I can feel that this curse is dangerous. The presence alone is enough to make me feel pressured. I take a battle stance, bracing myself for an attack. What is that thing?

-Life & Death-

Y/N P.O.V

"Don't move!" Inumaki yelled out, making the curse stop in its track. He grabs my hand and starts to pull me to run with him. We run away, trying to put as much distance as we possibly can against that curse.

We run on top of a roof. I turn my head noticing Fushiguro and one of the students from Kyoto. Fushiguro is the one who notices us. "Inumaki-Senpai! Y/N!" He said. Inumaki turn to look at the two of them.

"Run away" Inumaki said. Those two quickly runs away, just in time as the huge tree vines come to them. Inumaki is still holding my hand as we keep running.

I turn to look at the curse and lift my hand. A box like structure appears around the curse. "Hurry up! That prison won't be able to hold up for too long" I said. We speed up and runs inside the house. I place my hands on my knees and breathe heavily.

"Are you okay?" Inumaki asked. I turn my head to look at him and nod my head. "I'm fine..." I said. I notice Fushiguro staring at us in shock. I turn to him, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" I asked. He turns to Inumaki and me. "Did he just speaks normally to you?" He asked. I turn to look at Inumaki briefly before turning my attention back to him, and nod my head.

"Yeah. Cursed speech don't work on me" I said. He stares at me with a surprised expression. I let out a deep sigh. I haven't done a lot... but it's already deep draining.

Fighting a special grade curse will take a lot of my strength. But if we don't fight... we'll end up getting ourselves killed. What should I do now? How did a special grade curse even get in here in the first place??

The door breaks off as the curse walks towards us. It shoots sharp barks towards us. "Stop it!" Inumaki said, making them stop mid-ways. He quickly grabs my hand and we run away once again. All four of us rushes outside and jumps towards a roof.

I notice a veil is covering the area. I stare at the veil worriedly. Whoever is attacking us, is trying to stop someone from our school from interfering. My best bet is Gojo-Sensei. After all, Gojo-Sensei is one of the strongest jujutsu sorcerer.

Fushiguro summons his Nue. "Inumaki-Senpai will stop it for you. Attack it now" he said, sending Nue to attack the curse. Inumaki braces himself to use his cursed speech.

"Sto-" he stops mid-sentence. He drops on his knees as blood starts spewing out of his mouth. "Inumaki-Senpai!" I said, kneeling down next to him. I place my hand on his shoulder. I watch as Nue gets pierce through the chest by the curse. I turn my attention to Inumaki.

He forces himself to stand up. "No, senpai. That's enough" I said. He places a hand on Fushiguro's shoulder, stopping him from using his shikigami. He's also trying to stop Inumaki from continuing.

The curse steps up towards him. Inumaki take a deep breath. "Blast away!" He yelled out. The curse get sends towards the roof. Inumaki spits out blood and collapses on the roof tiles.

"Inumaki-Senpai!" I said, rushing towards him. I place my hand on his shoulder, shaking him lightly. But he didn't wake up. I place my hand on his neck. He have damaged his vocal cord. I let my hand glow a soft f/c as I focus on healing him.

The curse comes back. I turn my attention towards it. I won't let anyone get hurt again. Not if I can do something to prevent it. I slowly stand up. Seems like I don't have a choice.

Even if I can copy people's appearance, along with their cursed techniques. I still have a long way to go before I can perfect the techniques. I don't have a lot of time to train it, because I only have 30 seconds for each uses. But for now, it's more than enough.

I close my eyes and let the energy flow through my body. I feel my body transforming.

"Y/N

"Y/N. No! You told us that if you use that technique to copy someone on a higher level, you're going to get yourself hurt!" Fushiguro said. I turn my head to look at him and smiles softly.

"If it means protecting all of you. Then it's worth the risk" I said. My voice also sounded like Gojo-Sensei. I take off the blindfold that covers my eyes. I turn to look at the curse as it stops mid-track.

Now, I only have 20 seconds left. So I better make this count. I lift my hand and make a ball of energy in my hand. Even if this technique isn't going to make that much damage. The least I can do is weakened the enemy.

I turn my hand so the palm faces towards the curse, letting the ball shoots towards it. I manage to tear its arm off. It growls angrily at me.

I transform into my real self and drops on my knees. My whole body aches after using that technique. I drop on my knees and breathes heavily. My sight starts to get blurry from exhaustion. Now it's up to the others to fight it. I let my body drop to the side and everything turns black.

3rd P.O.V

Momo takes Inumaki and Y/N to the infirmary so the two of them can get their injuries treated. While Inumaki is doing alright, after Y/N treated him. Y/N on the other hand, is in a much critical condition than because she used up a lot of her energy.

The school's doctor, Dr. Shoko, quickly prepared all the medical equipments she needs as soon as she sees the condition Y/N's in. She quickly rushes to Y/N's side and starts performing her treatment.

Y/N's breathing is shallow and deep, signaling the girl is having a hard time to breathe. Dr. Shoko's eyebrow is furrowed in deep focus as she treats Y/N, trying her best to safe the h/c haired girl's life.

Y/N starts convulsing, making the doctor panics. She raise both hands and starts performing reverse curse technique on Y/N. Y/N slowly calms down and her breathing starts to evened out.

Dr. Shoko let out sigh of relief as Y/N finally passed the critical condition. She take a seat on the chair and runs her hand through her hair. She have never been so exhausted while performing a treatment. She turn to look at the h/c haired girl who's still unconscious.

What is she?
