Sukuna turned and tossed Megumi into the trees. The throw was so powerful, Megumi ended up in the air, breezing past houses nearby. Megumi opened his eyes and saw Sukuna was in the air as well. Sukuna kicked Megumi down into the roof of an apartment complex.

The force behind the kick was so powerful, it caused Megumi to bounce off of the roof onto another one. Megumi tumbled on the roof and off the other side, launching him back into the air. Sukuna appeared beside Megumi in a flash and punched him into a building.

Megumi broke through multiple beams as he was hit through the building. Once he broke through the other side, Nue flew by and grabbed him with its claws. Nue was fast, but Sukuna was faster. He caught up to them almost instantly.

Sukuna hit Nue's back, knocking Nue and Megumi down into another building. Nue protected Megumi from most of the damage, taking most of it himself. Megumi began to go through his options, the White Divine Dog and Orochi were destroyed and Nue was at his limit.

Megumi released Nue to keep him from getting destroyed. Nue disappeared into the shadows. "I get it now," Sukuna said. "So your Shikigami are created from shadows."

"So what?" Megumi asked.

Sukuna put his hand on his chin in thought, "I don't get it though, why did you run back then?" Sukuna asked, "What a waste of talent."

"Whatever," Sukuna continued, "Either way, it won't be enough to fix this," He pointed to the hole in his chest. "You're risking your life over stupid shit," Sukuna added. Megumi stood back up on his feet.

"This brat isn't even worth that much," Sukuna continued. Megumi raised his hands once again. This time, there was a turquoise blue aura around his body. Sukuna widened his eyes in shock. He smiled evilly, "That's it."

"So this is where you start burning through your life!" Sukuna said, "Now I see. In that case," Sukuna took a couple of steps closer to Megumi, "Show me, Fushiguro Megumi!!"

"Sacred treasure swing and ring, ring Eight Grip," Megumi had a moment of realization and lowered his hands and the aura disappeared.

"Just so you know," Megumi started, "I don't have a logical reason for saving you back then. Even if it was dangerous, I couldn't bear to see a good person like you die. I did have my reservations, but ultimately, it was for selfish, emotional reasons. That's fine though. I'm not a hero."

While Megumi was speaking, the black markings on Sukuna began fading, signaling Itadori was coming back. "I'm a Jujutsu Sorcerer. So I never once regretted saving you." Megumi finished. The black markings completely disappeared and Itadori smiled.

"I see." Itadori said, "You really are smart, Fushiguro. You've put more thought into this than I have." Megumi's face softened and he smiled at the sight of his friend, "I think your conviction is a proper one," Itadori continued, "But I don't think mine's wrong either."

Blood spilled out of Itadori's chest and mouth. "Oh, sorry, I'm almost done for," Itadori said, "Guess I won't have to worry about you, Kugisaki, Gojou-sensei, or Shinimi-san."

Itadori began falling forward, "Live a long life." He whispered before collapsing in front of Megumi. Megumi's bottom lip quivered as he tilted his head back slightly. Megumi was quiet as he stood in front of his friend's body.

Meanwhile, back at the juvenile center, two figures were on the roof, looking down at Kaiya who was still too tired and worn out to move. One of the figures was sitting down on the edge of the roof, one leg dangling off of the side and the other was bent at the knee, up to her chest. The second figure was standing behind her, his green hair blowing in the wind.

The one sitting on the edge was shuffling a deck of cards with her hands. The green-haired one could hear the metal of the other one's hand creaking as she shuffled the cards mindlessly.

"Looks like she refined her domain," The green-haired one spoke.

"Hmm," The other one hummed, "And looks like Fushiguro Megumi is all grown up." 

The green-haired one nodded his head, "If she can fight Sukuna head-on like that, then she's definitely a lot stronger than before," He said.

"But it shouldn't matter. She used a lot of cursed energy. She'll be weak. Remember what she told us? Once she uses a certain amount of cursed energy, she'll be weakened for a whole week. This is our chance to kill her," The other one stood up, letting her blonde hair flow in the breeze.

"And get revenge for what she did to us." The blonde held up one of her cards in between her index and middle finger. She threw her hand out, throwing the card into a bird that was flying by.

The bird called out in pain as it fell onto the roof, the card embedded in its neck.

"Wouldn't Gojou keep a close eye on her?" The green-haired one questioned, unfazed by the abrupt violence that just happened, "Remember how he barely let her out of his sight unless he absolutely had to?"

"We just need to separate them," She walked over to the bird that was still struggling and bleeding out. She gently picked up the bird with her metal hand. She grabbed the card and pulled it out by dragging it through the bird's neck. The bird stopped moving in her hand.

"How?"

"Send her a message," She dropped the bird onto the ground, the body making a disgusting thud, "Maybe reopen some old wounds," She looked at the bloody card, holding it between her fingers again. She turned the card over and looked at the seven red hearts on it.

"Or better yet... Rub some salt in the new ones," The blonde-haired girl looked over her shoulder and smirked at the green-haired male.

"Let's hope that Maki girl is still around," She made her way back to the male. "And we can also target--"

"--Kaiya!!" They heard a faint voice yell. The two of them looked over the edge of the roof, watching Megumi Fushiguro run back to Kaiya.

"Him," The blonde looked at the male, "Kaiya's a Reaper. Reapers are protective and loyal creatures. Target the ones they love and they won't think straight. Pushing Kaiya to her limits should be no problem."

"Find me a rat," She ordered, turning away from him.

"She hates those," She added, walking away.

"Sure thing."
