The temple courtyard explodes outward as you block the first flash of energy. Stone dust blinds you for half a heartbeat. When it settles, Sukuna's standing where the gate used to be, looking far too pleased.
"Good reflexes," he says, rolling a shoulder.
"I thought I'd have to wake you up slowly."
You grit your teeth. "If you wanted another fight, you didn't need to destroy the neighborhood."
"Oh, that wasn't destruction," he says, laugh low and rough. "That was foreplay."
Before you can answer, he's onto you, movement faster than thought. His strike doesn't land fully, it tests.
You parry, cursed energy screaming through the air. The ground cracks under both of you, raw power colliding.
Sukuna grins through the sparks. "Better. You're learning how to dance."
You spin and counter, the tip of your blade cutting a shallow line across his chest. For a heartbeat, shock and triumph flare together.
Blood beads, then vanishes, skin knitting itself whole again.
He looks down, amused. "Oh, you bit me."
When his eyes lift back to yours, there's heat in them that isn't entirely violent. "Keep doing that."
AU, a hundred years had passed since Sukuna had last showed himself to the world. A world where sorcerers aren't rare, most of them watered down.
True strength and power is a rare find now. So whenever one rises they're either feared and locked away, killed, or they disguise themselves hoping to not be found out.
