When Satoru heard an explosion in the distance, he knew that Sukuna is coming.
He doesn't know what's the deal with the King of Curses to take in a human in his ranks, but whatever it is, it made his initial plan of luring Sukuna out of his domain and into his territory work.
Now, its only a matter of strenght on who to get to keep the human, and Satoru wasn't planning on letting the human go after his adorable play in the sea.
The second Sukuna's form appeared before him, he knew the naga is absolutely livid.
His four crimson orbs are flashing with fiery rage, his claws and upper body is covered with ash and blood, and his fangs are bared and he's hissing.
"Bastard. Where the fuck is my human?"
Amusement flickered through Satoru's eyes as he watch the King of Curses' usually calm demeanour crumble as he seethe in anger. Just to add in the other's irritation, he slowly rise up from his throne,tone playful as he throw away the bones of a dead fish he was feasting about earlier.
"Now now, Sukuna, i only wanted to play with Yuuji. What's with the aggression?"
His words made the the naga bristle in anger. "Don't call him that. You're not allowed to call him his name."
Satoru is throughly amused.
Sukuna snarled at him.
"And only you can? Isn't that unfair? And it was Yuuji who told me that i can call him by his name."
Sukuna is heaving like a mad bull now.
Satoru internally cheer in glee.
"Give. Back. My. Wife."
"Hm," Satoru feign contemplation. "How about no?" He give the King of Curses a smirk. "He's cute. I wanna keep him."
Sukuna's hand lit up with fire.
Satoru's hand materializes a sword made of ice, readying himself for a fight.
"You bastardㅡ"
"Sukuna? Satoru-san? Why are you fighting?"
They both stop on their tracks the second Yuuji's voice reach their ears.
Satoru watch with growing amusement as Sukuna rounded on the direction of Yuuji.
The second his eyes landed on him, Sukuna was surging towards the human's direction, his hands losing its fire as he pull the human close. Satoru doesn't know if he's inspecting his blood if its tainted with another naga's venom or not, but Sukuna had buried his nose on the human's neck.
By the sight of slight movement of his chest, Sukuna took a deep inhale of the human's scent.
Satoru's curiosity at the scene before him grows.
The King of Curses doesn't fret nor worry on anyone. Heck, he doesn't even show much emotion other than his distaste at Satoru or irritation when Satoru sent few of his men to "infiltrate" Sukuna's island.
(Of course he doesn't really expect his men to succeed. He just wanted to annoy the shit outta Sukuna.)
But right now, as Sukuna held the human close, Satoru could clearly see the naga's tense shoulders relaxing a tad bit after taking a deep wiff of Yuuji's scent.
And oh, isn't that interesting? The King of Curses getting worried over a human? Satoru's amused grin sharpen. He finally have a chance on having a serious fight with Sukuna if he plays his cards right. All thanks to this adorably cute human.
Returning his attention on the scene before him (not that he ever took it off, he just got distracted) he saw Yuuji bring up a hand to softly pat Sukuna's neck, and Satoru swears he saw Sukuna sag on the human's touch alone.
"Sukuna, you really should practice breathing exercise for your anger." Yuuji gently scold. Satoru hide a snort at that.
"And whose fault was that?" Sukuna reluctantly pulls away from his hold with a glare- and what the heck- Satoru can't believe his six eyes right now- is Sukuna pouting?
"I'm sorry, okay? I just wanted to swim in the sea. Being stuck in the middle of the forest and your nest all the time is boring. And you never said that if i go to the sea, i'll get kidnapped."
"I thought you already know that! You live with nagas in an island, brat. You should be aware that we aren't the only one who's lurking around."
"Are you two done?" Drawled a familiar voice. Behind Sukuna, Satoru saw Nanami's familiar yellow and white tail.
Sukuna and Yuuji's chorus of "who the hell are you?"/"Nanamin!" made Satoru snort.
Nanami only give them a tired look before he tilt his body to the side to address him.
"Satoru, let the human go."
Satoru whines. "Why??? Sukuchan and i haven't fight yet!!"
He ignores Sukuna's indignant "the fuck did you just call me, bastard?!" And Yuuji's snicker of "Sukuchan" in exchange of pouting and batting his lashes at Nanami.
Nanami only stared at him with dead eyes.
"I'm not going to babysit him for you. Let him go."
Satoru sighs as he relented. "Fine."
Guess he won't be able to fight with Sukuna today.
Oh well, at least he could try abducting Yuuji again next time.
