Tempestuous

~Chapter Seven~

3rd Person POV...

       Six days and Megumi's heat was over. It was short—Sukuna was very displeased— and he began to regain consciousness. "Don't touch me." The shaman hisses, unable to move much with his aching body. Sukuna ignores his demand, grabbing his ankle and pulling him closer so the demon is pressing between his legs.

      "You're so cruel to treat me so coldly. After all, weren't you the one bouncing so adorably on my cock?" Sukuna largely smirks as he grabs the bruised wrists and holds him down. Megumi's cheeks burn as he avoids eye contact. "Oh? You remember your heat? This makes it even better." He chuckles darkly, humored at the teen's embarrassment.

        Megumi wiggles his body in attempt to escape the harsh grasp. "Hard to summon your shikigami like this?" Sukuna coos with a taunting smirk on his face. He had reverted to his other form with two arms, the one that looks like Itadori and yet not at all. "If you fight me, I'll have to hurt you."

         "You're going to hurt me either way." Megumi snarls, a feral look in his eyes that Sukuna loves so. He leans down and the shaman turns his head to the side in disgust and dismissal but it doesn't stop the curse as he licks across his neck causing his body to shiver.

       "I gave you pleasure, the pain comes with it. My queen, don't be furious with me. I have plans for you and I. Will you be obedient for me?" Sukuna questions with a serious expression. Megumi wonders if he could use this chance to observe the layout of the territory and see if there is an escape. He bites his bottom lip and nods his head with pleading, innocent eyes.

Pulling back, Sukuna's form changes to the larger, scarier one. He holds his gigantic hand out for the much smaller and softer one. Much to his distaste, he accepts it and winces from the pain. He links his arm under his bottom and picks Megumi up. "I'll carry you." He states as he exits the door. Uraume is waiting outside and bows his head.

The halls are large, a true castle-like experience for Megumi. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief. Everything is extravagant and while it gives off a darker aesthetic, it's not any less beautiful. "Is it to your liking?" Sukuna murmurs against Megumi's ear causing his cheeks to flush.

"..." Megumi clenches his jaw and doesn't reply which causes Sukuna to chuckle. Of course he would be stubborn, how could the curse expect anything less? He takes him out to the gardens and Megumi could hardly believe something so beautiful still existed. "Is it... real?" He hesitates to ask.

      "As real as you are shaman. I kept this place safe just for you. It's a wedding gift." Sukuna says causing Megumi to choke on his own saliva. Surely he did not hear that correctly. The King of Curses did not tell him he gave him a wedding gift. Impossible. That would mean Megumi was going to be forced to marry this monster. He'd refuse of course! It doesn't matter how attractive the curse is-attractive? Surely he did not just think of his kidnapper as attractive...

       "Do you want me to put you down?" Sukuna questions. Megumi doesn't want to be in the arms of this man but he also doesn't want to feel the pain in his behind. Sukuna sees the conflicted look and grins. "If you ask politely, I'll heal you."

      "Tsk, fuck off." Megumi snarls. Sukuna sighs, rolling his eyes. He raises one hand and Megumi gives a confused look. His eyes widen in horror as one of the flower bushes is set ablaze in scorching hot fire. "Stop! Sukuna please stop!" He shouts. He can't bare to see the lasting beauty of the world be destroyed. He nips the boy's neck, a sadistic grin growing on his face.

      "Why should I?"

       "I'll give you something in return! I-I will!" Megumi hurriedly pleads. In agreement, the demon stops the illusion and the fire vanishes, the flowers perfectly fine. Megumi couldn't believe it, he had manipulated his vision, made him see what Sukuna desired him to. The pain in his body was gone and he was carefully set on the ground. Healthy green grass touches his bare legs as he stares dumbfounded at the roses.

       "You know what I'm capable of, Fushiguro. Fighting me will only destroy everything around you." Sukuna tells the boy who bites back the tears that threatened to spill. He's furious, furious at Sukuna for what he's done to his world. Sure, it wasn't perfect but it was so incredible, so much to be explored. So plentiful in Mother Nature, so intoxicatingly gorgeous. "Megumi, don't worry. Nature's beauty will return. First, we had to rid the humans that threatened it and us. You'll be the mother of the new world, a role made just for you."

       "Shut up." Megumi stands, glaring at the curse. "This is all your fault. You destroyed everything! You ruined Yuji's life-" The boy's eyes widen. If Sukuna was out of Itadori's body then...where was he? Sukuna grins wickedly, moving closer and tauntingly tilting his head, bending so he's at eye level.

       "Curse got your tongue shaman?"

      "Where is he?" Megumi whispers, clenching his hands into fists. He's been so distracted he hasn't thought of Yuji. He is fearful to hear what the answer is. Is his best friend alive or is be being brutally tortured? Is he having to endure what Megumi had to-no... no it must be worse. While Megumi has been fed, clothed, and given water... he knows Sukuna wouldn't give such mercy to his ex vessel.

       "Let's make another deal, hm? You already promised to give me something for keeping your garden safe and I intend to put that promise to good use. You want information about the Itadori brat? Then you'll have to do as I say." Sukuna grips the teen's throat and tilts his head up and the curse resists the urge to aggressively kiss him. "Well?"

         He knows he shouldn't make any deals with Sukuna. He knows and yet he can't help but want to protect his friend to the best of his ability. Itadori had always been good to him, better than him when it came to right and wrong. He will risk his life to protect someone unlike Megumi who analyzes the out come first. He focuses on the goal of the mission but his best friend has always been so different.

        "What do you want?" Megumi is relucant to ask. Sukuna could desire anything of him from using his abilities for personal gain to sexual acts. He shudders in disgust at the thought. Sukuna knows what he's doing, he's going to keep his blessing with him forever. It doesn't matter who has to be tortured or killed, it's all for the better. His Megumi belongs here, he deserves to be pampered like a queen and fucked like a slut.

        "You won't run from me. You won't try to escape." Sukuna's voice darkens as his eyes fill with possessive rage. It makes Megumi shrink a little, this curse is clearly obsessed with him and that scares the boy. He does know what this curse is capable of doing but what's scarier is the things he is able to do that he doesn't know about yet.

        "Okay... but you have to keep your promise." Megumi complies helplessly. He isn't strong enough to fight Sukuna, he can't do it alone. If he had Gojo then he stood a high chance but he doesn't. Fushiguro has no one except possibly Yuji but he doesn't know what he's been going through since the bodies were separated.

        "Very good, come with me." Sukuna doesn't wait for a response as he begins walking. Megumi shakily stands up as he struggles to keep up with the curse's long strides. Megumi took one last look behind him at the ethereal scenery before jogging after the King.
