Sukuna looked down at the woman presented to him, much like all the other beautiful females that came before, they were all such disappointments. Non of them gave him much interest for more than a few minutes. The longest lasting one stayed alive for two days.
This one would be like all the others so he never bothered to show any care or learn her name as she talked.
“Master,” Uraume entered the room taking note of the lady standing before Sukuna. She had long, pitch black hair that flowed down, almost touching the floor. She wore a plain white kimono, her lips were painted a deep shade of red. Her eyes were a bright ruby red, standing out from her pale, almost sickly skin. Turning her attention away from the sacrifice she turned towards her leader, “dinner is now ready, do you wish to take your new doll with you?”, the unknown woman did not show any emotions at being talked about.
Sukuna turned towards his loyal servant, thinking for a moment before a wicked smile worked its way on the king of curses face, “I do think I am getting quite hungry,” getting up from his throne he walked towards the woman, who did not look the least bit afraid, her face stoic. “I think we should have a meal together”, looking down at the fragile human putting one of his hands on her back guiding her towards the dining room. Uraume seemed to get the idea at what he wanted her to do. Sukuna wanted to feed the woman human flesh.
There are a few outcomes to this, they can refuse to do so and die or they are force fed and killed afterwards. Those that do eat it willingly often throw up after the first bite and usually last the night. Both the woman and the curse sat down next to each other.
Sukuna grabbed a plate and pushed it towards the lady, it was a human heart and brain mixed together, still she made no movement to show disgust. “This, my dear,” Sukuna spoke in a sickly sweet tone, “is a human heart and brain mixed together. It is my favourite, especially since Uraume made it. Won’t you make me happy and eat it,” now the woman showed clear disgust. Though surprisingly it is not the food but Sukuna’s tone that made her disgusted.
The lady turned away from the large man, grabbed the chopsticks and started consuming the food without stopping. Both Sukuna and Uraume are surprised at this, “are you going to sit their and look stupid or are you going to eat,” not even bothering to look at the giant man next to her.
Sukuna smiled and began divulging the food laid out before him, “what did say your name was again”, wishing to know what name this weird woman had so he could remember the human.
“Kiyomi”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiyomi managed to last an entire week before Sukuna got bored of her. The 19 year old woman did not do too much to make herself entertaining other than read the books in his library.
After ripping her apart, limb from limb, slowly and painfully, body parts scattered across the once clean floor. Uraume sighed knowing she was the one who was going to clean up this mess, again.
After Sukuna ate her delicate hand he knew something was off as he began to feel his body fail him, expunging the offending object he began to shake with rage. His servant was also shocked at the turn of events.
Stomping towards the torn body he picked up Kiyomi’s head, “what did you do to me!?!?”, shockingly enough she started to move and morph into a male.
“You ate me.”, the thing spoke as a matter of factly. Both curses knew whatever Kiyomi was, they definitely weren’t human nor a curses as both would have been dead once their body was torn apart. “I simply used my blood to my advantage to poison you”, it smiled. The beings body began to regenerate as if nothing ever happened to begin with.
“What are you!”, demanded Sukuna, crushing the head in his hands, only for the regenerated body to form a new head while the old one disintegrated into nothing.
“I,” the being walked closer to the other curse, “am the demon king Kibutsuji Muzan. I became one after an experimental medicine to heal me however the doctor died before he could complete it, to which I am doing so myself”, both kings stared intently at each other.
“Why did you stay?”, Uraume asked, questioning if a demon is stronger than a curse.
“To finish the medicine. Since I possess weaknesses that can kill me, I wish to overcome them. I can create demons but non of them has overcome the weakness or found the missing ingredient so I have an offer for the king of curses,” both of them noticed how he never mentioned what those weaknesses were as well as the demons overconfidence.
“Oh, and what will that be?”, intrigued at this outcome and what this will mean for him.
“I offer to be your wife,” morphing back into a woman, “if you accept, all demons will worship you. I shall also do as you ask as long as you do the same for me as long as it doesn’t stop our reputation. This is also to keep demon slayers and jujutsu sorcerers away from one another,” Muzan raises her hand towards the curse.
Sukuna thinks for a moment and weighs his options on the good and the bad on accepting this deal. He decides to accept Muzan’s offer as he believes that he can make him unkillable, smiling sinisterly as this was the start of a meaningful relationship that will change the course of history.
Along with the fear of the king of curses Sukuna, there was also a fear of the new queen of curses Kiyomi, fear of or for her is mixed amongst the jujutsu community.
Some brave sorcerers tried to save the young woman but were found were either torn apart or disappeared. Some say that Sukuna truly adores his wife and will kill anyone that tries to take or harm her in any way. Others say that those who do such things will be turned to ash by Kiyomi, telling them that she is neither human nor curse.
