Witch's Requiem || Sukuna x OC

"Any last words?"

The woman's expression remained numb as she stared silently at the cold dirt ground.

With the lack of response from her, the man standing before said woman furrowed his brows. "That's too bad. Had you cooperated with us, we may have spared your life." He muttered in an oddly soft tone, one that greatly contrasted with the maiden's treatment.

Turning around, he raised the gohei in his hand to the crowd gathered around them, the two white tassels hanging from it swinging along with the motion. This seems to draw their attention as everyone quieted down, watching in an anticipated silence with their eyes glued to the ritual stick.

Drawing the gohei across his body, a strong aura surrounded the man before blue energy suddenly engulfed the end of the bamboo wand. With a determined look, he thrusted the stick forward toward the woman, the energy leaping off the ritual instrument and onto her, spreading through her body.

"This is your punishment for consolidating with the King of Curses."

It danced around her like azure flames, consuming her flesh and her very soul, and the sensation of it wasn't too far from fire, either. Tied up against a stake, her tired, glossy eyes merely followed the flicker of the cursed energy, before she lifted her head and gazed up at the night sky.

Something about the moon and the stars welled tears in her eyes as the pain finally got to her.

Her screams echoed through the night.

...

"Love? Don't make me laugh. You, of all people, should know that Curses don't experience such thing."
