Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Jin watched him leave, glaring the whole way until he was gone, then relaxing her head back and staring blankly up at the sky.
 
"My name is Katakura Kojurou." The human who tried to save her appeared in her mind. Was there a way to even call for his aid at this point? Mitsuhide didn't seem like the type to leave a sign or two.
 
Jin couldn't help but focus on the human man who had come, insisting to his master that they should save her. They were the first people she had seen other than Mitsuhide in years.

((Time for things to go down and Kojurou to show up again~?))
 
((I will do my best~))

Kojurou couldn't keep his mind off the elf they had found in the woods, tangled in magical vines and asking them to leave rather than help her. He hoped she was ok and that she would send word to him soon however she could.
 
No word ever came of the woman, not from herself, or even a message. It was to be expected though, she had either perished or had gotten away and had not sent word to Kojurou, but either way it was a thorn under his skin, lodged deep, and no matter what he did, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread in his stomach.
 
He stood from his seat and headed out, determined to learn the fate of the mysterious elf woman. He spoke not a word to Masamune and figured to was better that way.
 
When Kojurou was leaving, night began to fall, allowing him to slip away unseen by anyone within the castle.
 
The tall wall of brambles where the woman once was was empty, but the faint-muffled cries that came from elsewhere in the grotto revealed that someone still yet lingered.
 
When Kojurou rounded the corner, the scene he was met with was one he had never witnessed before. Mitsuhide, an Ancient Elf he hadn't seen before was on top of the woman from before, inside of her. Her hands were bound by the same vines from before, keeping her from escaping, the gag still in her mouth. Her face was flushed red, and tears streamed down her face, still struggling under the man who defiled her, even if it was in vain.
 
"Release her this instant!" Kojurou flew into a rage almost instatly at the site, unsheathing his blade quickly. Mitsuhide stopped and looked back, a faint scowl crinkling his brow. "And how were you able to find this place, little human?" He turned his attention to Jin, "Did you summon him somehow?" He wrapped his hands tightly around Jin's throat. "Naughty, Jin-chan~"
 
Jin gave a muffled choking sound, eyes wide; the gag itself made it hard to breathe, but with Mitsuhide strangling her, she was already seeing black spots. Struggling to both breathe and to shake his hold on her throat, she looked to Kojurou with wide eyes that screamed for help.
 
Kojurou rushed forward and Mitsuhide blasted him back with a burst of magic. Kojurou skidded and growled, trying to figure out how to save her; obviously rushing him would do nothing. Stabbing him risked hurting Jin as well. He made a noise and rushed again, brandishing his blade. Mitsuhide turned and shot another burst of magic, only to have Kojurou hit it back at him. Not expecting such a thing, Mitsuhide took the hit full force; he was knocked forward and tumbled over the bed he had Jin bound to. Kojurou took the opportunity and threw his sword like a javelin, impaling Mitsuhide and pinning him to the ground.
 
Jin hacked and wheezed against the thick vine, rolling onto her side and trying her best the breathe clearly, but was struggling to do so. Unable to do much other than try to get the gag out of her mouth, she glanced to Mitsuhide to make sure he really was down for the count.
 
Blood dripped along Kojurou's blade, Mitsuhide wheezing as he struggled to remove the blade, "Wh-What...is this?"
"It's enchanted. Magic or anything magical cannot touch it. Find peace in whatever afterlife you go to." Kojurou hissed.
 
Jin watched Mitsuhide, sitting on the bed as he bled out on the ground. She said nothing - not that she could - and at the same time felt nothing.
 
When Mitsuhide finally died, the brambles died as well. Kojurou helped pull them off and covered Jin with his coat, "Are you alright?"
 
Jin nodded as she pulled the dead vines from her wrists and from her mouth. Coughing a few more times, she nodded, pulling the coat around herself. "Yes, thank you." She said softly.
 
Kojurou moved and ripped his sword from Mitsuhide's lifeless body, cleaning off the blood. "Do you have a place to stay?" He asked her gently.
 
She shook her head. "No, I was nomadic before.." She glared at Mitsuhide's corpse. "Him."
 
"Would you like to stay with me for now? Until we can find you a place of your own?" He offered. He didn't even think if Masamune would mind or not, and to be honest, he didn't care. He wanted to help this beautiful woman.
 
Jin looked at Kojurou, looking a bit shocked and apprehensive. "I don't wish to burden you, but I will accept your offer."
