A few moments earlier, just as Itadori and Nobara entered the building
"What a pain..." Nobara sighed, starting to walk up the stairs, "I came all the way to Tokyo and now I've gotta deal with some curses?"
"You're here to expel curses, aren't ya?" Yuuji sweat dropped, getting no answer from the ginger girl.
She stopped dead in her tracks, turning a bit to look down the stairs at Yuuji. "Let's make this quick and split up, okay? I'll start on the top floor and make my way down. You start from the bottom." Ending her point by turning to continue walking upwards.
"Let's finish this up and head over to Ginza for some sushi!"
"Hey, take this more seriously. Curses are dangerous! Don't Cha know?" Yuuji yelled, an annoyed huff came from Nobara.
"HEY! WHY IS A NEWBIE LIKE YOU TELLING ME OFF?! GET MOVING!" Nobara rushed back down the stairs, kicking Yuuji in the face on her way down. Then promptly turned around to walk back up.
Yuuji flung out his arms in frustrated confusion, "I CAN'T READ YOU AT ALL!"
"THAT'S WHY YOU'RE NOT POPULAR!"
"WHAT! HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?!" Nobara continued up the stairs without responding, and Yuuji grumbled to himself as he turned around to face the empty corridor, "Bet you're not popular, either. Bitch..", or... at least seemingly empty.
Unbeknownst to Yuuji a twisted mantis-like curse was right above him, its claw-like arms ready to slash his head at any moment. He reacted just in time as it swung its grotesque claw, slicing it off with the Slaughter Demon and dashing away from it, catching the curse off guard instead.
The curse let out a pained screech, "D̶o̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶r̶e̶c̶e̶i̶p̶t̶.̶.̶.̶?̶" purple blood flowed out from it's already healing wound.
Without missing a beat Yuuji ran towards the curse, dodging yet another slash by sliding under it and slicing off one of its hindlegs as he got back up on his feet. The curse lost its balance and fell over, giving him the perfect opportunity to jump on it and stab the knife through its head.
"Phew... Hm... I've got some moves!" Yuuji noted and pushed the knife deeper into the still twitching curse.

Nobara opened the first door on the top floor, it had a couple boxes in it and a massive pile of mannequins, but was otherwise empty and abandoned like the rest of the building.
"Hey, you. Curse." She pointed at the pile, "The mannequin in the middle. Is that your idea of hiding?" She got out a hammer with a little heart and a couple nails that she imbued with her cursed energy from her belt, getting into a battle stance, ready to strike.
"No reaction? Then it's time to say goodbye." Nobara struck at the nails and sent them flying into the mannequin's head, when they made contact it started to morph, and three eyes formed on the unharmed side of its face as it started to crawl towards her.
Nobara couldn't help but smirk as she lifted up her hand, "Those nails... I would take 'em out if I were you." With a flick of her finger the nails started to burrow into the curse's head.
"My cursed energy... Is gonna flow through 'em!" With a final flick of her wrist, the causes head shattered into pieces.
'Perfect...' Nobara proudly thought to herself
She got ready to leave to inspect the next room when a rustling came from behind a stack of boxes. Nobara raised her hammer again, on edge and ready to strike when a small boy stepped out.
'A kid... Probably snuck in for some fun and ended up hiding from the curse...' She scratched the hammer against her head before kneeling down to the boy.
"Everything's okay now, you can come out." The young boy quickly shook his head, offending Nobara.
"Well they say kids don't like to approach beautiful girls. I guess I'll bring Itadori" She reasons to herself and turns to go get the pink haired moron.
The young boy's eyes widened when he saw her turning around, a dark shadow emerged from behind him as he let out a desperate plea, reaching out towards her. "WAIT! DON'T LEAVE ME!"
Nobara quickly turned around, her hammer raised and ready to strike the fuzzy curse, but she immediately stopped when she saw what it was doing. The curse had grabbed the poor boy by the head and held one of its long fingernails towards his neck, smiling smugly towards her.
'It's holding him hostage?!' Nobara's eyes widened, an intelligent curse was something completely foreign to her, how was she supposed to deal with this?!

Guess who's back from hibernation!
I'm really sorry for not updating, life hit me like a brick wall. I finally have summer break so at least school won't be a distraction anymore, so I'll have an easier time finding opportunities to write.
The latest chapters of the JJK manga have been wild and helped me get my motivation back quite a bit, let's see how long that lasts.
