Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

When he left the bathroom, he could hear the soft slosh of water, and upon returning, found Jin sitting in the warm bath water. She had her knees pulled up to her chest, hugging her legs as she watched the steam roll off the water.
 
He washed her gently, taking it slow with her, his chest aching, "We'll get some sleep after this and then tomorrow we'll spend the whole day together with Shigenaga...would you like that...?"
 
She sat still as he scrubbed her back, looking at the soap suds that covered her arm, but she didn't answer him. She wiped at the bubbles, pushing them from her arm into the water, watching them swirl away.
 
Jin walked silently, and upon reaching the bed, crawled onto it and under the covers, pulling them clear up to her nose and resting against the pillow. Her damp hair was considerably shorter, at the shortest point, being just under her arms. Still though, it was cut unevenly and needed fixing, but it could wait until later on.
 
He moved into bed with her and carefully pulled her close, holding her tight, "I won't let you leave my sight from now on...I'll protect you always..." He told her softly, "I love you so much..."
 
Jin lay comfortably against him for quite some time before she fell asleep, breathing slowly and steadily.
 
Jin rested well into the afternoon, laying beside Kojurou and holding onto him for comfort, the only thing disrupting the peace being a sudden knock at the door. Jin shot up in bed, staring at the door with wide eyes before scrambling out of bed and to the far corner.

((Masamune please~?))
 
"Kojurou?" It was Masamune. There was another sound, it sounded like a baby crying. "Kojurou, I think your kid is hungry."
"Hai-hai, one moment." Kojurou pushed himself up and stretched before heading to the door.
 
Jin whimpered softly when she heard Masamune's voice, but perked when she heard her sons cries of hunger. She took a hesitant step forward, looking conflicted and afraid.
 
Kojurou turned to her and frowned, raising his hand to signal that it would be ok before opening the door and moving to take his son gently from Masamune.
 
Jin stood where she was, but as soon as she saw Masamune, even just enough of him to see who it was, she lost it. She let out a horrid scream, stumbling backward into the corner of the room, knocking over the bedside table in the process.
 
Jin was only fueled by Shigenaga's cries, baring her teeth and grabbing the oil lamp from the floor. She charged at Masamune, who in her mind, was the one to mKe Shigenaga cry.
 
"Whoa, whoa!" Masamune backed away, Kojurou helpless to stop Jin with Shigenaga in his arms.
"Jin, stop!" Kojurou secured Shigenaga in one arm and grabbed his wife around the waist with the other.
 
Jin hurled the empty lamp at Masamune, struggling against Kojurou as she spat and hissed at him like a wild animal. As quickly as she had charged at Masamune, she had snatched Shigenaga from Kojurou and was retreating back to the far corner, cradling the boy gently. She was careful, extremely gentle, cooing to him and rocking him in her arms, her back to the two.
 
"Is she ok?" Masamune asked. Kojurou frowned softly.
"Please forgive her, she was attacked last night by Toyotomi soldiers. They defiled her."
"Oh shit..." Masamune frowned, "Did you deal with them?"
"Not yet. I believe she just needs time. Please just come get me or Kita is Shigenaga needs tending.."
"Yeah sure..." Masamune nodded and left quietly. Kojurou shut the door and turned to Jin.
"He's gone now. Is Shigenaga alright?" He asked gently, moving over slowly.
 
Jin looked over her shoulder anxiously, but Shigenaga had quieted down- Jin was feeding him, the babe feeding from her breast, tiny hands grasping at her choppy hair. She looked nervous when Kojurou got closer, shuffling away from him a couple of paces, but not making any noise.
 
She stared at him for a moment longer before turning her attention back on Shigenaga, gently petting his head as he fed, her expression becoming soft as she stared at him.
 
Jin moved to the bed once she was alone, cradling her son and soothing him to sleep after he had fed, laying down and curling up around him.
 
After a little while, the door opened slowly and Kita peeked in. She saw Jin and Shigenaga asleep and wondered if she should come back later. They seemed pretty safe and content to her.
 
Jin stirred when the door opened, lifting her head and looking to Kita with bleary eyes. She pulled her sleeping child closer, a worried look crossing her face.
