" Don't bother to pretend Geto.
I know
You asked Gojo-sensei
When I would be executed"

"What if
The person you save
Kills someone else?"

Those two sentences rang in your ears  endlessly. Just how much effect can some mere sentences have on you. But they weren't just some sentences. Everything you have came across ever since you joined Jujutsu tech is a trigger.  A trigger to your memories. Trigger to your inner demons. Trigger to the emotions you try to bury deep down.

You clenched your fists.You don't know how Itadori knows what you asked Gojo, not you are willing to find about it. Yet there is one thing that's making your heart crumple. Are you a killer  for asking about someone's execution? You sure are a killer for what you did in the past due to losing control on your cursed energy.

You shouldn't have been saved by the higher ups. You was right . Fushiguro's statement was right. You killed people back then and at present you expected an innocent's execution.

It's pathetic . Isn't it?

You swore you won't be a murderer like suguru . But you are equally guilty as him. Your eyes lost their light. Filled with nothingness. All the voices around muffled, all the things seems to fade out . The only thing you can hear is your conflicting thoughts and haunting memories crossing your mind.

Kugisaki yelled for the both boys to stop arguing. Yet her voice didn't reach out to you. You stood there with a haunted expression.

"Kugisaki!"
"Not Geto too"
"Geto!"

The brunette was already sucked into a hole. You was next. The boys yelling fell upon deaf ears. " Y/N! " Itadori screamed once again, his hand reaching out to you.

You snapped out of the darkness that was engulfing you. Your eyes immediately took in the sight. Nobara ain't here. The demon dog is dead. You'll separate from Itadori and Fushiguro soon .  You held out your hand but it never reached to Itadori. It was never meant to, because you are summoning a 1st grade curse.

"Use it !" You said , summoning one of your curses. The hole swallowing you and then disappears. The two boys were left with a curse to help them.

The hole teleported you to where Kugisaki was. You had your guard up. As soon as you landed on your feet, curses lunged at you. They are lower grade curses, you take them down easily. 

You summoned a grade 2 curse which freed Kugisaki from curse's grasp. "Don't swallow it.  We'll absorb it later" you said when your curse was ready to eat the other curse.

The brunette got back on her feet and made her way towards you.  "Thanks. But what do you mean by absorbing?" She asked curiously.  you turned your head towards her.

"Curse manipulation. When curses die, I absorb them and use as my own. They are spheres, I swallow them"

"I wonder which one is more gross? Itadori eating Sukuna's finger or you swallowing these spheres of curses?" She put her finger to her chin. "Now when you said it. I think it's equally disgusting" you replied ,shrugging your shoulders.

"But it's not like you are eating a curse or curse's body part like him. Just their curse energy" Her words gave you a mental image of eating a curse and you cringed. "It's like swallowing a rag, used to wipe vomit" you say, gulping down the lump in your throat .

Before She can say any further ,you changed the topic. "You've got injuries . Let's go to the manager" you said, waiting for her to follow you. She followed behind closely. 

"Both of you . Come with me. We have to get out of here" Fushiguro came running. "Where is he?" You asked the ravenette referring to Itadori.  "I'll explain later. We have to be out of here" you take a step back. "I've gotta do something.  Take Kugisaki I'll be back" You turn away.

"Wait ! Where are you going?" The ravenette stomped towards you. You mouthed 'absorbing' ,turning your head into brunette's direction. She got the hint and took away fushiguro telling him about your curse technique.

After they left, you swallowed the black sphere of cursed energy. Everything inside of you wanted to spit it out, you've had too much of this cursed energy.  You reluctantly swallow it. The red strings tightened, one more curse in your possession.

"I know Itadori is  switching with Sukuna" You muttered to yourself. That's why Fushiguro was asking both of you to leave . They are expecting you to come back but you have different plans.

You ran inside the building, trying to find him. You can't let him fight on his own. You entered the place where he was supposed to be. "ITADORI!" you stopped in the midway of going towards him.

"Domain expansion: malevolent shrine"

The surroundings changed into Sukuna's domain. You are stuck here.
The curse energy of the king of curses, the strongest human sorcerer of Heian era fills you with terror . It's just one finger and he is at this level. If he gets all the parts of his soul, it would be a massacre. No, something more destructive than a massacre.

He's not a special grade ,not at all. He's far more powerful than what people perceive him as. The reality sinks into you. Your muscles tense up. Your body can't seem to move, like it would around the special grade curses to kill them. But he wasn't just any special grade curse , He was the human sorcerer in Heian era whose strength can never be matched .

He pulls out the cursed object from the chest of the special grade curse.
"Oi ! Brat. Switch back.  Why won't you switch back" He smirks as he realized that the owner of the body couldn't switch back because of not making a proper deal.

You stare wild eye, sweat trickling down your forehead. "You see your friend is having a hard time returning back.  So till then I'll test if you are really worthy of the powers you have" he turned towards you, cracking his knuckles . You clenched your fist.
