"Why the hell have you been refusing to summon?!"

You must've forgotten that with our contract, you agreed that I can refuse a summoning,

His voice was so clear to you, you sometimes forget that you're the only one that can hear your curses.

You dull minded human.

His constant insults were something that you've gotten used to. "That's one shitty excuse, Erebus! You've been gone for months— You must have forgotten that you have to summon if im on the brink of death! I could've been dying!"

Unfortunately you have yet to drop dead. Erebus turned his head away from you, licking his jowls while quietly snarling.

"You fucking mutt!" You cursed through gritted teeth. "If I die, you die."

"Erebus was it?" Gojo finally spoke, a smile on his face. "It's been a while since I've seen you."

Erebus turned to the voice of Gojo, not pleased at all. Since Gojo was sitting on the ground, he nearly had to look up just to look the wolf in his eyes.

You again.

Gojo then looked over at you through his blindfold, waiting for you to tell him what he had said.

"You again." You repeated.

Gojo's smile remained on his face before bringing his gaze back on the hound. "I know your feelings towards me aren't the sweetest, so let's get straight to the point, yeah?" Erebus' relationship with anyone wasn't the greatest honestly. Out of everyone he's been around, seems like he tolerated you the most. Not only that, but being in the presence of Gojo just makes him even pissier than usual. "You refusing to summon is kinda a major problem for my student here."

Erebus, Eleos, and Dahara. From strongest to weakest, Erebus was on top and Dahara being on the bottom. Both Erebus and Eleos were usually your go to when it comes to combat, it's just how it's always been. But then again, Daharas senses were nothing compared to them.

And what about it?

Playing translator for Erebus, you replied back with; "Your point?"

"I'm proposing an offer." After hearing that, you couldn't help but get nervous. You knew Gojo. You knew the irrational and just flat out dumb things he could come up with. "Anything you want in return for your obedience—"

"Hold on!" You stepped in. Erebus was one unpredictable curse, who knows what he would come up with when given an offering such as this. "This is a bad idea Gojo–"

Just how do I know whether you're bluffing or not? Erebus questioned. He gave Gojo a mean stare as he awaited for an answer.

"He said he's not doing it."

Erebus took a step towards you, his ear flattening against the back of his head as he bared his fangs at you. You didn't flinch at any of his sudden and threatening gestures. In fact you were expecting them.

"He says otherwise." Gojo tilted his head towards the heated wolf. It was pretty obvious that you were lying about what he truly said. So obvious that it was amusing to him.

It was no use to lie anyway after that. So you gave in. You sighed while groaning into the palm of your hand. "How does he know if you're lying or not?"

To keep it completely frank, Gojo surprisingly doesn't lie as much as you'd portray him to. He'd tell you the truth whenever you asked for it in fact. But would refrain from telling you everything. Gojo hummed as he tilted his head towards the sky. His blindfold made it seem like he was staring at absolute nothingness, but he was surely taking in the view of Japan's clear sky while in thought. "Hmp, I guess that would be a problem now wouldn't it." After a few more silent moments, an idea came into mind. "How 'bout this; If you summon yourself everytime single time Y/n needs you, you will be fed nothing but special grade curses. And if you even miss a single day of your meal," He leaned back and gave Erebus an relax smile. "You can kill me."

With the long grudge he has held against Gojo, he didn't have to give it a second thought. It's a deal then. Erebus heavily huffed as he quickly dipped his head in agreement. You foolish humans are ignorant. Best keep your word, your life's on the line.

You were completely against everything that they just had agreed on. "Are you out of your mind?!" Who's to say that you could even guarantee capturing a special grade just to feed it to him.

"A deals a deal." Gojo smiled, doing the same gesture as Erebus.

Erebus turned his back towards everyone, staring at the old building that Itadori and Nobara were both still in while you were giving Gojo an irritated stare. You had so many things to say to him, so many foul words that you wish you could say to your sensei. Instead, you had to bite the tip of your tongue to refrain yourself.

Without warning though, a familiar feeling began creeping up on you. Another sudden and harsh throbbing sensation over your head. Your whole body tensed up as you grabbed both sides of your aching head and slowly crouched to the ground, your eyes glued shut as you groaned in pain. Erebus also suddenly winced, quickly turning to you for an explanation as he loudly snarled. He was feeling the same unbearable sensation you were experiencing, but you didn't notice. It felt like there were multiple nails being drilled into all parts of your skull, or maybe even constantly getting slammed in the head with a steel hammer. The pain was excruciating.

"Y/n!" Megumi quickly stood, the first to react for your aid but was halted as Gojo stuck out his arm. "Sensei?-"

"Wait." Was all he muttered as he observed you thoroughly.

There was nothing Gojo or Megumi could do but watch and wait until it passed. Ever since you've been around Itadori, this whole reaction thing was new to all of you. You didn't know how long it would last or how bad it would hurt. It was random every single time, so there was no way for you to actually prepare for or predict it.

The feeling only lasted for a few moments. And those few moments felt like hours. Once the feeling finally died down, both you and Erebus body simotamesly relaxed. He was the first to quickly recover from it but was left confused. You on the other hand, it took you a moment to gather yourself. You kept your stare on the hard concrete below you, heavily huffing as your vision was blurred with stinging tears.

Once Megumi realized it was over, he quickly walked towards you and crouched as he placed a hand on your back. "Hey are you alright?"

You rubbed away the tears before anyone could notice and straightened yourself up. "Shit." You breathily chuckled and sniffled.  "I'm fine."

Megumi helped you on your feet as you quietly thanked him. Both of your heads simultaneously looked over to the building where loud and heavy thuds were coming from, both flinching when glass exploded from the inside not even a second later. Shortly coming out after the broken glass was a large curse, jumping from the building and into the air. By the looks of it, the curse was desperate as if it was trying to run away from something. But it's desperation was all for nothing. In mid air, the curse tensed up as if it was pierced with something. And in the blink of an eye, it just exploded and got exorcised.

That's when it hit you. A cursed technique was definitely used to kill the curse. And the curse wasn't running from something, it was running from someone. There was no way that Itadori was responsible for all of that, no way. Guy hasn't even gotten the basics down yet. So that means it only left it to only one person.

Nobara.

~~~~~~~~

If Erebus feels those excruciating headaches, that means the other two curses will most likely feel them as well when they're summon👀 those headaches r important as well hehe
