65.

Sukuna's POV

The mere thought of becoming permanently encaged in the body of a pathetic child made me believe that perhaps the scales had started weighing against me. The sound of my breathing is distressed, almost erratic as my eyes become welded to Megumi. The cold sweat on my forehead stings as it drips into my eyes while the box opens in front of me... I am astonished that I ever fanthomed the idea of losing.

I can feel myself smile. As always, the universe tilts in my favor.

The fortune of existing in the same era as a wielder of the Ten Shadows Technique, a wielder who seems detached from the idea of living: Megumi Fushiguro. As the box entraps me, all I can see in my mind are his eyes. The way they looked as his hands came up replays in my brain, a shiver of electricity traveling from my pupils down my limbs. His mind did not waver when signing his own death sentence. That's what I need—someone willing to let their physical existence go as if it was their purpose from the very beginning.

Megumi looks at me with fear and confusion before the box seals around me, my eyes try to adapt to the dark around me, immediately the tight feeling in my chest is gone, my breathing finally stabilizes as I look around me, there is a wall behind me and a dark abyss fills the rest of my surroundings. I widen my stance and the box seems to shake under my feet, the eyes that were imprinted on the outside can be seen from the inside all around me.

Blue, red, purple...

As I see the colors everything clicks.

The reason why I was weakened... It is the only explanation, I was created by his soul, the purple eyes tell me all I need to know, she is here, the six eyed freak too, it made my soul incomplete.

"Come out, come out wherever you are!" I scream into the abyss, I stay still as I wait for a response only to be met with silence. I am about to take a step forward when the box violently shakes again, all the eyes turning to see me as they grow. I look around to find the red eyes begin to vibrateThe blue and purple eyes move towards me and I feel intimidated as they stare at me while mine seem to gauge from their sockets.

The box is rejecting me.

Am I too strong to be contained by this box?

No... this box could withstand anything, it sees me as an intruder.

I look back down to find their silhouettes walking towards me, the moment I move the box reacts to my actions, the floor shaking under my feet.

"Don't even try to use your cursed energy... Its useless." Y/n speaks. My eyes dart to her as she comes closer, I can feel my eyes widen as I notice the blindfold on her eyes, the blood on her clothes, on the corner of her mouth...

On the corner of her mouth?

I look down to see her clothes are perfectly fine.

"That is your blood isn't it?" I ask as I sniff her way, the familiar smell takes me back.

I feel my jaw tense as Gojo stands in front of her before speaking "Did he sent you here?" He asks and I try to stop my face from looking confused.

"I knocked..." I answer trying not to move as I look up at the eyes around us. I need information before I get expelled from this cube. "So you think he sent me here? You underestimate me" I look back down at him with a fake cocky smile. "I am the ruler, I don't get sent anywhere..." I focus on his expression, trying to see if he bought my bluff.

"You did this to me?" her voice sounds hoarse as she appears from behind him, her mouth twitching involuntarily. I have no idea what she is talking about, the blindfold on her only confuses me more. "I should have known." Her eyes betray her fear.

I need to keep making them believe they are under my foot.

"I told you you could not escape your faith... I am the only right answer. If you kill him I might consider sparing your life..." I speak my mind hoping it will fit whatever they are talking about.

"Was it your voice that commanded her then?" Gojo asks. "You thought if you commanded her to kill me she would..."

I can feel my lips curl up.

Is this what the kids discussed... Her vow, the commands she was under are still here, if it was killing her before she came in then they are paused by the box.

I laugh, taking in their baffled and disgusted expressions. "I will break open this box, you will be met with so many surprises when I do. Her vow will activate again and I kill her."

"I'll stop you."

"Oh but there is so much to do out there... Will you be able to?" I begin to call on my cursed energy, fire extending on my hand making their eyes widen. I curse at the way the box suppresses my flames but I don't stop as I feel the box heat up, the red eyes turn white before it happens.

"It will break open." She mutters under her breath.

"Y/n... once it opens you need to run." He looks towards her. "Run... Kill the curse on Suguru's body... Ill take care of him but you need to run."

I'll make him choose between Megumi or Y/n.

oh how lovely.

It breaks open.
