3RD PERSON POV

Nobara: So you're 17 Huh? I'm 16.

Y/N: And you're training to be a Jujutsu sorcerer in Tokyo Eh? That's pretty neat.

Nobara: From what I've heard you should be a sorcerer. Not everyone can sense things you can.

Y/N: The sorcerers always call bullshit though cause I have no cursed energy. But I ain't lying. I can see things others can't. Even sorcerers can't see them either unless they show themselves.

Nobara: Hmm...well if we get out of this shithole, might as well introduce you to Gojo Sensei. He'll like you.

Y/N: He seems like an alright guy.

Nobara: Annoying as fuck along with my teammates.

*PLOP*

Nobara: *sigh* The Biwa girl is outside isn't she?

Y/N: Yeah.

*GRAB*

Nobara opens the door and throws the spirit into the room before she and Y/N sprint to the elevator and they punch the button as fast as they could.

Nobara/Y/N: CMON YOU STUPID ############### CMON!

*DING*

Later

Y/N: Seriously? Another maze?

Nobara:....There's definitely one of those creatures patrolling these parts isn't there?

Y/N: And there's a certain path they don't patrol either. We're here, so we are going straight and then left, right, and left. Here, we should be able to know if a monster is approaching or not.

Nobara: And what if they spot us?

Y/N: Sprint right, right, left all the way down to the 2nd 4 way intersection, left, and right to the end of the hallway and right again to the end. Stay close to the intersection cause we need to know if we have time to run, and if we have the chance, right to the other end, right, and left and right to the elevator.

Nobara: Your call.

A faint noise was heard, though it was very far away as they head their way.

TURN LEFT

TURN RIGHT

TURN LEFT

They made a series of turns, and quickly approached an intersection.

Nobara: Shhhh....

Y/N:...............We're good.

TURN RIGHT

TURN RIGHT

TURN LEFT

HIDE

They immediately froze however and ducked behind the corner as a figure crawled down the hallway before making a right turn.

Y/N: We can wait for the intervals. If she goes to our right at the end, we move.

Nobara: Gotcha.

*BAM*

As soon as they peeked and saw where they wanted the figure to crawl to, they sprinted down and did exactly what Y/N said and made it to the checkpoint.

Y/N: Whew! Could use a drink.

Nobara: In your backpack dude.

They grabbed several bottles from Y/N's backpack before chugging half of it down and saving them for lat-

*THUD*

They froze as they heard footsteps though they faded.

Y/N: Another monster. Great.

Nobara: The other one doesn't seem to be coming though so we have time.

Y/N: And we can rest here.

They all slump to the ground, taking a break from all the chaos that was happening.

Nobara:....Don't lie to me. This witch they say is targeting you right?

Y/N: It's......just too much of a coincidence. Maybe this witch baited me here using my friends? My parents also gone missing...and the convenient messages and the voices I keep hearing-

Nobara: Yeah yeah you can see and hear things others can't. We're stuck in a hellhole so might as well.....your parents know anything?

Y/N: My parents always talked legends about the past. How my family lived in villages and such and fought in wars. But.....for some reason they keep disappearing out of thin air. Like something took them.

Nobara: So your lineage is being targetted by some cursed spirit......'Why do I feel like this is more than that?'

They talked for a moment before walking around the square they were in, arriving at the intersection with paths left and right.

Y/N: Wait for the noise.

*THUD*

*THUD*

Y/N: GO!

*BAM*

TURN RIGHT

TURN RIGHT

TURN LEFT

Y/N: IT'S CRAWLING ON THE CEILING TOWARDS US!

Nobara: MOVE FASTER YOU FAT ASS!

Y/N: MAKE ME!

Nobara: SHUT UP AND RUN!

They slammed right into the elevator, and Y/N punches the elevator button so the door closes just as the monster was just 10 feet away from them.

Y/N: Nobara are you alright?

Nobara: Y-Yeah...

The elevator wasn't particularly big, and Y/N found himself pinning Nobara into the corner of the elevator, her face tilted to the side to avoid direct eye contact. It was awkward to say the least, Y/N's face flushed as he finally pushed himself away from her.

Nobara: *grumble* Don't get so close next time....

Y/N: Sorry.

*CRACK*

The door bursts open and they all tumble onto the floor.

Y/N/Nobara: WE'RE ALIVE!

They see fresh air, no danger in sight as the hug each other tightly with Nobara lifting Y/N up.

Nobara: *hug* Mmmm....thanks.

Y/N: *hug* Your welcome. *turns* Hmmm...

Y/N: Well this is either a different world or a really big domain....but it can't possibly be extending for thousands of miles.

Nobara: We been walking and such for days.....I.....I don't even know how far we traveled. The 2nd floor of the hotel took forever.

They hung onto each other in the grass, feeling tired as they laid besides each other.

Y/N: Why are we tired?

Nobara: I don't know but.....at least we're safe I think.

Y/N: Someone has to keep watch though. Who knows who.....or what might show up....*yawn* But I don't think we have the energy to.

Nobara: *yawn* Yeah.....same. I guess it's-

*THUD*
They both collapsed onto the ground, closing their eyes-

DREAM

Sama:........INTERESTING. I CANNOT CURSE THEM BECAUSE OF YOU Y/N.

Sama: THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING HUMAN. EVEN WITH HIS BLOOD, YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END.

Y/N: 'This all must be a terrible nightmare....'
