Chapter Text
It was a summer day like any other, sunny sky’s, cookout’s, and best of all no school. Of course nothing could go wrong
______________________________
At the moment yuji’s parents were at the store shopping for dinner, and her brother was sleeping in after a full week of working overtime.
Her friends were all at cookout’s and party’s she wasn’t invited too, so her only choice for entertainment was laying on the couch watching her favorite dancing show, she had all the episodes recorded. She got bored of it fast, so bored that she fell asleep after three episodes.
*
“Yuji wake up!” She heard someone yell while she was being shaken, she so tired she didn’t want open her eyes. “I know awake get the hell up.” It was Sukuna yelling at for some odd reason.
she slowly opened her eyes right as he was going to pour water onto her. Voice groggy from sleep “Were you going to try drowning me?” She mumbled.
“Go get changed we have to go to the police station.” He said as soon as she sat up and he looked upset.
He was wearing lose black sweats and a plane white shirt.
“Why do I have to get dressed when your pretty much wearing pjs.” She whined as she got up from the couch, Sukuna look livid after she said that.
“Yuji this is not the fucking time to back talk, Get changed now!” He yelled and pointed to the stairs, she didn’t even know why he was so anger, but she didn’t want to push it went upstairs to get changed.
Now In her room she went to the closet to grab some clothes, just some simple black star leggings and a yellow sweater, she then moved to her dresser to grab a pair of socks, quickly put the clothes on and went back down stairs.
She found her brother in the kitchen looking for something, “So you gonna tell me why we have to go to the police station?” She asked as he turned around towards with her wallet in hand.
“We have to go verify a body.” He said flatly, handing her the wallet she took it as her mind started racing on whose body it could be. Surely not her parents who had yet to return home. She looked to the kitchen clock, it read 6:27 Pm which was quite late for there parents to be shopping.
Sukuna grabbed his car keys from the kitchen counter and moved to the front door, “Yuji put your shoes on we have to go.” He yelled from the door.
She shock her head and went to the door to put on her shoes. “do you know whose body it is?” She stumbled over a few words, as she prayed it wasn’t one of her parents. But who else’s body would they need to verify they don’t have many friends. as she tied her shoe lace’s.
He was silent for a moment before he started. “ the police think it mom but there was no Id anywhere so,” he paused. “That’s why we have to verify it.” He took her hand as soon as she finished tying her shoes, they walked out the door Sukuna went to lock it as yuji went straight for the car.
Sukuna came over and unlocked the car getting in and starting it, yuji got in and buckled her seat as Sukuna started backing out.
*
They arrived at the police station. On the drive she had probably bit off all her nails, it didn’t really matter though, she need something to bite. “Stop that.” Sukuna grabbed her hand not letting her bite her nails anymore.
“Geez no need to be so aggressive.” She said as she teared up, she bit her lip but she couldn’t stop the tears, after a moment she said “Kuna I-I’m scared I don’t want to see them, what if they look like,” she hiccuped, “super bad like unrecogni-“ She couldn’t continue the tears become to much. sukuna unbuckled yuji and pulled her onto his lap and held her as she cried.
Sukuna wasn’t really ever good at making people feel better with words, so he just held her, not knowing what else to do.
After a little while she stopped crying she hugged him tightly for a few more minutes. Then he said “We should head In now, can’t keep them waiting forever.” He sighed and opened the car door.
He carried her to the front door then he put her down. Then they went in, Sukuna started talking to a police officer then They were lead to a new room it was kinda cold, probably because the AC is on the highest level. Two new people entered the room, they sat down and started talking. yuji wasn’t really listening just nodded whenever Sukuna nodded, then one of the men slid over three upside down Photos and explained what was on the photos she didn’t hear any of it, she couldn’t not with the ringing in her ears. So she just stared photos dreading what was on the other side.
The man on the other side of the table said they were mostly certain it was there mother they just needed them to confirm it.
The photos were flipped yuji’s eyes went wide it was there mother her body was bent in so many wrong ways and half her face was missing. Yuji wanted to throw up But she couldn’t she had to confirm it first, both Yuji and sukuna confirmed that was indeed there mother.
Turns out there was a huge car accident it was a eight car pile up, apparently a semi truck randomly swerved causing the crash, four dead and seven injured. Heartbreakingly there parents were in the seven dead.
There father was in-paled in his chest by a pole from one of the trucks, there mother was thrown out the front window of the car. Kaori didn’t have her ID with at that time, that’s why they had to verify her identity.
Yuji wanted to cry, they died in such horrible ways, but yuji couldn’t cry right here in front of strangers. The only thing she could do was stare down at her feet.
Everything else went by in a blur, Sukuna did all the talking and paper work, and any of the other formality’s but before leaving Sukuna went to the front desk to ask for something. “Hey, Excuse me I got a question.” Sukuna said as he walked in front of the desk.
The officer at the desk raised a brow, “what can I help you with.” He asked looking away from his paper work to answer whatever question Sukuna had.
“My mother kaori, she was wearing a bracelet when she died is it possible to get it back?” Sukuna asked as he made a bracelet motion on his wrist.
The officer nodded, “let me see what I can do, Im not sure if you can get it back immediately, just wait here a moment.” the officer stood and went in a back room. Returning a while later with a few small baggies in hand. “Alright I just need you to sign a few paper before you can collect the items.” He handed Sukuna some papers
Sukuna nodded taking the offered paper work, and quickly reading and signing everything. He slid the paper work back over the desk and took the baggies of items from there parents. Yuji waved goodbye. Sukuna took yuji’s hand and they left the station.
Yuji got all settled in her seat in the car, “hey kuna, what.. what are we supposed to do now that… there gone.” Yuji asked mumbling the last bit she started tearing up thinking about how she’d never see them again.
“I’ll figure it out, it’s all gonna be fine, Your going to be fine I’ll take care of you yuji you don’t need to worry about anything else alright?” He held her hand as he talked rubbing soothing circles on the top of her hand.
Yuji nodded and pulled her hand away to curl up at the window, she truly hoped it would all be ok. They were both silent on the ride back home.
*
They arrived home at around 8:57 Pm the sun had already set, it was a little chilly, it being mid August and all so the weather was getting a little cooler. Sukuna got out the car first heading straight for the door, he turned around as he was opening the front door, we waited with the door open until yuji passed into the house.
Sukuna closed the door behind them took off his shoes and went for the kitchen, and yuji slowly untied her shoes and went upstairs, she just wanted to lay down and cry what else was she to do when both her parents were dead.
She sat down on her bed and grabbed a random pillow and that’s when the water fall of tears came out, she nuzzled into the pillow as she hiccuped from her crying, she was trying her best not to be loud, but she wasn’t that successful.
After a little while she heard knock at her door, Oh she missed when her mother would come get her for dinner and always knock 3 at the top of the door, she never knew why she always knocked at the top but she never got to ask.
“Come in.” She rasped voice raw from crying so much, the door slid open quietly Sukuna came in with a bowl of what she assumed to be food. She sat up to get a better look at the bowl and Sukuna.
“Hey Yuu I brought you some soup, you feeling hungry?” He ask as he placed the soup on the desk next to her bed. She didn’t respond just stared at the bowl, He then moved to sit next to her on the bed. She immediately laid down on his lap wanting nothing more then to just sleep.
Sukuna ran his hand through her hair to comfort her, after a few minutes she started drifting into sleep. The Exhaustion from the catastrophe of the night catching up to her. The last thing she saw before passing out was the bowl of soup steaming across the room.
