10. Short Forevers

"Now Itadori and L/n only have to come back."

"If it's about the brat, he's not coming back."

Before I knew it, we stood outside behind Megumi and he stiffened.

"And my bride is right here."

"Megumi, run away, please." I pressed out as he looked at me with horror.

"Don't be so frightened. I'm in a good mood right now. Ain't I, Y/n?"

"Let go of me." I hissed. "So I actually can punch you in the face!"

Sukuna laughed.
"Feel free to try again!"
He threw me from his shoulder over to Fushiguro and I landed on my ass next to him.

"L/n!"

"I'm fine. Don't worry..." I frowned at Sukuna, not letting him out of my eyes while standing up.
The longer I spend in his vicinity the less I'm scared of him.
I'm getting used to him and his pressure.

"Well then, let's have a little chat." Sukuna grinned.
"It seems to be payback for using me without any contract. He seems to have trouble swapping with me, because of that. But that should just be a matter of time."
He ripped off his top with a wicked grin.
"So I thought about what I could do in the meantime."

He suddenly plunged his hand into his chest. Blood dripping and he even spat some out until he slowly pulled out Yuuji's heart, still beating.

My eyes watered at the scene.

"I'm gonna take this brat hostage." Sukuna grinned with the beating heart in his bloody hand, more blood spilling from the hole in his chest and from his mouth.
"I can live without this but... that brat can't. Swapping with me would mean death."
He cackled and pulled something out.
"And this is to make double sure."

He showed off the finger he had retrieved from the cursed spirit earlier. With a big grin he swallowed the finger and sighed, as if he had waited ages to do that.

Well, considering he was sealed for a thousand years, he probably was waiting to do that for way too long.

"Well then. I'm a free man now. You can be afraid from now on." Sukuna grinned at Fushiguro with crazed eyes.
"I'll kill you. For no particular reason."

"I guess our roles have reversed, huh." Megumi looked solemnly at the possessed Yuuji and I frowned.

"I'm not letting you kill anyone with Yuuji's body." I growled at the curse.

"Don't be so impatient, Y/n. I'll play with you once I'm done with him."

"You didn't understand, bitch." I continued growling.
"I'm not letting you kill anyone, because I know that Yuuji will switch with you, even if he dies as a result."

"That's right, that's just the kind of guy he is." Megumi nodded his head, agreeing with me.

Although I somehow hoped Yuuji wasn't that type of guy.
Yuu-chan, I'll find a way for you to survive, just hang on a little longer!

"You two are thinking way too highly of him. He's just a dimwit who's a little stronger than most other humans." Sukuna rubbed away the blood on his mouth with a smirk.
"just a while ago he was so scared when on the verge of death. He was hyping himself up like a mess, you know? I'll tell you this... He doesn't have the guts to commit suicide."

"Of course he doesn't! Everyone is fucking scared of death! But I know him better than you do, Sukuna." I growled, tears brimming in my eyes.
"He may not have the guts to commit suicide, but he sure as hell would sacrifice his life in order to save others! So just you wait, you'll be eating your words later on!"
