Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Akihime grabbed the keys and unlocked the cell, moving in and beginning to heal Amaya.

Masamune came out after a bit and scowled, "Wrong doing? What the hell are you going on about?"
 
"You've kidnapped a woman. I didn't take you as that kind of man, Masamune-dono, but it seems I was sorely mistaken." He frowned heavily, gripping his spears tightly.
 
"A trusted friend." He said, readying his spears. "She came to me because you've taken and harmed her friend!"
 
"A trusted friend? Long dark red hair?" He moved closer, his muscles growing tense, "Fancy clothes? Honey sweet voice?" His voice grew heavier with his rage.
 
Yukimura was taken aback that he knew what Akihime looked like, frowning in confusion. "Akihime-dono.. how do you know her? Sure you can't say any of this was her fault." His brows furrowed in anger. "She's been in the Takeda estate all day and night."
 
"That bitch took my sword from me!" Masamune snapped, gripping his broadsword, "How are you so sure she hasn't left at all? She has powerful control over magic. Who's to say she hasn't charmed you."
 
Yukimura brought his spears up, scowling heavily now. "Akihime-dono, deserves more respect, she saved the people of Kai!"
 
Yukimura rushed forward as well, meeting Masamune halfway with a hard thrust of his spears, blocking his blade. "You know not of which she has done!"
 
"She healed my people when they were plagued with illness! She is a kind person, I've seen it with my own eyes, she wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally!" Yukimura shot back. The fight was inturrupted when one of Masamune's men came running from the castle, a worried look on his face. "Big Boss! Your sword, she- she's back but-" He looked like he was unsure of what he was saying next. "She isn't herself!"
 
Yukimura stumbled back, surprised when Masamune made a sudden b-line back for his castle, he wasn't sure what to do.

"In the forge, I had only put the blade in the water when there was a woman instead." He said, leading Masamune to the forges.
 
Masamune moved into the forge, worried for Megohime. He had no idea what had become of her after she was shattered.

Akihime finished healing Amaya, even mending her missing eye. She smiled softly and gently pet Amaya's hair, having the exhausted elf rest her head on her lap. "There, Ama-chan...all better, just as I promised..." She said gently.
 
Megohime was slumped over in the large container of water used to cool blades, steam still rolling off of her body. Her head hung limp and she was soaked with water, but still was covered in small cuts and had tears in her clothes.

Amaya, who moments before looked to be on the verge of death opened her eyes - one of which who had previously been gouged out, now completely whole. Sitting up she wiped at the dried blood on her face, ignoring the blood in her hair. Glancing to Sasuke, she scowled softly. "Why is he here?"
 
"Megohime...?" He moved over and looked over the wounds, "Hey, can you hear me...?"

"I had Yukimura help me get here. He insisted Sasuke sneak me in." She answered gently.
"I knew something was up with you two." Sasuke growled. Akihime looked back at him with a blank and bored expression.
"He won't believe you, you know. Not a single word." She told him flatly.
 
Megohime didn't flinch, didn't move, she only remained in the water, staring ahead blankly. Her wet hair was stuck to her face, hiding most of it, but he could see her eyes; they were lifeless, but she was still breathing. That's when he would become aware the water she was sitting in was blood red, no, it was her blood mixed with the water, and her left arm was completely gone, her robe sleeve empty.

Amaya stared at Sasuke a moment longer before looking to Akihime. "We need to leave, I can move on my own now." She said softly, standing up.
 
"Get her to my room so she can recover."
"Yes, Big Boss!" Two of Masamune's men helped her out of the tub as gently as possible, guidi g her to Masamune's room. Masamune made a war path to the dungeons, ready to rip off the head of that damned elf.

Akihime nodded and stood with Amaya, "I'm sure Yukimura has Date fairly occupied."
 
Amaya took Akihime's hand in her own, leading her out of the cell and up the stairs, not looking back to see if Sasuke was following or not, in all honesty, she didn't care. "This way."
 
Akihime followed, holding Amaya's hand tightly. Sasuke left to find Yukimura, scowling hatefully at the two who left him. Yukimura was still standing in front of the manor looking dumbfounded. "Dana, the priestess has her guardian, they're making their way out now."
 
"They're still in the castle?" Yukimura looked horrified, turning his gaze back onto the massive building before them. "Where inside?"

Amaya and Akihime had run into a bit of a road block, a rather angry one. Masamune stopped the two from leaving, keeping them from passing through the corridor.
 
"Not far from the dungeon. I came to get you to see what your next move was." He answered. "We coud just leave." He said under his breath.

"And just where do you two think you're going?" Masamune growled. Akihime smiled harmlessly.
"We were just leaving." She replied. Masamune scowled and snorted.
"I don't think so." He corrected.
 
Amaya waved her hand in the air, creating the same familiar shimmering mist, and quickly ushering Akihime through, eyes locked with Masamune's.
"I'm going inside." Yukimura either ignored Sasuke's statement or didn't hear it, but either way, he started toward the keep with determination, only to come to an abrupt halt as Akihime came out of a shimmering mist just in front of him.
 
Akihime blinked and smiled, "Hello, Yukimura-sama!" She greeted. Sasuke scowled, "Where's your friend?" "Dealing with Date. She should be fine." Akihime said dismissively. Sasuke felt his scowl worsen. "Isn't Date the reason we came here in the first place? Because he pummeled her?" "Yes, well, Ama-chan is incredibly skilled and-" She stopped and gasped, "I should make sure she's ok!" She quickly turned heel and rushed inside.
