"Megumi, you're bleeding again," you say as you quickly rush to Megumi's side. You grab his face to try and get a better look at the cut on his forehead, but he slaps your hand away.
"It's fine Y/N. Stop being so concerned about me," Megumi says as...
"Hold on for a minute, I'm gonna run to the washroom OK?" You tell Megumi as the two of you stroll through the game booth section of the park. As the sun started to set you and Megumi had broken off from the main group to walk around on your own.
You had challenged him to a few games playfully, though that quickly grew competitive considering how much you both hate to lose. The result was a bag full of stuffed animal prizes that Megumi now holds for you.
"Ah alright, I'll wait over by the tree. Though we should start heading back, the parks gonna close soon and we'll have to meet up with the others." Megumi says as you nod.
"OK, I won't be too long." You say as you rush into the washroom that's surprisingly less crowded than you expected. You quickly finish your business and rush out but get a strange feeling that there's a curse nearby.
You look around casually before your eyes notice a suspicious man walking behind the booths. You can tell he's the cause of your feeling. You glance towards the main road and contemplate grabbing Megumi first. Though with your giant bag of toys you can't imagine you'd be able to be as stealthy as you'd like.
You figure that it wouldn't hurt to at least scope out the situation before heading back to Megumi. Besides, the feeling isn't strong enough that you sense serious danger. You scoot behind the bathroom area and follow the guy as he casually swerves behind the booths.
He hasn't taken note of you but the longer you follow him the more you consider that he's not up to anything. He probably just wanted to get away from the crowd and has a smaller grade curse on him. That's what you think...up until you notice the guy's appearance change.
Instead of the slightly chubby appearance and short stature he once had, the man in front of you suddenly slims up and grows taller. Your eyes widen as long bluish-gray hair now falls past his shoulder. You've seen this guy before, except he's not a man.
"Oh? Did you follow me little cutie? You jujutsu sorcerers can't ignore your intuition huh?" The patchwork curse says as he turns to look at making you instantly halt. You had stupidly only brought a lower grade curse dagger with you since you hadn't expected to deal with anything higher than level three.
"What did you want with Megumi back at jujutsu tech? Why are you here now?" You ask threateningly as the curse as he tilts his head at you. He glances from you to the cursed dagger before chuckling.
"That tiny daggers not gonna be enough of a threat for me to tell you that information cutie." The curse says as you continue to glare at him without backing down. You're not sure what cursed technique he has, but regardless you can't let your guard down.
"Oh you're already here, seriously I can't get used to your sneaking around." The curse says to someone who you feel appears behind you. Immediately you remember this feeling of dread that washes over you. You'd fallen for the assassin's trap.
"Well fancy meeting you here Y/N. Did you have fun on your date?" A frighteningly familiar voice says as your body freezes. Why is he here? Why now? You turn around and look up into the amused green eyes of Toji.
