As the night falls, I bid Yuuji goodbye and head back to my dorm room. A million thoughts are swirling through my head. I open the door and step inside, closing it quietly behind me. The room is still and peaceful, just like I left it. The only sound comprehensible being the soft hum of the air conditioning unit.
I sigh and sit on my soft bed, waiting anxiously for Gojo to arrive. In the meantime, I decide to polish grandpa's sword, which had gotten scuffed from the sparring session today. I focus my attention on cleaning the blade, carefully wiping away the smudges and dirt with a soft cloth. The methodical motions help to calm my racing thoughts, but I can't help but glance up at the clock every now and then.
Where is he? It's been an hour now...
Time seems to crawl by as I wait. I can't help but feel a little hurt at the thought that he may have forgotten about me.
Suddenly, I feel a burst of cursed energy and the image of the familiar white-haired man materializes in the middle of my room. My eyes widen in shock, and before I have time to react, he crosses the room towards me.
"Don't worry, we'll have our talk later." He says cooly. "For now, there's something I'd like you to see." With that, he wraps his arm around my waist and picks me up. I yelp in surprise. Gojo just grins as he holds me firmly against him, playful grin on his face as he teleports us out of my room. We both find ourselves back in the familiar dark room of Gojo's basement, illuminated only by the screen of the TV. Gojo crosses the room to grab Yuuji off of the couch by his shirt.
"Hey!" He yelps, but it's too late because Gojo teleported yet again. When we finally land, the sudden shift of the environment catches me off guard. The three of us now find ourselves in the middle of a large pond in the middle of the forest.
"Sorry about that!" Gojo says, voice full of amusement.
I look around, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings, still baffled by the sudden teleportation. "Where... Where are we?" I ask, confusion lacing my voice.
"Yeah what's going on here?!" Yuuji says, frantically looking around in confusion. "Where in the hell are we?!" He continues to rant while Gojo just apologizes, which doesn't sound genuine at all. My eyes suddenly lock on a weird creature standing a few yards in front of us, a mix of intrigue and unease filling me.
Is that a curse? This one wasn't like the others though, I could tell immediately. This one had a humanoid shape, standing on two legs and had two arms. It has a single eye in the middle of its "head", which was oddly shaped sort of like a volcano. It has pale gray skin and seems to be wearing clothing? I've never seen a curse that wore clothes before...It has on black pants, boots, and a green spotted cape along with a white scarf around its neck. It's staring right at us, an odd look of shock on its face.
"Is that... a curse?" I ask while pointing at it, my voice barely above a whisper.
Gojo ignores my question, instead, he holds us both up higher and turns his attention towards the volcano creature.
"To observe, I've brought Yuuji Itadori and Kira Sugihara."
"Mt. Fuji!!" Yuuji exclaims. "His head's Mt. Fuji!"
"Relax," Gojo says, looking amused. "We're here for a little field trip. There's something I want to show you two." With that, he lowers us both onto the ground, allowing us to get back on our feet. Surprisingly though, we were able to walk on the water beneath us!
Yuuji immediately begins to stomp his foot into the ground, "What the hell's this? How come I'm not sinking!?"
I toe at the ground as well, also intrigued by the water. I can't feel any wetness on my shoe...Is this a weird dream or something?
