Y/n's POV

I open my old dorm room. It's been what... eleven years since I was here? Yet everything looks the same as I put my bags down. I head to the bed, letting my body fall on it, sinking into comfort.

I am still here. How sad is that? I bury my face in the pillows, closing my eyes as emotion accumulates in my soul. I don't want to live like this, constantly feeling empty, yet so consumed by a weight I cannot recognize as anything. I am tired. The only thought that makes me want to get out of bed is getting ready to go to their funeral. Dressed in all black, I close my eyes imagining it's all over already, and I feel like I can finally feel air in my lungs as a ray of hope makes its way through.

I will be free.

I try to stay like that with my mind in a better place, but I feel the need to keep checking my phone every five minutes. No missed calls nor messages. I am scared... but also hungry, so I open my dorm room, finding a young girl walking in the hall. When she sees me, her head tilts to the side with curiosity.

"Hello." I whisper from inertia. She looks really young  "I'll be a teacher here. My name is Y/n."I put my hand out as she slowly approaches. She seems to recall something, a small smile appearing in her face.

"That Y/n?" She asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes..." So even young girls know I'm the pawn of the elders, huh? "What is your name?"

"Nobara Kugisaki... Mr. Gojo always talks about you." I can't hide the surprised look that appears in my face, really not what I was expecting.

"Nice to meet you, Nobara." Curiosity bubbles in my chest. "He talks about me?"

"He says you are the reason he teaches." She takes a sip of her coffee. "I hope you two aren't a thing. You are too pretty for an idiot like him."

I can't help but smile. "We are not... I look forward to joining you. You are a first year, right, with Itadori and Megumi?"

"Ah, yeah, it'll be nice to not be the only girl anymore."

"Y/n," Yaga's voice bursts the bubble. I try not to let my smile fade as I hurry to end our conversation.

"It was nice to meet you, Nobara. I will see you later, if you'll excuse me..." Nobara waves goodbye before going to the room next to mine. I turn around to see his face, trying to seem as nonchalant as ever.

It's harder than I thought.

My eyes go to him trying to fill myself with patience, to stop my need to face him.

"Yes?" I respond like I always do. My eyes scan him, Gojo must have called him already based on the way he is acting differently.

"New mission... You'll be partnered with Gojo." He pauses, probably trying to think how to phrase it. "You two will meet every night, follow through with the actions he asks of you for as long as you are inside his apartment." I don't hide how my face morphs with his words. He isn't looking me in the eye; I guess even someone like him feels shame. The binding vow tightens in my throat.

I play my act, he is finally my prey, but it doesn't feel good, there is no satisfaction in knowing he  will die by my hands.

Ah....

This hurts more than I expected.

"Yaga... What?" I try to gather my thoughts, to act like its my first time hearing about it. "What if-"
