You head into your room in a panic, completely freaking out. You didn't know how to process how deep in Mahito's clutches your brother is in. Nanami had requested to meet with Yuji for something so you're alone. 


'It's all happening, it's heading in that direction,' you thought, panicking. Your mind is not thinking straight as you entered your room. You head into your room, blinking in surprise at the sudden amount of dust that lingers in the air. You cough and wave it away and then quickly grab items. If your brother is on Junpei's path then Mahito is going to kill Rosa tonight! 


You hastily grab a handful of references and shove them into your pocket. You grab a bag until you feel your whole body freeze, making you drop it. It felt like a force making you stay in place.


"And where do you think you're going?"


You hear Gojo's voice behind you as he takes slow steps around you. 'No!' you thought. He's using his Infinity to hold you in place! "I have tried to be patient Y/N, and I admit I tried to use unethical ways to get you to talk. But I have run out of patience, do you know what's going on in the world?" He stands in front of you and holds his phone in front of you.


He shows you a picture of what looks like floating white tears in the air. Like someone cut the air and left a void. 


"These started appearing out of nowhere," he spoke so seriously it terrified you. "These are tears that are growing bigger every day. The tears are like doors into other worlds. Because you are hidden you don't see them. What I have discovered is that curses are drawn to them and they are entering some kind of void. People are walking by them and they can't see them so they are getting sucked through them and we never see them again. You have thirty seconds to explain everything or I will get my answers one way or another." 


He lifts his blindfold revealing only one eye. "Even if it means I have to tear you apart piece by piece."  Fear runs through your body and you feel his infinity release your upper body only. 


"I..." you start, terrified. "Came from a reality much like this one, but we don't have curses there. I-I was taken here by some god, a woman visited me at night to tell me to leave or to stay or I will cause destruction. I don't know much Gojo I swear!"


He grabs your chin harshly, gripping it tightly you're afraid that he's going to snap your jaw in half. "And you're only telling me this now? Were you going to hide it forever?" You whimper in pain. "I didn't know how to tell anyone this!" His eye scans your terrified ones. 


"You're hiding something," he hums. "What else do you know?"


"I really don't!" you said, panicking. "I don't know as much as you do! And everything I thought I knew is worthless because everything keeps changing."


"What is changing Y/N?" he demands getting impatient. "What do you know?"


"Please stop you're hurting me! I don't know anything I swear!" 


Gojo examines your eyes for a second until he sighs and pulls back. "I haven't even begun hurting you Y/N," he spoke, scratching his chin. His infinity is lifted and he steps back, stretching. "Tch perfect my only lead is a dead end," he said, disappointed. You rub your jaw, keeping your distance from him. 


You didn't waste a second to grab your things and leave as fast as you could. Tears form in your eyes as you hold your mouth, now afraid of staying here. But what he showed you, if tears are forming around the world what does that mean? 


People are disappearing through it? Curses are attracted to it and are going through them?


As in...tears through worlds?


"No...." you whisper in horror. Does that mean curses are entering your world? Everything is going so wrong. You usher out of the school, unsure of what to do. Who can you go to?


"The Goddess," you whisper. 


But where can you find her? How can you find her? If your existence is really what's causing all of this....you need to leave. This world isn't the only one in danger, yours is as well. And who knows how many others?


Wait a minute....wasn't it night? Why is the sun high in the sky? It was just night! You checked the date on your phone and it looks like a whole eleven hours has passed!?


'Rabbit where were you?' Sukuna's voice echoes in your mind. 'I couldn't get into your mind for hours.'


'I-I was in the school. What happened Sukuna? I thought it was night how did hours pass already? Sukuna? Sukuna! Are you still there?'


He didn't reply, making you sigh in anger. You feel your phone vibrate and it notifies you a text message was sent to you. 


An address?


-


'3345 Fake Address Lane,' you thought, frowning.


You walk to the address this random number sent you and became confused at the location. It looked like an abandoned warehouse. There's something off about this place that, but something is telling you to check it out.


....


"Nope," you said, turning around and walking off. 


Until you heard a scream coming from inside the building. B/N's scream. That made you turn around and run to the building. You tried to open the metal double doors, but they are locked tightly. Your brother's screams grow louder, making you panic. 


You look around and find a rock heavy enough. You pick it up and throw it into a window, smashing it open. You push the leftover glass and climb inside. Your brother's screams stop, making you stop as well. 


"Oh shit, I probably should've tried to stealth in," you hissed. You frown as the light rays that beam from outside is starting to disappear from the inside. Is it turning night already? You look outside to see a veil placed over the building. 


"My, my, there you are what took so long!?"


Your eyes widen when you turn around to see Mahito walking down some stairs. He has this wide grin as his eyes watch your every moment. 


'Of course, it was a trap, why the hell am I so stupid?' you thought, glaring at him. 


"Now, now there's no reason to give me that look. We haven't met each other yet." 


"I was told by my boss about a curse with patchwork on his face," you spoke, your voice hard. "You fit the description perfectly. Where is B/N?"


"Oh he's fine, he's in a safe place. I just wanted to meet Yuji's supposed soulmate." You grunt and take a step back as he takes a step closer to you. "Soulmate huh? How long have you been watching us?" 


"Long enough to know that Sukuna's vessel would do anything to save his friend," he hums. He holds his chin as he thinks out loud. "Maybe even forge a pact with Sukuna to save your life."


"You're wasting your breath, you can't make Sukuna do anything," you hissed. "Just give me my brother and no one has to get hurt." You get in your fighting position as he laughs and then licks his lips.  


"Since I need you alive, I'll go easy on you," he spoke smugly. He pulls his arm back and reveals a large hammer. Your eyes widen as he let's out a very excited yell and swings at you. It was hard to dodge as the hammer was almost as big as your body. You jump back and his hammer hovers above you, getting ready to strike. You jump to the side, landing beside him, and punch his side repeatedly. 


Shit, you know you can't deal much damage to him he's on Yuji's level. You're not on Yuji's level! 


You slide back as his side evokes large spikes from his side. 


"For someone trying to capture me alive, you look like you're trying to kill me!" 


"Alive doesn't mean you come out unscathed though!" he laughs. "You might have some cuts here and there." As he says that his arm extends into a chainsaw!? 


"Oh, my fuck!"


-


Yuji pants as he arrives at the building Ijichi told him about. A sudden veil was placed over an abandoned building. He also received a frantic text from B/N which is in the exact location where the veil is. He hears screaming from inside that sounded like you! He wasted no time to charge in through a window and see some patchwork curse on top of you.


You were screaming because he has a fricking drill closing in on your face?! 


"Y/N!" Yuji screams and slams his fist into the ground. Mahito jumps off of you as the ground impact throws you in the air. "Huh!?" you shout, in shock. Yuji jumps up and catches you before you hit the ground. 


"Oh god Yuji you have the best timing I've ever seen!" you said, holding onto him. If he didn't come in time you had a feeling Mahito would drill your eye out. "Who on earth is this?" he asked, keeping you close to him. 


"This guy is a curse and he has my brother somewhere." 


Yuji sets you down and stands in front of you protectively. "Go look for him I'll deal with this guy," he reassures you. You nod and head back up the stairwell, almost making it to the second level until a large hammer connected to Mahito's stretched skin comes at you. He breaks the stairwell, causing you to lose your balance and fall back onto the first floor. 


"Y/N!" Yuji yells.


"Uh uh, no peeking!" Mahito said, grinning. Yuji attacks him as you land harshly. Your back landed right on top of a rail and the impact sent waves of pain. You hiss in pain and grab your back, struggling to sit up. "Fuck my back!" you groan. 


You look back up to the broken stairwell and try to imagine a launch pad under your feet with your curse energy. You focus your energy on your feet and nearly fall over as you imagine a launch pad. You jump up, almost making it to the half stairwell, but you couldn't reach it. You hear B/N's screams again, making your eyes widen. 


He's up there somewhere, you just have to find a way up!


"Heads up Y/N!" 


You turn around to see Yuji dodging an attack from Mahito and rushing your way. Yuji's large hands grip your sides and throw you up to the second floor. "Huh!?" you gasp in shock as you hover in the air. You land on the second floor flawlessly, but you didn't have time to celebrate.


You run down the grated hall as Mahito extends his limb and spikes come charging at you. You dodge them running down the hall where there is a door. Your eyes widen as your feet carry you faster to the door. That must be where B/N is being kept!


You slam your body into the door, forcing it open off its hinges.


"B/N-!"


Something hard comes in contact with your jaw, knocking you back. You stumble back, trying to figure out what the hell hit you. You turn back around to see B/N standing there with a creature wrapped around his body. 


Is that...a curse?


He throws a punch your way and the curse extends its hand throwing a punch at you as well. Its fist is as big as you and your eyes widen as it comes at you so damn fast. It punched you and you go flying into the railing. 


The decomposing weak rail broke from your impact, causing you to head straight down to the first floor. 'What the hell? Did Mahito give him powers as he did to Junpei?!' your confused thoughts circle your mind. You hear Yuji scream your name as you land harshly on the ground. You grunt in pain and gasp when you see B/N jump down, fist raised in the air.


You move out of the way as the curses fist slams into the ground, causing a big impact. 


"B/N what are you doing!?" you scream, confused and angry. His angry gaze is on you as he slowly stands. "I don't have to answer to you, you murderer!" he spat with such hatred, it hurt you. Murderer? 


"B/N I don't know what you're talking about!" you scream as he runs to you.


You barely dodge his attacks because the curse is huge and fast. You didn't want to hurt him, but he's going at you like he's actively trying to kill you. You imagine your curse technique into your large claws and begin deflecting the curse's attacks. 


"Claws just like how she died," B/N hisses as he watches you. "You murdered her!" 


"If you would so kindly tell me who the fuck did I murder?" you hissed, angry. Mahito must've framed you for something. "You killed Rosa," B/N whispers. "The one woman who took me in when no one else would. Why did you kill her!?" Rosa died? You were too late...?


"B/N you got it wrong I didn't kill her! I wasn't-" He growls and suddenly the creature grew long claws. "Shut up!" Your eyes widen as the claws came at you until you feel yourself being picked up and taken away from the attack. In the corner of your eye, you see the familiar pink hair from Yuji as he saved you from the attack. 


"He's really strong," Yuji curses as he sets you down. "He's too fast and strong for me," you mutter. "I think we need to switch our targets." Mahito and B/N stand together, B/N with an expression of betrayal as Mahito looks amused. That stupid fucking smile he has. 


"Are you sure you can handle Mahito? I can try to take them both-"


"One can shape his soul and one is almost the same as you in terms of speed and strength," you grunt, keeping your eyes on them. "They're both out of my league but we don't have a choice, if you try to take on both Mahito will most likely pull a trick to stab you in the back or something." 


Yuji remains quiet and he looks at you, frowning. "I believe we can do this," he spoke in a confident tone, not too cocky but in a tone where he's determined. You didn't say anything as you don't exactly have the confidence right now. 


You can barely imagine a weapon, Yuji is the only one who can cause harm to him but you can't even keep up with B/N. You're screwed either way. But if Yuji can use Talk no Jutsu on B/N, if he can get B/N on your side then your chances of beating Mahito are higher. 


"Let's do this." 


Mahito grins as he watches you pull out a paper from your pocket. You hold the paper up so you can keep an eye on him while also having a reference in your view at the same time. As you glance at the image you immediately imagine the weapon. B/N and Mahito charge at both of you as the weapon forms in your hand. Yuji blocks B/N's attack as the weapon weighs heavily in your hand.


Mahito's entire arm forms into a heavy round object as you swing your weapon. There's a loud clash as the weapon you imagined was a sledgehammer. Mahito has an 'oh' look. You feel the blood drip from your nose and push him back. 


He flies back as Yuji and B/N take their fight somewhere else. "Ah I was waiting for you to imagine a weapon, why keep a man waiting?" he asked, humming. "Because it takes a lot to create solid objects from energy," you mutter. "Normally my claws could do the trick, but with you, I have to resort to these." 


You wipe your nosebleed away keeping your eyes on him. 'I may not be able to damage him, but I can try to give myself protection. It should keep me protected until Nanami gets here. That is if he comes here.' You reach into your pocket and pull out another picture reference. "Oh no you don't!" he laughs, running towards you. You lift your forearms in the air, forcing yourself to speed up the process. 


Straps wrap around your arms as well as a hard surface forming. However because you were in a rush, the armor is embedded into your skin. You grit your teeth together in pain as you feel your skin stretch from the foreign object. As he swings a sword, you use your forearms to block the attack heading toward your head.


His weapon is stopped as it slams against your forearms. The blow sends vibrations through your arms, causing them to shake. The picture drops from your hands as a result and Mahito sees what it was. "Hm, you imagined some armor?" he hums. "I wonder what else you can imagine?" 


"It's a long work in process," you hiss.


Blood pours down your arms and you jump back before he could try to swipe your exposed legs with his other arm. He keeps attacking as you use your arms to block as many attacks as you can. You reach into your pocket, pulling out yet another reference. 


With a quick scan of the image, you reach behind you as the weapons forms in your hands. You jump back and throw multiple blades his way. He tries to block them all, but few manage to pierce his body. 


"Hm, that won't work on-"


His voice is cut off as the blades blow up on him. "Exploding knives, neat trick huh?" you said, grinning. You feel more blood rush out of your nose and a pounding headache in your skull. If you're not careful you're going to end up destroying your body in the process. 


You tried to reach for another reference but your chest twists in pain. You let out a choke sound and fall to your knees. Blood pours from your mouth. You cough violently as Mahito chuckles.


"Nice little trick, but it seems you're hitting your limit soon." 


You close your eyes, trying to get your coughing under control but you couldn't. You watch, feeling defeated as he made his arm form a large spike. As he gets ready to stab you a foot kicks him in his jaw. 


B/N!?


"B/N?" you weakly spoke. 


"Mahito stop! Y/N and Yuji didn't kill Rosa!" B/N explains. "Yuji he showed me proof!" Mahito readjusts his jaw as B/N continues. "We can find her real killer just please stop." 


Yuji jumps into the air to punch Mahito from above, but Mahito grins. "You poor foolish boy," Mahito said, chuckling. Mahito pins Yuji against the wall and your eyes widen at the familiar scene that's going to play out.


"No," you whisper. You struggle to get up as Mahito makes his way to B/N. "B/N run away," you wheezed, trying to crawl to him. Mahito grins and grabs his shoulders. "You should learn to think with that brain of yours, your poor sister was only trying to save you from me." B/N's eyes widen as Mahito said,


"Idle Transfiguration."


Your eyes widen in horror as your brother turned into a red transfigured, his body disproportioned as his limbs are jagged. It's...almost as if he's been completely skinned and all that's left are muscle and bone. Your jaw dropped as Mahito let B/N charge toward Yuji. "B/N," Yuji whispers. You were so caught up in your horror that Mahito takes the chance to slam you against the floor and pin you there.


"B/N stop!" you scream.


"B/N I'll heal you just hang on!" Yuji screams urgently. "Sukuna! Sukuna!" Sukuna's eye and mouth appear, grinning. "What?" he asked. It has to work this time right? You and Sukuna got close together, he should be able to heal B/N! You two are friends and friends help each other out!


"I'll do anything! Heal B/N just like how you healed me and Y/N! Please!"


"Hm?" he asked, humming as if that was the most hilarious
