67.

Gojo's POV

Megumi...

I shouldn't have left, but what other choice did I have? I made the right choice. I made the right choice. The right choice. The only choice. He would have killed her. She wouldn't have come back. The bond between us makes my stomach turn. I can feel the way her vow is taking her down once again. Useless. I am the strongest. I am the one who will save her, save everyone. If I gave up on her, I wouldn't know how to be alive. Megumi will be safe. He will be safe when I come back for him.

He will be.

And Y/n I cant lose her again, I can't let her fight anymore, not with how weak she must already be. Her reverse cursed technique is connected with me, but her cursed energy isn't. Just how much are the six eyes costing her? I go faster as I hear the barrier of sound breaking in her direction, the line binding us becoming palpable once again. She is close. As I get closer, I feel the hair on all of my body stand up, attracted by an electromagnetic field. I stop using my blue to push myself forward as the electromagnetic field shifts. She is alive... but how? Her vow must have taken its place by now.

I walk closer, feeling an ominous energy around me. It isn't a curse... it's Y/n.

Omniscient POV

I had never considered adapting to anything, what I want is or isn't, that is what sets my existence apart from humans. Once they were banished from the heavenly guard, they didn't stop seeking more, thriving against adversity. Maybe that is why I regret ever banishing them. I gave them all, took it all away and found beauty in their conviction. They are my biggest mistake and greatest invention, truly astonishing, beautifully painful. As her digestive tract dissolves, I am ready to see her grovel to her knees, only to see her eyes spark with the same intensity that made me fear their growth.

I do not understand their strength.

Her hand goes to her pocket where she pulls out a set of knives. I am tempted to look for my other child as she brings it to her trachea, opening a wound that allows her to breathe through the pools of blood and protein her esophagus is reduced to. Her eyes have been closed this whole time, unable to withstand the six eyes ability. Her body comes up in the air as she uses static energy to pinpoint Kenjaku. Her body breaks through the sound barrier like a bullet as she launches herself forward.

It's suicidal.

But in her situation, death is close no matter what.

Yn's POV

I could not let him do that again, I don't want to rely on him and make him kill the carcass of his biggest regret. My eyes slowly open to find I'm being held once again, I don't need to open my eyes to know who it is, I feel my lip tremble. "Satoru..." I cry out.

"You need to get to safety.." I hear him say, "I need to go back for Megumi." He says pulling my body to sit up.

"I'll go with you" I say standing up, my body yelling at me to stop, I try to open my eyes only to feel my whole body reject the amount of light, the amount of things I can see is way more than I can grasp, filling my brain completely. I close them harshly trying to gather my line of thought.

"No..." I hear him say. "Not like this Y/n."

"I will go... it's better than if you leave me here alone." I respond by opening my powerless eye, and looking up to find his eyes completely drained from what makes him him, it almost makes me want to listen...

Almost.

"I will teleport you far away... I'll go back if needed, but you can't..." I hate the way his lungs gasp for air. "You can't keep doing this to me, please Y/n." The way his eye turns hazy with tears makes my guts turn.

"Satoru..." I open my mouth to speak but we both hear rustling, footsteps coming closer, we both look up to find Itadori standing there, I am about to smile as I see him, Nanami and Noabara come closer, once he sees us his expression falters, dread evident in his eyes before he falls to his knees, next to him is Nanami. I can feel my brain go numb with realization. Nanami pulls him up, trying to get him on his feet but his head goes down into the gravel before screaming, his nails figging on the broken asphalt-

I look up at Satoru, who just stares down at him.

"We need to go back to Jujutsu High." Nanami keeps pulling on Itadori's clothing but his head is bowing.

He is asking for forgiveness?

"Itadori..." Satoru's voice sounds strained, he slowly steps forward sinking down to his knees and holding his chin to hold his face up, I open my two eyes and I can notice it immediately. Sukuna isn't with Itadori.

It wouldn't be...

Satoru would never.

My eyes dart to Nobara, she flinches as I do. "Megumi..?" I ask, hoping for anything but what i'm imagining.

I must be imagining.

I have to be.

Itadori sniffles trying to gather himself before speaking in between sobs. "Sukuna... made a deal to get" His words are cut short by small gasps as I come closer. "He is in Megumi, I couldn't." My heart breaks at the way he stops speaking to scream, causing Satoru to hold him.

"Its my fault. It's my fault, not yours. There was nothing you could do Itadori." He speaks but I can hear the tears, the way he is holding back air. "We will get him back, I promise to you. We will get him back."

I wipe my tears not noticing I was crying until now.
