...Just like a puppet controlled by unbreakable threads...


You and Fushiguro continued to wait for Itadori until both of you sensed that the powerful Cursed Spirit is no longer alive.

'The Innate Domain is sealed, and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit is dead. What's left is for Itadori to return safely...'

Fushiguro thought and hoped for the aforementioned boy to come back with no casualties but unfortunately, fate decided to not let things go his way again. 

Fushiguro's eyes widened when he felt an incredibly strong and familiar presence behind him making him stiff on his spot like a deer in headlights.

You sensed him too but you only smiled smugly and looked ahead. The man leaned over between you and Fsuhiguro's head and spoke in his usual teasing tone.

"Sorry, but he's not coming back"

Sukuna then focused his crimson eyes on you but you didn't spare him a single glance, you just continued to look ahead as if the King of Curses is not staring right at you at the moment. Sukuna stands behind you and Fushiguro, the latter's fingers were shaking in Sukuna's dominating presence.

"Don't be so scared. I'm in a good mood right now since this girl is still here, so let's chat"

He said calmly as he placed his fingers under a couple of strands of your hair in an attempt to earn a jolt, a squeak or even just a flinch from you. But you don't want to give the reactions he desires or do you intend to, so you just stood straight like a statue and pretended like Sukuna wasn't even there. 

Sukuna stared at you with his crimson eyes wide in thought,

'No reactions huh, she won't even bat me an eye. Heh, intriguing'

He grinned before he walked away and stood in front of you and Fushiguro and continued to talk. 

"This must be the price he's paying for using me without any restraint. He seems to be having some trouble switching back. But well,"

Then he grabbed Itadori's uniform and tore it apart like paper, revealing his refined abs covered with the same old markings.

"It is only a matter of time. So...I thought about what I could do now"

Sukuna lifted his hand and aimed at his own chest before penetrating it all of a sudden. Your eyes went wide and your eyebrows were slightly furrowed but you kept silent, Fushiguro had the same reaction but he gasped loudly as he watched Sukuna with wide eyes. 

Sukuna only smiled in satisfaction with the pain and trickles of his blood came pouring out of the corner of his lips. He gazed at you again and he was delighted to see your reaction even though how small and how almost unnoticeable it is.

'Finally, a reaction from you'

"What are you..."

Fushiguro paused as he continued to watch Sukuna and tried to figure out what the hell he is plotting to do to Itadori's body.

Then Sukuna pulled out his hand from Itadori's chest, revealing the boy's beating heart in his hand. Blood spurted out of his chest but he did not react whatsoever, it's actually just nothing to him, he's just possessing a kid's body anyway.

You slowly clenched your palm into a tight fist as you tried to hide their shaking as much as you can. 

You're not terrified of seeing an organ being pulled out of the body because that's nothing new to you. You have already grown used to it.
