"|y.n|!!"

The memory stayed fresh in your mind, sight in haze when you were pushed to the side, debris slashing your skin and head hit the ground. You saw how Mahito's hand made in contact with someone, a grin displayed to his face.

"no.."

An ear-splitting scream echoes the place before it completely fade away, you could feel the tears stream down your face, "|y.n|! Hime-" Yoshino's figure changed halfway his yell. "JUNPEI!!"

Illusion, how you wished it is simply just an illusion.

Your eyes trained over the fragment that was left of her, of Himekawa.

"she can't even do anything right.."

The voices, they're scary.. "my dear |y.n|, you are the precious piece of me, don't listen to them hun. You're just too special for them to understand." She giggled, patting her stomach.

"Live, for the both of us."

Mind shutting down from the distress, the suffering you are feeling is unbearable for your body to comprehend.Before losing consciousness, the sound of laughter stayed in your mind, "Ha? I have no reason to kill that girl, she's no threat and just the same as me!"

There was a drop, like a needle touching the shallow waters, ripples acting once it made in contact. The sound of silence was ear-splitting and unbearable.

"I'm |l.n| |y.n|."

"Yoshino Junpei."

It was sweet while it lasted, no one even knew that dangerous things were to happen. Two teenagers who only sought after peace and a mended heart, two teen who thought that they have all the time in the world to profess their appreciation and love towards each other.

"cute."

"huh? eh did you just called me cute?"

The feeling of comfort rushes through them when they are at arms length, it was funny, really, for they seek the other for it despite knowing that the other is just as broken as they are. It's like, they're the only one left in this world.

"You did nothing wrong, it's alright."

"I'm here."

He won't leave, he even said. Not until you found the one for you. But it was him, Yoshino, he is the one that your heart craves for.

Back hitting the water as you felt yourself drown in your empty thoughts, its feels as though you were in a different dimension. Where am I? Fluttering your eyes open was proven easy, seeing the billions of stars littered all across the place was now visible.

It was...

You sat up, beside you was Yoshino who stare up at the beautiful sky, as if sensing your gaze, he looked at you, showing that same smile that had you falling hard for him. "Junpei.."

"|y.n|." He had open his arms for you to jump into. His scent calming your palpitating heart down. "I thought I had lose you.." Arms grip him tighter, the thought of him letting go of the strings and leaving you all alone is terrifying.

"Don't leave me." But there was no answer coming from him, "Junpei, promise me, please. Tell me you won't leave me." Again, there was no words left muttered, "I love you, I love you.. I cannot bare to imagine you leaving me behind, all alone."

He pushed you away, holding you by the shoulder before showing you an expression that made you break down into tears, "I won't leave you. I'll always be with you." Thumb brushing the stray tears away, "I love you too."

Like an hourglass sand, time had run out and he disappears like a brushing wind leaving you alone to scream his name desperately.

"JUNPEI!"

They let you in, everyone leaving you alone to let out your grief and sorrow, seeing him covered in white sheets. "No, no, no No- Don't leave me alone!"

Knees touching the cold floor of the doctor's office as you cry your heart out. Itadori looked away, but even if he can't see you, he can hear the dejection and misery that you scream on. And it pains him greatly, It was like he had come back to the place where his grandfather had died, the ache is so unbearable for him.

You cried, shaking the boy lightly, mind not being able to comprehend because of the pooling depression within. "Junpei... You said you wouldn't leave me..."

Itadori walked over, putting a hand on your shaking shoulder as they drop in despair. Seeing your broken look with tears streaming down your eyes while they remained trained on the ravenette's frame.

The pink haired boy embrace you, hoping to share yours and his sorrow, offering a shoulder of comfort as he cried as well. "We'll get him back, we will avenge him, I promise."

You kneeled on the gravestone, there, engraved, Yoshino Nagi and beside hers, Himekawa Rei.

Vision clouds as you laid the flowers atop and lit a candle. The incense emit a light smoke that dances over their picture. "I'm sorry things ended this way.. You were, a nice companion, Hime.." If she had heard you, you were sure she'd be scowling at you for merely calling her a companion rather than a friend before breaking into fits of hysteric giggles.

A warm hand was placed on top of your shoulder, it gave a silent comfort as you clutch his hand back, a stray tear rolled down your cheek. "They're good people, although.. they didn't deserved it, all we could do is send them prayers, for them to be in peace and together.."

Itadori kneeled beside you, "let it out |y.n|, no one will judge.."

"I'm alright, rather than wallowing up in self pity and sorrow, I'd use this to strengthen myself instead.. It's hard, but I'll get there.." Your fist clenched, teeth gritting against each other, "I'll make him pay.."

"yeah.. we'll make him pay."

"I'll be paying it back to him a hundred times!"

"Yeah!"

Itadori look at the gravestone, a tender look in his eyes. Yoshino Junpei. "We'll be going now," you followed, placing blue hyacinth and lilies on top. "Junpei."

"Are you guys ready? We'll be meeting your fellow teammates today!" Gojo exclaimed, looking back to the two of you, waving a finger before walking away while humming a song of his own.

"Ah! wait for me, Gojo-sensei!"

Perhaps, this will prove as the start of your new journey. To live freely and start anew, to get back to Mahito as promised. |l.n| |y.n| now left behind. You're now somebody new. No longer, will your past hold you back.

Wait for me, Junpei.
