Cursed Objects

Cursed Objects. 

They were quite possibly one of his only hopes of attaining an awakening for his Cursed Energy. However, there was almost zero percent chance of him obtaining such things. They were rare and unsafe. Satoru sighed as he couldn't figure anything out. How was he even supposed to find a Cursed Object? 

You'd THINK that he could obtain an awakening through experimenting with a Cursed Tool due to them basically just being tools imbued with Cursed Energy, but that was a very flawed line of thinking. How was he supposed to awaken his Cursed Energy through the Cursed Tool? He had absolutely no idea how that would work either. 

Unlike a Cursed Object, he couldn't just have the dormant Cursed Energy have a massive spike. He'd have to somehow absorb the energy that he had no idea how to even control or see. 

There were three Cursed Objects that he knew of.. Sukuna Fingers, Cursed Wombs, and The Prison Realm. He'd either die from losing himself in the process of his personality being overwritten by the first two Cursed Objects or he could potentially be sealed in The Prison Realm.. His chances weren't looking too good.

Satoru sighed as he realized that his best chance of survival was Sukuna. Sukuna was able to choose who survived the consumption of his Cursed Object… and an Unawakened Six Eyes User wasn't exactly the worst option for him to incarnate as.

If he could potentially lock-in unlike a certain Zenin then he could possibly fuck over Sukuna trying to obtain his body. He just had to FIND a Sukuna Finger. Easier said than done. 

Sugisawa Third High School was his current theorized location of a Sukuna Finger. He DID remember that the Occult Club found the Sukuna Finger in that Highschool in the first season. Now? He had to find it.

. . .

That was surprisingly easy..? He genuinely didn't expect to get this far. He already found the Finger wrapped in talisman inside of the box that Megumi found it in. He looked around with his sunglasses on to locate Cursed Spirits that could potentially be around. None. 

Fuck it, we ball. 

Satoru quickly unwrapped the Sukuna Finger as he swallowed it and attempted to not gag from the disgustingness of the situation. 

And then? He quickly felt the poison in his system trying to kill him. Satoru's eyes widened as blood poured from every orifice that his body had. He should have fucking know! He was going to die, he was going to die, he was going to di- 

He immediately fell to the ground as he writhed around in pain. He was dying, he was dying, he was dying! IT FUCKING HURT. He was so STUPID to believe that he was the main character. He was going to die a fucking idiot in his second lifeâ€" Did Sukuna not care? Did he not want him to become a vessel? Did he overestimate his worth?! FUCK THAT! HE WON'T DIE A SECOND TIME!

"You won't die here, Satoru." A familiar voice had rung in his ears. The Archivist had spoken. "You won't die as long as you provide me with entertainment. It was a bit boring to watch you grow up.. but now you're attempting to become a Vessel for Sukuna? That is some top tier entertainment! It would be a shame to let you die. I'll give you the ability to contain Sukuna. The rest is up to you." The poison slowly receded and detoxified in his body. 

"Good job, Satoru.. You've been given a final chance." 

Satoru heaved heavily as he realized something. He had thought that he was special, the main character.. That was a lie. He only thought he was special since he was given a chance to become something more… The Archivist had revived him as a final chance to prove himself worthy. 

And then he blacked out.

. . . 

"Seriously? What a surprise, brat. You somehow survived the poison. You seem far more interesting than expected." A melodic voice was heard as it seemed more feminine than expectedâ€" No fucking shot. 

Satoru immediately rose up from his lying down position with surprise in his eyes. "Did you seriously get genderbended!? THE STRONGEST SORCERER IN HISTORY SERIOUSLY GOT GENDERBENDED?! HAHAHAHA!"

Sukuna stared at him with a disgusted and confused expression for a minute. "The hell are you talking about?" She said with a frown. "The hell does genderbend mean??"

"The greatest trope in all of fanfiction!" Satoru said with a grin. He might've gone a bit crazy when he almost died. He was already an insane bastard when he was reincarnated by depriving himself of a quirk. Now? He might've gone batshit. "I'm yapping now for some reason. You wouldn't understand anyway, Sukuna." He snickered as he placed his hand against his face with a grin. 

Sukuna stared at him with a blank expression while looking at him dead in the eyes. "It seems you might have gone mad while you were dying." She said with her arms crossed. 

"I've realized something. My complacency has almost led to my death. You've helped me snap out of it. Thank you." Satoru said with a grateful grin.

Sukuna simply giggled in response. "Never have I seen a Jujutsu Sorcerer thank me for almost killing them. You're clearly insane and somehow intriguing me despite that. I hope you stay interesting." She fades into the shadows while Satoru wakes up. 

. . .

His eyes blinked a few times before he realized he was inside a hospital. A familiar face was seen by his side after he gained his bearings.

"Aghâ€" My fucking head hurts.." Satoru muttered. "Tomoe? What are you doing here?" 

She woke up as she opened up her eyes. She would then grab Satoru's shirt. 

"The hell?!" Satoru yelled in surprise. 

"You dumbass! What the fuck happened!? You almost died!" Tomoe would berate him for his stupidity.

"Keyword; Almost. Didn't die." He said smugly. 

"Jesus Christ.. this is no time for jokes." Tomoe said with a sigh and then she smiled at him. "At least you're well enough to be even MAKING jokes." 

"Nah, I'd survive." He said with a pat on her head. 

"What does that even mean?? I swear you're referencing something, but I don't know what it is!" 

"You'll learn eventually, uncultured one." Satoru smirked as he looked around with his smirk fading. "You should probably head back home. I'll be fine." He said with a sigh. 

"Are you sure? You don't need anything?" Tomoe asked with some concern.

"Yep. I'll be fine, sis." 

She looked at him with concern before sighing and grinned at him. "Alright! Contact me if you need anything." She spoke as she left the room. Satoru stared at her leave with a smile as he waved her goodbye. 

He chuckled to himself as he looked around the room.

"Now.. I can finally see all those Cursed Spirits without those sunglasses. I'm officially him." He cackled as his Six Eyes had also awakened when his Cursed Energy spiked. He could SEE the flow of Cursed Energy. 

He wasn't Gojo Satoru with Limitless, but it was certainly a start. Now? It was time for him to lock-in.
