World's Intertwined || Sukuna

Chapter Twenty-Six: Dodgeball

You, Nobara, and Yuji enter Megumi's room where he's resting with three boxes of pizza. "Hey Megumi how ya feeling?" you asked, walking to his beside. Megumi grunts and sits up as the three of you pull up a chair next to his bedside. 

"A lot better," he answers. 

"We brought food!" Yuji said, cheerfully and places the boxes on Megumi's lap. Nobara flips the box open and you both smell the heavenly scent and sigh in content. "Pizza," you moan in delight and grab a slice. 

You eat the delicious meal, in your little world until you were nudged. You look to see Megumi nudging you. "We're talking to you, but you're ignoring us. Why the hell are flowers dancing around you?" 

"That normally happens when Nanami is around," Yuji mutters, his mouth full of pizza.

"My bad fam, what was it you said?"

"I asked if you and Sukuna are really going to get married?" Nobara spoke up.

"Where did you hear that?" you asked, shocked. Yuji raises his hand. "That giant tree curse thing kept calling you Sukuna's bride." Of course, Hanami would call you that. You look at the pizza slice in your hands and shrug. "I mean eventually, not right now. The guy is so impatient, but he said a man knows when a woman is supposed to be his wife."

"But I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt, Fushiguro," Yuji said, turning to him and smiling. "You're able to eat pizza now, too." 

"Come on, bring me something easier to digest," Megumi grunts.

"No complaining," Nobara said, enjoying her slice.

"Apparently, I got off easier because my cursed energy was all dried up. Ieiri-san was still able to fix me up as soon as the roots were removed." You cringed in pain at the thought of roots being embedded in his stomach. That shit would be painful as hell. 

"Itadori." 

Yuji stops the pizza mid-air before he could take a bite. "You've grown stronger," Megumi states. "Back then, we both said our convictions were proper ones. I still think that's true. Or, put another way, we're both wrong."

"Huh?"

"Some questions don't have answers, you know," Nobara cuts in. "You're thinking too hard. You'll go bald." You snort when she said that and grab another slice of pizza. "She's right, there's no set path in life, no correct answers," you cut in. "We do what we do because it's what we believe in."

"That's right. There's no answer. It's just whether or not you can accept it. But there's no accepting anything if you can't have it your way. Weak sorcerers can't do that. So I'm going to become strong, too. I'll surpass you in no time."

Yuji's eyes widen before he chuckles. "You never change," he said, smiling.
