Chereads / The Phoenix of Jujutsu Kaisen / Chapter 66 - Prologue Part 1

Chapter 66 - Prologue Part 1

~Omni pov~

Date: June 2018

Location: Tokyo Jujutsu High

Gojo can be seen sitting in an empty classroom waiting for someone.

The door to the classroom was then slid open as Megumi Fushiguro stepped inside and as he did he asked "So I heard you have a misson for me?"

"It's not really from me but from the higher ups, they want you to find a curse object. It's close to a school and the seal is close to being undone, alot of curses are being attracted to it and they want you to retrieve it."

"What is it"

Gojo then took out his phone and showed him the picture of a box with a picture of a finger wrapped in talismans.

"Special grade object 'Ryomen Sukuna', well apart of it. It's just a finger but the seal is very old and it's leaking curse energy attracting curses, so we need to get it back to reseal it"

Gojo then started to tap away on his phone.

*Ding*

It was Megumi's phone.

"There i sent you the photo and the location of it, it should be a fairly easy enough task so I'll occompany you, it good be our very own play date."

Megumi then takes out his phone and sees the location of it and just started walking away, not even bothering to acknowledge what Gojo said.

Gojo then waved Megumi off "I'll be close by so call me if you need something."

Megumi just continued walking and made his way towards the address on his phone to 'Sendai City.

When he arrived he decided to call Gojo and ask where exactly the special grade object is at.

"An outdoor thermometer box! So your telling me someone decided to put such a rare and powerful item in a place like this"

"Hehehe, if it's in a place like that it shouldn't be difficult for you to get it then"

When Megumi opened the box he notice that it was empty "There's nothing here, are you sure this is the right place"

"Huh, for real? that's hilarious. It's the real place alright so no leaving until you find it, okay?"

"I'm going to punch you so hard when I see you"

And so Megumi spent the entire time searching, he then decided to search close by 'Sugisawa Town #3 Highschool'

And as he search he stood inside a field looking around 'What's with this rugby field?. Is there a dead body hidden here or something? There's multiple curses nearby, is it due to the lingering curse energy of the special grade object'

'Why is this such a pain in the ass to retrieve, this was supposed to be a quick and easy mission and now I gotta wait till everyone leaves and come back later' Megumi thought while walking up the stairs and onto the school ground and as he did he heard

"Over here! Hurry up! The track coach, mr.takagi is taking on Yuji Itadori of west junior high!!"

WHAT SPORT" someone shouted back

"SHOT PUT!!!"

Megumi hearing all the commotion decided to see what it was all about.

Megumi just saw a teacher throw a heavy metal ball, it reached about 14 meters, which the teacher mr.takagi seemed to be pleased about.

A student then came into the circle, it was a pink hair student, Yuji Itadori.

And as Yuji stepped in, he just started to examine the metal ball in his hands and when he finished he just casually threw the ball like it weight nothing, reaching a total of 30 meter, and hitting the goal post bending the metal frame showcasing just how heavy the ball was.

Yuji then pumped his fist in the air as he cheered "All right!!, I win"

Yuji then patted the teachers shoulder "All right teach, I gotta go. Nice throw though"

Itadori's friends then called out to him "Itadori, you don't have to feel obligated to stay in the occult club you know" said a girl with a bob cut.

"Huh" Itadori just looks at them in confusion.

"A sport club would be a better club for someone like you" said the guy that was right next to the girl with the bob cut.

Itadori just awkwardly rubs the back of his head "well, I've got my reasons and I need to be home by five. Besides everyone needs to be in a club, right? You guys can't even go to haunted spots without me."

The two of them then flinch slightly knowing how true his words are.

"If it's okay with you guys, I'd like to stay. The occult is really growing on me" Yuji says which causes the other two to blush slightly.

Meanwhile Megumi is still looking at Itadori's previous throw 'He's that strong even without curse energy, that's impressive. I wonder if he's just like Ash and Zenin senpai.

Well I guess it's time to leave, I've wasted to much time already just sitting around and watching, wouldn't want Ash senpai to start teasing me about taking so long on such a easy mission.'

And as Megumi was leaving Yuji ran past him looking in a hurry, like he has some place to be. The moment Itadori passes by Megumi's eyes grew wide.

Megumi quickly snapped his head towards Itadori's direction, 'It's the curse object, I can feel it's curse energy on him. He must have it', "Hey! You wait!, why the hell are you so fast"

When Megumi called out to him, Yuji was already far ahead sprinting in a quick manner.

Although difficult Megumi had to follow the faint curse energy on Yuji in order to track him and when he found where the faint energy lead to he went inside, it was a hospital.

Due to Yuji's speed making it to the hospital was very quick but for Megumi It definitely took a while and when Megumi went inside he found Itadori signing some documents.

When Megumi noticed Yuji put the pen down he decided to call out his name "Yuji Itadori, correct? I'm from Tokyo Jujutsu High. Sorry but there's no time, the curse object you currently possess is extremely dangerous. Please hand it over"

Yuji looked at Megumi in confusion and while tilting his head he asked "Curse object?"

Megumi pulled out his phone and showed him the picture Gojo sent him "This, you have it, right?"ย 

Yuji carefully looked at the picture while pondering "Oh Yeah! I did find something similar to that. I don't mind giving it back but my senpai have taken a fondness to it. I'd at least like an explanation"

Megumi then went on to explain the complexity of what a curse are, how they're made, and where they're most likely to spawn.

"For that reason a curse object is often found at such places as a talismans, the object you found is such an item."

"A talismans?, isn't that a good thing? How's that dangerous" Yuji questions.

"A talismans sounds harmless enough. The more evil placed on a cursed object, the more it deflects the other curses. Essentially using poison to fend off poison.

After many years the seal weakens and the talisman essentially changed form, then it attracts curses and feeds on them.

Among others cursed object the one placed at your school is very dangerous and its categorized as a special grade object, now before anyone dies hand it over"

Yuji threw him the box of the finger "like I said i don't mind, here"

As Megumi caught the box, the first thing he did was check on the object.

'Empty, I came and chased him all the way here just based on the lingering curse energy on the box'

"Where the hell is it!!!"

"Like I said my senpai has it!!!"

Yuji then goes silent and puts on a pondering expression.

Megumi seeing his silence just asks him "What's wrong"

"They mentioned something about peeling off the seal tonight at school." Yuji said with a hand over his neck, he then sees Megumi with an expressionless face. "What?, is that bad".

"They'll die"

Yuji and Megumi then started running out of the hospital and made their way towards the school.

When they arrived Megumi then advises Yuji "You stay here, where's the club room"

"Wait, hold on, I'm coming with you, it's bad right? It's only been a month but they're my friends. I'm not going to abandon them"

Megumi then side eyed Yuji and reiterated "Stay Here"

When Megumi starts exploring the school he notices that the objects curse energy is all over the place.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

'Did it already leave the club room' Megumi then started running towards the direction of the scream and has he made his way towards it, he stood infront multiple curses.

Megumi just puts up a hand sign and says "You guy are a nuisance, Divine Pack" summoning 4 wolfs, two white color wolfs and two black color wolfs.

Megumi then narrows his eyes as he orders "Go and hunt"

And with that the wolfs started running killing all the Curses that got in Megumi's way. That was until he notice an abundance of curses going towards a specific direction. 'I'm close' he thought and just started sprinting even faster towards it.

When he arrived he noticed two students being sucked in a curse but before Megumi could take action Itadori jumps from the window outside and kicks the curse and pulls out his two friends from the occult club.

Before the curse could retaliate Megumi appeared with two black daggers in hand and exorcized the curse with just one swing.

"Normally I would have reprimanded you for such reckless actions but since you did well I guess I don't have to"

Yuji just looks at Megumi and ask "Why are you so high and mighty all of the sudden"

Yuji then looks at the Divine Dogs and asked what they were.

"They're my shikigami, you can see it? Normally you can't see curses, exceptions being when your close to death or a special place like this" Seeing Yuji not at least a bit frighten he asks "You're not scared, huh?"

"Well I was but did you know people die when they're dead"

Megumi just looked at Yuji like he was an idiot.

But yuji continues "So I figured that for the people I know, I want them to die properly"

Yuji then notices a finger on the ground and picked it up "this is?"

"Special grade object 'Ryomen Sukuna', well at least part of it"

However before Megumi could continue a hand came over the ceiling and was about to grab onto Yuji, who was still carrying his friend.

But before that could happen Megumi pushed him out and the and just said one word "Run" and with that the hand came crushing down on Megumi taking a hold of him.

Just as Megumi threw up the signs to summoned Nue the Curse just tossed Megumi against the wall dispelling his shikigami and blasting out of the building.

When he landed Megumi tried to catch his breath 'Damn that snapped the air out of me' and just a Megumi threw up more signs, Yuji appeared and punched the curse making it's head dropped to the ground.

'His physical strength is quite impressive'

"You okay" Yuji asked while still keeping a eye on the curse.

"I told you to run" said Megumi sitting down still trying to catch his breathe.

"I bet I'll be having nightmares if I left, so no Thank you"

"Beside I've actually have a curse of my own" Yuji thought of his grandfather's last word today 'Help people'.

Yuji then ran towards the curse and started to fight it, throwing punches to it but the curse would just get back up and taking him.

"A curse can only be exorcized by another curse" Megumi said while getting up and looking at Yuji on the floor

Yuji started to get up the floor as well "You could have told me sooner, you know"

"I told you to run didn't I, you're the only one who could carry both of your friends to safety, so hurry up and leave before we all die.

Someone like you with no curse energy will just get in the way"

"Hey, why is the curse targeting the finger"

"It plans on eating it to gain more curse energy"

Yuji coming up with a plan says "So there is a way to save everyone"

Megumi just looked at Yuji in confusion

"I just need some curse energy, right?"

Yuji then throws the finger in his mouth making Megumi stunned.

*Gulp*

"YOU DUMBASS" Megumi yells 'Thats a special grade object, a lethal poison, he'll die for sure. But there's a one in a million chance that he'll survive'

Yuji then suddenly goes quiet not long before swiping the curse from existence leaving Megumi shocked.

"HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHA AH I KNEW OT LIGHT IS BEST APPRECIATED IN THE FLESH" ????? Then started to rip apart what he was wearing leaving only his pants.

Meanwhile Megumi is just looking at this in shock 'It's the one in a million chance. The curse object Ryomen Sukuna has Incarnated'

Sukuna doesn't even look at the curse and says "A cursed spirit's flesh is no fun! WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!? THE WOMEN!?"

Sukuna then looks over the city and says "What a wonderful age it has become! Women and Childers spawing like maggots. Oh How Marvelous! IT'LL BE A MASSACRE"

Sukuna's hand then moves on his own and grabs his face and neck Sukuna then just looked at his hand in shock "Huh?"

Yuji then asked "Whadda you think you're doing with my body give it back"

"How are you able to move" Sukuna asks

"Um, it's my body why wouldn't I be able to move it" responded yuji

Just before Yuji could suppress it Megumi shouted "DON'T MOVE"

Megumi was looking in Yuji's direction ready to summon his favorite Shikigami "You're no longer human and under the regulations Jujutsu, Yuji Itadori, I will exorcized you"
