Author's Note: This story is based on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, which has some variations from the anime. If you find any discrepancies in the dialogues or scenarios, I invite you to research how it was in the manga. It's a story of short chapters, as I find it unnecessary to be a detailed episode (I don't know how to write long chapters).

I apologize if there are grammatical errors, I write in Spanish and translate it into English.

Tokyo Detention Center, Tokyo, Japan.

There was a grotesque being, without arms and without legs, trapped in a wall, dripping blood. It was a horrible sight.

"This could have been very different, you know?" said a boy with pink hair, his clothes stained with blood, but there was no wound to his body. His voice was calm, almost melodic, a strange contrast to the horror scene that unfolded before him.

"But you decided to attack me, and I can't allow that, especially not because of a mistake like you," he said, holding his chin with one hand, observing the grotesque work of art he had created. His tone was dismissive, as if he were talking to a young child. It was evident that he had no respect for the creature he had defeated.

This cruel boy was Yuji Itadori, but at the same time, he was not. He was being possessed by Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses.

Being caught in the wall screamed as his body twisted and bubbled, shaping and regenerating. Sukuna watched closely as the curse fell to the ground.

"Do you think I should applaud you?" Sukuna said, as the curse looked at him with a smug smile. "But compared to humans, it is not difficult for a curse to use its cursed energy to heal," said Sukuna, despising the action of the curse. "You and that brat have no idea what true witchcraft is." Sukuna charged her cursed energy, her aura became even more intimidating. "How about I show you?" He put his hands together to make a gesture.

"But first of all," he stopped, his expression became serious. "The boy can't change until he kills you, can he?" A plan began to form in Sukuna's mind, the wheels spinning on his head.

"So I can do whatever I want until I kill you.." Sukuna closed her eyes, thinking of her next move.

He opened his eyes, a cunning flash in his eyes, and in a quick movement ... he plunged his hands into his chest, ripping his heart out, to the confusion of the curse that looks at him. "I'll take you hostage, brat!" Sukuna could live without a heart, but Itadori could not.

Sukuna dropped her heart, crushing him with her foot. "Now, Bug!" He said as he put his hands together again. "Let me show you true witchcraft!" His hands joined. "The difference between an insect like you and a true sorcerer."

The curse watched in fear as Sukuna sentenced: "¡[Domain Expansion]!"

Scene Change

Megumi POV

'Where are you, Itadori?' I was wondering. He had given the signal exactly two minutes ago. The domain had just disappeared. That could only mean one thing: the curse was dead. Now, it was only a matter of time before Itadori appeared.

"It won't come," I heard a voice behind me. I quickly turned around, taking a combat stance. He had not felt that anyone was approaching from behind. I watched the person standing in front of me. 'Itadori?' I thought, but then I reconsidered 'No, it's Sukuna'.

'What went wrong?' I was wondering, still ready to fight. I watched Sukuna. There was a hole in his chest, a wound where his heart should be. 'The curse hurt him?' I considered it for a moment, but then I corrected myself, 'No, it's something else'.

"He underestimated me," Sukuna said to me with a mocking smile. "He seems to think I'm stupid, that I'm his secret weapon. As you can see ... "he pointed to the hole in his chest. "He paid the price," he said with a cold laugh.

"I have taken him hostage. If he changes again ... he will die." He approached me with a cruel smile. "Now I will kill you, for no particular reason," he said casually, shrugging.

"Itadori will return. Even if that means his own death, "I said. In these few two weeks I spent with Itadori, I know what kind of person he is. "He is that kind of person."

"You give him too much credit," Sukuna ruled out. "This boy is a little stronger and more boring than other humans."

'The arm has healed, which means you can use the reverse curse technique". A plan began to form in Megumi's mind, It would hurt Sukuna enough to force him to regenerate Itadori's heart, allowing him to take control.

'But can I do it?' Megumi hesitated, recalling the curse of the detention center 'No! It's not about whether I can do it or not ... '[Ten Shadow Technique] I summoned my damn energy' I must do it!' [Nine].

I will attack with everything I have.

3rd POV

"All right! Since I'm finally out, let go!" A confident Sukuna screamed, adjusting his hair. Her voice echoed with unwavering confidence.

A young man with black hair attacked him with amazing speed, but his attack was easily blocked by Sukuna's palm. "Deceive your blows more, Fushiguro!" Sukuna scoffed, his laughter filled the air when he launched a blow that the young man also blocked, with his face.

[Orochi] Megumi summoned with a gesture from her hand, taking Sukuna by surprise, who did not expect a giant snake to emerge from the shadows on the ground.

[Nue] A bird attacked this time, while its enemy was held high by the giant snake, but it was a futile attack, he quickly realized.

"Attack him," Megumi ordered, thinking he had the advantage.

Sukuna smiled, and with sheer physical force destroyed the snake holding him, his smile widened as he watched the snake fade into nothingness.

Megumi watched in disbelief as her shikigami was destroyed "As I told you" She heard behind him "Let's let go!" It was launched into the air with great speed, where a Sukuna awaited it with a descending blow.

[Nue] But although Megumi was a novice, he was very talented.

The young man with black hair quickly flew through the air, while protected by his bird, passing several floors of a building, The structure trembled with the impact, and the rubble fell around him.

Megumi, wounded and exhausted, with a trembling hand, stroked the bird that had protected him in battle.

While stroking the bird, Megumi couldn't help but think of the strength and agility of her adversary. 'It's not just his physical strength,' he thought, remembering how Sukuna had easily blocked his attacks. 'His agility is also on another level'.

Finally, he looked at the bird once more, his gaze full of remorse. "Sorry, buddy," he said softly, "I pushed you to the limit." And with those words, the bird began to fade, its body became what looked like black ink, slowly disappearing into thin air.

Boom

A body fell standing in front of him, breaking the ground. 'But I'm also on my edge," he lamented, watching Sukuna walk towards him with a smile.

"Your shikigami ... They use shadows as a medium, right?" Sukuna asked, leaning with one hand on his chin, although he already knew the answer. "And that?" He replied coldly.

"Hmm ... I don't understand, at that moment, why did you run away?" He hesitated, referring to Megumi fleeing the detention center.

Sukuna was theorizing something. "It was a wasted opportunity," he lamented, filled with disdain for Megumi's decision.

"At this rate ... I will not fix his heart," he confessed, knowing Megumi's plan. 'He read me like an open book,' he realized, frustrated.

"This brat is not worth the effort," Sukuna said with a contemptuous smile.

Pov Megumi (Again)

"Then why did you save me?!" I remembered Itadori's eyes while wondering. It sounded desperate. Despite his innate talent and strength, he was still a 16-year-old boy who had been convicted of wanting to save his friends.

"If I had time to curse someone, I would rather use it to bless those I appreciate," I remembered what my sister once said. She was a person with a kind heart, but who had been cursed by circumstances beyond her control. She did not deserve that.

Life is unfair, that's the only fair thing about it. It does not discriminate in its cruelty, hitting both good and bad alike.

'If only more good people could receive justice," I lamented, remembering the times I sat down to accompany my sister, the times I prayed for her to wake up. A sorcerer praying, sounds stupid, right? But in those moments, despair can make you resort to anything.

'I will save people, whether they are fair or not!' I started to get up, summoning the last of my damn energy I had left. I only had one option.

"That is all...¡You're finally ready to let it out!" I heard Sukuna scream in an excited voice. ¿Do you know what I will do? "Show me what you're made of, Fushiguro Megumi!" He screamed again, his voice full of anticipation.

Then I will give you what you want. "With this treasure, me," I began to conjure, feeling my cursed energy accumulate.

"I.." I repeated myself. "I didn't save you because it was the most logical thing.." I remembered Itadori that night on the roof, how he put himself in danger to help people. "I just didn't want to see a good person, no matter how dangerous it was, die," I thought of my sister. "I had to think about it, in the end, it was a selfish and sentimental decision," he admitted. "But it's okay, I'm not a hero, I'm a sorcerer." I lowered my hands, seeing the marks of Itadori's body disappear.

"That's why I never regretted saving you... Not even for a moment, "I finished seeing a smiling Itadori, his smile was sincere.

"I see!" Itadori smiled at me. "You are very smart, Fushiguro, thinking of all kinds of things, not like me," he admitted as he scratched his head. "I think your way of doing things is also correct, but that doesn't mean mine isn't." I nodded with a smile.

Drip drip.

"Oh sorry, time seems to be running out," Itadori began to falter. ¿Don't you resist too much? "Fushiguro, as for you and Kugisaki... Live a long life, okay?" The blood began to drip from Itadori's mouth. "And tell Gojo-sensei I'm sorry, I almost have it," he said when he fell to the ground.

I looked at the sky. 'It's a pretty cold afternoon ...' Megumi thought, feeling her body tremble. 'Oh ... it started to rain.'

It was a warm sunset, with a clear sky. Not a single cloud in sight.
