"NOBARA!" Ever since then... December 31st... I haven't been the same.
♡ When he touched me, trying to reshape my soul, it burned hotter than the seven hells. Mahito jumping back from me immediately, but he started laughing like a psychopath afterwards. This was fun to him. I hated him. He was the one who caused so much death and despair. And now he has murdered one of our friends right in front of Yuji and I... "What a fiery soul. You are well aware of yourself, a pity you struggle to land any meaningful blows." Mahito danced around Yuji and I. Yuji was shut down, his jaw ticking as his darn eyes were on Nobara's corpse before us on the ground of the train station. "I'm sure that with enough attacks, I can resist your heat and transform your soul too!" Mahito made me sick with his smile and his eyes that seemed to spin. How could anything so violent just exist in this world? Yuji took my right arm, and I glance over at him confused. "Go." He spoke low. I couldn't just leave him here alone? With Gojo in a fight only the gods know where...and Nanami...where is he? "Find Nanami and get to Gojo Sensei." "I'm not just going to leave you-!" "You aren't ready to face this yet Chiyo. Go!" He pushed me behind him as Mahito came forward to attack again. I stumbled behind him, watching.
If Megumi were here...he would tell me to run and leave him too. If Nobara knew just the level of power Mahito had and we were alone, she would also tell me to run. I still was not powerful enough to hold my own... And my cursed technique works on him but I am just not able to melt his soul before his flesh's reformed once I burn it- "Go Chiyo! I won't tell you again!" Yuji has never spoken to me like that- Mahito is trying to target me- I roll out of the way of one of his arms. If he traps me in his domain I would be done for. But if I stay near Yuji and he tries his domain expansion, he would touch Sukuna's would as-well and kill him for sure. Though, Yuji seems to have no intention of switching with Sukuna. Or Sukuna has no intent on switching with Yuji... Either way, this was clearly a personal fight to Yuji. "I can't bring myself to leave you!" All I really could do was cry. Realizing I was still a liability in fights that actually mattered. "Do you want me to give you a reason?!" He glared back at me and fear hit me like a bull. I have never seen so much rage and hate in his eyes. Yuji was usually happy go lucky like me... This was HIS fight. I had no place here. Just getting in the way. I turned and started to run... And somehow I got out without being caught.

Where is Maki? Or Panda? Or Inumaki? Were they dead as well? Maki will get so upset hearing about Nobara... "Chiyo! Where is Yuji and-" Nanami... I start crying, hugging him around his waist, he hugged me back. "Tell me." "Nobara...so was murdered...Mahito.." "Where is Itadori Yuji?" "With Mahito down in the station. He told me to run so I did..." "Get back to the school okay? I will go down with Yuji." Something in me wanted to tell him not to go. Something in me said he was not going to make it and he would be yet another sorcerer on the death toll tomorrow... "Nanami Sensei...don't." "Go Chiyo. I will bring Yuji back with me okay? Have more faith in me." That smile had defeat written all over it. Nanami had faced Mahito twice before today and admitted both times how incompatible his technique is against Mahito... So why just throw your life away? "The life of a sorcerer Chiyo." As if he could hear my question...he answered and removed his arms from around me, moving past me towards the train station. His body a blue from my tears. I am pathetic. If Yuji didn't tell me to abandon him I would surely be dead. Is he doing this for Megumi too..? Megumi comes back tomorrow.
I look down at my broken phone and wonder if he tried calling. Maybe he tried a dozen times. Maybe none at all. I wonder if he is worried. I wonder if he knows what is happening here right now. I stumble my way towards a different train station, where there were humans. Everyone looked at me worried as I staggered past them, my mind replaying Nobara's smile as she wobbled towards Yuji and I...her eye just exploding...her body falling limp before us...that blind rage radiating off of Yuji. So this was the life of a jujutsu sorcerer? If the rest of us survive this, surely we will come out stronger. My place amongst the survivors will be false. I'm just the one that runs away. "Tokyo...I am going to Tokyo." I say to the ticket master, he hands me my train ticket and I board. I slump down in a seat in the back and cover my eyes with my arms. Why did I choose this path? I am not made for this. All of this death...I just wanted to protect the people I care about and the people who can't fight for themselves. But I can't even fight for myself... -
