Normal P.O.V
Hayami was getting ready for the day like normal. She was standing infront of her mirror while brushing her hair when a box through the mirror caught her attention.
She stopped brushing her hair and looked at the box behind her. She didn't recognize the box as all of her stuff was unpacked. Was it one of Satoru's boxes that came here by mistake?
Hayami grabbed the box and placed it on her bed and opened the box curiously. Luckily she decided to get up early today and get ready.
She opened the box and saw a couple things inside. One was a picture frame that caught her attention. She picked it up and her eyes widened when she saw a woman in the frame. The mysterious woman looked beautiful in the picture. Hayami wondered why would her father keep a picture of such a beautiful woman? Was she like a past lover of her father?
She had long (H/C) hair and (E/C) colour eyes that looked like jewels shining in the sun. Hayami put the frame down and saw some pictures with her father in some of them. He looked so happy with this woman.
Hayami was so engrossed in looking in the box that she didn't hear her father calling out to her from outside her door.
"Hayami? Let's go!" Satoru called from outside.
"..."
"Hayami?" He called out again. But didn't receive a reply. Satoru got kinda worried and burst into the room thinking something happened to his daughter.
"Hayami! Why weren't you answering me?!" Gojo asked once he saw his daughter alright and alive.
"O-Oh? Dad! I didn't hear you. Sorry." She quickly did her hair and grabbed her stuff that she needed like her katana.
"Let's go!" She dragged her father out of her room and looked at the box that she hid before her father could enter and see the box.
"I won't be with you guys today since I have a business trip. But don't worry Ijichi will be with you guys. I'll bring you back a souvenir!" He explained and I nod knowing he's not on a business trip. "Okay. Love you dad!" I kissed his cheek and headed to find my friends.
{•°•°•°•°•°•°•}
I looked at the building infront of me which was the Eishu Juvenile Detention Center along with Nobara, Megumi and Itadori.
"Our window verified the cursed womb three hours ago. Over 90 percent successfully evacuated, they made the call to seal of the centre." Said Ichiji. He is a Magic College Assistant Director. "Citizens within a 500 meter radius have been evacuated as well."
"I have a question, Mr Ichiji." Itadori raised his hand.
"What is a 'window'?"
"A window is a authorized combat personnel who can confirm curses by sight. However, they are not Jujutsu Sorcerers." He explained.
"Oh, I see."
"Allow me to continue. I side dorm 2 of this detention center, there are five prisoners left with the cursed womb. If the cursed womb manages to mutate, we predict that it will transform into a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."
"Special Grade..."
"Hey, I still don't really get all this 'Special Grade' stuff." Itadori says to us. Nobara sighs and megumi looks irritated.
While Ichiji explains to Yuji about Special Grades. I sigh and listen in on what Ichiji says.
"That's very dangerous!" Yuji exclaimed.
"Usually, they dispatch Jujutsu Sorcerers with an equal level to the Cursed Spirit." Megumi explains.
"In today's case, it would have been someone like Gojo-sensei."
"I see." Itadori says.
"So where's Gojo-sensei?" Itadori asks and looks at us.
"He said he's on a business trip." I tell him.
"What?"
"In the first place, someone of his caliber, wasn't supposed to be wasting time in a high school."
"Unfortunately, we're always understaffed in this line of business. Sorcerers often have to manage tasks way beyond their capabilities." Ichiji says.
Mr Ichiji adjusts his glasses. "However, this is an emergency case. 'Fighting is strictly forbidden.' If you encounter a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, your only choices are to escape or to die."
I shiver as I thought of the two choices.
"Please heed your fears. Don't forget that your mission is to confirm and rescue any survivors."
'Alright we just need to confirm and rescue any survivors. That sounds okay.' I think to myself when suddenly I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard a woman's voice.
"Excuse me, about Tadashi..."
"You can't do this! Please stand back!" The guards held her back as she tried to get past them.
"Tadashi! Tadashi...is my son, Tadashi, alright?" She cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Calm down, it's dangerous here."
"Let go of me!"
"Please stand back!"
I looked away from the mother as I knew that her son was probably dead by now. It would be a miracle if he's still alive or anyone else."
Mr Ichiji stood infront of Itadori as his eyes wavered.
"She's one of the victims guardians." He explains to him.
"Please go back. It is suspected that someone has spread poison within the facility. No further information can be disclosed for the time being." Mr Ichiji explains to the mother.
"How could it be?" She broke down crying onto the floor.
"Why? Why is this happening?" She cried with tears in her eyes.
It started raining and suddenly Itadori called out.
"Fushiguro. Kugisaki. Hayami. Let's rescue them." He cracked his knuckles and looked at us.
"Of course." Nobara said. Megumi stared ahead and I nod my head.
{•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•}
We headed inside the centre while Ichiji watched us go inside.
"Please be careful."
Ichiji raised his hand and made a sign with his fingers. "I'm putting up the Veil." He informed us.
"Emerge from darkness, that which is darker than black. Purify this impurity."
A black veil covered the area making it look like night.
"What?" Itadori says as he looks outside. "It's turning into night time!"
"That's the Veil." I say as we stop to explain Itadori.
"We're very close to residential areas this time, so it's a barrier to conceal us from the outside world." Megumi says.
"This is awesome!"
I laugh a little bit at yuji's excitement.
"How ignorant." Nobara said.
Megumi put his hands together and summoned his demon dog.
"Devine Dogs."
The white dog materialized and howled.
"As soon as the curse approaches, it will let us know." Megumi informed us.
'Megumi's devine dogs are so cute!!!' I squealed in my head.
"Oh, I see!" Itadori said happily and began petting the dog. "Your such a good boy! We'll be counting on you." I couldn't help but also pet the white dog on his head. I had too. Their adorable!
The front door opened and the demon dog walked in first.
"Let's go."
Megumi said to us and we made our way inside the domain. We entered the building when megumi suddenly told us to wait.
"Wait!"
We stopped and looked around us and saw that the building was much higher than it looked from outside and eerie too.
"What is that?" Nobara asked taken back.
"The hell?" I said also taken back.
"What's going on? Isn't this supposed to be a dormitory with two floors?" Itadori asked as he looked up.
"Calm down! This is a duplex building!" Nobara said trying to be brave.
"Damn what kind of domain is this?" I asked abit scared.
Suddenly megumi shouted. "Where's the door?"
"What?" The three of us say.
We looked back instantly in the direction of where the door was or well where it once was. We didn't see it there. It disappeared!
"The door has disappeared!" Itadori said shocked.
"Why? Didn't we just enter from there?!" Nobara panicked.
"That's right." Yuji nodded his head.
Then the two began dancing around in circles chanting that it will be okay and what should they do.
"It will be fine. The dog can remember the scent of the entrance." Megumi said.
"Oh, my!" The two said in unison.
"Good boy! Let me feed you some jerky! Give me all the jerkies here! Nobara said as Itadori ruffled the dogs fur and the dog looked happy.
"Come on! Be serious! Like hayami!" Megumi scolded them.
"Oh I'm just holding myself back from hugging your adorable dog!" I say to him and ruffled the dogs fur along with Itadori.
"Fushiguro, your so reliable!" Itadori said to him with a big smile on his face.
"What?"
"With your help, we can save the survivors as well as ourselves!"
Megumi stared at him before closing his eyes. "Let's move."
We made our way through the domain with the white demon dog leading us until we reached a doorway.
We all stopped when we saw the mangled corpse's lying on the floor. My eyes widened as I tried to keep the bile from coming up my throat as i tried not to look at the bodies.
"What the fuck?? A curse did that?" I asked myself as i calmed myself down.
Itadori rushed over to the corpse's and his eyes widened slightly.
"How terrible..." Nobara said.
"I guess it's safe to say that there are three people." Megumi said.
Itadori crouched down and moved the man's shirt over to see his name that was on his shirt. His eyes widened as he saw the name 'Tadashi.'
He remembered that he was that woman's son from earlier.
"I'm taking this body back." Itadori said.
"What?"
"He is that woman's son." He said.
"But..." Nobara spoke but Yuji continued speaking.
"His face is still recognizable. Telling her that he's dead without showing the body...Of course, his mother couldn't accept it."
I knew it would be hard to carry a dead body around with us a defeat that curse so it wasn't going to happen.
Megumi walked up to Itadori and pulled the hood of his uniform. "We have to confirm the status of the remaining two people so leave that body here."
"You're kidding! The path we came from disappeared! There's no chance of coming back later!" Yuji turned his head to look up at megumi who still held his hood.
"I'm not saying we're coming back! I'm saying we're leaving him here!" Megumi shouted to the boy.
"I have no intention of risking my own life to save someone I had no intention of saving in the first place."
Itadori held megumi's collar. "You didn't intend to save them? What do you mean?"
"This is a juvenile detention center. Jujutsu Sorcerers receives information on the crime scene in advance." Megumi said. I knew what he was talking about since I read Tadashi's background.
"Tadashi Okazaki...he was driving without a license and hit a young girl who was on her way home from school and this is his second offence. You've always wanted to save civilians and point them to the right death." Itadori looked shocked, staring at megumi.
"But what if the person you saved takes someone else's life later?" He shouted at him.
"Then why did you save me?" Yuji shouted back. Megumi didn't reply as they both leaned forward.
"Stop it already! Jeez! What are you two doing? Are you fools?" Nobara interfered trying to stop them.
"Consider the time and occasion-" She was cut off when a black portal appeared from under her feet and sucked her into the dark abyss.
"What the heck-" I was cut off when the same thing happened to me.
