Minehime nodded, promising Hidemune that she wouldn't blame herself, but she still felt guilt.
Three more days went by and Megohime got word of Masamune's fourth kill, relief and anger nearly consuming her. Her entire body ached, the burns on her back keeping her from moving much, if at all, and the lashes that nearly covered her body were beginning to fester, making her feel sick. The bottoms of her feet had deep puncture wounds, slashes and burns, keeping her from getting up or running. Every knuckle on her finger was bruised heavily and swollen, some fingers still dislocated, lip split and bruises covering more than half her face.
