Akira was laying on her bottom legs as she seemed to be gasping for air. She seemed scratched up; her long blond hair a mess. Twigs, leaves, and dirt were tangled in her hair as well. Her fist were on the ground as Sukuna stood right in front of her. "Is that all you got?" He'd mock and Akira gritted her teeth. "Come on. You're not a special high rank person here for no reason. And to think you talked so big." It was obvious he was trying to provoke her. Sukuna's eyes drifted over to you and Mei who stood quite the distance away. He gave a dangerous glare that sent shivers down your spine. But, he didn't say anything as his eyes went back to the girl in front of him.

Suddenly Akira threw a blade towards Sukuna; which he easily caught with both of his fingers. She pushed her small frame off the ground and lunged towards him. She'd punch to the right, and he'd dodge. She'd swing towards the left, and he'd dodge. Fuck, she'd even do a whole gamer hit combo only for Sukuna to easily dodge. The worst part about the whole thing is he kept a grin on his face, hands in his pockets as he dodged.

"More," he'd say as she'd tried to hit him again. "Keep it up." He'd nod approvingly before Akira jumped back and pulled out the other knife from her pocket. "I thought this was a fair fight?" He'd question and Akira was going to ignore him until he appeared right behind her. "Fair fights only mean that both teams get equal hits, right? Not like you hit me, anyways." And just like that.

Poor Akira got launched into the damn sky.

"Oh gosh-!" You gasped out realizing how bad this was. Currently, you were holding back Mei from jumping into the fight and getting her ass beat as well. "Let me go! She need my help! Ugh! Do something! (Y/n)! Hurry!" Mei would shout as she gripped your arm harshly. The sounds of Akira being punched above made you cringe: but you didn't interfere. You had to think smartly about this. If you just run into battle, you all get your shit rocked. Sukuna has been treating you nicely—but he's an old evil curse?! He wouldn't mind killing you! But that wasn't the issue. The glance he gave you upon seeing you and Mei standing there seemed like a warning. As if telling you not to interfere no matter what.

You just needed more time to think. If it came down to where it seemed like Akira was truly on the ground ready to fucking die—of course you'll step in.

Soon Akira's body was thrown into the hard ground. She skid across the ground before her body bounced up from the harsh impacts and she rolled and hit the ground repeatedly. Finally, her body collapsed on the green grass and it seemed hard for her to move. Sukuna went ahead and took relaxed steps towards her. "Well? Get up." He'd start but she was unresponsive. Sukuna rolled his eyes before poking her shoulder with his foot, "c'mon. I'm sure you still have some sort of burning fighting passion in you."

Akira, with shaky arms covered in cuts and bruises, pushed herself up weakly. She was now laying on her bottom legs as her hands rested in her lap. "You can go ahead and kill me."

Your eyes widened and Mei began to tug at your arm harshly as you tried your best to hold her back. "Akira!" Mei would yell and oh how it pained your heart to keep Mei away. But it was okay! Because you had a special tactic in mind just in case anything went wrong. "I'm guessing you have nothing to live for, hm?" He'd stare at the girl below him as all she did was nod in acknowledgment. It was obvious every movement she made pained her dearly. Poor girl at least had five broken bones...

"Is this a request? Your death?" The curse would continue the conversation; to which Akira only gave a silent nod once more. Sukuna raised his hand, his index finger out. Wait..didn't he do something like this in a dream you had? Not to mention in the fight beforehand! Your eyes widened in shock at what he was going to do. With the realization hitting you, you pushed Mei back and sprang into action. Your hand slid into the loose sand-like dirt as you ducked and quickly stood up tall. "Distraction! DIRT MOVE!" You yelled before splashing the dirt in front of Sukuna and pushing Akira out the way.
