Final Vow (Sukuna JJK)

Old Friend

It's been three months since my first time with Sukuna and things had strangely gotten better. He still isn't talkative but he does answer more questions.  I now know that he likes the smell of African Orchids, hates squid and green peppers, and has a soft spots for cats. 

"What the Hell are you doing?" Sukuna asked while I patched up a the leg of a dog. Judging by the injury it was clear the dog fell from a large height, the why was unclear. This dog was too calm to be wild, yet too far from the village to be owned, since I started patching him up I haven't heard any signs of a hunter missing their dog.  

"What does it look like?" I smirk at him from over my shoulder. "Get that filthy thing out of here" He sneered in disgust. "Not a Dog Guy" I stated, over the months I had learned how intolerant Sukuna was of strangers. "Why would anyone like those disgusting loud creatures." He hissed, and rolled his eyes and the dog growled at the mean curse.

I finished patching up the poor pup and was rewarded with a few licks as I sent him on his way. Not long after a small black cat jumped down from a nearby tree. Unlike the dog this cat didn't seem injured at all. "Hello cutie" I wiggled my fingers to get the kitty's attention, she came reluctantly. "So pretty come on lets get you something to eat. I picked the kitty up and took him inside only to run into Sukuna on the way, literally. Luckily the Cat didn't freak out at the sudden bump. I was surprised to see that Sukuna didn't throw a hateful comment towards the Kitty. Instead he patted her head and continued outside.

 I smiled at the memory, it was nice to see a side of Sukuna that wasn't malicious. I kept my smile as I made my way to the temple. I had been visiting the temple more often, since it helped break down a barrier in my marriage. It was a little after dawn and as usual no one was at the temple, so I hadn't felt the need to hide. I say my thanks and take out my offering, I didn't have much to give but I took the time to carve a beautiful flower into a candle. 

My peaceful morning was ruined by the unmistakable presence of insanely strong cursed energy. Energy matching my own "Long way from home aren't you little witch" I heard a mocking whisper in my ear and turned to confirm my suspicion. "I could say the same about you Sorcerer" I gazed at the smug Sorcerer. 

Nawa Gojo, the most annoying Sorcerer I had ever met. I could never understand how someone so beautiful could be a pain in the ass. He had long white hair reaching his tailbone, piercing blue eyes highlighted by his snowy lashes and a smile that made you want to punch him. "What brings you to my land?" He asked pleasantly enough but I could hear the suspicion  underneath it. While it wasn't completely strange for a Witch or Sorcerer to visit each others territory, it was mainly during emergency and you always notify the other.  "Me and my tribe parted ways" I didn't wish to give him more than that. "What brings the illustrious Nawa to this humble village?" I crossed my arms and eyed him. 

"You know how it goes some locals have been complaining about something scary taking at the Temple, so I was sent to check it out" He shrugged, but I wasn't buying it Sukuna had been terrorizing villages around here for months but now they suddenly feel the need to come check out a temple. "Is that so?" I went along with his plan. "Oh it is, honestly didn't think I'd find a Witch around here. So what's going on scaring a few farmers" He chuckled. I was going to deny it when a loud Squeal took our attention. 

Just before we knew it a Enormous Pig Curse came crashing through the woods in the direction of the Temple. I was about to defend myself when Nawa stepped in front of me with a smug smile. "I've got this" He branded a long Naginata and cuts the curse in half. "Thank you" I sighed, knowing I could have handled it myself. "Don't mention, although I will require a favor little witch" he looked me up and down. "How surprising" I replied. If there was one thing I knew about Sorcerers is that nothing was free. "In due time" He placed my chin between index and forefinger. 

I hated this man, I always knew there was something off about him, but in an effort to keep the peace between our lands I held my tongue. Not anymore, I smacked his hand away in disgust, "To be clear I didn't need you help and I owe you absolutely nothing" I walked away, wishing more than anything that the memory be lost with it, but like most trauma it came crashing back.

It was just supposed to be a simple mission, one born out of necessity rather than respect. A small village named Narmiri , a place that sat a perfect distance in between our two lands,  was being invaded by a terrible curse. We were all instructed to split into the best suited pair, seeing that my sight was on par with Nawa's skills we were selected to search together.

"You know you are rather pretty for a Witch?" I cringed every time he called me that, while the description wasn't wrong his contempt for my people was as clear as his unwanted attraction to me. "Can we search in silence?" I asked still being diplomatic "Can't take a compliment." He scoffed, as if I was in the wrong. We continued through the forrest  were the curse was last sighted , and I prayed it would show up before Nawa gave me another compliment. 

HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. a loud sound broke through the silence and we raced to fight the curse. Once we got there we witnessed a three headed elephant. "What the?" It was clear Nawa had never seen an animal like this. While this elephant was large it was much smaller than the ones I spotted in my land. While most curses made it easy to despise this one seemed wounded and docile. I had little time to take it in when Nawa took it upon himself to split the creature in half with his Naginata. 

The fear in its eye's still haunt me but not as much as what happened next. 

 After the Elephant was slain a petite woman with warm brown skin and a colorful cloth came out the tree's with tears in her eyes. She yelled at us in a language neither of us knew, "Calm down" Nawa commanded quickly losing control. The woman had long black hair and the brightest grey eye's I had ever seen. "She's a curse user." I pieced together after seeing energy radiating off of her. "Well that changes things" Nawa branded his weapon again ready for the kill. "She isn't doing anything. Besides I think we killed her pet." I argued gesturing to the space the elephant once resided. "I'm sorry" I placed energy behind my words in order to translate my condolences. She looked at me with understanding and I saw tears well in her eyes.

At first I had thought she was mourning only to be proven wrong by the blood running out of her mouth. I looked down and noticed the Naginata was plunged into her belly. "No, why" I could hardly comprehend what I had witnessed. "Just saved someone else the trouble of killing her later." The woman slumped over dead, Nawa stepped on her back and pried the weapon from her body.  "You think I should take back her head" He pulled the woman up by her hair and decapitated her. "This will finally earn me some respect.' He laughed gleefully as went marching back to camp. That night began my own personal downfall.
