A light in the temple

5.

"Gojo and Geto went out for pheasants plus other purchases so their lessons have been cancelled, if they will stay they are forbidden to disturb the class" Nanami speaks accommodating his glasses, at this moment he has a Koto in front of him just like Yuuji, after the normal lessons, music and tea preparation were next, recently added the preparation of the Kiseru of the curse.

"They won't make noise Nanamin, you'll see says Yuuji in favor of his friends, the trio of kids were thick as thieves, they are always together in their free time.

Nanami just sighs and starts to touch the strings of the Koto for Yuuji to repeat to see if he remembers where they are just by the sound.

Nobora watches the beginnings of the lesson bored, the disadvantages of Yuuji's blindness makes everything go slow, Nobora hates the slowness but if she says something Nanami will surely bring her out and even if she doesn't admit it, Yuuji plays decently.

"the 4th string for us to start Itadori kun" Nanami's voice sounds while playing the first notes for the little one to play the next notes by himself, Nanami plays the accompanying sound, it's something relaxing, full of peace and that would calm anyone down, except Nobora who is ready to use her hammer and nail herself with one of her nails because of how bored she is.

Still feeling that everything is boring Nobora decides to imagine things while looking at the ceiling, at first she imagines delicious food, expensive clothes, sweets and so on but thanks to living with the curse and being Yuuji's friend, that became her reality, so her mind wanders to what she saw in the village that worships Sukuna and where they usually do the shopping for the humans living in the temple.

A woman made up a wealthy lady, she made her look more beautiful and Nobora wanted to look more beautiful than she was, but she needed a victim first to test the makeup she bought.

"You played wrong, repeat" Nanami's voice breaks her illusion caused by the music making the girl look at them, and her dear pink-haired friend made her put a smile on her lips, she knows who will be her test subject.

"Nanamin" the girl speaks with a singing tone, while she approaches and holds Yuuji by the shoulders "Could you tell Sukuna sama that Yuuji will be late? Yes? Thank you, Fushigurou come!" the girl without waiting for answers or anything else leaves with both children.

"I don't think it's a good idea" Yuuji speaks when they reach the girl's room, usually he likes to be with his friends but his special time with Suku was about to start and he appreciated it very much.

 "Sukuna will love this, you'll see, I'll even give you my candy if it goes wrong"  said the girl confidently while taking the makeup.

While that was happening Sukuna was waiting for his brat in the courtyard, he saw Yuuji's Koto but the boy was not around, something strange from the little one who always wanted to please the curse in any way he could.

"Ah, here he is!" Nobora's voice sounds making Sukuna look to where the girl was shouting  "Sukuna close your eyes!" 

"Why should I listen to you? Moreover, why should I listen to you, you noisy brat?"  Sukuna asks looking at the little girl with a face of few friends.

"Because you know I'm going to rat you out to Yuuji and Jin, Yuuji will punish you in the corner and Jin won't make your favorite tea"  the little girl answers with a superior smile.

If it was something else the brat was trying to blackmail him with he could ignore it, but the brat is smart, and she used his brat who could ask him for anything and he would fulfill it, and then there are the teas made by Jin that became the favorite of the whole temple, the little beast was good, Sukuna could say she was a little bit proud of her.

"Fine, but if you come near me to try something brat, I'll tell Uraume to take all your kimonos" Sukuna says as he closes his eyes, he can hear her moving, she seems to bring something or someone by the sound of other zori approaching.

"Wait, still, stand here, if it's there, quiet" the girl's voice blurts out phrases for someone else by the way she said them they must have been for Yuuji, surely they are directions "Well, old man when you don't hear my footsteps you can open your eyes, enjoy, I demand from thanks a new kimono" Nobora's voice sounds as the zori make noise indicating that the girl is walking away.

While the sound of the zori becomes faint the sound of the Koto begins to be heard emitting its sweet melody fills the atmosphere, slowly Sukuna opens his eyes to see his brat and no doubt the sight has won that brat that kimono.

Before his eyes playing as always is Yuuji, but this time you could say he looked like the heavenly creature Sukuna always thought he was.

A red kimono with golden embroidery representing a temple, a white obi was tied around Yuuji's little body, his face had been bleached with makeup putting a subtle red color on his cheeks, his lips were decorated with lipstick that invited to be kissed, his eyelids also had a red tone that was noticeable since the little boy had his eyes on the strings so he could not see them, the melody was beautiful, not polished but beautiful.

For 30 minutes Yuuji plays the melodies that Nanami taught him between yesterday and today, when the last note is played Yuuji raises his head, he is waiting for a reaction surely because of his appearance and his music.

"You have improved a lot Yuuji, it was a beautiful concert, besides how you look, quite a show" Sukuna says with soft applause earning a smile from the little one" Nobora had a good idea this time, you look like a celestial being". The little one lets out a joyful laugh as he raises his arms to indicate the lifted being, as always Sukuna lifts him up to his face level, the little one's hands caress his face affectionately and then he speaks.
"Nobora said she saw this in the village and wanted to practice to do it on her and others, she says married women pay well for this and she wants her own money" the little boy says as he kisses the curse's nose.

With that said the curse smiles in a way that strangers might see as sinister and who might think she is planning the destruction of humans but in her mind Sukuna hatches another plan, one that she considers the next step regarding her brat.

And in that plan, the final phase has Yuuji wearing a beautiful white kimono with carmine lips.
