till it happens to you.

It took Fushiguro a day to get to Jujutsu Tech. Mainly because there were curses literally taking over the streets, stopping him in his path as he carried y/n on his back.

Though, once to the school, he was surprised to see it in flames. The red and orange tendrils dancing across the walls, the roof, the ground. Burning, marking, and turning everything to ash.

Bodies littered about the ground. Fushiguro wondered if people made it out alive, but enough of that. Sukuna must have hit this place first.

"Fushiguro ... this isn't training."

He froze. Said King of Curses emerging from the rubble. A smirk on his face. He was holding a severed head in his hands. His pants and chest soaked with blood.

"Wha-what are you doing here?!"

"Just came to get the fingers that belong to me," he answered simply. His eyes flicking to y/n as his smirk widened, "though, i do see that you've gained some strength. Anyway, before i forget, I suppose I can leave you with some advice..."

Should Fushiguro really bother with this guy? This curse was using his friend's body. He can't possibly have any advice worth mentioning.

"Well, I suppose its not really advice but some information over the type of condition that woman on your back is in."

"She has a name."

"Like I care."

Fushiguro already hated the guy.

"Anyway, it's about her condition."

"What about it?"

"Her body has been put in a temporary ... space. Almost as if time has stopped for her."

"And what use is that to me?"

Sukuna merely shrugged, "think of it as ... you won't have to worry about her bodily functions."

Before Fushiguro could ask any further, Sukuna was already gone. Probably to wreak havoc elsewhere. Not exactly a good thing, but at least Fushiguro didn't have to worry about fighting Sukuna again since he was still injured from the day before.

And as he went through the rubble himself, a part of him was glad he didnt find Kugisaki among the dead bodies that decorated the school in a graphic fashion. The smell of blood and decay was plenty as he scrunched his nose.

Gojo was no where in sight as well.
