chapter 3
As you walk down the seemingly endless halls of the palace behind him, you have to jog every few steps to keep up with his long strides. He always walks like he has places to be. His heavy gait makes you feel like every step he takes sends tremors through the walls and your body.
Eventually, after passing through an outdoor garden and into a separate building, you reach a set of doors larger and more extravagant than any you've ever seen. He pushes them open and walks inside, holding the door and glaring at you, silently commanding you to follow him in. You feel your heart drop to your stomach. Walking through these doors feels like the most daunting thing you've ever had to do right now. However, as much as you fear walking into his room, you fear his temper more, so you wordlessly walk inside, keeping your head low.
You keep your gaze glued to the floor, expecting him to pounce on you like some feral, horny beast. But he doesn't. You gather some courage and glance up through your lashes, watching as he moves around his room. It's a huge chamber, with a large, curtained bed in the middle. The curtains are drawn back and tied to the posts, letting you see the layers of cushions, and a few pillows on top. Despite the tall windows on one wall to the right of the bed, the room feels dark, filling you with a sense of dread and anticipation. Sukuna has opened a large crate filled with a variety of silk robes in the corner of the room beside a large mirror, and is rustling through it. He decides on a black one with red and gold trimming before standing up. Your nails dig into your palm and you realize you've been clenching your fists this whole time, just awkwardly standing by the door.
He stands up straight and glances at you with an unreadable expression before sauntering to a dark wooden door that leads to a bathroom and slipping inside. He doesn't close the door all the way, but you can loosen your tense stance now that he's not focused on you.
Taking your chance to look around, you scan the room and absorb the things he's put up: a blade hung on a wall, a large mirror in a corner facing the bed, the two crates of silk robes and other garments beside it, a small wooden table with an incense burner on top, a handheld mirror and an empty glass on another small table…
He sure has a lot of mirrors. Self-obsessed, maybe?
You quickly dispel that thought from your brain, as if fearing he might somehow be able to open your skull and peer inside, reading all your thoughts before punishing you.
Just as you're getting lost in a train of anxious thoughts, the door creeks and Sukuna steps out in his clothing, steam rolling off of him. He's left his chest exposed, a signature style of his – it's uncanny to even imagine him with his chest covered.
He stalks toward you and you swallow thickly, lifting your gaze to meet his, a brave move on your part. He looks down at you, scanning your body. Sukuna never made much effort to do more than brief introductions with his concubines, let alone get acquainted with them. In all honesty, he probably doesn't know more than their names.
His hand shoots up to grab your jaw, his index and thumb tilting your face further back.
"You know why you're here, don't you?" he says lowly, his sudden words startling you.
You nod slightly, your chin still held in his hand.
"Words."
You hesitate for a moment before answering, your voice laced with uncertainty and caution.
"To, uh… fulfill my role as a concubine..?"
His eyes narrow and his grip tightens. "What is that role, girl?" he sneers.
Your cheeks flush in embarrassment. He's really going to make you say it out loud. Your voice comes out meeker than you'd like.
"Uh… sex?"
He scoffs a laugh, though there's no smile on his face, and tilts your head back further, leaning down to meet your gaze.
"Pathetic." He drops his hand and steps away from you, looking you up and down non-discreetly. "I’ve changed my mind."
You blank and stare at him, expecting him to continue. He just turns and loosens his clothes slightly. "I'm not in the mood today. Get out."
He didn't need to tell you twice. You slipped out of his bedroom and practically sprinted down the halls back to your room. What the hell was that about? He brought you all the way there, made you wait for him to finish bathing, just to say a few sentences — which you already knew, mind him — and kick you out? You're a bit irritated, but mostly relieved that it didn't go any further.
As you lay in your bed, you can hear the sounds of soft breathing coming from all the other sleeping women. The earlier encounter confused you more than it scared you, if you’re being honest with yourself. However, you try to focus on the friendships you’ve begun to make with some of the other concubines, which has somewhat lessened the impact of your drastically-changed life on you.
The next morning, you go about your regular morning routine and follow a group of women, among them Miyuri, to Sukuna’s throne room. He’s currently lounged with his arms and legs spread out, while two servants set down trays of luxurious breakfasts and fruits for him. He bears his signature unimpressed expression as the concubines approach him and begin preparing to feed him. You pick up a plate of sugared grapes, each cut in half and de-seeded, and stand by his side. He glances at you then tilts his head in your direction. You pick up a slice and bring it to his mouth. He stares right at you as he eats it from between your fingers, his tongue brushing against them in the process.
As the many beautiful concubines surround and feed him, you zone out while continuing your task. Almost as if he can sense your unfocused state, his gaze snaps to you, his lower set of eyes squinting. One of his arms reaches out and grabs your hand that’s holding the plate, making you stumble slightly, a few slices rolling off and bouncing down the steps in front of his throne comically. But nothing is funny to you right now.
Your face pales and you immediately pull away with a gasp. “I-I’m so sorry, my lord! Please, forgive me,” you exclaim, setting the plate down and moving to kneel and pick up the mess, bracing yourself for a punishment. But you’re stopped by a rough tug of his hand again, pulling you to your feet in front of him.
“Leave it. You,” he snaps gruffly, gesturing to a concubine across from him named Izumi. “Pick them up. Now.”
Izumi scrambles to her feet to clean up the mess while you stare at him, shocked and confused. He lets go of you and goes back to eating.
“Make that mistake again and I’ll have your hands chopped off.”
You nod frantically and bow before sitting back down, your hands clenched into fists, sweat forming on your temples before dripping down the side of your face. You don’t understand anything going on with him and the way he’s treating you. One moment, you think you’re about to be slaughtered, then the next, he’s sparing your life despite being a ruthless, feared king who knows no mercy. He didn’t even force you to do anything you didn’t want to the previous night, simply stated he ‘wasn’t in the mood’ and kicked you out. You’ve heard from the other concubines that he’s like a bottomless pit of lust, so for him to do that was very out-of-character in your mind.
.
For the next few days, you try to stay as hidden as possible, even more than before after your slip-up. You take on chores that servants are supposed to be responsible for, sticking to the shadows and drowning yourself in mundane tasks like washing fruit or organizing the fabric storage. Miyuri and the other women have noticed your self-isolation, so they try to coax you to join them in regular concubine activities.
“All of Lord Sukuna’s concubines are expected to be reflections of his status, so we spend our time educating ourselves and learning etiquette.” Miyuri explains the roles to you as she had your first week here, and leads you by the hand to a floor table with pieces of parchment, jars of ink, inkstones, and calligraphy brushes. A few women are sitting around it, their hands gracefully swiping characters and letters onto the yellow surfaces.
“You mustn’t do any chores, Fujikawa. That’s for the servants. Lord Sukuna will be very angry if he catches you, okay?”
You nod as you sit down on a cushion beside her and pick up a brush. You practice writing your own name a few times, the symbols feeling foreign after so long. The repeated action of writing your name makes you feel humanized again, like you’re not actually just one of the King of Curses’ many concubines, trapped for who-knows-how-long. You feel like the humble bookkeeper of Shinonomori village again.
You and the other women sit there for hours practicing calligraphy, and you begin to find a soothing enjoyment in the activity. Miyuri shows you all the different skill stations and activities that the concubines fill their time with. There is a room full of many different musical instruments, a library full of scrolls and women practicing poetry, and a large courtyard to practice etiquette with all the other people of the palace. When you’ve finally seen everything, you feel much more at ease. Maybe you can survive here after all.
One night, you’re writing at the table as the others wind down for bed, when the door opens. Sukuna stands there, taking up the entire doorway as he scans the room. The concubines all bow. You instinctively sink down, your grip on the brush tightening. His searching gaze lands on you and you curse internally.
“You. Come.”
You drop the brush and quickly get to your feet, brushing your hair back as you bow once more and follow him out of the room. Your heart is pounding, but you’re not as afraid of him as you were at the beginning. The muscles in his back shift and bulge with every step he takes, like the shadows flock to him and sculpt his body. You can’t help but admire his devastatingly handsome form. After the long walk to his chambers, you shut the door behind you and lower your head, waiting for him to speak. You’ve been mentally preparing yourself for the moment you’ll have to sleep with him since he kicked you out over a week ago. You knew you got lucky that night, and it wouldn’t be long before he actually went through with it.
He starts derobing and tossing them onto a large chest that has all his robes and kimonos inside. He glances at you over his shoulder.
“You know what you’re here for. Get in the bed.”
Your heart drops to your stomach, but you approach the bed and begin taking off your outer robes.
“Where… do I put my clothes?” you ask shyly. He makes an offhand gesture to the floor.
“I don’t care. The servants will deal with it.”
You decide to play it safe and fold your robes before setting them on the floor by his bed. He’s already climbed in and sprawled out like the true king he is. You hesitantly lift the blanket and climb underneath, sitting beside him. He turns to you and sits up. Before you can even process what’s going on, you’re laying back on the pillows and he’s hovering over you, two strong arms holding him up while another moves toward your fearful face. He pushes the hair from your face and glares at you.
“Stop acting like I’m going to eat your head off,” he snaps. “Stupid woman.”
“I’m sorry, I just–”
“I don’t care. I command you to relax.”
As you stare up at him, you run your gaze over the markings on his face, his sharp features, and his short pink hair that looks surprisingly soft. He picks up on your looks and smirks, bringing his face closer to yours.
“There you go,” he says condescendingly, his breath brushing your lips. You swallow nervously and turn your head away. He grabs your chin with one of his hands not holding him up and makes you look at him.
“Don’t turn away from me. You have the privilege of being in my presence, in my bed, and when I’m done, of having experienced utmost pleasure at my hands,” he scolds you, his voice rumbling with power. Then his face shifts to realization and exasperation. “You’re a virgin, aren’t you?”
You quickly nod and look at him anxiously, silently pleading for him to have mercy on you, even though you know that’s a concept only fools would associate with Ryomen Sukuna. He leans down and presses a kiss to your jawline, one of his hands snaking up to tilt your head back further, letting him kiss down the expanse of your neck, taking in your rapid pulse and quick breaths.
“Figures,” he murmurs against your skin before pulling back and looking at your already-flushed face. He scoffs. “Well, not my problem.”
Despite his cruelty, he feels the tension in your body and looks you up and down. He sighs in dramatic annoyance.
“Women…” he grumbles. “You should be honored to have your virginity taken by the King of Curses himself. If I tell you I won’t be too rough, will you stop your incessant squirming? You’re annoying me.”
You stare at him dumbfounded but nod and swallow thickly. “Okay… I’m sorry.”
He rolls his eyes, then he’s kissing you. Tilting your head back, slanting his lips against yours, he kisses you with a fervor that leaves you breathless. His sharp teeth nip at your lower lip as you struggle to keep up with him, kissing him back despite yourself. You can feel a dull warmth in your stomach grow as you reflexively reach a hand up and grip his forearm by your head. He makes a noise into your mouth and his upper set of arms start exploring your body, barely covered by the thin white robe you’re wearing.
Rough hands slide down your waist, up your arched back, down your sides, and splay across your heated skin. When you feel one of his lower hands slide up your thigh, lifting the robe with it, you gasp slightly into his mouth and glance down. He turns your head back up to him and bites your lip before kissing you deeply again.
Moments later, he’s completely discarded your robe on the floor, leaving you bare below him. You’ve never felt so vulnerable in your life – and you were the victim of a sacrifice just a month ago. Two hands grab at your breasts, one arm holds him up, and the other slides down to your leg and makes its way to your lower back, where he splays his hand and pushes your spine into an arch against him. His tongue explores your mouth, licking over your lips and sliding against yours.
The way he kisses you takes your breath away, like he’s sucking the air straight from your lungs to fill his own. You’re lost in it when suddenly, you hear an unfamiliar voice from down below.
“Who’s this, hah? A new snack?”
The lewd tone makes you snap out of your daze to look down, a bewildered expression on your face when you see a large mouth right on Sukuna’s abdomen. The king himself just scowls and turns your face back up. “Ignore it.” Before you can question him, his mouth is back on yours. But the voice persists.
“Oi. I’m talkin’ here. Let me have a taste, yeah? Smells sweet,” the mouth continues, it’s crude words both unsettling and flustering you. Sukuna groans against your mouth and pulls back to look down.
“Silence,” he snaps. “You are an inferior part of me.”
You finally find some courage to speak up, though your voice comes out timidly.
“Uh… my lord? What… is that?”
Sukuna’s gaze snaps to you and his eyes narrow in annoyance.
“What does it look like, you foolish woman?” he spits. “My second, and may I say, more greedy, mouth. You shall soon get to know him well.”
Your brows furrow in slight irritation and anxiety. He then grabs your legs with his lower set of arms, pulling you closer, and grabs a pillow to slide under your hips. His fingers move between your legs, feeling the slick heat. Clicking his tongue, he wipes his sticky fingers on his abdomen, which opens right up and slurps it with exaggerated noises and a grin. Your thighs try to close on instinct.
Sukuna stops them from closing with one large hand, while another two work on removing his pants. The tie loosens and they drop, revealing not one, but two cocks side by side. Each tip is red and leaking pre, and two large veins run down the undersides. But what shocks you most is their size. You had expected Sukuna to be big – he’s big in many other ways too – but you somehow underestimated what it’d be like to actually see his length in person. His dicks must be at least eight inches long, and you get a good view of their thickness when Sukuna wraps a hand around one and pumps languidly, a cocky look on his face.
He always loves seeing the first reaction to his size. It gives him a rush of ego and sadistic pleasure, knowing they’ll end up drained and ruined when he’s done with them.
“Yeah, yeah. I know,” he says, predatory eyes locked on your nervous face.
You swallow thickly, your throat bobbing as you glance between his head and back down. He pulls you closer and adjusts you the way he wants before dragging one of his cocks through your wet folds, the tip probing at your entrance. He hums lowly and one of his upper arms slides under your back, lifting you up to meet his lips as he crashes them onto yours. He bites your lip and smooths it over with his tongue, and you feel him push the head in. You gasp and whimper at the sudden stretch, a dull pain throbbing as he pushes further then stops.
He pulls back and looks down at you with dark eyes.
“Tch. I hate virgins,” he grumbles. “Listen, woman. I refuse to deal with any incessant crying, so I will go slower. If you cry, I’ll slap you. Got it?”
You nod quickly, no longer caring about his cruel words so long as it means you get even a drop of gentleness during this vulnerable moment.
Surprisingly enough, he keeps his word and stays with just an inch inside you. He remains unmoving until he feels your body relax around him, and pushes in further. His tip meets the thin wall of resistance inside you, and he glances at your face. Your brows are furrowed, your breath coming in shallow pants, and you have one hand loosely clamped over your mouth to muffle any noises you might make.
Usually, Sukuna wouldn’t care about whether he hurts a woman during sex. He’d brush her off and say that he’s not too rough, she’s just weak. Even with women who have never had sex before, previously he wouldn’t think twice before burying his cock deep inside them, ignoring the thin layer of blood and slick on his cock as he moves, and the tears that always run down their cheeks.
He tells himself that he’s only going slower with you because he gets so pissed off when they cry, and he finds it unbearably annoying, plus you seem like a crybaby to him. That’s it.
He curses under his breath when he feels your walls clench around his cock, like you’re trying to pull him in. He braces two hands beside your head and holds your hip with another. Then, he thrusts forward, the hymen breaking and allowing him to sheathe himself further inside you. He exhales a sigh while your breath hitches. Clenching your eyes shut and biting the inside of your palm, you try to distract yourself from the sting as he starts to move.
“Oi. Woman. Open your eyes this instant,” he demands. Your eyes flutter as you blink up at him, your eyes glistening. He groans slightly and feels your entire body tense. “Tsk. At least you’re not crying.”
His thrusts start shallow, and when you glance down you realize that he’s only halfway inside you. You tilt your head back slightly and he takes that as an invitation. Leaning down, he licks up your neck and nips the junction between your shoulder and neck. Suddenly, you feel a wet, hot appendage lick a stripe right up your pussy. You gasp and jerk your hips down instinctively.
Sukuna grins down at you wickedly, and suddenly his hips surge forward until he’s bottomed out inside you. You let out a strangled moan, gasping as the head of his cock bumps your cervix. Your silk walls clench tightly around him, hindering him from moving. He groans and presses a hand down on your lower stomach where a faint bulge can be seen from how deep his length is inside you, the slight upward curve rubbing right against a spot you didn’t even know existed.
A rough laugh rumbles from his throat as he looks down at your soft stomach where the outline of his cock is.
“How adorable,” he croons darkly. “That’s never happened before, heh.”
A whine escapes you as he starts grinding into you, the pink hairs dusting his pelvis brushing your skin. His second cock slides back and forth where your thigh meets your pussy. It drips pre onto your body, leaving a glistening trail.
Sukuna increases his pace and stares down at you with a hungry gaze. He rubs your hips with his free hands, making your body relax around him. Now that he can move with ease, his pace goes from a steady rhythm to long, deep thrusts that pull sweet moans out of you with every plap of his hips against yours.
Each bump of his leaky tip against your cervix shoots tingles of pleasure and pain up your body. He leans down to hover over you, and his stomach mouth starts lapping at your pussy, slurping up the treacly slick around your clit that gushes out with every thrust. That mouth seems to have a mind of its own, letting out groans of pleasure between licks. The dual stimulation brings you closer and closer to the edge. Your hands shoot out to grip his forearms, nails digging into his skin as you pant. Sukuna himself doesn’t make much noise other than a few grunts.
“Yeah, that’s it,” he huffs. “Take it. Stupid girl.”
You can barely see straight as he continues thrusting into you, the room filled with obscene squelches and the smell of sex. Your eyes flutter and roll back as his cock grinds against your sweet spot.
“C’mon. Cum on my cock, woman. Show me how good I am.”
His stomach mouth seems to sense how close you are as well and doubles down on its ministrations, sucking on your swollen clit. Those words along with the extra stimulation push you over. Your spine bows upward, your head tilts back, and your nails claw down his arms and back, leaving marks in their wake. A long, breathless moan leaves your moan and you lift a hand to muffle your sounds, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
One of Sukuna’s hands reaches up and moves yours away from your face.
“Stop that. Let me hear you. That’s an order.” Your thighs tremble slightly and you swallow, your mouth dry from all the panting.
Even through your climax, Sukuna doesn’t slow down or give you a break. Now on his knees, he continues pounding into you, one of his lower hands wrapping around his aching cock to pump in time with his hips. His forehead has a sheen of sweat on it. You can’t help but admire his thick thigh muscles and flexed biceps, imagining what it would be like to have him put you in a chokehold. Your feet point and tighten around his hips. He uses your thigh to pull you closer, impaling you further on his length and making you choke on a moan.
“O-Oh— hah—!” you pant, gripping the sheets below you for anything to ground you.
Sukuna furrows his brows and pumps one, two, three times, then he pulls out and cums all over your lower stomach. Ropes of cum splutter out of his tips, the sight making you dizzy. His head tilts back all the way, showing off his sharp jawline and neck.
You pant softly, catching your breath as you pull yourself together. You’re sure you look a mess, even after just one round. He looks down at you and something in his eyes flickers.
“What’s your name?”
Your eyes flit to him in confusion.
“…Fujikawa. Fujikawa Y/N,” you mumble shyly, feeling strangely like you’re in trouble. He lets out a low hum then pulls his pants back up, tying them around his hips. Shuffling beside you, he flops down and lays with his muscular back to you.
“Go clean up. Then return.”
You sit up, taking a moment to breathe, and climb out of the bed. Using the post to stand, you gather your robe from the floor and head to the bathing room adjoined to his chambers.

waiting at the airport
Under the cover of sham negotiations, the war of aggression against Iran appears to have begun. The American empire and its mercenaries will stop at nothing to consume every country, every solitary life that stands in the way of its greed. The US is a genocidal beast, a threat to the world that must be put down like a rabid dog. No peace or freedom will be possible until its engines of death and enslavement are destroyed, without hesitation.

chapter 2
You’re led to a large room filled with cushions and racks of kimonos of all colors and designs. Hands fly around you as you’re dressed up and down like a customizable doll, a blur of colors whizzing in front of your eyes.
They decide on a pale lavender kimono with tiny embroidered flowers that wraps around you like it was made just for your figure, plush silk draped over every curve of your body. Your hair is combed and brushed until it shines, and two of the women simultaneously apply touches of makeup to your face, covering any scars or bruises. They don’t manage to cover the slit across your forehead, however – it remains prominent, a reminder of the events that led you to be in this situation.
The walls of the dark hallway whisper with the voices of doomed souls, painted a red so deep it looks like raw flesh. Each footstep seems to bounce off the walls and reverberate back to you, making your ears ring.
Two of the women from earlier flank you on each side until you reach a large mahogany door. The dark brown wood is engraved with swirls and letters in a language you can’t seem to recognize. One of the women grabs the large handle and smiles tightly before opening the door for you and not-so-gently pushing you through. You’re about to turn around and question them when the door is slammed shut in your face.
Swallowing thickly, you slowly turn around and look at the front of the room, the sight nearly making you jump out of your skin.
In all his malevolent glory, Sukuna sits atop his throne, legs spread, four arms framing his intimidating form. He’s glaring at you, an unimpressed look on his face. It makes you feel oddly exposed.
“Come,” he commands, his voice bellowing through the room, flaring goosebumps all over your body. You slowly walk towards him, stopping at the steps of his throne and folding your hands in front of you nervously. You keep your gaze glued to the floor, too afraid to speak.
He scoffs at the pathetic display and leans forward.
“I said, come,” he snaps. You flinch slightly then toe up the steps to stand right in front of him, your gaze locked on your feet. His abs linger in your peripheral.
One of his four hands shoots up and grips your jaw, his entire hand dwarfing the width of your face. He turns your face from side to side, scanning you. You shift under his scrutinizing gaze, feeling a cold sweat trickle down the back of your neck.
But despite his intimidating, scary, 7 feet tall, will-snap-your-neck demeanor… he's kinda hot. Your eyes discreetly flicker over his face while he looks you over, taking in the markings on his skin.
He has surprisingly good bone structure — sharp jawline, high cheekbones, eyes that are currently staring into your soul. He's well-groomed, which you'd expect from someone so powerful.
Sukuna hums as if he's deep in thought and releases your face.
"Sit," he commands, lazily gesturing to a small ottoman beside his throne with a flick of his wrist. You sit down slowly. He doesn't take his eyes off of you.
You spend the rest of the day (night? You're not really sure how time works here… wherever here is) in his chamber, sitting silently as you observe him. He generally sits and stares ahead with a pissed off expression on his face, occasionally muttering ominously under his breath.
Sometimes, a few servants will come in with various scrolls to show him (which he mostly rips up and burns in their faces) or reports about curses around the area. He seems to just dismiss them. After what feels like hours of sitting there like an invisible spectator, he turns back to you. One of his hands lifts and he gestures to you then in front of him.
"Stand, girl," he snaps. "Quickly."
You scramble to your feet and move to stand in front of him, still unable to hold his gaze, folding your hands in front of you. His dark red eyes scan you from head to toe, causing your skin to erupt with goosebumps.
"Turn."
The fear deep in your skin makes you act before thinking, immediately turning around, giving your back to him. He hums noncommittally before telling you to leave. Thank goodness, you think, taking your chance and scurrying out of the room before you have to endure more of him.
Walking back down the hallway you came from, you spot the doors to the concubine room and push them open, slipping inside and shutting the door behind you. The women inside look up as you enter, and you spot a few familiar faces from earlier. The tall, pale woman with the hip-length brown hair steps forward, flanked by two other girls. She smiles at you gently and takes your arm, leading you to the bedroom while explaining the daily routines of the concubines and what to expect. You soon learn that her name is Miyuri. It seems she's a kind of leader, or perhaps she's been here the longest.
.
As the next few days pass by, you struggle to adjust to your new "life" in this dark, macabre palace. It's like you've been transported to a completely new dimension, a whole other world way beyond the small village you were so used to. Every evening, a servant comes to the door and announces which concubine Sukuna has requested for the night before leading them out. The possibility of being chosen scares you more and more every day that passes. You try your best to lay low and keep a low profile within the palace in general, spending your days doing chores with the other girls — you clean the bathtubs, water some plants, occasionally help out in the kitchen, or try to do anything to pass time and keep you occupied.
In your mind, being chosen by Sukuna can only mean you're going to be pulverized. The idea of having sex with him, spending an entire night in his room, at his mercy — nothing scares you more. Even though you always see the concubines return alive and looking very well the next day, you never fail to notice the slight limp in their steps or the way they sit down slowly with a slight grimace.
After two weeks go on like this, you start to feel more comfortable in the possibility that Sukuna won't call on you anytime soon. Maybe it's because I'm new, you think, trying to convince yourself. You've created a sort of routine for yourself, doing different tasks every day to try and stay unnoticed. So far, it's working — or so you thought.
One evening, you're sitting on the floor in the main room with the other women. Miyuri is sitting behind you, combing your hair and getting ready to braid it for you. Suddenly, the large door swings open, and you look up to see Sukuna himself standing at the door. Your heart drops. The other women pause what they're doing and bow respectfully, and you go to do the same, but then he speaks.
"You," he says, loud and commanding. "On the floor."
Shit, shit, shit…
You silently curse and clench your eyes shut for a second before looking up at him. You can feel your whole body trembling.
"Um… m-me?" you mumble nervously.
"Get up."
You quickly get to your feet, Miyuri's prior brushing making your hair fall smoothly. The other women are incredibly confused, some of them whispering amongst themselves. Sukuna has never come to personally take a concubine back to his room with him. You step forward, your legs feeling like they're made of jelly. He stares at you then turns and leaves, like he's expecting you to follow him. He doesn't need to tell you. You exchange a look with Miyuri before rushing out of the room to catch up with him.

chapter 1
The hardened wax clings to your skin like a vice, a harsh reminder of your current situation, cracking with every movement you can barely do. You can feel the sting of the burns all over your body, tight ropes digging into your wrists and ankles, tied carelessly. A damp cloth is wrapped around your eyes, stained with something that reeks of sweat and metal, blocking your vision.

The village of Shinonomori is surrounded by dark, lush forests. Flowers bloom in the sparse clearings, their spines straining for the sliver of sun that rarely shines. Vines crawl over bark and stone, twisting and curling in shapes and patterns so intricate you’d think perhaps God swooped down to arrange it himself.
The trees stand tall and proud, creating a wall of mahogany and maple around the village, almost like a cage shield.
Legends say that the forest is filled with cursed spirits. Some people claim they can feel their presence.
Children are raised being warned to avoid the forest with the cliché “whoever dares to go in doesn’t return” phrase to scare them.
While definitely cliché, it’s not entirely untrue.
In Shinonomori, everyone has a duty, a role to play—whether it’s farming, mending, healing, smithing, or bookkeeping—in the village. However, the pride and joy of all Shinonomori residents is their agriculture.
Most of the land is tilled to cater to different types of crops and vegetation, making their often surplus of crops overfill stands in markets, which are usually bustling with people, especially around Harvest Day.
Due to the hard conditions of the village that have been unchanging for many generations, it seems miraculous that they have such abundant farms. So, if they live in such a cursed area, how are they so successful?
The villagers, ever superstitious, believe that the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, is warding off the curses that threaten to consume the village and their farms himself.
Given their beliefs and deep-rooted fear of the curses that reside in the forests—born from generations of sacrifices and negative energy—every year, they select one person from the village to sacrifice to him on Harvest Day, believing that this will continue to protect them until next time.
You’re one of the bookkeepers of Shinonomori; you spend your days assisting customers, dusting shelves, or reading to pass time. You’re just opening the library for the day, the early morning sun reflecting through the little circular window above the wooden door. You push the door open with some effort—it’s old and pretty rickety, the wood is splintering—and use your foot to nudge a small stone underneath to keep it open.
You mutter a curse under your breath when you look down, noticing your well-worn flats starting to rip at the toe. There should be a few needles and some leftover thread inside from the last time you had to repair them.
Turning back inside, you walk past the shelves with books galore, some old with near-frayed spines, others with hard leather covers with a slight sheen. Their golden-brown pages are pressed together between the rough material and sewed in place with thick string and needles—similar to the ones you’re currently searching for.
You make your way through the old library, moving through the familiar aisles and hallways with ease. You fan your hand back and forth in front of you, trying to disperse the dust in the air that sticks to your hair and gathers on the stone walls, which are now growing bits of moss in the cracks.
The wooden floor is faded and creaks every other step before you reach the door to the stairwell at the end of the short hallway. You open the pale wooden door and step inside, the sound of your light footsteps echoing softly in the cylindrical room as you ascend to the top floor, where your small apartment is.
This building—both the library and apartment—was passed down to you from your late parents. They passed away around seven years ago when you were just 17, but you’ve made a living for yourself as a bookkeeper since then.
You find the sewing supplies exactly where you usually leave them: in a drawer that doesn’t fully close in your desk.
“Ah, here we go,” you mutter to yourself, sinking down to the floor and propping your foot up to slip your shoe off.
Threading the needle, you carefully weave it in and out of the fabric until the holes seemingly disappear, the motion almost rhythmic.
Satisfied with your repairs, the needle and thread find themselves wrapped around each other and tucked back into the drawer, the soft thud breaking the silence.
You make your way back downstairs and begin your daily tasks: reshelving books, getting rid of the endless dust that seems to consume the whole room, and other things that may need tending to, such as watering the hydrangeas by the entrance or making repairs.
You’re so caught up you almost don’t hear someone enter behind you.
“Ms. Fujikawa Y/N?” they ask, their voice holding a bit of edge that makes your skin tingle.
“Yeah, that’s me,” you say, a bit cautiously, as you turn to face the speaker. It’s an old woman who you recognize as Shibaba.
She’s part of a committee within the village that handles things like events and superstitious practices.
Her expression is blank and unflinching, and you can’t help but feel like whatever she’s here for can’t possibly be good. “Is everything alright?”
“You are aware of what today is, yes?” she asks, the tone of her voice making it clear that your answer to this shouldn’t be anything other than a ‘yes.’
Of course you know what today is.
It’s Harvest Day.
You never cared for it much since a.) you’re a bookkeeper, not a farmer, b.) you’re not really superstitious, and c.) you hate watching the sacrificing ceremony, it never felt right to you.
“Um… yeah. It’s Harvest Day, right?” you ask, a quizzical look on your face. Your fingers tug at the hem of your dress.
“You need to come with me,” she replies.
What? You’ve never participated in Harvest Day, let alone spoken to anyone from the committee about it. What could she want with you?
You stare at her dumbfounded, hoping for an answer.
“What? Me? Why?” you press on, trying to urge an answer out of her without provoking her to anger.
Her gaze hardens and suddenly, two guards step inside, flanking her from behind. You furrow your brows in confusion, taking an instinctive step back.
What’s going on?
Before you can question her further, Shibaba makes a gesture with her hand and the two guards beeline towards you. You step back again, but they reach out and grab you by your upper arms, pulling you towards them.
“Wha—hey! What’s going on? Let go of me!” you protest, tensing up and trying to squirm out of their grip, but they don’t relent.
They drag you out of your library, following Shibaba down the gravel roads towards the edge of town. They didn’t even bother to close the door behind them. Rude, much?
Eventually, you give up on thrashing—they’re just ignoring you and continuing their rough treatment—and begrudgingly allow yourself to be dragged to wherever it is they’re taking you.
The further you go, you notice the pathway is oddly familiar to the one that leads to Sukuna’s altar—where all the sacrifices take place.
Anxiety bubbles up in your chest, your arms tingling and going numb from the guards’ bruising grip.
The edge of the forest and the altar only get closer as they finally enter your field of vision. Heart pounding, palms sweating, the hair on your arms stand up as you look around at the disturbingly eager-looking crowd that surrounds the altar on all sides. The air smells like wax, wood, and burnt sage.
You’re roughly thrown into the middle of the crowd, who back away from you like you’re a curse yourself. Stones dig into your palms, your dress now dusted with dirt.
They start to close in on you, some holding ropes and other holding lit candles. You scramble back, pushing with your hands and feet until your back hits the base of the statue. Sukuna’s stone figure stands above you—tall, arrogant, mocking.
Even his stone carving, a mere imitation of what he’s merely been depicted as in scrolls and paintings, radiates power.
Rough, merciless hands grab you by every limb, shoving you face first into the dirt as you thrash and yell. You feel your wrists and ankles tied tightly by thick, scratchy rope, every fiber digging into your skin, piercing through like needles. A dark cloth is tied around your eyes, blocking your vision completely.
You’ve already begun to understand what’s going on, so you give up the yelling, thrashing, squirming, and protesting. Tears fill your covered eyes, dripping down your cheeks as two people drag you away into the forest.
The crowd watches heartlessly, their eyes glazed over with sadistic pleasure and selfish anticipation. Your “escorters” ignore every grunt of pain you let out as they tug you over the rocky, prickly ground.
Every blade of grass, soft flower petal, or smooth pebble that brushes against your skin contrasts how you’re feeling right now—like there’s an anvil being shoved into your chest, along with impending doom.
Silent tears—the ones that don’t get absorbed by the cloth—roll down your face from under the blindfold and gather at the point of your chin.
After what feels like endless walking, trudging, and dragging, you come to a stop. The ground beneath you feels smoother than the rest of the forest, kind of like flattened dirt and acrid stone.
You can hardly hear the murmured voices of the two men who brought you hear, your ears ringing loudly and your mind going a mile a minute.
The scent of smoke and flames fills the air, staining your lungs from the inside out. The heat gets closer and closer until you’re suddenly being manhandled, and hot, scalding liquid is poured on your skin.
You cry out and hiss in pain, trying to move away only to be roughly pulled back. The liquid on your back and arms hardens like a soft shell and you realize it’s wax. Panting, tears stream down your face freely now.
“Please,” you cry, attempting to plead for mercy a final time. “Please—let me go! I’ll do anything, please!”
But your words fall on deaf ears as you’re shoved around again, feeling like your whole body is on fire, completely helpless to save yourself.
Every nerve ending alight, your skin feeling like it’s falling apart and melting your bones with it. The agonizing pain seems to engulf you whole.
The sacrifice is a blur of fire and distorted, ritualistic chants. Your supplicants wreath you in smoke—you can taste it in the back of your throat, “purifying” you in the most vile manner.
One of them steps forward and lifts your head, using a dagger to slice a shallow cut across your forehead, causing you to nearly simultaneously pass out and throw up from the pain. The blood trickles down in a sickly stream, anointing you.
You’re dropped again, your head falling back against the ground, throbbing pain radiating through your whole being. Your limbs are numb, your hands are trembling, your whole body burns. Your once well-kept appearance is now mussed and unkempt.
You hear the frenzied, desperate voices of your supplicants, invoking Sukuna and pleading with him to take their offer and protect them until next year.
You feel immolated as you hear their rapid footsteps retreat into the woods back towards the village. All you can do is wallow in your misery and anguish. Tears gush out of your eyes like a waterfall of despair, your sobs echoing through the trees.
.
.
“Tch. Is this truly what those filthy villagers believe would satisfy me?”
A contemptuous, gravelly voice booms above you. You weakly turn your head towards it and he scoffs.
“Still alive, are you? How pathetic,” he says, the mocking words flowing from his mouth like you’re nothing but a nuisance he’s yet to be rid of. You don’t need to see him to be able to feel the menacing aura that radiates from his very bones.
There’s only one being in existence who would have such a powerful presence, one that feels like it takes up all the crevices of time and space—
Ryomen Sukuna.
You always thought of him as some sort of myth or spiritual being from long ago that your people worshipped blindly, but no, he’s real. Very, very real.
Sukuna looks down at you and uses his foot to nudge your chin up. It’s like he’s disgusted by the mere idea of a mortal, not even willing to touch you with his bare hand.
“I should just throw you with the others. I’m in need of a bit of entertainment. I’ll kill you in the end either way.”
Your heart pounds in your chest, sweat beading on every inch of your body. Chills run up and down your spine, his voice reverberating through the air around you.
“A-Are you- Sukuna..?” you manage to ask, your voice meek and shaky as you struggle to push the words from deep in your throat and off your dry tongue.
You’re tense, every hair on your body sticking up, your hackles raised as you wait for him to make a move and end you right then and there.
“What does it look like?” He’s very obviously mocking your current blind state. You know from the snickering under his breath as he circles you.
Suddenly, he grabs your upper arm and rudely pulls you to stand.
You can’t see it, but his gaze roams over your body, lingering on every place the hardened wax has molded to fit the shape of your limbs. He scoffs under his breath and then you’re being dragged.
“You’re lucky I didn’t just kill you immediately,” he claims. You can’t tell if he’s being serious or not.
He lightly shoves you away from him, but before you can fall, a pair of smaller, more gentle arms catch and steady you. “Uraume, take it. I don’t want to touch the filth.”
Uraume doesn’t reply, but she hoists you over her shoulder like you’re simply a sack of flour, and proceed to keep walking behind the King of Curses.
Sukuna walks ahead, occasionally slashing any lesser-grade curses he comes across.
He’s not entirely sure what made him want to keep you alive, but he’s not one to think about things like that.
He just tells himself–and Uraume–that he’s in need of entertainment back in his palace.
His concubines get repetitive after all, and as the King of Curses, who is he to deny a new one when she’s basically dropped into his lap?
“Master, may I ask a question?” says Uraume, her voice steady and soft. She’s used to Sukuna’s intensity and ruthlessness, but her loyalty to him has undoubtedly earned the great King’s respect.
“What. Go on, ask,” replies Sukuna.
Uraume is the only person he would allow to speak to him without resorting to permanently silencing them when he gets bored of the conversation.
“With all due respect, sir, what shall you do with this girl? Another concubine?”
“I suppose so. I’m growing bored of my other ones.”
“You usually kill your sacrifices immediately.”
“They whine and bitch too much. It’s annoying.”
“Didn’t this one do the same?”
“Uraume.”
“My apologies.”
They continued walking in silence before they reached a small clearing in the forest. Sukuna was splattered with the remains of curse guts and blood from all the exorcising he did on their way.
He flicked it off with a wave of his wrist and placed a heavy palm on Uraume’s shoulder that wasn’t carrying you. You had been silent the entire walk, your whole body tense. It’s hard to tell whether you’re in danger or not yet, but you’re not exactly comfortable.
Suddenly, it feels like your body was vaporized, every atom being pulled apart and shoved back together. You feel a bit lightheaded, your wounds starting to throb again.
Sukuna sighs dramatically and walks up to his throne. He teleported the three of you right to the middle of his palace. He plops down and spreads his legs disrespectfully wide, three of his arms draped on the arm rests while one props his chin up.
“Shall I take her to the room, your Highness?” asks Uraume, referring to you and the other concubines that reside in the palace under Sukuna’s rule.
“Yeah, yeah, I don’t care. Just throw it to the other ones. They’ll deal with it,” he says nonchalantly, talking about you as if you’re some object that needs to be taken apart and stored away.
You also can’t help but notice he keeps referring to you as ‘it.’ Rude.
You feel Uraume turn and begin walking down the long, dark, winding halls of the palace. You don’t dare speak, even though you feel a bit less like you’re about to be sliced in half at any moment now that Sukuna isn’t around.
She reaches a large door and pushes it open, your body still hung over her shoulder. The soft, whispered voices of women float to your ears, getting quieter when they notice the new presence.
“This is a new one for Lord Sukuna. Please tend to her wounds and clean her up for him,” Uraume explains, then setting your still-blindfolded self down gently on the floor before turning and leaving, shutting the door gently behind them.
There’s a moment of silence before the voices start again, some in hushed whispers and others in sweet greetings. You feel two girls begin to untie the ropes around your wrists and ankles, then finally your blindfold is removed. You blink against the light, your eyes adjusting.
“Oh, she’s quite pretty.”
“Poor thing, what happened to her?”
“Looks like she was being offered in a ritual. Look at those wax flakes!”
“Oh, how awful!”
Your vision clears and you can finally see the group of women surrounding you, some helping you to your feet. You feel gentle hands all over your body, brushing you off and taking off the wax that remains glued to your skin. They apologize when you wince from the pain and speak to each other quietly.
“Let us get you bathed,” says one woman, her eyes just as kind as her voice. She’s tall and pale, but not a ghostly pale, rather one that makes her seem like she’s glowing. Her hair is a deep brown, falling in soft waves down to her hips. You nod weakly in response to her statement.
They lead you to a room in the back with a large pool, soft swirls of steam rising from the water. The tiles are a pale white, contrasting the dark theme of the palace.
They undress you and set your old dress aside before helping you into the hot water. You flinch from the temperature at first, reminded of the hot wax that was poured on your skin, but your body slowly adjusts and you relax, sinking into a sitting position. The other women kneel around you and begin washing your hair and body.
“What’s your name?” asks one of the girls as she rakes her hands through your hair. She looks younger than the other women, her round face shining with the reflection of the water. Her hair falls in dark curls over her shoulders.
“Fujikawa,” you reply softly, your exhaustion evident in your voice. “Fujikawa Y/N.”
“It’s lovely to meet you, Fujikawa.”
Decenter men except Nanami. He is above men. A celestial gender if you will.

i think everyones obsession with experiencing "teenage love" has really messed with our perception and expectations of love in general. the concept of teenage love has been so overly romanticized, it's all people talk about now. nearly every experience that teens go through is somehow related to or revolving around finding their "teenage love".
what happened to just...living? i understand the desire to feel loved or wanted, but there are so many ways to get that other than romance!!! i can't exactly talk because i, too, am a victim of wishing to experience this teen love that everyone but me seems to have. but, i'm still aware of the effect it has on me and how it shapes my interactions and train of thought.
it's really sad because i feel like the intense seeking of romantic love takes our attention away from the most pure type of love: platonic love!! what is sweeter than the love between friends???? it's just pure, wholesome, happiness and affection for your friends and it's reciprocated!!
stop focusing on finding love and focus on the love you have/receive!! relish in it!! appreciate it!! give some more back!! whatever you put out into the universe finds its way back to you, one way or another!!
