                        Itadori's P.o.v
I laid on the ground bloodied and beat and Mahito kept talking and talking.

"How the hell did you think you stood a chance of winning against me? You didn't even realize it. Tell me something Itadori. Have you ever took a moment and counted up all the curses that you've killed?"

I didn't speak, my eyes were shut and I couldn't do anything.

"It's no right? Me neither! Like I give a shit about how many people I've killed. After a while I'll forget about you too!"

I heard somebody clap and my body move one place to another.

Todo?!

I opened my eyes and Todou was fixing his leather jacket and then spoke.

"The sound of the Gion Shoja bells Ringing. It echos the impermanence of everything. The color of the sala flowers, and reveals the truth that prosperous must decline. However! We are the exceptions!"

He smiled and looked at Mahito.

A girl came running in and yelled Todou's name.

"I've finished treating the girl, the horned girl told me she stopped the bleeding which helped a lot. She's probably dead, so please don't make it seem like it's my fault later on, if she passes. Enough talk now, and help my brother."

Their voices were muffled but I could still make out what they were saying.

"Wake up brother! Our battle together has just begun! Todou."

I said that with a shaky voice.

I rolled over and heard footsteps.

"I can't do it anymore. It's not just Kugisaki. Nanami is also dead."

I covered my face still trembling.

"Sukuna killed so many people! I tried to help more people but it didn't work!"

I stared at the ground the guilt and sorrow that I felt overflowed.

"I'm nothing more than a murderer! What I thought was a goal was nothing more than a useless excuse to make myself feel better! I can't forgive myself!"

Because of you. People will die.

Those words put an unbearable weight onto my shoulders, and I couldn't move from where I was at.

                        Todou's P.o.v
As Itadori was sobbing on the ground I watched as a boy with orange hair run over.

Denji. He must be helping Itadori.

He came over and looked down at Itadori and then at me.

We both heard running footsteps coming towards us.

We look over and it was Mahito barreling towards us.

His arm was a sharp crab like thing and he swung at us.

I clapped and made it behind him and kicked him hard in the face.

He flung towards Nitta but I didn't worry about her.

Denji was about to go after him when he realized something.

"I don't have enough blood to fully use my chainsaws! What do you mean?! I need more blood! I lost too much during the other fights!"

Mahito stopped himself a few yards back from Itadori and I and was laughing.

I stood in front of Itadori and Denji was next to me now.

"Itadori, you're a man amongst men. Never limit yourself with narrow mindedness! We are jujutsu Sorcerers or with Denji Devil Hunters! Kugisaki, Mr. Nanami, all of our other allies. Together we're jujutsu sorcerers and devil hunters. As we live on with life, our friends who have passed still stay with us, and weren't truly defeated! It's not about all the sins or punishments, once we decided to become jujutsu sorcerers or devil hunters we were not limited to such misfortunes! Looking for or finding meaning in the logic of death can at times defile the memories good or bad of the ones who have passed! Even so! What have they intrusted you with Itadori?! You don't have to answer right now, until you do find you answer keep moving and never stop! That's the punishment us Jujustu sorcerers must bear!"

                      Itadori's P.o.v
Todou's words sunk deep into me and I slowly started to get up.

Nitta was healing me a little bit and Denji was next to me.

Todou already ran towards Mahito to fight him.

"I've used my cursed technique on you ready Itadori. Your wounds that you've endured with these past battles won't get any worse from here. It doesn't mean that they're heal, they just won't get worse, so be careful because you can still take more damage."

She squatted next to me and whispered in my ear.

"I've done the same with Kugisaki. The horned girl who stopped the bleeding helped a little bit. She doesn't have a pulse and isn't breathing right now, but luckily not much time has passed since she received her injures. There's not a 0% chance she'll survive. I'm going to take her and retreat."

She got up and started to run away.

"Remember not a 0% chance, but please don't get your hopes all the way up!"

She ran away, and I felt a small pot of hope in my stomach.

"Itadori, I've watched one of my teammates die for right in front of me. Hemino. It didn't really make me sad, but that's probably cause I didn't really know her and she did throw up in my mouth while she tried to kiss me. Anyway besides the point. It hurt Aki a lot, that was because she and him had been close comrades for years. She loved him a lot, and wanted him and her to get together."

I didn't know why he was telling me this, but I assumed he wanted to make me feel a little bit better.

We got ready for the upcoming fight with Mahito.
