Love Is The Most Twisted Curse | Suguru Geto

Chapter 20: Kyoshiki Murasaki

Sayuri is at her home again. It's a bright sunny day. Everything is normal. She could hear the birds chirping outside. Her head hurt terribly.

"Mom." She calls after getting out of her room.

Her mother is cooking something delicious she could tell by the aura. Her mother smiled at her. But after a moment, she looked confused.

"Why are you here, Sayuri?"

"Wh-?"

"You shouldn't be here. Come on, go rescue your friends."

"But they will all die because of me." Sayuri finally said with tears in her eyes. Her mother came by her side and gave her a tight hug.

"Honey, it's not your fault."

She's crying and embracing her mother tightly.

"Father told me, they will die because of me. I'm about to ruin everything."

Suddenly her mother breaks the hug and looks directly in her eyes.

"That man is not who you think he is. You have to wake up, Sayuri."

Her eyes snapped open. She's in an unfamiliar room. Her hands and legs are tied. They probably sedated her on the way.

She thought about her friends. Are they alive? Has Shoko-san arrived yet? What did her dream actually want to tell her? She's thinking all this when suddenly, the door opens and light comes to her face directly, she squeezed her eyes.

"Did she wake up yet?" It is a female voice.

As she opens her eyes, she sees that some people are standing in front of her. With the stitches, she recognized her father; what did her mother intend to tell her about him?

"Ah! Wonderful. You woke up."

In an effort to see the other people, Sayuri tries to open her eyes as much as possible even though she is feeling a bit dozed off. She could see the green-eyed assassin named Toji. She shifts her focus to the girl and is horrified to discover who she is.

"I told you, you'll find out about your clan soon enough. Did I fulfill the promise, Azai-chan?"

It is Akiko in all her glory standing there with her sweet smile.

"You. It was you. You were the spy." Sayuri tries to say. Her voice came out weakly.

"Of course, I am."

"Why? Why did you do it?"

"Because I simply can. It is you who are the problem here, Azai-chan. Don't you see that? Your friends are dead or nearly dead because of you. I honestly don't know what Getou sees in you. He's wasting his potential by associating himself with you." She told her with a disgusted expression.

"Probably, in me, he sees more than you could ever show him." Sayuri replies coolly.

"What did you just say?"

"Shut up, Cousin. Let the man talk." Toji told her. Cousin? Is Toji also a member of the Zenin clan?

"How are you feeling, Sayuri?" Her father finally asked.

"I don't know. Horrified, bruised, hungry probably." She told him sarcastically.

"Listen girl. We don't have time for your little comments anymore. I'm asking you to join the Anti-Jujutsu Gang. You have special powers like our ancestors. We need you." He told her seriously.

"And why would I do that?"

"Why wouldn't you? The Jujutsu world took away everything from us, Sayuri. Our clan, your mother and now your friends."
