14 | Reviving Itadori

     "Don't look up without my permission," Sukuna told Itadori, who's beneath him. "It makes me sick, brat."

     Itadori started to ready his fist to punch Sukuna, "Then come on down. I'll look down on you."

     "You look mad," the King of Curses commented.

     "Of course, I was killed by you!" His vessel yelled back at him with an irk mark. I can tell that these two have no chance to get along.

     "Have you forgotten I healed your hands?"

     "But then you took my heart out, didn't you?!" Itadori spat back. He took a good look around, "Is this Hell? I don't like the idea that I'm stuck with you even after I'm dead." He stated as he took a skull. "But that's fine. I'll make you cry!" He shouted as he threw it to Sukuna's seat.

Itadori followed Sukuna, who was now standing at the very top of some kind of spine that belonged to a human...

     "Grit your teeth!" Itadori yelled as he ran towards Sukuna, trying to punch as he might while Sukuna was simply dodging all of it. Itadori suddenly made a fake move, punching the ground that caused Sukuna to be surprised at first.

     'He's targeting for the ground at the very beginning.'

      "You've been tricked!" Itadori smirked at Sukuna. He was gonna make his trip to his lower back, but due to Sukuna's superhuman abilities, he disappeared where he was. "Eh?"

     "You're so boring," Sukuna kicked Itadori back to the ground.

     Itadori fell face flat on the floor, he immediately sat back, "I thought I had that one in the bag," he remarked. Until Sukuna land on his back, "Darn it!"

     Sukuna sat at Itadori's back, "This isn't hell. This is my Innate Domain."

     "Innate Domain? I think Fushiguro mentioned this before."

     "Think of this place as somewhere inside my mind," Sukuna explained their situation. "This means we're not dead yet."

     "What?"

     "As long as you agree on my terms, I'll heal your heart and bring you back to life," the old man offered.

     "You talk like you're so big." Itadori spat back. "You've been putting on airs, but you just don't want to die either!"

     "Circumstances have changed," Sukuna defended himself. "Soon, you'll be able to witness something interesting. I have two conditions, first, if I recite Enchain, you must lend me your body for one minute. Second, you must forget this agreement."

     "No way," Itadori declined. "I don't know what your motive is, but it's too suspicious! After going through all that, I finally understand. You're evil, I'll never lend you my body again."

     "Then I promise you, I won't kill or hurt anyone within that one minute," Sukuna promised. He groaned, "This is so annoying."

     "Who would believe that?"

     "There's no need to believe in my words," Sukuna assured. "This is called the Binding Vow. In other words, an oath. If I don't keep my promise, I'll be punished." He added. "If you take excess advantage of our relationship, you'll have to pay the price. You should have experienced it before."

     "But nothing happened to you!"

     "What?" Sukuna asked. "Ah... Oh, I wanted to take over your body that time, too. And you only did it because the Jujutsu Sorcerer told you to do so." He nodded at the repeating scene. "A Binding Vow with mutual interests is one of the important creeds in sorcery."
