Cursed womb

The sun, being the sun, shines through the gaps in the drape, shining into the room blinding all those who would wake in the next few minutes.

Minutes later, Fuji wakes up on the bed, a stark contrast compared to the couch he fell asleep on while watching some show that he can't remember the name of.

Slowly sitting up and rubbing his eyes he feels an arm fall from his chest, with almost no memory of the night prior, he shrugs it off before slowly lifting the arm off his chest and looking for a clock. 

He groans, "Dammit…I slept too long. It's already One." He sighs before sitting up and getting dressed, rather quickly then rushing out the door only.to.rush back in and grab some food, as well as write a small note saying thanks. He also left 500 Yen next to it, compensation for letting him crash here.

"And here." He says, turning the corner to the train station, almost running into a person, with a piece of bread in his mouth as he reaches in his pocket for his earbuds and puts on some music until the train arrives.

 

After a while of finding a seat to sit on this long ass train ride, the train stops and he gets off with a sigh, glad to breath fresh air and not the sweaty, musty air from the train. Someone needs to remind him to never take a train again.

"Ahh…Glad I can breathe again…" He sighs before looking down at his phone to pull up directions. "Lets see…I go that way, turn left there…alright. I should get there in time." He mutters to himself as he starts walking to the local Hunters Association in the city.

After twenty minutes or so of walking he finally arrives and walks inside, to look for his next source of income. Not too long while looking, he spots two bounties on people he recognized.

'So…they have bounties on their head…makes sense to be honest. Sukuna's Vessel and a Ten Shadows User.' He thinks to himself, catching the gossip around him, at first he's only to make out murmurs, until he's able to pick out a few voices from a small distance away.

"Hey, did you hear about that cursed womb over at the Eishuu Juvenile Detention Center?" Deeming this conversation important, as well as interesting he drowned out the noise of the other to focus in on their conversation.

"Yeah. I hear it's massive, the sorcerers are already there trying to draw a veil over the area, but I hear it's already been seen by many non-sorcerers." The other guy at the table says before taking a drink of a beer in his hand.

'Well. I think I know what I'm going to do next.' Fuji says as he grins and leaves the building.

With a small jog he senses an overwhelming presence and looks to the sky to actually see the cursed womb.

"Yoooo! So that's what it looks like!" He exclaims, having never actually seen a curse, or anything along the lines of Cursed Energy, this is a sight to behold, watching the floating piss colored egg in the sky, he notices an outline of some weird ass creature. "Shit must be pretty strong if even non-sorcerers can see it." He watches the egg for a bit before it fades from view. "Awe man. I was enjoying being able to actually see a curse, or whatever that was. Most likely a curse." He nods in affirmation to himself before sighing and looking to the ground, only to look back up while scratching the back of his neck. "Though, it does seem they finally got the Veil up. Must be time for me to make my way through." He says as he grabs onto the fence and hoists himself over before just continuing to walk straight. 

He hears a  "woooooo" as he walks through the Veil and looks to see Megumi, Itadori, and some chick he's never seen before. 

"Who the fuck are you?" He says pointing towards the girl, who looks very shocked to see him just appear.

"Who are you?!" 

"Me? Surely Megumi has talked about me." He says with a blank face, a little confused.

"Nope. Why would I?"

"Damn. What a way to hurt your big brother's feelings. Fuckin cruel man." He mumbled the last part to himself.

Critical hit, Itadori and Kugisaki are now muddled.

"WHHAAAAAATTT??!!!" The two yell at the same time, utterly confuzzled, possibly bamboozled, maybe even bewildered, or perhaps befuddled.

"Anyways. I'm Fuji Fushiguro. It's nice to meet you." He waves.

"I'm Kugisaki. Kugisaki Nobara." She waves back.

They wave. For an uncomfortable amount of time before Fuji decides to walk off and mess with Megumi.

"Sooooo…How's Tsumiki doing?" He asks, ruffling his little brother's hair.

"Same as before."

Fuji sighs, "Man. I hope she wakes up soon." He pats Megumi's head before giving him his space. "I don't know what you guys are doing here, but just let the older brother handle it for now." He says with a smile as he walks through the door entering the building. As he enters the building space starts warping around him. "The fu-" He is then ripped through the floor deep into the domain.

Following inside after Fuji, Megumi starts to look around before Yuji pats him on the shoulder.

"So that guys your brother? Huh, why didn't you tell us, Fushiguro?" Yuji questions while shaking him.

"I don't know him that well." Was going to be Megumi's reply before Nobara pitched in.

"Why does it feel as if he has no cursed energy, anywhere on him?" She asks while walking up next to the two.

"I don't know. So let's drop the topic, and focus on the task at hand." Megumi says, slightly annoyed.

"Right! We need to save any survivors and then get out of here as fast as possible!" Yuji says as they walk down the stairs.

Nobara stops, "Wait. Isn't this supposed to be a two story building?" Nobara asks as she stares up at the ceiling. Looking up as well, Yuji and Megumi gasp as the once two story building is now a massive building with seemingly no roof and just continues upward forever. 

"Wait, the door!" Megumi yells as they turn around and run back in the direction they came from.

"Hey it's gone…that's impossible." Yuji says with surprise.

"No way, we just came through that door a second ago, didn't we?" 

"What do we do? What do we do?" Yuji and Nobara walk in circles with each other and chant.

Megumi sighs. "Don't worry. It'll be fine, the dog remembers the scent of the entrance-" Megumi deadpans as Nobara and Yuji start petting the dog.

"Good boy~ Good dog~" They say while playing with the dog, there voices imitating that of a baby.

"You rock Fushiguro! Thanks to these dogs, we can rescue some people and we can save ourselves!" Yuji says, still petting the dog.

"Let's keep moving." Megumi replies before beginning to walk again.

Fuji pov

Pulling himself out of the floor he looks around and sees himself in an open area made of concrete, he walks around in curiosity only to be sent flying into a wall. 

"So…there is a cursed spirit here…" He says to himself before pushing out of the wall, he spits out his cursed inventory before reaching up and pulling out the Soul Splitter Katana, getting ready to fight he tenses as he's suddenly hit in the back and is sent flying towards the opposite wall, quickly realizing the situation he's in, he quickly twists his body in air and lands on the wall safely. 'I am very much out classed right now.' is all Fuji could think as he gets his head smashed into the ground as his leg gets grabbed, being flung into the air, the curse starts to slam him on the floor before throwing him into a wall again. 

Letting out a painful groan, Fuji sits up, blood covering his eyes, as well as having his arm mangled. 'Alright…I need to assess damages…' he thinks as he uses his good arm to feel around his body. 'Left arm is damaged badly, I have…roughly five broken ribs and a couple more bruises, as well as a fractured ankle.' He thinks as he stands l, using the wall as a crutch before limping forward a bit. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, focusing all of his senses on trying to find the curse when…
