Double update, because why not?

Everyone is in class, waiting for Satoru. But yeah, he didn't enter the class for such a long time. Everyone know he's always late for at least 7 minutes consistently. Even though Yaga the principal, keep reminding him to come early, he didn't do anything to exit his current lifestyle. Mio can't judge nor say anything about that.

"He's so late today. I wonder what happen." Megumi starts to talk. The other three simply nod, agree on Megumi's words.

"I wonder where he go." Mio bite her lower lips. She feels worry, but she check her phone. Oh, there's a text message from Satoru. Mio open the text, since he sent more than one text.

Gojo
I have a mission outside, suddenly. The class cancelled, tell the others.

Mio blinks a few times. She look at the three, before clears her throat.

"Gojo sensei had a mission today. So, the class is cancel." Mio explained. Nobara raise her brow.

"How did you know?" She asks. Yuji interrupt her words.

"Well, as long as it's true, let's just forget it. Let's all go back to the dorm!" Happy, Yuji jumps before he grabs his bag. Mio smile, before she nod. Just about she want to put everything inside her bag, a few knocks on the door makes everyone stop their actions.

A tall man with black hair enters the classroom. He seems to look around, analyze the classroom before he clears his throat. He didn't put on a smile, but he kinda looks timid.

"You four are first years, right?" He asks. Megumi nod.

"Yes. What's wrong, Ijichi san?" Megumi asks Ijichi. Ijichi seems to be nervous though, but he clears his throat once again before he speak. His eyes were straight looking at everyone.

"All of you will going to a mission. Evacuation mission." He stated. Everyone seems eager about their first mission, but Mio didn't thought of that. Instead, she feel weird. She has this, unusual of uneasiness feelings, turmoil in her heart.

"What happened?" She asks. Yet, Ijichi shook his head.

"We need to go, now." He said. Hence, everyone move fast, following Ijichi from behind.

"Ijichi san, wait, I-" Mio got cut, as everyone already enters the building. Ijichi already set the curtain. Mio sigh. Why does people keep cutting her words? She's tired of all of this.

Mio enters the building. It seems like an incomplete domain. As she is quite late, Mio realized that the domain keeps her away from regroup with the other three. She bite her lower lips before looks around. Everything seems distant and far. It looks like it create another dimension to keep her alone. Mio create a fireball, before she make a fire bird.

"Get out you little piece of shit! I'm tired to deal with shits!" Mio throw the fireball at a distant, where it hit something. In just a second, the dimension shattered like a glass. A few curses gather to gank her up. Mio chanted, calling her fire bows and arrows. Her fire bird provide back up, killing some low grade curses to ease her fight.

As everything seems good, as every single curse got taken down by Mio, easily. She sigh. There's lot of questions lingers in her mind. Why, would they dispatch first years to attend this suicide mission? Is it because, Yuji?

"Oh no. I need to find them." Mio run towards where her heart told her to. She run mindlessly, until she could see that a special grade curse is standing beside Yuji and Megumi. Mio could not move, as her mind becomes blank. The two seems to notice the curse beside them.

Shaking, Yuji use his Demon Blade to slash the curse, but it failed, miserably. He also lost his left wrist in the process.

"Move, Fushiguro!" Mio yells. She throw a fireball at the curse, making it retreat a few steps back. The two look at Mio. They are shaking in fear, sweating profusely.

"Go, Fushiguro. I already a handicap here. I can't do nothing much, other than letting you, Sasaki and Kugisaki out from here." Yuji bandage his wrist, making sure no more blood spills around. Megumi shook his head.

"Don't be such an idiot!" He stated.

As the two keeps on fighting, Mio jumps into the scene. She put fire around them, making sure the curse stay a few metres away, at least. She look at Yuji, who seems fine to hold his pain. She glance at Megumi. Realizing something gone missing, she asks.

"Where is Nobara?" Mio looks around. Megumi tap her shoulder, before he shook his head.

"She got sucked in a hole. We need to find her." Megumi stated. Mio bite her lower lips, before she look around. 

"I'll stay. You go and fine her." Mio reasoned.

"What? No!" Yuji yell, disagree with her opinion. Mio shook her head.

"I'm not going to leave you, Itadori. No." Mio stated, firm. Mio push Megumi away from the fire circle, unscathed. He bite his lower lips, before run away. Megumi calls for his bird and demon dog to look for Nobara. Meanwhile, Mio undo her fire circle. She look at the curse while analyze anything she could.

"Sasaki-" Yuji calls her. Mio ignore Yuji and push him away as the curse start throwing curse energy to them. Mio sigh, as this gonna be tough.

"Run, Itadori! I'll give you extra time." Mio summon three of fire arrows, before she start to focus. Yuji shook his head.

"No! I can't left you!" He yelled, before run straight towards Mio, pushing her away. Her arrows didn't hit the bullseye, but it stilll hurt the curse. Mio and Yuji fall into the ground together. She slowly push Yuji away, uncomfortable.

"I'm not saying that I will live here. Could you please have faith in me?" Mio summon another arrows, before she shoot.

"But- you, you sacrificed yourself for me and Fushiguro back then. How could I trust you to be okay?" He ask. Mio was stunned by his words. She turn at Yuji. He looks devastated. He even cries! Oh goodness-

"That- that's because... I- Urgh, whatever!" Mio look at the curse, who becomes angry by the pain caused by her fire arrows. It start to throw curse energy towards them, fast and many. Mio could dodge that by herself, but the thought of Yuji there, it makes her confuse and scared.

How she could protect him?

Fuck, think Mio!

Yet, Yuji push her once again, far, with his superhuman strength until her back meets the concrete walls.
