"y/n?" you heard a feminine voice and a knock on your door. you wondered who could be knocking at this ungodly time of night

"come in!" you yelled, " the doors unlocked!"

"wow, you just leave your door unlocked? that's very dangerous for girls nowadays," nobara opened up,

"i can defend myself nobara," you smiled,

"i know," she responded with a grin, "anyways, i was just looking around the dorms and megumi told me i was in between you and itadori so i had to find you which one was you," she rambled, "sorry for intruding so late at night,"

"it's all good nobara! we're bestfriends, aren't we?" you smirked at her, whilst she gave you a devilish look,

"of course, since we aree bestfriends and all, let's talk drama.. oh wait, maybe tomorrow it's a little late."

"i agree nobara, goodnight,"

"goodnight y/n! don't let the bedbugs bite," she winked.

you smiled at your's and nobara's strange interaction as she walked out the door. she sure was a handful but you kind of loved that.

since it was so late, you finally managed to close your eyes and drift of to sleep, knowing gojo had a big mission for the four of you tomorrow.

"rise and shineee!" you heard one voice call,

"good morning sleeping beauty!" another chuckled.

you opened your eyes to see nobara and itadori standing above you, each holding their phones and taking pictures of you,

"ughhh" you groaned, turning your face into your pillow,

"y/n get up!" nobara yelled,

"ugh nobara you're so loudd! how did you guys get in?" you questioned, completely forgetting about what you had told nobara the day before,

"you shouldn't have told me that you keep your door unlocked y/n!" the brunette grinned. you sighed,

"we knocked before coming in but there was no answer so we assumed you were asleep," itadori smiled, "by the way, keeping your door unlocked is really unsafe! you should really-"

"yep, i've heard it before, itadori." you cut him off, shooing the two out of your room so you could get changed. in the morning you weren't the kindest person ever.

╰┈➤

soon after everyone was ready, you all walked to ijichi, who was going to drive us to our location. you had read through the report already, so you had a small idea of where you would be going, and what you might be dealing with.

honestly, your stomach was uneasy looking at the report,

'what the fuck? this cannot be suitable for first years to deal with. is this where gojo's irresponsibility has gotten us. cursed womb!? what? surely he would know better, something is up,'

your uneasy thoughts ran rampant even though you were quite confident in your fighting abilities.

once getting to the area, you saw the detention centre. it was dark and you could feel the energy. it was almost overwhelming. ijichi started explaining what was going on, more specifically to itadori, seeing he's new to the entire world of jujutsu,

"our windows confirmed there is a cursed womb in here 3 hours ago. now these wombs are almost guaranteed to grow into a special grade," your stomach dropped a little,

"look, usually gojo would deal with this but he's.... on a business trip. all i have to say about dealing with a special grade is either you run, or you die," ijichi finished.

you simply sighed knowing that this will most likely not go well. your first thought was get it done with but now you realised it won't be as easy,

"hey! is my son... tadashi... is he okay?" a panicked woman called out, a guard holding her back. itadori looked at the woman. there was something in his eyes, determination? concern? you couldn't really tell. he turned to face you guys,

"fushiguro, kugisaki, y/n. we need to save him," itadori muttered,

"of course!" kugisaki replied

"we can only try, itadori," you spoke lowly.

megumi just stayed silent. you knew why as well.

with a cursed womb in there, there is a very high chance that the woman's son is dead.

you sighed solemnly, walking into the centre with your new "team".

as soon as you all took a few steps into the detention centre, the door had suddenly disappeared,

"damn it, an unfinished domain.." you muttered,

"HOW ARE WE GONNA GET OUT?!" itadori exclaimed,

"it's fine, we can track the scent of the exit," megumi said calmly, pointing to his dog. the two teens then started smothering the poort thing,

"what a good doggy! such a good doggy!" itadori praised, rubbing his face in the dog's fur

"you can have all the beef jerky you want!" the brunette smiled,

"guys stay vigilant! lets go," megumi scolded,

"yes sir!"

╰┈➤

after exploring a little more, we ended up walking past some pretty gnarly dead bodies. it was horrible to see, but knowing why these people were here made it a little more bearable.

you, megumi and nobara, took it decently well, though itadori looked absolutely horrified, stuck on one body in particular,

"guys.. we have to bring this body back,"

"no itadori, we don't have time for this."

"fushiguro! that woman was looking for her son, she is going to be in disbelief when we tell her that he's dead, she needs something, she needs closure!"

'god, his heart is too big and pure for this world,' you sighed at his thoughtfulness.

you decided to interrupt their argument as it started getting a little heated,

"oi! stop. listen, itadori," you grabbed his arm, leading him away from the body, "i really admire your thoughtfulness towards this woman and wanting to give her closure, you're a very kind person, but if we don't get a move on now, more people will die, okay? we need to go,"

the boy obeyed, looking down to the ground silently. you held onto his shoulder trying to comfort him as much as you can before looking back at nobara, who look utterly terrified.

you all turned to look at what she was looking at and saw megumi's shikigami, mounted in the wall.
