Chapter Text
Megumi sent Mirai.
Mirai wasn't even conscious.
Who knows how long she had been left like this..
Hit in the head.
Bleeding..
Inside Yuji—
Sukuna was standing there.
His fingers twitched.
He didn't mean this,
He hated this,
He didn't know why—
Seeing Mirai in this condition.. was making him angry .
He is the King.
The King of Curses.
He doesn't feel things like these.
He..
"Tch. "
On the roof,
The battle was between Yuji and the curse.
"It's all clear. Everyone escaped. " Nobara notified.
Megumi nodded.
This was a signal.
That Yuji can full-fledged battle and end this curse.
"Alright! HAAAH!"
POOW
Yuji threw a powerful punch.
Mirai..
She was crazy..
She went on a date with Sukuna..
But—
She never hurt anyone!
He threw more fists and kicks.
His eyes raged.
It's not just about Mirai.
It's about everyone..
The victims this curse made!
POOW
He threw his final blow.
BAAM
And so.. the story of this curse, ends here.
Two days later, hospital, Tokyo.
Mirai was in the hospital, yet unconscious.
Luckily, the injury wasn't deep.
But since she was bleeding and left untreated for 20 hours, this was an emergency.
A bandage was there rolled around her head.
Yuji, Megumi and Nobara had come to meet her.
"She's still unconscious?" Nobara asked as they three entered.
"Yes, the doctor says she will wake up anytime soon. "
The nurse said as she left.
Door closed.
And all three were left alone with the patient.
Silent..
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Nobara reached Mirai's bed. Touching the railing of the bed.
"Um.. atleast she's safe. " Nobara said. Watching Mirai.
She was glad.
She doesn't show it, but she doesn't want anyone hurt, not friends at the least.
Yuji came and sat on the chair next to Mirai.
He had a lot of questions.
His expressions unreadable yet his eyes fixed on Mirai.
Megumi stood at the distance as he watched.
The room stayed silent.
"We should go now. " Megumi finally said.
Megumi turned, starting to leave.
The others were ready to walk too.
Just then,
Mirai's fingers twitched.
" ! " Nobara saw it.
They all looked behind, at Mirai.
Mirai's eyes snapped.
Wide open.
"AAAAAH" She screamed and sat up.
Panicking.
Her eyes squeezed shut from the horror.
The last she remembered
that moment..
In the building,
The feeling.. of some hand covering her mouth.
The feeling of being pulled.
She breathed heavily.
Throwing fists.
All three blinked at her.
"Wow, girl it's okay, you are safe- "
SWISH
Nobara tried to calm Mirai but she threw her fists in defence.
Nobara backed off a little.
She was still feeling that nightmare, that building.
"Mirai, you're okay! " Yuji spoke,
his voice was frustrated.
This girl.. is she real?
She is scared?
She wasn't scared of Sukuna.
Now she is scared of some low grade curse spirit?
Nobara snapped,
She caught Mirai's one hand,
"Open your eyes, idiot! "
Slowly
Mirai opened her eyes.
She calmed down,
looking around..
It's.. not that building.
She looked at Nobara.
Then Megumi.
And then.. Yuji.
"This is a hospital. " Megumi said.
"Hos..pital?" She was now calm.
Yet, in confusion..
Wasn't she.. in the building in her neighborhood?
