I woke up to the sound of my phone, vibrating like hell beside my pillow. I noticed it was only ten in the morning that I was woken up.

Incoming Call

Satobitch

- - - 

I sighed and swiped the phone. "Oi, I still need sleep, you know."

"It's ten," Gojo said over the phone.

"Duh," I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?" I roll out of the bed and put on my slippers.

"Somethin's about to happen in Shibuya City," he said. "In Shibuya? I live near there remember?" I told him.

"That's why get up and then meet me near that book store you usually go to. I'm already there," he hangs up, making me throw the phone into the bed.

I put on my usual attire and my Black Scarf.

When I held the doorknob, I realized my phone started to vibrate on the covers of my bed.

I take it, finding a call from an unknown caller.

I swiped it and put it on my ear. "Hello?-" I nearly dropped my phone when I heard the person over the phone.

"Hello, (Y/N)-san. It's been a while since we've talked, huh?" Uraume said.

---

My legs carried me to my favorite book store. Crowds of people in Halloween suits wandered from about.

"I wish I have more time to talk with you, (Y/N). I suggest you not go to Shibuya today," she said.

"Why not? And how did you know I'm here? Wait, no. Where are you?" Questions from the past revived from the loneliest parts of my brain.

"I'm...sorry, I can't tell you. Just don't, okay?" Then she hung up.

"What took you so long?" Gojo chirped.

I stare at the white-haired man and looked at my phone. "Something came up a while ago. What's with the Shibuya thing?"

---

"What the...?" I watch the crowds of people compiled inside Hikarie Shinq's B1F. Gojo squatted and squinted at everyone below us.

"Yeesh! What a mess..."

He started to walk over people's heads, so I decided to teleport on the top before he could come at me.

"How'd ya get here, (N/N)?" Gojo asks beside me.

"After you stepping on people's heads," I replied.

He nods instead then mumbled, "Hm...I think I get what they're after." I lift my eyebrow. I lost my balance a second later so I grabbed Gojo's hand for support.

"You're hand feels warm..." Gojo says.

"...It's not..." I said flustered.

I was about to let go of his hand, but he slipped his hand back.

After a short look-about, we decided to jump on the rails and wait for the curses to come.

Why hasn't he let of my arm?

"Gojo-kun...My hand..." I pleaded. He smiles and lets go.

"No excuses if you lose to me again, okay?" he says to the curse somewhere in the crowd. A second later, three cursed spirits appeared in front of us.

One looked like a brat. The other one had a volcano as a head. Or probably as a brain. The third one looked like an overgrown tree with horns.

"Don't worry about us! Just be sure to have your first-ever excuse!" volcano-boy-on a stick said in return.

"Don't bother. We're not going anywhere," he says.

"We?" the volcano-boy-on-a-stick looked behind Gojo and everywhere near him. I kicked the tree cursed spirit.

"Speed times three," I mumbled. His or probably her back started to crumble and was tossed far away; I wasn't able to hit Gojo with it, unfortunately.

Volcano-boy-on-a-stick scoffed and had the gateline open.

The people who were pressed to each other started to scatter inside the rails. Shit. And that's where I realized...

...I lost Gojo somewhere inside this huge crowd.

No! Focus on the job right now! Follow that brat-face.

Heads from people started rolling on the floor. Attacked by blood? Bingo. He's nearby. I found his hair sticking up.

I traveled smoothly and quietly towards him.

"Hello, I believe you're the third brother I heard about from the two the other day," I smiled kindly at him.

His eyes widened and backed away in caution. "Piercing blood!" he said. An arrow made from blood shot towards me but it stopped mid-way.

"Are you the one who killed my brothers?" he asked.

"Yep, sorry 'bout that but they were bothering me so I had them silenced," I said.

His expression tensed and mumble something. Orbs of blood shot at me but were destroyed at the time they were made.

"Sorry, bud," I sprinted to him at the speed of light and stabbed him in the gut.

One exorcised.

I heard an explosion nearby, telling me that Gojo had exorcised another one. Holy cow. I need to go after him before he causes any more damage.

I found him sprinting after volcano-boy-without-a-stick.

Shit. The crowd is already backing away from him. They should probably understand the situation right now; despite this new wild goose chase.

Volcano-boy-without-a-stick blended in the crowd. I could hardly know where he is right now. Though, I did know where Gojo is from his strange aura.

People and this wild goose chase bumped into each other multiple times, that the narrow path I was walking in started to give me space.

A familiar presence stopped me from continuing any forward.
