❥"You did it. Im impressed. Though you would be nothing without that foresight of yours."
Sukuna stopped attacking me after ten seconds as promised, a smile still plastered on his lips.
"You have no attacks up your sleeves, that is disappointing."
"I want peace remember. I have no need to have offensive techniques."
I wiped the blood from a cut on my cheek, one of his dismantles grazed the side of my face before I could fully clear it.
Something inside of me felt like he was going easy though. Remembering how Nanami, Satoru, and Megumi were on the day of his restoration...
"Rabbit."
He was right in front of me, I zoned out again, I need to pay closer attention...
"Sukuna."

"After this month of our little deal, you are the first one I am coming after. I will tear you into pretty little pieces and have you cooked and fed to me."
"I can't wait. Until then, we will be friends!"
His evil smile turned into shock,
"What-?"
"You heard me. You are the king of curses and I am a friend of them, there has never been an enemy I couldn't tame! You are my biggest feat!"
His eyes were wide, though he relaxed his features in amusement.
"You are appalling and difficult."
"You will get used to it, Ryōmen~"
His eyebrows raised, I just stick my tongue out and start walking backwards, waving Satoru down to me.
He landed behind me and hugged me around my stomach from behind.
"You better keep your promise!"

"You trifling rabbit...of course I will."
Satoru had put a circle around us and in a few moments, we were back in his office.
"You are crazy, you know that?"
Satoru laughed, spinning me around.
"You were the one who took me there and told me to talk to him!"
"I would have taken you back if you told me to!"
"You could have told me that instead of putting it in the fine print! Anyway, everyone has a month long grace period when it comes to Ryōmen Sukuna now. The higher ups can tell me they are welcome by shutting up about my dream. I just did the impossible."
"That you did."
Satoru was so proud, seeing it in his smile as he rubbed our noses together, eskimo kisses were the sweetest reward.
"Don't tell Megumi though. He will kill me for putting you in that situation."

"He will hear from everyone else though once you let the higher ups know."
Satoru sighed,
"I guess so. Are you still mad at him or are you going back home tonight?"
"Im not mad at him anymore, but I'm staying with you still."
He nods, leaning out of my face and putting an arm around my shoulders, we stroll out and start heading back to Satoru's apartment.
"Nanami is coming over for a drink tonight, he will be happy about your achievement. You sure are special. It is a little intimidating."
"Intimidating? Since when is morality scary?"
"It's scary to a sorcerer. You are too pure for this world, it is unfair to you."
We get to his apartment, I slide my keycard because Satoru was taking too long to find his.
Nanami was already there.

"Heard you got into it with Megumi...Is that cut from him?"
I shake my head, though Nanami takes my chin and smooths a thumb over the line that is already almost fully healed.
"You know Megumi isn't physical."
I giggle at his concern.
"I fought Sukuna today!"
He looks up at Satoru instantly, I see his aura move to go grab Satoru by his neck but I cling to Nanami's arm,
"Nanami. You need to listen to the full story."
"I don't care about the full story. That is the most dangerous situation anyone could ever put you in."
"Nanami, you know Satoru would never let me get hurt."

"But he did."
Satoru just kept silent, I didn't know if his silence was helping or not...
"Because of me, Sukuna is not going to kill anyone for a month unless they come after him with malicious intent. Nanami, if I had became a sorcerer when I was supposed to, I would have had to face him anyway-hells, even now I don't think there is any universe that I don't come in contact with him. At least this situation was controlled."
Nanami pulled his tie down a bit, I felt the muscles in his arm relax again and was confident in letting him go.
"She did phenomenally Nanami. She even got away with calling him by his first name."
"How?"
"He cant hurt me unless I try to hurt him for a month! Nanami this is so huge!"
"It is."

He finally smiles at me, rubbing my head with a large gentle hand.
"I am proud of you."
"Thank you!"
I never felt more proud of myself.
"I need a drink. Where is your liquor?"
Nanami wondered iff to Satoru's kitchen, Satoru following by after him, patting my head too.
"In the cabinet under the glasses!"
I look down at my phone and see a text from Megumi apologizing again, I decide to call him, leaning on the apartment door.
"Megumi."
"Ilya, I am so sorry about the way I treat you. You are such a pure soul, it scares me."
"Megumi, use me as a punching bag all you want, I will always be here with you at the end of the day."

In his silence, I could hear him whisper "but you arent..", my chest wrenched with guilt.
"Megumi, we are drinking at Satoru's tonight, come hang out with us?"
"Satoru is a headache drunk..."
"Come, I have some news to share with you."
He was quiet again,
I could tell he was worried I had become a sorcerer.
No.
I did something worse in his eyes, I knew maybe he would start another fight, but maybe he wouldn't...
"I'm okay Megumi, I always will be."
"I'm on my way..."
"Okay."
And we hung up.
