Flawed Paradise || Jujutsu Kaisen (Itadori x Reader)

Chapter 23

Mother

You once again met the curse, Guizhong, in her domain. She greeted you with a smile when you opened your eyes. You looked around you and the domain's amount of dust increased

"Was it you earlier?" You asked her. "That voice..."

She nods.

"Why was I able to hear you earlier?"

"Well, thanks to the cursed energy you've consumed from other sorcerers, I've also gained from it making me able to communicate with you."

You scrunched your eyebrows on why would she even order you to do the technique. "How did you know that I needed to do that technique?"

She stepped back and tilted her head. "You still have zero knowledge about who I am?"

"Obviously."

The curse smiled. "I can feel outside from my domain that you were in danger... This Q and A have become too long. Let me start a proper introduction; My name is Guizhong, nice to meet you again, Y/N."

"I do have a lot of questions to ask you but I don't have enough time. I need to get back... my friends - " You tried to find a way to go back but Guizhong cut you off.

"No need to rush, my dear. Time and space don't exist in my domain."

"You mean..."

"As of now, the universe has temporarily stopped expanding. Basically, time stops outside whenever you are inside my domain. So, relax and let me explain to you everything you should know about your powers... after all, you are my new vessel."

Vessel?!

"Does that mean, I'm just like Yuuji?" You whispered to yourself. "But I didn't eat anything from a curse's body. You must be lying - "

"Yuuji? May I ask who they are?"

"It's Sukuna's ves - " You covered your mouth for talking recklessly, asking yourself are you were even allowed to expose it to her.

"Sukuna?" The woman grinned. "So, that man has once lived again, huh?" Even though she was smiling, her eyes slowly turned dark as if she just wanted to kill him. She shook her head trying to calm herself before facing you. "Whatever. First, let me teach you about the cursed technique you did earlier."

"Can we do that next time? I really wanna go and help my friends, now."

"Nonsense. Earlier, I noticed that you almost died. How can you help them with that state of yours? You're immeasurably weak compared to my first vessel!"

You furrowed your forehead from her remark. You felt offended. "I was caught off guard earlier. And my upperclassmen did his cursed speech on me - "

"Weak."

"I said I'm no - "

"So frail."

"Why are you so - "

"Wimp."

"..." Is this curse bipolar? She was just smiling earlier.

"Runt."

" I didn't even say anything!"

"Listen, you sound too confident with that state of yours. Is it because people are finally complimenting you with your skills?"

You just stood there, appealed with her words. You remembered your training on how your friends compliment you with your speed and strength, something you haven't experienced before being a shaman. And even with the reverse cursed technique. You also considered that you were unique in how you, someone who's poor and doesn't have any connections with the jujutsu society, can keep up to one of the strongest sorcerers in a month.
