They didn't leave, in fact, after Suiryu made the call, he sighed and made another. The phone ranged once. "What?!"
"When people answer a phone, it's hello." Suiryu said sternly.
"Tch, what do you want knockoff?"
Suiryu smirked. "You know how invested you were in Geto and Naoya's training, well, it's come to an end, Naoya is a divine creature but doesn't like it the least bit… but he's about to have a really bad time… wanna watch?"
There was silence, until he heard a small forced laugh. "You called me for that?"
"You want to see him get tormented right? So, get your ass over here!"
He hung up shortly after, no more than five minutes later did he show up. Wearing a divine mask to hide his features, Sukuna sneered but peered about. "Where's the show?"
"It's about to start, not to worry…" After all, Suiryu has been planning this for a while. In fact, he has been planning this after the party he went to with Nobara. He learned other divine sorcerers have been hounding D'angelo. Many are begging him to help them grow stronger by seeking stronger familiars.
Well, today he let slip to some of the divine users about a special Silky that's come to his attention. The housemaid one, but the power they obtain over said house when established… well… that's something worth looking in to.
They found some trees nearby that gave them a perfect view.
"We're not going to stand there and watch?" Sukuna muttered with disappointment.
"Trust me, it's better to let him think he is all alone. He can't sense us right now… Ooo our first bite!"
The cars began to pull up.
Various people came out of the vehicles, some appeared rather high ended and well to do people. "Huh? Isn't she an actress or something?" Maki whispered.
"I could give a shit at this point." Suiryu whispered back. "But still, if someone in that line of work is a divine user. Knowing them, they are out to ensure they stay looking young… the more familiars one has, the more they can maintain their looks."
Yet, Suiryu was quick to shut up as the show was about to start. Geto was even smirking with anticipation wondering what will happen next…

Naoya sneered as he watched them leave. "The bastard tricked me again!" he muttered. "Now I am back where I fucking started! What the hell is this? A game to him? This is MY LIFE!" He roared in anger.
He sighed, nothing ever goes his way, not to mention, being bounded to that monkey woman for that matter! He would rather die than to be attached to her! Then again… he's already died twice… half of him did, the other half well… sometimes he wish he was dead.
He sat on one of the stones that decorated the front of the estate, he was so discontent with this situation right now, but then, he saw them approach.
Naoya froze as he saw some well to do people came to the front gate.
"Who the hell are you?!" he demanded.
There was a lavishing woman there, she smiled warmly to him as she started to approach… wait… how did she get pass his barrier? She's not a Zen'in!
"My, my the rumors are true…"
Naoya froze. "You can see me?"
"Of course my dear, of course… hmmm, I don't think I have ever seen a creature like you before… the rumored rare Silky I heard about…"
Naoya paused oddly. "How could a rumor spread like that, I just turned into this!" he protested.
Her eyes lit up. "Even better!" She snapped her fingers. "Bring him to me!"
"What? What the hell do you think you're doing here? Not to mention who the hell are you bastards?!"
Her smile didn't vanish.
"I do love it when they are feisty…" she said with a coy grin. "Try not to harm it too much, he needs to be added to the collection…"
"What collection?! Like hell I am going anywhere with you assholes!"
Naoya knew this was strange, weird even. But these men gathered around this woman… they weren't human. He could see them shine oddly from where he stood like an aura. But he was distracted by this, that one had come up beside him rather quickly.
He turned as this guy nearly grabbed him, but stranger still was what he whispered to Naoya.
"Run"
He dodged just in time, and was able to avoid the other trying to grab him from behind. Naoya, for the first time, felt terrified!
He rushed deeper into the Zen'in estate, he knew this place well enough, however, just as he avoided this odd woman, did three old men suddenly show up before him!
"Ooo indeed, it is a rare one!"
"Yes, he will sell at a high price won't he?"
"Then again, creatures like him… they would be better off kept hidden… safe in the hands of an experienced divine user…"
"What the fuck is with these people!" Naoya suddenly froze as he witnessed them do something he though was a lie. Suiryu spoke of these chains they can pull out from their chest over their hearts. They are gold looking manacles and yet, they were eying him.
"First one to grab him, gets to do whatever they want with it!"
"FUCK!" Naoya turned and ran once more, but… they were coming. More and more divine users, creatures, they were surrounding him… he could feel it and he also could sense the growing power against him.
"No… no this can't be happening to me…" he muttered.
Naoya was defenseless. He thought the barrier he set up earlier would prevent people and sorcerers from entering… but they made it pass no problem. Second of all, more of these creatures that have taken human more are coming out of the woodwork. And the humans who command them… apparently they too are sorcerers themselves! And yet, they command the creatures who are hunting him?!
"WHY DO YOU FREAKS WANT ME?!" Naoya shouted in frustration. "I know I'm hot and all, but this is ridiculous!"
They came to a sudden pause. The divine users suddenly realizing they were all after the same prey.
"Hey, this one is mine! I was here first!" the woman from earlier protested.
"First come first serve!" one of the older gentlemen snapped back.
"You all know how the rules work around here!"
"He's rare, he belongs to someone with experience!"
"YOU! EXPERIANCED! HA!"
He paused oddly again as these people started to argue among themselves as to who gets him!
He looked at those who were attacking him, giving him this 'are you stupid look?'
He glared back at them until they mouthed 'run' to him.
That message he finally got and began to slink off before making a break for it. Perhaps he could hide himself in one of the curse storage units? Or perhaps he can catch up to the others who left only an hour ago.
"Geto will take me back… right?" he asked himself.
"THERE! IT'S THERE!"
"Shit!"
He really could use his old technique about now…
