Akio stands out front of the mansion, waiting for Seiichi to come out. Five special grade sorcerers wait beside him, ready to barge through the doors.
(Y/n) sat in a corner, hugging her knees, as the wound on her neck began to itch. The cut had healed over and the curses inside her continued to multiply.
She wasn't in pain or in any discomfort, but the nauseating pain around her neck bugged her.
"Seiichi... How much longer can we keep them at bay?" Takibi asks, looking down at the scared girl in the corner of a large room.
"The sorcerers didn't take our bait, and Hina was the last cursed womb to flee. We have no back up or an escape rout." Takibi starts to panic as he watched Seiichi stand in the centre of the room. His mind going crazy with countless possibilities that could happen.
They were cornered, and the weaker sorcerers that barged through their doors, lay dead around their feet. Only Akio and the Gojo's remain.
(Y/n) couldn't use her power to escape as the wound on her neck prevented it. She was nothing but a normal human girl, scared at the thought of being captured by Akio.
It's unthinkable for me to go up against Akio and five Gojo's and come out of it alive. Seiichi thought.
Distracting them is out of the bag. Those Gojo's will see straight through any of my tricks...but it's all I got.
Seiichi turns towards (y/n) who looked up at him worried. She knew the dire situation they were in and new fighting wasn't an option, nor is running.
She perched her lips and frowns. She had been thinking about it for so long, but maybe the only way for Seiichi and Takibi to get out of this alive is to offer herself up.
I'm sorry, Seiichi.
Seiichi notices the look in her eyes and shakes his head, clenching his jaw.
"No! We're not doing it." He says sternly.
"It's the only way, Seiichi!" She yells, standing up from the corner.
"If I don't go out now, then you and Takibi will die for nothing!" She walks up to him, grabbing his hand.
"Please, Seiichi. We both know, that I'm the only one in this war to walk out alive." She continues, as tears started to fill her vision.
She was desperate for him to understand, so desperate that her teeth ached.
Seiichi places a hand on her cheek as he shook his head. He knew that already. But it was his duty and promise to protect her from any harm.
"I can't." He whispers, knowing she'll get upset.
"Seiichi! You have to! If I don't go out, then those sorcerers from the north will come in here and kill you both!" She yells, hoping to get her desperation through his thick head.
Her tears streamed down her cheeks and a burning lump holds in her throat; The feeling of loss and dread surrounding her body.
"...I can't watch that happen to you..." She whispers, clenching harder onto his arm.
"...please. I beg of you, Seiichi."
His vision begins to blur as he takes her face into his hands, wiping the tears from her eyes. He bites his lip and shakes his head.
Her heart drops seeing his expression. She steps back from him and stares at him in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, (y/n)..." He whispers.
"...I can't. They'll torture you."
"I rather be tortured then watch my best friends die in front of me!" She screams.
"Because...He loves you." Takibi whispers.
(Y/n) looks at the curse, shocked at those words.
"Wha-" She looks back at Seiichi who was facing the floor with his ears slouched.
Seiichi...loves me?
A loud bang, explodes in one of the rooms and Akio's voice echoes through the mansion.
"Hurry up, Seiichi! Make your choice!" He yells.
Seiichi frowns, turning back around at the front entrance. His eyes dart back and forth, already knowing his decision.
"Takibi! Take (y/n) out the back and wait for my signal!" He yells, acting quick as the time ticked away.
Takibi nods, grabbing the, still shocked (y/n)'s arm, dragging her away from Seiichi.
"What? What! N-no Seiichi! Don't do this! Seiichi!" Her voice drags into the other room fading further and further away.
Seiichi tried desperately to hold his tears back. Knowing he'll never see her again.
"Please...(y/n). Let me die with some pride." He whispers, waiting for Akio to nock down the large doors.
•••
While Takibi continued to drag (y/n) away from the main building, she tried clawing her way out of his grasp.
"N-NOoo! Seiichi!" She screams again, reaching for the room they left him in.
"Please, M'lady! Understand that Seiichi is doing this for you!" Takibi says, struggling to keep her in his arms.
"I don't want this! I don't want this at all!" She cries out, her strength weakening.
"Lady (y/n). Seiichi had already made up his mind! Please understand that the only person to come out of this war alive, is you." Takibi yells.
At his comment (y/n) stops struggling in his arms, and thinks about what he had said.
I'm the only one in this war to come out alive... He already decided to commit this suicide act! But then that would mean Takibi-
(Y/n) looks up at Takibi and tries to figure out their plan; however, his face began to change shape, and after a few second she was starring at herself.
"No..." She whispers, understanding what was happening.
"N-no, Takibi. No you can't do this." She grabs his face and looks at the image he had taken.
"While there's time. Find Hina and live a normal life like you're meant to." He says, his voice changing into hers.
"No, I can't. Please don't do this!" She cries.
Takibi takes her shoulders, pulling her into an embrace. Her eyes began to poor a hot liquid and her nose started to run.
Takibi places one of Seiichi's leaves on her head and slowly her body begins to vanish from sight.
"This spell won't last long, so please. Use it sparingly." Takibi says, his voice shaking.
They both stand at the back entrance, gazing at each other, both scared at what the future will hold.
"Takibi..." She wanted to say more, but knew there was no point.
She hugs him one last time, more tightly then before. Her body slowly fades from the naked eye, and she was nothing but an invisible person.
"When I open the door... you run...Okey (y/n)! You run and don't look back!" He yells, knowing she'd still have doubts.
"Okey..." she replies hanging her head.
A loud crash and explosion carry's through the mansion making Takibi react to it.
"Now!" He opens the back door that leads to a remote area of the mansion.
"Go!" He yells, watching the leaves on the ground lift.
(Y/n) runs towards the woods behind the mansion, not looking back at the sorcerers that came running around the mansion.
"She's over here!" One of them yell, looking at Takibi who looked on into the woods.
(Y/n) kept running, her breath burning from the lack of air. The woods in the distance got closer and closer as she smelt freedom for the first time in 2 years.
She skips passed the bushes and into the thick shrubs that lined them. The dried leaves of summer lifted off the forest floor as her invisible body made its way through the trees.
She jumps over logs and branches that blocked her path, but her lack of breath caught up to her. She slowed down, gasping for air.
The tears that continued to poor down her face grew hot. She couldn't hold her cries in any longer and collapses to the ground.
Her chest tightened and her breath got caught between gasping for air and gasping between her loud cries.
This was the last time she would see Seiichi and Takibi. They could be dead now and out searching for her as she thought.
No! No-hic-oo. It can't! It can't end like this! Please, please. I don't want to leave them.
She bunches over and rests her head on the ground, continuing to cry out.
Sukuna...What do I do... where are you? Please, you can't be gone too.
After many minutes of crying, she finally lifts her head and takes a deep breath. The paleness of the setting Sun darkens the forest as noon was coming to an end.
The cold breeze began to blow in, and her tears started to get cold, and snot began to dry.
She didn't want to look back, knowing they would both be dead, but they were everything to her. She couldn't run away even if they begged her.
They wouldn't kill them if I'm gone. They'll need them alive to find me. Especially Seiichi... But if I continue my life like a normal human they'll kill him for being useless.
(Y/n) looks back, unable to see the mansion. She sniffs her nose and stands up.
I can't ditch them. They're all I have. They're all I want.
She turns her heel and begins jogging back towards the mansion.
After trudging through the forest, the silhouette of the mansion came into view and more sorcerers surrounding the area.
They were all wearing black gowns and tall black hats. The Gojo's however were very distinguished from the rest. They wore black gowns and a drawing of an eye covering their face.
Their eyesight would have seen straight through Seiichi's spell. I better keep low, before they spot me among the bushes.
"Jeez, Seiichi. Thought you were smarter then this." Akio calls out, walking around two men who were crouched, surrounded by sorcerers.
Seiichi! Takibi! They're still alive!
Their bodies were covered in blood and Seiichi's white hair was drenched in red. They had their head hung, dripping with blood.
"Desperate times... *cough* You really know how to strip someone of their pride." Seiichi says with a harsh scratchy voice.
"When it comes to demons and curses like you, then frankly I don't care." Akio says, crouching in front of him.
The Sorcerer holding Seiichi, tugs his hair, pulling it back to make him look at Akio.
"I'm tired of asking this, Seiichi...Where is she?" Akio whisper in his ear.
Seiichi laughs through his nose, grinning at Akio. Takibi watches Seiichi laugh, and smirks along with him.
"What...makes you think *cough* I'll ever tell you." He laughs through the pain.
"Stop waisting your time Akio... Just kill me." He huffs.
Akio glances up at the sorcerer telling him to drop his head. The sorcerer does as he's told and releases Seiichi's hair.
"It astonishes me, how loyal you've become... The both of you...Serving a human girl. Dying for her freedom. Ahaha!" He laughs out loud, making it obvious how much of a joke it is.
Akio unsheathed his Katana, a white fabric hugging the handle.
"But... I respect how loyal you remained. Your pride was never stripped from you, Seiichi...Nor you Takibi." Akio says, bringing his blade to Seiichi's neck.
An execution! So they are going to kill them!
Akio swings his blade high with the one hand, staring down at Seiichi's neck.
"It's a pity...really." He says, before dropping the blade down.
"N-NO!" (Y/n) yells, instantly covering her mouth.
"Oh? Ahah." Akio chuckles, stopping the blade before hitting his neck.
Seiichi, Takibi and the other Sorcerers look in my direction. They couldn't see her, but a Gojo removes the paper over his eyes, appearing behind (y/n), grabbing her arm and dispelling the spell.
"No...(y/n)." Seiichi whispers.
"Why?" They both make eye contact, disappointment in his eyes. (Y/n) looks back, apologising with her eyes.
"(Y/n)? Glad you could make it in time." Akio calls out, placing his blade back into its holder.
The Gojo pushes her forward towards the crowd, holding her arm firmly.
"Oh god, please. Let her go. She's not some rag doll, yeesh." Akio says, waving his arms around.
The sorcerer releases (y/n), and she cautiously stumbles towards Akio, not leaving Seiichi's eyes.
"Your decision... M'lady?" He lends a hand out, confident in the answer he'll get.
She slowly trudges over to his side, her eyes downcast. She knew the look Seiichi and Takibi were giving her and wasn't confident enough to meet their gaze.
Before she was a few centimetres away from Akio, she grabs the blade beside him and draws it upon her neck.
The sorcerers all try to lunge forward, but Akio shouts for them to stop.
"What are you doing, (y/n)?" He says, his hands out in front to tell her she won't be harmed.
"I'm not going with you!" She shouts.
Akio sighs, dropping his hands to his side. He holds the bridge of his nose and shakes his head.
"Come on (y/n). What is this. What are you trying to achieve." He says, watching her press the blade into her neck.
"I won't leave with you, unless you set Seiichi and Takibi free!" She yells, pressing the blade harder into her neck.
"If you don't...I'll kill myself." She says.
"Ahaha, come on (y/n), be serious." He laughs. But at his comment, the blade cuts her neck, blood dripping down the blade.
"W-whoa! Okey! Okey." He says, jumping forward a bit.
"I'll do it Akio! I swear to the gods! I've gone through the toughest shit these past few years, and I will NOT hesitate!" She cries.
"Okey, okey... They're free." Akio shakes his hand towards the sorcerers holding Seiichi and Takibi up.
They slump to the floor, gaining their balance. Seiichi looks up, his eyes wide. He silently shakes his head, not wanting this to be an option.
(Y/n) looks at him, tears starting up in her eyes again. She was scared out of her mind, but she knew this was the only way to get him to leave.
"Please...Seiichi." She whispers, slowly driving the blade deeper into her neck; her face squirming at the pain.
They stare are each other, saying a thousand unspoken words to each other.
After moments of silence, he gulps the lump in his throat and takes Takibi in his arms, disappearing from their sights. (Y/n) takes a large breath of relief, throwing the katana to the side.
She falls to her knees, trying to process what had just happened.
Akio picks up the blade carefully, watching her actions. He was just as surprised as Seiichi when she said she'd kill herself.
From the look in her eyes, she would have; despite her knowing they would of still killed the two, after she had killed herself.
"Chain her up." Akio says to one of the Sorcerers.
Why are they so hell bent on sacrificing themselves for each other? This isn't the work of their bond is hit! Akio thought, watching the hopeless girl get dragged away.
He looks back down at the leaf Seiichi left behind and frowns.
Despite having her within his grasp, he felt as if this wasn't over.
Sukuna... What do you have planned, dammit...
He clenches his fists, following after the sorcerers.
Authors note
- hey lovelies, I'll be changing my wattpad name as a means to seperate my wattpad account and TikTok account (hope this doesn't effect anyone)
- I also want to mention I'll be releasing the backstory of y/n and Sukuna's life in the past as a full new story. I've only written a few chapters so it won't be available for a while, as I'm wanting to release it in one big bulk. (Knowing me, it'll take a long while, so keep an eye out)
Thank you!
Warmest Regards, Author
