Chapter 11

It was another failed attempt to escape.

Despite the wolf no longer being in the room. Xing felt his best chances of escape was now. Yet throughout the day, he was tormented by these curse users! He has wanted to retaliate so badly, yet at the same time, he didn't have complete control or understanding of this body. "Why is this so complicated?! If a mere boy could control this amount of power I should be able to do the same…" he muttered to himself.

The extra arms that he thought were interesting at first have now become a pain in the ass! He couldn't use them like a different set of limbs, they instead mimicked the dominate arms in every motion. "It doesn't matter, I will have a long time to train myself to use these limbs. For now, it's best I escape…"

Listening about, he heard nothing. It sounded as if everyone had fallen asleep. With a devious grin, he ventured to the window and was about to slip out… Until his bare foot hit something soft and fluffy again!

He froze as his eyes peered down. Only to lock on with the same familiar yellow eyes he saw in his room the night before! "What the hell is this!?" he growled and was quick to retreat back into the room.

Perhaps the front door would be more simplistic.

Xing did just that as tip toed to the front door of the dorms. He was able to slip out without incident and sighed with relief. The smile returned to his lips, he was free to escape now.

Yet, as he turned, he ran into someone!

Startled, he stumbled back and came face to face with Suiryu. "Couldn't sleep?"

"Oh… hey… yeah… no," he said in midst rambling. "I just had a rough day and my mind wouldn't settle to say the least…"

"You haven't finished your side of the deal."

He froze, is that why Sukuna was awake?

"I know, I haven't had the opportunity…"

"Make one," he demanded. "My patients only lasts so long, you of all know that, don't you, brat!" Suddenly, Suiryu placed a single hand over top of his head. He felt the claws slowly sink into his scalp. But he didn't draw blood yet. "Don't… keep me waiting…"

He was released as Suiryu remained were he was, staring out over the courtyard.

"Uh… are you not going to bed?" Xing asked.

He shook his head. "Got too much to plan for when this is all said and done. With Gojo gone, there is NO ONE who can stop me…" a brief smile came over his lips as he turned to Xing once more. "Not even you,"

He froze to the decree.

It was as if ice went down his back as the glare upon Suiryu only intensified, his grin became more fanged and demonic the long Xing looked upon it. It was the motivation he needed to go back to bed and plan his escape far more carefully!

Locking the door behind him, he began to think. "I got to get out of here… perhaps my best bet is to get Gojo's body…" but then a moment of pause came over him. "Why can't I sense the dragon in this boy?" Xing has been in powerful curse and divine users before. Instantly he can assess their powers, know what they can do and how to use their own energy by the time he takes over. But this boy, reading his abilities is like trying to walk through a brick wall! He couldn't understand how or why he isn't able to obtain his power. At the same time he wondered if this is what Suiryu meant that he won't be able to stop him?

"How am I going to obtain Gojo's body if I can't control or gain this brat's abilities?!" he muttered to himself.

He will have to think it over, but for now, he was tired. The day wore on him, so much happened and yet, he couldn't help but feel this was all planned somehow!

Xing slept rather peacefully, that was until morning.

The door to his room burst open, before he could open his eyes, he heard. "MORNING BROTHER!" and was jumped on!

His mattress dipped, and then sprung him up into the air, only to bounce off the roof and back onto the bed! He dropped to the floor shortly after only to look at a very happy and cackling Suiryu. "HAHA GOT YOU!" he cheered before running out of the room.

Xing was more confused than ever before. "What the hell…" he muttered. "Am I really dealing with Sukuna or a child?"

His body was battered from the day before, which was odd. Shouldn't a demon vessel be far more durable than this? Everything ached to say the least. The damage done yesterday was still noticeable on his body. Still, a job is a job at the moment. "I'll unlock this child's secrets soon enough… OW my back!" he muttered as his spine suddenly snapped.

Xing wondered into the kitchen, but found no one there. "Huh, where is everyone?" he muttered.

Before he could even make something to eat, the door burst open to the dorms! "Okay, whose the lucky winner today?!"

He froze to the voice. 'Satoru Gojo?' he thought.

Six eyes suddenly stood in the room, staring uncomfortably close to Xing. His smile was all the more haunting. "There he is, the lucky student that gets to train with their sensei ALL DAY today!" he said with a bright smile.

"Train? It's the weekend!" he protested.

Satoru's smile didn't vanish. "Yet, but you know the rule, the first one up on a weekend, gets to train with me! Why do you think everyone else is still in their rooms?"

He froze.

Suiryu set him up!

He swallowed his sneer and curse words for the moment before smiling warmly at Six eyes. "Oh, right, THAT tradition," he said as he tried to play it off. "Actually, it was on purpose. I want to work with my sensei today," he lied.

Satoru was grinning like a fool. "As expected out of my favorite student! Eat up and we'll get started!"

He had no choice but to agree. He made a quick breakfast, but found it strange that Satoru refused to leave the room as he did. He kept looking down at his watch rather impatiently. "Come on Itadori, I've seen you eat faster than this!" he protested.

He opted to eat a little faster, the sooner he gets this over with the sooner he can get the hell out of here. 'I'll study six eyes today, then I will make my move the moment I know and understand his methods. It can't be THIS difficult…" Xing thought to himself.

He finished the meal. "Okay, let's go!" he announced.

Suiryu peered out his window and saw the thief and Satoru head off for training. He left his room shortly after as Nobara and Fushiguro were in the kitchen. "So we got Satoru distracting him for a while, we need to up or torture methods on him…" Suiryu said offhandedly.

"Don't go into his room," Megumi already warned.

Nobara and Suiryu paused and stared at him oddly. "What?" She demanded.

"Don't go in his room," He said again in a calm tone.

Suiryu was grinning. He already rigged the room. "Very well then, perhaps I will see if Mika will spar with him today and kick his ass…"

Nobara nodded in agreement. "I refuse to eat his cooking anymore, it's disgusting! How did you manage to eat it?" she asked Suiryu.

He shrugged. "Like my bro, I am not picky and will eat about anything. Sukuna ate people, so…"

The two froze. "He… ate people?" Nobara whispered.

"Yeah… I have no intention of seeing what people taste like, rest assured. But it's not the worst thing I could recall consuming… hmm… I think we need to get the brothers involved too…"

"Why?" Megumi asked.

"Well, they could torment him a little. One of them manipulates flesh… we can make a gross game out of it… like flesh ball or something… Oooo, that does sound like fun."

However the two didn't share on the idea that a game involving flesh would be considered 'fun' in their books. Suiryu however was already pacing about the kitchen, thinking of the rules and what not to use in this 'game' of his.

"That aside, how much longer are we going to have to entertain this notion?" asked Fushiguro. "The more I talk to this guy, the more creep out I am."

Suiryu nodded. "I know, I want my brother back too. But we can't do anything until we know the souls are done being saved. I don't even know how many they have to liberate let alone how many they have already freed…"

"Hello? Is this working?"

Suiryu froze.

In fact the room froze. "Uh… Suiryu…" Nobara said with worry and pointed to the left side of his face.

He peered down and saw a mouth…
