Capítulo III- El mas fuerte
Manic laughter traveled throughout the night. An eye snapped open underneath the outer corner of Itadori's eye. Its red iris narrowed, eyeing an injured Atsuki and Megumi on the floor. The laughter grew louder and louder as he tossed his head back, grinning ear to ear. "Ah, I knew it. The light feels fresh in the flesh!" Itadori ripped his sweater along with his shirt. It fell to the floor beside him as he stared at the full moon.
"The worst happened." Atsuki looked over at Megumi. Terror filled his eyes, ignoring the blood seeping down his head. "The special-grade curse object incardinated."
Atsuki's heart thumped against her chest, scooting away. Megumi was stuck in his spot and not bothering to take his eyes off Sukuna. She was back at square one, wanting to give up and run away. She fought against curses she could take down but against Sukuna, the King of all Curses? She had to hit her head a couple of times for the thought of fighting against him would run through her mind.
"A curse spirit's flesh is so boring. Where are the people? The women?" He stomped on the railing and threw his hands to the side, overlooking the city. "What a wonderful era to be in. Women and Children crawling like maggots. Marvelous! It'll be a massacre!" His laughter stopped and he smacked himself across the face. He gripped his cheeks, falling back on the rooftop.
Atsuki tugged on Megumi's sleeve. He peeked back over his shoulder at her. Her intimidating look vanished, overcome by fear. Her pupils dilated in her purple iris as her heart pumped out her blood throughout her system to flee. Megumi said, "You need to go."
"What do you think you're doing with my body? Give it back." The question caught Atsuki off-guard. It came from Itadori or Sukuna. She wasn't able to tell. She was too caught up in wanting to run off.
"How are you able to move?"
"I mean, it's my body."
"Leave before you get hurt," Megumi advised.
Atsuki's eyebrow rose, "What? Are you crazy?"
Megumi shot up, putting up his guard. He created a distance between himself and her. "Don't move." Sukuna glanced at them. "You're no longer human. Under Jujutsu regulations, Itadori Yuuji, I will exorcise you as a curse!" a black liquid seeped out of the ground and swirled around him.
He was crazy.
Atsuki thought about going up to him and dragging him away to let Gojou handle the situation. He tells her not to be stupid and here he was standing in front of Sukuna, a special-grade curse that would kill him minutes after the start of the fight. She pushed herself up, attaching a thread to a card, and stood next to him.
"Huh?" Megumi lowered his hands.
She curled the card up between her two fingers, "I'm not going to let you exorcise a special-grade curse by yourself."
