Sukuna will always remember that presence. That aura. That same aura that killed him 1,000 years ago, only leaving his 20 fingers and turning him into a cursed object. Him,the King of Curses, will never forget that energy.

And when he sees you emit that same aura, that same energy without even trying, he knew you and that sorcerer has gotta be somehow related. That same sorcerer that killed him.

"You must be his successor." He grinned as he dropped the head of your family member.

You looked around, and they were all dead. Your parents, siblings, and all other relatives. Your clan was completely wiped out. Everyone was dead, but you.

He kept you alive, under his care. Actually, under his and Uraume. And he never let you go. He kept training and training you again and again. You asked him why, and he just simply replied by:

"I just want another worthy opponent. He's your ancestor, so you gotta be somehow entertaining. And besides, I would like another flower to bloom right before me. But don't be mistaken, I'm planning on disposing of you when the time comes."

You didn't understand him nor his motives, and you never tried to. All you know is that you hate him. You hate that monster Ryomen Sukuna. But as time passed by, seeing Sukuna with his monstrous four arms, four eyes, and two faces became pretty normal for you.

Training with him every morning became normal for you. Cooking sessions with Uraume also became normal for you, especially baking sweets for them.

And that time he was saying never comes.

Years went by like seconds for Sukuna, but surprisingly when he's with you, it really seemed like years.

And by that time, he knew he was doomed.

He didn't know when or how it started, but he doesn't seem to make himself get rid of you. You were blooming right before him. You bloomed right before him, like he planned. But when you two fought, he didn't kill you. He was badly hurt, yes, but he didn't kill nor dispose of you.

He just kept you around, knowing the possibility that you can kill him when the time comes, and you definitely will. But he didn't care.

Kill him, curse him, hate him. He doesn't care. As long as you're under his care.

One day, as you went to buy some ingredients for your precious cake, you ran into Sukuna. He's fighting with some special class curses who think too highly of themselves. Even have the guts to ask him for a fight.

You stood right before them while holding a paper bag of ingredients, looking down at them as you were standing on the roof of a building. Sukuna immediately felt your presence.

"What are you doing here, brat?" He looked up at you, raising an eyebrow. "Go back to Uraume."

You were about to answer him when one of the curses lunged an attack on you, firing thousands of poisoned needles at you. You were about to jump out when Sukuna appeared right before you, his steel-strong body protecting you with ease, the needles crushed by colliding with his body.
