63.

Song:  "Two slow dancers.""Je te laisserai des mots" or "I love me after you" I couldnt decide between all of them

Megumi's POV

From the moment I decided to be a sorcerer I knew exactly what my end would look like. I knew I would die in the same ways my ancestors have before me, so why do my hands shake as they come up. The body of Yujji is covered in the markings that haunt my sleep. I gulp before I recite what is engraved to every possessor's memory. "With this treasure I summon..." My eyes go to the fading markings that are engraved on the face I have become accustomed to. Itadori Yuji...

You always spoke of honorable deaths.

Would mine satisfy you?

Would yours?

Because yours would not be honorable, your death could never be honorable, not to anyone that knew you.

I take a few steps forward. I don't want to see him suffer; I don't want to see him at all, not like this. My lip trembles; I don't think I'll ever be able to live with what I'm about to do. I try to breathe in as I fight the need to put my hands down.

Am I about to kill my bestfriend?

My mind goes quiet after that thought passes by. I'm going to take my only friend's life?

What did we do to deserve this ending? Why couldn't things stay the same?

"Eight grip sword... divergent sila divine general." I can't help it as I look away from Yuji.

Am I capable of killing him?

Maybe I'll regret my whole life not casting it against Sukuna, but my life won't last long enough for me to care, I cannot do it....

I simply don't want to.

My eyes switch to the volcanic curse I recognize; the only sound besides my voice is the blood that drips from his arm onto the floor. Sukuna doesn't want me dead. That only makes it easier for me to finish saying the last word. "Mahoraga."

It unleashes.

As the cursed energy drains out of me I know I made the right choice. I would never die peacefully if I was the reason Yuji's life ended, not when I brought him into this and If Jogo lived... he would have taken Nobara's life.

The body materializes behind me and I react swiftly, picking up Nobara from the floor. I see the volcanic curse take a step back, but my attention is drawn back to Sukuna. For some reason, he doesn't seem as intimidating as he usually does. I'm about to turn and flee when a deafening sound fills the space, reverberating through the air with a force that shakes the floor beneath my feet. I look down to my feet, the sound that comes from underneath us makes everyone freeze, even Mahoraga stops, it's massive form frozen in anticipation, The next thud is louder, more violent, and it's enough to make me step further away. The last thud causes the floor to shatter into pieces in front of Sukuna as an object floats up. I can feel my eyes widen as I recognize its edges, the eyes that fill its surface.

It's the box.

The box hovers on the air before its surface opens in half unleashing its carnous at an overwhelming arms towards Sukuna, my eyes shift to Sukuna only to find his eyes glued to mine as his body gets engulfed in the structure.I can feel a shiver run down my spine before the box shrinks back to its original size, falling with a light thud to the floor, as if it were unimportant, as if it didn't hold the only person that has ever seen for me, the woman that I have grown attached to and now the greatest evil the world has ever seen.
