Chapter 32

Meanwhile…

"… Did I really waste a thousand years?"

He stared up at the ceiling, of course, Sukuna was now reminiscing of the past and yet, he feels oddly cheated now. Then again… "Well, taking into consideration, all the sorcerers who wanted me only wanted my power… not ME in particular… They were also batshit crazy… but so was I… huh… never really thought about that before… I may have been insane but not THAT insane…"

"I swear to the gods, if you have some sort of list of women you want to sleep with I'll rip that out of your hands and find them MYSELF and ensure they don't get the chance!" Chusi warned.

He snickered. "I would never, especially to a Tooru… huh… you guys never really had exes did you?"

"Oh there were some, but they were kicked out of the clan rather quickly. Anyone who marries a Tooru and doesn't abide by basic manners and rules are forced out of the clan. There were plenty of those, but, our exes never haunted us… they knew better than that," her hand was slipping up through the covers to rub his chest.

Sukuna smiled as he savored the attention. "So, another round?" he asked with a bold grin on his lips.

She smiled, leaned in and whispered. "Try to keep up"

A shiver went down his spine, as if he were just confronted by someone of equal power to him. Turning himself until he was poised on top of her, he grinned evilly. "You dare to challenge me?"

In the blink of an eye, he found himself on his back and Chusi staring him down like prey!

"Well… it might not be as much for me… but… you… can… try"

"… I love you… Make me suffer!"

"Be careful for what you wish for…"

The ground trembled a little.

Yua was taken aback but sighed aloud. "You think this place can't get any stranger…" she muttered to herself. But, it was getting stranger.

She hasn't seen the curse wombs in a while, in fact, ever since they became dragons, they have been a little distant as of late. So, Yua decided to go check up on them. Satoru, amazingly enough has gone to train with Rook as she was doing this on her own.

When she arrived…

Well…

She wasn't even ready for what came before her.

The place was amuck!

Their children were all over the place, organizing, planning their day and jobs for themselves. Apparently Eso and his sons are planning to cook the last of the dragon meat. "Grandma said that we need to use it up by tonight, or the benefit won't occur!" Hiro protested.

Haru nodded to his father. "We will get started on dinner then"

Eso nodded to his sons. "I'll leave it to you."

With that, the twins rushed out.

But at the moment, most of the attention was on Choso. He appeared to be wearing more… casual clothing than what Yua was use to seeing him wear, not to mention, his hair was down. "Choso?" she asked gently.

"Ah, Yua! Come in, sorry it's a little disarray," he said.

"Indeed… where Rhea?"

He smiled rather proudly. "Tending to the latest brood"

Yet, as she looked around, she found Choso's children were all in the living room here, organizing their cousins. She is also aware of the curse on the ladies, they won't have children again for a thousand years… what brood is he talking about?

"Oh, I suppose Yua doesn't know…" came out of Noranso. "Big bro has been practicing his… natural talents as a nursery dragon."

It was still going over her head as she stared at Choso. He didn't look any different really… besides the altered clothing and his hair being down. He didn't appear any bigger than usual. "I… don't get it." She said bluntly.

Noranso snickered. "Yeah… we were like that too." He said awkwardly. "It happened shortly after all the brothers were turned to dragons. In fact, I think you started right away since Rhea wanted you to. But anyways… Choso took in his first egg, he got it up to par where it should be, released it and it hatched!"

"Okay…" Yua said with uncertainty.

"The thing is… big bro is enjoying it a little TOO much," Noranso whispered.

"I heard that!" Choso protested.

"I'm afraid to ask how many you are up to…"

He paused to consider his actions. "Currently, with what I am brooding now… about 59." He said in a matter of fact tone.

"HOW?!" she demanded.

It got the whole room to laugh aloud, even the children. However, as they settled, Calypso paused as she peered at Yua. "Lady Tooru, are you expecting? You have that smell about you right now."

Suddenly, the brothers paused. "Yua?!"

She sighed and nodded. "Satoru of all people figured it out this morning. To think, Sukuna was actually respectful and not read my curse energy to know I was the last time… unless he couldn't see it since Satoru has six eyes… either way… it was a shock as well. I think this just happened before Gojo got swapped." She explained.

"And if not…" Noranso asked nervously.

Yua however, shrugged her shoulder. "However my children turn out, however they appear to be, will still be MY child" she decreed.

The brothers smiled. Their sons stared at her with great admiration. The daughters mesmerized by her words.

"I see why father respects her so," Calypso whispered to her brothers.

They nodded in agreement.

"So, how many do you intend on hatching?" Yua asked.

Choso smiled oddly. "Rhea and her sisters have been gathering and saving abandoned eggs ever since they were young. They are kept where Lady Tiamat raised them, however…"

"There's a few thousand," came out of Calypso.

Yua froze.

She turned to Choso who merely smiled. "You don't intend…" she began to ask.

He nodded to her. "I intend on hatching them all." He decreed. "Yua, these eggs have waited thousands of years to be born. How they remained alive for such a time is amazing itself. Yet, I can't explain it, but, my body conditions them, nurtures the eggs until they are strong enough to hatch. It's not a long process since they have waited so long…"

"But…" Yua asked in a hinting tone.

"It takes everything out of Choso to do it," came Eso. "He's been eating very well, but still, after each brood, he's out for a day, it takes another day to restore himself and one more before he can accept a new brood."

"That's a little much isn't it on you?"

Choso shook his head. "As a matter of fact, I find the more I do this, the less of a burden is on me after. My daughter has kept notes along with Junpei, I am growing stronger after each brood."

"Speaking of Junpei… He's been hiding too!"

"Oh, that… Uncle is currently testing his own power at the moment." Calypso explained. "He has to ingest various poisons in order to gain immunity to them. As such, he is keeping away from my father until he has consumed what he desires and removes all traces of toxins from his body."

Junpei… is having a poison buffet?
