Chapter 10
Yua froze.
It was shortly after breakfast when Suiryu called for Yua to follow him. "I got a big surprise for you!" he teased, but that evil smile meant something else completely. However, she trusted him and followed. As they left the village and went to an open field, she came to a drastic stop.
It was just the other day when she saw him face to face in his true form. Sukuna took aim for her first the moment he saw her, Choso, Junpei and Tanso were the first to come to her aid. Biding time for her to get away or even just to hold him off for a moment. She was stunned Geto even go in on the fight before Nanami and Muta along with Toji however prevented him from killing her when the others fell. He came close too, then, the Itadoris arrived just in time to stop him.
Yet still, he startled her. This bastard that turned her own family member against the whole clan since things didn't go his way. This asshole encouraged him to do it all, then, her ancestor did it all in his name, for HIS sake.
Sukuna peered her over, but smirked. "To think you became this weak without the dragon that your family hid behind…" he said mockingly, yet that look in his eyes and lick of his lips bothered her still. "Mmm, good thing I didn't get to you yet… that dessert could be a lot bigger in a few months right?"
"HEEL!"
Suddenly, Sukuna was prostrating himself before her!
Suiryu stood behind him be bore a rather serious look on his face. "To utter such words in front of me is your first mistake. Just so you know. I have NO issues in beating you within an inch of your miserable, damned life… and rest assured. I will take EVERY opportunity that I can get to do so when called for." Suiryu said in a warning tone. "But that's not my intention today… today… the King of curses is going to beg, prostrate and plea with every fiber of his being to become a man servant to Yua Tooru!" he decreed.
He snickered to the order. "Oh really? Why would I pledge myself to serve her? You may have power over me, but she doesn't!"
"Is that backtalk I hear?" Suiryu asked as he stood before him. "Hmm, that's not nice. I think you need to know your place…" his right foot suddenly raised up and came down on Sukuna's head! The ground crushed under him, he screamed aloud in pain to it all before Suiryu took his foot back. "Want to try that again?"
He snickered. "You think bashing my head in will make me submit? Go ahead! Do it! Do it until I die!" he protested.
Suiryu leaned down and said. "Now… where's the fun in that?" he asked in a sadistic tone. "No, we are going to stand here, all day if need be until you submit to Yua to be her servant." He said. "And rest assured, I have ALL DAY to do this."
"Suiryu, it's okay I don't want him…"
"Now, now, Yua, you need to have someone tend to you. Gojo can't always be around…"
Suddenly, Sukuna paused. "The six eyes… she and him… Oh… this just got interesting…"
"Down boy…"
CRUSH!
The ground caved in a good two inches forcing Sukuna deeper into the earth. "Yes, you heard right, she and Satoru got married and she is having his child. Which is why she needs a servant to keep an eye on her and her baby. We are all rather busy so I am going to break you and ensure you serve her to the best of your abilities…"
The curse sorcerer snickered aloud. "Me… serve her? I said before, you are better off to kill me. Why would I submit to the likes of her!" he said defiantly.
"Suiryu, seriously…" Yua tried to say gently. But he refused to step back from the notion.
"Yua is like a mother to me…" he said bluntly. "And just so you know, I know what a mother's love is. It's powerful and amazing… I nearly feel bad that you will never experience it… nearly." Suiryu said. He began to stalk him, slowly walking around Sukuna and saying. "But, as such. I must make certain she is taken care of and protected. The jujutsu council themselves have tried to take her out, hell even Gojo's own clan will make such attempts. As such, I want someone to protect her. You would be a perfect guard dog, your life could end at any moment looking after Yua, since I fully expect you to put it on the line if she is in any sort of danger." Suiryu then leaned in and teased. "Just because you cannot take your own life, doesn't mean someone else can't do the task for you… might as well die for something rather than your own greed"
As strange as it was, there came a look of interest. Perhaps it was Sukuna thinking he has a way out now of this. "You do now?" he asked curiously.
"But that's just my option…" he said offhandedly. "But at the moment, you are still not humble enough, so I doubt we are going to go through with it…"
"WAIT!" he protested.
Yua was even startled by Sukuna sudden outburst.
Suiryu smirked. "You may stand, if you can."
Pulling himself from the earth, he looked to Yua with a slimy grin. "I… pledge to serve you…" he said in a sadistic tone.
"Not humble enough."
BASH!
Suiryu grabbed the back of his head and slammed him to the ground. "Speak from the heart, it's beating in your damn chest again for a reason." He scolded.
After spitting out a mouthful of dirt, he tried again. "Yua Tooru… permit me to serve you…"
BASH!
He was forced six feet into the ground by the strike!
Suiryu shook his head to him. "Tis, tis, still not humble enough, get it together or I am accidently going to send you to hell alive." He ordered.
She watched as Sukuna pulled himself out of the hole and trembled. He was prostrating on his own. "Please, great and wise Yua Tooru. Clan of the forgotten dragon, the keepers of the platinum flame… I beseech thee. Allow me, Ryomen Sukuna to become you most humble servant. To serve you, mind, body and soul with everything I have!"
Shit, that sounded sincere!
Yua froze as Suiryu nodded with great approval. "That sounds MUCH better than before. But you need to go one farther…"
"What?" Yua and Sukuna asked at the same time.
Suiryu began to surge, his curse marks suddenly appeared and turned an odd silver color, that alone startled Sukuna! "What… why are you glowing!" he demanded.
"You're not the one asking the questions here… and we're not talking about that right now," He suddenly grabbed Sukuna's right dominate arm, Then, he gently reached for Yua's hand. She froze as the silver in Suiryu's marks began to ooze like liquid. A small bit of the silver came on to her hands, forming a ring on each of her pinky fingers. The rest went to Sukuna, gathering and then forming into a cuff on all four of Sukuna's wrists. "There, that's good." He decreed.
"What… what is this?!" Sukuna demanded.
"Consider this a your slave contract in a sense, but… on a whole different level. This will make you comply to Yua's wants and needs. Think of it like another collar, except this is bounded with her… No one else will have control over you like us but her, it's also what I have programed you to do," he said with a wicked grin on his lips. "Like tasks and chore, you will be compelled to do without being asked, even if she says no, you are still going to do them, and as such, to the best of your ability and proficiency!"
"What sorcery is this? There is no jujutsu with that kind of power!" he protested.
Suiryu smirked once more. "Now there is, I just created that."
This was disturbing even to Sukuna. "Suiryu… is this really necessary?" she asked with concern. "I do appreciate it, but still…" she was distrusting of this bastard before her.
Suiryu nodded. "With the hell he has put your family through, this is the very least I could think of for him to do. Now then, chop, chop!" Suiryu said clapping his hands together at Sukuna. "Yua needs lunch, you really dragged your feet there in submitting to her."
She was getting hungry, just as she was about to stand up. She was swept off her feet!
Sukuna was carrying her!
"What's stopping me from crushing her?" he asked of Suiryu.
But that devious smile on Suiryu's lips made him reconsider the notion instantly…
Even so, Yua herself wondered what is stopping this madman from crushing her too!
"Well, if you are THAT curious, go ahead and try." Suiryu said in an uncaring tone.
He smiled wickedly. Yua froze as his fingers twitched, but that alone made Sukuna crumble to his knees! He caught himself before hitting the ground, yet, the look of pain on his face… it even startled Yua!
"Suiryu!?" She demanded.
"Relax, it won't kill him." he said and waved off her concern. "It's the rule he is bounded by with his shackles. As long as you are here, alive and ANYWHERE in the world… well… any thoughts he has of harming you or those you care about, come back to him four folds. Even if he THINKS about it… he will feel pain." He said and grinned once more.
"You… you ingrate… to think you were part of me…" Sukuna growled.
"Not anymore… but I can be just as vicious as you." Suiryu replied. "Now… chop, chop. Take Yua to get some lunch!" he ordered.
He recovered from the ordeal, slowly he stood once more and carried her to the communal kitchen. "This is humiliating…" he muttered along the way. "I am the King of curses… how did it come to this…"
She didn't say anything, not that he would care about what she has to say or agree with. But also, she didn't want to offer any sort of comforting words to the likes of him!
