-CHAPTER 2-

-FUSHIGURO MEGUMI POV-

What do you do when you wake up as a previously-thought-to-be-fictional character?

Well, I don't know about others but the first thing I did was try to use my new superpowers.

Closing my eyes to feel the Cursed Energy inside me, I remembered how Gojo had taught Megumi- Me –to sense it.

-And it was easy. There was a decent sized pool of cursed energy just there in my body, as if it was there and not there at the same time. If I had to pinpoint where it was, then it would be where my stomach was.

We live in this world with all of our being. Mind, Body and Soul. So cursed energy was not just in my stomach but it was actually in my whole being… My gut was just the center and not the source.

And as I achieved this "realization" I could feel my control over my internal CE control solidify, making it much easier to flow- almost at the speed of thought.

It seems like I had inherited all the skills and knowledge of Megumi along with his memories. And Gojo had trained Megumi well, despite old Megumi digging his heels and not wanting to become stronger. I could almost instinctively use even the smallest of negative emotions as a spark to create cursed energy.

Remembering how Yuji had done it in the anime, I beckoned the cursed energy that was in my body using controlled negative emotions to control it and flow it into my fists.

Opening my eyes, I smile brightly at seeing the blazing blue colored energy coating my fist. I felt that if I punched a wall right now I could probably destroy it as easily as breathing.

"Now for the best part." I smiled as I performed the hand signs required and used the Cursed Energy, using it like electricity to power the Innate Technique grafted onto my body and soul- to summon the only Shikigami that I had access to right now. "[Divine Dogs]"

It was almost instinctual, activating the technique for the first time (to me). And a hundred times easier than even flowing the energy in my fist.

""Woof!"" Barked the two slightly-bigger than normal pairs of black and white wolves as they were summoned from the shadows in front of me.

"Now this is cool." I nodded with a bright smile. I was honestly so excited about having some cool shadow-monster-summoning superpowers (anyone would be in my situation) that I almost forgot what kind of death world I was stuck in.

If I remembered correctly their specialty was their high agility and their superior tracking capabilities. Still as I curiously inspected the pair of them, I was both satisfied and disappointed to find that they were pretty much the same as Megumi's. The only difference being that they looked slightly bigger in size and more ferocious (which could honestly be because of the difference in animation and real life).

I stopped my disappointment though. I have freaking superpowers now and that is truly enough. Ten Shadows Technique is very versatile as it is. And its strength lay in the versatility all the Shikigami offered, mixing up the Shikigami and having one for every possible situation, the peak being Mahoraga's insane adaptation. Just look at Sukuna and how he had used it, sure he had a bunch of Cursed Energy at his disposal to use it to its full potential but… I could at least learn and copy some things from him right?

I kneeled in front of them, keeping a hand on both their heads as I started patting them and scratching them in the best spots possible- which I somehow knew… weird.

But judging from their happy expressions, and the wagging of their tails, they clearly enjoyed it.

While doing so I pondered. Are they even sentient? Can they think for themselves or are they just mindless husks of my cursed energy?

I knew. I knew that Megumi's biggest obstacle in becoming stronger was his attachment to his Shikigami. After all the Ten Shadows Technique's true potential was realized only after most if not all the Shikigami had died allowing the user to make Totality of them, as more than half of them were pretty weak- not even on a level of a first grade sorcerer.

And in the future I know of… Even special-grades would appear dime a dozen.

But despite knowing that… I couldn't help but be attached to them. And not even a minute had passed. Maybe this is a curse attached to the user of the technique… for ultimate power you have to give up on your attachments. It would also tie in with the whole Buddhist ideology, right?

It would also make sense of how quickly and how far Sukuna took this technique, as he was only possessing Megumi's body and leaving the burden of the technique to him. Of course this was leaving his inherent plot armor and hax abilities aside.

Unfortunately, despite lowkey wanting to. I just couldn't kill them. Despite knowing them for only a few minutes I already loved them. Even the one I hadn't mastered yet. I'm really not made to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer huh? I chuckled at that though and how the Zenin clan would react if they could hear my thoughts right now- well if I knew anything about them they would probably either be happy that I'm not becoming stronger or mad for the same reason.

Honestly the Zenin Clan was pretty hypocritical.

My old apathetic version would've laughed and scoffed at the thoughts that are going through my mind. But unfortunately- or fortunately, I wasn't me anymore. There was a part of me now that was emotional, the part that was the remnant of Fushiguro Megumi. I didn't know how it happened but now both of us were one and the same. Or maybe we had always been the same?

It was a Schrödinger's Cat, you can say. A real dilemma. There was just no way to know for sure.

But the facts were undeniable. I wasn't the old me, and I wasn't Megumi either. I was somebody new. And that thought just felt right. 

Unfortunately, I just couldn't go around calling myself someone else when my ID and official paper calls me someone else. That would either make people look at me like a person with chuunibyou syndrome or make sorcerers apprehend me to "exorcise a curse from my mind".

So yeah… calling myself Megumi for now. If I somehow become immortal though… I'll think of some other name, because no way Sukuna was named Sukuna by his mother- or maybe he was, who knows?

"Heh." I shook my head at that thought and unsummoned the cute doggos after hugging and patting them a few more times- what can I say it's really therapeutic despite the CE cost.

I was smelly from all the sweat and this body was in need of some good old sustenance. It has been a while since I ate some Japanese food.
