Hinatsuru style her hair, 2 braids before bring it to two knotted rings with red ribbon. After she's satisfied with her look, she put on a red lipstick. She wears her uniform outside, but yeah. She exit her door, before meeting Nobara.
"Hi Hina! How's your mission?" She asked. The petite girl smile.
"Good. How about you and others?" Hina adjust her hip pouch.
"Oh, we are good. Wait, you are going to this mission too? Aren'y you tired?" She asks, as locking her door. Hina simply sigh.
"Yes. I'm so tired, that I can sleep while walking." Hinatsuru stretch her neck. Nobara put on a weak smile, and she didn't say anything after that.
Two of them then walks to the front. Ijichi already there, so they greet each other. Ijichi smile when he see Hina.
"Hey, Hina. How's your mission with Nanami?" He asked. Hina smile, simply nod.
"It's good." Nothing much, nothing less.
Oh, Kento also give Sukuna's finger to Satoru. He met him at the front before he dropped Hina out from his cars. Well, Satoru didn't say anything and just accept the finger. He might sealing it for good.
"Right... Um, you two can wait inside. I'll start the engine and keep the AC on for you." He then open the driver seat.
"Thank you Ijichi san!" Nobara replied. Then, the two entered the car. As Nobara take the front seat, Hina open the back seat and she lock the door, before lean her head to the windows. She feel sleepy and tired.
"Oh, you can sleep first, Hina. I'll tell your mission after we arrived. Also, let's wait for the boys." He stated. Hina nod, before she close her eyes.
Simply, she's sleeping.
Around 15 minutes, Yuji and Megumi walks to the car. They greet Ijichi before enters the car. As Yuji wants to speak, lighten the mood, Nobara put her index finger to her mouth, telling the two to keep quiet.
As Yuji could see Hina was sleeping soundly, he sit on the middle seat. Megumi sit beside him. Yuji was concern of Hina's sore muscle if she continue to sleep like that, so he grab her head and make her lean to his shoulder.
Ijichi smile upon the kindness. He then fasten his seatbelt before drive. No song, no voice or anything in the car. Everyone respect the petite's girl time to sleep. She just came back less than 5 hours ago, and Satoru insist that she must joined the mission as a back up.
It's 40 minutes drive time to the place. Ijichi stop his car before look at the four. He then look at Hina. So, Yuji pat her shoulder a few times, telling Hina to wake up.
The petite girl slowly open her eyes, before yawns and stretch her back.
"Oh... We're arrived. Sorry, I fall asleep." She murmurs.
"No need to apologize. By the way, it's just an evacuation mission. Same like previous one. So, no fighting, just grab any survivors and meet me outside. I'm gonna put on the curtain." Ijichi said. Five of them exit the car, before getting ready. Ijichi make a handsign, before the four look at him.
"Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure."
The curtain is up. Hina is the first one to enter, followed by Megumi, Nobara and Yuji. Inside, Hina grabs her dagger, before look around. She look at Megumi.
"Megumi, you go with Yuji. Nobara and I will go together." She said. The trio nod, before they enter the buildings.
"Yup, same like before. Not so good domain." Megumi commented. He summon his divine dog, before look at the girls.
"Nobara, where should we head?" Hina asks.
"Hm, let's head upstairs. You boys can go the other way." She smile. Hina nod.
"Alright. If you two in danger, just run." Yuji remind, but that makes the girls irks.
"We are not that weak." Nobara rolled her eyes.
"Tch, let's go, Nobara." Hina walks away.
"Eh?" Yuji confused.
"Idiot. Let's go." Megumi commented, before he walks away. Yuji frown, but he follows from behind.
As Hina and Nobara walks, they could only find one survivor, a young girl. She's around 5 years old. Based on what the two heard from the kid, she said that her mother left her in the building. Yup, she fucking left her daughter in the building.
"Alright, you follow behind that pretty sister, okay? I'm gonna make sure everything is okay." Hina pat the girl's head.
"A- alright." She replied.
"What is your name?" Nobara asked.
"I am Kiyo." She timidly replied. Nobara nod, before she pat her head.
"Okay, Kiyo. Stay close behind me, okay?"
The girl nod, before the three starts to walk.
Hina could tell that something was watching them. Not only her, but Nobara and Kiyo could tell it too. Nobara grabs her hammer and nails. She could feel the curse, but she could not tell where the exact place the curse is. Kiyo hold Nobara's skirt, as she's scared.
"Nobara, you and Kiyo go first." Hina throw her dagger at a certain place, before something screaming from that.
"How about you?" Nobara put down her nails and hammer, before she lift Kiyo to piggyback her.
"I'm staying. If you meet Yuji and Megumi, tell them to go. I'll go right after this." Hina grabs another dagger.
"Fine. Take care. Let's go, Kiyo." Nobara runs away after she hug the girl's tight.
After Nobara was quite far, Hina look at the curse. It's standing right in front of her.
"You're just a third grade. I wonder, what goes wrong." Hina throw a set of her daggers to the curse, before she channel her curse energy to the curse.
As the curse are weak, it can be exorcise easily. Hina then exit the floor. She could only see Yuji, standing there. Silent.
"Yuji, where's Megumi? Did you see Nobara too?" The petite girl touch his back, surprised. He is not Yuji.
Why the hell Sukuna is here?
"What the-" Hina groans, after Sukuna grabs her wrist.
"Oh, we meet again, pretty woman." He chuckles. Hina rolls her eyes.
"Where's the two?" She asked.
"Who knows." Sukuna dodged the question.
"Listen, I'm not here for you. Switch with Yuji back. I don't have time for your bullshit." Hina pulls her wrist, but that makes the king of curses smirk.
"Really? I just came out to see something. It seems like my plan work well." He lower his face, until it meet hers.
Their orbs meet each other. Hina could feel her heartbeat increase. What are Sukuna talking about?
"What... plan?" She stuttered. He smile, before grabs her jaws.
"You will see, Hinatsuru."
Then, a finger bearer appeared out of nowhere. Hina could hear a howling sound from outside. Right, Megumi and Nobara is outside. She push Sukuna away, before look at him and the curse.
"Now, you want to enjoy the show or you want to be the star, Sukuna?" Hina grabs her dagger before look at the curse. She already recalled her sets from earlier.
Sukuna literally chuckles, before he laughs, histerically.
"Show me what you've got, woman! Entertain me, and I might keep you longer."
"Then, don't keep me. How about you kill me, right here and now? Are you afraid?" She taunts him.
