Third Person POV

"Salmon." Inumaki had tapped on Yuta's shoulder,
scaring him. "Eh, Ah... Sorry...?" He still had some
difficulty understanding the curse speech user.
"You three come of here." Gojo called as he waited
by the car for them. "Unfortunately I can't come
and supervise but this should be easy with these
two here." He pauses. "And Yuta don't let Rika
out again. There's no guarantee if you'll be lucky
enough to bring her back down again. If she fully
comes out again, you and I are so dead."

"We're here." They had all exited the car as Ijichi
had driven them there. Standing infront of a
shopping district, already it felt erie from the
place's emptiness. "Hapina Shopping District, current it is a shutter district. A part of this place
will be demolished to build a larger shopping
centre, during its inspection it was found that
there is a flock of low grade curses. Their exorcism
is entrusted to second grade sorcerer's Inumaki
and Fushiguro and- Huh? Inumaki?" Ijichi was
going over the details, noticing that Inumaki has
wondered off somewhere.

"He's over there." The girl points to a pharmacy,
seeing the off white haired boy buying medicine.
"What did you buy?" Yuta questions as Inumaki
comes back over to them; he grabs something
out of the bag to show. "Throat medicine?"
Toge nods at him. "Anyways it would be bad if
a building this expensive got ruined by rumours.
So it has to exorcised as soon as possible." Ijichi
concludes, "I'll lower the "curtain". Good luck!"

•••

Once the black veil lowered fully the three stood in the street way, many whispers could be heard
"They said it was a flock of low grade curses..."
They looked around seeing some emerge, fish
like in nature. "Spiced cod row." Inumaki cusses
as few suddenly had turned into a school of them floating around in the air. Saying all kinds of
things. "But even so that's way too much." Yuta
goes on as the curse speech user lowers down his uniform from his mouth. "Inumaki-kun, it's dangerous to get that close-" "BURST." The group of curses exploded all together, creating a bright flashes in the air. Going off one after the other.

Inumaki fixes his uniform as the job seemed to
be done just like that. "Huh? Right, we're done."
Yuta had snapped out of his moment of awe.
"Tuna Mayo."The curse speech users voice was
hoarse from the strength of the word he had used.
Yet the job would've been done if the curtain
lowered meaning something else was in there
with them. "Inumaki you've noticed it too right?"
She asks him as he nods. "Fish flakes." He gets
Yuta's attention onto the problem that's has
occurred. "You guys are right, the curtains still
here. We can't get out."He concludes. Suddenly
a irking presence had appear causing the three
to glance back.

"Zomba." The Fushiguro girl noticed a pressure under right under her feet, causing her to push
Yuta. Whilst Inumaki had pulled her over to him. "Inumaki!! Y/n!!" The boy had looked worried
but both of them dismissed the boy. It was a
polite and indirect way of telling him to stay back.
"GET TWISTED." Curses arm twists. But then Toge collapses; he was reaching the very edge
of his limit, coughing out blood. Whilst another attack was coming up. The girl had help him up
and quickly pushed him over to Yuta, who had
managed to caught him.

"Run! I'll handle this while he recovers a bit." She
tells him as the boy couldn't even argue. After he
ran up to the second level of the district she had
pulled out her sai. Not sparring a moment she
closed the distance between the curse, running
up with a roundhouse kick. Having it land right
up against the pole, smashing it's arm into the material. Holding the thing tightly in place.

"Creation Technique: Reinforcing."

She had recreate the pole, trapping the arm,
proceeding to stab a Sai into it. Purposely leaving
residue of her curse energy. Before then standing
further back.

"Destruction Technique: Explosion."

Activating her technique the Sai had exploded,
destroying the curse's arm in the process. She
only so long to stoke with only having one Sai on
hand now. Praying that Toge would recover
quicker. But that attack wasn't enough to slow
down the curse as it launched a serious of attacks
on the girl. Causing her to flip backwards who
knows how many times; now backed up against
a wall. "Y/n!" Yuta called out as he was on the
other end, getting ready to join the fight.
"Did you finally decide to join back?" She was
joking with him but then she saw that look on
his face. He was determined.

"Make sure you can keep up then." She tells him
whilst Yuta nods and draws his sword, causing
a notable reaction from the curses. Fear and Anger.
Both of them begin hitting the curse with their
weapons and dodging it's attacks. Manoeuvring
around each other's moves. Yet the cuts Yuta were
making we're too shallow. "Catch Yuta." The
Fushiguro threw it to him. "I'll be the distraction,
get that to Toge." She told him, knowing that he
wasn't strong enough to fight this level of curses.
At least he wasn't able to yet. He called out to the
curse speech user throwing it as Inumaki jumps down. He caught it with ease; sculling down the
liquid throat medicine as he landed down.

"GET CRUSHED!" Toge manage to exorcise the
curse as the other two sigh in relief. Yuta wiped
the blood on his head. "Mustard Leaf?" The off
white haired boy ran over to check on him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It just grazed me." He awkwardly
laugh it off. Then Inumaki had turned to look at
the girl who only gave him a nod. Not a single
scratch on her body. "How about you? You're
throat is it alright?" She asked despite him already
having taken medicine, yet for some reason his
cheeks burned pink. Luckily it wasn't visible to
the girl.

"Salmon." He managed to reply to her.

Current Time

"Toge." A familiar voice cooed out to the curse speech user whilst he dreamed of previous memories. The voice that always kept him smiling
and spoke only of kindness to him. She could put
him into a peaceful sleep with how soothing it
was. "Toge." It called out again; coming along with
a shake, soon his eyes fluttered open to see the
Fushiguro girl. Leaning infront of him as he had
managed on the grassy hills of the training field.
"You slept through the whole of training. Maki
and Panda left to grab lunch. I stayed only to
keep an eye on you." She sat down beside him
causing the boy to sit right up. His off white
hair was messy, sticking out in all kinds of places.

He had reached for his phone typing out
something. 'Aren't you hungry too?' Inumaki questioned wondering how long it has been.
"Yeah but to be honest I wanted to have lunch with you." She tells him, whilst packing up her stuff. There was that same feeling he felt. Cheeks
flushed pink. Having just dreamed about when it first happened; he liked- no scrap that loved when she directed her sense of care towards him.
"Come on let's go grab something to eat." She
stood up, slinging her training bag over her
shoulder before then holding out her gloved hand.

Inumaki took it, being pulled up by her as she
dragged him along. He didn't mind that though.
