Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Amaya could hardly see anymore, with her vision limited to one eye now, and that eye blurred with tears of pain, she stumbled and tripped the whole way down to the cells, too dizzy to stay upright.
 
He unlocked the cell and literally threw her in before he helped Kojurou out. He locked up and checked Kojurou over. He made a noise, seeing Kojurou had both eyes still and was relieved. He took Kojurou to the healer, leaving Amaya in a daze.
 
Amaya lay in a puddle of her own blood, from both the gaping wound on her forehead, and the empty eye socket. Her body wouldn't move - couldn't move; laying on her back, she stared up at the ceiling in a semi-conscious state.
 
"Couldn't get the job done?" The voice sounded like it was underwater, echoing and vibrating, but it was easiy recognized as Akihime's. She was standing outside the cell, looking down at Amaya with judgemental eyes. "I had higher expectations for you, Ama-chan."
 
Tears mixed with the blood that ran down her face. "A-Akihime-sama.. please forgive me.." She begged weakly. Her head wound wasn't superficial, it was serious and it would kill her if enough time was allowed to go by without treating her.
 
Akihime scowled lightly and moved closer, "You did well enough, I suppose. You were careless and were thusly caught. I won't forgive such foolishness." She moved through the bars and knelt beside Amaya, "Demo...seeing you in such suffering breaks my heart.." She said, "I can't heal everything, but I can do enough to sustain you until I can come for you.."
 
Amaya did her best to follow Akihime with her gaze. "I would not deserve such a kindness from you, my lady.." She accepted, making more tears fall.
 
"Thank you... Akihime-sama.." She whispered softly, feeling her eyelids grow heavy; she had a nasty concussion and would need more medical help, but not much could be done for her if Akihime wasn't there phisically.
 
Akihime found herself back in her room at the Takeda estate. She made a noise and thought a moment before snapping her fingers. She forced some tears and began to sob, rushing from her room, "Yukimura-sama!!" She cried, "Help, please, it's terrible!!"
 
Yukimura had just left the room Lord Shingen rested in while plagued with his illness, when he heard Akihime crying out for him. A moment later she rounded the corner. "Akihime-dono..!" His face furrowed with concern as he moved closer. "What's the matter?"
 
She threw her arms around him and sobbed into his chest, "Ama-chan was captured by Date! She used what little magic she had to inform me! Please, she's not just my guardian, she's my dearest friend! I don't want her to die!" She sobbed.
 
Yukimura's face went bright red when Akihime full on embraced him, but a soft frown tugged at his lips when her heard Masamune was the culprit. "Date? Date Masamune?" He asked. "Are you sure it was him?"
 
Yukimura gave a firm nod. "Of course, I'll set out right away." He promised. "I'll bring back your friend, Akihime-dono."
 
Yukimura frowned worriedly, there was most definitely going to be a fight, and he didn't want to put Akihime in harms way, but she had a point. "I'll have Sasuke escort you to your friend once we arrive, he will keep the both of you safe."
 
Yukimura nodded, then went to ready his weapons and three horses, also alerting Sasuke of the plan along the way.
 
"She's a healer, not a battlemage, Sasuke." He scowled softly. "And I've invited her to stay under our roof as our guest, it isn't unreasonable for her to ask for aid when it is needed.
 
Sasuke scowled faintly and got everything ready to depart. Akihime soon came out, looking worried and panicked, "Please, we must hurry...!" She whimpered.
 
Yukimura nodded in agreement, helping her onto her horse before mounting his own steed. "Lets go."
The ride from Kai to Oshuu took longer than Yukimura would've liked, but when the did arrive, he was still ready to fight, long trip or not.
 
Sasuke gave an irritated sigh as he helped sneak Akihime in to find Amaya. When they arrived in the dungeons, Akihime rushed to Amaya's cell, "Ama-chan...! Wake up, I'm here...! Can you hear me?"
 
Amaya lay unconscious on the cold stone floor of the cell, dried blood covering her face, and on the floor around her. She was unresponsive, but still breathing.

Yukimura stood outside of the castle, weapons at his side. "Date Masamune!! Show yourself, admit to your wrong doing! And face it like a warrior!"
