a/n: do you want all four parts in this book or split into two??

Kanada Taichi, Shimada Osamu, and Yamato Hiroshi were three men falling victim to similar death-related circumstances. According to Nitta, they were stabbed to death by a cursed spirit at the entrances to their apartments. All of them had filed the same complaint with the property managers, several weeks before dying.

They claimed their auto-locking doors were left wide open. None of the other residents have any idea what could have happened.

"None of the dates of locations match, though." Fushiguro pointed out, sitting at the middle back with Yuji and Nobara on either side and Y/N sitting at the passenger seat all looking down at the tablet in his hands. "Could that the same cursed spirit have killed them all?"

"Hey, could the cursed spirit be responsible for the doors?" Yuji theorised. "Do sensors like those pick up cursed spirits, they don't show up on cameras and stuff right."

"Mostly not," Y/N answered. "If trained Jujustu Sorcerers couldn't sense the presence of Amai other than me, why would a simple sensor?" She shrugged.

"Apparently, the cursed spirit made the door operators go crazy, not the sensors," Nitta explained, driving under a tunnel.

"Oh.." what was Yuji had to say. "Operators?"

Nitta proceeded, "as for whether or not the same cursed spirit was behind this... well, we couldn't be certain just the residuals."

After all, a lot of time had already passed, so they tried to track down any connection between the three. Successfully, they found all three victims attended the same middle school for two years.

"Meaning all three received the same curse." Nobara rubbed the edge of her chin. "And if activated after time had passed?"

The blonde-haired assistant confirmed. "Precisely. That's highly likely."

"I'm assuming we're heading to that same school now." Y/N leaned back on her cushion chair, Nitta nodded only to make Y/N think back to the other school she fought Mahito, and already feeling the watery sensation flooding her mouth ever so slightly.

"Shit.." she swore under her breath.

The sorcerers took a stop at the home of the victim, immediate chills rushed down their spines at the sight of a funeral taking place. It wasn't the fact of someone being dead that scared Y/N, it was the drowning thought of their familiar suffering and mourning his death. Ironically is the reason why the Belladonnas were called Belladonnas.

"Is this the home of the acquaintance?" Nobara asked.

Nitta replied before the four got back into the car. "Yes, it is. Well, this sucks, he died the same way the other three did."

He lived with his family, so there was no auto-locking door, but he was killed in front of the entrance. Previously, upon returning home alone, he reported, 'the door was unlocked but it wouldn't open.'

Nitta had interviewed his parents, unfortunately, they said they didn't know what relationship he had with the other three. The group of four arrived at the middle school, Y/N noticed Megumi seemed to admire a little, possibly he went to this school before Jujustu Tech.

"There goes our only lead.." Nobara sulked as she placed her hands on the back of her head.

"Don't worry," Y/N reassured, rubbing the ends of her shirt/colour sleeves between her pointing finger. "There has to be something at this middle school."

"You okay?" A little whisper to her right ear from Yuji caught her attention. He signalled his eyes at her cuffs and tapped his nose twice hinting at the sweet scent coming from his girlfriend.

Yuji smelling about the Amai scent felt like a good thing, because only people Y/N has an affection for could smell it. In other words, their love was real. The downside was Y/N didn't want to put Yuji in harm at all as well as she can attracted other people to scent.

"Yeah, don't worry nothing serious." Y/N said truthfully. The watery sensation was painless and nothing more than a warning sign to the organ-crushing agony she'll experience if she doesn't feed.

"For now, I've secured an appointment with a teacher, so I'm counting on you." Nitta confessed with her head down a little.

"Yo, N/N." Nobara tapped Y/N's shoulders. The h/c haired girl was greeted with a devilish grin from her friend who pointed at two men smoking cigarettes at a nearby wall. "You take white shirt and I'll take navy?"

"Lead the way, K."

The girls skipped on ahead a strutted down to the two boys smoking under the shade.

"These are some obvious punks." Nobara pointed out, she swung around a stone pillar then faced Y/N who leaned the one next to it. "Let's beat 'em and set 'em straight!"

"Such a violent method." Y/N stated, receiving a confused glance from the brown haired girl. Y/N smiled innocently. "I didn't say no."

The blondie and black haired students jumped and straightened themselves up. "I-It's good to see you!" They urgently bowed in honour of somebody.

"Heh, look at that. You actually get it." Nobara sassily stated, whipping her hair then twirling it between her fingers.

Itadori joined in, running his fingers through his soft pink locs. "An aura just pours out even if you try to hide it."

Y/N too was taken back until she realised that a certain Fushiguro was rather quiet and even averting his head away from the situation. With her powers effortlessly kicking in, Y/N found out something she never expect from the likes of Megumi Fushiguro.

"We haven't seen you since graduation, Fushiguro!"

"You were a bully?" Y/N stepped towards Fushiguro, who turned his head completely away from her. She asked rather rudely. "With that hairstyle?"

He admitted. "Not.. really but yeah... I went here... for middle school, what's wrong with my hair!?"

"That's surprise, too, but not that's not the point!" Kugisaki pinched Megumi's cheeks. "Look at me!"

"What did you do?" Yuji joined in the interrogation. "What did you do in middle school, no it would be quicker to ask them!"

"Hey Idiot A and B, what else did this guy do to you?" Nobara, still pinching Fushiguro's cheeks, glared back at the two boys who were bowing down.

In unison, they raised their head and black haired one spoke, "We... or rather every delinquent, gang member, and so on in this area, got beaten up by Fushiguro."

"With them arms?" Y/N dramatically exclaimed pinching the long sleeve of Megumi's jacket; lifting it up to examine his rather slim arms underneath.

Megumi argued. "What's wrong with my arms?"

"They like noodles." They like noodles.. Amai and Y/N responded, making herself Itadori and Kugisaki laugh then quickly looking at their black-haired friend with new eyes.

Megumi looked away once more and stated stiffly, "I beat them up."

"Look at me!" Nobara ordered.

Itadori commanded an answer. "What are you doing!"

"Hey!" The four sorcerers stopped their bickering and pinching. The group looked down the pavement and saw an old grey haired man, wearing a cyan janitor outfit rushing over.

"Who are you? Students from other schools aren't allowed in here!" He claimed loudly

"And who the hell are you!?" Nobara even louder demanded, pointing her finger right at the janitor.

Y/N quickly calmed the situation. "Chill at it, K. Don't need to act up on everybody."

That was when a sharp snapped at the girl's stomach, being almost numb to the pain, Y/N simply hissed softly. It didn't astonish her at pain tolerance, what did was how fast she numb to the pain. Course she never was a fan for the organ twisting pain however other than the watery feeling she gets.

That agony was her last warning.
