AN sorry about how spoty these updates are I hope you guys are doing good and that you can bear with me as I do this writing thing. But the real reason for this AN is that there will be some slight backstory changes. And as for what the changes are pretty much yuji didn't always live with gojo and imma leave it there :). Also while rereading the story I saw holes and other grammar stuff that I went through and patched up, so I'd encourage another read through (and what you think please). Also, would like to give a shout out to r6.fizzz you for real gave me the motivation to continue this story and to improve my writing so thanks bro for real. But without further ado let's get into it.

flashback 3 year ago, in the woods on the outskirts of Tokyo

"Die... Die... Die, Die, Die!!!"

In the darkness of night surrounded by trees for miles in any direction, the moon illuminates a lone figure, casting menacing shadows onto the nearby rough bark of a tree. The sound of fist meeting slimy goop, are like the warning shots of a battleship; sent out to tell anyone to stay away, a rabid beast is here.

However another man approaches without fear. From a distance the sound of fists on the dead corpse of a curse can almost be chalked up to one of nature's strange occurrences. But the sound of someone shouting is unmistakable.

"I finally found the kid"

Present

The finger, the finger, shit, what am I supposed to do? Yuji looks down as his hands where iguchi and setsaki were stuck to, then further shielded by his arms wrapped around their body's. I can't just leave them. However if I don't stop that damn curse and he eats one of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers there is no telling what could happen.

Yuji then leaps back down the hallway, clearing the 15 some odd yards. After landing yuji sees the inky wall in the same spot with the finger, drawing ever closer to the center of its chest and where yuji figures it's main mouth is. he then sends out a kick in an diagonal line. "Hope this works" Yuji says in his head, while channeling his cursed technique. And after a second yuji saw the curse's tendril start wrapping around the finger, holding on tighter. "That won't do" yuji thought, and with some more cursed energy he watched as the finger which was by now being raised up by the tendril and about to be dropped into its mouth on its stomach, was suddenly ripped out of the curses grasp and started hurtling towards him.

"Fast-oh shit..." and just as yuji tried to let out a string of curses (pun fully intended), he had Sukuna's finger jammed down his throat.

Iguchi POV

5 minutes earlier

"ugh, what happened?" Last thing I remember, setsaki was unwrapping that-thing? Did she ever get it unwrapped? Where am I? Why does my body feel limp? What the fuck? what's dripping down my face? Stupid eyes open. "Whoa, we're moving now" why can't I hear anything, this silence... why are my ears ringing. Come on eyes open! What was that? Did something just hit the ground, the vibrations I can feel them? Wait... is it true that when someone loses one of their senses... the others are enhanced! Setsaki just wait tell she... wait, setsaki? "Not again" this time when iguchi felt his body move again, he finally found the strength to open his eyes.

Yuji POV

"Fast... oh shit...", "I didn't think the attraction level was so high" yuji thinks as the back of his throat was brutally attacked by, thankfully, the non fingernail part of Sukuna's finger. His head being forced backwards do to the force of impact. "Damn if I didn't reinforce my body with cursed energy that could have been bad". However just when he was about to spit the damn finger out of his mouth he heard a loud male voice scream. "Yuji what the hell is that thing!" and it was enough of a distraction for yuji to lose focus and swallow.

Megumi POV same time

"Ten shadows technique: summoning trial: summon snake!"

with the words spoken megumi felt another chunk of his cursed energy be drained. His shadow starting to writhe and coil before condensing and bulging outwards. The massive head of a snake the size of the hall speared out and started to fill the remaining floor room. Megumi, exhausted collapsed towards the hard ground. one of Nue's, person length wing caught and stabilized him stopping any further injury. Megumi paused for a second, his eyes becoming like little heavy weighted plates; with every blink it was like taking ahold of his vision and forcing it to work.

Suddenly he saw the snake stop moving. He couldn't make out much about this shikigami, its long body being mostly covered in shadows. He could see just the last bit of the white tail flicking around before the darkness overtook it. Megumi smiled, the snake had stopped moving! This was perfect! "Nue!" Megumi shouted. Nue charged up a shock. Prepared to send a bolt of electricity right at the snake. When suddenly the tail started-getting smaller? Before it could fully vanish out of sight Nue sent out his attack, the lighting creating beautiful arcs of purple light. Lighting up the corridor, and the lockers, before running into classrooms.

However there was a problem. The snake was gone. "What?" Was the only thing he could think of, before he remembered something he read, and his eyes darted downwards where he saw a miniature white python, scales running all across and down its body. "Shit" megumi then quickly moved his head to the right, narrowly avoiding the lunging snake. However megumi already forgot what the snake's ability was, as right as the head was moving past his ear it expanded out and sent megumi crashing into an unprepared Nue.

The two spiraling crashed into the far wall, all the way on the right part of the building. Megumi coughed before spitting some blood out of his mouth. "You okay back there buddy" megumi said while he started standing up. He heard the loud grown of metal as he felt the air being displaced by Nue's wings flapping some lone feathers scrapping against the now crushed lockers. "You got it boss" and the impression of murder was all he got back.

but before they could start the fight megumi heard a sound that chilled him to his bones. Evil, menacing, gut wrenching laughter. The kind you might hear going into a mental institution. "Oh god"
