Nanami sat in his kitchen watching the news whilst Shiloh went out to buy some groceries when his phone began to ring, Gojos contact popping up
"What does he want?" Nanami sighed, picking up the phone
"Kento, is Shiloh with you?" Gojo questioned his voice being extremely different from his usual
"No, she's gone to the shops, why?" Nanami asked the sound of Gojo clicking his tongue
"Turns out, your cousin is a strong star plasma candidate" Gojo sighed, Nanami feeling his heart drop
"The ones that get merged with tengen??" He said with a shaky breath "How do you know??"
"A higher up from my clan informed me, it was something that was being kept away from anyone who wasn't apart of them" Gojo sighed
"Then I need to find her, who knows what those guys will do once get their hands on her. They won't even consult us" Nanami said in a panicked tone
"I'm gonna call her, if she doesn't answer I'm contacting the higher ups" Nanami stated
"The higher ups aren't the only thing to worry about though, check thag cursed user website, a bud has been put up by another variant of the star religious group" Gojo stated
"I'm in the car with megumi right now, we're nearly at Tokyo meet up with me once we get there" Gojo said before noticing nanami had hung up a while ago
"What's happening to Shiloh?" Megumi questioned
"Megumi, I'm dropping you off at home, don't worry and if Shiloh makes her way to your house or you even catch a glimpse of her, contact us immediately" Gojo said sternly
☆═━┈┈━═☆
Shiloh made her way into a nearby park, sitting down and getting ready to eat the chocolate she'd gotten for herself when she noticed a shikigami making its way towards her, the girl quickly backing off only to find it was targeting her, Shiloh used her technique to decimate the creature only for a horde to appear forcing her to retreat behind the trees
"What's are shikigami doing out?" She thought, realising someone was behind her she turned around too late only to be met with a man's fist to her face, knocking her out
☆═━┈┈━═☆
Shiloh awoke to the distant sounds of men conversing in the corner a few meters from her, she kept her eyes half open trying to make sense of what they were talking about all she could gather was that she was apart of some ritual, yet she couldn't understand what or why
"There's still 24 hours until the assimilation and Satoru Gojo will be making his way here, if we can get her to that cult leader in time, we'll get paid extra" one man said, Shiloh already deducing she wasn't close to her home or jujutsu tech
"We'll take her down there in a few hours," Another, older man stated
The metallic taste of blood danced around her taste buds as she sat on the could hard floor, unable to do anything while tied up, her head was aching from how hard she'd been hit and she was sure she'd lost a tooth
"It's so cold"
"Wheres kento? Is he looking for me? Who's Tengen? What's assimilation?"
Shiloh felt utterly helpless, if only she could get out of these ties, then she'd be fine..
"Merging?" She murmured to herself "oh, I'm supposed to be merged with a guy named tengen" She concluded, the sound of a door creeking catching her attention
"Divine dogs" a familiar voice muttered, just loud enough that Shiloh could hear it, Shiloh watching in astonishment as Megumis shikigami began to attack one of the men
"Toad!" The voice said again as the girl felt something wet and slimy pull her away from the men, the dogs managing to inflict a severe amount of damage on the man whilst the boy untied her
"Megumi" Shiloh gasped
"You're safe now, don't worry" Megumi spoke softly as Shiloh massaged her wrist turning to face her hero
"Thank you" she breathed staring into his eyes
"She's so beautiful.." Megumi thought quickly shaking those thoughts away
Shiloh quickly whipped her bloodied mouth and looked around frantically, there were still two more..
"There were three of them" she said as the two men appeared just as she said that
"What happened.." one said as he peered down on the two kids and half dead man behind them
"Isn't it obvious" The other one stated as he placed steel chains on his finger, Megumi immediately trying to summon his shikigami only to be booted by one of them, Shiloh turning to the other one and using her technique to crush and contort the man's arms making him scream out in pain, the sound of megumis coughing catching her attention as she noticed the knife on the floor
The man had his back facing her, she couldn't use her technique all she had was a knife. "I can't kill somebody.." she muttered to herself
"Shiloh" Megumi croaked
"Grab the knife, fight!!" The dark haired boy coughed
"If you don't fight, you'll die." Megumis voice rang through her head as he flailed around trying to find a way out of the man's grasp
Upon hearing Megumis voice, the surge of power Shiloh thought she'd already obtained seemed to skyrocket, she knew exactly how to hold the dagger in her hand, where to strike and how much force it would take
With a deep breath, she plunged her foot into the thin wooden floors setting off and racing towards the higher up who barely managed to turn his head before she leaped up and stabbed him through the neck, taking out the dagger and watching as the blood rushed out his neck
"If you don't use cursed energy to kill a sorcerer, they'll come back as a vengeful spirit" Nanamis words echoed, Shiloh flipping the half dead man around and using her technique to rip off a chunk of the man's hair and forge a knife, stabbing him through the heart
Shilohs breathing was erratic, she hadn't yet fully comprehend what she'd done, but all her thoughts stopped as she looked at megumi who was trying to catch his breath
"Are you okay?? You're not hurt are you??" Shiloh questioned as she held onto the boy
"I'm fine, not sure about them though" Megumi stated
"How did you find me?" Shiloh asked
"One of the crows you have control over lead me here" Megumi sighed
☆═━┈┈━═☆
"I told you to leave it to us!! You could've died!!" Gojo said to megumi, the two kids having been wrapped in blankets
"If I hadn't shown up none of you would've gotten to her in time!" Megumi retorted
"I know but still megumi! You shouldn't act with such disregard to your life!!" Gojo huffed
"I just wanted to make sure Shiloh was safe" Megumi stated, Gojo letting out a deep sigh
"I know, good job"
"Shiloh, how are you feeling? You suffered quite a nasty hit" Gojo said with a soft smile
"I'm fine Gojo, but, where's nanami? I'm sure he's been worried" Shiloh stated
"He's on his way" Gojo hummed
"Could you ask him if he has any spare shoes? Mine slipped off" Shiloh said
Upon hearing this, megumi took out off one of his and stuck it out to her
"Here, this way one of your feet will be safe and we'll both share the same pain on the other" Megumi stated, Shiloh taking his shoes with a smile
"Once we get to mine, I'll give you the other pair" Megumi stated
"And what about you?" Shiloh asked
"I've got many pairs, and if they don't fit you just sell them" Megumi shrugged
"Shiloh!!!" Nanami yelled as he rushed over to the young girl who was talking to a few higher ups
"Kento!!" Shiloh screamed hugging the blonde
"What's gonna happen to me? Am I gonna merge with Tengen? Can I still see you if I do??" Shiloh asked
"You're not merging with anyone, I'll make sure of that." Nanami stated firmly
"But you're gonna need to get stronger shi, don't fall behind or else the higher ups will have no problem with assimilating you" Gojo stated, nanami noticing his cousins feet
"And why'd you have one shoe?"
