Unexpected Variable (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Chapter 20: Bargaining

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN JUJUTSU KAISEN, ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE AUTHOR GEGE AKUTAMI-SENSEI, I ONLY OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY.

I think this will be the last chapter I'll update for now.  I'm already planning out the next few chapters in my other work "Guardians undercover" I'm kind of debating on when the ending will be, which I think will be coming up soon.  Not really soon, but in a couple chapters.  Which I'm kind of excited for since it's been ongoing for so many years, and I just want an amazing and impacting ending for that one.

It makes me sad just thinking of ending it.

Anyways, sorry for any spelling or grammar errors.

Enjoy.

The fanged mouth smirked, "You're useless." He mocked, "For the past few nights you come to me instead of those jujutsu sorcerers.  Do you know why?"

He didn't wait for her response, "Because they're weak, and you can't even trust them.  How can you trust the people who want to execute your 'precious' brother." He laughed.

It was true.  She couldn't refute his statement.

She was weak.  She was a coward, and she really couldn't trust the people who took both Yuuji and her in.  She felt pathetic, that she knew very well seemed to be the truth.  She hated herself for not being able to do anything on her own.

He may mock her, and degrade her, but Sukuna was the only option she had.  Of course, there was Gojo, but she decided that he would be her last resort.  And she was sure that if she had asked for his help, the elders would notice any suspicious movement and be curious about it and send someone to investigate it.

Though she couldn't trust Sukuna to begin with, but he was the only one who would know more about this than anyone else.

She was basically on her knees bargaining, pleading with him.

'This will be the last night.' She was wasting too much time being here.  She had already spent three days trying to get Sukuna's help, though in the meantime she kept thinking of anything she could do on her own.

"Are you really not going to help me?" She asked one last time.

One look at Sukuna was her answer, "I see." Already expecting that answer, she stood up with heavy and numb feet, feet that felt like they were being sucked into the ground, she walked out of the room.

Sukuna watched her leave, expecting her to come the next night.  But she didn't.

There was no use to keep trying to get help from someone who didn't want to help, from someone who would only laugh at her pain and desperate pleas.

Her heart ached; it was hard to breath.

With each step down the hall to her room, it felt as if her pain grew.

She wanted to change the plot.  Yuuji wasn't going to die anytime soon, but if there was a way to prevent that from happening later one, she would take that chance.  That one moment, if she could only change would make a difference, both good and bad.  Sukuna would get another finger, but if she prevented it, Yuuji wouldn't be able to get the training that he got from Gojo.

'If I can change it, maybe I can ask Gojo to still train him as he did in the series?'
