「σανγυινε 」|| 1x1 with DarkMudkip ||

The feeling of dread twisted deep in Kojurou’s stomach, the way Matsunaga worded things, the way he had to take him to Jin rather than call her out, or even turn him away outright. And she had let her servants go? Why would she do such a thing suddenly. As Kojurou was led further into Jin’s house, the smell of blood became unbearably overpowering, yet he saw not a drop of it. Growls and snarling reached his ears, the sounds of heavy chains rattling, and the scraping of stone.
 
The feeling of dread grew heavier the closer to the sounds they became. Matsunaga pushed open a door and allowed Kojurou in first, "She's just over there."
 
The room was dimly lit, but he could manage out most of the room, and it looked like a complete nightmare what he found inside. The walls and floor were splattered with blood, old and new, severed limbs and entrails in piles on the floor, and in the center of the room, the source of the awful noises. Jin had her back to the door, but Kojurou could still see that she was struggling to get to the severed arm that was dangled above her, just out of reach and dripping blood onto her face. She growled and grunted with effort as she pulled on the chains, mouth open and tongue out to catch even the smallest drop of blood. She was completely disheveled, only wearing a bloodstained white yukata, long hair tangled and bloodied.
 
"J...Jin-dono..." Kojurou was floored, eyes wide in horror, "Wh...What happened?"
"She cheated on me. Naturally, she had to be punished." Matsunaga answered, "As do you."
 
Her punishment for cheating was for her to become feral? He had pushed her so far that she was this bad already? She turned on Kojurou, having caught his scent, snarling and snapping at him, trying desperately to reach him. Her eyes were nearly entirely red, only small amounts of her iris’ and pupils remaining, large veins running along her eyes and down her cheeks. Her teeth had also changed, her once stunted fangs now large and long; had he taken her teeth out?
 
"Oh my God..." Kojurou muttered. Matsunaga made a noise before opening her cell and pushing Kojurou in, who tried not to stumble too close to Jin.
"And your punishment is letting her kill you."
"I will not!" Kojurou snapped. Matsunaga smirked.
"The only way she'll reverse being feral is if she gets blood." He said and left.
 
She was still trying to get to Kojurou, even minutes later, struggling mindlessly, snapping her teeth and snarling. The more her looked her over, the more he saw traces of wounds upon her. The last two fingers on her hands were still broken and twisted, the other fingers bruised, burns covered her in large splotches, as did heavy bruising. How long had he been forcing her to endure her suffering? Was it the entire time he was gone?
 
She didn’t hear him, didn’t pause or even hesitate, she just continued to try and get to him. Trying to give her his own blood was too dangerous, and trying to get the arm hanging above her meant getting close to her.
 
Jin would struggle for hours, even well after it was obvious she was past exhaustion. After nearly a full day, she collapsed, gasping desperately for air, and drenched in sweat. Tears fell down her face, and saliva running down her chin. “... ro... jurou...” Her voice was strained, barely able to form words.
 
She was slumped forward on the ground, unable to properly lay down, and was forced into an uncomfortable position. Jin’s breathing was labored and ragged, face pressed against the blood stained floor, eyes starting blankly ahead of her. She was still somewhat there, able to recognize who was in the room with her.
 
She didn’t move, only her chest heaving as she seemed to struggle to breathe. “Sta...ay... aw....ay..!!” Her garbled voice came out, strained and tired.
 
She wasn’t able to form fully structured sentences, which was understandable, as it probably took great effort to focus on speaking at all. “K...Kill... me...”
 
She barely managed to pick her head up just enough to look at him, tears overflowing from her blood-red eyes. “..please...” Blood splattered her face, stained her teeth, and it occurred to Kojurou, that all of the cars parked beside the house weren’t Jin’s, and that the servants had never really left.
 
He looked up at the arm before looking down at her with a deep frown, "Jin-dono, I cannot...who would avenge your family if you are gone...?"
 
She didn’t have an answer for him, and even if she did, she doubt she could say it. Days seemed to go by, and Jin could no longer talk at all, nor could she even struggle, eyes entirely red, and too weak to move.
 
Matsunaga would return, smirking all the while, "And how are we fairing today?" He asked. Kojurou glared hatefully.
"Reverse what you have done to Jin-dono."
"You aren't in a position to be making demands." Matsunaga stated.
 
Jin could only lay slumped forward, eyes glassy and her breathing coming out in wheezes. The only thought bouncing around her head was feeding, gorging herself on blood.
 
Matsunaga moved toward Kojurou and he instinctively scrambled away, causing Matsunaga to chuckle.
"Do you want to help her?" He asked. Kojurou looked reluctant but nodded. Matsunaga held out his hand and Kojurou hesitantly took it. With a sharp twist, Matsunaga turned Kojurou's arm and cut it with a knife he had been hiding, causing Kojurou to call out.
 
The soft sound of chains rattling behind the two men brought their attention back to Jin, who was attempting to get back onto her knees, but was too weak, staring at Kojurou’s bleeding arm hungrily.
