Our Cursed Love (Jujutsu Kaisen fanfiction )

Chapter 17

Akana POV

As I packed the last of my belongings into a small suitcase. I couldn't believe it had come to this. I was really doing it. I was leaving Jujutsu Tech. I heard the door open behind me and turned to see Suguru standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with concern. 

"Akana, what are you doing?" He asked, his voice soft and gentle.

I didn't turn away, just kept packing, my heart heavy with emotion. I didn't respond back to him. Suguru took a step forward, his eyes searching mine. "Akana, don't do this. You're one of us. You're part of the strongest team."

I shrugged, feeling a lump form in my throat. "I used to be, But not anymore."

Suguru's face fell, his eyes filling with disappointment. "What about us?" he asked, his voice cracking. 

I turned to him slowly, feeling a pang of guilt. "You guys are all I have left," I said. "And I can't keep putting you in danger like this."

Suguru's expression changed, his eyes filling with determination. "Akana, you're not going to put anyone in danger. You're one of the strongest people I know."

I shook my head, feeling a sense of despair wash over me. "I couldn't even protect Riko and Gojo."

Suguru took another step forward, his eyes pleading. "Akana, that's not your fault. We all make mistakes sometimes."

I looked away, feeling tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "But it feels like my fault. And it feels like it's going to happen again if I stay here in Jujutsu Tech or during the new missions for the future..."

Suguru sighed, his face softening. "I understand, why you still traumatized in the past. But please don't go without talking to us first."

I turned back to him, feeling a sense of resignation wash over me. "I've already talked to myself..."

Suguru's face fell again, his eyes filling with sadness. "Akana, don't say that, You're not alone in this."

I felt a pang of guilt at that, but I knew it was true. Suguru didn't understand why I felt so broken and inadequate. For a moment we just stood there, looking at each other.

Then Suguru spoke up again. "Stay with me, Akana. We made promise that we'll figure it out together, as long as we have each other." 

"Do we... do we stay together?" I asks, my brow furrowed in concern.

Suguru's expression softens, and he reaches out to cup my cheek.

"We'll figure it out together. We'll make our own way, as long as we have each other." He says, his voice filled with reassurance.

My heart swells with emotion as Geto's words wash over him. He knows that as long as we have each other, we can face anything that comes their way.

"Promise?"

" I promise, my love."

My heart skipped a beat at that. 'If heaven is real, it is a place with the two of us... together. I remember those words back then...'

But I shook my head slowly. " Suguru, Please don't... I'm making my decision for the best."

Suguru says softly. "Listen to me, You're not a failure. You're an incredible sorcerer and I love you so much. I understand, I'll going to miss you, Akana."

As we hugged, Suguru's arms tightened around me. I felt my heart racing, my senses heightening as I gazed up at him.

And then, without warning, his lips crashed down on mine.

The kiss was fierce and urgent, our mouths moving together in a dance of passion and desperation. I felt like I was drowning in the intensity of it, like the world around us had melted away and all that was left was the two of us.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss as our tongues tangled together. Suguru's hands cupped my face, his fingers tracing the curves of my jawline as he devoured me.

Time lost all meaning as we kissed, our lips burning with an intensity that left me breathless and reeling. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before like we were two souls meant to be together, our hearts beating as one.

Finally, we pulled back, gasping for air as we stared into each other's eyes. Suguru's chest heaved with exertion, his eyes burning with passion. 

"I promise you, Akana that I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you to come back whenever you're ready." He says.

I nodded. "I promise too, Suguru. I'll come visit Jujutsu Tech with you and the others soon. But for now, I need to take care of myself first."

Suguru's expression softened with understanding. "I know, Akana. You're not alone in this. We'll be here for you whenever you're ready."

"Thank you, Suguru. Just knowing that you're here for me makes me feel a little better."

Suguru smiled and leaned in, his lips brushing against my forehead. "We'll always be here for each other, Akana," he whispered.

I knew that I had made the right decision. I needed to focus on my mental health, but I knew that Suguru and the others would be waiting for me when I was ready to return to Jujutsu Tech. And who knows, maybe someday we could even have a new beginning together.

"You take care of yourself, okay?" 

"I will. When I'm ready, I'll come back to you."

Suguru nodded, a small smile on his face. "I'll be here waiting for you. Whenever you're ready to come back. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.

And with that, we parted ways, the memory of our kiss burning bright in my mind like a beacon of hope. I felt a pang of sadness at that, but I knew it was for the best for me. 

As I walked out of the Jujutsu Tech building, I felt a sense of freedom wash over me. I was finally doing what was best for me and everyone else. But as I looked back at the building, I saw Suguru standing in the window, looking out at me with a mixture of sadness and determination. I knew that he would never understand why I had to leave.

I finally returned home to see the twins again after it's been months since I have been stayed in the hospital room for my recovery. I was greeted by the familiar sight of Mimiko and Nanako. They were playing with building blocks on the floor, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

The twins looked up at me with wide eyes, their faces lighting up with excitement. "Akana-chan is home!" they chimed in unison, scrambling up to hug me.

I wrapped my arms around them, feeling a lump form in my throat. It had been months since I'd seen them, and it was hard to believe how much they'd grown.

Mimiko and Nanako, smiling warmly as Mimiko says, her vioce filled with relief. "Welcome back, Akana, We're so glad you're finally home."

I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude wash over me. "Thank you, I've missed you all so much."

Nanako noticed that I had bandage around my parts of my body and asked. " You were sick."

 I softly smiled. "Yes, I was in the hospital for a long time. I decided to take a break from school so I could spend time with you, my children."

I feeling a pang of sadness. It was true I had been through a lot. But being home now, surrounded by these two tiny humans who loved me unconditionally, made everything worth it.

As we sat down on the floor together, building blocks scattered around us, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. This was where I belonged - surrounded by the people who loved me most.

The twins chattered excitedly about their day, telling me about their adventures at school and playing with their friends. I listened intently, feeling my heart fill with joy.

As we spent the afternoon together, I realized that even though my journey had been difficult, it had also given me a newfound appreciation for the people and things that truly mattered in life.
