Chapter 10: I'm sorry, Megumi

"Once more just before you leave, I wish to hear you say my name..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trees let out a screech as the young male trad on the leaves, leaving an enormous pool of blood behind. His feature was a mess after the fight and the more he moved his body, his coughs grew frantically.

"What was I thinking? Going in a fight with raw power-" His mumble was cut by a fit of bloody coughs, meaning that he was damaged from the inside, "I need to practice more in shaping myself..."

With not much choice left, Kazu kept walking to where he left Ijichi while secretly hoping that he would not get lost on the way there. It was hard enough to keep himself awake, yet the darkness eloped, disturbing his sight.

All the while guiding himself through the pain, he could feel every beat of his heart and it was getting weaker each time.

"Eh? Are they done with the mission? But a bad curse energy still lingers..." The expanded area disappeared and nothing but the death of the high grade curse could have done that.

Thinking of the two students and a new one that he barely talked with, he fastened his pace until something reminded him of the king of curses.

'It's Sukuna! Then Yuji is...!?'

The silver head raced to the entrance they passed before and took himself to the source, deliberately ignoring the pain in his abdomen.

A jujutsu student and a certain pinky were standing a meter away from each other. One looked wary while the other was as smug as ever.

"He seems to have a little trouble swapping with me."

Not wasting any more time, a male came down from above them and his silver hair was glinting in the process, although he still had an obvious pained expression.

"Give Yuji back to me, you bloodsucker! I'm not going home without him!" Kazu exclaimed and hissed as he held onto his abdomen.

The black haired student seemed to take the hint and moved behind him, acting as a pillar for the injured.

"Marvelous! What a perfect scene to miss, a sorcerer aiding one of their own. Say your goodbyes before the time of your demise!" Sukuna laughed like a maniac as he placed his hand on Itadori's chest.

Knowing what the curse would do, Kazu activated his technique again just to cough out blood from his internal injury.

At that, Fushiguro failed to emit a word regarding the situation. 'Even someone powerful has their limits. We're all human after all.'

"I'll take him as a hostage!" Sukuna yelled after he took Itadori's heart out. "I can live without a heart but the brat will die when he exchange place with me."

Every second felt like an entire life for the silver head. He knew that he made a mistake showing off an incomplete technique when he dealt with the special grade.

But he was enjoying the fight from before. It built a pile of adrenaline rush that brought him here, standing before a king and doing nothing to prevent Itadori from being in grave danger.

"Even if he's gone, he'll always find a way to be back and I won't stop even if I have to replace his heart with mine."

It was a terrible decision. Still, a good senpai would do anything to assure the younger's safety and that's what Kazu was aiming to do.
