𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓 𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕, Nanami sat in the front at the wheel while the two students and woman sat in the back. "You've changed a lot since i last saw you Nanami! You don't look so emo anymore, well you're still kinda moody but hey- there's still time to change that." Mira shuffles through her cargo trousers pocket, she looked like she's struggling to pull something out until final she finds what she wants letting out an "a-ha" as she pulls out the object, opening a box full of cigarettes. Y/N turns her nose up at her sister, wondering how much she is smoking a day.

Mira begins to roll down the window, igniting a flame on the tip of her pointer finger but Nanami rolls it back up using the driver controls at the front. "it appears you on the other hand haven't changed so much, continuing to shorten your life span with those cancer sticks. but hey, i suppose there is still some time left for you to change." Y/N and Yuji quietly chuckle under their breath at his sassy mockery, while Mira rolls her eyes and stuffs the cigarette pack back into her pocket. "we're here."

the car pulled up to an abandoned hospital, it loomed over their vehicle with ivy vines and nature consuming the building wrapping around the exterior like a hand, taking it down brick by brick. Tall rusted gates which once guarded the entrance now twisted and crumbled onto the floor as if they given up protecting the entrance of the hospital.

just how old is this place?

they all quickly got out of the car, being careful not to slam the door too loud in case it catches any one else's attention. Yuji presses the button on his ear piece, something they all have to communicate with the each other, "we've arrived, is everyone here now?"

"yes, we are here." Utahime replies.

"here." megumi joins in.

"good. from what mira said they're meeting on the second floor, we don't know what room or if they're even in a room. so keep your guard up at all times." Nanami echoed in all their ears, Y/N looked to her sister who was now quieter than usual, she nods at her as a gesture of asking her if she's okay and Mira gives a lopsided smile in a poor attempt of reassurance and Y/N couldn't help but feel something was wrong but she knew she had to push that aside, as there was something important ahead.

"yes sir!" a cheerful singsong voice exclaimed, nearly calming the tension everyone had even if they tried not to show it.

"Gojo, where are you stationed?" Y/N asks in a low voice, close to Yuji as they near closer towards the building.

"hmmm." they could hear the air swishing into the ear piece as he turns around, checking his surroundings. "that's a good question."

"you don't even know where you are?!" Utahime whisper-shouts, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"i'm in the hospital, came in through a window so i'm guessing second or third floor." he replied but it sounded more like  a question than anything.

"gojo can you please take this seriously." she huffs, walking alongside with her group who were walking the outskirts of the building in some withered garden area, observing the faded graffiti on the cracked walls.

"i am, don't worry about me, im the strongest after all." though they've hear it all the time, it was sort of calming to hear him say that, the reassurance of his strength boosted their belief that they'd win this battle.

"alright guys, we're headed in." Y/N steps over some broken glass, trying to avoid any shards which may penetrate the sole of her shoes.

the air was thick and heavy with dust, the smell of abandonment and uncleanliness was suffocating, black mould and damp patches covered the walls and ceilings. the directions of the hospital on a sign nailed to the wall was chipped and faded, making it nearly impossible to read was what going on, and above that was a clock which was stuck on 7:45, frozen in eternal stillness, it felt like the place stood rooted in history while the world around it moved on.

"so is this the ground floor or the first floor?" yuji whispers, wiping some dust onto his jacket after he ran his finger along the receptionist desk- disgust twisted on his face.

"it's the ground floor." y/n walks over to the stairs, beckoning the others to follow, her hand gripped at the handle of one of her katanas which were strapped to her back, 2 guns loaded with cursed energy bullets on her waistband.

"but isn't it technically the first floor because-"

y/n sighs, pinching her boyfriends cheek causing him to suck air in through his teeth- hissing in pain, understanding that was her painful way of telling him to 'shut up' and 'now's not the time'.

"you guys are going the wrong way." Mira points down the right hand side of the corridor while the others walked down the left. 

"how do you kn-"

"have you guys found anything yet?" Nobaras voice interrupts Y/Ns question as she squints at her sister, furrowing her eyebrows slightly but brushes it off.

"no, you?"

"nope. this is so boring! what if they're not even here?" Nobara whines.

"oh they're here alright. Pandas just searched the kitchen and found some kind of cursed object, like some kind of shrivelled doll." Maki dangles the object in front of her face, waving it side to side as she tries to figure out what its use is, or who made it.

"salmon."

"that's weird."

"creepy." Gojo adds. "listen, i'm going out of the range of communication, i'm chasing down 3 special grade cursed spirits. don't die guys!" he cheers and is then abruptly cut off.

"great. there goes our strongest." Nobara deadpans.

"Where did mira go." Nanami flatly inquires, causing the two students to whip their heads around, noticing the disappearance of Y/Ns sister.

"shit.", "she must've walked off without us, we gotta catch up to her she can't be left on her own." Y/N rushes forward with the two others, and when they made the turn around the corner of the corridor- there was no going back.

There stood Kenjaku, towering over Mira, that same sadistic smile etched into his face. "Thank you Mira, you've done enough."

"what the hell are you talking about?" Yuji shouts, stood in a defensive positioning, keeping his distance from the two and making sure his girlfriend does so- ready to protect her.

"mira, what are you doing? attack him!" Y/N pulls her katanas out, waiting for her sister to throw some flames or something at him.

but she doesn't.

Instead, she slowly turns around, her eyes glossy and eyebrows turned upwards, taking a couple steps back so she was inline with the man who was in the form of the one she loves. Mira looks to the floor, refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

"no..." Y/N croaks, faltering in her moves now unsure of what to do. "i trusted you?.."

"Mira is a traitor. we're-" Nanami is cut off after he's sent flying into a wall.

"NANAMI!" Y/N and Yuji scream, quickly turning their body's to see who did it- a man with stitches all over his body stood with a sinister yet innocent smile plastered onto his face, he brings his hand up to wave- reminding Y/N of some kind of child. his existence seemed so wrong. it all was so wrong.

"you." Yuji says through gritted teeth, seething with hatred. something Y/N had never seen- it took her by surprise.

"I'll take care of this one. You two focus on the bigger issue at hand- i won't be long." or at least i will try not to be.Nanami wipes blood from his cheek where he had been cut from the blow, though it immediately starts bleeding again and he flatly sighs, beginning to chase after the curse user.

"is everything okay?" "hello can someone confirm you are okay?" "Nanami? L/N? Itadori? Anyone?" "please answer us immediately!"Hoards of questions flooded into their ear pieces, it was overwhelming.Y/N honestly didn't care to reply to them, not when she had to face the traitor who was her sister.

"we're okay. ran into Gaytoe? Geetoo?" Yuji rubs the back of his head awkwardly realising he forgot the enemies name that was right in front of him. A breathy laugh escapes from Y/Ns lips, considering the situation having him by her side made her feel more at ease.

"So it was all a lie, all along this was your plan?" Y/Ns voice cracks, her grip tightening around the handles of her blades. but she doesn't get a reply, her sister just stared at her, void of emotion."ANSWER ME." she screams out, the volume of her rage scratched her throat dry.

"you know what to do." Kenjaku began walking away.

"don't you dare walk away you monster." Y/N sends a pocket knife spinning through the air towards the man, aiming at his back but he moves to the side, pivoting right and grabs the blade between his fingers. he pokes the edge of it before his eyes open wide, his facial expression was terrifying- a  river of fear flooded her nerves as he sent the knife flying back and she just about dodged it, skimming her arm cutting the surface of her shoulder. Beads of blood dripped, but it wasn't enough for her to feel pain, the adrenaline pumping in her veins cancelled out the sting.

Mira gives her no time to respond, her fist is engulfed in brilliant flames, hues of orange and red danced along her flesh lighting up her face, her eyes empty, a window to her trapped soul, denying the reality of her soul tie being long-dead. Yuji and Y/N took each others hand and squeezed it, warmly smiling at each other before departing.

Y/N swings at Miras face but unfortunately she pivots to the side, sending a flame towards Yuji but he manages to duck below it, kicking her stomach sending her backwards crashing through a wall, disappearing into rubble and dust. A warm glow burns through the cloud and balls of fire are thrown forward, the two barely managing to dodge them, their bodies scraped by some of them. Mira lunges forward clenching her teeth together, she knocks down yuji by decking him in the cheek but Y/N elbows Mira catching her off guard and half-spins to roundhouse kicks her, causing her nose to pour with blood as she falls to the floor and onto her back.

"i meant what i said Y/N, i never abandoned you, i was always there, looking over you." she bounces up and punches Y/N in the jaw, knocking her backwards and punching her again, with her free hand she roughly grabs Y/Ns arm digging her nails into her skin and burning her flesh causing it to sizzle. she winces in pain and steps back.

"shut up, don't you dare talk to me like we're sisters. you betrayed me, again, for a man who's been dead for a long time." venom laced in her words injected Mira with hurt, noticing her moment of weakness, Yuji jumps onto the cursed flame user, straddling her as he sends multiple punches onto her face, but she manages to grab one of his fists and with her other hand burns his torso, she takes advantage of his shock she kicks him off to the side reversing their roles. Y/N jumps onto her and they both roll off, her gun spinning off onto the floor in the middle of them. Her eyes widen and she reaches out to it, trying to get to it before Mira notices- but to her dismay Mira sprints and grabs it, aiming for not her, but the pink haired boy she knows her sister loves.

"what-"

"he's never coming back." Mira bites her lip in an attempt to stop it from quivering, salty tears dripping down her face, stinging as it mixes with blood from her cuts and rough patches.

"Nanami, we need you now." Yuji speaks into his ear piece through gritted teeth.

"i'm on my way. status report?" the sound of running echoes back through nanamis response- the slight chance of hope returned within the pink haired boy.

"suguru is never coming back. that man tricked me for years- he took the one thing i want."mira cocks the gun and gulps, eyes narrowing at the boy "so i'm gonna take the one thing he wants."

the world seemed to slow as mira fixated onto Yuji- her breath was calm and steady. she had made up her mind, she knew what she was going to do. the sight which played out in front of Y/N sent chills down her spine, every fibre of her being, her soul told her,screamed at her to move she would not let the premonition play out.

she refused to lose him, not again. the vision clung to her like a shadow ever since she saw it, her lovers lifeless body bathing in his own blood.

"NO!" she screamed, throwing herself forward, a blurred motion between the bullets and Yuji.Just like she saw all the months ago,

3 shots were fired.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"Mira i'm scared!" the five year old Y/N clung to her older sisters school skirt, trembling as they stood in front of a grade 3 spirit they came across while walking home. Her older sister says nothing, instead she pats her head and walks up to the spirit, looking back to her sister with a grin before looking back again.

"now you listen here ugly, you are scaring my sister with your revolting appearance- it's disgusting!" she wags her finger at the spirit who doesn't seem to comprehend a word she's saying. instead, it lunges forward at her but with one swift slice and fire, the curse is exorcised.

The little girl didn't see anything happen, she was too busy crouching down and covering her eyes, shaking even more as she hears footsteps nearing her vulnerable state. "you don't have to be afraid Y/N." hands than hers wrap around her wrists and reveal Mira, the golden glow of the setting sun blaring behind her. Y/N tilts her head to see behind her and the curse was gone, a wide grin forms on her face- excitement replacing her fear. She jumps into her sisters embrace, clutching onto her as she stands up, holding her little sister in her arms and spins her around- the two laughing. Mira presses her forehead against her little sisters', "as long as i'm here, i'll never let anything hurt you."

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Y/N staggered forward, closer to Yuji as tears brimmed her eyes.

Her lips parted slightly, about to say something but closes again.

she clutches at her torso while a sharp pain surges through her lungs, her breathe rattling and falling out of rhythm. Her abdomen burned, and her legs finally buckled as she slammed to the floor.

she was sure she could hear Yuji shout, though they were within a close proximity he sounded distant, as if she was underwater and his voice was muffled- her ears ringing. Y/N gasped for air, drowning in a pain which seems to be getting worse and worse, her hand shakily lifted in front of her face, the crimson blood covering her fingers was something she recognised from the premonition. but, she never thought it would be her own.

Her head was lifted into yujis lap as he lightly shook her, placing his hand on her cheek to make her face him. "Y/N... no no no no stay with me, come on! stay awake!" he pressed his hand against one of her wounds, his eyes frantically moving over her body, her clothes damp with the warm red liquid and his face was pale- as if he was about to throw up. "shit, someone help! Y/Ns down, she's- she's been shot!" he screams down the ear piece, multiple responses flooded in.

"i..." Y/N coughed out, struggling to even form a full sentence. her body felt weaker and number- she began losing feeling of her legs her breathing was shaky and weak. between each breath it took longer for the next one to come.

"no please save your words, i can't... i can't lose you not like this." he shakes his head in denial, his lip uncontrollably quivering. tears fell from his eyes onto her cheeks, blending with her own.

She thought it would be Yuji lying here, bleeding out.i guess fate really can be rewritten.

"remember.. i said i... saw this" she wheezes, coughing up blood leaving a sour metallic taste in her mouth "vision" Y/N murmurs weakly.

the despair on his face mixes with heartbreak when he recalls- a raw anguish on his face as he sobs "no.. it should've been me! you should've let it be me! you-"

Y/N slightly shakes her head, a small smile graces her lips even in a situation like this, she manages to smile- like he would if they were reversed "that... wouldn't have been a proper death." "you.. have so much to left do and.. to live your life to the ful..lest." she reaches her hand up shakily to touch his cheek. there was a bittersweet softness in her gaze as they held eye contact, he pressed his cheek into her palm and with his hand he rested it gently ontop of hers.

"don't speak like that." "we're going to get you help."

on time, nanami quickly runs up, his eyes widen at the scene which was before him, mira had a gun at her side as she trembled, her eyes also wide as she looks at her sisters life slowly slipping away in the arms of the boy she was supposed to kill.But Nanami knows,

he was too late.

Yuji recognises the look in Nanamis eyes and chokes back a sob, "where's gojo?" he croaks.

the gun drops from Miras trembling hand,clattering uselessly onto the tiles of the floor. "no.. no what did i.. what did i do!" she reaches out as if she can somehow do something, as if it'll turn back time but she stops herself- hesitant to get too close, to cause any more damage than she already has. Nanami kicks the gun away and grabs Mira by her hair and slams her to the floor, pushing his knee onto her back and her cheek roughly pressed against the cold tiles. she makes no attempt to fight back, too deep in a state of shock.

"we still have so much to do together, we were going to go on holiday remember?" he chokes out, wiping blood off her cheek and kissing the back of her hand in an attempt of comfort. "please."

"protect my sister.. and live a long life,i l-" her eyes slowly began to close, no matter how hard she fought to keep them open, she was slipping away, and everyone surrounding knew.

"Tell that idiot to hold on longer." Megumi commanded, but it sounded like he was begging. she chuckles but ends up coughing up more blood instead. she squeezes Yujis hand with all her strength, knowing it was the last time she'd feel his embrace.

"i love you."

so much.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

she was gone.

there was no bringing her back, the weight of miras decision settled heavily upon on her. the echo of the gunshots was still haunting her, yet they all sat in a deathly silence- the girls body limp in yuji itadori arms. Yuji sobbed, bringing her body closer to his, squeezing her in his embrace as he cradled her.

Grief and despair surged in miras body- consuming her alive as grief gnawed and ripped at her soul. "why?" she whispered, her heart shattering when she truly grasps what she had done. Nanami had finally let her go, and she crawled towards her sister, even though she was 17 now, she was still the 5 year old girl she remembered.

her eyes widened when Yuji gently laid Y/Ns body into her lap, her head falling effortlessly into miras arms. she wanted to say something, but hesitated when he got up and walked away from them. There was distant footsteps approaching, but all she could do was hold her sister tightly, as if the pressure would bring her back.

others finally arrived, Megumi and Nobara stood paralysed in shock.

"you bitch" megumi spat and charged forward towards Mira, but Yuji stops him, his palm resting against megumi chest. he shakes his head, his silence speaking louder than any words could.

Nobara looks towards Nanami, who seemed conflicted but didn't initiate any attacks. he wanted to, he was furious- but that's not what she wanted, and he had to respect that.

Yuji turns back around, his slow footsteps filled the void of silence in the hallway as he went back to the lifeless body which lay on the ground and gently picked her up, he was so gentle, she was a porcelain doll and he was terrified she was going to break in his hold. he looked down at her while holding her bridal style, his eyes trailing down her face, unable to remember the last time he saw her sleeping so peacefully.
