Chapter Text
Sukuna was celebrating once again.
To be exact.
Today was the celebration of his great victory 13 years ago.
The day Sukuna had successfully managed to kill Gojo Satoru and then exterminate all the Jujutsu sorcerers in Japan.
The era of chaos and blood began in Japan.
A new era of curses was born.
Half of the country was now ruled by curses.
The other half…
She served the other half.
Yuji heard more screams of terror and closed his eyes tightly.
Another person was being tortured for Sukuna's pleasure.
Usually at these parties Sukuna would force him to stay by his side, but because he had shown himself to be a good "pet" in the last few days, Sukuna had released him from his annual banquet so that he could present him with something better in his room.
Yuji hated that.
After seeing all his companions lose their lives at the hands of the curse, Yuji expected it to kill him.
But Sukuna did worse to him.
Sukuna took him as a trophy.
"You were made specifically for me, your entire existence was created and planned for me, you are mine, only I can say how you will live and how you will die"
Those were Sukuna's words to him.
After that Sukuna did everything to him.
He tortured him in the worst possible ways, tormented him mentally, exposed him to chaos and destruction…
But nothing prepared him for what came next.
Sukuna took him.
He took his body in every possible way.
The touches of the curse were something that Yuji felt strongly repulsed about himself.
An eternal ghost of what always awaited him when the curse pulled him towards itself.
Yuji lost everything to that curse.
However, there was still one thing that Yuji had not given to Sukuna.
His heart.
10 years ago, Sukuna had demanded that Yuji love him and ordered him to only say “I love you” to him.
Yuji refused.
So for days Sukuna tore out his vocal cords and healed them.
Again and again.
A cycle that lasted for days.
But Yuji never gave in.
At some point Sukuna got tired and pointed out that one day Yuji would willingly speak those words to him.
But Yuji never accepted that.
So much so that since that day.
Yuji could not utter a single sound.
There was nothing wrong with him physically.
But no matter how much they tormented him, Yuji would not utter a single sound.
And that had been 10 long years.
Yuji was already 28 years old now, he had the surname Ryomen now and Kenjaku would have a meal with him every day before taking him for his experiments…
Yuji's life had changed a lot.
And today.
Today he intended to end it.
It took a long time.
But Yuji carefully managed to discover the moment when Sukuna's guards were always the most careless.
And today he would enjoy the excitement of the party.
Carefully, Yuji moved through Sukuna's large temple and headed towards the weapons arsenal.
He watched as some curses laughed carelessly and waited carefully for them to decide to leave.
Yuji smiled.
Carefully he entered the arsenal and went to the deepest part of it and then he found a specific weapon.
Yuji found the Inverted Spear of Heaven and soon he picked it up and immediately ran out of the arsenal, he immediately fled the place before the guards returned and then he went towards the garden north of the temple.
Yuji walked slowly through the garden and went towards the large cherry tree of the same.
Deep below the tree, he dug a hole and found what he had hidden for months.
Seals and two bootles of blood.
Yuji carefully placed the seals around the tree and then took out the vials of blood.
He mixed both bloods and then placed half of it in the seals, activating a small but strong barrier around him, and then he dipped the dagger in the blood.
Yuji didn't know if this would work.
He himself had already noticed that he wasn't aging or rotting as he should, so he knew there was something Sukuna and Kenjaku were doing to him.
But he had to try.
He couldn't bear to live like this anymore.
He suffered every night remembering the lifeless eyes of each of his friends and mentors.
He couldn't live with the pain he felt in his chest anymore.
Yuji felt that he had been abandoned by everyone and everything.
And that now he would suffer a nightmare.
But... He wanted to at least end this nightmare.
Then he took the dagger and with a certainty and willpower he hadn't felt in a long time Yuji thrust the dagger into his heart.
Yuji could only smile as he felt the life drain from him and he no longer had the strength to even keep his eyes closed.
He felt a comfort he hadn't felt in years.
Yuji felt himself being taken to a very distant place.
**************************
Satoru was sitting in a comfortable armchair staring at the projection of Mei Mei.
He watched his first year students, Kugisaki Nobara and Megumi Fushiguro, along with his second year students, Panda, Inumaki Toge, Maki Zenin and Okkotsu Yuuta, go against the students of the Kyoto Jujutsu School.
He looked around and saw both school principals talking lightly about the performances of both students, Utahime and Shoko were in a corner calmly and his best friend Geto Suguru who kindly turned into a teacher like him was by his side probably taking notes of what he should do to improve each student's performance.
Everything was going well.
Everything was going peacefully when immediately there was a wave of cursed energy in the center of the forest.
It was an overwhelming energy and soon after it seemed to concentrate in a single point in the forest.
SATORU! - Suguru shouted.
Satoru nodded and immediately his friend placed his hand on his shoulder and Satoru teleported them to the place where he felt the energy.
They were in a small stream.
There didn't seem to be any danger, but...
There was a body.
A body of a young man.
Satoru ran to the body next to Suguru.
Soon they got close and were shocked.
It was a young man who seemed to be in his early 20s, he had pink hair and four scars on his face.
One above one of his eyes, another on the side of his mouth and two identical half-moon shaped ones below both eyes.
The young man wore a long traditional white flowery kimono, but what had shocked Satoru and Suguru was what was stuck in the young man's chest.
It was the Inverted Spear of Heaven stuck in his chest.
Shaking slightly, Satoru approached the young man only to feel that he still had a pulse.
“He’s still alive.”
Immediately, Satoru took the dagger and removed it from the boy and applied a bit of the reverse technique on him and teleported to Shoko, picking her up and taking her to the medical area.
There was no need for questions when Shoko saw the young man’s condition.
While Shoko began to apply the reverse technique on the young man, Satoru took out his cell phone and began to inform everyone of what had happened.
It wasn’t long before he received information from Yaga and the senile Gakuganji that they had interrupted the sister schools’ event and while Utahime, Mei Mei, Yaga and Gakuganji would stay with the students, Satoru and Suguru would check who the mysterious young man was.
A short time later, Suguru arrived at the medical ward and they stayed by Shoko’s side for a while. After she finished applying the emergency technique, she turned to Satoru and Suguru.
I applied enough to prevent any further heart injuries, he should recover normally now, but I will examine his body in case there are any other injuries that are not visible, even though I find it difficult since he is wearing a white kimono… - Shoko pointed out last.
Satoru and Suguru nodded.
They should leave to allow Shoko privacy to examine the young man, but since he mysteriously appeared inside Tengem-sama's barrier, in the middle of the school, both special-grade sorcerers thought it best not to stray from Shoko and leave her vulnerable to the unknown.
Soon Satoru leaned against a corner and stared at the young man carefully.
There was something very mysterious about the young man, but besides the fact that the young man had appeared out of nowhere, what alarmed Satoru the most was the young man's cursed energy.
There was something that was like 10 different fragments joining his soul, 9 seemed to have been joined by the young man's soul like a big hug, but the 10th...
It fused perfectly with the young man's soul, but the young man's soul...
It seemed to fight against that specific energy.
As if his soul was trying to reject the compatibility of their souls.
That was something that made Satoru question exactly what that boy was.
However, it was because he was so focused on the boy's energy that he didn't notice that Shoko had completely removed the top of the young man's Kimono and that she gave a great scream of shock and horror.
Immediately Satoru and Suguru ran towards Shoko and as they got closer they had to hold back a howl of rage.
There were marks on the young man's body.
Giant hands marked the young man's waist, shoulders and wrists, there were hickey and bite marks all over his body...
Countless marks.
And what made Satoru on the verge of rage was that...
If Shoko had used the reverse technique to heal the young man, those marks should have disappeared, if they were still there and there was residue as Satoru could see, that only meant one thing.
Those marks were infused with cursed energy, as a way to allow them to last longer, even if the reverse technique was used on the body.
Just... just what happened to him? - Shoko said completely in horror.
From the clothes and the state of the body... I think he may have been used in some kind of ceremony or ritual... - Suguru said and Satoru could hear the bitterness in his voice.
Or he may have been used as a sacrifice. - Satoru said finally.
The three friends silently decided to treat the young man, Satoru and Suguru helped treat each wound on the young man and they carefully bandaged him, gave him medicine...
Everything to help.
After he was covered and they noticed that there were marks even on the boy's feet...
They dressed the young man in comfortable clothes that they had in the medical ward, a pair of pants and a long-sleeved dark blue sweatshirt.
The kimono was discarded, not only because of the blood, but also because they knew that those clothes would bring back devastating memories for the young man.
The young man slept peacefully.
But at any moment he could wake up.
Satoru was unsure of what he should do.
The young man must have certainly gone through something very traumatic.
And when he woke up in an unknown place?
Would he think that they would abuse him too?
Satoru didn't know what color the eyes that were currently closed in serenity would be, but...
He knew that if those eyes looked at him with fear and terror...
They would destroy him from the inside.
Of course, his debate didn't last long because he soon received a call from Yaga.
Satoru, Tegem-sama has just informed that all students and teachers present at the school event were to introduce themselves to him... along with the young man with pink hair... he said that everything will be explained. - Yaga said on the phone.
Satoru agreed and then passed the message to his friends. He carefully picked up the young man and soon everyone went towards where Tengem-sama was.
Satoru looked at the young man once more.
What was his relationship with Tegem-sama?
How did he appear on campus?
How did that dagger end up piercing his chest?
“Just who are you?”
Satoru had many questions…
And he would definitely have his answers.
