'Can you go help out the others at the prison center? Thank you! XOXO - Satoru'

Your eye twitched. Why were you just informed of a Curse Womb now? And why were the first years dispatched and not YOU?

You let out a frusterated sigh as you were driven to the area. They don't trust you. Satoru does. I wonder what made you think that. Would Asuka like him? Why does that matter? No reason. You could see the building come into view. I can sense it. Special Grade.

"You can stop the car here," you said to the driver.

"Hm? Are you sure?" He asked.

"Positive."
As soon as the car stopped, you disappeared from the backseat. Your surroundings whizzed by in a physical embodiment of light headedness. When you came around, you were in a dark chamber under the prison.

"Heh... It's been a while, Kuragari Kanzaki."
When you opened your eyes, Itadori was Sukuna. The Special Grade curse was too busy quaking in his presence.

Immediately, you scowled.

"I'm not Kuragari, and what the hell is happening here." From what I can tell, Nobara and Megumi are outside the building. Itadori probably waited to switch with Sukuna until they were safe.

"No, you may not be... but you're her vessel, aren't you?" He grinned at you, both sets of his eyes widening in excitement. In her domain, Kuragari was going crazy. It took all of your willpower to remain calm externally.

"Obsessed, aren't you?" You asked, placing your hands in your pockets. "Like a past fling."

"We certainly have our history," Sukuna replied. The Special Grade curse shifted, facing his hands towards each other. At the slighest spike of cursed energy, you spiked your own. The increase made the curse fly away and throught the stone, and concrete wall.

"Interesting," Sukuna softly muttered. He turned his head to look back at you, a wide grin coming up to his face. "Are you going to exorcise it?"

"Are you?" You asked, blinking through a bone-shattering pain in your skull. Will you cut it out?! Let me out--let me out riGHT FUCKING NOW!! NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE I AINT. You sighed, seeing the curse stumble back through the hole in the wall. Holding up your hand, you flicked your finger up. The curse let out a gargle of confusion before all four of its limbs were sliced into small slivers. After that happened, you snapped your fingers. The curse's body exploded into dissipating cursed energy. There was a light plop, and one of Sukuna's fingers fell to the floor.

He leisurely walked over to it and picked it up. "So tell me, Kuragari."

"My name isn't Kuragari."
Sukuna turned his head to look back at you, a smirk on his face.

"When's our rematch?"
Your eyes narrowed.

"Rematch?" You repeated.

"Of course! Remember back centuries ago--you and I were neck and neck?"

"Kuragari is stronger than you--you died as a result," you replied, "She's got about 2,000 years of experience on you."

"Man, always gotta bring up the past." Sukuna scratched his head.

"YOU??? BROUGHT IT UP FIRST???" You let out a sigh, rubbing your temple. The headache--and hearing Kuragari yell and rage like a toddler—was getting on your nerves.

"Come on..." Sukuna said, cocking his head to the side. "It could be fun." You opened your eyes at stared at him through your lashes. Man... the only one I'd be able to control fully is Kuragari. If I pulled her back and he kept going, I'd have to take over, and risk more damage. Heaving one last heavy sigh, you dropped your hand.

"What about Itadori?" You asked, narrowing your eyes. "What if he switches?"

"I feel he's having a hard time with that," Sukuna replied, grabbing onto the jacket and shirt, proceeding to rip it off. "So, I thought about what I can do right now." He held his hand up, nearer his chest. Don't tell me... With zero hesitation, he plunged his hand into his chest, a large pool of blood splattering onto the floor beneath him. He ripped his hand back out--taking out his heart along with it.

"I'm taking this brat hostage," he said, holding out the still-beating heart. "I can live without this, but that aint true for the brat." He tossed the heart to the side. Your eyes followed it until it landed on the floor with a splat. Eyes wide and shaky, you panned them back over to look at Sukuna.

"Cunning, aren't you?" You asked. He just grinned at you.

"And, for good messure..." He brought up the finger to his mouth before eating it. You sighed quietly, shifting your weight between feet.

"Fine..." You conceded, "Kuragari. Come on out." She appeared in front of you in the blink of an eye, her signature grin on her face. Sukuna wasn't that far behind her.

"It's been so long, dear friend," she said. Immediately, you felt her cursed energy increase. Shit... I don't know if anyone's around--Itadori could die.

"Same goes to you, Kuragari!"
You turned and ran out of the chamber before they could blow it all to pieces. You teleported yourself outside the prison and ran out to the edge of the property. Outside of the gates were Megumi.

"Yooo!" You called, jumping over it to grab his arm. "We gotta go--"

"Why? What happened?" He asked.

"Uh..." After explaining everything that happened, Megumi proceeded to bombard you with questions.

"And you left him? You let Kuragari run free? What will happen if Itadori comes back? She'll kill him!"

"I had no choice, she's not 'free', he'll die, and she won't."

"Why wouldn't she? Kuragari isn't any better than Sukuna!"

"Because--just trust me," you said with a sigh, "She can't do--" There was an explosion, sending a strong shockwave towards you two. You grabbed onto Megumi and anchored him down, your hair whipping in your face. You could hear Megumi grunting to stay on his feet from next to you. A strong eruption of cursed energy rocketed through the air.

"Well shit," you said to yourself. You could see two figures jump into the air, airwave after airwave sweeping through. "Let's get some space between us." You pulled Megumi along with you and he followed you. You crossed your two pointers together to form an 'x' with them.

"Emerge from the darkness, blacker than darkness. Purify that which is impure." A black veil appeared above the area--slowly encasing the entire area.

"A veil? What's that gonna stop?" Megumi asked, watching it.

"Hopefully them from destroying the world."

"You haven't lost your touch since one thousand years ago!" Sukuna exclaimed, the pure burst of energy from him destroying a building behind them.

"As if I'd lose to some human like you!" Kuragari laughed, eyes glowing in glee.

You let out a sigh as you watched them whizz in and out of your vision--yet you never lost their energy signature. Man... she's so troublesome.

Ja ne!
