Yuji had to cover his eyes as all he saw was a bright light swallowing him up. Even then all he could feel was regret and uncertainty if you were alive or not. He tried to catch you, he tried to catch you and you fell into a horde! It's even worse because he doesn't know if you're fighting for your life or if you injured yourself on impact and became an easy meal for the zombies.


No! He just got there! After so long he wanted to have a proper conversation with you and just talk! And Shiro and Luis those two died!


Yuji feels a rush of air into his back and suddenly he slams into the ground and stumbles back, hitting a wall. He groans in pain as he tries to stand.


"Yuji!" He heard Gojo's voice and the sound of rushing footsteps. Yuji didn't allow himself to breathe or rest for a moment, he quickly stood only to fall under his legs. They felt like jelly and before he hits the ground Kento catches him. His body felt so weak as if he was stripped of his stamina.


"Did you find her?"


Yuji looks up to see your father have a glare on his face. Yuji tried to see if your dad would ask if you were okay and where are Shiro and Luis. But he remained quiet, waiting for Yuji's answer. Yuji nods and tries to catch his breath. "I found her and put the soul tracker on her, but Luis and Shiro..." Yuji takes a deep breath before looking into your father's eyes again. "They're dead, I'm sorry." Yuji noticed more clan members were moving to the orb and because they were surrounding the orb, he couldn't see what the hell they were doing.


"Yuri," your father said, turning his gaze to her. "Prepare a funeral for Shiro and Luis, they have fulfilled their duties." Yuri nods and leaves the room. Yuji frowns and glares at your dad. "What are they doing to the orb, are you finally going to get her out?" Yuji asked, getting riled up. Your father doesn't answer him as he turns his back to Yuji and goes to the orb. "Hey, answer me!"


"Yuji calm down-" Nanami tries to stop him. Yuji was in rough shape the last time Kento saw him. Now? His clothes are a mess and ripped, he's covered in bruises, his knuckles are cut up and bruised, and he's covered in blood. Whatever else has happened has left his body exhausted.


"Whoa, you need to rest right now," Gojo argues as he grabs Yuji's shoulder.


"I need to make sure she's alive!" Yuji snapped. He turns away to grip his hair and grind his teeth together. "I was....I was being pulled out as she fell into a zombie horde. I couldn't catch her, I couldn't catch her!" Also, the fact that you risked your life to save him again. You're always saving him and he couldn't save you. He made a promise to himself that he would save you and what happened? You were bitten by a zombie, fell into a horde, and are still trapped inside the orb with Sukuna.
