Standing in front of the large building; you gulped, wondering on how you'd gain enough courage to take a foot forward. "Let's go." Megumi mumbled as he walked forward, you reluctantly following after him past the large open doors.

And there— you saw him

He sat in such a relaxed manner; as if the world was his throne. A stern expression rested on his tattooed face, his legs crossed. He wore a white robe-like outfit, his pink hair noticeable as his red eyes soon became focused on you and only you.

You held a small silver container of whine that has been aged for years and bowed in front of him. Bones and skulls were everywhere, and he seemed to even have a fountain of a red liquid flowing inside the palace behind him that went around his throne.

Megumi stood next to the large opened doors; staring at the scene that was about to unfold before him. "So, this is the human I've chosen?" He questioned as he shifted in his seat, chin rested on his knuckle as he leaned to the left. You didn't answer his question as you lifted up the container of wine. "Here's the wine that's required." Holding it by both of your hands, you heard the man of the throne hum. "Is that so? Well. And the treasure?"

Ah—how am I going to explain this?

"I am the treasure." Your voice never wavered, you kept your chin high, and spoke with certainty. The king seemed amused at your claims as he leaned forward with his arms rested on his knees. "Is that so? What makes you think you're special enough for such a title? What a cocky human," he mused as he sat back. He raised his finger; and you could hear Megumi take a step forward. Sukuna rolled his eyes at Megumi's protectiveness. "I'm not going to kill her yet, so annoying." He hummed, "besides. I'm sure she remembers me."

Remember him?

"Beg your pardon?" You questioned with a quirked brow. You've never met this man a day in your life! "Don't be foolish. You know me." You could feel Megumi's gaze now on you.

"I believe you have the wrong person." You placed the wine down on the floor and refused to meet his gaze. You could feel tension rise in the room. The air felt thick and suffocating but you refused to break down. You could hear Sukuna click his tongue in annoyance as he stood up, "are you saying I'm wrong?" His voice seemed to get crueler as he began to walk down from his throne. No matter how tough or bad you wanted to act, everyone who faced his wrath were never seen again or killed publicly. Fear rose in your stomach and pumped in your veins. "Sukuna!" Megumi yelled out, but Sukuna raised a hand to hush him. Megumi bit his lip as he held in the urge to rush over and get you away from that man—no, that damned curse.

Megumi put his two hands together: ready to do anything to make sure you walked out of this palace alive. "Either you're a fool who thinks you can trick me, a stupid courageous human—" Sukuna stood right in front of you, kneeling down and roughly grabbing your chin, forcing you to look up at him. "Or a damn brat."

His long black nails poked your skin as his grip was so hard it could bruise. His red eyes stared into your (e/c) ones as he refused to look away. Your heart was beating out of fear as you clenched your fist on the ground. "I apologize. But this is my first time meeting you." Remaining persistent with your claim, your gaze never wavered ɎØɄ ØĐ łɆ.

His eyes widened slightly upon seeing that you were telling the ₮ⱤɄ₮Ⱨ??

Without saying another word, Sukuna let go of your face and stood up. He seemed mentally exhausted as he placed his hands together—his white robe like outfit's sleeves being put next to each other. "Show her where she'll be staying," Sukuna started as he turned around. "And try not to kill yourself while you're here. That's always no fun." He walked up his throne as if he didn't hold a care for the world. Megumi walked into the entrance room and helped you stand up. He wrapped his right arm around you protectively as he began to escort you out the room—until sukuna spoke once more. "Oh, and remember,"

He gave a cocky grin as red seemed to highlight his features, "you belong to me."

Your eyes widened as that was the last thing you saw before Megumi escorted you outside

[behind the scenes!]

"I'm worried for her," Nobara comments as Toge stays silent. "Ten years ago, I had an older friend who was summoned to Sukuna's palace. She was never seen again. I don't want that to happen to (y/n). Especially after what happened two years ago."

"Tuna."

"You're right. She's a strong girl, but still—"

Nobara turned her head; only to see Toge wearing one of her dresses as he carried in bags of supplies. Nobara smiled as she raised her fist, swinging and hitting Toge hard in the head as he fell over. "Get it off! Now!" She roared as she pulled on the outfit.

"Rice ball.."

"I DONT CARE IF YOU HAD NOTHING TO WEAR!" Without realizing it, she tore the outfit apart. Silence fell upon the two before she grabbed an anvil hammer, and began to chase Toge. "BONITO FLAKES!" He yelled out, and she yelled, "I DONT CARE IF I WAS THE REASON IT RIPPED!"
