We all arrived at the prison where the womb curse was growing. Gojo had given me permission to use any of my cursed energy, not that it would help any since I have forgotten how to use it. I'm basically useless.

"At present, five detainees remain in there with the curse. If this curse womb is the type that metamorphoses, we predict it will become a special-grade cursed spirit."

"Normally a sorcerer on par with the curse would be here to exorcise it, that would be Gojo-Sensei, but he's not here. We have (Y/n), but she isn't allowed to use any cursed energy." Fushiguro further explained the situation to Itadori.

"This is an abnormal case. Do not fight under any circumstances. If you encounter a special-grade, your options are to either run or die. Please just listen to your fears. Do not forget your mission here. If you run into any trouble, you will leave behind (Y/n) and she will entertain the curse so that you may all get to safety until Gojo returns."

"What does he mean entertain?" Itadori asked when Ijichi started to walk away.

"Y-you w-will all l-le-eave m-me, a-and t-the c-cur-se w-will r-r-rip me-me ap-part until m-my master gets h-here." I explained.
"What!" Itadori yelled like it was absurd. I'll admit, I never was a fan of that part of the plan either but it's not like I'll die, I can't die.

We start to walk into the building. I was lagging behind as I keep tripping over little juts in the uneven path, and even over a small step up that I didn't know about. Finally someone comes to help me.

"Sorry about that (Y/n)." It was Itadori: "You can hold onto my arm, I'll help you." He started walking with me, this time I wasn't tripping as much but I still stubbed my toes a couple of times.

Fushiguro summoned his demon dogs as we made it to the door. We hurried inside and Fushiguro stopped us.

"What is this?" Itadori sounded confused and amazed. We are in a domain, I could feel it. That would be why he's confused. After all, I don't think a prison dorm would be too cool.
"Where's the door?" Fushiguro shouted.
"Huh? It's gone." Itadori said.

Nobara and Itadori started calmly panicking, if that's even a thing. Until Fushiguro told them not to worry and that the dog knew the scent of the door.

We continued walking for a while, following a winding path of metal. I could smell the stench of a dead body, three of them actually. The others found the body and Itadori suggested bringing one back.

"Don't be silly, we still have two more bodies to account for. Let's go."
"What are you talking about? We came in and the door disappeared, if we leave, we'll never be able to come back for the body."
"I never said come back for it! I said leave it behind!"

I could hear their voices escalating and some violent movements. I assumed they were roughing each other up a bit to try and change the other's mind.

Nobara started yelling at the two of them. God, they're all idiots. There's no way the curse doesn't know where we're at, and if it didn't, then it knows now with all the noise they're making.

Suddenly Nobara stopped talking, I tilted my head to the side a bit, wondering why it was such a sudden stop.

"Itadori! We're running! Well search for Kugisaki later!"

I heard a slicing and then a splattering of blood then something metal clanged a few feet away.

"Hey Sukuna. If I die, you die too right? If you don't want that, then help me out." Itadori said.

That's not how it works young one, you haven't made a contract, he doesn't have to do anything you say. But I am curious, what happened to him that he thinks he's going to die?

"Nope." Sukuna laughed. "Even if the parts of me inside you die, there are still 18 other fragments of my soul. Still, irritatingly enough, I don't have control of this body. If you want to switch, then switch. But before you do, I'll kill that brat before the cursed spirit can. Then I'll go for that woman. I'll have fun taking her apart. Then I'll be taking back my wife, fixing whatever you did to her."

"I'm not going to let you do that." Itadori said.

"If you're too focused on me, your friends are going to die." Sukuna chuckled.

"Fushiguro! Take Kugisaki and (Y/n) and get out of here!"
"N-no. I-I must s-stay."
"Once you guys are out, give me some kind of signal. Then I'll- I'll switch with Sukuna."

Fushiguro protested, but Itadori got him to go.

"(Y/n)! You need to go too!"
"N-no! I-I'm st-staying."
"(Y/n)! Go, please!"
"The lady said she's staying, brat"

A blast of cursed energy was suddenly shot at us both. My body absorbed the energy while Itadori was knocked way back. We were blasted through the wall and into another room. The only difference being I had no injuries from the curse's power and i could smell that Itadori was bleeding.

I felt a huge blast of cursed energy coming towards us and I jumped in front of Itadori to absorb it, but right as it started it hit me, he pulled me away from it.

He and I were both blasted back into the wall behind us. I took most of the hit because I was behind him but he was probably in a lot more pain then I was. My ears were ringing from the crash.

I felt Itadori get up and I didn't know what happened next but my hearing returned to me. All I heard was a howl and the atmosphere completely changed. That must have been the signal.

"What a thoroughly annoying brat. He's obviously screwing with me. Hold on a moment, I have better things to do."

I got up and started to walk towards the direction his voice was coming.

"Kuna?" I tripped on a larger rock and fell to my knees, but I quickly got back up and continued going to where I thought he was.

"Darling. I'm going to need you to answer me this time. What have they done to you?" His words weren't harsh, they were more thoughtful.

"T-they bo-bound my b-body to-to the G-Gojo cla-n."

"I figured that part out on my own. I meant what have they done to you?"
"Umm..." I was stuck for an answer because that was what they did to me, they bound me to them.

He sighed and clicked his tongue at my lack of understanding.

"Disrobe."
"K-Kuna..."
"Disrobe."

I felt my breathing shallow as I untied the band holding the kimono onto my body. I let it fall from my shoulders, leaving me in the shorter, thinner, plain white under dress.

"Take that off too."

I didn't hesitate this time as I took off the small white fabric that covered my body from his eyes. His hand brushed against my ribs where two of the bones were missing, not filling out my body like they were supposed to. His fingertips traveled up to a branding below my breast. Finally his fingers found the part that I didn't want him to find.

His fingers traced the grooves that wrapped around the top of my shoulders.

"Turn around."
"Umm... n-no."
"Turn. Around."
"S-Sukuna."
"Now."

I slowly turned so that he could see my back. He breathed in sharply. What did he think? Did my back look as bad as I thought it was going to look.

His fingers ran along grooves in my back, tracing the larger patches of skin that were ripped out by the thorned whip.

"I'm gonna make it better." He pulled my back against his chest and I felt warm, like everything was perfect.

"I-I w-wanna s-see you."
"Heal yourself."
"I-I can't."
"You keep saying that, but I don't know what you mean."
"I... I d-don't re-remember how."

He was silent. His hand slowly ghosted over my body in different places, always over a scar. Finally his hand hovered over my eyes. I opened them and everything was beyond blurry, but I could still see something.
"I don't have enough power to heal you any further yet."

Suddenly, he was slipping my under robe back onto my body. He helped me secure it before he put the kimono on me. Before he could tie it shut I stop him.

"K-Kuna. I-I on-ly m-managed t-to get you o-one f-fing-ger." I reached into my chest and pulled out the finger with the pointy nail.

He cackled and then grabbed my face and pulled me in for a kiss. I kissed him back just as passionately, like I hadn't seen him in years. Which I hadn't.

"Let's go kill some kids darling."
