The girl before him looked scared, glancing up through her hair at Sasuke. "I killed someone.." She whispered. "I didn't mean it, but he hurt Okaa-sama... and I cut Yuki's throat.."
His heart jumped into his throat. Yuki? He hadn't seen Yukimura at all today. Before he could get anymore information, he was shot into a wall by a blast of magic. Akihime stood at the door, body shaking with rage. Sasuke groaned and glared before vanishing. Akihime's angry gaze shot to Minehime, her fists clenched tightly.
Akihime stomped toward her and smacked her hard to the ground, kicking her and stomping on her like she was a bug. "You stupid, ungrateful little brat!! I told you to stay away from him!! Why didn't you kill him?! Can you do anything right?!"
Minehime grunted and cried out with every blow that landed, tears streaming down her face. "Okaa-sama! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She cried, trying to shield her head from Akihime's attacks.
She contined to beat and kick the small child before getting tired and stopping. She moved away and composed herself, shaking lightly. "Go to your bed. Stay there. If I see you anywhere else, I will punish you harder."
Minehime cried softly on the ground, slowly gathering herself up, and half-limping half-crawling to her bed. Laying on her side gingerly, she sobbed into her pillow, shaking with pain.
Akihime huffed and stormed out, slamming the door angrily. Sasuke appeared from the darkness and slowly moved toward her, taking out some healing ointment and applying it to the bruising.
The tears started to flow more freely from her face and she sobbed quietly. "I didn't mean to kill him.. honest..! But he drew his sword first..! And you're wrong, Okaa-sama loves me..!"
"She beat the crap out of you!" He snapped, "Is that love?!" He was frustrated with her, but forced himself to calm down, "No mother I know of would dare raise theor hand to theor child and say it was out of love.."
