Show me (Ryomen Sukuna x Reader)

Incredible ~ Ch95

3rd Point Of View

"Yanfei! How are you doing?!" Sukuna asked as he walked into the room- an inn he'd bought at the borders of Japan for his curse users to stay in as they journeyed from Japan to China. "Tell me, have my curse users treated you well?" A chaotic grin spread across Sukuna's lips as he walked closer to Yanfei who had once again during his capture been rendered bloody and blue, pushed onto his knees, forced to stare up at Sukuna with battered and exhausted eyes.

To his left, a curse user took to task upon themselves to translate Lord Sukuna's words to Yanfei, speaking in a fluent mandarin.
"I don't understand what's going on! (Y/n) said I could go back home! Why am I still here?!" Yanfei yelled with fear, fighting against his restraints as he spoke. A curse user translated his words to Sukuna, making the four-armed man laugh.
"She did say that, didn't she? Well, I'm afraid plans have changed. Sadly, you'll not be making it home." Sukuna told the man, making Yanfei whimper when a curse user relayed the information to him.

"B-But you said you'd let me live?" Yanfei stammered with fear, tears welling up in his eyes. A curse user wasted no time in translating his words, making Sukuna's lips turn up, a psychotic grin on his face.
"(Y/n) said she let you live- me, however? I made no such promise." Sukuna grinned, taking a step closer to the man as someone translated his words. Yanfei's eyes widened in horror, reality settling in- making him realise that he really was going to die.
"You're going to kill me..." He whispered in realisation, a curse user translating him words with an amused huff.

"Indeed, I am." Sukuna chuckled as he squatted tauntingly in front of the man. "Did you really think I'd let anyone who's been inside my woman live?" Before the curse user could even translate, Sukuna made his move, reaching forward and shoving his hand through the ambassador's chest.
"I should warn you that I've been itching to do this for a very long time." Sukuna seethed as the man gasped, gurgles forming at his lips as blood began dripping down his chin. With ease, Sukuna found the man's heart before yanking it out of his body. For a few seconds, the man flailed on the floor like a fish before the light finally drained out of his eyes and he went limb by Sukuna's feet. Sukuna let out a relieved sigh as he dropped the man's heart on top of his body, it making an awful squelching sound as it hit his skin.

"That felt incredible." Sukuna sighed as he stood to his feet. "It really is true that an action feels better once you deprive yourself of it for a while."
"I let him off easy in my opinion." Sukuna mumbled as he stared down at the body with a bored look.
"I agree, my Lord." A curse user agreed, the other feeling obligated to join in or offer a simple nod. Sukuna's eyes snapped at the man with a dark glare, sneering at him with a disgusted look.
"I didn't ask to hear your opinion, you imbecile." Sukuna snapped, making the man gulp before bowing his head, rightfully deciding not to comment any further.

Sukuna then snapped his fingers, turning Yanfei's body into a pile of ash- leaving no evidence of his murder that someone could trace back to him.
"Since you fools are my only witnesses to this kill, I'll know who to torture if any word of this gets back to your queen. Do you understand me?" Sukuna glared, his time serious and his voice threatening. (Y/n) will never be finding out about this.
"Yes, Sir." They all replied in unison, kneeling before Sukuna to show their allegiance.
"Good." Sukuna hummed. "Now that that's sorted, I want to start focusing on locating those paintings."

"I want you all to split into groups of five- first, we'll visit all the villages who practice Jujutsu. Then we'll move our way up through Japan." Sukuna ordered, "Although... I already have my guesses one who took them." Sukuna emitted with a sigh as he adjusted the ties of his kimono which had gotten loose.
"Who would that be, My lord?" A curse user asked.
"That Kamo sorcerer that visited us- he mentioned their existence. Other than me and (Y/n), he seems to be the only other person who knows the dark truth behind those paintings." Sukuna muttered bitterly.
"Then...forgive me, lord...but why aren't we just storming into the Kamo clan's territory." One asked, making Sukuna roll his eyes.

"Because I have reason to believe that he isn't working with his family- and that he's not foolish enough to hide such valuable items on Kamo grounds. He'd want to hide them somewhere remote- unthinkable. So we'll start with the villages- then move to sorcerer clan territories." Sukuna explained To them, "And by that point, we'd probably have started a full blow-out war." His last words seemed to have installed fear into the curse users eyes- war being something so far reached.
"Are these paintings...are they really worth starting a war?" A curse user asked. Sukuna answered his question by turning the man into ash with the snap of his fingers.

"Anybody else feel like asking stupid questions?"
