My Keepers

Two

You could suddenly hear your heartbeat pounding in your ears. The hallways clear out almost immediately, while some students flee to their designated classrooms, and the more powerful ones rush towards the stairs leading to the training field. You follow suit and find yourself racing down the steps, preparing for an attack. Your mind instantly thinks of a million possibilities regarding the attack, perhaps a finger was found, or the curse users were bored enough to cause chaos. As you approach the courtyard, you see that a large mass of disgusting creatures are waddling the grounds, looking for unsuspecting students to consume. Gojo, along with the other high-ranking sorcerers come toward the gate. "What's happening?" You call to him. Gojo looks over, already untying his mask and revealing a glimpse of his right eyeball. "Get ready to fight." 

You run toward them, not letting your poker face slip. You typically craved fighting curses, but this time it felt different. You felt scared. 

You glance away from the battle, only to notice Gojo's expression change. What was once a confident grin was melted into a face of anguish. Only a moment later, you turn to see one of your upperclassmen sprinting towards one of the curses, ready to launch an attack. You didn't know him well, but he had always been a strong competitor in the Exchange Event. In the blink of an eye, you see him bend over in agony, slowly mutating into a curse. Your eyes widen with shock and you can hear a faint cackling emerge from the crowd of beasts. "Well, that was rather pathetic! You pride yourselves on having such powerful and talented students, and this is what's produced?" The sorcerers stop in their tracks, as they stare in horror at the man approaching. "You got your ass kicked the last time you showed up here. Back for more?" Gojo huffed, looking toward Itadori, who was shivering at the sight of him. You didn't recognize him... if you could even call that monster a "him." He wasn't human, though he presented similar features. "You're abilities won't help you now Satoru." Gojo steps in front of you, demanding you to step down and find cover. "Oh! What's this? Precious cargo Gojo?" He lets out a laugh of excitement. "Y/N please." Gojo practically begs, and you almost want to follow his orders. Out of routine, it wasn't like you to ever abide by his rules. "I can handle myself." You groan, and Gojo lets out a grunt of defeat. "Don't get killed." Gojo doesn't move from in front of you, and this only makes the monster of a man giddier.

As he approaches you, his features become more apparent. He looked rather ordinary- other than the contrasting eyes and stitches lining his flesh. His pale blue hair danced in the wind, distracting from the horrific scene taking place behind him. The training grounds had become a bloodbath, and kids were being brutally tortured and mutilated by the curses. While some kids were having it out with the horrifying creatures, others' guts were smeared across the grass, leaving blood and entrails everywhere. "Would love to stay and chat, however, I have business to attend to." 

You, along with the rest of the group charge toward the beasts, Gojo leading. You yield a double-bladed katana, manifested with cursed energy. You were confident in your skills considering Gojo took it upon himself to privately train you.  You lunge toward the mutant of a man, and he giggles as you do so. "Fiesty." He mutters, swinging toward you in a sad attempt to hurt you. "You should say whatever you wish to now because when I'm done with you, I'll have your tongue impaled on the edge of my blade." He smirks, almost pleased with your response. This only fueled your rage and you ran full speed at him once more, aiming for the opening of his mouth. He dodges your attack with little to no effort and he kicks your feet from underneath you. You hear Gojo shouting for you in the distance. "I like a girl who can put up a fight." The man growls, attempting to crush your head with his foot. You quickly roll away and get back up. "Who are you? What are you?" He unexpectedly comes up behind you after disappearing into the smoke, grabbing the back of your hair and giving it a firm tug. "I changed my mind. You may be more valuable than I anticipated." You suddenly feel a sharp pain in the back of your neck. You can hear Gojo's voice fading. Everything goes black.
