Shikura & The Heian Era

The Pilots

**10 Years Later**
Shikura, about to turn 19 in a few minutes, was waiting for his friend on the side of the road, on a rainy day, lighting up his fourth cigar when suddenly, he heard screaming and explosions from a far distance. He went to investigate as per his curiosity. When he got close to the explosions, he noticed how they were mainly coming out of the old book store he usually visited for sorcery knowledge, "Saint. Sorlod's".  After taking a good look at the scene, he realized that he was in the presence of a sorcerer of some kind. He was hesitant but he couldn't control himself from going in as it was his all-time dream to look at someone using such power. When he entered the store, he saw two sorcerers fighting. One had no hair and a small beard, the other was having multiple arms, eyes under his actual eyes, and power he could only imagine having- with an instant shock he shouted "OH MY GOD, RYOMEN SUKUNA!". He had realized this wasn't any ordinary sorcerer, this was Sukuna himself. His heart was pounding fast, before he knew it, Sukuna was charging up an attack to kill him. He knew Sukuna didn't care for anyone but he never thought he was THIS heartless. He ran as fast as possible and the sorcerer he was fighting, Sunjoku Karoman, stopped Sukuna from attacking Shikura. Shikura managed to escape the store and find his friend but he had two unexpected things waiting between them, Cursed Spirits, "CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE", Shikura's friend, Yuka, managed to have turn his car, in such a way, he caught the spirits off-guard and ran them over, he thought it was the end for them, but his car did nothing but get damaged and knock them back a bit. Shikura still managed to enter the car and they drove away. They returned back to their house. The entire night, Shikura wasn't able to sleep, thinking about what happened again and again.
