Toji and I kept walking. I stopped. "I sense a curse." I told him. The curse appeared in front of us with a hostage. It was a little girl. "Help me!" She cried. "Can you talk?" I asked the curse. It made noises. "Guess not." I immediately grabbed the girl and placed her in Toji's arms. I exercised the curse. I walked back to them. "Where are you from?" I asked. "School." "School?" She nodded. "There's a big scary monster there." "You can see curses?" She nodded again. "Can you describe the monster for me?" "It looked like a human. Blue hair and always angry. It wears a suit." Definitely not Sukuna. "I want you to run home to your parents okay?" She nodded as Toji placed her on her feet. She took off in the opposite direction she came from. "I bet it's at Tokyo Academy. It's a really popular school with so many students. Let's go." We headed towards the direction the girl came from. Toji grabbed my hand. It was the same feeling from when we were approaching the Zen'in Clan. I squeezed his hand, reassuring him. We kept walking until the school appeared in view. There was a strong veil over it. We walked through it and went inside of the school. The place was a bloodbath. I can hear screams in the auditorium. We kept walking until we reached there. Curses were holding multiple hostages. "There's something I need to do." I took out the knife I had earlier and cut my wrist. "What are you doing?" Toji whispered. "Drink my blood. It'll give you some of my cursed energy. Enough for you to exercise those curses." "I don't-" I placed my wrist to Toji's mouth, forcing my blood down his throat. I felt my body get weaker as he drank. I pulled away and pressed my lips to my cut. I healed it. "Now go exercise those freaks and escort everyone out." He nodded and took off. "Hey blue hair!" I called. He looked at me while he still had someone by their throat, dangling on stage. I got closer. "Takahashi. I've heard about you. It's a disgrace that Ryomen Sukuna was sealed away by you. He was always weak." He spat. He bit into the boy's neck and dropped him. He sniffed the air. "You blood smells delicious." Instantly, he was in front of me. He grabbed me by my throat. He was definitely a lot stronger and faster than me. I heard the gun go off. The blue haired guy caught the bullet. "Ah. Another Zen'in. I thought I finished you all off when I killed that sea urchin haired brat." He put me down as he plucked the bullet into the wall. "Guess it's my lucky day." Toji charged after the curse. I attacked from behind but the curse managed to dodged us both. He laughed. "You inferior creatures are no match for me. Not even the great twelve eyes can defeat me." I took out my contacts. I couldn't make him foresee his death. This is bad. We truly were doomed. "You see, I was already warned by Sukuna that you make people foresee their deaths before it happens. I, however can block that." His hand was in his pocket as he approached me. I dodged away from him. "You killed my son and my nephew!" I yelled. I was getting angrier. He laughed. "Both of their bloods were delicious. I'm guessing that Takahashi brat didn't make it. Oh well. It was expected." My mind started boggling with plans on how to defeat this thing. "Domain Expansion: Prison Void." He said. Toji and I were trapped in his domain expansion. I tried to lay out mine. "No way." I whispered. Mine couldn't top his. This curse was definitely a problem. He kicked Toji, who went flying. "Toji!" I yelled. I felt as the curse grabbed and tossed me. "Come on. Fight me! This is boring." The curse complained. I coughed up blood. "Fushiguro you good?" I called. "Yeah. You?" "Never better!" We got up and charged towards the curse. We couldn't land hits at all. Each plan I thought of resulted in instant death for me. My mind started flashing with faint memories from when I was a child. Someone was reading a story to me. I shook that thought out of my head. The curse punched my stomach and I tumbled down. I coughed. "Y/N!" Toji screamed. "I'm alright!" I looked up to see the curse had Toji in the air by his throat. "Put him down!" I shouted, out of breath. He swung his arm and Toji went flying. I felt as the curse stepped on my back. I screamed. "What's wrong? I thought you were the strongest Sorcerer? Can't beat me?" I saw Toji charge once again and surprisingly, tackled the curse off of me. I struggled to get up. "Y/N stay down!" The curse kicked Toji. He stomped Toji's ribs. "No!" I screamed. I picked up Toji's gun and shot another around. He dodged and I grabbed him. He grabbed my arm and tossed me but I landed on my feet. I increased my speed, grabbed his face and slammed the curse to the floor. He laughed. "There it is! Give me more!" He got up quickly like nothing happened. He grabbed my throat and slammed me to the floor as well. I heard another round went off. The bullet went into the curse's body. He coughed up blood. He took it out and laughed. "These sting like a bee. What a nuisance you are Zen'in." He slapped Toji, which sent him across the room. How can we defeat this monster? His domain expansion is top tier. It's an actual prison. I can't even do anything. I was getting weaker by the second. The memory of when I was a child again, appeared in my mind. It was the story of Chikao. The blue haired curse. "He was ruthless. Drinking human blood including sorcerers. He's over six thousand years old. He once was a prisoner who let a curse feed off him, turning him into one. If he ever escapes, the world is doomed. Nobody was able to exercise him. The only way to kill him properly is to do an exercising ritual. No one has ever done it as it would cost you your life. Get a lock of his hair with your blood and place them in the demonic symbol circle. You then set the circle on fire and he burns straight to hell immediately. You then die shortly afterwards." My memory told me. That's it! I gripped some of his hair as he was occupied with Toji and grabbed my knife. I carved the symbol into the floor. I looked up to see Toji completely defeated. I cut my hand and squeezed my blood on top of his hair in the circle. "What are you doing?!" The curse asked me. I pulled out Shinosuke's lighter. "No don't!" The curse was immediately in front of me. He grabbed my throat. I squeezed more blood into the carving and tossed the lighter into the circle. The curse burst into flames. He dropped me and I coughed. "Y/N!" Toji yelled. He lifted me up and held me in his arms. "We did it." I coughed. "It's going to be okay. We'll get you to the hospital and you can recover." I shook my head. "I can't be saved Toji. T-That ritual to kill him needed me to take my life. I guess we can't get married." "No! This can't be happening. I can't lose you too. Why did you give your life away idiot?!" I felt as his tears hit my face. I smiled. "You can always start over. Get married and have kids." "I don't want to start over. I want you! I want our family back. You're my one and only. Please don't say nonsense like that. We'll get through this. Just hang on!" I felt as he got up. He placed me on his back and carried me as he head out. "Hang in there baby. I'll get you to the hospital." "I'm tired Toji." I said. "Don't go to sleep Y/N please. I need you. I'm so sorry this is happening. You don't deserve this." Toji apologized as we were outside. "We're not far from this hospital Y/N hang in there baby. Be strong." I started to see Shinosuke. Megumi and Hoshiyomi were holding Naoki and Naori. "I-I see them Toji." "Who?" "My family." "Y/N no! Don't say that." "It's okay. I love you so much Toji. Don't ever forget that." "I love you too. For infinity." Toji's voice became faint. Shinosuke held his hand out and I took it. He embraced me in his arms. He kissed me deeply. I rest my head on his chest as he held me in his arms. "I've missed you." He murmured as he stroked my hair. I smiled. It was the first intimacy we've ever had.
