'King of Curses'

- 6

She stood in the shower, allowing the warm water cascade her cheeks.

Gosh. I almost died back there. I collapsed...I didn't have any strength left to finish her.

"Shit..." She lowers her head, watching the water swirl down the metal part of the drain.

I even had that Sukuna curse come to my rescue... hehe, would you even call it a rescue, if he's the one doing it? Still; however, what did he mean by reincarnation? And Seiichis' 2 tails?

"Damn it—" (y/n) lightly places her forehead to the tiled wall, cooling her thoughts.

I guess I've been in here too long. The heats beginning to hurt my head. Itadori went home I think, and the doctor said I would need to stay the night.

She turns the shower nozzle off, allowing the last few drops hit her hair. She grabs the towel, patting herself dry before wrapping it around her body. She steps out of the humid bathroom and begins to get changed.

She managed to put her underwear and bra on before hand grabs her right wrist pinning her stomach first to the wall beside the large window.

"H-hey!" She yells, trying to look back.

The hand restrains her right arm above her head, and the other holding her left behind her back.

"What are you—Who are you! Let me go-" Her eyes widen as she glances down at the arm that held her left wrist in an arm lock.

Those black lines. T-tattoos!

"Sukuna!!" She yells as she feels his body press against her own.

"It's been a while." He comes closer and whispers in (y/n)s ear. Causing her body to rise with heat.

He places his leg between hers, lifting it an inch and gliding his lips down her neck.

"Nng!" Trying to hold back her voice. She clenches her teeth, and tries pulling away from him.

"Refusing like that, only excites me more." He brings her wrist down and locks it with the other one behind her back. He forces her body against his and grabs her cheeks, forcing (y/n) to look at him.

He stares directly at her (e/c) eyes, as they reflected the sun that shined brightly before it began to set.

Why is he looking at me like that? More importantly why the hell is he in control!

"Sukuna, let me go!" There was no emotion on his face. He searched so deeply into her eyes, almost as if he was actually trying to look for something that was lost in them.

"As I thought..." He says, releasing her from his grip. (Y/n) ran away from him as he watched.

She tried to keep the furthest distance from him, but he only kept the space between them a certain length.
He tucks his hands into his pockets and heaves a sigh.

"What's your name?" He questioned, keeping his gaze on her, levelled. He wasn't smiling, nor did he look angry.

(Y/n)s mouth opened and closed like a small fish in a tank that's too big for her. She was afraid to answer him because the special grade curse asked the same thing.

"When I ask you a question, I expect you to answer in 3 seconds" He takes a seat in the arm chair that was beside the bed Seiichi was on and continued to watch her as she grabbed a blanket, covering her body.

If I run, he'll just catch up to me. If I disobey him, he might kill me. Maybe just going along with it is the best option.

"It's (Y/n) (L/n)..." She stays close to the door as a comfort. Knowing if someone where to walk in, either it be Megumi or Gojo, she'll at least have enough time to run to them.

"Well...(y/n). I have a few questions for you." He leans back into the chair and crosses his legs.

"Que-Questions. Like what?" She says, staggering her words.

He smiles at her sweet voice, before looking out the large window.

"How did you meet that fox? When did he come to you?" He leans his head on an arm, keeping his smug look on her.

How I met Seiichi? He wants to know that?

"Don't tell me you forgot?" A small smirk raises in his lips, as he waited for her answer.

"I-... He came to me when I was young. So my memory isn't clear of that day." (Y/n) relaxes her shoulders when she senses no threat from him.

"Do you remember if he approached you as a fox or human?" His smile was gone again, and it looked like he was getting irritated.

"As a fox..." She replies.

He sits up from the chair and slowly walks over to her. She steps back into the closed door and stands her ground. Once he was only a few centimetres away from her body. He places an arm beside her head and on the door.

"How many tails did he have back then?" He whispers down at her body.

Her eyes widen at his question. She new if she answered the question, it would expose Seiichis age and strength.

He doesn't plan on killing Seiichi does he? But why?

"3 seconds remember..." He smirks at her frail face. He knew she was afraid to answer the question, but he was determined to know.

"9..." She finally whispers.

His smile turned into one of a demons smile: psychotic, victorious and of pure joy. He knew now why he couldn't find her before... she was hidden from him.

That smile...it's terrifying.

She holds her breath, witnessing the demonic face expressions flicker past his face.

"9 you say...hmhm-Hahah!" He takes his hand away from the door and holds his face, trying to control the unholy laughter escaping it.

"Say (y/n)...hmhmhah." He gleefully looks through his fingers at (y/n) who was on the verge of tears.

"What happened to the other 7?"  He controls his random burst of laughter and tilts his chin up with a smile.

"I- I don't know... he never told me." She slowly grabs the handle of the door and quickly opens it, but the second it was an inch open, Sukuna slams it closed.

"You're telling me, you never asked him?" He rages, inches from her face.

(Y/n) stiffens her body, while Sukunas presence became more chaotic. She could feel the cursed energy in him rise dramatically.

"H-he never answered!" She quickly says back to him.

His face softens and lets out a long sigh. He groans from the answer and steps back. He walks back to the chair and slumps his body weight down into it.

"Interesting..." He gives (Y/n) one last look before allowing Itadori to take control again.

"Oh my god!! (Y/n)! I'm really sorry! I don't know what happened, he just took over! I had no control at all!" Itadori runs over to (y/n) who had collapsed to the round.

She starts breathing heavily as all the fear she felt within that short period starts to vanish.

"Are you okey? Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you?" He crouches down with her and pears into her eyes. They were shaking from utter fear. He couldn't believe she was so scared of him.

She didn't show this kind of fear to the other curse. It looks like she witnessed her own death and lived.

"...what on earth happened?" Itadori says, as he looked around the room, for any sign of a fight that might have happened.

(Y/n) wanted to understand too. She had no idea why she felt so afraid. It felt like ptsd, but from what? She's never met anyone stronger then Sukuna, nor has she ever met Sukuna.

Right...
