Chapter 55- Battle with Sukuna

"That's such a let down, Nanami. I thought you were smarter than those fools." *Sachiko said with a frown.

Nanami didn't know what he should reply at that moment. Everything had been so bizarre with all those curses run amok under Nakamura's control and her decision to spare his life. What he had known was that Gojo hid her from higher ups after being announced as a traitor and that they were together since then. If things were really like that, it was unlikely that she would get involved in sealing Gojo. As much as she acted like she felt guilty for that, Nanami felt that something was amiss.

'Was she working with them all this time?'

He thought. If it is not like that, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Right, since you are unwilling to join, let's just...do this."

*Sachiko made a katana out of her cursed energy and hit Nanami's head with its hilt, knocking him out.

Seeing that Sukuna was looking at her weirdly, she said, "Well, I didn't feel like having witnesses."

Sukuna asked, "Then, why didn't you kill him? You don't look like you would hesitate to kill."

"It's true that I don't. But, I have a plan for him so letting him die now is a waste."

"Interesting but that plan can only work if you are alive."

Sukuna said, "And I've long decided to kill you."

"And why is that?" *Sachiko asked with a chuckle.

"You get on my nerves." Sukuna replied.

"What a coincidence! You get on my nerves too. But, I can't kill you yet. Such a pity." *Sachiko said.

Sukuna started to attack *Sachiko at this point but she dodged and canceled out Sukuna's attack while leading her to *Sachiko, before disappearing from his view.

Sukuna would notice something was amiss but it was fine as long as Itadori Yuuji and Nanami had not notice yet.

--------------------

After killing the hundreds of curses that were targetting her, Sachiko rushed to Gojo again. She could feel that time was running out and she felt like if she didn't hurry, she wouldn't see him again.

So, she ran.

But, unfortunately, she was bumped into Sukuna on her way.

Sukuna frowned as he noticed something was amiss and this Sachiko was not the one he was chasing earlier. However , it wasn't like this Sachiko didn't get on his nerves. Actually, she was even worse, going as far as slapping him in the face and humiliating him.

So, Sukuna saw no problem in killing them both.

"Sukuna?" Sachiko was surprised to see Sukuna.

'What happened? There were hundreds of mutated curses and now, Sukuna? No wonder I didn't come across any Jujutsu sorcerers. They most likely retreated.'

Sukuna started attacking her not long after and Sachiko had no choice but to fight with him.

"You are on your way to save that guy, Gojo Satoru? I will tell you it's impossible." Sukuna taunted.

"And why is that? Is it because you're going to stop me?" Sachiko said, impatient.

Sukuna didn't reply , just laughed.

Sachiko started attacking Sukuna with blast after blasts of cursed energy while seeing his possible moves with Possibility. She knew she was wasting a lot of cursed energy and overusing Possibility but she couldn't bring herself to care at that moment.

While it didn't matter if she wasted cursed energy or not, there is a problem if she overwhelmed herself by overusing Possibility.

Still , she couldn't care less.

After exchanging some blows, she could feel that Sukuna got a lot stronger than he was back then.

"How many fingers did you eat? Was it about twelve or more?"

Sukuna scoffed and said, "Why? Can't handle anymore?"

"I'm not even at my full power yet." He continued mockingly.

"That's not it." Sachiko shook her head.

Then, Sachiko used her cursed energy to attack Sukuna and at the same time, tried to control Sukuna's cursed energy.

After a few tries, she managed to seal the flow of his cursed energy.

Just when she was about to make a finishing move, Sukuna broke free and started using his domain.

"Think you could win just like that?" He laughed.

"Domain Expansion."

"Malevolent Shrine."

Sachiko quickly protected herself with simple domain as soon as she noticed Sukuna started activating his domain.

'He's almost equally matched with me. I thought I got stronger but still, I can't win against him easily without bringing out my Possibility.' Sachiko thought.

'But, the problem is I overused my possibility and I'm starting to get overwhelmed. If I use my domain expansion now, will it work? Can I do it?'

Sachiko shook her head.

'It's not a matter of if I can. I have to do this.'

Sachiko then started using her domain, "Domain Expansion."

"Myriad Possibilities."

At the activation of Sachiko's domain, the domains clashed and as they held almost equal power, Sachiko didn't know what would happen.

However, in the end, Sukuna lost and they were brought into Sachiko's domain.

"Now, what should I do with you?" Sachiko thought.

She wanted to kill Sukuna but there was Itadori, too. Although Sachiko thinks they aren't on good terms anymore, killing him is going too far.

Not to mention how Satoru wanted Itadori to live and join him. Knowing all of that, she couldn't bring herself to destroy that dream of Satoru.

"Give Itadori's body back and don't ever come out again."

Sachiko decided to make use of her domain and seal Sukuna.

"That's not gonna happen." Sukuna scoffed.

"It will. This is my domain and the fact that I won earlier means I'm stronger than you, even if it's only a little. And that's why, my domain will make it possible." Sachiko said.

It sounded absurd but Sukuna felt like losing control of the body and drifting off to sleep.

"Am I really getting sealed?" Sukuna muttered.

Sachiko wasn't sure how it worked but Itadori's body lied motionless as Sukuna lost control and Itadori probably hadn't recovered yet.

Sachiko didn't want to stay longer so after getting out of her domain, she left him there.

As she was in a rush, she didn't see some crows watching the whole fight.
