Beginnings of a Nightmare

Akane's pov

"Alright that should do it~" I grinned wiping away the blood from my thumb as I slapped the ground, "Tiger Lilies, Fire wall"

That should keep them busy for now~

"...you spent hours just for this temporary barrier? This isn't even the right temple..." they growled as I made my way back to the city to buy myself something

"Hahh how many times should I say this...Senkoji Temple has 2 shrines one being the glorified tourist attraction and this other creepy one"

"But why are you doing this?? You could've made an actual veil instead of wasting time with this?!?" They screeched pointing behind us making me sigh

"Correction it's only been an hour and a half, if I had bring out the actual veil they'll be calling for help"

"And you would lose?"

"Pft the fuck? No, but I hate having my hands dirty in a fight" seriously I used to be able to finish without too much blood drenching me and I can't even get out a fight without my clothes dying on me"If they lower their guard with that shit barrier, then it'll be an easy win with quick deaths~" why do they look surprised at my thought process

"...you set your blood for the temporary barrier as a bluff?"

"Yep~Nothing brings people together more than a common enemy and overbearing pride" I cheered as we finally arrived at our destination Well it's more like mine but I digress

"I understand that but why are we now in this place...?" We were in front of a 24 hour clinic that I'm just so glad exist near the temple

"Ahahaha you see," I pulled open my glasses that made them cringe at the sight,"My eyes are very red as you can see, I need the aid of eyedroppers" I got them back on and made sure my mask covers my face well,

Essentially I need to look like a shady drug dealer but if I to rub my eyes any longer they'd probably just pop out of my eye sockets...

——a few minutes of shopping later——

I went over to the bench with a huff as Uraume appeared in front of me, arms crossed, eyes glaring, and a vocabulary book mouth to degrade me

"You're telling me need that insignificant liquid in order to raise the king...?" this feels like a courtroom...and I would know

"It's not my fault..." I trailed off, taking my glasses off and using two droppers at a time, "...that this shitty curse gives really dries up my eyes..."

As soon as I did I can see...everything...and it is painful... why is it even when people are sleeping I can still hear them...I JUST WANT TO COMMIT A CRIME

WHY CAN'T I HAVE THAT

"Fuck how did the old man deal with this..." I hissed overly blinking my pruned out eyes

"It took him a few years, you should consider trying to be like him in a few hours"

"Ok now you're just being unreasonable...ah it's almost midnight, your hand please"

"...Hah?"

"What? You might get lost, the place is pretty different from how it is centuries ago. Also I don't really know what his body looks like"

"You said you've been there and yet you've never seen it??!"

"Hey! Unlike you I don't like seeing dead mildly rotting things, I usually go to the tourist friendly shrine ~" their face looks absolutely disgusted at my smile

And I'm just enjoying this

"Are you looking down upon me..."

"Hey look it's just an option, you can say no if you like" After few seconds of grumbling they eventually just grabbed onto my hair...well I guess that works too

I gripped on their wrist and saw the body looks like....gross...I snapped of my fingers we're just by the entrance where my blood is still there though it's kinda fadedWonder what kind of dumb shit they came up with

"Ah look at that~the moon is bright up"

-5 more days to the 31st of October-

"Did none of them really took much action with the temporary barrier you set up...?"

"It's a bit faded so who knows what they tried doing" I huffed wiping away the blood stain to get in, then create an actual veil surrounding us and the temple

It's pretty dense so no one would even want to go in, and if they did well...guess they're stuck

We walked in through the entrance and immediately found ourselves face to face by a 2nd grade sorcererWith...Straw doll? Did...did he smear my blood on them...?

"Red Curse, step no further in the holy land or we will use force" this is just a really sad attempt

"...pft...hahahaa sorry sorry I don't mean to laugh, are you here as test dummy-" anndd I have a nail going through my chest

"IDIIOTTT YOU THINK WE WOULDN'T NOTICE YOU LEAVING BLOOD?! THE HELL WERE YOU EVEN THI-eh?" He shuts up when he notices his doll and hands caught fire

Which sent up a domino effect his body catching fire as he runs to the nearest fountain trying to douse the fire

"Oii oii seriously? You gonna cry over this~?" I huffed walking over to see him trying to put out the fireHonestly just how much and how long was he hanging around that one smear it's creepy...

"P-PLEASE H-HE-" he gets cut off his own screams and it's really getting annoying

"Fuck you're loud" I groaned snapping my fingers, stuffing their throats with lilies which shut them up and made them stop moving

Up ahead is incredibly empty so they obviously used this idiot as a test dummy

"Kayy~ Uraume hold my babies please" I smiled handing them a bunch of eye droppers as I grabbed the guy

"Why do we need a dead body..."

"It's not dead yet, also it'll be a useful for later on"

"Like when"

"Like now~" his eyes jolted open when I temporarily healed him, he lets out a blood curling screech that made him sound like a drunk banshee

"HELP ME!! GUYS PLEASE SHE'S INSANE!! SAVE ME I BEG YOU!!! KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER"

"You see guys~ he needs help !! Come onnn HELP HIMMM" I yelled while going by the temple gates...yeah no something's up they would usually scream back at me or at the very least throw something"Guess they didn't really care bout you huh?" I sighed before throwing him in through the gates

And he got annihilated

"Soo another veil huh? An illusion technique...? I can't really see anyone..." I mumbled to myself poking the veil seeing it burn my finger every time I do

"Will this be interrupting your progress...?"

"Hey hey now no need to get so snappy, you always act like I'm some kind of idiot"

I claw on my palms feeling the blood drizzle down, as I walked a few steps back my eyes started glowing...and the veins on my face start popping

Fuucckk I'm going to very much look like shit...

"Tiger Lilies..." I threw the blood through the air and saw it start to congealed to one spot, it started glowing as my hand reached out towards it "Demonic Fire wall"A bright blast exploded in a fiery blaze in front of us and broke their veil along with any god forsaken talismans they have hiding around while also setting a people on fire in the process

They were running around like headless chickens and spouting out curses while trying to find the nearest purification well that got also burned up from the heatI snapped my fingers lilies were wrapping around their throats, and some even popped through their eyes to get their suffering over and done with

We have 10 people who got set on fire from the explosion... I don't really know if they still have any more talismans lying around...

It should be eno-

"Uraume's eyes"

"Heh? Uraume's wha-OH FUCK GROSS YOUR EYES ARE BLEEDING"

"No they're not"

"Y-YES THEY ARE?!? YOUR PUPILS ARE WHITE CAN YOU BLINK??!! FUCKING BLINK YOU BLOODY TAMPON HEAD" my hands were glowing white ready to heal them but they just groaned looking away

"You're over exaggerat-" They got cut off when I slapped their head, healing up their eyes OK OK IT TURNED BACK TO NORMAL

FUCK

THAT WAS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT

"For fuck sakes you scared the shit out of me... you could've said something you know"

"Stop shouting it wasn't anything, and what is a tampon?"

"...uh anyway Sukuna's the one who told me if it makes you feel better"

"Master Sukuna...? I see"...ok well I'll just ignore...whatever that wasI rummaged for some more eye droppers and sigh with relief feeling the tension going down again

"That liquid isn't quite helping your complexion of your eyes..." eh? Complexion of what?

I looked around and saw a pool of bloo-

"OH COME ON" I groaned pulling up my eye lid and got a closer look

It's like that time where he pulled me into his domain again....everything is just black and I have 3 red pupils that are just bulging...and for some reason veins are popping up

"Do not fret, I personally think you look better" ...does that mean they think I look uglier before....

"Hahh I'm gonna need some contacts if it's like this..." I grumbled to myselfAll talismans for this area should be burned off but if they're smart enough to use those who knows what else they're hiding

We walked in as the running bodies burned up,and sure as hell a grade one big boss with a helper of his popped up in the middle of the placeThey cast a simple domain amongst themselves and seems like big boss lady is sharing his reverse cursed technique with the guy...

But~

By the looks of it if I can just remove one from the equation I might just be able to take out all 2

And if things go well maybe the entire place~

"Ohh hoho~ this is gonna be fun" I feel all giddy inside~ , walking towards them, and Uraume not far behind

"Ahh...here I thought you died...did that little friend of yours help?" They glared at the two of us which is hilarious

Because they think that scares me

"Nope~ I take all the credit here now then," I sat in front of them with a smug smile plastered on to my face, "how would you prefer dying ?"

"Oh you young folk are so violent, even that human disguise cannot mask the bloodlust of your eyes..."

"Well I got raised with you people trying to kill me every time I breath, you reap what you sow" her assistant clicked his tongue and shoot a glare

"Because something like you should not exist in our world" andd we got a guy~ let's see how long you can last my mental torment you worm

"Please be careful of your words...do not engage in a battle with her..."

"No no let him speak~ is that inferior complex of his afraid of a youngster like me being better than him?"

"WATCH YOURSELF!!"

"Why are you mad at the truth~?" I pouted seeing his soul's life flash before my eyes

It was very boring

"You trained for years didn't you? But still end up being as a semi grade one ~?"

"SHUT UP!!"

"Again why so mad!? Oi boss lady you're also being held back because of the elders right? They don't like having girls in their boys club~"

"Shut yourself VILE DEMON!!" She screeched as a row of beads went to my neck sending electric shocks making me grip on to them, "YOU ARE USELESS WITH OUR COMBINED POWER-"

"Nee boy...I bet they'll promote you to a special grade 1?" hahaa~ that look of greed~

"DO NOT LISTEN TO HER, STAY IN THE CIRCLE!!"

"Wow gonna take the whole trophy boss? That's just not right~ even after all that he's helped you with in order to get you to a grade 1 sorcerer?" I sighed with a smile seeing his balled up fist shaking

"She used to be your student, wasn't sh-"

"SHUT UP!! SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU BITCH" he yelled going out the circle to tackle me down with cursed imbued dagger

This just made my smile inhumanly wider

I aimed that blade to the beads she has around my neck and grabbed it as he tackles me to the ground

"NO ST-" his master's words got cut off seeing a very obvious dark figure looming the two of themSad to say but it looks but his cursed blade seemed to have touched the King's soul

No one blinked

No one to moved

I don't even think they were breathing

"Did you just touched my soul...with such a dull blade..."

All I can see are their lives flash through their eyes, no words came out of their mouths, all that can be hard are stutters from the man who started it all~

"The king of curses....TELL ME IS HIS SOUL WITH YOU?!!?"

"RED CURSE SPARE HER, PLEASE THIS IS MY FAULT, I-"

"Shhh shut up~" a patch of my favorite red lilies appeared beneath us as my eyes glowed darkly

"Domain expansion; Garden of the Red Spider Lilies"

Ahh~ it's nice to know my favorite flowers are still used for my domain expansion

I easily pushed him off me and got up to look around the place, seeing everything being drained of life is quite the sightRows of red stretched for miles and started crawling on the walls if my barrier

It's pretty creepy

"Impressive..."

"Interesting...you've actually eliminated the entire area of it's life essence" WWWOOOOO DOUBLE COMPLIMENTS FROM 2 TERRIBLE PEOPLE

I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS

"Well we're quite lucky to have the place in the middle of no where ~ so I'm confident in using this technique"

"But you are away of the effects it has upon your body?" Eh? Ah...my hands looked fucked again...and my ears, and legs, and neck, basically my entire bodyWith a huff I pulled back my domain, leaving back nothing but skulls, dead trees, and their temple going ruins

...but I wasn't able to revert my body back... don't even think positive energy can cover them up...

"Akane-sama are you alright?"

"Just craving a nap, t's nothing, the body is somewhere at the back-" my eye twitched seeing a patch of black lilies growing when I move and dying when I leave...

Fun

Just fun

"Fuckk I'm pissed off..."

This can be dangerous...

That pickled brain bitch controls curses and if I actually become a full on curse, things can get messy...Well unless I can get to his soul first...

"Akane-sama...?"

"Ah sorry bout that~ nee Uraume how long are you looking after me?" I asked stretching my back and legs

"I'm free to move on my own, does that trouble you?" They asked back making me hum and slammed my foot to the floor we stand on

It broke apart after the hit, bringing me down to the base where our target is...yep it's way bigger...and very much uglier up close than it is in Uraume's head...

"Ah in that case can you look after me? It might take a while for me to deal with this" their head popped up from the hole above with sparkling eyes...God just how long have they been waiting for this guy...

"Understood, best of luck Akane-sama"

I took a long breath and sat down in front of the dead body, making lilies pop up beneath me again to cushion my seat

"Oi when I get your consciousness out of my head will I get my normal looks back...?"

"Hah? That's what has been putting you in a hissy fit?! "

"Honestly yes, I can't help but feel your existence is fucking up my looks and and my flowers..."

"You make no sense you know that,  shouldn't you be expecting this??" His laugh echoed in my head as his mouth appeared on to my hand"Few fingers was able to calm down that curse of yours WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU EXPECTING WHEN YOU CAST THAT DOMAIN EXPANSION, BRAT??"

I sighed rubbing my temples his laughter is starting to make me sick... and with this mess in front of me it doesn't help my situation at all

From his laughs it's safe to say that thing is the reason this is happening...

"If I get out of this with more eyes I will sell your hair" I growled biting my thumb and drew a line connecting the patch of flowers I was sitting on to his body

Ffuuuuccckkkk it smells worst than his fingers I can't believe I'm so close to this shit

"Oi ungrateful brat stop making that shit ugly face"

"HEY ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU HAVE FOOT FUNGA-hah...?" Wait where am I?

This isn't the temple

It's a nice field open though~ miles and miles of beautiful red lilies~ this is probably one of the prettiest places I've been to in the past few months....

Shit that sounds so depressi-

"Ah you're here, sit down let's play black jack"......What is this?....

"Old man...??" Same fucking hair, face, yukata, shit smelling pipe I keep telling him to stop smoking from

Satoshi Himura...aka the old shit that kind of raised me...aka the pERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD

"Ugh still calling me that even in my death bed?? You're messed up in the head"

"..."

"The hell is with y-DID YOU JUST THROW YOUR SHOE AT ME?!??"

IT TALKS

"WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS?! ARE YOU REALLY DEAD OR AM I DEAD??"

"WHAT NO?! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BE DEAD??? IM THE ONE DEAD YOU IDIOT"

"BUT THAT JUST MAKES MORE SENSE FOR ME TO BE DEAD??!!?? IF I WASNT WHY WOULD I B-OW" DID HE JUST HIT ME WITH MY OWN SHOE???

"YA FUCKER SHOW SOME RESPECT!! FIRST THING YOU DO MEETING ME IS THROW A SHOE?!?"

"WELL WHAT IF YOU'RE SUKUNA IN DISGUISE?!"

"...you fucking brat...COMPARE ME WITH THAT DRAWING BOOK PIECE OF SHIT I WILL RIP YOU A NEW-"

Yuta's pov

"Sensei the fight has been going on for the past 10 minutes...but I can't see anything" I squinted from the binoculars I bought

"But are any civilians involved? Any parts of the city destroyed??"

"No...but it seems like she has someone with her...but I'm not too sure anymore"

"Eh? Who? All 3 are still with me still looking annoyed, you sure it isn't just a corpse hanging on to her?"

I still have no idea why I agreed to this...or why he's no nonchalant about her committing a massacre...

Everything she's doing, no matter what her reasoning may be, is most definitely illegal and immoral Tearing down a temple, reviving the king of curses, mass murder, arson, THE LIST IS BASICALLY ENDLESS

WHY AM I EVEN HERE??

"Yoo Yuta~ you weren't answering your phone" eh

"AH S-sensei??" he snatched out my binoculars and whistled at the sight

"Wow they must've pissed her off, that veil of hers is even preventing sorcerers from even seeing what's she's doing" he sighed giving them back to and just continued to watch the mess

"...sensei...? Why are you letting this slide...?" I just have to ask because this is just way too much, "I know she's your student but isn't this too much..."

...was that a land mine?

He's just quiet and I think he's just silently laughing...why do I need to be involved with psychopaths...

"Well by the looks of things...she's committed on doing a full scale revolution..." AND HE IS OK WITH THIS??? "It would be very troubling if I get involved"

"But sensei-"

"Yuta, you know how I've always wanted to change the Jujutsu World and hated those old hags looming over us~" he sang sitting on the edge of the roof we were hiding in, "she...with her very...outlandishness, is the very answer to those problems"

"This should cross the line of outlandishness, it's a crime..."

"Yeahh...but we're handling something quite challenging, she has her 'death' curse, the 'Red Curse', and the king of curses, it's pretty troublesome to get in the way unless she does something really bad" Why is he making it sound slightly more tame than it really is...

"...she took down a whole temple filled with grade 1 and semi grade 1 sorcerers, she also plans to revive a body...is that not 'bad' "

"Nope" he huffed taking his blindfold off and cursed before covering it again, probably because he still couldn't see what's going on in there, "she could do something way waaaayyyyy worse~"

What the hell does she plan to do..,
