Into the Null Void

It's been four years. June is brought to the main clan house for a reason he does not know. With chains around his arms, his purple eyes scanned around the large room that was filled with the members of the Gojo clan.

"Such an abomination."

"Disgrace to our clan."

"Isn't he the bastard that came here 5 years ago?"

"My mom says he's not even a true member of the family."

"You know it bad when the two factions don't want anything to do with you."

Murmurs and whispers filled the room, some didn't mind him hearing how slandering their words were.

June's platinum silver hair that shone upon contact with light was now full of dirt his body covered with a yukata that is held by little fabrics pieced together.

His purple eyes were the only thing that could tell he's state of mind, as he still had that vibrant violet glimmer in them. But he kept trying not to lose that glimmer... That glimmer of hope.

"What did I do?" He thought to himself. A moment of reminiscing began, as he reflected on the moments he spent with his mom at age seven...

...But he still couldn't remember her face.

"June. Do you have an idea why you've been brought to the presence of the elders?." The old man, Takashi said with a deep voice laced with authority and youth despite his age.

June raised his head steadily to meet his piercing gaze. "I... I... I have no idea."

"Telling you will be more dangerous for us and you. We have concluded that we will sentence you to a week in the Null Void." Old man Takashi spoke as he made a gesture towards the maid to fetch him something.

Tenzo's gaze was fixed on Kaori who paid him no mind and gave her full attention to the young June.

June's eyes grew wide at the mention of the Null Void. Similar to the prison realm, this place is an abstract reality, where things are distorted and can easily trap things with cursed energy. Its biggest form of torture is the special grade that lurks with it, as the Null void is an endless amount of raw cursed energy, continually giving birth to more curses but as a result of its raw cursed energy they come out to be a special grade.

"No, No, No, No, No!!!" June creepily grabbed his head. "I won't survive." He murmured loudly.

Kaori rests her head on her hands, with her brilliant blue eyes that stare at June vaguely. A small smile is formed on her lips.

"Tenzo." Kaori brought her eyes to the corner of her sockets to take a look at Tenzo. "Do you know the reason why the elders made this decision... This isn't a punishment but just an excuse to execute him."

"... I have a few theories... And one of them is..." Kaori waiting for his answer on his view of the matter was ticked off by his reply. "I think I'll keep that to myself."

Kaori sighed to herself and watched as the maid brought in a box-like object that was covered in a cloth.

June knows too well how this will end up killing him. "Please, I don't know what my fault is... But you have to give me another chance, just an--."

"Shut up, you bastard... Your first mistake was ever existing, been born." The elder Takashi spoke in disdain and outlined a disgusted tone. "Now... Just activate your infinity and am sure you'll be fine."

These words strike a nerve in June, and his anger starts to build up, he has never stood up to any of the Gojo clan members cause assumes himself as also an outsider... But before he could show any signs of aggression, he deflated from one of his memories.

He would be better off dead anyway.

As tears ran down his cheeks, the thought of being free clothes his mind. He looked up to everyone who was seated in the room, and his anger subsided. "Thank you for your hospitality..." His face brightens, and all of the members are confused by his expression.

The elder Takashi raises his eyebrows, his hands capturing the cube-like object that's wrapped in clothes. Taking off the wrapping, a box with several mouths can be seen, a grotesque image that will make an average person's skin crawl.

"But I'll be back..." June stated this, in a low sharp voice which was unusual of him.

The cursed object spreads open in a stretchy-like manner, wrapping itself around June's frail body. Some of the Oracle took a seat around the event that was happening in the room. Chanting incantations is needed for the complete procedures to seal the target.

"Hold thee that seeks dangers, Ropes of a darkness, Abyss deeper, bring thy troubles to the large world of the sea."

"Hold thee that seeks dangers, Ropes of a darkness, Abyss deeper, bring thy troubles to the large world of the sea."

"Hold thee that seeks dangers, Ropes of a darkness, Abyss deeper, bring thy troubles to the large world of the sea."

This process went on for about a minute until...

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

The room quakes, and an unusual occurrence seems to have taken place. Kaori's eyes widened, and Tenzo gave a troubled expression. The elder's face morphed into that of fear.

The Oracles didn't stop, they're task still at hand.

"Hold thee that seeks dangers, Ropes of a darkness, Abyss deeper, bring thy troubles to the large world of the sea."

"Hold thee that seeks dangers, Ropes of a darkness, Abyss deeper, bring thy troubles to the large world of the sea."

They kept chanting these words till The cursed object started closing in. June who had his head down the entire time brought his chin up. His purple eyes scanned the faces of everyone.

"Close that damn void, before we all get sucked in," Tenzo shouted at the top of his voice to the Oracles.

The quaking stopped. One of the Oracles walks up to June, placing her hands on his head. "So It shall be."

With those final words, the Null void retracted, covering every possible view of June who watched it devour him with an empty stare. His eyes drifted to the position of Kaori, who regained her calm demeanor.

With that, June was sucked in completely. The cursed object reverted to its normal form.

"It has been done." With an old frail voice, the Oracle said clasping her hands together. "That boy. He's not normal."

"We know, telling him about it will kill us all and with this, he will be executed."

The Oracle narrows her eyes in disdain toward Elder Takashi.

"Very well, I shall take my leave." The Oracle and her companion turned on their heels, going through the door.

The Null Void.

June's eyes opened barely, standing upright, he looked around. Everywhere is visually distorted, this world is seemingly bigger than it appears to be in the exterior.

"I guess this is going to be my new home." He had his head down in a self-deprecating manner.

"Shit, even a special grade curse is more special than me." He chuckled as he made his way through the void that was impossible to navigate.
