DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN JUJUTSU KAISEN, ALL CREDIT GOES TO GEGE AKUTAMI-SENSEI.  I ONLY OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY.

This is the beginning of everything.  I feel like this chapter really hit me hard, maybe at the end of all this I'll explain a few things.  Maybe.

Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors.

Enjoy.

His feet felt like they were stuck in place as if they had grown roots and dug themselves deep into the ground making him unable to move at all.

No matter how much he tried to move, he couldn't move a single muscle.  He could only futilely try to reach out and call out in vain.  His voice seemed to have left him as well.

In front of him Junpei was talking to him.  The him of his memories, the him of that moment.

He was watching everything play out once again.  Watching and listening as everything played out as it did.

'STOP!  Junpei don't do this.  You have to leave quickly!' He tried to yell out, but not a single sound came out.

He could only watch on in horror as Mahito appeared beside Junpei, touched his shoulder and turned him into that disfigured human.

He couldn't turn away, nor close his eyes, as he watched it seemed that everything happened so slowly that he could see every single detail one by one.

Yuuji could see as Junpei's skin began to bubble up and slowly contort and change shape.  He could hear the sickening sound of bone breaking and resetting in place, see the color of his skin change.  Hear the tearing of his clothes as his changing body ripped them apart.

Yuuji saw himself begging for Sukuna to help him heal Junpei.  To help him change back, to save him.

His eyes burned as he watched everything.  Sukuna's and Mahito's mocking laughter echoed in his ears.

"You're weak."

"You can't save anyone let alone yourself."

"You failed your grandfather.'"

"You're going to die next."

Yuuji's eyes opened as he sat up in his bed drenched in sweat.  His shirt stuck to his skin like a second layer.

His damp hair stuck to his forehead.

Yuuji could feel and hear the erratic beating of his heart and his breathing as well.

Taking a few deep breaths trying to calm himself, Yuuji slowly got up from bed turned on the lights and headed to the closet.

He pulled out a new set of clothing, underwear and a towel and headed towards the bathroom.

He wanted to wash away the sweat, but he also wanted to wash away the lingering remnants of the nightmare from his mind.

His body shook and felt too cold than it should be considering the amount of sweat on him.

He slowly washed himself as he let the warm water wash away everything.  To clear his mind.  In the end he just leaned his head against the shower wall and let the water pour onto his head, shoulders and back.

He didn't know how long he stayed there, but by the time he felt an ache on his forehead from leaning for to long on the wall, the water had began to turn cold.
