Itadori snatched his friends out of the curse's hands. The curse turned its attention to Itadori as you tossed your bottles to the side, some glasses breaking or spilling ink. You curled your fist, your curse energy ablazing on your hands as both of you charged at the curse, landing a solid punch at it. The curse exploded to pieces, all of what remained landed on the ground.

"Oh thank god." You took a sigh of relief as you uncurled your aching fist.

Megumi walked towards Itadori, rolling his shoulder around, clearly aching as well from hitting a curse with his bare hands. "Normally i'd be pissed— But you didn't do too bad." He rasped.

"I'm pissed!" You quickly said after him. "Made me waste my damn ink.." You held your hand towards where you threw your bottles. The remaining ink that was on the ground slowly slithered towards you like it had a mind of its own. It raised from the ground and suddenly hardened, taking the shape of a long rod as you caught it mid air. "On top of that I had to punch it?!" You slammed the rod down in front of you before pointing it at Itadori as he glanced down at the rod then back at you. "I oughta make you buy me more!"

"What!?" Itadori said, confused before standing up while holding a girl in his arms. He looked over your shoulders, his attention being brought to the animals that were feasting. "Why are those things eating the curse?"

You glanced over your shoulder yourself, seeing Megumi's dogs chew at the curse like they hadn't eaten in years. Dahara also picked chunks, feeding herself as well.

"Huh," You said as you glanced back at Itadori. "You can see them?"

"Normally you can't see curses. There's exceptions when you're facing death or in a situation like this." Megumi told him. "Are you not scared?"

Itadori looked down, putting thought into that question before answering. "Well I was.. But did you know that people really die?"

"Wha?" You tilted your head at that comment, just as confused as Megumi.

Itadori readjusted the slipping girl from his arms as he was about to explain what he really meant, but caught the cursed finger that slipped out of the girl's pocket. He examined it carefully, turning and squinting his eyes. "Is this the—"

"Special grade cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna." You finished his sentence for him

"Ryom?-"

"Enough with the questions. Its dangerous so," You held out your hand. "Gimmie."

"Yeah, yeah." Itadori mumbled as he took one last glance at the finger.

Y/n! You glanced over in Daharas direction as she looked at you. Above you!

You looked up seeing the ceiling cave in with the imprint of a hand reaching down on the both of you. You shoved Itadori back from where the curse was before yelling, "Run!"

The ceiling caved in on top of you as parts of concrete hit and thrown your back against the wall. The hit was so hard it knocked you out for a moment. Your rod immediately liquified and dropped to the ground and Dahara liquified as she also dispersed.

"Y/N!" Megumi yelled as the dust cleared. Revealing your limp body leaning against the wall with your head hung low. You groaned, clearly out of it.

The curse turned to you again, reaching over to grab you, but Megumi quickly sprinted in front of you. The curse grabbed at Megumi, gripping him tightly as he was held up in the air.

Your vision was blurred and your whole body felt numb. Another loud sound off concrete smashing is what finally got you to snap out of whatever you were in. "Megumi?!" You yelled out. frantically looking around you as you slowly stood up. You groaned in pain as you saw the gaping hole in the wall. You peered over the ledge to see Megumi and the curse facing each other. "Shit!" You cursed as you stood up straight, getting ready to jump down so you could help him.

"Protect Iguchi and Sasaki for me! I'm gonna help him!" Itadori yelled as he passed by you, jumping out from the hole and landing on another part of the schools ceiling.

"Hold on!" You reached out to grab his jacket so you could yank him back, but you were a second too late. You groaned in frustration before turning back around. "Dahara, come forth! You yelled again as you glared at the puddle of ink that was on the ground.

Dahara emerged from the ink again. She quickly trotted up to you, glaring your body up and down in concerned. 

Y/n, are you alright? She asked as her eyes flickered all around you as she scanned for any visible wounds. You need to limit your movement before you damage anything further.

"No. I'm alright." You quickly said as you tossed more bottles of ink to the ground and broke them. You held your hand out again as the ink liquefied and hardened to a rod. "Protect those two. Theyre hurt."

What about you? Dahara was quick to ask.

"I'm gonna go help out. Dont let anything happen to them. If another curse comes you let me know and ill summon Eleos." You told her before jumping out yourself. You didnt have time to protect them. You needed to do everything in your will to help Megumi out.

Itadori was kicking and punching at the cursed spirit as Megumi watched in disbelief. You ran towards Megumi and crouched down, setting your rod down to get a look at his face. His face was a bloody mess. "Shit! Your bleeding pretty bad."

"I'm fine." He rasped.

You both glanced over as Itadori was tossed to the ground and slid towards the both of you. He moaned in pain as he held himself up and glanced over at the two of you.

"It's no use for you to fight it. Curses can only be exorcised by another curse." You told Itadori.

He sat up with an aggravated look. "You could have told me that sooner?!"

"No," You grabbed your rod before standing up. "I told you to run! You'll just be getting in our way if you have no cursed energy." You glanced back over at the large curse who stood there, drooling and making all sorts of indescribable monster-like noises.

"So that's it huh? I just need some curse energy?" Itadori dug in his pocket and pulled out the cursed finger and held it to his mouth.

"NO!" You yelled as you tried to stop him.

"YOU IDIOT, DONT!" Megumi also yelled, but it was too late.

He swallowed the finger whole with no hesitation. You gave yourself more distance from Itadori, worried about what would happen next.

He would die for sure, he was basically consuming a lethal poison.

But there was a chance.

A one in a million chance that he would survive.

The curse lunged at Itadori at full speed. But Itadori suddenly swiped his arm in the air, destroying the curse without even touching it. You stood there, in shock and slight fear.

But it was a worse case scenario,

Because he did, get that one percent.
