The next morning you're awoken by loud knocks on your door and Gojo calling out to you. "Y/N!" he shouts, "Time to get up, that's enough beauty rest!"
It's morning already? You groan as you roll over in bed, Was last night even real?
"Just because you had a busy evening last night doesn't mean you get to sleep in all day!" he continues to call out from the other side of the wall. Immediately you realize it hadn't been a dream. You quickly sit up and swing your feet around to the side of your bed. "You're going on another trip with the first years today!"
"Alright, alright, I'll be right out," you shout back as you stand up.
"Oh, and by the way, you don't have to wear the girls' uniform as long as you wear black," he adds. "But you can if you want... you do look cute in that skirt."
"Gojo, go away!" you huff as you walk across the room.
"I'll be waiting," he hums. "Don't take too long admiring your room."
After he's done speaking, Gojo walks away. For a moment you're left confused with his words. What does he mean by 'admiring' my room? You shake it off until your hands reach the handle to your dresser. You look up and see the walls of your room have been painted. You turn around and find your room beautifully decorated with lights, plants, and blankets so soft you fell right asleep before noticing anything else last night.
Turning back to your dresser, you open it up to see that it's fully stocked with all kinds of clothes. A lot of them you don't remember trying on or seeing Gojo purchase yesterday so where could they have come from?
You decide to put the mystery to bed for now since Gojo's waiting for you. After fixing yourself up in the bathroom you come back to put on a black shirt with a single sleeve and a black skirt that Gojo bought for you yesterday. You also find a pair of black boots that you slide easily into.
When you're ready, you leave your room and step outside. There, you find Gojo with a huge smirk on his face. "Ah, I'm glad you stuck with the skirt thing," he hums. You go to strike him with your hand but are stopped short by his infinity.
"You ass," you growl.
"Don't be like that," he sighs, "the kids are watching."
With that, you look to the side and see the three first-years watching you. You're shocked and disappointed in yourself that you hadn't seen them standing there. Quickly, you drop your hand back to your side and smile. "Good morning," you hum.
"Good morning," Yuuji replies as he does his best to hold in a chuckle.
"Morning, Y/N," Kugisaki teases, not even attempting to hold back a smirk.
Lastly, Megumi replies with a quick, "Good morning," as though it was business as usual.
You nod to them before leaning to Gojo and whispering for only him to hear. "You really shouldn't be making comments like that in front of your students..."
"Oh come on, Y/N," he chuckles, not keeping to the low way of speaking like you had, "they're old enough to know about that kinda stuff so it's okay."
"That's not what I meant," you reply through gritted teeth. You then suddenly remember what happened back in your room and turn to face the three kids. "Did you guys set all of that stuff up in my room?" you ask sincerely.
Together, the three of them nod. With a huge grin, you pull them close and thank them. "It means a lot," you admit as you pull away. "I've never had any place that looked as nice as my room does now. I really appreciate the thought you all put into it."
Even though they're only a few years younger than me, I love these kids. I can't believe the effort they put into making me feel welcome here. It's something I never felt before coming to this school...
Gojo then wraps his arm around your shoulder and turns to his three students. "Time to go," he says, "I've got a job for the four of you."
A few seconds later, you arrive with Gojo and the students at some sort of daycare. Except there's absolutely nobody around and all of the lights are shut off.
"Hey, where are all the kids?" Yuuji asks as he walks towards the building and peers in a window.
"Everyone evacuated a little awhile ago, claiming that weird things were going on within the building," Gojo explains.
"That means curses, right?" you ask seriously.
"Bingo!"
"So then, what grade?" Megumi asks, to which Gojo smirks.
"The four of you will do well if you work as a team," he eventually remarks.
You sigh at the implications of his words. "You're not coming in again?"
"No," he replies plainly. "The four of you need to learn how to go about things on your own without me doing all the work for you."
"All the work?!" you mutter, "You never do the work."
At the sound of your smart comment, he grabs you by the back of your neck and pulls you close to him. You watch with wide eyes as your three teammates walk into the building, getting a head start.
Gojo leans down to your ear, his lips hovering just above your skin. "You know that isn't true, Y/N," he teases.
Your face heats up at his words. You're so glad the three others have gone.
"Well then," he hums as he lets you free, "good luck, Y/N. I'll wait for you out here."
"Yeah, okay," you say as you shoo him off. "The four of us will be fine. I don't need your luck."
The last thing you hear from outside is Gojo's laughter until the door shuts behind you. You begin to walk in and look around for the others, calling out to them but getting absolutely no response.
You then turn back around and run to the front entrance. The handles to the doors are gone. You call out to Gojo as you bang on the doors but to no avail. That's when you hear Kugisaki's scream ring out.
Immediately you take off in the direction of her voice. You run deeper into the daycare to ultimately find Kugisaki sitting against a wall covered in blood.
"Kugisaki!" you shout as you slide on your knees before her. "Are you okay? Can you stand?"
"I don't think so," she replies with a huff of air as she attempts to adjust herself. "My leg's broken I think."
"Okay," you say, attempting to stay cool under the situation. "I'll carry you. Let's go find a way out."
Despite protests from Kugisaki to leave her there, you pick her up and carry her back through the building. You set her down gently by the entrance and begin to look around for something to break down the door.
"Y/N," Kugisaki calls out weakly, "just leave me here. Help the boys and then come back. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" you say sadly, not wanting to leave her alone. When she nods you sigh and give in to what she wants. "Okay, stay here and don't move. I'll be back."
"Be careful!" Kugisaki musters enough energy to shout as you run away.
You run through the daycare, checking each room in an attempt to find the guys. When you reach the gym at the end of a hallway, the sound of laughter causes you to stop in your tracks. It was Sukuna's laugh. As per usual when your body recognizes that Sukuna's awake, it screams at you to turn around, get Kugisaki, and get the hell out of there.
However, despite all of the arguing in your head, you step forwards slowly through the pressure. When you enter the room, you find Megumi unconscious on the ground. As for Yuuji, he's on all fours coughing up blood and fighting down Sukuna from taking over.
"Yuuji!" you shout as you rush towards him.
He throws out his hand, signaling for you to stay away. "Get back!" he shouts.
"Don't let him out!"
"Y/N," he groans as his body shakes from the intense pressure he's under, "there's more than one special grade here. We can't do this alone..."
"Gojo's right outside. If we can get him then-"
"He won't be able to get in," Yuuji interrupts, "they did something to the doors. We can't get out so Gojo won't be able to get in either."
"Shit," you huff as your mind fills with questions, "what the hell is going on?"
"Sukuna..." he says breathlessly as he falls flat on his chest, "Sukuna will help. He said so..."
As you shout out the pink-haired boy's name you run up to him. You take his head in your hands and gently tap his cheek to bring him back to consciousness. However, as black lines form on his body you are pushed away from him.
Just then you hear footprints from a pair of shoes and the laugh of a familiar voice. "Wow," a man's voice says excitedly, "I can't believe how well this went to my plan!"
"You bastard! Stop hiding in the dark and come out here!"
