The Zen'in Clan

Chapter Forty-One: POV

Hiiiiiii!!! I'll try to update as much as I can. This is Y/N's POV. Happy reading!😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't reached out to anyone since I left Gojo's home. I didn't want to be found. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I definitely don't want to speak to him.

"Y/N? Oh thank god I found you!" I hear. I blow out smoke. I remain silent, in the darkly lit room.

"S-Say something. Please?" He begs.

"Are you here to kill me?" I ask.

"What? No!"

"Then leave." I blow smoke again.

"Baby-"

"Why are you here?"

"Because we all miss you. I miss you." I go silent again.

"Listen, baby I was way out of line. I wasn't thinking straight. You hit my son and I thought he was dead. I couldn't process anything you were saying, much less comprehend that you were telling the truth.

I'm not trying to make up any excuses, that's all I can remember from that moment. I know that you would never hurt our son." Toji explains.

I pour myself a glass of wine. I asked random people to buy me alcohol and cigarettes. I gulp down the wine and take a long pull.

"The look in your eyes...was the same look you gave Naoki's mother when she shot me three times in the back. The same look of hatred.

I don't care that you don't believe Megumi was Sukuna's vessel. I don't care that you threatened to kill me. We say that all the time when we argue.

But this time, you meant it. So I don't know why you're here Zen'in. Or why you tracked me down."

"Can I ask you something?" I remain quiet.

"Why did you agree to that deal with Sukuna?" I finish the wine in my glass and pour another glass.

"Just because he isn't my son, doesn't mean I don't care about him. He's still an innocent human being."

"Y/N he is your son." I shake my head.

"Not according to you, to Sukuna, or anyone for that matter. His mother is dead."

"Y/N stop it. He sees you as his mother. He's worried about you. He calls you mom all the time. I haven't been home in two weeks because he said to not come back unless I bring his mother home."

"Dig up his mother's grave, cremate her, and bring her home then." Toji fell silent.

"Do you-do you not want to come home?"

"I am home. The home where I was born and raised in." I tell him.

"Y/N-this isn't your home. This is where your clan killed kids. Where your aunt kidnapped you. Where she abandoned her own son-"

"Kinda like how you abandoned Megumi?" I say oh so calmly.

"Baby...please come home. Everyone's asking about you, Naoki's looking for you and Naori keeps calling for you. They miss you like crazy, please don't abandon them."

"I didn't abandon them. Eventually I was going to get my things so I can get my own place and we can coparent."

"C-Co-parent?" I finish the cigarette.

"Yeah, that's right."

"But Y/N-" I hold one hand up to stop him from speaking. I never once looked in his direction.

"I'm not trying to cause any conflict. It's better by compromising." I hear his footsteps get closer.

"Fuck compromise. I need you home. I love you. I...hurt you, so let me make it right."

"I don't care about that anymore. I've made the biggest mistake of my life."

"No baby you didn't do anything wrong."

"I shouldn't have killed Sukuna. He made a good offer and he's a man of his word." I say.

I jump awake. I begin to shake Y/N.

"Hmm?"

"Y/N wake up."

"What, what?"

"Promise me no matter what happens, you'll never make a deal with Sukuna."

"Suk-what?"

"Promise me."

"He's dead Toji."

"Promise me."

"Okay fine I promise. I won't make a deal with a dead curse. What's gotten into you?"

"I had this weird dream. I-I saw it from your point of view and mine. Our son Megumi was Sukuna's vessel.

You knocked him out and I didn't believe you. I kicked you out and threatened to kill you if you came back." I explain.

"Baby's it's just a dream." I scramble out of bed.

"Toji what are you doing? Don't you wake up that boy." I rush out and knock on Megumi's door.

"Toji!" Y/N hiss. I knock again.

"Coming." Megumi opens the door.

"Yeah?" He yawns.

"Are you Sukuna's vessel?" I ask.

"I-Huh?"

"Are you Sukuna's vessel?" I repeat.

"Sukuna's dead dad."

"Don't mind your father. He's a little spooked from his dream that's all. Go back to bed honey." She kiss Megumi's forehead and pull me away.

"Go back to bed Zen'in." We climb into bed. She feels my head with the back of her hand.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I nod and pull her close to me.

"That dream was realistic. He wanted you to have his child. And you agreed to do it only if he lets Megumi go."

"He's dead. Okay? I'm sure your son wouldn't keep it as a secret."

"He said he didn't want to say anything because you retired."

"Do you believe Megumi right now?" She asks me.

"I trust him."

"But do you believe him?"

"No. Not until there's proof."

"If it makes you feel better I'll talk to him in the morning." I kiss her forehead. I turn on the tv.
