Mirrors • Sukuna x Reader

Hi Mom...

The rest of the day I spent it contemplating all my life choices. I always knew Sukuna was bad news in one way or another but now the off chance I'd have to marry him for the sake of power?

Are you kidding me!?

I continued to plague my mind as I sat in a booth in a corner, away from civilization. My head on the table watching the condensation of the water slowly drip off the cup.

In front of me, Yuuji was looking at me with a worried expression but a smile on his face while Megumi and Nobara stared at me with bored expressions "Whats wrong—?" He asked.

I didn't respond, thankfully Megumi did. "The Zenins' are planning to marry someone off and she happens to be a likely victim." He shrugged before he took a drink of his cup. I looked back up and glared at no one in particular.

Way to put it lightly.

"I don't understand why? Why can't we just take the drama and leave everyone alone." I groaned. I knew the Zenins' were a proud family but this was too much...out of nowhere I heard Nobara hum before breathing out.

"As far as I've always heard, the Zenin's have a reputation, even a single bad comment can knock you guys a peg. Well not you Y/n but you know what I mean."

I nodded. I wasn't offended, if anything I agreed. The Zenin's always worried more over the opinion of others rather than the family. The only family that mattered was the main one, meaning that Megumi, Maki & Mai and I weren't all the hype.

I felt the anxiousness begin to seep out of me as I realized that if anyone was going to be married it would be the "future" head of the family. Naoya...and while the particular family of interest was the Itadori, it wasn't likely, since they didn't have good ties with each other. Plus that Sukuna would very much rather throw himself and his newborn child off a cliff than marry someone from the Zenin Clan.

I let out a little sigh of relief as the realization began to be clearer. "You're right, they wouldn't put someone less important to the family on the spotlight."

Megumi nodded and gave me a smile. "We'll be fine. Neither you or me will be chosen. As bastard children we are pretty much safe."

I didn't like the term bastards...but it was true. Megumi's father had been kicked to the curb for marrying and having a child with someone not chosen by the family. When Megumi's mother gave birth to him the whole family took the name Fushiguro, not Zenin I believe it was mostly out of spite, but Toji truly did love the woman, I couldn't put it past him that he did it for both reasons.

In my case, my father had been with my mother for a good time before having me, my mother also not a woman chosen by the Zenin, had always had a snarky attitude along with a determination granted by the Gods themselves. Unfortunately, after my birth my mother became bed ridden with an illness, and then on my 10th birthday she fell into a coma.

Which reminded me...I hadn't visited her in a while...maybe I should do that soon.

The thoughts in my mind made me drift from the currently reality. It wasn't until small echos of my name that I began to realize how deep in thought I was. Looking up Yuuji let out a sigh of relief before shaking his head. "You okay in there?"

I blinked my eyes a bit before nodding and giving him a comforting smile. "I'm fine, sorry, I got lost in thought." I sighed. He didn't push for more answers and smiled.

"Alright then, now let's order something to eat."

-

After we ordered and got everything, everyone was pretty much ready to head home. I finished packing up my leftovers and got ready to leave before I paused. Maybe I should pay my mother a visit.

Walking out of the restaurant I spotted a flower shop across the road. Making my way down my eyes travelled over the rows of flowers and landed on a beautiful arrangement of Iris' and chrysanthemums. Two flowers that symbolized Hope and Good Health, something my mother really could use.

I paid for the bouquet and began my walk towards the care facility. She had been integrated there a while now, and it honestly made me sad that she couldn't be at home with my father and I.

Kicking pebbles as I made my way down the road, the care facility came into view and I let out a deep breath. The doors slide open and the receptionist looked up from her computer.

"Oh Hello Ms. Zenin! It's been awhile!" The nurse said giving me a gentle smile. "Hi, yeah I'm sorry...life has been a little hectic lately...is she..?"

I let my words wonder off as the nurse stood up and nodded. "Of course, she'll be happy to know you are here."

I walked behind her in silence as I spotted the familiar room. The nurse knocked and opened the door before beckoning me in.

Stepping inside I noticed the beautifully decorated room, filled with a lot of my mom's favorite flowers and a couple other things, clearly my father had been here before me.

Noticing her figure lying in the bed, I felt the same knot in my throat, as I always did whenever I saw her. Sure I didn't have much of a life with her other than my first 10 years but even then it was enough to wish she was here now.

"Hi mom..."
