* Manga

**Kagome Akuhei** (篭目 (め)開 (あ)く兵, *Akuhei* *Kàgómé*) is a first grade jujutsu sorcerer, who is currently teaching at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and is well-known for the unusual kanji markings on her body.

## Appearance

Kagome is a relatively tall, slim female, who is in her late twenties. Her hair is of a pale-teal colour, some arguing that it is more green, and is normally tied up in a ponytail. She wears a black band around her forehead. Her eyes are of an unusual colour, nearing pitch-black, and are often quite striking to some people—described as "empty." She has a mole under each of her eyes.

While working, Kagome wears a dark blue high collar shirt, with a golden button on the collar. The shirt is sleeveless, representing the unusual markings on her forearms. She wears matching Hakama pants that go with her matching boots. Kagome also carries the signature Jujutsu Sorcerer button, as an earring, on her left ear.

In terms of her cursed text, she has kanji on her left (Stop, 停止) and right palm (Go, 行く), and on both forearms (Scatter, 追い散らす). Kagome has a bandage on her left, index finger where it is said to read (Bang, どん).

## Personality

Kagome, initially, has a rather strong-willed demeanour; someone who is determined to do what she wants even if other people may be against it, believing strongly in her own opinions and choices. She comes off as someone who is headstrong, making it extremely difficult for others to sway her mind.

Despite this serious outer shell, Kagome is actually a very kind-hearted and generous individual. Most of her priorities, in fact, go towards the safety of others rather than her own desires. Kagome cares greatly for her allies and students, and gives all her effort and power to keep them safe and out of harms way. Kagome always manages to control her temper in check, and she never usually snaps, or allows her warm smile to fade from her face. However, she became rather agitated when Geto confronted Yuta, and the rest of his classmates, on school grounds, becoming extremely protective.

Kagome always thinks about others; putting them at the front of her mind. Even in serious situations, she values the lives of others more than her own and is willing to make necessary sacrifices, if needs be. As a teacher, Kagome understands that her students are her first priority, and she successfully shows this through her protectiveness. In more friendly and informal situations, such as going out with friends for shopping, Kagome always brings back souvenirs or gifts for her students and friends. An example of this is that she normally buys sweet foods, or desserts, for Gojo, as she knows that he has a sweet tooth, or Japanese rice balls for Inumaki. Kagome finds it very easy to get to know other people and, in return, she does the same for others. She is extremely approachable.

Kagome sympathises with others and tries her best to understand their situation. Since knowing Inumaki long before he attended Tokyo Jujutsu High, as relatives, Kagome understood his struggles with communicating with others, and made it her priority to comfort and look after him. She wasn't afraid of being cursed by his speech, but rather encouraged him to find a way to control and nurture his ability.

Kagome is also extremely straightforward with people, and is not afraid to tell someone when they're wrong, or annoying her. She even told Gojo that he was extremely arrogant and childish, without breaking a sweat. Despite being so upright with people, Kagome explains that she only says these things for the better of the people.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Kagome is known as one of the most talented Jujutsu Sorcerers throughout Japan, and is a highly respected Grade 1 sorcerer. She swiftly flew up the ranks when attending Tokyo Jujutsu High, as a student, and quickly reached Grade 1 within a matter of months-this she is recognised for. At this time, she was in the same year as Gojo and Geto and, though not on their level, she is very gifted.

Kagome is extremely intelligent and apt in battle; showing this through her keen tactical intellect and versatility in various situations. Whilst fighting against Toji Fushiguro, as a near final resort, Kagome presented her skill by outsmarting the Sorcerer Killer and using her surroundings to her advantage. Even though, as a student, Kagome found it far more difficult to take on stronger opponents, her determination and perseverance made her a strong fighter.

In the present, Kagome has only grown stronger, developing her cursed technique and fighting skills. Although she remains a Grade 1 sorcerer, quite comfortably, Kagome shows that she is able to take on greater cursed spirits and enemies. After nearly 12 years, she has made great progress in her development and, now, she wishes to pass down her gained knowledge to her students at Jujutsu High. She hopes to raise strong, capable students.

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Kagome primarily relies on using hand-to-hand combat in battle, judging that her cursed technique requires some form of physical contact to activate. Because of this, she has developed her close-combat skills to become a rather formidable fighter in martial arts. Kagome is known to have studied quite a few martial arts, specifically ones like: Jujutsu, Judo and Aikido, that include joint locks, throws and grappling. She excels in martial arts, finding it easy to engage in hand-to-hand combat against stronger opponents, and makes quick work at getting up close to activate her ability. When in serious battles, Kagome rarely holds out on opponents, making swift combos to overpower the enemies she can; leaving them on the defensive. While she is not as skilled as those like Gojo, Geto or Sukana, she remains a skilled combatant.

**Extreme Mobility**: Kagome is an extremely athletic, and acrobatic, individual, such with a well built body. She is quick to move, and can easily evade attacks from close and/or long range, making her a nimble opponent. As she relies on getting close to her opponents, Kagome, naturally, keeps all of her senses sharp to ensure that she avoids critical blows. On top of this, she has presented her adaptability on various different terrains, being able to easily avoid attacks in various given settings, e.g. Hanami's roots or wooden ball on the school terrain.

**Extreme Flexibility**: Kagome is unbelievable flexible. She is able to manipulate and bend the joints in her body far greater than any regular human being, and she does this with ease. On top of being very agile, this allows her to evade attacks with great accuracy.

**Keen Tactical Intellect**: When it comes to making plans on the spot, Kagome manages to excel in this. She has shown that she is able to adapt to her surroundings in a way that allows her to use them to her advantage. As her cursed technique limits her power output, and succession, she is aware that she must create her own openings to be triumphant.

### Jujutsu

**Cursed Text** (Letter) - (呪文字, *Ju Moji*): Kagome possesses the "stop, go, scatter" markings on her hands and arms, which are written in kanji. These markings are activated by channelling cursed energy to their origin points (e.g. the palm), once Kagome has chanted the wanted word. Upon coming into physical contact with the origin points, the opponents will be affected by the cursed text accordingly. Her abilities are at optimum on already moving objects and/or ones possessing traces of cursed energy, however, she is able to use this technique on anything/being, be it non-living or living. For Kagome's technique to be most effective, she **must** come into contact with her opponents. Kagome is not able to use her technique if one has more cursed energy than her, as it puts an extreme toll on her body and, if she is interrupted when speaking a word, that said kanji will not activate.

**Left-Hand: Stop** (左手「停止」*Zuǒshǒu・Teishi*): Upon touching the object and/or person wishing to be affected, Kagome must chant **stop**. Cursed energy will be channelled to the point of action. With left-hand, Kagome is able to stop the motion of any wanted object, making them completely idle, until she says otherwise. The target may be airborne or even land borne.

**Right-Hand: Go** (右手「行く」*Migite・Iku*): Upon touching any given opponent, wanting to be affected, Kagome must say **Go**. Cursed energy will be directed to her right palm; the point of action. With her right hand, Kagome is able to change the direction and trajectory. The more cursed energy input, the stronger the technique.

**Forearms: Scatter** (前腕「撒き散らす」*Zenwan・Maki Chirasu*): Upon bringing her arms up in front of her face, in a guarding motion, Kagome will chant **scatter**, and cursed energy will be directed accordingly. She is able to dispel any large amount of incoming cursed energy, including her own, if needs be. Naturally, the more cursed energy used, the more she can deflect.
 **Bang** ( どん *Don*): Kagome's undefined technique. It uses 1/3 of her cursed energy.
