Bound in Blood (Maki Zenin x Male Reader)

Chapter Sixteen

(Third Person POV)

Kenjaku smiled as the two stood across from each other.  Y/N was poised to attack but seemed willing to let Kenjaku answer his question. The curse user smiled and spoke.

Kenjaku: "What do you know so far?"

Y/N: "Sukuna showed me many secrets, not only about jujutsu but also that of my ancestor Kaito. I care not he is a ruthless bastard like him, unlike him I desire only to use my power for the greater good. I want to know who the hell you are and where did my bloodline come from."

Kenjaku: "And why would you believe I know anything about that."

Y/N: "Call it a hunch. Sukuna told me about a sorcerer who could swap bodies and used said ability to survive through the ages. If anyone alive knows it's going to be you since Sukuna only knows Kaito personally."

Kenjaku: "I've met Kaito. He was dangerous, even for a sorcerer of the Heian Era. Though I will say his personality left a lot to be desired. Between him, your father, and you I would say-"

The first blood blade of the dozen Y/N had floating around him sliced past Kenjaku leaving a cut on his cheek as some of his hair fell to the ground. The ancient curse user was shocked for a moment before quickly composing himself.

Y/N: "Answer the question or the next on goes between your eyes."

The fake Geto touched his cheek and looked at the blood from his fingers, in all honesty playing with fire like this was one of his favorite pastimes . Nevertheless he decided to keep this discussion truthful.

Kenjaku: "No, I don't know any details about your family's origins besides Kaito being the bastard son of a Kamo woman. The father seemed to of disappeared entirely, whatever his cursed technique was obviously mixed with the Kamo's blood manipulation into something new. I would have loved to see it first hand."

Y/N: "Disappointing, regardless you seem to know much of his abilities and by extension my own. Who are you really?"

Kenjaku: "I am Kenjaku. I have tried many times throughout the ages to bring out humanity's potential but I have always been limited by my own abilities. My goal is to gather enough cursed energy to transform everyone into cursed energy users."

Y/N: "A lofty goal if i've ever heard one. It sounds like something Geto has dreamed of, evolving humanity into a society of only sorcerers. Though that's all it can be, a dream."

Kenjaku: "Come now, men like us are not bound by limits set my the narrow minded. Believe it or not our interest aline in the grand scheme of things. I don't want to kill you, I would rather you be free to continue your ambitions. I wish we could have more in depth conversations tonight, It's rare to meet a sorcerer who values knowledge and progress as I do."

Y/N: "You mentioned my father so you know what my next question is."

Kenjaku: "Im sure you've always known the answer to that. I'll admit I did help in my own way but If you want to know who killed your parents just ask the Higher Ups, I look forward to seeing how you shape what comes next."

Suddenly a large wall of ice enveloped Y/N, freezing him inside.

Uraume: "That will only hold him for a few minutes. He may not be on Kaito's level but you're a fool to challenge him in a one on one."

Kenjaku: "I'm surprised you didn't try to kill him."

Uraume: "Lord Sukuna forbade his servants from killing any member the L/N Clan after Kaito's death. He still has respect for that fool."

Kenjaku: "I remember you having a little more than that for him."

The Frozen Star felt their cheeks heat up from the reminder of their former lover, or the closest person like them can be to having love.
