"God damn." Sukuna roughly wiped his lips when a cut managed to get there as he found his own blood on his hand.
Greed is really hard for him to beat on, its power is fast at moving around the dark fog, and when he attacked the pinkette, it managed to hit him many times but it was only air but with enormous pressure.
Sukuna didn't figure it out yet a hundred percent, but the evil side of the king of the spirit world is a real deal of a being that is a sneaky bastard than himself.
And somehow, Sukuna was irritated that his character is the same as his own but Greed is more cunning than ever.
"Sukuna!" yelled Mazoku, to make sure if his pal is alright.
"Rest, let me handle this."
"I-I know why you can't beat him."
Sukuna rolled his eyes annoyed and unleashed his jujutsu again to look for Greed in the dark fog, "Oh shut up! I'm trying now, just watch!"
"Greed's power takes every negative energy in this world! That is his power!"
"So?" Sukuna yelled back, dodging the air pressure again so he wouldn't get hurt, because when earlier he managed to get away, it hit him right on the shoulder and he could swear his bone crack.
But the king of curse hides it well. That kind of wound is no big deal rather than not seeing you for days.
"He took each of the four ruler's power! Me, Yami Tenshi, Yosei Akemi, and Akuma Kira! We don't have our parts anymore that are appealing to be our core of life and identity!!"
Sukuna was stunned when Mazoku could solve what he's been wondering the whole time. So that's why; Yami Tenshi lost her one wing, Mazoku himself doesn't have his wolf that is always around his neck as energy itself.
He is so sure the king of fairy and queen of demons that Gojo and Utahime faced are injured and the core part of their power is stolen by Greed too.
"As I thought, I should finish you first."
Greed's awful voice suddenly was heard until it made Sukuna and Mazoku startled when the dark fog that was surrounding them now moved upwards, making a shape like a monster.
As the pinkette then was very alert when Greed was targeting his friends, "MAZOKU! YAMI TENSHI!!"
It was too late, because the both rulers were already covered by that dark fog as Sukuna used his domain expansion once more to teleport while striking Greed in the process to not do anything dangerous towards those two.
When he went where they were supposed to, he had his eyes widened when the two of them were gone.
"Now, now, don't be such a pain for those two." Greed speaks as Sukuna looks at him with his red eyes that were a pure evil one but more like a range.
"Where are they?" Sukuna asked once more.
"Pfft, are you really Ryomen Sukuna, the king of curses that I met this whole time?!"
Sukuna kept his mouth shut as Greed continued baffling on his own words.
"I thought you only cared about that filthy human being girl and now you worry about that king and queen with the rest of the spirits in this world?? Ryomen Sukuna is also known as an imaginary god, but a pure evil had that kind of emotion and tenderness?!"
Greed then laughs, laughing all the way mockingly as Sukuna once again, only stare at him in silence without any reaction.
"This is funny as hell, and here I thought you only came here to get your fingers back but I guess you did it again in the end for this world."
Sukuna didn't give a damn about his shit, not even a single one as he then prepared something behind, to strike Greed anytime now.
"Oh by the way, that one useless human whom I turned him into my underlings; Brenton is defeated."
The pinkette didn't bulge because he thinks immediately now that it means Gojo and Utahime did beat that piece of crap.
"But no wonder your only one trusty lower special grade is dead and so is the woman with black hair."
Deg.
What?
This time, a feeling of range was removed to be petrified for Sukuna, he felt it again after all those moments that you died so many times, it hunted him down again.
But the worst one is that he lost two of his best friends at the same time; Mazoku Deku and Gojo Satoru.
When Sukuna was about to utter that Greed was talking nonsense, his both red eyes squinted in horror when the dark fog surrounded in the air, showed dead bodies of Brenton, and beside was Gojo and Utahime who's hugging each other in their last moment.
Sukuna had no idea how in the hell Greed did that because those three are supposed to be in the fairy territory, that is miles away from the almighty castle.
And here are the three beings that are dead, right in front of his eyes.
"G-Goj—"
A flash memory of him and Gojo then pass by, he remembered it back again meeting him the first time in 1980, when the two casually were in Miranda's sweet shop and the white haired-man exclaiming himself that he is his follower.
Sukuna just realized he also had many memories to share with him, sixteen years being friends with him is one of the remarkable things that happened to him, what they went through altogether.
Everything.
"Whatever it takes, our memories, our time, our life we spend together since the first day one. I hope we can continue it on again where we are just ordinary beings, where we can grow together."
Gojo's last words before they parted ways ring in his ears, Sukuna had no idea his statement was a terrible foreshadowing that the bastard will go ahead on him first.
That he will achieve what he wanted all this time.
But Sukuna, as his dearest friend, cannot still accept the fact that he is gone, just like that.
He doesn't even want to acknowledge his dream and all, he just wanted Gojo to live.
= * ੈ✩‧₊˚A Little Bit Of Flashback * ੈ✩‧₊˚ =
"To be honest, the heart is a cruel thing, Sukuna." You said while raising your palm to the place where your heart was located.
You and Sukuna now are in the middle of Shibuya after you both just came from a funeral of your old friend in 1980–1985, a girl named Haibara Ruguji died because of cancer.
You were not that depressed by her sudden death but you couldn't believe it that all this time Haibara never told you that she's one of the cancer patients and she still had her high spirits to go to school, with the awful disease she brings along.
Not just that, Haibara may be the first acquaintance that really died in your reincarnation time with you still alive.
But for the past years from 1955 below, some of your acquaintances died at the same time followed by you after or even before. You still remember them all so well even the first day one you reincarnated as an orphanage, every person that encountered you in those years, you'll never forget them, ever.
"What makes you say that?" ask the pinkette as you and him are now still standing right in the middle of Shibuya street, where thousands or more people are walking from all directions but the two of you are stuck in the middle, facing each other.
"It's just not fair, when I try to think not to feel sad, I did it, but my chest hurts so bad when I resist, it's like; the feelings overwhelm me in a blink of time even though I'm not crying, the sad feeling is still there."
Sukuna looks at you in silence, he wonders if he ever thought that too, but guess he doesn't because he has no heart, he ripped it out by himself.
But ever since he met you, many unknown feelings flow in him in any kind of way, it's like he is more alive now than before.
"So what I'm trying to say is," you said but now stepped forward close to him as you grabbed his right hand to place where your heart is.
He was taken aback that he remembered you did that like in those years when you're still a kid, but now he cannot help but to close his red eyes and feel your warmth and the sound of heartbeat, that it also belongs to him like you said.
"If one day you ever felt that kind of way don't deny it, because in the end, the heart will win, whether you're a curse, I believe it's the same for all beings who live in this world. Okay Sukuna?"
= * ੈ✩‧₊˚End Of Flashback * ੈ✩‧₊˚ =
A single tear left the king of curse's eye as he then snapped back into reality to face Greed once more.
But this time, his hunch is stronger, more powerful because he senses a familiar presence coming this way.
"YOU'RE GOING TO END UP JUST LIKE THEM, RYOMEN SUKUNA!!"
"I won't." He answered as he then reached out his left arm in the air, ready to grasp something making the villain look at him a bit confused but laugh next.
"Trying to fight me again with your domain expansion?! It won't work!!"
"I've been waiting for this moment." He let out a heavy chuckle and when something was coming from the ceiling of the castle that had a hole on it ,Greed looked at it in confusion about what was going on.
Until Greed then had a bit of shook in his eyes that it was something what he thought was.
"SHIT! YOU PIECE OF–"
"Your voracity of power will not complete without consuming mine, am I right?!" Sukuna yelled.
As Greed then uses his dark forg to beat that thing that was coming here but it was too late when he heard Sukuna's just gulp something, the enemy then try to engulf the pinkette more in his dark fog, he is in a panic mode that he didn't thought his plan failed.
He thought that Yuki Onna is the one who's going to bring 'that' to him right now but instead–
"THAT FILTHY HUMAN!! SHE BEATEN YUKI ONNA OVER THE LAST FINGER?!" yelled Greed angrily as then chills ran down his spine when his dark fog suddenly swoosh away in an instant.
Now, revealing Greed's features, he's like a mix of half human and wild king lizard like a Komodo, behind those dark fog this whole time, ahead of him is the king of curses who are finally returning to his original form.
"You sure talk shit too much Greed but didn't you forget that I'm a pure evil villain as well? You bottom shit ass freeder!"
That's where behold; the true form of the true king of king curses is back once more.
= .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. =
You twitch your eyes open, immediately sit up quickly when you realize you just passed out after getting Sukuna's last finger from Yuki Onna.
You look around you, the little gasper ghost that its job to deliver the finger is not here, a sigh of relief came from your lips that you did it to send it right away to Sukuna.
Until then you felt your right wrist sting, like a buzzed feeling; you widen your eyes just remembered that the tattoo is connected with the pinkette if something goes wrong with him.
"S-Sukuna! I have to go back!!" you then slowly stood up but winced when you felt a pain on your left leg but confused next that the wound you get after against Yuki Onna is wrapped by a bandage.
"Who did this? Yuki Onna?" you mumbled and looked around once more, there's no ice woman anywhere, you had no idea if that your attack earlier really beat her up real good or she just left the post.
CLANG!
You jump a little when a sound is coming from behind you not too far, you spot like a garbage can fell down just now.
Someone is here.
"H-Hello?" you finally stood up, as you then walked wobbly towards the direction coming from.
When you're getting closer, you prepare your two coins to defend yourself, your curse energy is drained too much so you don't have the stance to fight anymore.
You prepared yourself while taking in one deep breath and then took out your coins to whoever it was, in case it attacked but it surprised you that it turns out it was some of the spirits civilians hiding in the alley, looking afraid.
"See?! I told you not to help that human!!"
"RUN! RUN!!"
"W-Wait!" you halt them but most of them already run from your sight, you yelled.
"I-I just wanted to make sure if you guys were okay!"
You dropped your five coins and raised your arm in the air, making one of them stop running to look back at you.
"I'm not an enemy, please, I won't hurt you."
The civilians then look at one another then they all then walk back to you, you look at them one by one, they are ten of them and you could tell them all are from different fairy, angel, demon, and devil territory.
"Are you guys alright?" you ask one of them when you spotted that a demon spirit had his one horn torn a bit at the edge.
"That's none of your concern!!" he answered harshly but one of his fellows hit him on the back.
"Don't be rude! This human just saved our lives, remember?!
"If it wasn't for her, we would be roasted by Yuki Onna anytime now!" added one of them.
"Um..." you try to speak as everybody looks at you. "You guys are the one who healed my wounds right? Thank you so much!"
Somehow when you showed your signature smile, all of them couldn't help but to flutter.
"It was no big deal."
"And may I know why you all are still here? I heard that everyone is supposed to evacuate somewhere else."
"We should but we've been here the whole time, although we are not sure if the rest are still here as well, it's our home anyway."
"Yeah, really evacuate? I know the four rulers are trying to save our world but they just never cut some slack for us to help them!" added from one of them.
You still cannot believe that you'll meet again with the spirit civilians once more, and you are so glad that they are okay and care for this world as much as Gojo and Sukuna do.
"So that's why human, L/n Y/n was it? The king of curses's wife?" ask a devil making you a bit blush.
"Wait, are they actually married? I heard they are only a couple with no status!!"
"Well, seeing the side of King Ryomen Sukuna on the day of the festival, I'm just assuming she is more than just a special human."
"Uhh..." you tried to interrupt, but also embarrassed that they're still going along with the gossip.
Good lord, and here I thought spirit civilians are gonna be a whole lot different than humans. You sigh but then decide to ignore them.
"I'm glad if the rest are okay, I have to go back to the castle now."
All of them suddenly went silent, making you tilt your head to the side confused. "Is something wrong?"
"Actually, have you heard about–"
DOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!
