I was in bed with Toji. His arm was around me. He intertwined our fingers together. "I love you so much Y/N." He murmured after kissing my forehead. My phone started ringing. I looked at it, confused. "It's Gojo." I announced as I sat up. I got out of bed. "Hey, what's up Gojo?" I asked as I got dressed. "Y/N....It's Megumi and Hoshiyomi. He was killed by the special grade curse. Hoshiyomi is in a coma. His chances of surviving is slim to none." He replied. I dropped the phone. My whole body started shaking. "Y/N what's wrong?" Toji asked. "Y/N can you hear me?" Gojo asked. I was speechless. My mind couldn't process but understand what Gojo said. "No no this can't be happening." I punched the wall, leaving a hole in it. "Y/N what the hell?! What's going on?!" Toji freaked. I picked up my phone. "We'll be there soon." I hung up on Gojo. "Get dressed. We-We have to meet Gojo." "I can't meet him, he'll kill me." "That doesn't matter. Listen to me Toji...." I let out a sigh. "I failed as a mother. The special grade curse k-killed Megumi and put Hoshiyomi on life support." I choked out. "What?! Oh my god. No no no no!" Toji immediately got redressed. I grabbed my phone and keys. I flew down the stairs with Toji hot on my heels. I locked the door and we hopped in my car. I sped off. The tires where screeching with each sharp turn I made. I pulled up to Jujutsu High and we jumped out. I locked the car and we rushed in. Ieri, Ijichi and Gojo were in the room. Megumi's body was on the table. I rushed over. "No no no. Wake up. Come on baby wake up! You said you were going to come back. You promised!" I yelled, shaking his lifeless body. I was hysterical. I felt as someone grabbed me. "No let me go! He's going to wake up. He has to!" I screamed. Toji gripped me and spun me. He wrapped his arms tightly around me. I cried uncontrollably. "I-I didn't get to say goodbye!" I wailed. "I-I know." Toji said. His voice was cracking. I kept crying in his arms. "Y/N..." I heard Gojo's voice. I looked at him and wiped my tears. "This curse is a lot stronger than Ryomen Sukuna. He cannot be sealed. He needs to be exercised. But I don't think even you can handle it." Gojo continued. "I'm going to kill it. I'm going to exercise that bastard even if it kills me!" I shouted. My body was filled with rage all over again. I walked over to Megumi's body. "He lived up to his name. He truly was a blessing. To me. To Hoshiyomi. To his siblings. To all of us." I kissed Megumi's forehead. "Goodbye, my son." I walked out and headed to the recovery room. Hoshiyomi was in there. I sat down in the chair next to him. I held his hand. "I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is why I didn't want you in Jujutsu High. Why did you have to go? You could've had a normal life." I sniffed as tears streamed down my face. "I-I'm going to find the curse that did this to you and Megumi. So please live. For me. For your mom. For your nephews. For yourself." I felt his hand move. I thought I was dreaming. I looked up to see him staring at me. "Y/N...you're the b-best aunt I've ever had. I-I don't regret being a Jujutsu Sorcerer." I got up and hugged him. "Please stop talking. You need to rest and get better." "D-Did I do well as a Takahashi Clan member?" He asked. I nodded. "Yes you did. I'm so proud of you. And I'll heal your wounds. Just get some rest first." A smile spread across his face. He stopped moving. He flat lined. "Hoshiyomi?" I shook him. "Ieri!" I screamed. She came in shortly after. Nurses came in. "We need you to step out." "Is he going to be okay?!" I struggled as someone grabbed me. "Come on Y/N." I heard Toji's voice. I kept struggling. "I need to be in there!" I felt as Toji lifted me and tossed me over his shoulder. I started hitting his back. "Put me down!" I screamed. He placed me on my feet shortly after. He pulled me into a hug. His body was shaking. "He's going to be okay. He's strong." Toji encouraged. "I can't believe this is happening. Where did I go wrong? They were doing so well." "This isn't your fault Y/N please don't blame yourself. It was out of their hands." I heard footsteps approaching. I looked to see Ieri. She shook her head no. "I'm sorry Y/N." I dropped to the floor and cried hysterically. I started screaming louder than a banshee. Toji held me from behind. He too was in tears. My life felt like a horror movie. There was no way that this was happening. If I had known, I wouldn't have let Megumi leave. I told him to come back to me. I expected him to come home. I wanted to make them a nice dinner for another successful mission. My heart was shattered. My body was going numb. I couldn't feel anything at all. My phone started ringing. Shinosuke was calling.
