    RYŌMEN-SUKUNA LOVED NOBODY. correction: ryōmen-sukuna only loved one person, and that was his little sister — ryōmen-sumira.

the two have been together since her arrival into this wretched world.

     how she came to be was the exact way that sukuna had changed into a curse.

     at first, the king of curses wasn't fond of sumira in the slightest, however, she clung onto him like her life depended on it, as he was her only blood related family left.

     hence he was left with no other option than to overlook her, as she couldn't die, no matter how much sukuna had originally wanted her to.

     though their happy days of torturing others and burning villages — mostly done by sukuna — didn't last long, as the older curse was quickly sealed away, leaving sumira to escape and hide for at least another few hundred years or so.

     which brings us to the present day, where itadori yūji has already swallowed a finger of sukuna's, instantly becoming his vessel.

"there's been a numerous amount of incidents around the bunkyō ward, specifically at the nezu shrine", gojō stated.

"is it a special grade?", kugisaki questioned.

"mm...it's not actually very clear. all we know is that there's a lot of grade twos and a few grade ones, so you three should be okay!", gojō smiled, making fushiguro a bit skeptical.

     "okay, so when do we go?", itadori asked, scratching the back of his head.

"right now! the shrine's closed, which is the perfect time for you three to break in", gojō replied.

     "anyways, good luck and see you three later!!", the white-haired man waved, as he swiftly left.

     the three first-years glanced at each other, sighing.

     "should we get dinner first?"

itadori, fushiguro, and kugisaki all walked side by side, as there were many torii leading to the main shrine.

a giggling sound was then heard, causing the three to stop, as kugisaki took out her hammer and nails, meanwhile fushiguro had summoned his shikigami dogs.

     itadori then felt sukuna's mouth and eye pop out from the side of his face, making him confused, as usually the curse didn't care about anything, or anyone.

     "who are you guys?", a young child suddenly asked, making the three snap around as their eyes widened in shock.

     curses of all sizes and shapes were standing right behind the red-eyed girl, making gurgling sounds, as their saliva oozed out from their grotesque faces.

     though itadori was just a beginner, even he could feel the overwhelming presence of a special grade amongst them; he just didn't know where or which one it was.

     "BE CAREFUL!! THERE'S—"

     "don't come any closer!", the girl warned, making itadori stop after taking one step forward, as he wasn't sure whether the young child was even able to see the curses behind her or not.

"please come over here, little one! it's really dangerous for you to be here all alone", kugisaki warned.

fushiguro's dogs started snarling at the petite coral-haired girl, making her glare at them, causing them to slightly whimper in fear.

"you cannot hurt my friends", the child stated.

"huh? what are you—"

"you heard her! she said don't hurt her friends, you idiot", sukuna interrupted, making the young girl's eyes widen.

"o-onii-chan? IS THAT YOU?!"

itadori and kugisaki furrowed their brows.

"HAH?! ONII-CHAN?!?!"

sumira widely smiled as she hurriedly ran over to itadori, pulling on the hem of his pants.

"onii-chan, what are you doing?? come out and see me already!!", the little girl sweetly demanded.

     "wait, wait, wait!! I never knew sukuna had a sister!", itadori exclaimed, utterly baffled.

     "I didn't either...", fushiguro mumbled, scratching his head in confusion as he wasn't sure what to do now.

     "let my onii-chan out, mister! I haven't seen him in at least a thousand years!! LET HIM OUT, LET HIM OUT, LET HIM OUT!!", sumira whined, making itadori look towards his teammates for advice.

     the two hesitantly nodded, to which markings had appeared on itadori's body, along with a proud grin.

     sumira suddenly felt tears spill out of her matching red eyes, as it has been too long since she's seen her brother.

     "oi! the hell are you crying for? you don't get to cry when I'm stuck in this dumbass's body 24/7", sukuna scoffed, picking the little girl up, as he begrudgingly carried her.

     sumira immediately wrapped her stubby arms around sukuna's neck, nearly squeezing the living breath out of him.

     "I-I missed you so much!! I was so lonely! and...and I had no one to play with or eat dinner with...except for them", sumira hiccuped, feeling sukuna sigh, as he only patted her back.

     the other curses bowed, as they were in the presence of their king.

     fushiguro and kugisaki just stood there, shocked at sukuna's somewhat "nice" side, but even more bamboozled by the little girl's existence.

     "what the fuck are you two staring at? never seen siblings before?!", sukuna spat, making sumira nod.

     "yeah, humans are so rude. what were you guys going to do, exorcise my friends and I?", sumira huffed, still clinging onto sukuna as she glared at the two shamans.

     "we—"

     sumira suddenly held her hand up, stopping kugisaki mid sentence.

     "save it for someone who cares", the little girl sassed, making the orange-haired girl gasp.

     "since you already know our purpose here, there's no need to hide anymore. lead us to the special grade so that we can exorcise it", fushiguro demanded, to which sukuna had snorted.

sumira then raised a brow, staring at the dark-haired boy in all seriousness.

"I'm right here", sumira calmly stated.

kugisaki nearly choked.

"no way! you're...a child!"

"exactly, so leave her the fuck alone, or I'll kill all of you", sukuna threatened, making the two first-years slightly sweat, as sumira smiled, grabbing her brother's face and squishing it against hers.

"yeah, yeah!! leave us the fuc—"

     "woahhh!! and who do we have here?", a voice suddenly interrupted, making the low level curses immediately go into hiding, as the strongest sorcerer was in front of them.

     "I'm ryōmen-sumira!!", the little girl waved, happy that somebody has finally acknowledged her and asked for her name.

     "oho? sukuna's little sister?"

     "g-gojō-sensei, what are you—"

     "I had a little inkling that you guys would need my help. what can I say? I'm just amazing like that", the male self-praised, sauntering over to the two curses, as sukuna immediately scowled at the shaman.

     "say, do you want to stay with your brother?", gojō asked, making the girl vigorously nod.

     "then how about we make a deal?"

     "a deal...?"

     "hey! don't put ideas in her head!", sukuna snarled, to which gojō had flicked the man's forehead, immediately returning itadori.

     sumira suddenly flinched, pouting, as her tears started to rise.

     "b-bring him back!!", she demanded.

     "only if you agree to my deal", gojō compromised, patting the little girl's head as it slightly calmed her.

     "you help us find the rest of your brother's fingers, and you can stay with him for all of eternity", gojō lied, to which sumira had hesitantly nodded.

     "okay..."

     gojō smiled as he gave itadori a thumbs up, to which the boy had rolled his eyes before switching out with sukuna once more.

     "mah~ enjoy your happy days together, ryōmen-sukuna and ryōmen-sumira!"
