The growth process of a Curse
I am currently sick and dealing with Graduation, so sorry for everyone who was expecting their chapter.. To make it up with you guys, i'm gonna make 2 more chapters Today!
-Chapter Start-
POV: Tengen
It's been how long since my last merger? 400? Or maybe 500? Its been awhile since my last merger and my current state shows that…
I am nothing but a husk of the woman I was before. Im old and wrinkly, with my beauty faded by the fleeting passage of time.
This would usually be the end for humans and even jujutsu sorcerers. I however, am the exception. My cursed technique allows me to effectively live forever, as long as I commence a merger with someone with a compatible body with me every 500 years.
And with that time it does get pretty boring. So as to pass time, I took up the role as the heart of Jujutsu Society. With my barriers, I can limit cursed energy from spreading throughout the world while amplifying it for the country of Japan as a whole. Although there are negatives to this.
First, it only limits the cursed energy in other countries. And second, curses will inherently be stronger in Japan. But that's enough about barriers, what's currently worrying me is this curse thats been feeding off of my cursed energy lately.
From the interactions i've watch it have with jujutsu sorcerers, they're friendly. Even letting them use their shikigami's in some sort of deal. Which is way to similar to a bounding vow. But going in deeper with these deals is what concerns me…
Under the terms of using their shikigami's when the user die they tok become a shikigami of this cursed spirit. But the question is, what are they preparing for? Is it possible that they've allied themselves with the likes of kenjaku? That woulf explain alot with the disappearance of some sorcerers from a few years back.
But then again, I could be looking too far into this… Whatever's the case, I will judge them myself. If I deem them a threat, I will seal them away in the furtherst layer of the star corridor possible!
Turning to my assistant, I ask her to summon the curse to my chambers as I wait patiently…

-Makima Pov-
Its been about a month since I've been here. And to be honest, ive been doing great really. Evolution wise. All I have to do really is use my cursed technique once every blue moon to thoes who gain access to me for a shikigami. And collect the residue cursed energy from tengen.
At this rate, i'll soon be able to evolve in 6 months if I rush it. By latest it could take until next year. Speaking of Tengen. His cursed energy… is weird. It's slowly changing to one of a curse which is why i'm able to absorb it. But there are parts that I cannot absorb. That being human purts. At the current moment, the ratio is about 30-70 with human being 70.
As odd as it is, its also interesting to say the least. What could possibly be their cursed technique? After all they have lived for over a thousand years!
But back to my current state. Im nothing more than a vegetable. Im unable to move as I wish, fight or even defend myself at the moment. And im sure Kenjaku can also feel this, as our connection has weakened some. I even felt him using some of my cursed spirits that I have in hiding.
That puts me at my current predicament. Because I needed an area with rich cursed energy, I led myself into a situation where I can't do anything for the coming future…
"Maybe if i could get closer to Tengen, I can speed this up to about a week. Maybe…just maybe-" I start to mutter to myself before hearing the sound of an elevator bell ring out behind me.
"Ms.Makima." A sweet voice calls out causing me to turn around, or well roll over. From the waist down my is surrounded in a fleshy cacoon. Why it took on that form I wouldn't possibly know. Anyways, she was a tall woman with brown hair styled into a ponytail and a sweet smile wearing traditional japanese clothing. The closest thing I could use to describe her would be an angel.
I know her as Ms. Fumiyoshi. Shes Tengens messenger and would often tell me if there are any intruders, which only happened once in the past month.
"Yes? Is there an issue that needs to be handled?" I ask, sensing the tension in the air. I start to think of all the possible ways that I could use to fight in my current state before she snaps me out of my train of thought.
"Master Tengen would like to see you." She says as she pulls out a cart from behind her in the elevator. I pause momentarily before a gleeful smile grows on my face.
"With honor!" I exclaim, ignoring my current physical condition and leaping into the cart, surprising Fumiyoshi in the process. All my hopes and dreams are finally coming to!
Even if Tengen doesn't let me stay, just this meeting can cut the wait time by weeks or even an entire month!
"If I may ask Ms. Makima… Why did you choose to stay here of all places?" Ms. Fumiyoshi asks while closing the elavator as we decend deaper into the tomb.
I lean back, finally noticing how uncomfortable the cart is before giving her a reply. "Well, its 2 reasons really." I say before turning to meet her in the eyes.
"The first was is we had common interest. I give Tengen an extra layer of protection while I can absorb the cursed energy in the tomb that lays dormant to evolve fully. As you can see, I am just a Cursed Womb still. Even though I am labeled Special Grade." I say chuckling at the end
"You mean to say you can get even stronger!?" She says in surprise. Who can blame he though. At my current state, I could defeat a grade 1 sorcerer with moderate ease. Well if I wasn't in this annoying ass cacoon.
"Of course I can!" I say with a massive grin on my face.
"But dont worry too much, i'm on the side of humans." I say as a hear a sigh comr out from her, causing me to chuckle.
"Anyways the second reason…" I say as the elevator finally comes to a stop and opens, revealing a blinding white room.
"Was to meet Tengen!" I say as my eyes lay onto a withering old woman sitting in a chair waiting for my arrival.
"Welcome Makima, I've been meaning to speak to you." She says motioning me in.
Seeing this, Ms. Fumiyoshi starts to push me into the room, stopping once im a few feet away from Tengen. "Thank you Ms. Fumiyoshi." I say bowing to her as she leaves.
"Now then, Makima. Who are you?"
…
"Makima?"
"Oh what wonderful cursed energy this is!" I say in complete bliss. This takes Tengen aback from my sudden outburst before he looks down and notices the cacoon around me start to grow and cover more of my body inch by inch.
"I truly underestimated you Tengen! You're barriers truly suppresed your cursed energy by a tremendous amount! With this, I think I can fully evolve without wasting any cursed energy!" I say as the cacoon inch closer and closer up my neck.
"… You cant be serious right now…" I hear tengen mutter out in complete disbelief before the cacoon covers my head completely, trapping my body inside.
This lasted for a couple of minutes, with my body feeling different spikes of pains at random. Like jolts of lightning striking thr ground at random. It felt like my body was being severed apart and put back together multiple times over.
But once it finished, the cacoon had a red color, possibly from all the blood that was shed from my skin. And it was bulged almost twice the size it was before.
"Is this okay to watch…" I hear from outside the cacoon, finally regaining consciousness. I might have blacked in and out there… anyways!
I reach my hand out towards the top and is slides straight through the thin barrier that was protecting me. I quickly and carefully pull myself out of the barrier before noticing the difference in height.
"It seems ive grown?" I say out loud looking around, ignoring the mucus dripping down my body.
"Ahem!" Tengen calls out trying to get my attention.
"Huh? Oh… this is…embarrassing…" I say chuckling to myself. She sighs before throwing a towel over to me which I gladly use to wipe myself off with. While doing so I fully examine the changes my body undertook.
Im more muscular while still having all the feminine aspects that would drive any man crazy. Wide hips, big boobs and "Nice ass" I hear Tengen say from behind me which causes me to blush from surprise.
"Heh, thanks." I say as I start to manefest chains around my body to act as temporary clothing. "Now, lets have our conversation." I say looking down towards tengen.
"Right, who are you. Makima."
