"SUKUNA, THE KING of curses is your soulmate?"

Gojo was in utter disbelief for the first time in his life. He watched as the girl anxiously nods.

"That Sukuna, the one in Yuji Itadori's body?"

She nods again, anxiety spreading through be entire being. Her chest rising and lowering quickly as she feels her nerves taking root. Part of her wishes she could deny it, play it off as a joke. Yet another part of her is proud, excited even.

"Yeah... he's my soulmate."

Gojo stood there slack jawed, just in total denial.

"Well is there anything you can do? To um... get rid of it?"

(Y/n) stared at Toru with wide eyes, his words cutting her deeply. Its not that she hadn't thought of it before, but she had grown to accept him. Even love him.

Although she wasn't quite ready to admit that yet.

"I don't want to get rid of it Toru... I care for him."

The six eye user stepped back like he had gotten shot. His hand coming up to press against his chest in a dramatic fashion.

"This, this is alot to take in (y/n). I don't know what to say."

Tears lined the girls (e/c) eyes, regret filling the pit of her stomach. She begun to wish she never told him.

"I understand... is there anything else?"

Clearing his throat, Satoru watched (y/n) fidget beneath his gaze.

"The higher ups assigned you another mission, as soon as your able... head to Osaka."

Feeling anger bubble inside her chest, she spoke up. Furious that they would send her out after she just recovered.

"But why- i just got back!"

Satoru just shook his head and turned away, his body language showing hesitation. He started to walk away before pausing. He glanced over his shoulder at the girl, his precious (y/n).

"Please be careful (y/n), i truly just want to protect you."

Walking towards him and throwing her figure on him, she gave her oldest friend a desperate hug.

"I know Toru, i know."

OSAKA WAS NICE during the day, but at night it felt to dead for the girl. The city did sleep unlike Tokyo. It was strange to find someone walking the streets past 10pm. The atmosphere just made (y/n) uncomfortable, she always felt on edge here.

The silent streets and cold whistling wind made her feel uneasy, as if something bad would happen.

She was assigned to exorcise a particularly nasty curse, one that seemed to have evolved in a most unanticipated way. Unlike "normal curses" where they could have multiple techniques and abilities involving cursed energy, such as domain expansion. This curse had none of these abilities but rather, all it's cursed energy was focused on improving its singular ability.
