!TW- Mentions of suicide. Please don't read if that's triggering!

The first year trio found the classroom boring without their final friend. It was the afternoon, and Kumori had just left five nights before. 

The classroom was more quiet, less of Gojo's and Kumori's daily banterings about the subjects, or Getou's unbiased inputs. Well as unbiased as he could resist, he often sided with Kumori just to spite his best friend. 

When she didn't come back the first two days. They figured she'd stayed and took that vacation. Gojo smiled and dismissed her missing state, glad the girl knew to take a break. That didn't mean he didn't miss her any less. 

"Still thinking about Zenin-chan?" Getou asked Gojo bringing him out of his thoughts. 

"No," his answer far to quick to be normal. He breathed in a sigh, calming his nerves. "She's probably taking that vacation we convinced her to take."

"You're right but that also explains your unusually quiet behavior. Probably because of the absence of a certain someone," He enunciated the someone part, just to tease his friend. 

"Oh shut up," Gojo swatted his friend. "Besides who's to say my silence isn't purposeful? Maybe I'm planning something just for my dear friend Getou Suguru." 

Getou immediately turned around not facing the white haired boy any longer. Gojo cracked a smile. He had made his friend terribly paranoid and he didn't have to even try. 

But his mind still lingered back to the black haired girl on her mission. It wasn't a difficult mission. He glanced his blue eyes at the doorway waiting for her uptight self to walk through the door. Hurry the fuck up already. 

***POV change to Hokkaido***

Kumori was crouched, her hand to her mouth so that the cursed spirit couldn't hear her breathing. Or when had all this gone so wrong?

Two days ago she was attacked by a special grade cursed spirit, a level above her own. She had closed the curtain, trapping her and the thing inside. The only way any of them could get out would be if the other died. 

While in her crouched she thought about what were all her possible mistakes. She hadn't sensed it when she had used Surveyor the first time since entering the school grounds. That meant it must have entered from the outside, a feat that was simple enough for the curtain. It was easy to breech if it was difficult to get out. 

But the curse in itself. She'd read it before in her books. A finger bearer curse, specifically Sukuna's, birthed this type of cursed spirit. But that wasn't the whole of it. They were a cursed womb, but placed in a suspension until they had accumulated enough cursed energy to be birthed. But they couldn't just walk in here that easily. They had to stay at the place of their birth, which gives Kumori several conclusions. 

The cursed spirit had just been birthed here. Someone must have entered her curtain, placing that cursed womb here. Whoever put that thing here, knew she was here too, and finally, they were in this vicinity at this moment. 

"Calm down. Calm down. You're a grade 1. You should be able to defeat a special grade just fine." And she was, she literally had that much amount of cursed energy to do so. But she had been using it non-stop for two days now. And that cursed spirit was different from any she'd seen before. 

She'd shadowed many grade 1 sorcerers before, even been on missions where she's witnessed the exorcism of special grade curses. But the power of the one she's fighting now was on a whole nother level than anything she'd witnessed. 

That thing has not 1 but 3 of Sukuna's fingers. Whoever knew she was here knew that 1 finger wouldn't be enough to kill her. Not only that but she was also weakened and tired.
