Gurenge (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)

A scrawny hand came creeping out from under Hidemune’s collar, a young girl no older than fourteen crawling partway out from beneath his clothes, as if appearing from nowhere. “I want to leave… Crowds are unpleasant..” She said quietly, hanging off his shoulder, wild brown hair hiding most of her face. Other than her seemingly appearing from Hidemune’s clothes Minehime appeared to be that of a normal young girl.
 
A demon came up beside Masamune, bowing his head before speaking. “Masamune-sama, I have a report on Megohime-dono; her condition is continuing to decline steadily. The child within her is growing steadily, but it seems to be at the cost of the mother.”
 
Masamune could smell her blood before even entering the room, and when he did it was all over her. She was leaking blood from every orifice, a few other demons doing their best to keep her cleaned up and stable sitting at her bedside. When Masamune entered Megohime’s eyes opened slowly, completely blood shot, and leaking blood.
 
His eyes widened in horror and he moved over to her, "M...Megohime, what...how did this happen...?!" She was fine just the day before, how did it escalate like this?
 
Megohime smiled weakly, coughing as he came over. “I’m sorry, Masamune-sama..” She said softly. “I think the child is making me ill..” Her belly was noticeable now, a small bump protruding from under the heavy blanket.
 
She was dying. He could see it now. Perhaps Kojurou had been right all along. He scowled and knelt beside her, "Megohime...I'm going to ask you something very important...it'll save you both...but I understand if you wouldn't want to.."
 
Megohime shook her head slowly. “Anything, Masamune-sama, anything you ask of me… I will agree..”
 
Megohime felt her heart jump into her throat, but she didn’t want her unborn child to die. “I’ll do it..” She said weakly. “I don’t want to lose our child..”
 
Megohime was scared, she didn’t want to be in any pain, but she had little choice. “How long will it last?” She asked, blood dripping from her nose.
 
Megohime nodded again, leaning her head against his hand, she was so tired already, eyelids heavy. “I’ll do it..”
 
Megohime opened her mouth to let his blood drip inside, ignoring the taste the best she could. After a few more drops, she swallowed what she had in her mouth, and almost immediately it felt like an electric shock going through her. She gasped and groaned in pain, it only getting worse.
 
The other demons left without question, hurrying out of the room quietly as guttural screams rang through the halls, alerting all to Megohime’s agony.
 
The scene he would come upon was that of pure horror- Megohime was in bed, blood pouring from her mouth and nose, hacking and coughing between screams, Masamune sitting by and watching.
 
"What's happening?! Why are you just watching?!" Kojurou yelled. Masamune didn't turn.
"She's turning." He answered simply and Kojurou felt his whole body tense. Turning? Into a demon? He reached for his nichirin blade out of habit, but it had been revoked, so he rushed forward and punched Masamune hard in the face.
