33.

Gojo's POV

I stop dragging Itadori's collar after looking back and making sure no one is watching. Why is everything getting so tangled together? Sukuna knows something; I need to know what he knows.

"You said I could stay with them!" Itadori sulks as he adjusts his uniform. "So why are you pulling me away like that?" 

I search for Sukuna's mouth, but he is gone.

"I'm sorry, Yuji... I need to speak to it." I breathe in deeply as I ponder. Should I tell Yuji to keep it a secret from Y/n?, If sukuna is listening, would he want to tell her even more?

The mouth on his cheek spawns with a grin as Yuji's second pair of eyes open. 

"Long time no see. I wonder if it'll end the same as last time. The honored one, such a martyr," his voice is infuriatingly cocky as he smirks at me.

"Martyr?" I repeat not making sense to anything he says.

"Satoru Gojo... sadly, your past experiences don't stick through your lives."

Lives...?

"God, he is annoying. Do you want me to silence him, Mr. Gojo?" Itadori looks at his cheek with disgust, raising his hand as if Sukuna was a bug he could crush.

He seems uncomfortable with me speaking to him, but I can't let him go yet, He'll have to have patience about this.

"Sorry, Yuji. I'll make it up for you later. Sukuna... Why are you telling me this?" I address the mouth on his cheek.

"The adults are talking, Itadori Yuji," the way he speaks imitates mine, his mocking tone, the confidence he exudes. It only worries me. His mouth curves upwards, and for the first time, I fear him. "Gojo, you know how curses are made, don't you? They come from negative emotions... You can consider me your shadow. You were so high and mighty before you got split into two measly humans. Such a shame."

Before I got split... He knew me before. But when? My eyes widen as it clicks; This might not be the first time I am meeting him. If  the writtings were true, this isn't my first life. I was  a "complete" being, but then... 

Sukuna is said to have four arms in his original shape. 

Four eyes.

The thought settles as everything clicks. The worst evil. The king of curses. He is a complete being?

What does that make me?

"I will never be able to thank you enough for creating me after all," he accentuates each word.

I freeze as that comes out of his mouth. The way his smile grows makes my stomach turn.

He has to be messing with me.

"Created you?" I try to keep my voice steady in front of Yuji. I can't let him get in my head, not in front of my student. Not when he looks at me with worried eyes.

Keep calm.

You need to stay strong Satoru...

You are the strongest after all... It has to be for a reason.

"Created me, Satoru..." Sukunas eyes look at me with mischief as he speaks "Well, I'll never be able to thank you." His eyes look back to the direction Y/n is. "Are you a coward in this life too. You haven't told her?"

My jaw clenches at his words; his eyes go back to me as I try not to react. The mouth widens as he laughs, the sound resonating in my head as if it were an alarm.
