Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

"Akihime-dono! Wait!" Yukimura hurried after her, not wanting her to return back without back up, and honestly not even thinking it through before he chased after her.
 
Akihime rushed through the castle trying to find her way back to the dungeons. She skidded to a halt and gasped in horror. Masamune had Amaya by her shirt, his gauntlet caked in blood from Amaya's busted lip and cheek. Masamune stopped when he heard Akihime and his eye turned to a slit. He grabbed Amaya by her hair and pulled a dagger from his belt. Akihime's eyes widened as he swiped the blade quickly and cut Amaya's long luxurious hair.
 
When Masamune let go of her shirt to grab her hair, Amaya sunk to her knees. Feeling the blade cut through her hair hurt her worse than any injury she had ever endured. It was a rite of passage, a status of power, and a symbol of pride. She watched long strands fall to the floor around her and instantly her face twisted in rage and horror. Tears and rage blinded her as she grabbed the dagger off her belt and spun to stab Masamune.
Yukimura had been close behind Akihime, but only close enough to witness the knife go through Amaya's Snow White hair. "Masamune-dono!!"
 
Masamune smacked the blade from her hand and pulled his fist back to punch her. Akihime smashed a massive orb of golden light into Masamune, sending him stumbling back. She was shaking, more livid than she had ever thought she was in her life. Masamuje groaned and Akihime moved to Amaya, "Ama-chan? Are you alright? I'm so sorry..."
 
Amaya ground her teeth and stood, wiping the blood from her lip. "I'm fine." Was all she managed out as she summoned a large shimmering mass that swallowed all of them, leaving Masamune on his own. They appeared in the courtyard of the estate, just before the entrance.
"Wh-What kind of magic..?" Yukimura lowered his weapons in awe, at both Akihime's performance and their teleportation to the courtyard.
 
Akihime frowned softly, "We should get you inside so I can heal you, Ama-chan.." She said gently. She turned and bowed to Yukimura, "Thank you so much for your help, Yukimura-sama.."
 
Yukimura again seemed a little dumbfounded, everything happening so fast, everything was wild and nothing made sense. "You're most welcome, Akihime-dono." He said, bowing stiffly.
Amaya looked on the verge of collapsing, never before having transported so many people at once so far before.

Megohime had been wrapped in a couple of blankets by Masamune's men, and though still in her wet clothes, she was carefully helped to Masamune's bed, where she lay on her side, still staring blankly ahead.
 
"Dana, listen to me. Akihime isn't who she claims to be. She's more than a priestess. She's more." Sasuke said firmly, standing in front of Yukimura.
Akihime frowned worriedly and helped Amaya sit down, "Are you alright, Ama-chan...? Where does it hurt?"

Masamune came into his room after a while, frowning softly when he saw Megohime. He moved over and just sat beside her, not speaking unless she wanted to.
 
Amaya was wheezing a bit at this point. "Everywhere. I'll be fine, I just expended a little too much magic.." She said weakly.
Yukimura's brows furrowed in confusion. "More than a Priestess, Sasuke, what do you mean? I don't understand."

It wasn't that Megohime refused to talk, it seemed more like she couldn't, her conscious mind trapped inside her head, not allowing her to make any decisions on her own.
 
Akihime started healing her again, frowning faintly, "I'm so sorry..." She muttered.
"She's playing you! She's planning something and she's using you to try and get it." Sasuke scowled.

He frowned, not really knowing what to do. He made a noise and stayed with her.
 
Amaya said nothing, rage seething inside of her, making her heart darken and twist with hatred.
"Playing me?" Yukimura looked a bit angered. "Sasuke, she's asked nothing of me until now, and only to save her friend."

Blood seeped through the blankets on the left side at about shoulder height. She was trembling, just barely, more than likely from being drenched in water though.
 
Akihime finisjed and held Amaya tightly, hoping to soothe her.
Sasuke scowled heavily, "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you." He huffed and walked away.

"Oh, geeze, hang on." He stood and moved to grab some gauze and wrap. He carefully removed the blankets and moved her robe so he could clean and dress her missing arm.
 
"Sasuke, wait!" The young lord chased after his assassin friend, a scowl on his face. "What do you mean, Akihime-dono, she would never do anything so dastardly..!"

Megohime, who usually like to be the one to touch others, not be touched, didn't move at all while Masamune wrapped up her bloody stump of an arm.
 
"That's because she has you coiled around her finger." He stated. "She's not what she appears to be, dana. I swore an oath to protect you and I will. Just be careful around her."

Masamune frowned and finished dressing the stump, "There. Good as new. Kinda."
 
Yukimura looked a little hurt, and a little offended, but gave a silent nod to his companion regardless.

((So when do you wanna start things off with Mini~?))
 
((Ok~))

"Minehime, my precious little tooth~" Akihime moved to the little girl and gently pet her hair, "I have a very special assignment for you~"
 
Minehime looked up from the dolls Akihime had given her, blinking in confusion. "Special assignment..?" She echoed, brows furrowing. "What is it?"
 
"There's a mean gentleman in a nearby village who said some really hurtful things about your Okaa-sama...Ama-chan is still really hurt and upeet to help, so I was wondering if you could take care of it?" She gently cupped Minehime's cheek, "Pretty please~?"
 
Minehime stared up at Akihime for a moment before she smiled happily, nodding. "Hai, Okaa-sama..!" She said, hopping to her feet.
 
Akihime smiled and kissed her head, "Thank you, my dearest~" She cooed, "His name is Nobuyuki, he has long white hair and is often seen with a dual katana. He is pretending to be part of Yukimura-sama's clan but he's using it as a ruse to subdue the weak."
 
Minehime nodded and headed for the door. "I'll make sure he doesn't say anything mean again, Okaa-sama!" She said, then left the room and went in search of this Nobuyuki gentleman.
 
Akihime smirked darkly, what better way to start cementing her rule over Kai than to take out those who could stop her? Nobuyuki was a powerful warrior, and being Yukimura's brother would make an irritating thorn in her side. Yukimura could very well believe the word of Nobuyuki better than Sasuke. And that just wouldn't do.
 
Minehime walked for a while until she reached the village Akihime had described to her, and that's where her search began. Looking for a man with white hair and two swords, she figured it wouldn't be too difficult.
