Fushiguro Megumi stared across the forest floor, over to where Sukuna carelessly lounged on a rock.
“Become my Shikigami.” He demanded. His heart hammered in his chest, who was he to demand something like that from Sukuna? He was a lowly mortal.
Sukuna scoffed, it seems he shared the same thoughts. “No, why should I?”
‘All I need to do is defeat him, if I do, he’ll be mine.’ He lunged at the king of curses, summoning great serpent to go underground and get a second attack in.
Sukuna expected something along those lines and quickly evaded both of the moves, striking back at Megumi with even more force than what wasa thought possible.
He flew back, the force wasn’t enough to knock him over, he was stronger than before now, he summoned Toad and set them in as a distraction. He grabbed a loose tree branch and snapped it off while Sukuna was busy with the toads. He imbued it with cursed energy as he charged once more, aiming straight for Sukuna’s head.
He was stopped. Sukuna stuck his tongue out at Fushiguro and threw him to t(e floor, coming over and hitting in the space where his head was. Fushiguro dodged all of Sukuna’s moves, getting tired too quickly for what he preferred. He dodged out of the way of a blow to his gut, feet tripping up on a rock.
He fell to the floor, head facing straight up as his brain screamed for air. Sukuna put a foot on The human’s shoulder, kicking him so he was on his side and could get up easier.
Fushiguro snarled, baring his teeth. It was a move that showed he still had fight, despite his exhausted state. “Become my shikigami,” he snarled, “I will make you.”
Sukuna smirked, “oh really? You cant even breath right now?” He chuckled, slipping his hands into his Kimono sleeves, “how do you expect to beat me when you still have your human weakness?”
Fushiguro got up unsteadily but quickly. He lunged for Sukuna, silent as he did so.
Sukuna whipped around and went to nock the kid away when he saw he wasn’t there.
Fushiguro emerged from his shadow, stabbing his with a sharp stick laced with cursed energy and then twisting to kick him in the face. Sukuna fell for the first attack, but not the second.
He tore the stick out of his stomach, ignoring how the blood stained his white kimono. He healed the wound and softened his glare towards Megumi.
Megumi bared his teeth once more, showing he was still up for a fight, “BECOME MY SHIKIGAMI!” he yelled at Sukuna, summoning Max Elephant and having it stand at the ready.
Sukuna sighed, smile tugging at his lips. “Fine.” He shrugged in a nonchalant way, “Fushiguro Megumi, you have defeated the King of Curses in combat and have tamed him, I am now your Shikigami.” He melted away.
Megumi sighed as the forest arena melted away with Sukuna, slumping to the ground and sighing.
Gojo ran out into the feild, “MEGUMI!” he called out, “MEGUMI!” he fell go the ground next to the boy, reaching out and keeping him upright, “what did you do? There was a massive surge of energy—“ he cut himself off when he saw Fushiguro’s face.
“Itadori doesn’t need to get executed now.” Fushiguro smiled. His head slowly lolled to the side, “I’m just doing what I can to save people.”
Gojo’s eyes widened.
Megumi blinked tiredly, “I’m sorry, I’m gonna sleep now…” he shut his eyes and his body relaxed in Gojo’s grip.
Gojo wiped the hair away from his kid’s face. “What did I do to deserve you kids?” He whispered to himself, chuckling. “Alright, lets get you to Shoko.”
