Tempestuous

~Chapter Forty-One~

3rd Person POV...

"How are the preparations?" Sukuna questions Mahito, his crimson eyes fill with disgust at all the humans used as experiments for all of the stitched curse's games, for his knowledge, for his enjoyment. Frankly, the King could care less about the humans that are sacrificed. This is going to be the first ever birth with a curse and a human, at least... it's going to be because after Mahito learns what he has to they are all killed.

Sukuna will not allow some pathetic mortal to take away a title that's meant for his queen. Their child won't come out disgusting or deformed like these filthy things. He wonders, will the baby look like his precious Megumi or only gain some features? He might become more interested if it looks like his beloved. "I have it all figured out! I will be able to assist in the child's delivery with Uraume. You don't have to worry, Megumi's end will be painless-"

"I've told you before you go too far with your jokes. I'll end up killing you, you're all replaceable. Everyone except Megumi." Sukuna's tone is deadly but it only makes Mahito giggle. The King isn't too happy about trusting Mahito with knowing what he's capable of doing to humans, how he's able to morph their bodies into something so revolting. But he knows he can trust Uraume, his forever loyal servant that just so happens to adore Megumi which only serves in Sukuna's favor.

"What do you enjoy about that human? Must be something, you tied him to you as your link! He'll live an immortal life with you! I have to know, is it his body? Is it different from the others? Perhaps he's well skilled in bed? More than the rest? If that's the case then how many people has he slept with?" Mahito rambles, his curiosity for the teen growing more and more. It doesn't make sense to him, he enjoyed having sexual fun with Junpei to pass time but he never felt anything. He never did understand why Sukuna has done everything he has for a mere human.

"You run your mouth too carelessly about what is mine. It's much deeper than just his body, a body that has only had me desecrate inside. Why are you so interested?" Sukuna looks at him with an observing look, he's clearly in a bad mood today but that's not going to stop Mahito.

"Oh? Is it his power? You're only fueling my interest in Fushiguro. Don't look at me like that, i'm not trying to touch him like you so often do. Especially with how coldly he looks at me, I couldn't even if I tried." Mahito sighs, pouting a bit. Sukuna growls at him but Mahito just giggles, putting his hands up. "I was only kidding, try to be more relaxed. I can feel the dark aura surrounding you. If you aren't too careful you'll scare the poor thing."

"Shut your mouth. How many have died because of the birth?" Sukuna questions, looking at the recently deceased body on the table. An omega boy with shiny blond hair, extremely paled skin due to being deceased, and there is bleeding all around his thighs and on the table. It doesn't look like the birth went well at all.

Mahito sits, poking the body. "Half." He replies shortly. The stronger curse looks up at him in shock. "Half?" He repeats and Mahito nods his head. "Half." He confirms. Half of them died during the process, that gives Megumi a 50% chance of death. "Here comes the unknown part. Megumi is your link now, it's unclear if he'll come back or not. The child was already there when he became your link which can interfere greatly with the string connecting you both."

"What are you saying? It's possible for our child to end Megumi's life? Something that isn't suppose to be possible as long as I live?" Sukuna snaps, clenching the wooden table so tightly his knuckles turn white. If that's the case then Sukuna already knows what he has to do, it doesn't matter if Megumi were to plead him not to. It's a sacrifice he's willing to make for his Fushiguro Megumi.

"It's possible only during the birth. The child won't be able to truly kill the boy after that. There's a lot we don't know about human and curse births, it's never been truly successful. Humans are weak, they can't withstand it. Many of them died during birth, many died a bit after, some of the children died because of the odd mixtures and then there is miscarriages. It's like breeding a cat and dog, it doesn't quite work." Mahito explains, his expression is serious for once.

"...How many were fully successful?"

"One." Mahito gestures for Sukuna to follow and he does, the long haired curse opening the curtains to show a weak looking boy with a child. He looks very similar to the deceased body on the table, Sukuna assumes those two must've been twins. The baby looks more normal than the rest. Sukuna bends down, the omega shifting back with his body trembling. "I kept this one alive to show you."

Sukuna clenches his jaw as he considers whether he should ask the boy questions or not. "You can try talking to him. He won't talk to us because we're curses. So stubborn." Mahito giggles. "Although, you might have a higher chance if you have your precious wife talk to him. Megumi is an immortal human."

The omega seems to be interested at the thought of seeing another human like him but it seems he is weak. He has bags under his eyes, bruises on his body, and seems to be fully drained of energy. "I'll bring Megumi here very soon, keep him alive." Sukuna swiftly leaves, going to find his wife that was currently resting in their bedroom. He felt enervated and Sukuna was reluctant in leaving him but he knew he had to see the experiments. Megumi had already spoken to Nanami and had some things to discuss with Sukuna.
