko?” he asked, his scowl growing when they just shrugged. “I convinced her to marry me, ya know. I’m her husband-”

“Fine,” they sighed, exasperated. “What is Gojo Rinko to you?”

A smug grin pulled at his lips now.

“My best friend,” he declared proudly. “The strongest woman I’ve ever known. The only person who puts up with me without complaining.” He paused, his grin widening until he looked like a dopey puppy. “The love of my life. She’s the most incredible person I know, and I- wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her. She’s the most important person in my life.”

Fushiguro Megumi

He cleared his throat uncomfortably, shuffling his feet.

“She’s- my cousin." He rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. “She- she’s always been there for me. One of- one of the most important people in my life. I- I don’t know if I’d be here if it weren’t for her.”

Zenin Maki

She gave a nonchalant shrug, looking bored.

“My cousin,” she replied easily, staring at them calmly. “She’s taught me a lot. Took me in when I needed to get away from the clan. Always-” the teen paused, releasing a quiet sigh, “never- got upset with me when I was angry. And- she really tried to look out for me and my sister. One of the most important people in my life.”

Okkotsu Yuuta

His brow furrowed slightly as he thought.

“Rinko-san is one of the strongest people I know,” he stated firmly, nodding to himself. “She cares a lot about all of us, too. Looks out for us so much, making sure we’re all okay. Even though she knows we can take care of ourselves, she checks on us and makes sure we’re okay. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Inumaki Toge

“Tuna mayo!” he exclaimed, grinning widely.

“That’s- that’s still a good thing, right?”

“Salmon!”

“Can I get some of those flashcards you gave her-?”

Itadori Yuuji

“She’s our new Principal,” he stated, smiling slightly. “She was someone Nanamin had a lot of respect for, and she clearly cared about him, too. She’s really strong, but she pushes herself too much. I think- I think she does it for us. To try to protect us. She and Gojo-sensei are really similar in that way. She cares about us a lot. She- I don’t remember my mom, but she kinda reminds me of a mom. She’s become one of the most important people in my life.”

Kugisaki Nobara

She gave a careless shrug.

“I honestly still don’t know her all that well,” the girl admitted. “But she’s really strong. Special Grade 1’s aren’t really something to mess with. She’s our new Principal, and she’s doing a really good job so far. I don’t think there could have been a better choice for it. She still spends too much time with that blindfolded idiot, though. Can’t believe she decided to marry a guy like him, but they seem happy I guess?”

Ino Takuma

He rubbed the back of his neck.

“I, ah, don’t know Kurisaki-san that well,” he admitted uneasily.

Gojo Satoru’s voice chimed from somewhere in the distance, “It’s Gojo Rinko now-!”

“But Nanami-san had a lot of respect for her, and they were really good friends.” Ino swallowed thickly. “She- asked me to teach here at Tokyo Tech after she became the Principal. She said Nanami-san would approve, that he’d be proud to see me helping the next generation of sorcerers. She’s- a really kind person. I’m grateful she decided to give me this chance.”

You can take Toge's responses from my cold, dead hands.

Did you guys like the two different themes? I thought it'd be cool to have the pre-Shibuya version focused on them saying she's a good teacher, and then the post-Shibuya version talking about how she's important in their lives 🥹 Notice how Gojo and Megumi said they wouldn't be here without her 🥺🥺

It's also official, Ino will be the new first-year teacher at Tokyo Tech 😊

[girls-band-headcanons]

The universe of Bandori has a higher rate of autism and other kinds of neurodiversity than the real world.

Tae, Moca, Eve, Aya, Maya, Hina, Ako, Rinko, Nanami, Mashiro, Rokka and Tomori are all on the spectrum in one way or another.

Kasumi, Moca, Maya, Hina, Ako, Hagumi, Kokoro, and Chu2 could all have some form of ADHD or ADD.

The reason that a lot of wacky stuff occurs compared to the real world, is that people with ND traits affect the world more, and I mean this in a good way. An example of a thing that only occurs in Bandori is a billionaire girl who cincerely wants to make the world smile. Real billionaires don't work like that :P

Bang Dream x gn!reader

✧troupes they'd be

✧fluff & bit of angst

Sunshine & Sunshine Protector.

No matter the roles, it is most definitely is wholesome as you can get. It's always so sweet to see the two of you together! You both love each other and honestly it's always the highlight of your days when you end up seeing each other. No matter who's smiling, the other will soon be smiling as well.

-Sunshine: Kokoro, Hagumi, Hina, Kasumi -Sunshine Protector: Misaki, Tomoe, Masuki, Arisa

Long Distance Relationship

No matter the distance, she loves and supports you while you do the same. It really means a lot to her whether it be because you give her confidence in her abilities or just because she finally has someone that she loves, it really means a lot! She would give anything just to see you and finally hug you.

-Toko, Tsukushi, Rinko, Ako, Reona, Maya

Rivals to Lovers

It's all about outdoing you. Doesn't matter what you're doing, she's gotta be better. Or maybe it's one-sided? Maybe she doesn't particularly care about the rivalry and simply goes along with it because she gets to see you.. Whatever the case may be, it's a competition and you're sure you'll win it.

-Ran, Aya, Yukina, Sayo, Chiyu

Unrequited Love

She doesn't reciprocate your feelings. She only sees you as a friend or if you're really unlucky, she doesn't even see you as a friend. It's heartbreaking. You can't let go of your feelings. Not after holding onto them for so long just to have them broken into a million pieces by her answer.

-Moca, Chisato, Rui, Nanami

Let Me Know You (Another Level - Installment 3)

Summary:

“Because I wanted someone who is tolerable for more than five minutes,” Nanami snapped, adjusting his tinted glasses. “And who will take this seriously instead of treating it like a game.” “I’m offended,” Gojo lamented, his hand going to his chest. Rinko pushed herself to her feet, fighting the slight smirk as she listened to them bicker. “I take our job very seriously-” “Alright, kids,” she interjected. She held her hand out for the car keys, which Yaga tossed to her without question. “You can fight when Dad isn’t watching later, but for now, behave. Nanami, let’s get going. It’s a bit of a drive, and I’d hate to have you working overtime.” - “You don’t even know me,” she finally whispered. It was the one thing that had been nagging her since he’d first offered hours before. “You know bits about my technique and that I’m a Zenin mistake. But technically, because of my sealed records, that could be a lie.” “Let me know you, then,” Gojo said, a small smile on his face as he spoke so calmly. It was almost as if he’d asked what she thought of the weather.

AN: Say 'hi' to Nanami, everyone 👀 I decided to combine Let Me Know You into one part instead of two, btw.

<- Prev - Teasing and Techniques: Part 2 | Another Level Masterlist | Kiko's Masterlist | Next - Semi-Grade ->

Let Me Know You 2010

“Kurisaki-chaaaan,” Gojo’s voice sang, causing her to turn slowly, raising an eyebrow. “Kuuurisaaaaki-chaaaan.”

“Gojo,” she replied easily, watching a grin appear on his face as she spoke. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I should be asking you that,” he stated, his long legs reaching her in a few strides. “You’re the one so far away from home. What are you doing in Tokyo?”

He leaned down so his face was level with hers, his bandages doing little to hide that he was assessing her shamelessly.

“Came all the way to see me?” he asked cheekily, his grin growing. “You shouldn’t have.”

This time, it had only been a few months since she’d last seen him, but she was genuinely surprised. While her knowledge of his activity was limited, she did know he was frequently out on exorcisms. Being the only active Special Grade - and quite literally the strongest in the world - meant he was in high demand.

Whatever their last encounter was, it had been interesting. He’d fulfilled his promise to ruin her thoroughly, barely allowing her any time to rest between rounds. She’d been sore for days afterward, but it had been a satisfying soreness that left her feeling warmer inside when she remembered the reason.

It seemed that rumors about Gojo Satoru were rarely wrong.

Before she’d left his hotel the following morning, he’d given her an absolutely sinful kiss - full of the promise of even more ruin - and told her that he’d see her again soon.

Pressing her against the wall beside the door, clearly reluctant to let her go. He took his time exploring her mouth with his tongue as if he hadn’t spent hours learning every inch of her inside and out.

“You sure you gotta go so soon?” he asked against her lips, smiling smugly when she moaned as he palmed her breast through her shirt. “You could stay here and-”

“I have to work,” she’d insisted, wrenching her lips away from his. “And so do you. I’m sure you need to get back.”

Feeling smug herself, she smirked up at him when he pouted at her.

“It was fun, though,” she said, still feeling breathless. “Maybe we can do it again sometime.”

His eyes darkened at her words, pressing his hips against hers and grinding. The hard line of his cock told her she needed to leave quickly before he held her up any longer.

“Oh, sweetheart,” he whispered into her ear. “It’s more than a maybe. I’ll be seeing you soon.”

She’d somehow been able to detangle herself shortly after, tossing him a wink as she’d closed his hotel door behind her and headed home to shower before work.

“You’d love that, wouldn’t you?” she teased now as she turned to keep walking. “I’m actually here for work. On request from Yaga.”

“He didn’t tell me about that,” Gojo remarked, following behind her. “Strange.”

“Not surprising,” she said dismissively. “It doesn’t concern you.”

“Don’t be like that, Rinko-chan-”

“Kurisaki,” she corrected, giving him a hard look. She didn’t know what they were. Friends? They’d passed acquaintances at this point. Still, she didn’t feel comfortable with him acting so casual with her in public, especially not at work. “Gojo, don’t you have better things to do than to worry about a Grade 2 like me?”

That made him pull up short. He stopped following her, and she chose to keep walking until he grabbed her forearm.

“You’re still only a Grade 2?” he asked, his voice low. “You’re joking. You’re a Semi-Grade 1 at least.”

“Take a guess,” she stated flatly, ignoring how his hand tightened. “Take one single guess as to why-”

“Zenin,” he deduced, voice still quiet. “Huh. Guess I should have known.”

Nodding, she freed her arm, turning away to continue to Yaga’s office.

“I could help with that,” he offered, catching up again easily. “Put in a word. They don’t deny me very often-”

“No thanks,” she cut him off. “While I appreciate the offer, I’m fine with where I am. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I don’t want to be late.”

She left him in the hallway, staring after her as she entered Yaga’s office.

Nanami Kento’s head turned to meet her gaze briefly. His frown shrank briefly before it grew to a scowl as his eyes shifted to glare at something over her shoulder. Without looking, she knew Gojo had followed her inside.

“Gojo-san,” Nanami greeted coldly. “I don’t recall you being invited to this meeting.”

“Nanamin,” Gojo’s loud voice was just next to her ear. “You wound me-”

“Don’t call me that,” Nanami snapped, his jaw clenching. Rinko couldn’t help but conceal a small smile. “Kurisaki-san and I have things to discuss with Yaga.”

“I’ll be as quiet as a mouse,” Gojo countered, plopping down into a chair and folding his hands in his lap.

“Ignore him,” Yaga said, sounding tired. “Focus on the task at hand.” He turned his attention to Rinko. “Kurisaki, thank you for coming all this way. I asked for you because I think you’re well-suited to assist Nanami. He’s still adjusting to being back in the swing of things.”

“Seems a bit overkill to have someone accompany a Grade 1,” she noted, raising her eyebrows. Nanami had been a Grade 1 since his last year in school. “On top of that, wouldn’t another Grade 1 be better suited to-”

“There was one other option,” Yaga said. Lifting one of his own eyebrows, he left her to discern what he meant. Nanami scowled at Gojo when he pouted dramatically. “I’ll be honest with you, Rinko. While you’re an excellent fit for this, you weren’t my first choice. Utahime was unavailable and suggested you.”

She knew. Hime had told her as soon as she’d gotten off the phone with Yaga.

“All the others are busy,” Rinko replied, smiling self-deprecatingly. “I understand. I don’t take it personally.”

Nodding, he let out a small sigh of relief.

“It should be textbook. Simple,” he continued, pulling the file out and handing it over. “An abandoned hospital on the outskirts of Asakusa. Three teenagers went missing last week while trespassing for a dare.”

“Are we assuming them dead or alive?” she asked, opening the file and flipping through it. “Is this retrieval or simple exorcism and move on?”

“Use your best judgment, both of you,” Yaga replied, watching her closely. “But the end decision should be Nanami’s since this is his job.”

As soon as she nodded her agreement, he dismissed them, his stern voice then turning to Gojo.

“Satoru,” he said, tone harsh. “Why are you here?”

Gojo only shrugged, lounging back in his chair.

“Just curious about Nanamin’s first assignment,” he said innocently, grinning. “Since he didn’t want me going with him-”

“Because I wanted someone who is tolerable for more than five minutes,” Nanami cut him off, adjusting his tinted glasses. “And who will take this seriously instead of treating it like a game.”

“I’m offended,” Gojo lamented, his hand going to his chest. “I take our job very seriously-”

Rinko pushed herself to her feet, fighting the slight smirk as she listened to them bicker.

“Alright, kids,” she interjected. She held her hand out for the car keys, which Yaga tossed to her without question. “You can fight when Dad isn’t watching later, but for now, behave. Nanami, let’s get going. It’s a bit of a drive, and I’d hate to have you working overtime.”

-

The drive had been quicker than Rinko anticipated since Nanami was more talkative than she had expected.

She’d only met Nanami Kento twice. The first was at the Goodwill Event during her third year when she’d briefly faced off with him and Haibara Yuu in the main event on the first day.

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru had been absent, which she’d believed to be a blessing. It meant they’d had a better chance at winning.

But her short encounter with Nanami had told her he was strong. With Yoshinobu having ordered her to limit the use of her technique to help avoid an incident like the year prior, she’d been outmatched and forced to retreat from the fight before it could really begin.

The other time she’d met Nanami had been at Haibara’s funeral. It had been brief and solemn, and she’d stayed near the back with Utahime. She’d only spoken to Nanami to express her condolences and then spoken with Shoko briefly before she was on the train back to Kyoto.

But now, the conversation was mostly focused on his distaste for Gojo’s carefree attitude.

“He’s irritating,” Nanami stated, his monotone voice rising just slightly to convey his annoyance. “And has absolutely no sense of professionalism.”

“Coming from a former salaryman,” she teased, her voice light as she parked the car and climbed out.

He wasn’t wrong, though. In her limited experience, everything was a lighthearted joke to Gojo. With a few exceptions. The look of bloodlust that had overtaken his face when she’d first mentioned Toji came to mind when she thought about how serious he could be.

“He’s a child,” Nanami continued, loosening his tie as he followed her. “And that’s why I’m grateful you agreed to do this. Really.”

Giving a careless shrug, she grinned at him.

“I don’t mind,” she replied, extending her duplicates to their limit to scan the perimeter. Pausing, she created a veil, waiting until it was in place before continuing. “I know I wasn’t the first choice to accompany you, which I understand. But I won’t complain. Since this was a last-minute ask, Yaga agreed to pay me double.”

He rolled his eyes at her statement, retrieving his wrapped blade and rolling his shoulders.

“Still not sure why they think you needed to have a chaperone,” she muttered, focusing momentarily as her duplicate came across a curse. She recalled it immediately, seeing the cursed spirit’s energy spike at the sight of her. “But don’t worry, we’ll knock this out in no time. No overtime for you, mister salaryman.”

His heavy sigh made her want to tease him more, and she turned to meet him toe-to-toe. He was strong. She could tell from his nonchalance and her memory of knowing she needed to retreat during the Goodwill Event as a student.

But things had changed a lot. Her skill level had only continued to grow since she’d last encountered him. And he’d only just returned from a few years as a regular civilian.

“Come on, Kento,” Rinko pressed teasingly, “I know part of you likes the rush. Adrenaline coursing through you as you let loose? Have some fun. This will be an easy job, so we may as well enjoy it.”

Another heavy sigh was paired with him pushing his glasses up his nose.

“I’m beginning to regret this,” he said bluntly, causing her to laugh. “You’re just like the rest: insane and chasing a high.”

He wasn’t wrong about that. She knew that very well, especially after her last encounter with Gojo. But all the more reason to poke her overly stoic companion.

“Careful, Kento,” she said, a chuckle escaping when he pinched the bridge of his nose. “You’ll hurt my feelings.” Pausing when one of her duplicates spotted something, she focused momentarily to check on it. “I found our teens.”

Nanami looked taken aback before composing himself, stretching his shoulders more.

“Don’t worry, Nanami,” she said quietly, leaving her duplicate to keep sight of the victims. “I’ll take this seriously.”

A flick of her wrist withdrew her stiletto blades from their cursed sheath.

“They’re still alive,” she said. Two boys and a girl, the girl the only of the three awake and aware enough to scream. “Curse seems to be feeding off them slowly, draining their lives over time.” Her eyes closed, tensing when another duplicate came across more curses. “At least two of them are Grade 2. The rest are likely Grade 3 and below. Should still be a walk in the park.”

“How many total?” he asked, prepping his blade once again. “And where?”

“Hard to tell how many there are,” she replied, opening her eyes. Flipping her knives between her fingers easily, she grinned lazily at him now. “They’re waiting for us in the basement.”

“Best not to keep them any longer then.”

-

She’d been right. It was easy.

It had been hard to fight the scoff in the back of her throat when the first Grade 2 was felled easily. Retrieving the teenagers, she ensured they were safe before rejoining the fight.

The Grade 3’s were cut down effortlessly, her blades sinking into the concrete floor when she pierced the final one.

Turning, she yanked them from the quickly dissipating corpse of the curse. Flicking them, she cleaned the blood off and flipped them playfully, sheathing them again.

Nanami handled the other Grade 2 and most of the Grade 3s while she took care of the teenagers. He was breathing heavily from the exertion but otherwise was unphased.

“See?” she asked as he followed her from the basement. She picked up the girl while he heaved the other two over each shoulder. “Simple. Quick. I told you it’d be easy. I’ll even buy dinner to welcome you back and celebrate my doubled paycheck.”

“Wait to celebrate until we get these kids to safety,” he grunted, taking the stairs two at a time and leaving her struggling to keep up. “I’m surprised.” His voice was even as he turned to give her a calculating look over his shoulder. “Why aren’t you Grade 1 or Special Grade 1?”

She almost tripped, the tip of her foot catching on a stair in her surprise. Her body didn’t respond when she tried to get it to continue forward, frustration pooling in her chest as she grit her teeth.

It’s a compliment, she told herself, taking a deep breath through her nose.

The question caught her so entirely off guard, having not been prepared to be asked that question twice in one day.

Gojo was technically different because he now knew enough that he could understand why she’d be tight-lipped about it. And he understood just how damn spiteful they would be.

Special Grade 1? Seeing as only Zenin clan members held that rank, they would have hell freeze over before they let her even breathe in the direction of that promotion.

“That,” she began, forcing her legs to keep going as she shoved the anxiety down. “Is a very personal question.” She knew her voice still conveyed her annoyance and anxiety bundled into one. “One that - sorry to say - I don’t know you well enough to answer.”

He watched her closely as they piled the kids into the backseat of the car and she set off towards the nearest hospital.

His eyes bore into the side of her face. Suspicion and curiosity were on full display.

She couldn’t blame him, honestly. Few knew the exact reasons for her rank, most just assuming she was painfully average. The fact that there were specific holds on her ability to move up, holds meant to keep her at Grade 2 forever, was sensitive information. Even fewer knew why there were barriers keeping her from moving up. Her sealed records did their job well. And she was essentially the Zenin’s best-kept, dirty little secret.

As much as she’d love to embarrass them by letting the world know her father had had an affair with a non-sorcerer, she knew better. Revealing something like that was the best way for her to end up dead within a week. They weren’t afraid to get rid of her if they thought necessary.

He stayed silent as they arrived at the hospital, her checking the kids in and leaving Yaga’s name for them to contact if they had questions.

“Okay!” she said happily, clasping her hands together as she spoke. “Time for food! You like ramen? Or are you more of an oyoko-don kinda guy?”

-

Asakusa was one of her favorite places to get street food. The katsu sando felt like heaven on her nearly empty stomach as she devoured it.

Stopping briefly at a dango stall, she ordered three for herself and pressured Nanami into at least getting one.

“You can stare all you want,” she said flatly, ripping a dough ball from one of the skewers. “But I’m not gonna talk about it.” 

She could feel him trying to read her expression to find some hint of information.

This wouldn’t be another instance like with Gojo where she would spill her guts about her family. She’d taken a big risk letting him know her affiliation, but she also couldn’t just tell anyone and everyone now that she’d told one person.

Nanami’s small eyes narrowed behind the tinted glasses as he raised his eyebrows.

“I’m surprised,” she continued, finally turning slightly to meet his gaze. “You don’t seem like the type to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.”

“And you don’t seem like the type to have such deep, dark secrets,” he replied easily, discarding his own empty skewer in a trashcan as they approached the car. “If you’re not already a Grade 1, then you must have done something to prevent them from letting you promote.” Crossing his arms, a small smirk found its way onto his face. “Now, what could that be?”

Ah yes, she thought bitterly, being born was such a horrendous crime.

“You got me,” she drawled instead, sarcasm dripping from every syllable. “Seriously Nanami, drop it.” She made no effort to keep the ice from her tone. “Not only do I not know you well enough to talk about-”

“Yet.” His statement was sure as he cut her off. Her mouth fell open in surprise. “You don’t know me yet.”

What did they feed these Tokyo boys that made them so fucking forward? 

Nanami’s eyes were shining ever-so-slightly behind his tinted glasses, his smirk having grown as well. He seemed proud to have rendered her speechless.

“Well I’ll be damned,” she huffed, a small laugh escaping. “I don’t think you can handle getting to know me, Kento.”

Holding her gaze as he leaned forward just slightly, still keeping a respectable distance between them.

“Try me.”

Her grin transformed into a smirk.

“You’re more fun than you let on.”

By the time they returned to the Tokyo Jujutsu Tech campus, the sun had set, and she bid Nanami farewell after they’d reported back to Yaga.

“Told ya we’d have fun,” she called, waving as Nanami walked away. “See you next time, Kento.”

His small smirk when he waved over his own shoulder told her all she needed to know.

“A fun time with Nanamin, hm?”

Tensing at the sudden voice at her ear, she couldn’t help the amused smirk that found its way onto her face.

“Gojo,” she said easily, turning her head to see him smiling down at her in return. “What’s it to you?”

“Seemed real cozy,” he replied, his hands in his pockets. “Have a good dinner with Nanamin, too?”

His smile faltered as he spoke, and her eyes narrowed at him.

“What makes you think we had dinner?” she asked, watching his grin transform into more of a baring of his teeth. “Don’t tell me that Gojo Satoru had nothing better to do than follow us?”

Shrugging his shoulders, he straightened so he towered over her.

“Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t more than you two could handle,” he replied easily, smirk sliding back into place. “You take every jujutsu sorcerer you meet to dinner after an exorcism?”

And there it was. She debated what to do and what to say. While she’d enjoyed poking fun at Nanami earlier, nothing compared to how quickly she knew she’d be able to provoke the soon-to-be not cheerful sorcerer in front of her.

“And if I do?”

So many buttons to press she almost couldn’t decide which to choose first.

Maybe the big, shiny button that her brain had labeled with very big letters ‘DO NOT TOUCH.’

“Last one bought me dinner, though,” she continued, watching his mouth twitch. That button was just begging to be pushed. And who was she to deny it? “Was nice enough to get my favorite. Almost made up for the subpar fuck I got afterward-”

His growl sent a spark to her core, and she dodged out of the way of his grasp just in time to swap places with her duplicate. Moving through the woods as quickly as she could, she sent another in a different direction, letting its cursed energy flow wildly.

A new trick she’d learned thanks to him.

Somehow, her decoy worked. Feeling the air shift around her, one glance through the eyes of the double told her he’d fallen for it.

“I know you can hear me,” he whispered in its ear, pulling a small smile to her face at how rough his voice sounded. “It’s a nice little trick you’ve got. But I’ll find you, just like last time. You know I will.”

“Promises promises,” she said through her decoy, grinning when he pulled back, eyes narrowing at her for just a moment. “Looking forward to it, Gojo-san.”

Releasing her hold on it, she recalled the duplicate and focused on moving farther away. Leading him around the trees, their game continued. Disappearing just when he got a glimpse of her and reappearing just long enough to smirk at him, she did her best to stay a step ahead. She knew she’d annoyed him enough when he removed his blindfold to stare around.

He was done playing games, it seemed.

The Six Eyes found her instantly, and she heard his dark laughter echoing in her mind from every duplicate that heard him. Just as predicted, he was on her in an instant. Shoving her against the closest tree, he gave her no chance to escape as he slammed his lips against hers.

“New surprises each time,” he breathed. “Impressive.”

“Gotta keep you on your toes,” she replied, whining when he bit her lip harshly.

He hummed, his hand moving to her hair to angle her mouth against his and deepen the kiss. Teasing her tongue with his, his other arm wrapped around her waist to hold her against him.

“Subpar fuck,” he stated, his voice low, threatening. His hips were grinding into hers, sending sparks of pleasure throughout her body. “That what you’d call making you cum so hard you begged me to stop?”

The question made her breath hitch, and she felt another spark move through her, straight to her core.

“Maybe I was begging you to stop because of how bad it-”

The hand in her hair moved to grasp her throat, the squeeze he gave serving as a promise.

He saw it, the spark in her eyes. A sadistic grin appeared as he leaned back, his bright blue eyes shining down at her.“That’s what I thought,” he growled, grinding against her. “Guess I just need to remind you what happens to brats.”

“I really could, you know.”

Gojo’s words were spoken gently as he watched her pull her shirt over her shoulders. Leaning against the wall by the door leading to his ensuite bathroom, his eyes were deceptively soft as they stared at her.

At his statement, she paused buttoning her shirt, looking up to meet his gaze with a quirked eyebrow. Ignoring the way his eyes darkened as they zeroed in on the unfinished buttons, she waited for him to elaborate.

“Grade 1,” he finally said, clearly struggling to force himself to meet her eyes as his gaze kept dropping back down to her partially concealed breasts. Smirking, he met her irritated gaze.

She hadn’t forgiven him for ruining her bra earlier that evening, and he could clearly tell.

“Why?” she asked, her eyes narrowing at him in suspicion. “Why would you want to do that for someone you barely know?”

He only shrugged in response, almost as if he thought it all the way through.

“I could recommend your promotion,” he stated, shoving his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants casually. “They won’t turn down a rec from me. Yaga could be your second, and then you-”

“No.”

His brow furrowed at her firm refusal, his mouth parting in surprise. It was clear he wasn’t expecting her to give it a second thought before accepting.

“What do you mean, ‘no?’” he asked, a frown pulling at his lips. “I’m offering to help you.”

“I don’t need any favors,” she replied, her jaw set in determination. Her gut told her that it was a bad idea, and she was never one to ignore that feeling. “I meant what I said earlier: I’m fine with where I am now. If I’m gonna get Grade 1, I don’t want the help of people who will just hold it over me later.”

“I wouldn’t-”

She silenced him with a harsh stare, skepticism bleeding into her posture as well. When he said nothing else to contradict her, she resumed buttoning her shirt.

“I wouldn’t hold it over you,” he whispered, pushing away from the wall and walking over to where she stood at the foot of his bed. Pulling her towards him, he ignored her quiet protests about needing to get dressed. “It’s clear that you deserve to be Grade 1. I saw you tonight, saw how you handled the situation. Nanami doesn’t compliment people easily, either. He meant it when he asked why you aren’t a higher grade.”

“Tell me again why you followed us?” Rinko asked, absently swatting at his hands that were discreetly working their way beneath her shirt. “Did you really have nothing better to do?”

His sly smile made her roll her eyes, his hands still trying to sneak into her shirt. She leveled him with a sharp stare, her hands swatting his harder than before.

“I wanted to see you in action,” he replied, his smile shifting to a mischievous one as his eyes gleamed down at her. “The only times I’d seen you fight were against me. I thought it’d be fun to see you in a fight where you can win instead of just being annoying.”

Her eyes narrowed at him as he spoke, knowing he was trying to rile her up. Too bad he didn’t seem to realize she liked being annoying. To him. It was, in fact, one of her favorite pastimes.

Caressing her sides under her shirt, he squeezed her lightly, grinning when she yelped and flinched away.

“Don’t you dare try to distract me with that,” she warned, glaring up at his grin. “You are such a child.”

“Nice knives by the way,” he said, changing the subject. “You looked good using them.”

His hands were pushing her shirt up again, trying to subtly inch it up, but he was stopped when the few buttons she’d managed to fasten caught. She smacked his hands away, narrowing her eyes at him.

“Quit it,” she snapped, fighting the smile at his pout. “I need to go- Gojo, I mean it-”

“When did you learn to use your duplicates for scouting a location?” he asked, clearly still trying to distract her as his fingers dug into her sides.

“A while ago,” she answered vaguely, remembering how raw her ass had been after his little game the last time he asked her questions about her technique. She’d been sore for over a week. A good kind of sore, but still sore. “Did you like the decoy?”

She still felt smug about fooling him, even if it was only for a few moments. Taking his suggestion to mask the energy and flipping it around on him had definitely caught him by surprise.

His grin almost showed pride as he nodded, his fingers ceasing their wandering while he praised her.

“You had me,” he admitted, seeming amused. “I expected you to try to mask the energy, not max it out for a red herring. Way to think outside of the box. Can you control it just like your own body?”

“Not yet,” she admitted, pursing her lips to the side. “It can’t move freely yet, but I know it’s possible. My next goal is to create a perfect copy that I can control independently.”

“I ran into someone who could,” he said quietly, eyes watching her own. “Few years ago. He was weak, though.”

Releasing a scoff, she smirked up at him.

“Everyone is weak to you,” she retorted drily. “I’m a long way off from being able to control it, but I thought you’d like that decoy trick-” her voice cut off with a squawk when his hands swiftly released a few buttons on her shirt. “Stop!” she scolded, but she was unable to fight the giggles at his dramatic pout. “I’m serious. You’re gonna make me miss my train! I need to go home-”

“Ooorrr,” he drawled. One of his hands moved to cup her ass, pulling her so her hips were flush with his. “You can stay the night, have breakfast with me, and then accept my Grade 1 recommendation.” He leaned down so he could kiss her neck. “Come on, it’s the weekend and I know you don’t have work. Have some fun with me, Rinko-chan.”

“Oh, I think you’ve had plenty of fun,” she remarked, breathing a quiet, satisfied sigh when he sucked on the skin of her neck softly. “And I still don’t understand why you want to recommend me so badly if not to have something to hold over my head.”

Nothing in life was free. People, especially people like him, didn’t just do nice things for the sake of it.

“It’s as simple as that you deserve it,” he stated, leaning back to stare at her seriously. “You should be a Grade 1. And they’re holding back your potential on purpose. But they won’t deny my recommendation. I give primary rec, Yaga seconds it, and Nanami volunteers to have you shadow him and boom: Kurisaki Rinko is a Semi-Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer well on her way to Grade 1.”

The way he said it made it sound so simple, which was exactly how she knew it had to be anything but.

“Gojo Satoru doesn’t do things out of the kindness of his heart or for the sake of fairness.”

He let out an exasperated sigh, moving his hand up to cup her cheek sweetly. “Do you trust me?”

She thought for a moment, the answer already finding its way out before she had time to process it.

“No. I don’t trust you,” she admitted, meeting his eyes hesitantly. “I’m no one, not to you. I annoyed you enough a few years ago to intrigue you. You’ve made me cum a few times- don’t start,” she held a hand up when he looked insulted. “None of that is enough to-”

“Because I want to.”

The simple statement took the breath from her lungs, suspicion once again taking root.

“But why?” she questioned, still not understanding. “What reason-”

“Think of it as a friend helping a friend,” he said, clearly growing tired of their back and forth. “Let me help my friend, Kurisaki, achieve her dream of being a Grade 1 sorcerer.”

“You don’t even know me,” she finally whispered. It was the one thing that had been nagging her since he’d first offered hours before. “You know bits about my technique and that I’m a Zenin mistake. But technically, because of my sealed records, that could be a lie. Why would you do anything to help me unless you want something in return?”

“Let me know you, then,” he said, a small smile on his face as he spoke so calmly. It was almost as if he’d asked what she thought of the weather. “When’s your birthday?”

She sputtered for a moment, her eyes widening in shock at the abrupt topic change.

There was no way in all hell that he just asked-

“I can be your friend, Rinko,” he said, arching his brow at her in challenge. “Here, I’ll start since you seem to have forgotten your own birthday. My birthday is December 7th.”

She blinked up at him, dumbfounded for another moment before sighing and shaking her head.

“October 18th,” she murmured.

What was he up to?

His lips ticked up into a small smile. A genuine, gentle smile, and she couldn’t for the life of her understand what was happening. If she knew anything at all about him, this wasn’t who Gojo Satoru was.

“Favorite color?” his voice held a teasing lilt. But his eyes remained serious as her lips parted once again in surprise. “Come on, Rinko-chan, it’s an easy question.”

Crystalline blue, her mind said in a haze before she realized it was only because she was looking into his eyes.

“Seafoam green,” she said quietly. “Light, pale green that’s somewhere between sage and jade.”

It was the color of her mother’s eyes. Growing up, it had been Rinko’s favorite sight to see those eyes light up when she did something for her.

He grinned now, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers. The kiss felt different than any of their others, which were typically in the throes of passion. This kiss had no clear goal in mind, just existing, and she felt herself melt into it slowly.

When they finally parted, he rested his forehead against hers.

“Friends don’t typically do this,” she noted, her voice a whisper. A chuckle escaped when he pouted. “Unless you’re going to tell me this is how all of your friendships are? Because that’d be very interesting.”

That made him laugh, his eyes crinkling at the corners, his hand moving to the back of her neck to pull her lips to meet his again. Pressing his tongue into her mouth, his other hand went back to her shirt.

“I’ll admit this might not be a conventional friendship,” he murmured, releasing the few buttons she’d managed to fasten earlier. “But that’s what makes it fun. We can have sleepovers-”

His excited tone made her pull away, unable to contain the snort of laughter. He was completely insufferable. And she needed to leave before he convinced her to stay longer.

Looking down, she sighed at her fully open shirt, shooting him a glare.

“No sleepover tonight,” she said, snickering when he reached for her. “Stop. I’ll tell you what, I’ll think about the recommendation-”

“You’ll accept the recommendation,” he corrected, pulling her with him as he backed to the bed. “And you’ll stay the night. You don’t have anything planned for tomorrow-”

“And how would you know if I have plans tomorrow?” she asked, quirking an eyebrow at him. She didn’t, but that wasn’t the point. “Gojo-”

“Kurisaki,” he mimicked her tone, sitting on the bed now. “Stay.”

He made no effort to pull her down with him, just stared up at her expectantly. His thumbs massaged her bare hipbones soothingly, remaining silent when she didn’t immediately refuse him again.

Finally, she sighed, closing her eyes and lifting her head towards the ceiling.

“I’m going to regret this,” she muttered, looking down to see his hopeful smile beginning to transform into a grin. “I’m leaving right after breakfast, got it?”

The look in his eyes told her he disagreed as he yanked her down onto the bed beneath him before she could continue.

“First thing,” he agreed, nodding solemnly. He shoved her shirt from her shoulders and latched his mouth to her breast. “Absolutely.”

She already knew it was a damn lie.

Boarding the train two days later, flushed and desperately trying to make sure the numerous bruises on her neck were covered for the general public, she fought the stupid grin that appeared when she saw him happily waving goodbye from the platform. His other hand was in his pocket, a giant smirk on his face as he stared at her over his sunglasses.

‘See you soon,’ he mouthed, his smirk growing when she flushed further.

✨BanG Dream!!! Girls Band Party: The Best Character Tournament ✨

Here comes the (previously announced) Bandori Character Tournament!

Here are our contestants:

under the cut: explanation of the bracket-making process, poll links

How the bracket was decided:

Following the eurovision semifinals as an example, I put characters in 5 categories, depending their role in the band (mainly to avoid something like a yukiran showoff right in the first round)

I used a random chooser site to decide on the matchups following this method:

firstly, I chose a random number between 1 and 5

depending on that number, I chose a random character from the category numbered with that number

repeated first part, but excluded the category the first character was from

repeated second part

repeated all the previous steps until only 3 characters were left

Once only 3 characters were left, I considered putting them in 1 match together, but then decided it would be more elegant to randomly assign them to one of the already generated matches, following this process:

choose either 1 or 2 to decide which side of the bracket to put them in

then a number between 1 and 8 (for the left side) or 9 and 16 (for the right side)

Poll Links

links will be added and updated as polls are created
