Fate Is A Cruel Mistress [Jujutsu Kaisen x reader]

3. Weren't You Supposed to be Dead?

[A/N]: Some important info for this chapter is that [Y/N] knows that Geto is deadand that she was in the events of jujutsu kaisen 0 (including the night parade of a hundred demons). I am planning on writing it at some point, but for now I'm focusing on the main storyline.
Also, a bit of a warning, this chapter contains some gore.
Please enjoy this chapter.

"Are you ready?" The man adjusted his sunglasses whilst checking his watch. The car that the two were sat in slowed as the office building came into view.

"Yeah."

The two undid their seatbelts and left the vehicle. A veil came down around the building, setting the sky to a navy blue. They walked into the office that reeked of death itself, the only thing on their minds, was how to do their job.

Earlier that day

"There are reports of twelve missing workers from the office that we're going to. People have heard screaming, and seen bloodstains on surfaces, which on a second glance, weren't there at all. It seems to be a special-grade curse that can create hallucinations. The goal is to locate the missing people, and bring them back, should they be alive." Ijichi read the information about the mission from a tablet, before turning it off and looking at the pair of jujutsu sorcerers stood before him. "Any questions." The silence proved enough of a response and the man led the two to a sleek black car.

Flashback over

The office was dark, it was difficult to see even a few metres in front of one's face. The only things that allowed for better vision, were the flickering lights, which would paint the room in a dim, yellow hue every once in a while.

Nanami felt along the wall for a light switch, flicking it once he found it. Nothing about the unfortunate lighting changed, however. The corridors still dark, and the lights still flickering.

"Looks like we'll have to deal with the dark for a bit." [Y/N] spoke softly.

"It works to our advantage really." Nanami responded, voice just barely above a whisper.

A loud creaking noise sounded from a floor above them, or was it more of a child's wailing? But there weren't supposed to be children here.

[Y/N] and Nanami jogged up the stairs, eyes darting around the space, examining every nook and cranny. Just as they reached the top floor, two curses jumped out at them. One of them had spiralling eyes, looking at the two as if taunting them, its seemingly moulding arms spun frantically as it giggled mischievously. [Y/N] blocked the blow by concentrating her cursed energy into her arms, which were crossed in front of her chest.

The other of the two curses resembled a young child, though taller and skinnier than one typically was, fiddling with its thin grey fingers, eyes wide at the site of the jujutsu sorcerers. In contrast to its timid demeanour, the curse had a grin so wide it looked as if its lips had been pinned in place. Its teeth, which were being fully displayed, were rotting and yellow, blood seeping from its gums. This curse zipped towards Nanami, attempting to pry his eyes out through his sunglasses. The man used his technique to sever its long arm.

The two grade-one sorcerers quickly finished dealing with each of the curses before turning to the other, only to come face to face with a flesh-like wall. [Y/N] placed her palm next to a face on the wall before calling out.

"Nanami? Is everything okay?"

No response.

The girl had no choice but to continue down the corridor and look for the missing people. Though she had a very bad feeling that something was about to happen.

And right she was, because as she reached the final room in the corridor, there was a complete absence of furniture while the other rooms were extremely cluttered. However, the most notable thing, was Geto Suguru, sat in the very centre.
