The Cursed Spirit Who Loves Me (Jujutsu Kaisen X Male Reader)

Chapter 25 - DK and Power

DK had woken up in a void of nothing. At least, that's what it was like to begin with. As she got a better look at her surroundings, she noticed the Kronos Manor floating upside down above her. She stepped back in shock, seeing other buildings she quickly recognised. The small apartment she and Y/N lived under in England, the Arcade, was where they would reside for quite a lot of the downtime and even part of JJK High. She began to walk around in a complete daze. "What is this?"

"Don't you recognise them?" A voice echoed out, deflated. DK turned around, looking up at the upside-down Manor, her eyes widening to see Y/N standing there, not looking at her. "I thought we could be safe, happy. I was wrong."

Y/N walked into the Manor as DK quickly pursued, jumping through the front door. As she got inside, gravity morphed as she landed on the floor, although this time it wasn't the Kronos Family home; she was in the Church where she had faced off against Doran Skee with Y/N. In the exact location, they were separated. She was going down a trip down memory lane. "Y/N! Please, talk to me."

Y/N looked up at the shattered stained glass window, still with his back to DK. "It was too good to be true, wasn't it? Our little happy life. I had so much I wanted to do with you now that you were free: walks on the beach, karaoke, our first Christmas, and so much more: wishful thinking, a dream, a fantasy. If only, right?"

DK began to approach Y/N, holding her hand out. "Y/N, please... Let me help you. This is where you saved me; let me save you."

He let out a defeated sigh, looking down. "There's nothing to save; there was never a Y/N Kronos. Not really."

The floor beneath DK caved in as she fell into the dark. After a short fall, she hit the ground, struggling to stand up. Wiping her mouth, she was now in their apartment above the Coffee Shop, the very same place they had both first encountered Gojo. The TV was on static, and Y/N was sitting on the window side, staring out at the empty void. "Where are we?" DK spoke and finally decided to ask questions.

"Inside Pandora's Box. Me and you both."

"Pandora's Box? No way... I... I remember this, no wait. Yeah, I was sealed away in here 500 years ago by the current heir to the Kronos Family at the time. Cyneric."

The moment she heard that name, there was a slight tremor as some books fell off the shelf and the TV shut off. I looked over at DK, finally facing her, wiping my tears. "My ancestor and the reason I'm here. This was his whole plan, his desires. He wanted to live forever, to live in the world of his creation. But the only way to do so was to become a Cursed Spirit. Cyneric couldn't think of anything worse, so he buried a message into his Family's DNA. All of us would unintentionally be sealing away Cursed Spirits in Pandora's Box. Until there was enough to enact his plan."

"Sealing billions of Spirits? I don't get it; what does that achieve?"

"Power. It always comes down to power. Once he started the chain reaction, he sealed his soul. For 500 years, he waited for a perfect vessel to make his plan known. Me. I was never born to live a long and happy life. I was never meant to grow old with someone I loved, get married and have kids. This was always my fate, a puppet for Cyneric to consume. This is the life and death of Y/N Kronos."

DK kept approaching me before latching onto me and hugging me tightly. "Bullshit! I refuse ever to believe such lies, and you should, too. You're my Y/N, the greatest, most handsome, most heroic and brave man I have ever met. And the one I chose to fall in love with. You are more than this Cyneric ever could wish to be! I love you for who you are, not what your Family forced you to be."

My hands slowly edged up as I hugged DK back, clenching her back and squeezing tight. "DK... I'm sorry... I don't think... I don't think they'll be a happy ever after for us."
