You and Megumi walked together in silence as he brought you behind the palace; where a mini hallway that led to a traditional Japanese shack stood. "You never told me," you started, breaking the silence. Megumi didn't know where to start nor what to say. He felt conflicted and you weren't making it any better.

"I don't need to tell you everything." He spoke as if he didn't care and wished for you not to pursue this topic. To be truthful with himself, he did care and didn't want you to be angry at him. "You work with sukuna? I mean, it's not rare that a person from our village helps out around the palace or is selected to serve him for the rest of their lives—but, hah, never mind." You went quiet realizing that Megumi had a life of his own. Who were you to be in his business? He was a secretive guy anyways, you should've known this.

You finally reached the shack with the long hallway; and once you opened the sliding doors, you saw a bed that was huge with white sheets. There was a changing blinder for you to change behind, a small cushion seat, and a large mirror. The walls were a cream color along with gold and red. A few traditional Japanese paintings of people bowing down to Sukuna on the walls. "This room is so elegant," you were amazed as you looked around. "I feel so out of place~!" You chuckled trying to lift the mood as you turned to face Megumi. "I can tell. Especially since your room was only a pillow and cloth along with a pet rock that you've kept since forever." He rolled his eyes and you could feel the second hand embarrassment. "I told you to forget about that...!" You huffed and walked over to him. He gave a small smile as he leaned against the sliding door with his arms crossed. "I could be elegant and fancy if I wanted to! I just, uh, never really had to. I'm a cool person already." You say with your hands on your hips. "Just admit that you've never lived a day of lavish your entire life." Megumi sighed and you refused to give in.

"I don't want to hear it from the man who came to me for about three months since he didn't know how to cook and was starving," You sassed and Megumi's face turned crimson red as he tried to hide away in his collared outfit. "Don't talk about that." He grumbled as you smiled sweetly and rested your hands on his face, "it's okay~ I'm sure any woman would love you even if you can't cook for shit." Megumi huffed and grabbed your hands, startling you slightly. "Enough of your teasing, alright? Weren't you just nervous about this whole situation?" His right hand held both of your wrists together as you stared up at him. Yet—Megumi's heart seemed to break as he saw you give him a defeated smile.

"I'm just trying to ignore the bad about this situation. While also throwing in jokes to hide my pain~ that's all. In every bad situation there's some good. Even if the person experiencing it may not realize." You explained and Megumi let go of your hands. He bit his lip and turned away, "be safe. If anything happens just yell my name or run as fast as you can." And with that he shut the door behind him.

Ah, and now you were all alone.

Sighing, you walked over to the large bed and sat on it. It was surprisingly really comfortable but the thought of other females who died here sleeping in this bed made a shiver go down your spine. That's when you heard someone approaching the sliding wooden door. Assuming it was megumi, you sighed, "Megumi? I thought you left? What? Miss me already?" You chuckled to yourself until the door slid open: revealing Sukuna.

'Awh sugar honey ice tea.'

Your eyes widened as you quickly went quiet. "Didn't think you were so close to that man," he started and closed the door back. "We've known each other for a while." You answered.

Without realizing it, you instinctively backed up on the bed in fear of what he would do. Sukuna watched your every move like a predator eyeing its prey before pouncing. "I hope you know a human like you trying to hide their fear gets me riled up," he licked his sharp teeth as he began to get dangerously close. The closer he got, the farther you moved back. "So. Prepare yourself," Sukuna commanded as he suddenly moved forward, pushing you back harshly as he loomed above you. You now laid back on the bed with your mouth open from shock. Your hands were on his chest; preventing him from getting any closer. Well, trying to that is. "What do you mean?!" You mumbled out and Sukuna quirked a brow. He moved in closer, resting his elbow by your head as his other hand was used to express himself as he talked, "it's a shame to see how they teach people nothing anymore. I should demand more before I go there to terrorize the women and children." He sighed and began to speak about something else—but your mind began to wonder.

As much as you hated to admit it, he was attractive. Hella attractive.

It took every little ounce of common sense in your body to keep yourself from enjoying this situation. "In order to complete the ceremony of you belonging to me, I take wine, the woman dressed in lavish, a treasure from her family, and her innocence." He explains before his eyes trailed down your body. He had to admit, the outfit you wore truly complimented you. It was very similar to outfit you wore on ₮Ⱨ₳₮ ₦ł₲Ⱨ₮ Ø₣ ₥Ɏ₴₮ɆⱤɎ.

Your face was burning up at what he said. In order to complete the ceremony, you had to give him your virginity?! You refused to do it unless it was with the person you loved! That's something a kind lady on the streets used to tell you when you were younger. She was sweet and old. Always had a joke up her sleeve to cheer you up, and told you countless amounts of her life stories. "When I was young, I was going around, doing it with every attractive person on the street. But as I grew older—I began to crave something more. Compassion, love. Not to be someone's toy. If I could take back everything I did to my body so I could give it all to the person I loved, I would." Remembering her words made you huff with sudden courage.

"I'm sorry," you began as you stared at Sukuna.

"I'll only do it with the man I love!"

[behind the scenes!]

Megumi patted the horse by its white mane. "I don't understand females either," he smiled and the horse huffed. "Oh-? You're a female as well?" He then grew awkward before he turned away and sat down on the grass.

"I just don't know how to explain it to her. I want her to smile and be happy with me. I never want to receive the look she gave me when she found out about my family," he dreaded the thought, "never again..."

The horse then let out a small 'neigh' before stuffing Megumi's hand in its mouth. "H-hey! Let go," he began as he tried to tug his arm away, but the horse tried to swallow his hand. "H-HEY! Give me my arm back."

He finally snatched his hand away, staring at it in disgust. The horse let out another noise, seemingly happy, before licking Megumi's face.

"How wonderful.." he rolled his eyes in obvious sarcasm.
