Prologue

The Future Bride (aka you) 

The sound of glass should have been more concerning than the way he breathed as he looked over at the attorney who was hesitating to speak with every letter he read. 

"It is written that you, Ryomen Sukuna, must be wed before you have any right to your inheritance. You must demonstrate patience, kindness, responsibility, and love. When your wife or husband of choosing can admit those feelings back you will have freedom to open the chamber hidden within the catacombs of the estate." 

I glanced over and remained quiet as I watched Sukuna's expression darken. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" He muttered, with swift movement he stood up and left the room. I could understand his frustration I felt tempted to say something but as a family friend I had no right to say anything. The attorney cleared his throat and nervously looked over to me. 

"Y/n, to you I leave behind the 4 keys necessary to enter the catacombs. When Ryomen's wife or husband can express to you that he has demonstrated such emotions then can you aid them to find what is rightfully his. Until then keep them safe."

My mouth was wide open as I listened to him speak. "Me-?" I asked still confused. I knew Mr. Itadori...Sukuna's father, due to my father being good friends. But for me to be in possession of such a valuable item felt...wrong?

The attorney nodded and gave me a reassuring smile. "He knew you were to be trusted. If I were you, I'd feel honored. Then again, I already do feel honored for being able to aid a good man with his world belongings." I sighed and smiled as he handed me a small box. "I trust you have other places to be now. You have a good day."

He stood up and shook my hand before packing up and leaving the conference room. I had to admit I didn't think I was the most suitable for this. But Mr. Itadori trusted me, so I had to trust that this was for the best. Walking out of the room I felt someone's gaze on me. Glancing over I saw Sukuna watching me close, his eyes still not derived of anger. He didn't say anything as he turned and walked away. 

"Shit." 

~ Sukuna Pov ~

I felt the glass break in my hand as the attorney read out my father's inheritance will. What the fuck did he mean by marriage? Why the hell did I need to be married to get what is rightfully mine? The broken glass cutting into my hand did little to distract me from the anger. 

As he continued, I only felt the rage build up further. I always knew my father was a stubborn man and always made my life a living hell, but I didn't expect him to full on deny me the right to my inheritance. I gritted my teeth and shifted in my seat. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I mumbled. 

I held my tongue a while longer before eventually leaving the room all together. Standing outside of the doors I scoffed and stared at the portrait in front of me. "Stupid old man, your dead and you still make my life difficult."

I could hear the chairs in the room shifting tracking my attention back to what the attorney was saying. "He knew you were to be trusted, if I were you, I'd feel honored." Curiosity got the best of me, and I opened the door slightly to see Y/n and the attorney. He handed her a small box and told her to keep it safe. Knowing my father that box likely contained the keys I needed. 

Y/n was rather weak, it wouldn't be difficult to snag the keys from her. Even as children I always had the upper hand. This was no different. All I needed was to grab her attention and take them when she wasn't looking. I felt a smirk grow on my face as I realized how easy this was going to be. I backed away from the door and began to walk off before the conference door opened and the lawyer walked out. He gave me a small head bow before leaving. 

Glancing back, I saw her step out of the room. I watched her carefully. She looked back at me with a confused expression but nothing else. I sighed and turned to leave. I always forgot how she had that gaze that locked me in. Even back then. 

~ You ~ 

I looked over the box and sighed as I noticed the notch on the top. There was definitely another key which if I had to guess was something Sukuna already had in possession. So...

5 keys in total

1, to open the box.

1, to open the door to the catacombs

1, to open the gates

1, to open the main door

and 1 to a room which contained something very valuable. Whatever that was, it was most likely very important. I thought to myself as I walked out of the courthouse and chuckled. 

In all honesty I could never see how Sukuna would ever manage to actually get ahold of these. If I knew anything while growing up with him, is that he was as stubborn as a mule and as complicated as a stormy sea. He had always been determined and cruel in every way, while I fell victim to his many jokes and pranks. I could admit that he had always been stronger than me in many ways, whether it was in sports, music, or even cooking. Somehow, he always one-upped me. 

But I had my own fruitions, and I was not about to let him fool me. I know he'll be after me now. Especially since I will never give them up willingly. He will do what it takes and that makes me a little anxious. Walking down the steps I glanced around and located my father's car. I walked over and once inside I let out a sigh placing the box into my bag. The driver looked into the review mirror and smiled gently before speaking.

"Afternoon Miss Zenin. Where to?"
