Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

“You’ll be waiting pretty damn long then, ‘cus there’s no way I’ll stop being pissed!” She grunted as she managed to sit up, but only just barely.
 
“Wait!” She ground her teeth together, nearly shaking. “What have you done with him?” She asked lowly.
 
“I’m calm.” Megohime forced out, more worried about Masamune’s wellbeing. “Is he hurt?”
 
She felt her anger spike again. “Cowardice? What cowardice? He fought you until the very end, you burned down villages armed only with garndening tools, killed women and children, and you have the nerve to call him a coward?”
 
She averted her eyes, looking remorseful if only by a little, "The children were unfortunate casualties..." She said softly, "I didn't wish for any harm to come to them."
 
“Unfortunate casualties?” Her tone got sharp, and her eyes were slits. “You murdered them in cold blood, slaughtered them in wantonly so you could display your overinflated ego.”
 
Megohime could feel the air being sucked slowly, painfully, from her lungs; yet Akihime didn't move an inch. "Let's make one thing very clear, Megohime-dono. When you were a guest in my home before, I was very lenient in my punishments and I would allow you your snide and rude comments. No longer. While you are in my home, you will be polite and grateful. Any rudeness will be met with swift and harsh discipline."
 
Megohime winced and bared her teeth at Akihime, trying to ignore the pain in her lungs, forcing out two last words before al the air was gone. “Child murderer.”
 
Akihime ripped the air from Megohime's lungs so fast she felt like her ribs would shatter from the force. She moved closer and watched her struggle to breath like a beached fish with cold uncaring eyes. "Do you feel that pain, Megohime-dono? That searing burn in your chest? Your abhorrent behavior is not only causing you this agony, but Date-sama as well. Do you want that? Do you want him to feel like he's drowning because you can't hold your tongue?"
 
Megohime writhed on the bed, clenching her teeth so hard she was sure they would shatter. Would Masamune be begging her to stop, or would he tell her to keep fighting.
 
Akihime turned away and Megohime could breathe again. She headed for the door and moved to leave. "When you realize the err of your ways, we will see Date-sama. Until then, you will sit here and think about what you've done." She said and left.
 
Megohime ground her teeth, glaring at the door and gasping for breath. After a while of screaming and yelling, she finally settled down, glaring at the wall as she waited.
 
It would be a couple hours before Akihime would return. She stood with her hands in her sleeves and stared down at Megohime, "Are you ready to see Date-sama?"
 
Akihime moved and untied the ropes before guiding her out and to the courtyard. "It was a little difficult punishing him but he gave up after a while." Akihime said before stopping in front of a nightmarish sight. Masamune was hanging from a large cross, thick large nails pierced into his palms and a chain around his neck. How did Megohime mot know of this? Was it the collar?
 
Megohime’s eyes widened slowly, and she sunk to her knees, a horrible scream tearing from her throat, tears immediately pouring down her face.
 
“Let him down!” Megohime looked back to Akihime, eyes full of despair. “Please! You have to let him down, he’s dying!” She couldn’t tell if he was actually dying, but she couldn’t stand seeing Masamune like that.
 
"I'm afraid I cannot," she replied, "He has sinned far too much to be let off with just a slap on the wrist." She looked to Megohime with uncaring eyes. "He has shade, he will be given food and water until I deem his punishment over."
 
“No! I’ll take his punishment for him!” She begged. “You’ll kill him, please!” She was only her hands and knees at Akihime’s feet. “I’ll do anything!”
 
“Please, I beg of you, find some other punishment to implore,” She wouldn’t let up, eyes burning with tears. “Please!”
