An Unusual Curse || Jujutsu Kaisen x Fem!Reader insert

Goal or Dream?

THIRD-PERSON POV:
"Megumi, hold onto this." Gojou said as he tossed the bag he had into Megumi's hands. Y/n peeked over Megumi's shoulder to look at it.

"What is it?" Megumi inquired.

"It's Kikufuku from Kikusuian. It's Sendai's specialty and it's super good. I recommend the zunda and cream flavor." Gojou replied while cracking his long ass fingers.

'This man was buying souvenirs while people were dying out here.' Megumi mentally deadpanned.

"It's not a souvenir. I'm going to eat it on the bullet train home." Gojou stated as if he read Megumi's mind.

Suddenly, Sukuna jumped into the air and headed straight toward Gojou.

"Look out!/Behind you!" Y/n and Megumi shouted in unison. But it was too late. Sukuna came down onto Gojou kicking up a cloud of dust.

Y/n shielded her eyes from the dust. As soon as she opened them, she realized she was face-to-face with Sukuna himself.

'Huh? Wait...what?...Wasn't this supposed to happen with Megumi?'
Y/n internally questioned.

Megumi opened his eyes to witness the same situation. Almost instinctively, he stretched out his hand in front of Y/n in a shielding manner.

Y/n herself leaned back a bit as she was surprised by Megumi's sudden actions.

"...And the whipped cream inside is just exquisite." Gojou stated as he rested on Sukuna's back.

Sukuna jumped up from his position and went for Gojou but before he could catch him he teleported. Sukuna tried to land blow after blow but he couldn't match Gojou.

"My student and that kid are watching, so I'm gonna show off a little."
With that, Gojou started fighting back.

"...woah..." Y/n mumbled. She gaped at them both fighting in astonishment. It almost looked mesmerizing.

"Hm?" Megumi glanced at Y/n. He noticed Y/n's gaze which was fixated upon the dispute that was ensuing in front of them. She had an astounded expression plastered all over her face.

She looked like a kid who had gone to the aquarium for the first time and was seeing all the breathtaking scenery. Except, she also had a determined look on her face.

'This is to be expected. She probably hasn't seen people fighting curses that much. Heh...cute.' Megumi's brain shut down for a minute and then he realized what he had just presumed. '...wait...no way I just said that. I just met her so I didn't mean like that. Yes, that's the case, I didn't mean it like that.'

Y/n could feel someone's eyes on her. She turned her head to find Megumi staring at her with a dazed expression on his face.

"Is something wrong?" Y/n nervously asked, worrying if she had just embarrassed herself or something like that.

Y/n's voice pulled Megumi out of his thoughts. Megumi quickly averted his gaze from Y/n, realizing he had just been staring at her.

"No. Nothing's wrong. It's just...I couldn't help but notice you staring at the fight." Megumi replied, still not looking at Y/n.

"Ah, I see." Y/n uttered, as she scratched her face. "This might sound stupid but...I always wanted to stand up against a curse myself." Y/n admitted. She wasn't lying though.

Ever since she had watched Jujutsu Kaisen, she had always wondered what it would be like to oppose a curse one on one. "You see. I've always been able to see curses. But I could never get into close combat with one." Y/n added to sound a bit more convincing.

"I really admire what you can do. I'd love to be able to keep other people safe, even if it means I'll be in danger." A sheepish grin spread across her face.

She opened her eyes to see Megumi staring at her again with a puzzled look on his face. 'She...admires us?'

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must sound really dumb. Just forget what I said ok?" Y/n said, trying to take back what she said. 'Ugh!! Why did I say that!? That's such an idiotic goal to have. I sound like some ridiculous anime protagonist!'

"Huh? No! I didn't say anything like that. I was...I was just surprised that you would think like that." Megumi blurted.

"Oh. So you don't think that I'm a lunatic then?"

"What!? No! Why would I think that!?"

"Well, you seem like the grumpy type, so I figured you would just assume that I'm a dumba*s." Y/n teased.

"I don't think you're a dumba*s. I know you are." Megumi replied, in a monotone voice.

"Huh- You're so mean!" Y/n pouted.

"Huh? Don't try and act so innocent all of a sudden. I know you aren't."

"What do you mean by that??" Y/n inquired as she raised one eyebrow and her mouth stretched into a teasing smirk.

"Ugh, you're impossible." Megumi groaned, giving up on the conversation.

"I see that you two are getting along." Gojo goaded the teens.

Megumi deadpanned at Gojo. Y/n looked around and found Itadori sitting nearby, being supported by a wall. He looked to be unconscious.

"What did you do?" Megumi asked.

"Just knocked him out. Don't worry he'll be fine. If he isn't possessed by Sukuna when he wakes up, he has the potential to be a vessel." Gojou explained. "And as for you..." he added as he moved toward Y/n.

"We're gonna take you in for some questioning." he elucidated as he crouched in front of Y/n and extended his two fingers to touch Y/n's forehead.

'Oh, sh*t! What am I going to tell them? I'm so de-' Before she knew it, she lost consciousness and flopped down into Gojo's arms.

"...Eh?? You didn't even touch her yet." Megumi realized.

"Well, looks like she isn't used to physical confrontations with curses." Gojo implied. "I think you'll need to fill me in on her behalf." he added as he glanced at Megumi.
