To My Master I Obliged

First Move

•Sukuna's Pov•

We all woke up around mid morning, Y/n has expressed the mistake she made yesterday when challenging me. We both made it to around 670ish reps before Y/n tapped out.

She stuck around as I finished up, heading straight to bed right after.

But today was a new day. Now servants were running back and forth trying to be ready to head out by noon.

My tropes were ready, mid-tropes too, even front lines. It was just the back end, they were having problems with arrangements or something. At least that's what Y/n tried to convince me.

I knew fully Niel was suggesting otherwise. But in the end what I says goes and I couldn't give less of a fuck if you agree or not.

"Is everything alright?" I let myself in the conference room. Watching Niel shift his gaze up and quickly stop talking.

"Everything is just about handled. But I figured we could have Y/n at the back to keep them in check." He was trying to subtly change my call.

How fucking dare he.

"Tell your men- and women, to fucking handle themselves. I made myself clear in what I wanted in the reports."

"Sukuna we're top priority, we should start heading out. Everyone else will follow." Her hand was behind me urging me out of the room, holding the door open with the other.

She turned toward Niel muttering something before turning back and walking down the hall with me.

"I just need to get my knifes from my office." She placed her hand on my shoulder, as if in reassurance before heading off.

I simply watched. She wore a long sleeve shirt, and breathable pants. As well as a 'sword halt' custom made for her knives.

All the tropes were waiting in the throne room. Some anxious about the fight ahead, others more worried about the trip. Then the few who felt very confident.

"Everyone with me move forward. We're blocking the back roads. Y/n will lead the rest of you out shortly." People grabbing weapons, medicines, anything and everything necessary.

This is where we stabilize our power, get the upper hand right at the beginning. One wrong move could break the whole attack.

"Everyone remember the plan, under no circumstances are you to cover me in anyway. We mustn't risk setting off suspicions."

Let the games begin.

The travel was quiet. Sukuna's group only a good 25 feet ahead of us. But Sukuna stayed back next to me. Eventually he and his team would split off to the back roads unnoticed.

I was constantly tracing shapes into the handle of my knife while considering a few possibilities. I trust him. I do, but if it comes down to me needing him. Everything could go wrong. Our element of surprise gone.

"We have the upper hand. If you see Devon at all take him out immediately."

"I can do that." I flashed my knifes blade into the sunlight. Dark clouds we're heading our way. It was going to be a very dark time in history. It's a good chance that it wouldn't be just us and Hangist being affected, but some surrounding towns around us both. It all depends on how the cards were played.

"Are you nervous? You were fidgeting with your handle earlier." Sukuna just kept looking forward. We both were.

"No just thinking."
