Let me Dream

Akane's pov

"-OH I KNOW, when you were 10 you got food poisoning because you tried cookin-"

"Ok ok that's enough..."

"Shit really? You're already convinced I'm not Sukuna? Ehh oh I like eating people, and fuck gender I'll go for any hole"

"...that's quite an impression but I doubt the guy knew I tried actually eating stone soup"

"That's because I'm an outstanding doctor~ and don't worry so much, do you see even as inch of blood or skull in this place?"

Well...he isn't wrong

This place apparently is 'his heaven' whatever the fuck that means, but none of us seem to have our cursesI would know considering both of us look very much human with no extra limbs or tattooes

"No..."

"That's because this is me we're talking about, does that mean you're done screaming...?" The old man asked peaking down while I was still face-planted on the soil to breath in dirt I'm experiencing a lot of confusing emotions that I'm unsure how to handle so I've just been laying down for what feels like an hour

"I still have a lot of screams I want to let out... but I don't want to spoil it what little time I have with tranquility "

"Ahh right, you did everything I told you shouldn't in the span of a week or so"

"Oh fuck off, you should know it's hard to not be involved with the elders when the guy you dumped me to literally works for them..."

"Yeahh, I didn't really expect him to get you in the school, but at least he hates them as much as I do~"

He laughs and I really just want to snap his neckI don't really know what to say or do to a guy who just disappeared from my life months back only to just...pop up out of no where and is sort of, kind of the reason I'm in this mess

Though I was the one who got swayed by that beanstalk's offer for free rent, food, and money bUT THIS OLD SHIT STILL NEEDS TO AT LEAST GET A BROKEN ARM

"Oi brat what's with that scary look" I took a breath and got up glaring at him

"...say can I break your leg?"

"What? Fuck n-" he got cut off by me sucker punching his nose and kicking his crotch

Hahahahah

I took a seat on this lovely porch he has in the middle of nowhere while he was writhing in painThis really is a paradise I wish I never woke up

"You....you fuckin' arsehole..."

"You're a part of the reason I'm in this mess and looking like an angsty emo clown with black eyes" he groaned getting himself back up while moving few inches away from me

"Oi watch it! I used to look like that too"

"Yes exactly my point, at the very least you can cover it up. I don't think I can even do that anymore..." I sighed rubbing my temples feeling a mild migraine coming up"As much as I love pissing people off I don't have anything 'normal' going on and this boring flesh of a body is the only normal thing I have left..."

"So you made a deal with Sukuna in hopes he can control your curse for you?" He asks, putting his chin to the palm of his hand

"Mhm, that's where our deal happened...which I guess only worked on the behalf of me not dying"

"Hahh he's not really the best when it comes to vows...with all seriousness he's a dick" he glared to the distance and snapped his fingers making a bottle of sake appear along with a cup of coffee

Ah right

'His heaven'

"He just can't calm down, always has to be in the next fight, the next blood bath, I can't even have a good meal without him complaining I should eat humans..." he grumbled opening the bottle of sake and chugging it down"Seriously why even bother with the guy, when I already have a spot here saved for you"

"Ye-wait a minute does that mean you wanted me to die??"

"Hey don't blame me I've seen your soul pop in here at least 2-3 times ITS FUCKING CREEPY" he yelled while pulling on to my ear making me hiss slapping his arm so he'll let go

"OW OW OW WHY IS THIS MY FAULT?!??" I yelled back elbowing his rib making his eyes bug out as he slowly lets go, "And by the way I AM NOT GOING TO DIE BEFORE I KILL THE LITTLE BITCH THAT DID THIS"

"...you came back to life out of spite?

"Ehh more or less, I have some special grades to kill, and old people to send in an early grave" I smiled taking the coffee cup he graciously provided making him laugh smugly

"Well look at you being some kind of tyrant~ heh well it's no surprise there seeing how awesome I am" he cooed punching my shoulder multiple times and probably dislocating it"Ah but you should take out Kenjaku first"

"Kenjaku?"

"The pickled brain thing that keeps coming to get us into his cult"

"Huh so it has a name...gross...well I was planning on killing him last because the body he has can manipulate curses" I sighed drinking my coffee...hahhh I heavenly mild cocaine

"Ah then why not find angel? What's the name ehh Hana? "

"...angel?"

"Yeah I told you abo-ok I shouldn't even be surprised you forgot, as far as I know Hana had a curse technique that can eliminate curses"

"Hoohh? Sounds easy enough, is she sealed away or what? " I hummed where he just replies by looking away and silently drinking his sake...

He did something

I swear he probably did something to this Hana chick

"Uhm...yeah easy, but...you know how I move around from one village to another because of who I am and Suku-"

"...get to the point..."

"IM GETTING THERE!! After a few accidents here and there...and because of people knowing I would eat people's curses at times.....Angel was task to hunt me down..."

"..."

"And angel also knows what my curse looks like so...do you see where I'm headed with this..."

"You mean to tell me...the one I need at the moment is in an endless search to kill you... And since you're not there...and I learned from you...it's now my problem??"

"...surprise? OH COME ON DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK!!" He whined while I just sat quiet and drank this never ending coffee mug, ignoring his face

Because I want to punch it

And see his tongue fall out

"LISTEN IM PRETTY SURE SHE IS SEALED OFF SOMEWHERE SO IT ISN'T THAT BAD"

"...I DON'T SEE HOW THAT HELPS?!?? Hahh well I'll think of 'Angel' as plan B if anything fails"

"What really is your plan after absorbing the body? Don't you still need the other fingers?"I think I just choked I need what? Other what ??how do you mean good sir?

"Unrelated question but why do we need other fingers?" He just takes a very deep breath and drank a lot from his bottle again

"...if you were building a chair and forgot to add in nails would the chair stand...?"

"...I can use duct tap-OW" I hissed rubbing my mildly bleeding forehead, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!??"

"BEING AN IDIOT!! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST MAKE A BODY WITHOUT ALL THE INGREDIENTS??!"

"FOR FUCK SAKES ITS JUST FINGERS?! CAN'T HE GROW THEM ON HIS OWN?!?" I groaned and he looked like he was ready to strangle me alive

"You...you are..." he took in deep long breaths trying to describe how much I am a disappointment while I continue on my coffee

"It's ok take your ti-" I covered the sides of my head as he kicked me, throwing me off the porch and into the his garden

Ouch

How could he hurt a defenseless little girl

"HEY FUCK YOU OLD MAN IM A HELPLESS CHILD"

"NO YOU ARE TURNIP BRAINED, IMBECILE" t-turnip brain...? "HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW YOU NEED TO HAVE ALL 20 TO MAKE THE BODY"

"You serious, reaper?" We both stood frozen for a while and slowly jerked our heads to the source of the voice

Did...my subconscious automatically just brings him along??? DOES THIS MEAN HE NOW KNOWS I ATE A ROCK ONCE??

"First you talk shit to me in my face and now this ?! You didn't even bothering telling that brat?!!"

"First of all that's my soon to be anarchist so watch it, second...how dare you look like her"  His hands was twitching to bury Sukuna's head in the ground

"Also why the hell are you here??"

"We didn't switch right? So I'm clearly not breaking any rules here, I need to talk with that one" he said with a bored out look while pointing at me, making us both look at him with pure annoyance"can you two stop looking so disgusted"

"You did used her as a free ticket...so yeah we both are keeping the face..."

"It's not like I want to stay in this shit excuse of a place, no curses or powers allowed bullshit, and time makes no sense" he groaned making me furrow my brows

"Wait wait...no sense...how?"

"We've been sitting there for a whole day and I'm bored as hell IT TOOK FOREVER TO GUESS YOUR FUCKING RULES"

"I set up a those rules, but looks like I'm gonna have to revise it" the old man shrugged making Sukuna growl

", go and drink your sake drunkard, Oi brat someone's with Uraume"The hell!? That shouldn't be possible I'm pretty sure I killed everyone

No one could really go in

And she didn't came with anyone...

"Ok it's not like I don't believe you...I just don't like yo-"

"It's the patchwork" OH FUCK SEWAGE HOTDOG WATER SMELLING PRICK WHY THE FUCK IS HE HERE"He shrunk his soul to a minuscule scale, you probably confused that with traces of his since Uraume's been working close with them"

Huh...well... now I'm partially sad but mostly pissed that fucking asshole tricked me and probably did the same to Uraume...

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY TRICKED ME

Considering both mine and this sausage's mental states are here...that leaves my body to as a shell...So rather than a switch I guess it's more of a temporary possession? Eh no that's basically what a switch is

Will this even work?

"You done day dreaming?!" He slapped the back of my head making me sigh

"Fuck off, I'm lending you my body for a minute but I don't think you'll be able to use your powers, will that be an issue?"

"Tch fucking brat who do you think yo-" he suddenly disappeared out of thin air making just stare at the old man

"My hand slipped" he shrugged and continued to drinkWell I'm not really complaining, in fact it's creepy that he now knows a good portion of how much of an idiot I was

I took a seat next to him again as he handed me a new cup of coffee

"...say...are you serious about reviving the guy?"

"If I wasn't do you think I would go this far?"

"Nope, but you do know the consequences after reviving him right...? You're still a kid with a future you know"

"Personally, I don't think of it as a punishment for me...because unlike you he isn't someone I particularly cherish" I sighed taking a sip of coffee while looking at the distance, "and I never had plans for my future anyway"

"Hahh just don't want do something you'll regret alright? At the very least promise me that"

"I may not know how to make a living body, but I do know what happens when I do. Ahh by the way how long does this usually take"

"Beats me I've never done it, back then people usually say a day or two, why? You in a rush?"

"Ehh kinda, I gotta go back to Tokyo by halloween before  that brain thing turns back time or something"

"Hah? Why?? It's boring and food doesn't even taste as good"

"EXACTLY!!"

Uraume's pov

A whole day has past she last went down there, she did say it will take a while considering Master Sukuna's curse is any exceeds curse users or sorcerer

Though that being the case

She has been exceeding expectations lately... then again I saw her losing it when her body changed

As I arrived back from the woods for another 'meal' for her I saw that crater she created omits a red glow, and I can't help but feel I should not take a step closer The atmosphere surrounding it is incredibly tense and ominous...I actually feel sick to my stomach...

"Fuck...off"

"Wow still a foul tongue in the presence of someone of higher class than her, she truly is a strange student" I sighed putting my chin on the palm of my hand

"Mhm quite a strange one" what the-MAHITO?? No one has been able to go through so how the hell... "Yoo~ did I surprise you? I made my soul so minuscule she probably didn't notice" he laughed making my eye twitch

"Did I not say I would watch her only if I'm not followed..."

"I won't be long, Geto's kinda worried how you are considering it's been a day since we sent you off, he was worried you might be moving sides~"

"That's ridiculous, but I also can't break her trust with me...as dull as she looks she's quite preceptive"

"Ohh~ that's why you gotta bunch of these curses for her huh? So how's she doing in there"

"The child is trying to 'eat' his cursed body" I pointed over the crater, "it's best not t-" his giggles cut me off as he skipped over to look down and the second he did a loud gash could be heard making him jump away,

"Pf-hah...how ridiculous..." he turns to me with half his face was gone which caught me by surprise...I was hoping he would die...

"Nee shouldn't we just kidnap her now?"

"I wouldn't want to engage in something meaningless" my answer made him laugh as he heals his face

"Eh? But it's easy~ you just need to freeze her body and we'll be having both her AND Sukuna easy peasy~" his idiocy knows no bounds....I can't believe I allowed this to happen

"Both the child and Sukuna are in a state of focus, it's not wise to bother either of them, seeing that you just lost half your face just by walking near them"

"I was caught off guard~ now look at it" he pointed to the crater showing that the red glow has died down...did she? Passed??, "let's check it out~"

He took the lead and I had a good distance between us, considering this is a dreadful idea of his, but I don't need him growing suspicion of our plan We took a jump down and strangely...I wasn't able to detect Master Sukuna, or that child's presence...the hell is going on...

"Wooww~ impressive she's doing pretty well huh?" He cheered looking around the rubble and walked closer to her, "eh? Is she de-"

There he was...

I saw Mahito froze as Master Sukuna's marks start appearing on her face...it's still quite peculiar seeing him as a female

"Tch those two are a carbon copy fucking annoying" those two...? He groaned trying to move to no avail, "how the hell does she even fight with flimsy arms..."

...what??

"Ohh~ I see now, she only lent y-"

"Oi shut u-ah" as his eyes met Mahito's black lilies grew up his throat and started wrapping along his body, following the source of his soul "what the hell?! Why doesn't she just do this more often"

"Master Sukuna..." he turns to me with an artched brow...how should I even explain this situation, "I have no excuses...it seems like he managed to shrink his body to a size not even I can fo-"

"Oii Uraume, it's not your fault. If anything it's the brat's fault, and as for you" he grabbed Mahito's hair and glared into his eyes, "you're lucky you this body has heavenly restrictions, but if I see you again...you're dead"

Black lilies popped out his eye sockets as he pulls down the veil to throw him out, before creating a new one

"Master Sukuna, is she doing as she's told? Are you certain she isn't playing tricks?"

"Surprisingly the brat is fine, it's that prick of a teacher she has, not telling the full story"

"...I see" should've known he won't make this easy, but looking at the body it seems like she's handling Master's curse quite well

"Don't worry, it won't be long until I get my body. Me and the brat are going to brawl when it's over, be ready to see me win" he chuckled making me nod in response

"In that case I shall be awaiting your arrival master" I bowed before him, and as I brought my head back up I saw him gone and the process of her absorbing his cursed energy continues

Soon we shall meet again
