Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

"Leave her, she's but a crying baby." He said, turning and moving over to Mitsunari. "I'm fine." He said softly, cupping his cheek.
 
Tachi stroked his cheek and took Mitsunari's hand. "Quiet, she will get hers soon." He said and pulled him close.
 
Megohime found she didn't much enjoy speaking with anyone outside of Masamune or Kojurou, they never had anything to say; and nothing compared to Masamune's terrible jokes. Still, she bumpers Akihime, following her around and listening to her drone on; Yukimura trailing close behind them as always.
 
Megohime could feel the tension in the air, she could nearly smell it, and the overwhelming hatred coming from both Mitsunari and his Demon Blade beside him. She shifted her weight from foot to foot, an uncomfortable scowl on her face, as she watched the soldiers.
 
Megohime glanced to Akihime, a soft frown still on her face. "I suppose. But I thought you didn't have men to spare?" What was she playing at?
 
Akihime smiled warmly and motioned to Mitsunari, who looked absolutely outraged. "I don't need Ishida anymore~"
"You vile harpy!!" Mitsunari hissed.
 
Tachi looked even angrier than Mitsunari, if that was even possible.
Megohime looked to Mitsunari, her frown growing before looking back to Akihime. "I'll pass, he's far too bony for my tastes." Weither she was doing it to spare Mitsunari or if she was being genuine wasn't clear.
Suddenly, something hard slammed into the side of Akihime's face, knocking her off her feet and onto her ass. Megohime looked stunned, not expecting anyone to strike Akihime, let alone a sword. Tachi was breathing heavily, a dark look in his eyes. "I've had just about enough of your games, witch."
 
Akihime gasped and held her jaw before spitting out some blood. Her eyes widened and she looked up with tears in her eyes. Mitsunari looked just as shocked, looking to Tachi with wide eyes. He was going to get splintered into shards for that. But Akihime didn't do anything. Shd only turned her head a bit and hiccuped.
"Yukimura...he struck me...I think he knocked a tooth loose..."
 
Akihime hadn't even made it halfway through her sentence before Tachi suddenly collapsed to the ground, head rolling from his shoulders and stopping at Mitsunari's feet. Yukimura flicked the blood from his spears, eyes nearly glowing with rage.
 
Mitsunari shook violently before screaming in rage and rushing at Yukimura. Akihime cast a binding spell on Mitsunari to halt him and a pacifying spell on Yukimura to keep him from killing her general. She stood and rubbed her soft swollen stomach before glancing to Megohime. "Please forgive me, I did not intend you to see such unpleasantness.."
 
Megohime looked a bit shaken up, but other than that, alright. "Yeah." Was all she said, feeling a bit awkward.

Tachi's human body remained on the ground, he wasn't dead, not truly, another Demon Weopan hadn't been used, so he was merely incapacitated for the moment. Yukimura didn't seem to notice the spell cast on him, simply standing relaxed beside Akihime, eyes dull.
 
Mitsunari was frozen in place, but his eyes showed his fury and heartbreak. He looked like he was going to cry. "Thank you for defending me, my husband~ that good for nothing chicken will know better now~"
 
Yukimura only let out a soft breath, leaning into Akihime's touch like a faithful hound. Tachi would remain in his faux dead human state until his head put back on, or he managed to heal himself, dull eyes staring back at Mitsunari.
 
Akihime moved to Tachi's head and kicked it as hard as she could and Mitsunari twitched in place. She sighed and moved over, picking up his head and grabbing the collar of his yukata before turning to Mitsunari, "I told you to control him, Ishida. This is what happens when you disobey me. Anymore insubordination and I will make sure a Living Weapon is used to remove his head next time. Am I clear?"
"C...Crystal..." Mitsunari answered. Akihime nodded and started to leave.
"The spell will cancel in a moment or so. I will have his head put back."
"Thank you...Akihime-sama..."
 
Yukimura followed Akihime without hesitation, carrying the headless body of Tachi while Akihime held his head in her hands. He didn't even glance back at Mitsunari, completely relaxed like nothing horrible had even happened.
