Megumi's P. O. V
"Yup, this looks like the kind of place that a curse would hide," Kugisaki says as she, Itadori, and I stare up at the small triplex that we were led to via Y/N's find your phone app. The building looks as if it were formerly a bright turquoise colour, but now the disgusting mould-coloured paint is chipping away dating the building drastically. There's no telling if Y/N is being kept here, but at this point, I'm willing to flip Tokyo upside down if I have to.
"You'd think they'd take her to a place less shady looking. This place reeks of cursed energy, though I guess that's why there doesn't seem to be any people living in the houses here. This place looks long abandoned." Itadori comments as we glance down the street at the other equally as worn down houses. On the way through this residential area, we had to exorcise several lower-grade curses. Either Itadori's right and everyone left because of the flux of cursed energy, or the old residents are the reason for the curses surrounding this place.
"At least we won't have to deal with outsiders interfering. In a place like this, no innocents can get hurt in the crossfire if we do end up getting in a brawl. Regardless we should remain vigilant, we don't want a repeat of what happened at that school." I comment as Kugisaki and Itadori shiver at the reminder.
"Well, we're stronger now than we were back then. We gotta go in there for Y/N's sake. Should we split up?" Kugisaki asks while looking at me. It's taking a lot of energy to even withhold from barging straight inside there myself. Since Y/N doesn't have any cursed energy I can't tell if she's truly here or not, but I don't want to waste any more time standing around wondering if we're at the right location or not.
"You two stick together, I'll go on my own. That way I can use my technique freely and Kugisaki can make sure that Sukuna doesn't try to come out. We'll prioritize getting Y/N instead of fighting the special grade or my dad directly." I say as the other two nod.
"Alright, don't freeze up this time alright?" Itadori says as I glare at him.
"That won't happen a second time. If Y/N is here then we're getting her out safely." I say matter-of-factly as the three of us approach the decaying triplex. I take a deep breath and pause for a few seconds before opening the door and stepping inside. I expected to find the main staircase area leading to the different apartments. However, instead, I find myself in a long dark hallway.
"So it is a domain like at that school, guys stay close this time we don't want to get separated and..." I stop talking abruptly after realizing that I hear no footsteps behind me. I quickly whip around to see that Itadori and Kugisaki aren't behind me, not only that but the door I just walked through is gone as well.
"Here we go again," I mutter before sighing deeply and turning back around and heading down the hallway. Though this at least confirms one thing. Y/N is being kept here, which means that locating her is my primary objective. I'm confident that Kugisaki and Itadori can handle themselves if they're together, if not I'm still confident that they'd be crazy enough to take on the special grade by themselves if forced to.
If the special grade felt the need to put up a domain then there are going to be obstacles leading up to Y/N's location. I pick up the pace as I run down the hall and summon my demon dogs to search for any sign of a door or something to destroy the domain.
"Find Y/N," I instruct them as they waste no time hastily racing down the hall. I feel my blood begin to boil as thoughts of my father that I pushed away slowly pour back into my mind's eye. If Y/N is in anything but pristine condition I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back again my father or the special grade. Though I told myself that I'd never use that technique. I won't gamble with my life anymore now that I promised to give Y/N a better future. I'll continue to strengthen and widen my domain until I no longer need to rely on the Zenin technique as a trump card.
