Show me (Ryomen Sukuna x Reader)

Soft ~ Ch66

"You lied to me. You said you were farmers." (Y/n) told him bitterly.
"This bitch." The trader hissed in mandarin, making (Y/n) flinch. It has been a while since she heard someone speak mandarin, it envoked a dark feeling that angrily swirled within her.
"You're lucky you didn't release me." The trader sneered, making eye-contact with (Y/n). "I would have been the first to take you. You wouldn't haven't even made it to Chifung. I would have kept you as my own personal saddle."

(Y/n)'s eyes trembled, her fists clenching into a ball as fury ignited within her soul. How could she ever have thought that these men were good?
"This is your chance to direct your anger at him, little one- feeling my own fury is enough, yours ontop of that would secure this country's fate among ash and rubble." Sukuna muttered darkly, his eyes locked on the trader who shivered at his words.

(Y/n) took in his words for the first few seconds before deciding to activate her cursed energy. Her eyes flickered shut, as she felt every ounce of her cursed energy. She wasn't sure how to direct her cursed technique to a single person. The only time that she'd ever done it was when she killed her father. If she recalled back to what she was thinking about at the time, it was the opposite of what she was trying to do. She wanted people to feel what she was feeling- she embraced her cursed technique.

Now that (Y/n) thought over this, she realised what the answer was. She spent to long running away from her technique when in reality she should have been embracing it in order to control it. If she embraced it- if she became one with it, she'd be the master of her technique and not the other way around. So, with that in mind, (Y/n) sighed, allowing all her anger to sleep into the air around her. Now, she wanted them to feel- she wanted him to feel.

Mere seconds later, (Y/n) heard gurgles of pain coming from infront of her, making her eyes snap open immediately. The man stood there chokimg on his own blood, burn marks cascading up his arms and along his necks. There was no fire and yet he was being burned- for both the inside and the outside. After watching him suffer for a few seconds, (Y/n) seemed to wake up from her trance, stumbling back with shock and breaking the cursed technique.

The Chinese trader fell to his knees with a loud groan, blood pouring down his lips and onto the ground beneath him.
"You did it." Sukuna mumbled with a growing smirk, pride radiating off his aura. (Y/n)'s hands trembling, currently feeling anything but prideful.
"I hurt him." (Y/n) whispered, honestly not knowing why she didn't expect this at the start. If these men were to be sure for her training, they would get hurt. She thought that them being sex traders would lessen the guilt- but as this man withered on the floor with loud cries, she realised her guilt was unbiased.

"You did." Sukuna agreed, "But it was only him that you hurt. Look at Uraume. Does she seem hurt to you?" With that question, (Y/n) turned to face Uraume who was stood at the edge of the yard, her hands clasped infront of her as she stared forward, as if she were waiting for her next order.
"No." (Y/n) whispered, realising that she now knew how to direct her aura to a singular person- and it took her a singular minute.

"Because you directed your anger to this bastard and only him. You're evolving your jujustu, little (L/n)." Sukuna grinned.
"But I hurt him..." (Y/n) whispered again, well aware of how pathetic she sounded and she hated herself for it. Sukuna sighed at her words before flicking his wrist to the left. In that moment, the trader screamed loudly, making (Y/n)'s eyes snap towards him. When she laid her eyes upon him, she realised that his arm had been cut clean off.

"Oh, would you look at that? Now, I've hurt him too." Sukuna then muttered dully before looking over to (Y/n), "Yours seems more like a carpet burn now, doesn't it?"
(Y/n) frowned at Sukuna's actions.
"You didn't have to do that." The (L/n) girl them whispered, making Sukuna roll his red eyes.
"Take him away, Uraume." The king of curses then ordered with a loud exhale, waving off his hand to the side.

Sukuna then turned around to face (Y/n) before walking towards her and grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at him and not the trader.
"Stop frowning. You did what you said you wanted to do. You should be celebrating." Sukuna told the girl, making her nod slowly. She did no what she said she wanted to. If it wasn't for this, she wouldn't have figured out how to direct her aura to a singular person. That was a great accomplishment.

"You're right... I'm sorry." The (L/n) girl mumbled again with pursed lips- again, making Sukuna sigh.
"And stop apologising to me." Sukuna then added with annoyance, making (Y/n) look up at him with bafflement. Sukuna longer wanted apologies from her? That was an odd request.

"Why?" (Y/n) asked him softly, looking up at him with doe eyes as he narrowed his red orbs at her.
"I'm not sure." Sukuna replied truthfully after a small hesitant pause, making (Y/n) burst out in a loud fit of giggles. For the first time in his life, Sukuna seemed unsure about her own answer.

"If anyone caught wind of this conversation, Sukuna, they may believe you to be going soft." (Y/n) mused with a smile. At this bold statement, Sukuna scoffed, glaring at the girl intently.
"Say that again. I dare you." Sukuna growled, making (Y/n) smile happily, her guilt long-forgotten. (Y/n) then quickly lunched onto her tiptoes and bravely pressed a quick kiss to Sukuna's cheek, distracting him with it before running away with a giggle while enthusiastically yelling,

"You're going soft!"
