[Megumi POV]

Sukuna, the fiercest king anyone has ever known, leaves the room without hurting me or saying a word.

Before he leaves, he stood against the door, swinging it open.

"Don't get yourself killed, that's all I'm asking" He closed shuts the door.

My legs are still trembling, I can still feel my heart racing like crazy. Sukuna didn't just gave me an advice about staying alive, because he wouldn't have.

A door knock, I jumped and quickly wore a fresh new shirt. The shaking automatically just gone by itself.

Did he left something?

"Megumi, it's me" a familiar voice from yesterday.

My heart stays calm but still sank for some reason. The door was open by me, from there he stood with a curious face.

"I heard yelling earlier" Noritoshi said, with a worry face.

"I was-watching a horror movie"i lied.

"That sounds like a lame joke" he smiled.

"Anyways-nothings here tata" I shut the door.

The door didn't closed completely, I stare at his fingers being crushed by me, he was blocking it.

I quickly swing it open.

"Are you nuts?" I yelled.

He chuckled,rubbing his sore fingers.
It didn't make me think twice and just let him in instead, since his so desperately. I make tea for him because that's all I have.

"I didn't see you carrying your bow and arrow today" I said while pouring tea in his cup.

"I want to apologise" he said slowly.

I ignored it.

"For.. pushing you too hard last night or even talking about your sister but please hear me out" he sounds guilty.

"Speak, what is it you want again?" i sigh.

"Us" he smiled.

"Ew"

"No not that, as private investigators, what do you say?" he hand me his sore hand.

I looked down at it, his trying to give me a hand shake. I looked up at his friendly smile, he does seem to have small eyes but during battle is different.

His expression can change to a kind rabbit to a fierce dragon. I remembered that time during our match, he performed a stronger figure with his right eye that appears to be a glowing red scar.

Was he a cursed figure? Or its just magic-

"Megumi? My hand is getting tired" he called out.

"Drop it-I haven't decide, an apology dosen't mean much but I'll accept it"i sip my tea.

I can tell he dropped his face, his side bangs covering his dark eyes. I seriously still can't trust this man easily even if his older than me.

"Also about Sukuna-"he adds in.

I spit my tea and coughs.

"Are you alright?" his shook.

"Yeah" I licked my lips.

"About him"

"What about him?" I said with a nervous tone.

"He hasn't been approaching us much in Itadori's body" he seems aware.
