The Tale Of Ryoumen Sukuna (Sukuna X Reader)

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲-𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞

"I want you to leave." Sukuna demanded. "Never." I talked back, our argument started after Sukuna finished killing Nurarihiyon. He hurriedly take me outskirts of the city along with Uraume. "Didn't you miss your home, your father. You keep begging for me to let you go home and now I did! NOW GO!" He reprimanded.

My body stiffened as he said those words "No not like this." I insisted, he clenched his fist and grab my neck and pinned me on the tree. "I can kill you anytime, I want maggot. You disgust me everyday, and everytime I see you I just wished I kill you in the very first moment I met you." Sukuna's voice was dark and threatening. He tightened the grip on my neck and I gasped painfully, I tried to push the arm away but he was too strong.

"I-I-If y-y-you real.. ly feel... that way, then... me t-too." He released me from his grasp, I was gasping for air and Uraume patted my back. "Uraume if you decide to leave along with her, I wouldn't care. You're nothing but a mere servant that do my wishes." Sukuna insulted.

I stood up and slapped him on the face "How dare you say that to Uraume, you're nothing but just a cursed spirit that cares for yourself! Nurarihiyon was right, all cursed spirits love to toy a human's emotion. If you really wanted to kill me then you should have killed me." I took off the necklace and throw it on the ground.

I tried holding back my tears and walked away, with my heart aching. What is wrong with him? Everything is messed up I almost ended up dying and now I was molested.

I have to be relieved that I am no longer with them, no trouble is coming ahead without risking my life. Only that's left is going back to my family and tell everyone that I am alive including my father.

Tears starting to stream down my cheeks, and I wiped it with my hands. I should be happy, I never got the chance to say a proper goodbye to them, I have to be strong.

I went on the harbor, as I went there the place was as if it was a ghost town. Except for crew members in the ship waiting for a person. As I went there, I asked one of the captain how long does it take to arrive at my hometown. And he said it might just take few days clear, and he said there's nothing to worry about as there is no storm coming. I took off a golden knot attached on my kimono and I ask them for an available yukata to wore. I used the golden knot for paying, and they seem to like my payment as how they found out the value of the knot. Even though it looks like as if it's nothing it was more quite the price than a five pouch of golden coins.

I sighed and watch at the gloomy horizon.

"Miss you seem trouble." A young crewman voiced.

"Wouldn't your captain will scold you if you're slacking off?" He laughed. "No, I already finished my task!" He chirped. How cheerful...

"You seem to young to know much troubles kid." I sadly smiled.

"Well, I'm an orphan. I faced a lot and also you remind me of someone, she's always frowning whenever we met! But I told her some stories when sailing on the sea, her face lit up and wanted to know more. I could never forget it, she's the reason I have to work hard." His eyes shined with inspiration watching at the gloomy sky.

"Who is she? Do you like her?" I smugly smiled and he blushed.

"Well... she told me she won't see me again when she reached eighteen. Her family wanted to set her off on marriage with someone else, and I decided that if I earned small fortune we would run away together." I don't want to ruin this kid's hope, a noble falling to a peasant will face much hardship in the future.

"I hope you can live happily together, falling to a noble will be difficult." I advised and he nodded willingly.

"Same to you Miss, you should smile more. A lady like you isn't suited with wrinkles. If something happened between you and your lover maybe he wanted to protect you." He expressed.

"I don't need someone to protect me, also I don't have a lover." I revealed.

"Really? You frowned as if you have one." I laughed at his disbelief and he scratched his head. "Now you are smiling Miss! Your future man would be lucky."

"And why is that?"

"Because whenever he wakes up, you would always give him your beautiful smile that could lighten up his day." He exclaimed. I took off my earrings attached on my ear and handed it on to him.

"Miss, I can't take it!" The earrings I gave him was a square shaped emerald with small beaded crystals attached on. The earrings itself was more a worth than chest of gold coins.

"You wanted to run away with her didn't you? I know someone in the city who give best prices with no bias, he is a pawnshop caretaker and if you give this to him with my name on it he'll help you exchange it with a lot of money." I insisted.

"Also, use this for you and your lover's living. I want you to take care of her, A man with great fortune will always have an enemy." I added.

"But I-"

"Kid, you're a good person. Instead taking her away why don't you prove yourself worthy to her family, why don't you become a nobleman yourself? I don't want you to abuse what blessing you have been given and I want it you to use it genuinely. Okay?"

"Master Sukuna why did you do that? You could have just told her everything." Uraume said while I throw each pebble on the river. "It's better that way. Keeping her along with us will only bring trouble and in fact that her life is always at risk countless time and the fact that she was almost raped by that sh!thead I can't withstand it. And now that the emperor's imperial court are alerted,  jujutsu sorcerers will start haunting me down." I explained.

"Master Sukuna, what you just did was unforgivable. You almost killed her... her neck could be bruising, it must be hard for her to speak." Uraume worried, "Will we meet her again?" I sighed at Uraume's question.

"I wished." I admitted, Uraume looked at me surprisingly and I gave them a bored look "But what if... when we meet her again she is wedded with a man?" Did Uraume really have to question something like that, it's annoying.

"Then, it's good. Atleast she is happy with someone else." I replied with a bitter tone.

"I'm glad you're starting to open more about your feelings, Master Sukuna." Uraume sadly smiled.

"Does that mean Master Sukuna is falling to Y/n?" Uraume hinted and I turned my head on them and glared. Uraume nervously chuckled and left to scout the area.

I remember when we talked alone, sometimes I just couldn't understand her. She's annoying, she stayed positive even after everything that happened. Everytime I hear her laughter, I always think how carefree she is.

She would always ask about how I got my tattoos and she wanted to get to know more of me, how naive.

I took out a small object, it was a hair pin I bought. It was a crystal wisteria hair pin, her eyes reminded me of wisteria flowers that bloomed in the night. She's the example of imperfection, and I didn't have the chance to give it to her. I'm also surprised, she kept the carving i made for her.

"The promise I made for her sounds so bullcrap."

"I told her I will never make her cry and I... just did."
