𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 '𝑮𝒆𝒕𝒐' 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒂. Halloween had passed, Christmas and even new years, the threat became empty and some began to believe it was just a scare tactic and that they actually had no intentions on fighting.

The air smelt damp and fresh, the sun shone down on the wet pavements from the early morning rain which coated the vibrant leaves and flowers that surrounded Jujutsu High School with water droplets. A couple months had passed since you and Yuji had become a couple and things were great, he surprised you with flowers occasionally and you guys had sleepovers often, sometimes joint with Megumi and Nobara. Even though you had become one of Sukunas vessels, he was always the one to consume the fingers and you rarely even heard from Sukuna, only when he decided he was really bored and wanted to taunt you.

Currently, you were outside sat on the grass enjoying the cold breeze and the contrasting warm glow of the sun when you feel a pair of hands from behind you cover your eyes.

"Hmm, I wonder who that could be." Y/N sarcastically taps a finger on her chin before feeling the hands remove from her face and sees her boyfriend sit next to her. Yuji lies down on her lap and peers up at her without blinking, his eyes wandering over her every feature. "..Don't look at me like that." it was now her turn to cover his eyes, feeling her cheeks heat up.

"Why not?" he removes her hand, keeping it in his grasp and tilts his head in confusion.

"Heyyy lovebirds, what's up!" Nobara calls out as she walks towards the two, followed by Megumi and shortly behind them is Gojo, a small plastic bag swinging in his hand as he walked.

"Hey Nobara, Megumi and...Gojo? I thought it was just us guys hanging out." Yuji peers over your shoulder at the three.

"Megumi invited me!" Gojo slings his arms round the usually nonchalant boy who now appears agitated.

"No, I didn't." He shrugs Gojo off of him and almost dramatically throws himself onto the ground, slouching slightly as he pulls out his phone becoming engrossed in whatever it was he was doing on the device.

"So if it wasn't Megumi that invited you then what are you doing here Gojo?" Yuji crosses his legs and begins picking at the grass below him.

"Can i not come and check on my favourite students? You guys are my responsibility after all." Gojo leans back on his elbows, sprawling out his long legs almost kicking Megumi which earns him a glare but Gojo doesn't move, instead he playfully sticks his tongue out. "Oh! and i have a present for you Yuji!" Gojo dives into the bag he brought with him with his hand, this intrigued all of the students as they gathered round, watching in anticipation (even Megumi peered up from his phone).

"Ta..." he gets ready to pull something out of the bag "Daaaaa!!" the 4 students visibly deflate and groan.It's nothing more than Sukunas finger.

"This feels more like a punishment than a present." Yuji pouts while he watches Gojo swing the finger around in the air in front of him like he's teasing a dog with a treat.

"Oh come on! this is what..the seventh one? Surely it gets easier to eat each time."

"Why are you casually carrying that around?" Y/N puffs up her cheeks and lets out a long sigh, she the combination of the overwhelming power from the finger and the disgusting smell wafting into her nostrils made her feel nauseous.

"Well, gonna eat it?" Gojo tosses it to Yuji who catches it and examines the finger, gulping before throwing it into his mouth. He clutches at his neck and goes pale, eyes watering as if he's about to throw it back up. Y/N sympathetically rubs his back hoping to ease his struggle (which doesn't work), Sukunas marks appear on his face for a second until they fade away and Yuji downs some water Gojo also brought in the bag. He gargles it in his mouth like mouth wash and spits it out to the side, earning him a disgusted look from Megumi.

"Say Y/N, how come you don't eat any of the fingers? Isn't this whole execution thing pointless now, even if Yuji does eat all of the fingers, you've still ate one of them so even if Yuji does die Sukunas still technically going to live on in you." A thoughtful silence fell over the group after what Nobara said, Y/N would be lying if she said she wasn't thinking the same thing. She looks to Gojo, assuming he knows what to say.

"Nobaras not wrong. The previous plan is pointless now, if one of you die, Sukuna will still be alive in the other one. After your sister paid us a visit and i revealed the 'secret', principal Yaga snitched to the higher ups and they actually want you executed as soon as possible." Gojo played with his blindfold, sustaining his casual demeanour not seeming to be bothered by what he just said.

"and you're only telling me this now?!"Y/N shrieks in shock with her jaw nearly on the floor, though she knew at some point the higher ups would find out.

"I guess i forgot, must've slipped my mind.." Gojo nervously chuckled, standing up and dusting the stray grass strands off his uniform. "Oops?" he shrugs.

"THATS NOT SOMETHING YOU FORGET!" The four students yell and Gojo ruffles his hair, crouching back down to Y/N.

"Yeah well i'm not gonna let it happen." "I'll protect you Y/N, I am the strongest after all." he flicks the girls forehead and begins to walk off as she rubs where he hit, feeling a stinging sensation while mumbling insults under her breath. Y/N begins to pick at grass, peeling it apart watching as the strands slowly separate and drops it back on the floor returning it back to where it came from.

"Crap i forgot i have to ask him about next weeks test!" Nobara facepalms and quickly stands up, chasing after her teacher who is in sight but still far away.

"Tch, idiot forgot her bag." Megumi also stands up and grabs his and hers bag, lightly patting Y/Ns head as a goodbye as he passes her by, lazily slinging his bag over his shoulder.

Now it was only Yuji and Y/N sat together, he examined his girlfriend to try understand what she was feeling right now, recalling his own thoughts when he was told he was going to be executed. He was okay with it because he knew he was going to save people by doing so, however he wouldnt let Y/N even think about allowing herself to be executed. "you okay?" he pokes her cheek and she nods humming as she does so.

"I don't really know why i was so shocked to be honest, I guess hearing that i'm going to be executed out loud sounds worse than it does in my head." she lets out a breathy laugh and picks a daisy out of the ground, spinning it between her fingers watching the petals swirl around before she turns to Yuji and puts it in his hair just by his ear giving him a weak smile.He pressed his lips together before pulling the girl close.

"I stand with Gojo Y/N. I'll protect you, even if it means putting my life on the line for you. that would be a proper death, i'd do anything for you." he pressed his forehead against Y/Ns and her jaw tenses up before she lets out a small giggle at the fact he's still on the proper death business. "i promi-" their heartfelt moment together is abruptly cut off by a loud scream, their heads whip to the direction of the sound and once again turn to look towards each other.

"I'm like ninety nine percent sure that you're not supposed to follow the screams, that's always the biggest mistake in the horror movies." I followed after Yuji who was in front of me but he probably didn't hear anything i just said or he was ignoring me given that his pace quickens up, turning the corner until he stops dead in his tracks causing me to nearly bump into his back. "hey why'd we st-."

Yuji puts his arm out in front of me preventing me from stepping any further but I peer over his shoulder to see what was going on. Unsurprisingly, Gojo's already here with Nobara and Megumi, but what I couldn't seem to work out is why Mira was on the floor covered in injuries and blood. Though she was our enemy, something inside me ached at the sight of seeing her at the hands of so much pain. I move past Yuji and dodge his attempt at trying to grab my hand, kneeling down to inspect her face, she was out cold. "She's unconscious. We need to get her to Shoko." I look towards Gojo, waiting for an answer though he doesn't say anything, instead he scoops up Mira into his arms peering down at her and begins walking off to (I assumed) Shoko.

"I still didn't ask him about next weeks test." Nobara mutters under her breath which earns her a pinch from Megumi and I just shake my head, unsure of what the future holds.

Shoko managed to heal up most of Miras' injuries knowing some are probably going to leave some nasty scars. She folds her arms over her chest scanning the girl on the medical bed, memories from their high school days flashing in her mind. When the two would sneak off together to smoke behind the gymnasium and laugh at Gojo and Geto get told off together almost every other day. "What have you become." she sighs lowly.

"Say something?" Gojo walks over to his old friend.

"No."

"Hm."

The two stood in silence until Gojo made the first move, almost collapsing into an arm chair, manspreading as he came forward resting his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. "What do you plan on doing?" Shoko writes something onto a clipboard and place it back onto a desk, placing the pen back into her lab coats pocket.

"I'll question her first, and then after that..well probably kill her." Gojo leans back in his chair his hands folded over his stomach waiting to see Shokos reaction.

"And Geto?"

"That's not Suguru. It's some imposter using his body." Shoko stares down at the floor, feeling her heart ache and mouth go dry.

"I need a smoke. Can I leave you here?"

Gojo doesn't say anything but nods, watching the unconscious girl in front of him waiting for any sign of movement. He doesn't move and neither does she. It's unbearably boring. He whistles a made up tune until a rustle of sheets brings him to a stop. She's awake.

"Oh good! You're awake. I was beginning to think you'd never wake up!" he claps his hands together as he swings himself off the chair, walking over towards Mira. He towers over her watching her eyes flicker over, covering her from the harsh light until he moves again and her eyes close once more. "No dont go back to sleep now." he lightly slaps the side of her face waking her up again, watching her sit up.

"What..Where am I?" she utters, looking around the room until she looks up at the white haired sorcerer. "Gojo?".

"Morning sunshine, well afternoon. You're in Jujutsu High school, though.. that was probably your plan all along." he eerily smiles, waiting for a reaction out of his old classmate.

"What? No. I-"

"ah-ah-ah, don't play dumb with me, you know that doesn't work on me." he tuts.

"I'm serious Gojo. I never planned this, I left Getos side and next thing I knew he beat me to a pulp and now I'm somehow here."

He tilts his head, intruiged by her words. "Oh really? Now why would you do that? Why now when you should've done that all those years ago."

"Because he wants Y/N gone!" She exclaims, voice cracking as she does so. "After you stupidly told us Y/N and Itadori are Sukunas vessels he decided she was just in the way, blocking our paths to success. So, ultimately he said I have to kill Y/N."

Gojo replays what she just said in his head before humming, "so you left because you didn't want to kill her?"

"I may have done some bad things Gojo but she's still my sister. I realise now I'm never going to get the old Geto back."

"Took you long enough." he kisses his teeth and she glares at him before resuming with what she was previously saying.

"I want to protect her, Y/N, and defeat Geto once and for all. This has to stop, it's all gone too far."

"Now you decide it's gone too far?" Gojo huffs, plopping himself back into the chair.

"Gojo please-"

Mira is interrupted by the door opening, "Gojo is she awake yet- oh." Y/N stands awkwardly at the door, her hand still wrapped around the handle.

"Yup."

"Y/N-"

"Youuu don't get to speak to her!" Gojo smiles while ushering Y/N out of the door as she attempts to protest. Y/N manages to sneak under his arm and walks up to her older sisters bed, perching herself onto the end of the bed, struggling to hold eye contact feeling as if she'll crumble remembering when her own flesh and blood tried to attack her.

"Why are you here Mira, what are you trying to achieve?" Y/N speaks up, rubbing her head feeling a headache begin to come on.

Mira plays with her bed sheet in between her fingers and swallows the bubble in her throat, "if we don't stop Geto then,
