𝐘/𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐌 as the marks slid from her skin, rolling off like water. She glanced behind her with a smirk. Kugisaki's focus was immense, meaning she would not stop until she succeeded. Itadori's greatest weapon was sincerity. He possesses physical prowess and a fighting sense greater than anyone Y/n had met before.
She didn't regret leaving them on their own now.
She slid down the side of the mountain, dirt, and rocks jabbing into her palm as she drug it behind her. She hopped onto the ground, looking around for the black-haired teenager. She heaved a sigh when she didn't immediately spot him, meaning she would have to look around for him.
"Good grief, kid," She muttered to herself. She stepped over rocks, eyes scanning the area as she searched for the boy. When she did find him, she saw a figure standing near him. Instantly, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.
"Oi!" She yelled, breaking into a sprint. "Who the hell are you?!" She stepped over the teen, making the figure take three steps back at her sudden appearance.
"What's this?" The figure raised its head, revealing a pair of silver eyes. "Still caring for children, Y/n?"
Her e/c widened, as she was quick to react. "W-what?!" She yelled, lacing her fingers together in front of her, her index fingers pressed against one another. The white snake rose, curling around both her and the teen boy.
"My, my," He chuckled, taking another step back. "I have no intentions of hurting you or the boy. I was simply curious."
Her gaze was shaky, breathing unsteady as she gazed at him. "H-How...how are you still alive?!" The snake hissed, matching the sorcerer's aggression.
"I figured you would be even a little happy to see me again, Y/n," He chuckled.
"I would never!" She growled. "Why are you here, Rokuro?"
"It's like I said before," He said, smiling. "I merely came out of curiosity."
"Leave," She stated firmly. "Or I'll kill you."
"Again?" His grin widened.
Y/n felt a sharp burning in her left eye and winced with pain. She rose a hand to her face, taking a step back as it began to throb and sting. She felt a warm liquid seeping through her fingers, dropping onto the ground as he suddenly flashed in front of her. He grabbed her hair and forced her neck up, forcing her hand away.
"Hmm," He hummed in thought as he stared down at her eye. Her sclera had turned black, like spilled ink, and her iris had gone from e/c to bright yellow, and her pupil had morphed into a cat-like slit. Blood seeped from the corners of her eye as she winced with pain. "My presence still triggers it."
"Wh-what's goin...Sensei!" Fushiguro yelled, jolting up with a startled gasp. Her eyes widened, before narrowing.
"G-get away from here!" She barked.
"That won't be necessary,"
Y/n cried out in pain, lips parting as the burning pain increased in her eye.
"I'm done here."
He threw her back on the ground and vanished.
"Sensei--!"
"Stay back, Fushiguro!" She yelled, rolling onto her stomach as she turned her head away from him. She pushed herself up on her hands and knees, crying out as another wave of pain racked her body. It felt like someone was stabbing a hundred needles into her eye at once. Her body curled in as she held a hand to her face.
"Sensei!" Fushiguro cried, ignoring her as he knelt beside her. He could see the blood dripping from her hand and onto the ground under her. "Y/n-sensei!"
"Fu...shi..gu...ro," He watched as her opposite eye rolled into the back of her head before her hand dropped and her body slumped forward.
...
She flinched in her slumber, her face contorting into pain before she slowly began to peel her eyes open. She was met with darkness, her eyelashes brushing against a cool cloth. She groaned softly, raising a hand to her pounding head. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep again until the door burst open.
"Wake up, Y/n-chan!"
Her chest rose and fell heavily as the blindfold was ripped from her eyes, and a pair of bright sky blue eyes staring back down at her. She shoved his face away and rolled off the bed, reaching into the drawer near her table. She walked towards the balcony in her apartment, swinging the door open before walking out.
"Picking up bad habits again?" He teased, watching her place the end of the cigarette in her mouth before flicking open the lighter with a glare. She took a long drag before blowing the smoke off the edge.
"It's smoking or jumping off the highest fucking building in Tokyo," She replied in a tired tone. "How long was I out?"
"A little under a day and a half," He leaned against the railing beside her. "Ieiri had a hay day trying to get your eye back to normal."
Y/n unconsciously touched under her left eye before letting her hand drop back down. "He was after the finger Fushiguro had," She said quietly. "He had to be. He wouldn't just show up 'out of curiosity."
"Well, he isn't getting that one," Gojo said.
"Did it get sealed away?" She asked, taking another long drag.
"Nope," Gojo said, taking the cigarette from her mouth before tossing it over the edge of the balcony. "Itadori ate it."
She looked over at him with a strained expression. "Please tell me you're joking."
"No," He chuckled, making her hang her head with a sigh.
"That's another thing I have to explain now," She groaned. "Thanks, Satoru," She huffed sarcastically.
"That's what I'm here for," He grinned, watching her walk back into the apartment. "Oh? No pants?"
"You're probably the one who took them off, pervert," She said.
"Now what makes you think that was me?" He asked, trailing after her as she walked into the kitchen.
"I have a keen sense of smell, Satoru. My room reeks of you. You've been here all day," She said, reaching into the fridge. "I'm not going in tomorrow."
"Ieiri already let Yaga know," He said, watching her snap the top of the beer bottle before returning to the living room.
"I should marry her,"
"Well, that's not fair to me," He huffed with a grin.
