A light in the temple

"You wish to speak with me Sukuna sama?" Jin's voice sounds rather surprised as he hands Toji a bowl of beans for the man to draw from their pods.

"It can be here if you wish Jin" the curse speaks looking somewhat amused at one of his most powerful warriors suffer from unsheathing beans but he also understands him he as well as Sukuna would do anything his pelirosas ordered them to do.

"Alright Sukuna sama, what do you wish?" Jin's voice is calm and even somewhat curious, usually his lord demands, that he asks and in such a calm manner has the humans on their toes.

Without saying anything Sukuna prostrates in front of the pelirosa who looks surprised at his lord, Toji is equally paralyzed at this.

"With your permission and blessing I wish to court your son" Sukuna speaks firmly surprised to the pelirosa, Jin knew that his son was someone special to the curse but he never expected it to such a great level.

Jin didn't say anything at first then he made the curse stand up and he himself knelt before his lord.

"I am honored that Sukuna sama would consider my Yuuji as his possible mate and I accept that he be courted on one condition only, Yuuji must be able to use cursed energy to defend himself" Jin speaks, his usually warm and kind voice is cutting, emotionless he sounds like someone else, not the kind man who always offers tea to visitors (whether or not they perish for a sip of said tea) or watches that everyone, human and curses are well fed.

"He doesn't need to learn can I protect -" Sukuna's protest is silenced with Jin raising his hand.

"I don't doubt Sukuna sama's strength and power but you are a curse, thousands of sorcerers want your head and if any of them notice Yuuji they will attack you, what if Choso isn't there? Or Uraume? Any of us could be fighting leaving him alone, Yuuji has always felt like a nuisance, so it is my condition for you to court Yuuji, you must enter him in the use of cursed energy" Jin says as he goes back to his work of unsheathing beans.

Sukuna stands up and bows to leave, Jin's words needed a reflection to know what he should do.

"Uraume prepare me a Kiseru and leave it near the pond."

"Right away Sukuna sama"

Walking through the corridors also helped to reflect, Jin's words were still repeating in his head, Sukuna did not doubt in his strength, he could protect this castle by himself if he wanted to do it but Jin had a point, Yuuji was a powerful weakness even if the little one did not know it, one that Sukuna had to fix if he wanted to avoid losing his little light.

Arriving at the pond the Kiseru was perfectly prepared and placed next to a cushion for the curse to sit on, Sukuna lights the object and takes a puff feeling the tobacco fill his mouth, it is bitter, it seems that the peach is over.

With a big puff Sukuna looked at his options, he could go on without Jin's blessing, his little brat wouldn't refuse but Jin was important to Yuuji, if the boy knew they didn't have his blessing he would have a very angry wife by his side and an angry Yuuji equals 0 love and a lot of pouting.

"Teach Yuuji to use cursed energy" the curse says to himself smoking and exhaling the smoke watching as it disappears.

"With Sukuna sama's permission" from the tree down comes Choso with his arms full of chestnut.

"In the name of Mara what the fuck happened to your face?"

"Since Yuuji sama does make up Nobora sama does it also with me when I play with them, but they all wanted chestnuts."

"Ah, speak then."

"If Sukuna sama wishes to teach Yuuji may I suggest that Yuuji use his Koto or Shamisen as a weapon, Yuuji's hearing is fine, nothing ever escapes him even Toji sama could hone his senses to see curses that are not visible, coupled with his innocent air like Jin sama when offering his poisoned teas Yuuji would be his perfect partner"

While Choso explains Sukuna smokes hearing everything, it sounds quite logical what Choso said and no doubt it is the truth, after Uraume and Jin (no one is idiot enough to bother the man who can make Toji kneel down and ask for forgiveness for what he did, besides he can throw Toji at you as a weapon if his poisons are ineffective) Yuuji is the person most obeyed by everyone in the temple, with power to destroy disobedient curses and humans of his cult who wish to rise up would ensure Yuuji's future and cultivated his cursed energy his sweet brat can become a curse and both will rule for eternity or until Mara appears.

" No doubt you are right Choso, set up a meeting between the adults to love the schedules."

"Yes Sukuna sama"

"Oh and Choso?"

"Yes Sukuna sama?"

"black teeth only work on ladies, yellow on your face makes you look like a chicken and red makes you look like you ate raw meat and didn't even clean yourself well".
