"Don't you mean you'll exorcise me, jujutsu sorcerer!?" Mahito asked mockingly. He licks his lips as Yuji yells out and charges at him. The two head upstairs as you fall to your knees beside B/N. You don't know what happened between him and Yuji to make B/N believe you. You wipe his tears away and close his eyes. 

"I hope your soul makes it back home," you whisper. 

You stand up and heard a crashing sound outside. You stagger in your steps as you head outside to see Yuji falling from the sky.

"Yuji!" you scream out. 

Your eyes widen when Mahito lands in front of you. You let out a strangled yelp as he grabs the back of your neck and thrust you forward. He's not behind you and you feel his hand slam into your back.  

"Switch with Sukuna or see your soulmate get turned as well," Mahito laughs. Yuji's eyes widen and yell, "Wait!" Yuji screams for Sukuna again, but Sukuna didn't appear. 

Asshole.

"Idle Transfiguration." 

"Y/N!" 

You screw your eyes shut, preparing to turn into some grotesque transfigured human. But you didn't feel anything. Nothing happened for a few seconds, making you open your eyes. You raise your hand to your face to see you're still normal.

"What is this?" Mahito whispers. 

 You are questioning the same thing as Mahito. 'Why didn't Idle Transfiguration work on me?' you thought. 

'Your body, mind, and soul are mine.'

Sukuna's words echo in your mind as you gasp softly. 

"No, think of it as me holding onto it," he answers, holding it. "You'll be alive just...soulless in a way."

Because Sukuna is holding your soul, Mahito's transfiguration won't work on you!

"No matter!"

SHICK!

You feel immense pain in your neck as Yuji's screams are going muffled in your ears. It was the last thing you hear as your body drops to the ground. Chaos who's watching from afar grins as he watches your corpse fall to the ground. 

Mahito stabbed you in your nape.

Your death is immediate as Mahito cackles loudly. 

Chaos reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pocket watch. 

"I give her two minutes," he hums, betting on how long it will take you.

To wake back up.

-

Yuji's eyes are wild as he stares at you dropping to your knees before falling to your side. Sukuna also stares in shock. Both had waited for you to make any movement, but Sukuna knew all too well that a stab in that area meant immediate death. 

'Brat switch with me!' Sukuna demands.

His orders fall on deaf ears as Yuji feels everything in him burn. Sukuna even tried to take over, but Yuji wouldn't allow it. It's their fault you died Sukuna's, this Mahito guy, it's all their fault! Yuji screams and charges at Mahito who forms wings on his back and backs away. 

Yuji lands every hit and punches him with such force he was pushed back far away. He refuses to switch with Sukuna, he will kill Mahito himself! He doesn't need Sukuna, he will avenge your death! 

Sukuna can feel Yuji's mind slipping further into rage and despair. He needs to get through to the kid if he's going to bring you back to life. "Yuji!" he yells, trying to get him to listen. But Yuji ignores Sukuna's demands as Mahito takes shape of multiple blades. 

After a short fight, Yuji is impaled with a bunch of spikes coming from Mahito. "You can't beat me," Mahito sighs annoyed. "Swap out already with Sukuna." He places his hand on Yuji's chest. "Idle Transfiguration." Mahito's eyes widen in fear as he peers into Sukuna's soul. 

"You dare touch my soul?"


Sukuna peers down at Mahito like the insect he is, feeling boiling rage in his chest. But he kept his calm composure as much as he could.

"You have a lot of nerve coming in here," he sneers. "Killing my bride? Do not mistake this time that I won't kill you because the brat is the one keeping you safe right now. You won't get off easily next time. When I get out I will kill you and I will enjoy every second of making your last moment on this planet as miserable as possible."

Mahito stood there feeling fear as Sukuna's eyes narrowed. 

"Know you're place, shiremonoga."

Mahito disappears from Sukuna's sight, making the King of Curses clench his fist in anger. Yuji reaches up and slams his head into Mahito's repeatedly, blood staining the walls. Mahito releases the spikes and Yuji backs away before slamming his heel into his face. Yuji blinks as Mahito disappears then reappears behind him with a large bulky weapon. 

"Huh?"

But Nanami comes and stops Mahito from hurting Yuji. 

"I'll lecture you later, what happened?" he asked Yuji. Yuji's eyes waver and he looks down. "I couldn't save them...Y/N she's dead..." Nanami's eyes widen a bit and he looks around for your body. 

All he sees is a blood puddle, but your body is not there.

"Did he take her body?" Nanami questions, not understanding.

"Huh? No, her body should be over there-" Yuji's words are caught in his throat when he also sees your body is missing. Mahito catches on that they're looking behind him, but before he could turn he feels something pierce him through his back. He looks down and sees four large claws seeping out of his torso.

"Huh?" he said, confused. 

He turns around to see you. Your eyes are glowing white and your skin is covered in black marks. That's not all, you're surrounded by dark energy, very powerful curse energy. All he can see is your white eyes glaring into his soul.

Before he could say anything you let out an angry yell as you lift him in the air and throw his body. Your yells of anger almost sounded animal-like, nothing human. Mahito slams into a wall, causing great destruction and a lot of dust.

"Y/N-!"

"Stay back!" Nanami grabs Yuji by the hood before he could go to you. "But she's alive!" Yuji argues. Nanami frowns as he watches your body movement. You're hunched over, growling and snarling as your body struggles to stay still. Almost as if you're struggling to restrain yourself.

"Look at her, she's dangerous right now Yuji. There's a chance she won't know who you are."

You growl in pain as your hands struggle to clench into fists. You let out a painful scream as a disproportioned limb grows out of your back. Mahito comes out of the dust, smiling madly. 

"Ah he was right!" he said, so excited. "Killing someone dear to you would bring this side of you out!" You growl and charge at him, slamming your fist into the ground as he jumps back.

"We have to help her," Yuji argues, turning to Nanami. Nanami refuses to let Yuji go as he watches your fight movements. They were wild like an inexperienced fighter compared to how he's seen you train. It's almost animal-like.

The two sorcerers watch as your extra limb punches Mahito into the ground and you slam your feet into his skull. You climb onto his back, gripping his hair and slamming it repeatedly into the earth. You smile wide as you see blood pool around his skull. 

"Get off you runt!" he screams, grabbing your ankles and throwing you away. Your body tumbles against the ground until you dig your fingers into the ground to stop yourself from moving further away from your prey. You stand up as your fingers are raw, flesh cut up and bleeding from trying to stop yourself from rolling.

Nanami doesn't like the thought of sending Yuji to calm you down. But if things keep up like this you may attack them and possibly kill them. And if that happens who's to say you will not go after innocent people?

"Yuji you try to calm Y/N down and I'll deal with the curse. Get her attention first."

"Y/N stop!" Yuji screams. Your attention turns to him and he watches as your eyes widen and you snarl at him. Nanami takes the chance to attack Mahito who was watching and caught him off guard.

Yuji is shocked as you let out a growl and tackle him. Your bodies collide into each other and he feels something sharp embedding in his neck. Rows of teeth pressed against his neck. Two your of arms are pinning him down and your third limb is pushing his head back so his neck is exposed to you.

He feels blood pour down his neck and he immediately tries to shove you off.

"Y/N stop!" 

You stop biting into his neck, but you didn't move away from him. Yuji's breathing quickens as his life is literally in your teeth. "Y/N it's me, it's Y-Yuji," he stutters. "Remember me?" He can feel your body tremble on top of his. 

"Remember? W-We had those late-night talks, you always told me what you dreamed. It would make me happy to hear what you dreamed, not the zombies though. T-That was brutal. And remember movie night? You showed me this one movie called Girl's Trip and we were rolling when that lady peed on all those people."

He hears a strangled sound coming from you, almost as if you struggled to laugh. Or tried to laugh. "And remember the time you laughed so hard coffee spurt out your nose? Oh, wait that was me. And what about the time I gave you the best run of your life? Oh well, you did vomit." He watches as you slowly pull away from him, your eyes narrowing in hurt. 

Unlike last time your eyes stayed glowing and the marks stayed there, but Yuji can tell you were coming back. 

"Y-Yuji?"

"Yeah it's me," he said, smiling sadly. You cup his face with your hands, eyes examining his face. Your fingers trail the teeth marks on his skin. Your eyes tear up and you look defeated. 

"I-I almost-"

You let out a painful scream as something stabs you in the back. "Y/N?!" he screams in a panic. He sits up, holding you, and sees a dagger in your back. Your extra limb disappears as your body shakes and falls onto him. You try to look behind you as Yuji reaches for the dagger. His hand grips it and as soon as he touched it, it burns his hand. He pulls back fast and grips it again ignoring the burning on his palm.

"Wait stop don't yank it out!" you scream. "Pulling out sharp tools makes a person bleed out!"

He stops trying to pull it out and helps you stand. "G-Go help Nanami," your words are slurred. It feels like a drug taking its effect on you. "But-" You just point over in Nanami's direction and even tried to shove him that way.

"Go I'll be fine," you mumble. 

Yuji leaves you as you stumble in your steps to lean against the wall. Your vision hazes as you struggle to keep them open. It feels like an icy poison is coursing through your veins, whatever the hell Mahito stabbed you with. It burns, everything burns. 

It needs to get out!

You reach behind you to grip the dagger and tried to pull it out. You hiss in pain, biting your tongue as it slowly pulls out of your skin. You let out a painful cry as you successfully pull it out. You didn't examine the dagger as you shove it into your pocket. 

"Y/N look out!"

You feel something latch onto your body and see it's transfigured humans throwing themselves onto you. You try to throw them off but they just keep coming. "Get off!" you scream. But because you were so weak they overpowered you and pinned you against the ground. 

What the hell did Mahito stab you with?

"P-Please," a blue transfigured human mumbles. "P-Please help me." Your eyes widen and your bottom lip trembles. You look around and see a pipe next to you. You reach for it and grip it tightly. 

Yuji struggles to break free as Mahito has him and Nanami pinned against the wall. "Though she was trouble, I wonder if I can push Y/N further into madness by killing you 7:3," Mahito said, licking his lips. Nanami smirks. 

"If there was one thing I learned about Y/N is that no matter how far you push her, she will always find a way to come back," he spoke confidently. "She may lose her way, but that's what humans do. She'll always find a way back."

A high pitch sound is heard as Mahito is impaled by a rod. This made him look down in surprise. Mahito turns around as you swing a bat with long nails sticking out into his skull. 

As Mahito is caught off guard Yuji breaks free and frees Nanami as well. Mahito grins as he turns to you, pulling the bat out of his head.

"How are you moving?!" he asked, getting agitated. You glare at him, blood is pouring out of your nose. 

Mahito turns around as Nanami comes from above him and slams his sword onto the top of his head. Yuji punches him in his spinal cord and his side. Your fist collides into his jaw.

You imagine brass knuckles on your fingers, you don't even know if you did it correctly. You back up a bit as Mahito tried to kick you away, but you grab his leg quickly and slam your knuckles into his knee. 

Your curse energy failed to produce brass knuckles, but what did form looked like solid quarts on top of your fingers and knuckles. 

Nanami hits him in the head, Yuji punches him in the jaw, and you punch him in his torso. The three of you are jumping this Curse wanting to end this fucker. Whenever they swing, you swing too, Mahito tries to block all of your guy's attacks but it was futile when it's 1 vs 3. 

Mahito does kick you away, making you growl. You leap into the air again, ready to go for the kill.

'Imagine something dangerous, imagine something that has a 100 percent chance to kill him!' your thoughts scream. 

However, your body pulsates in pain, causing you to fall onto the ground instead. 

A choking sound escapes your lips and you vomit up blood into your hand. Your throat burns as you cough violently, blood coating your hand. Yuji and Nanami are so busy fighting Mahito that they didn't see or hear you. Your body feels weak as you fall to your knees. 'No, stop!' you thought. 'Don't give up on me now body!'


But your body didn't listen as you fall flat onto your stomach. The icy feeling from the poison returns and you feel your eyelids grow heavy.

Shit! You pushed your body to the limit! Mahito noticed your collapsed body and grins, extending his arm into a blade, rushing it towards you. Nanami dodges, thinking the blade was heading towards him until he noticed something is wrong. He looks back as did Yuji, seeing the blade heading toward your limp body.

"Y/N!" Yuji and Nanami scream.

'Dammit, I will not die here! I have to avenge B/N!' You screw your eyes shut, pouring your last energy, and imagine it wrapping around your body.

'Hm, your technique is quite adaptable too,' Sukuna hummed, eyeing you. 'If you can make weapons just from imagining with your curse energy who's to say you can't harden it and create a shield?'

'You think so?'

"Curse energy isn't solid though, special techniques that require that use a lot of energy,' he explains. "It is energy after all, so I would say use it as a last effort to save yourself."

You imagine a thick barrier around yourself, using everything you have to solidify it. Imagining a hard shell is a lot harder than you imagined. You feel blood pouring out of your nose, ears, and mouth as you imagine every part of your body being protected. Blood is even pouring out of your nails and eyes as the final part of your body is covered.

A loud sound echoes as Mahito's blade hits the solid barrier you put around yourself instead of hitting you. It's almost like a giant crystal, making you internally grateful for watching the attack on titan. 

'Anime saves lives, kids,' you weakly thought. 

'I'm so tired,' you thought, feeling your eyes grow heavy. 'B/N...B/N...

I failed you....'

-

Before Mahito could grab your shell Yuji punches him away from you. 

"Don't touch her," he growls in a tone he never heard himself say before. It was probably the most angry, hateful tone he used that came from within his gut. Nanami comes up and hits him in the face, Yuji following with kneeing him in the stomach. 

He raises his hand to attack the patchface curse until he opens his mouth. Yuji's eyes widen when he sees hands inside the mouth and feels danger. He jumps back as multiple hands erupts from the ground. He watches in horror as Nanami was grabbed as well as you're crystallized shell.

"No, no, no, no," he whispers, panicking. He runs to the domain expansion and rams his fists into it. He tries to break it as he curses.

"Dammit! Why did he only grab Nanami and Y/N!?"

He goes around the domain, punching it everywhere to find a way in, to find a weak spot. 

"I'm so grateful to the both of you," Mahito said, in such a soft tone it made Nanami annoyed. He was grabbed to be placed in his domain, but he also grabbed your crystallized form as well. But for some reason he placed you and Nanami far from each other. Nanami is worried about the plans Mahito has for you.

Mahito turns to you, grinning. "I wonder why my transfiguration didn't work on her," he hums. "When I touched her, it's almost as if she had no soul. Oh but don't worry, there will be plenty of tests to run on her!" 

Nanami takes off his glasses and looks upwards. "I don't need your gratitude. I've already received it from lots of others. I have no regrets." Mahito smirks and gets into position until Nanami runs to your direction. His blade is in the air, with just one chance to try to set you free. 

It was a last ditch effort that would most likely fail, but he didn't want to accept his fate when you are in the palm of the enemy. 

 Mahito laughs and reaches out, making Nanami try to run faster.

But everything stopped when there is the sound of glass shattering. The two look up to see Yuji's fist through the top of Mahito's Domain. Mahito is shocked a swell as Nanami. Yuji bursts through the domain and looks at Mahito with hatred and anger. 

Before Nanami could move he feels cold all of a sudden and then the presence of evil. Everything went dark then he sees the shadow of Sukuna's true form bursting out with it's glowing red eyes. The hand that was holding you let's you go as your shell fall onto a pool of blood?

"I warned you..."

He quickly look up to see the king sitting on his throne. He looks at Mahito in disgust that such lowly creature dared to touch his soul. The color red bounces off his skin that made him look...evil. No other word, but evil comes to him.

"that there wouldn't be a next time." 

With a swipe of his hand, a gash slices into Mahito making Yuji and Nanami shocked. Nanami glances back to Sukuna, but sees something in his palm. A soul in his palm, the color black and still. Sukuna is leaning into his hand, watching Mahito bleed out as he holds the soul close to him. 

The thought of the King of Curses holding a soul sounds impossible. 

Especially when it looks like he's cradling the soul, his rough hand holding it
