It seems that the energy and adrenaline from escaping had taken a toll on her.

Yukiko's breathing was steady, though her vision was foggy.

Blood was seeping through her once pristine shirt, to her vest. Making a noticeable smudge on the side. Her sleeves were ripped and small scars litter across her arms.

Her body was aching, from the fatigue and from the fight she had with Akutagawa and the snipers.

Her black coat long gone.

She leaned her back onto the pillar of the red building, attempting to calm her beating heart.

She couldn't grab her phone since she was trying to stop her bleeding.

That man- Nakahara Chuuya.

Why did he let her escape?

Countless possibilities ran through her head, she felt herself slowly lose consciousness.

The fatigue and the pain catching up to her.

She could faintly see a white haired male panic asking her something she could not comprehend.

A pair of arms carried her into the very building she was leaning against.

All she could recognize was Mr. Kunikida's blurry figure before everything went black.

~~~~~~

A man in traditional wear was seen conversing with beings not seen by the regular human mind.

Though no one pays mind to him.

"Was it really necessary to use one of Sukuna's fingers just to get that information?" A volcano topped curse asked.

"At the end of the day, we got the information we needed." The man replied.

The man known as Getou Suguru crossed the street and entered a small restaurant where a waiter greeted him.

"Welcome! A table for one?"

The raven haired man smiled, "No, I'm actually waiting for someone, a table for two if you don't mind."

~~~~~

She was met with the view of a ceiling as soon as she opened her eyes.

The clean scent of alcohol. Pristine beds.

Yukiko woke up from a dreamless sleep, and was met with place that somewhat reminded her of a hospital?

"Good you're awake." An oddly familiar voice sighed.

Yukiko slowly sat up, moving away from the comfort of the pillow on her hospital bed.

"Kunikida-san?"

The spectacled man closed the notebook in his hands. Turning his attention to the brown haired girl.

"You gave Atsushi quite a scare when he saw you almost dead in front of the agency train girl."

"What in the world happened to you?"

The girl froze, reminded of the situation she was in before. The memory of her mission, the fight and her escape all came crashing back to her like a bus that descended a road without breaks.

Immediately she blurted out gibberish, speaking before she could give herself time to think.

Although by some miracle Kunikida had understood the message she wanted to relay.

"So you're here on a mission like last time." Kunikida summarized "But, you were attacked by Akutagawa of the Port Mafia, but was saved by the executive Nakahara Chuuya."
