Between Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am The One Squished Between Softies: Origins II

[Present Day, With Choso and Yuki]

(Third Person POV)

"Wait a minute." Choso said all of the sudden, "This doesn't make sense, how do you know exactly how that moment happened? Were you there?" 

Yuki blinked, "I didn't meet Kiryu until he was a bit older, shortly after the whole Star Plasma Vessel incident with Tengen-sama." She said

Choso frowned, "Then....how do you know this?"

Yuki shook her head, "The servant Toji bumped into, she told me." She said with a slight smile, "Pay attention to her, she'll be important later on." 

Choso nodded, "I guess so...." He said, "This is a young Kiryu, before he even became the head?" 

"This is before he and Satoru did That." Yuki said with a smile

"I remember that." Tengen said with a chuckle, "One of the most pivotal moments in the Gojo clan's recent history. To think that Toji Zenin was also involved." 

"Yea, let me keep going, Choso." Yuki said

"Alright, continue." Choso said, "So everything you're going to tell me, this was in the perspective from the servant girl? She's the one that saw all of this?" 

"Most of it, the rest are from other servants and from Kiryu himself." Yuki said, "Alright shut up now." 

"Here I go."

[Back to The Flashback]

"This little whipper-snapper is Kin's brat?" Toji said as he tilted his head

Young Kiryu frowned, "Whipper-snapper? Old guy, who the hell are you supposed to be, eh?!" he exclaimed, "Coming over here, bumping into my maid with no cursed energy and all.....wait a minute....that stupid look in your eye....You're a Zenin, aren't you?!" 

Toji's eye twitched, "Yea, what of it?" 

"Zenin." Kiryu scowled, "You lot are the worst of them. You know the Zenin head offered to marry one of their girls to me? She's older than me by a lot!!" 

The servant girl smiled, flustered, "Young Master, please calm down...." She said

"Mui, I was looking for you." Kiryu said, "I want more sweet rolls, can you make some?" 

"I have another batch ready, Young Master, I'll go and get them!" She said bowing

"Thanks." Kiryu said with a smile as he began to walk past her, "Come, let's go to the kitchen. I'll pour myself a glass of milk too." 

"Young Master, I'll take the milk and sweet rolls to your room." the servant girl said as she walked behind him, "You need not to do that." 

As they walked, Toji looked at the servant from behind, there was something about her that even he found interesting. 

"Hm...." Toji said

"Toji-kun." Elder Rukia said, "Why are you really here?" 

"Kin told me to come meet him." Toji said, "I'm here. Where is he?" 

"It's that time of the year, Toji-kun, have you forgotten?" Elder Rukia said with a grim face

Toji sighed, "I guess that's the case..." He said, "He's with his wife, huh? But why ask me here if he won't be here at all?" 

"Stay in the guest room until he arrives." The Elder said, "It won't be long. And I apologize for the Young Master's attitude, both Young Masters are like this. Kiryu is worse than Satoru when it comes to being snarky." 

"He's got good spunk." Toji said with a smirk, "I like him." 

***********************************************

"Young Master, please don't disrespect other clan members like that...." the servant girl said with a nervous look

They were in the kitchen, Kiryu was sitting on a stool that was in front of a counter, he was drinking from a glass of milk as he had a sweet roll on his other hand. 

He set the glass down and looked at her, "Huh?" He said, "Him? That guy doesn't have cursed energy and he carries himself with that kind of aura, hmph!" 

"Young Master, that's Toji Zenin!" the servant stammered, "D-Do you not know of him? He's your Father's close friend!" 

Kiryu raised an eyebrow, "Father's?" He said, "Well, what kind of friends does Father have? This guy doesn't look like good news." 

"He's also really strong, Young Master." the servant continued, "He can exorcise curses as he is, without cursed energy!" 

Kiryu stopped eating and looked at her, "Really?" He asked with nothing but curiosity in his tone, "No Cursed Energy and can still fight? That's something." 

The servant nodded, "I hear it's what they call a Heavenly Restriction." She said, "He was born with no cursed energy and was granted an incredible body, with monstrous physical strength." 

"Oh?" Kiryu said, "I ought to test it out." 

"Please don't, you're but a child." She said, "He might hurt you." 

"Hurt me?" Kiryu said, "Does he not know who I am? I am Kiryu, son of Kinryu! I will not be harmed by anyone!!" 

"You're still a child...." the servant said, "Oh by the way, Young Master, Lord Kinryu sent me a message earlier." 

"Young Master Satoru is waiting for you in Kyoto, meet him in a few hours."
