"This is so cruel, Gojo," Itadori pouted as they all stood outside an abandoned building.

"My hopes and dreams are crushed, you know that?" Kugisaki raged.

"There's a big cemetery nearby," Gojo ignored them, "That, plus an abandoned building, and you've got a curse! I want to see what you all are capable of. Nobara, Yuki, Y/N, go exorcise that curse."

"Hold on-"

"Holding!" Y/N grabbed Megumi's arm. He looked at her with a mixture of confusion and annoyance. Kugisaki giggled at Y/N's deadpan sarcasm and even Gojo seemed impressed with that short joke.

"Anyways," Itadori restarted his sentence, "I can't use jujutsu yet. How am I supposed to exorcise it?"

"Cursed energy flows through your body, although you can't control it yet." Gojo pulled out what appeared to be a knife from his pocket. "Use this, the slaughter demon. It's imbued with cursed energy and will help you while you learn to control yours."

Everyone stared at the knife, impressed with it.

"Same thing goes for you, Y/N. You have that card deck, right?"

"You know it," she revealed the metal box in her hand.

"You have cursed energy, and I've seen you use it in times of pure fear. Now, use these cards to help you until you gain control of your energy without them too."

Itadori and Kugisaki approached the building and started looking for a way in. Y/N went to join them, but hesitated.
"Fushiguro, are you not coming?"

"No. I'm still recovering from a mission."

"Oh... I hope you feel better soon." She gave him a small smile and left to join the other two.

Why am I sad that he's not coming? Why did I even ask him?

"Would you hurry it up, L/N?!"

"I'm literally walking over right now Kugisaki!" Y/N huffed.

The three students disappeared into the building and the battered garage door slammed back down behind them. A few seconds of silence passed before Fushiguro broke it.

"I think I'll go in too."

"Don't push yourself. You are still recovering."

"But someone needs to keep an eye on L/N and Itadori."

"You may be right, but they need to learn on their own too. Plus, if something goes wrong, we'll both be here to help."

Megumi sighed, unable to argue with the older man's point.

--------------------🎕--------------------

"Okay here is the plan-" Kugisaki started.

"Who put you in charge?" Itadori chimed in, enjoying making her angry.

"Considering you two are both jujutsu babies, it only makes sense that I-"

"Okay ouch." It was Y/N who cut her off this time while Yuji feigned a broken heart. "Sorry, continue with your plan."

"I'll start from the top floor and work my way down. L/N, you start from the bottom and work your way up. Itadori, you monitor the middle three floors."

With no further objections, the trio went their separate ways. Y/N began to wander around the lowest floor and was confronted by a curse sooner than she thought. It was a disgusting thing with a bug-like body and a twisted face.

Unsheathing a few cards, she started throwing them at the curse, aiming to knock out its eyes and damage its legs.

"Damn, I'm rusty." Y/N cursed as two cards missed their target completely.
