"Mama! Can papa drive me to the playground? I wanna play..."
The sakura haired boy asked his mother joyfully jumping in anticipation.
"Alright then, try not to get pushed around some kids at the playground are quite troublesome."
His mother replied that stitch on her forehead still as visible as it can be, the mother then shouted at her husband whom is sitting at the couch while watching TV saying to drive Itadori to the local playground.
He finally got to the small playground at the small town his father then just parked his car saying he'll just be there, the sakura haired boy then walked to the swings and saw a girl sitting by herself on one of the swings.
*-*-*-*
"Hey is the other swing available?"
She looked up at who spoke, I was just standing there awkwardly. I smiled and sat at the other swing, I then asked her seeing that I don't see her often in this playground.
"I haven't seen you around, are you new here?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Just haven't seen your face around this playground. What's your name?"
"Kazushi Mori..."
"Oh! Nice to meet you mine is Itadori Yuuji."
The I offered my hand to the girl for a simple handshake, and she shook it lightly. I then noticed her teddy bear wearing a doctor's clothing.
"Ooh you have a teddy bear? What's its name?"
"Dr.Isha..."
I then got intrigued.
"Well that's a unique name, isn't it?"
The hybrid didn't answer, now I thought I said something wrong.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Nope you didn't... Can I ask you a question?"
I nodded curious on what question she'll asks.
"Are you a human or a hybrid?"
I became slightly shocked to be asked that question since no one did, she probably asked me that because she doesn't know the difference between a human and hybrid(Human form of a hybrid)..
"Is it because hybrids can transform into humans?"
The girl nodded.
"Well I am a human."
"Oh okay... How old are you then?"
"Six years old, how about you?"
I replied to the girl.
"Same age as you."
My face lit up as I am finally going to have a friend that's the same age as me, she looks like a few months younger but that's fine.
The girl wondered at the thought of what this stranger is thinking about.
"What are you thinking about?"
She slightly swings the swing back and forth.
"I'm thinking about how I'm gonna to have a a new friend."
I happily replied with a smile.
"Wait we're friends?"
I was stunned, I thought we were friends..! The girl was then worried and stopped swinging.
"Did... did I say something wrong? Are you okay?"
The cat looked clueless what to do in this type of situation. I then spoke in a hurt tone.
"I thought we were friends..."
"Oh... you wanted to be my friend?..."
"You wanna be best friends with me? You think I'm not mean?"
Her tail lightly swung side by side for hope of finally getting a best friend.
"Yeah! Is it your first time to have one? "
I spoke intrigued that this is her first time of having a friend... Then that means we're best friends!
*-*-*-
"Yes..."
She answered her tone quiet but enough to be heard by him, a bit embarrassed to admit it.
"Well then happy to be your best friend then."
The boy Itadori smiled warmly as the girl's cat ears flattened as a sign of embarrassment but quickly compose herself. And decided to let Dr.Isha to hug him instead of herself.
"What's this for?"
"He wanted to hug you..."
She shyly replied looking to the side. The boy laughed in a friendly way and hugged back the teddy bear and gave it back to her.
"It seems he is happy to be hugged."
The girl got the teddy bear back and shyly nodded by what he had said. She didn't seem to realize the time and her mother is calling her as the lady stands by the slides, it was already sunset and she had to say good bye early to the pink haired boy.
-**-**-
All those years they have become great friends whenever Kazushi keeps playing with Itadori in the playground, he feels like he's made the very best friend he could never have[except Todo of course].
He always wants to go to the local playground to play with her, telling stories of what happened at school or at home to her. While he told her brothers what happened at the playground sounding awe of the usual encounters of the two, but he always asked on why she has bruises to her face down to her feet but she said it was just her having playful accidents here and there.
She always protected him whenever there's a bad guy or bully trying to harm him or her at the playground, it was nice having to know someone was by your side while your parents are a bit busy.
-**-**-
[Both of the kids are 7 and a half old..]
It was finally the day where Kazushi can finally meet the Itadori family. She has been all curious of what his family looked like and act like.
Itadori asked his parents if Mori can stay at their place for a day.
Kazushi asked her parents if she can stay at Itadori's place for a day.
Itadori's parents agreed as long as they don't do any harm around the house.
Kazushi's parents were arguing when she asked them, her parents couldn't care less as they were to focused on their argument and just agreed.
Both of the kids were happy when their request was accepted.
-*-*-*-
Itadori was the first one at the playground where they first met, he was the first one because his parents drove him there.
The cat was the last one to get there and apologized because she was late and had to walk to the playground. But the pink haired boy couldn't care because they were going to have the best sleepover ever!
It was about a 30 minute ride because the playground and Itadori's house was a bit far from each other. When the drive was over they got to Itadori's house and got out of the car, Itadori's dad was left at the car because he had to park it at their garage.

11:20am
-*-*-*-
She looked at Itadori's house and is in awe of how more bigger it is than her. Itadori then decided to hold her hands and ran with her inside the house as he spoke in a playful tone as his mother warns them in a worried tone.
"Come on let's go inside!"
"You kids better be careful you might trip and fall!"
The boy and cat laughed joyfully as they playfully ran inside the house, they then sat down at the living room placing her bag on the couch.
Kazushi was in awe by how beautiful his house is or should I say his father's house is.
"Wow your house is so big! Like a semi mansion."
She exclaims with a hand sign that means a big house.
"Actually this is what normally a house is it's pretty common. Is your house not that big or something?"
He asked in a surprised voice.
"Well I guess soo.. Hey where are your brothers anyways? Are they still in school?"
She asked to Itadori as he was finding his planner for the sleepover as he then answered.
"Well yes, but I do know that they'll be here around.."
He looks at the clock in the kitchen a bit unsure.
"Probably around 12 pm. Why'd you ask?"
"Well I wanna know how they look like and I also wanted to meet them from some time now..."
"You are always so curious about things."
He giggles amusedly as he then pats the cat's head. But then continued to look where he putted the sleepover planner confusedly. As she then confessed and asked on why he has always done that to her.
"Why do you always pat me in the head like I'm younger than you?"
"Probably because you are younger than me-"
Itadori answered while still looking for the planner.
Mori then interrupted him from saying any further.
"Actually let's see who is more older. When were you born?"
"3416 20th of March, you're next."
"I was born on 3416....11th of August..."
The cat was a bit shocked that this pink haired boy is more older than her even if it was just a few months. The boy just laughed proudly that his hunch was correct.
"Cheer up Mori! Come on let's both look for the planner I've made last week."
"You already have a planner for our sleepover? Aren't you a bit excited?.."
His mom then walked inside the kitchen and announced.
"He has been planning this sleepover before he even told you."
"Mom! Don't tell her.."
Itadori was flushed when his mom told her that as both the cat and the curse giggles at Itadori for how consistent and cute he is when embarrassed like that. After a few seconds later the kids finally calmed down and the finally spoke.
"Come on I'll help you find that planner pink boy."
She teased but still helped him find that planner, as the boy was still embarrassed.
-*-*-*-
12:15pm
-*-*-*-
I don't remember much but I did remember that Mori asked me why me and my brothers last name were different after I've introduced her to them, I was also confused why they are my so-called brothers but because mom told us so... That's what eventually made us brothers or act like one. I have a lot of brothers but some may be half-curses half-human, some are in tiny containers floating around in some kind of liquid..
Thankfully I made a good lie... I don't like to lie but if it keeps my family whole then that's alright
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the only thing I clearly remembered that day, but I do know that we had a happy time at the sleepover!
Until a few years later, Mori texted me saying that, "I'm sorry Itadori, i couldn't say this infront of you. But i applied to the headquarter, i got accepted and i hope we can still chat!" Was all she texted me before she goes offline, she's probably traveling by train to the Headquarter! I'm not mad or anything but I hope she doesn't get a hard time there.
