Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Megohime made a noise and tangled her clawed fingers through his wild hair, giving a slight tug.
 
Megohime pulled away from the kiss to bite Masamune's neck, letting her sharp fangs brush against his skin. "What's the matter, don't like being on bottom?" Her voiced was a husky purr in his ear, followed by a gentle nip at his earlobe.
 
Akihime hummed softly as she worked around her secret room, which was actually just her projecting herself back into her tower back home. Nobuyuki was standing silently, like he was awaiting orders, but he was struggling to regain control of his will. He had to warn Yukimura, tell him that this priestess was more than she let on. He could knock her unconscious and run, but what would stop the protector that was skulking around, or the small child who was more powerful than she appeared. He had to think, he didn't have a lot of time.
 
Minehime sat in the corner of the room playing absentmindedly with her dolls, a frown weighing heavy on her face. Too ashamed to look at Nobuyuki, she kept her gaze down; she didn't want to hurt anyone, and what Akihime was doing felt wrong, but she was scared.
 
"Nobuyuki-sama," Akihime's voice dripped that fake sweetness of hers as she turned to face him, "I have a small job for you, please. I need you to take this poison and dump it into the water supply. That way I can be called upon to save the day~"
"Are you...insane...?!" Nobuyuki struggled to growl, narrowing his eyes, "I will not poison my people so you can be the hero." Akihime made a disapproving noise.
"Seems my spell is wearing off." She muttered and moved closer. Nobuyuki clenched his fist tight, waiting for the right moment.
 
Minehime turned her gaze to the two, fidgeting uneasily as she assessed the situation. "O-Okaa-sama, I can do it..!" She stood up, holding onto her doll. Her eyes held sadness but she forced a smile anyway.
 
Akihime looked back at her and smiled softly, "It's quite all right, dear one~ I want Nobuyuki-sama to do it~" She said. She turned back to Nobuyuki, who managed to free himself enough to clock Akihime in the jaw, sending her to the floor. He huffed and shook his hand to ease some of the pain. Akihime laid on the ground in a daze, groaning softly.
 
Minehime's eyes went wide as she watched Akihime be knocked to the floor. "Okaa-sama!" She knelt beside her, tears forming in her eyes. "Okaa-sama, daijoubu?"
 
"Get away from her, young one." Nobuyuki ordered. Akihime groaned and tried to force her eyes open, her head spinning from smacking her head against the floor.
 
More tears stung at the little girls eyes and she balled up her fist and spun to face Nobuyuki, swinging her arm in a wide arch as she did so. Nobuyuki could feel the cold steel of a blade cut deep into his throat, but there was no weapon. Blood poured from the gaping wound in his neck, filling his throat and spilling to the ground.
 
Minehime turned back to Akihime, tears spilling down her cheeks. "He hurt you, Okaa-sama..!" She whimpered, wiping away her tears with the back of her fists.
 
Minehime sat next to Akihime, looking worried. "Okaa-sama... You're hurt, you need to go get medicine to get better."
 
Minehime nodded and stood up, hurrying over to the shelf and grabbing the bottle. Moving over to Akihime, she pulled the cork out of the bottle, holding out the tonic to her.
 
Akihime struggled to move to her side, wobbily propping herself upon her elbow and carefully drinking the tonic. She grimaced at the taste, never one for making them taste good, but swallowed it all down nonetheless. She moved and rested her head in Minehime's lap as she waited for the potion to take effect. "Arigatou, Minehime.."
 
Minehime cupped her hands over Akihime's head, resting her forehead against Akihime's. "You'love be ok now, right, Okaa-sama?"
 
((Shall we move ahead~?))

Minehime was quiet for the next couple of days that would come to pass, keeping mostly to herself, and barely playing with her toys. While Akihime and Amaya were out one day, she left the safety of Akihime'a room and wandered through the Takeda residence. Opening any doors she came across, most of them being empty, she stopped when she finally reached one that had an occupant. Stepping inside, she closed the door and moved over to the bed where a single man lay.
 
Takeda Shingen lay in his sick bed, quarantined from the rest of the estate. He had been ill for so long and no one could figure out the cause. The greastest healers in the entire country couldn't figure out what the sickness was, and all of Kai grieved that their Lord would never be his healthy and lively self again.
He was asleep when Minehime entered, his chest rising and falling almost painfully as he struggled to breathe.
 
Minehime moved over to the side of the bed watching Shingen with a small frown. "I did something bad." She whispered, looking down at the floor in shame. She knew he was asleep, but she needed to tell someone. "I did a lot of things that are bad."
 
He groaned weakly, as if in pain, barely stirring as she spoke. If she needed someone to just vent to, no one was more perfect than Shingen right now.
