WellSpring of Curses - Jujutsu Kaisen

The Wind Blows Change

"We are inside Jujutsu Techs barrier. None too soon either. A bounty was just placed for Haku-san." Geto pointed out. Haku gasped. That was fast. "Thanks for your hard work Satoru." Geto spoke, signalling to his friend the mission was basically over.

Haku watched as the cursed energy she could see surrounding Gojo fizzled down and vanished. "No more babysitting." He huffed out, exhausted. He received a quick reprimand from Riko, none too pleased to be referred to as ' a baby'. Haku shrugged, figuring she fell under that title as well.

It felt like a slight breeze blowing in, but one that held killing intent when the black-haired man appeared behind Gojo and thrust a sword through his chest. Everyone quickly jumped back. Gojo winced, and looked behind himself, sweat beading down his temple. "Do I know you?" He questioned.

"Don't worry, I'm bad at remembering people too." The black haired assailant commented before jumping back away as Geto sent one of his curses hurling towards him. He then ran toward his friend, who held up his hand to stop him.

"It's fine." Gojo assured. "I didn't activate my cursed technique in time, but it missed vital organs and I used my cursed energy to stop any more damage. Like a needle going through a knit sweater. I'm fine, really. Amanai is the priority, get her to Master Tengen. And Haku-chan's got a bounty now, so we need to get her somewhere safe ASAP."

Geto gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed, telling Gojo to be careful before the latter responded he'd be fine. He then took off Amanai and Kuroi in tow.

Instead of following after them, Haku rushed forward, focusing her cursed energy on Gojo. "You're not fine ya dummy." She quickly used her reversed cursed tecnique to heal the wound.

Gojo was amazed for a moment, but remembered Geto had told him as much. "Ya really are pretty amazing, huh?" He would have to get her to help him learn more about reversed cursed energy. Shoko was horrible with explanations. 

Haku snorted. "Not really. I have trouble using it to heal myself. Too much cursed energy flowing all the time."

Gojo scoffed. "Seriously?"

Haku nodded, then patted him on the chest where his wound had been. "Be careful alright. I sense no cursed energy in that guy. He's bad news for sure." She then turned and headed to catch up with Geto, Riko, and Kuroi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haku now stood near the elevators with Kuroi, waiting for Geto to return from Tengen. She felt tears in the edge of her eyes. Riko was going to die. The way Riko had clung to Kuroi, crying out her goodbyes made her heart ache. Haku held back her tears. She felt she had no right to cry when Kuroi was being strong. Riko had entered her life only yesterday, but they had become friends. She bit her lip.

Then there was that breeze again, and this time the weapon was aimed at Kuroi. The girl hit the ground, blood seeping from her wound, and Haku was unsure if she was alive or dead. "That's one down." The back-haired man said, throwing his sword over his shoulder and turning towards Haku. "Doubt you'd just come along quietly and make this easy. Can't pass up your bounty. Alive is a little new form me though." He walked towards her, rubbing his temple with his sword hilt.

Haku gritted her teeth and took a fighting stance. She rarely ever used her cursed technique, and it had been 1000 years since she last had., but there was no way she was going without a fight. She felt sick to her stomach. "Who are you and Where is Satoru-san?" She demanded. The only way he could be here now was if Gojo had been beaten or....

"Names Fushiguro Toji " Toji sighed. "and the Gojo brat, he's dead."

Haku felt tears burn in the corners of her eyes. No way. She had no clue how she would beat him, especially since he had beaten Gojo. There was no cursed energy for her to read. No. Deep within she could see something. Not his own cursed energy, but something else. A cursed spirit? Follow that. She focused energy and cherry blossom petals formed around her. She released them at Toji who dodged them easily. Haku barely managed to sense him move behind her and jumped out of the way. Even in this tight corridor, his speed was insane.
