"Let's separate, we'll find them quicker." (Y/N) said, turning to Utahime. "Please be careful."

With that, the two of them went separate ways. (Y/N) flew up to get a better view of things and spotted a few students on a roof which she immediately rushed towards.

As she approached, the first thing she saw (other than dense smoke) was Inumaki, lying on the rooftop.

"Toge!" the girl called out running to him.

Just as she spotted Kamo who also seemed unconscious, Maki hit the curse spirit from behind, breaking her sword. (Y/N) looked up to see both her and Megumi standing beside each other.

"Maki, take charge! I'll get these two to safety and I'll be right there."

The green-haired girl nodded. With that, (Y/N) hulled both the students onto her shoulders and flew away.

......

(Y/N)'s POV

"Oh this is slow" I thought to myself, trying to speed up. "As much as I'm able to carry both of them, it's still more weight to fly with."

Luckily, a few minutes later, Nishimiya showed up. We were then able to get Toge and Kamo out a little faster.

"Shoko will get you guys all patched up." I said, unsure if they could hear me.

With that, I rushed back in to find Megumi and Maki.

......

3rd person POV

"Looks like you've realized it." Todo said to Megumi as (Y/N) approached them. "No one is allowed to touch those who have started to spread their wings. And that's exactly where Itadori is right now"

"If you die again, I'll kill you myself." the black-haired boy told Itadori through gritted teeth.

"Todo." (Y/N) called out, which made him turn back around.

"Go ahead. Leave this to my best friend!" he exclaimed.

The girl hesitated for a bit, but she glanced at her pink-haired student and nodded.

"All right, let's go." Panada said, picking up Maki and Megumi.

"Give me one of them."

"I can hold them both." he replied cheerfully before running off. "Pandash!"

"Give me one of them!" she yelled, running to catch up to him.

......

After laying them on beds in the infirmary, Panda left while (Y/N) stayed behind. As her eyes met Shoko's, she gave a tired smile.

"Are Toge and Kamo alright?"

"They'll be fine." her friend answered before walking towards the beds. "Huh. Your son got pierced by flower buds?"

"I don't know how that happened. I think the curse they were fighting was a special grade." the (H/C)-haired woman sighed. "I'll fix it. Could you heal Maki please? Her shoulder's injured, I'm not sure if there's anything else."

"Alright."

The two of them got to work. Not long after, more people started coming in. Some by themselves, others with assistance.

"We'll have a pretty long report to write after all this." (Y/N) said while healing a wound.

"Don't remind me." Shoko replied, also patching someone up. "Hey, shouldn't there be an authorities meeting of some sort right now?"

"Yeah, there is."

"You're not going?"

"Yeah no. I have no say in meetings like that so I'd rather be here, actually doing something useful."

After they were done with their work, Shoko sat down and turned to (Y/N).

"Report this evening?" she asked, receiving a nod from her friend. "I'll text you."

"Alright." the latter responded. "I'll go check on Toge, see you later!"

"See you later."

......

(Y/N) walked into Inumaki's room after knocking, a plastic bag hanging from her arm.

"Hello there." she greeted with a smile. "I brought you some medicine."

"Kelp." the boy replied, his voice still hoarse.

"You don't need to talk Toge." the girl said, tapping his forehead gently. "There."

"Is Fushiguro okay?" was the first thing she heard.

"Yes, dummy. He's okay. How about you, do you feel better?"

Inumaki nodded and she ruffled his hair. They conversed like that for a while, until another knock was heard, followed by Gojo's lively voice.

"Toge, I need to steal (F/N) from you!"

The student chuckled as (Y/N) tried to hold back her smile.

"Can you..?" the boy asked in his head.

Knowing what he meant, she laid a finger on his forehead and blocked her ability to hear his thoughts before standing up.

"Take care of yourself."

Smiling, he gave her a little push towards the door before waving her goodbye.

......

"Whatchu need me for?"

"Can't I just miss my girlfriend and want to see her?"

(Y/N) rose her eyebrows and Gojo laughed seeing her expression.

"Is this about the coat rack guy? I can still hear him going on about getting tricked by that monk, whoever that is."

"Well, that solves it" he said. "I wanted to check if he was spouting nonsense to us."

"Doesn't seem like it." she replied before going quiet.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Everything that happened today, and just recently in general. It's a bit odd don't you think?"

"Yeah. Especially the amount of advanced cursed spirits, which we can't explain yet. Utahime said she'll help invest the people from Kyoto."

"Hopefully that'll be some sort of lead for us." (Y/N) paused before looking at the white-haired man.

"Are you admiring my beauty?" he smirked.

"I'm thinking about how unsmart it was of you to just hollow purple everything." (Y/N) teased, shaking off her uneasiness. "I'm pretty sure the curse got away y'know."

Gojo could tell there were still other things on her mind, but didn't want to push her so he didn't ask any further.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad of an idea." he said, earning himself an eye roll. "I see you smiling right now."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

And they started walking away, arguing back and forth.
