Patchy Curse

Akane's pov

"Yoo Akaneee WAKKEEE UUUPPPP~ WE HAVE ADVENTURES TO DOO" Gojo's voice while pulling my blanket away

Lately they've all been training a lot more since the event is happening in a few more days and endurance is not my most favorite thing in the worldBut they sure as hell want it...I think I'll just make them practice flexibility today...

"WAKE U-AGHH" I pushed what ever jumped on me to a nearby wall and eventually woke up

"Why...?"

"ADVENTURE!! Also it's almost noon~"

"YEAH LETS GOO!!!!"

"No"

"BUT IT'S MY FIRST MISSION?! DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE ME?!??" Yuji pouted with puppy dog eyes near my futon knowing I would cave in

So I closed my eyes

"Just tell me what happens later..." I mumbled only to have my foot dragged off making me dig my nails to the floor boards

"Oh come on~ it'll be fun, Yuji give the coffee and cake"

"Yes sir!" He went over to my hands and pealed them off from the ground to give a cup and a plate...

I peaked up seeing his ugly smile...well at least they picked out a nice cake....his first mission huh..? Wonder if he'll be ok, with that thing he ate I won't be surprised if that volcano head shows...but Sukuna doesn't seem like to type to join a group ngeh I mean really what are the chances of him meeting them anyway

I pulled my ankled from his grip and grabbed my breakfast before getting up

"Wow... your first mission after being dead... seems like yesterday I was trying to break your spine" I asked while eating the cake piece

"Because that was yesterday...you twisted me like a pretzel to get more energy flow..."

"Ahh right, so where are we going?"

Right when I said that we arrived at someone's place...somehow I feel like I should know who lives here-

"This is Nanani Kento~ ex-salaryman Jujutsu Sorcerer"

Pft....oh no I do know him...he he knows that I know him

Don't laugh

Don't laugh....

"PFFFHFHFH WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR GLASSES BANANAMIN?!??"

"Firstly, Please don't call me that, second, why is she here...and tell her to not call me that"

"I go to this school now~ isn't that great~" I smiled making him burst a blood vessel

"Oii Akane...why do so many old people hate you.." Yuji whispered to me

"It's a talent~"

"She was partially the reason I quit my job and went here..."

——a few years back——

I met him when I was buying some pastries from a shop when I noticed he actually has cursed energy lingering around him

So I talked to him to try and pursue a different path

"You have the ability of an exorcist but you're a sad business man? Seriously what are you even doing with your life? It's so sad"

"...are you talking to me?"

"Yeah who else is eating a sandwich in front of me"

"You are a child, what do you know about me"

"I'm a kid that can probably kick your ass, unrestrained negative energy, weak body, you're more of a child than me" I laughed as veins start pop on his head he slammed his sandwich down and glared

"Listen, I make more money, I am the adult here. You can't talk to me like this"

"Oh my god guess what I just did? I just talked to you like that~ anyways thanks for your wallet~" I got away before he can yell more curses at me

This continued for a few years until I eventually heard of a new sorcerer who was an ex salarymen

——back to now——

"And now we're friends~"

"No we are not"

"Wait...why do you call him Bananami..."

"I once fell from a banana peal when we first fought-" he slammed the blade to my head sending me a several feet to the ground, "-she has been using it constantly ever since"

"It was hilarious you should tr-" I got cut off by another hit that send my entire self in the ground

"Don't mind her, we should greet each other first, nice to meet you, itadori-kun"

"O-oh yeah, nice to meet you too"

"God you're still so rigid..." I mumbled while pulling myself out from the ground

"I studies at Jujutsu Tech and one thing I learned is... JUJUTSU SORCERERS ARE SHIT"

"Heh...?"

"So then I worked at your typical company, and one thing I learned...IS THAT WORK IS SHIT"

"SERIOUSLY?!??"

"If both are equally shit, I'll take the one I'm more suited to. This is also to make that pest of a child go away"

"That's dark..."

"Right??"

"Itadori-kun please don't believe I'm of the same mindset as any of these two. I do trust and have faith in him, and I know status enough to not meddle with her... BUT I DO NOT RESPECT EITHER OF THEM!!"

"HUH?!"

"WHY DO YOU NOT APPRECIATE ME?!"

"I hate the way the higher-ups do things, but I believe in rules and regulations. This conversation is dragging on. In short I don't recognize you as a sorcerer, either. Even if you do carry the bomb we know as Sukuna, please make an effort to prove that you are useful."

"...lately I've been forced to realize who weak and useless I am. But I'll become strong, I have to or I won't be able to choose how I die. I'll make you recognize me even without that advice. Just give me a bit more time~" he smiled while saluting to him

"Say that to the higher ups not me"

"Ah right-"

"Frankly, I don't care"

"OK OK I GET IT"

"Ah Yuji before you go-" I made Gojo hold my things before holding my palm out, "try hitting me"

He grinned pulling back his fist as blue flames came out he threw the punch, first was the impact of the a small impact of cursed energy and his brute force, and the second was the full burst of cursed energy

And my hand lightly stings...

"Ok"

"WHAT THAT'S IT?!??"

"You're fine, now go have fun with the Bananami~"

"Stop calling me that, now come along, Itadori-kun" he said starting to walk away

"WH-WHAT WAIT NO I STIL-THIS IS NOT OVER YOU HEAR ME!!" He yelled at me while running off to catch up with himWhen I want to get my things I saw my cake gone... and frosting on his mouth... that sweet toothed prick

"Here's your coffee~" he cheered as we walked out of his place

"...I hate you so much...is the recording in a safe place? "

"Mhm, there hasn't been any reports so I assume all the students were well?"

"What do you take me for, I healed them up after they basically threw themselves into my trap. Those poor kids are probably traumatized I almost feel bad for them"

"What's holding you back?"

"They fact they were going to kill me first"

"How merciless, so how'd you think he'll do?" He asked as I showed him my palm while sipping my coffee, a small bruise was evident making him 'OoOh~'

"He's slowly absorbing Sukuna's powers so he'll be fine, but are you sure it's a good idea letting him out like that?" The bruise quickly disappeared after I was done with it

"Hmm? You trust Nanami don't you? Didn't you say he was a 'yeah ok' ?"

"His skills is not what I'm worried about, curses tend to tail Yuji you should know that, and lately there are some more prominent ones" I huffed and threw away the empty cup to a trashcan, "he might get into some trouble"

"I'll give Nanamin a heads up~ who would've thought you would care~ is this young love "

"Ehehe maybe~ and who would've thought you to have so much money~"

"Well you see I-Wait when did you get it??" He yelled searching his pockets while I was dangling it in front of him

"When you decided to eat my cake" I smiled throwing it back to him

"B-BUT WHERE IS MY MONEY???"

"You're rich you'll be fine, bye now~"

——a few minutes in Harajuku later——

I want something sickeningly sweet, and there are so many simple curses I can snack on as well~Alright now whoever yells out first, I'll visi-

"Limited edition unicorn crepe~ there are only 4 le-kyaa" I went right in the cafe leaving a gust of wind and lined up which caught the cashier by surprise

"4 unicorn crepe please~ OH also a double shot Americano, and water" she looked terrified because that one crepe looked like it can give me diabetes for 3 generations but wrote my order anyway

After paying I took a seat and not long, a blindingly colorful mess came out from the kitchen, that and coffee with a glass of water

I took some sad floating curses of insecurity, and awkwardness for my dessert

Ahh~ perfect combo-

"Is this seat taken~" hah?

...ok maybe...if I don't notice him he'll go away

"Ooiii Red~ Reddy~ Red girlll I know you can hear me" he said which just made me angrily eat the crepe oh my gOD CAN I EAT MY DIABETIC CREPE IN PEACE YOU RAGGEDY ANNABEL DOLL

"Nee nee can I have a piece-" I jabbed his hand FOR EVEN THINKING HE CAN TOUCH MY CREPE, "wow how violent" he giggled pulling it off in the corner of my eye I saw it...

Cursed objects?...no...those are humans...? Well this is gross and I'm out

"Do it again and I burn it off"

"Is that a threat or a promise"

"Yes" I snapped chugging the coffee and water before taking my the last 3 I have outI refuse to have this walking patchy toast ruin my crepes

After getting out to the cafe I jumped right up to some rooftops, went to somewhere decently far to eat

He smelled...disgusting, rancid really, like rotting flesh, I don't know how long those 'humans' have been with him but their bodies are basically rotting.I would like to play around with him, he seems like a fun guy unlike ones I've seen, and considering we both have somewhat similar tastes in humor we might get along

But don't like playing with people who do human transfiguration...and actually carrying them around

It's like having a morgue as a perfume

"Hehh~ that's rude leaving me alone like that~" he sang making my eye twitch with that smell of his...

"Ah sorry I don't usually talk to strangers"

"Well then let's not be strangers~ my name is Mahito, I heard you're pretty strong despite being half human."

"Ahh really? What else do you know about me"

"I'm glad you asked~"dear god why did I ask that, "Other than that name your classified as, your real one is Akane right?? And your curse centers death"

"Woww seems like you've done your homework...so why are you here-" I trailed off when he got a dried out raisin sized human

...you poor thing...how long were you with this creep

He set one down and made it grow into a child-like creature...wait no this is an actual child... oh come on....I hate kids but I don't want to see them turned to a raisin

"Look~ I made you a little friend, is he cool? Do you like him?" He smiled holding it's shoulders before pushing it to me

It held my arm and reached for my crepe

"Candyy....I wan...T.. cANDdYy p-pweaLease"

Nasty...

I finished my crepe in one bite before lodging my thumb in it's head.The thing started screeching as I dug my thumb deeper which made flowers burst out of its' body, the physical form burns leaving nothing but flowers

His spirit came out from the flowers, smiled before disappearing...rest in peace you lucky bastard

"Wow! What's that?"

"Death...it's sad the last thing that kid saw was you"

"I thought you liked eating these stuff so I thought we can be friends if I give you one~" what ever rumor he heard was dead wrong...and what's with him being friends with someone he's known for 5 minutes it's creepy

"Now here's a query, why should I be friends with you when I can just go on my own?"

"Well we're curses after all~ we should stick together" he said sitting a bit closer making me move further, "I bet those sorcerers are treating you like a pest huh? Are you staying because of your friend, Sukuna? "

"I would say we're just children with knives ready to stab at moments notice"

"Ehh really? Sounds like fun! Why don't you bring him along next time~ we can all go against those annoying sorcerers together~" he cheered swinging an arm around me which gave me a aneurysm

Little prick is going for my soul...?

"Sooo w-" He's cut off by his entire arm rotting

"Checking on my soul?" I arched a brow as a patch of lilies grew where I was sitting and bloomed over to where he was

They tangled themselves onto his shoulders, then down towards torso and legs, locking him down to the roof, he seems to have control to manipulate his body, turning the parts of him to blades, and large spikes to break them apart, only made them dig into his skinI felt his cursed energy transferred to me and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed considering he's relatively new

He's technically stronger than Sukuna at the moment, but he sure as hell will die if he thinks he can win let alone survive

"Listen here Patchy, if you want to talk to Sukuna do it yourself-" I said eating my last crepe, "I'm not a messenger" I glared while wiping away the cream and caramel I got from the treat

Looking back he looked like a skull, trying to regenerate over and over, even going for his tiny humans to do something, he couldn't speak, he couldn't move

I got up and sighed looking down at this sad sight

"Be happy I just had a nice meal..." my finger snapped making the flowers go away, and him to look like a dried fish, "ah nice talk, friend"

Mahito's pov

"Wow...just what on earth did you do to make her so mad...."Geto asked trying to hide his laugh seeing me as a worm after nearly having my soul eaten by those crazy flowers

"She's crazy! She can kill a kid but she won't let me touch her soul??" I huffed growing back my body

"I told you to be more cautious, so what happened?" He asked while sitting next to me

"Well at first I wanted to see if I can swap out her cursed soul with her human one, but... She doesn't seem to really have a human soul?"

"...I see, but her mind is still human no? Can you feel her fears? Anger, sadness?"

"Somehow I felt like I was facing a wall, her face looks constantly annoyed with everything I do, it's bumming me out! I THOUGHT YOU SAID SHE WAS OK WITH CURSES" I huffed finally growing my legs, he looked around and saw one of the humans I experimented somehow survived

"Her curse specializes death, and since you're holding their souls captive, delaying their end, is probably something that angered her" he said before giving it to me

So I should approach her differently then...? This may be harder than I thought...I didn't think she would actually be accepted by the sorcerersThe fact I can't read her negativity is harder, this is probably because she's not entirely human....

For now all I know she acts on her own accordance, since she isn't being watched or anything, and that she has significant pride in herself

"It seems she only cares what interests her... In this case her the crepes, then there must be a reason she's still in that place. The Sukuna vessel maybe? So in other words if he's gone so will her 'entertainment' "

"So you're going take on the vessel first then? So she'll have to follow her 'entertainment' " he asked as I grinned him

That's the plan

———quick bonus scene———

Akane's pov

"Here's your official student card Akane~ now you can stop stealing my wallet~" oh? I put Nobara down after twisting her body

"So...what I can just pay food using this? What does special mean?"

"HAH?! YOU GOT WHAT?!??"

"Oh so you're alive?" I turned back seeing Maki playing dead again

"What have you been doing to these kids...?"

"Gymnastics..." Megumi groaned while facing the ground, "I can't feel my crotch..."

"I think you broke him...I've never heard him use that word..."

"Oh I barely started we were only doing stretches, we haven't even gotten in the real thing..."

"WHAT?!?"

"Well bye kids" with that Gojo left leaving them to my mercy
