Ethereal Connection ♡ ⌇ Sukuna x Reader ⌇ ♡

Chapter 45

Sukuna lets go of her chin and crosses his arms. Y/N took a moment and then reached out for her phone in her pocket. Pulling it out, she checked who was calling her.

"Mr. Ijichi"

Before she could pick up, he seized her wrist and turned it slightly so he could see who was ringing her. Her surprised gaze locked onto their hands before locking onto his gaze.

"Lie,"

Just one word. The tone was as if he was giving an order to his servant. He freed her wrist.

She looked at him, confused on what she should do..what she wanted to do. Though wanting to tell him everything, her fear held her back. Sukuna just stared at her lazily, waiting for her next move. She chaotically just watched her phone ring.

Moments later, Sukuna's voice snapped her out of her daze.

"Answer the cellphone and lie, brat," he demanded with a relaxed voice yet the aura was heavy and domineering.

Y/N's grip tightened on her phone, her confusion overwhelming her. Before she could decide, her phone stopped ringing. Her confused puppy eyes met his gaze.

Sukuna sighed and questioned.

"Are you stupid?"

She looked at him noiselessly. Now unable to make sense of anything around her.

"The cursed spirit that was in here is dead so, the veil has been lifted," he explained, unbothered.

She continued to look at him with perplexed expression.

"That's why that assistant is calling. Would probably be worried on why haven't you two got back to him,"

She looked around and cussed herself for not even noticing that the place had returned to normal. The long spooky hallway now just a distant memory. She again met his gaze, her inner turmoil eating her up.

"Don't you want answers, brat? Lie to him and I will provide you the answers you seek." he encouraged.

Y/N frowned, not believing any of his words.

"And why should I trust you?" she shot back.

"The choice is y—"

"I want to make a binding vow with you," She interrupted him.

Sukuna raised an eyebrow at her sudden demand. Waiting for her to continue on with her thoughts.

"You're gonna answer every one of my question truthfully and in return I will lie about..all this," she explained.

Sukuna couldn't believe what he was hearing. She was making demands? To him?

The thought annoyed him, but he gave in, not too completely.

"I will not answer every one of your question but whichever one I do, I'll be truthful. Is that good enough for you, brat?" he offered.

She was shocked that he even agreed to answer her questions and give into her request, that too so easily. His words made her think, she wanted all the answers, but she wasn't greedy. With a sigh, she willingly compromised, since for her, having some answers was better than having none, especially after all the episodes she had been through.

"Then l—"

Before she could complete, her phone began to ring, she held her phone up and looked at the name. Obviously, it was Ijichi again.

She exchanged a small eye contact with him before answering the call.

Y/N: "Hello?"

Ijichi (worried): "Y/N? Where are you? Are you two okay??"
