Trust Issues [Twisted Wonderland Various x Yuji!Reader]

Chapter 13

"I-It's you!" Riddle exclaimed, frightened at the reappearance of Sukuna. "Myah! Not him again!" Grim said in alarm, now they have two issues to deal with. "Why are you here?!" Ace asked, briefly gaining Sukuna's attention. "What I should've done long ago," Sukuna said with a wicked grin. In a blink of an eye, Sukuna was gone, leaving the group to deal with Leona, alone.

One might call it running, but Sukuna calls it a necessary sacrifice. If his vessel refuses to let him kill anyone here, he might as well let Leona do the job for him. Besides, he refuses to help a group of no-bodies, who continue to talk shit about him like he's worthless. "In the end, it's not my problem," Sukuna said to himself as he made his way back to the school campus.

"We shouldn't leave everyone to deal with Leona, we should help them," (Y/n) argued through their connected thoughts. "Just because I tolerate you doesn't mean I tolerate them. So far, I fail to see any reason to keep them around," Sukuna argued aloud, not caring if he looked insane. "They're our friends," (Y/n) reasoned, trying to get Sukuna to change his mind.

"I am not friends with lowlifes like them. It's baffling you call troublemakers, who bring nothing but problems, as friends," Sukuna spat, sounding annoyed. Why can't his vessel see that he's doing him a favor? How ungrateful. He doesn't care if saving random people is (Y/n)'s sense of normality. If his vessel is going to risk his life, Sukuna will be sure to put an immediate stop to it, whether (Y/n) likes it or not.

Leona let out a groan as he rubbed his head, confused, he looked around the hazy area. From what he could see, it looked like a temple of sorts, placed in a secluded area. "So is this guy really important?" (Y/n)'s voice caught Leona's attention. "Herbavor?" Leona asked in confusion. It was odd, (Y/n) looked so much more innocent, so much brighter than he is currently. Talking freely to a stranger walking next to him.

"Ryomen Sukuna, an imaginary fierce god, with four arms and two faces. But, he existed as an actual human being, although it was a thousand years ago," the blindfolded male explained. "Who is he talking about?" Leona asked, getting more confused. He never heard of a "Ryomen Sukuna" before, or ever met him. Suddenly a brief memory hit him, it was during the open ceremony for new students.

"Their magic is not of this world and not of their own, something ancient and unknown lies within them" the mirror had said when (Y/n) talked to the mirror. Surely this "Ryomen Sukuna" isn't the ancient thing that the mirror is talking about, right? "In the Golden Age of Jujutsu, sorcerers gathered all their might to challenge him, and failed," the blindfolded human continued, earning a look of surprise from Leona.

"No way... How could a human get that strong?" Leona asked, receiving no reply. "Crowned with the title of Sukuna, we couldn't even destroy his grave wax. As he traversed the ages after death as a cursed object. Without a doubt, he is the King of Curses" the blindfolded human finished explaining. This is when it dawned on Leona, why he is being shown this strange vision.

"Is my mind telling me I can never be as great as him? Or that I need to work for my title?" Leona asked, a bit irritated. The scene changed to a dark dreary place, the floor is a lake of blood and the sky is rimmed with bones. In the middle of it all is a tower of bones, and Sukuna sitting on top of it. He stared down at Leona as if the lion was a lowly peasant, perhaps even lower than that.

"Know your place, fool" Sukuna growled as he stared down at Leona, striking fear into the lion's heart. "Aside from (Y/n), I truly don't care what happens to you," Sukuna said as he let the darkness engulf him. Then, everything went black as Leona's mind started to wake up from the dream turned nightmare.
