Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Hidemune jumped up and looked to where the footsteps were coming from. "Hidemune-sama?" That voice. Out of the darkness stepped out a beautiful young woman with black cherry colored hair dressed in red and gold robes. "I am Akihime, and I answered the summons to purify your living weapon."
"Oh, thank the Gods." Hidemune looked so relieved.
 
A horrible screeching came from behind Hidemune, it was Minehime. She had scrambled to the very back of her cell and was hissing and spitting like a wild cat.
 
"M...Minehime?"
"Oh dear, it's worse than I thought.." Akihime frowned, slowly moving over, "What's wrong, little tooth~? Why are younso scared~?"
 
Little tooth. That name made Minehime spread her wings in fear and let out a hiss, charging a ball of lightening and firing it right at Akihime. Of course, it never reached her, but still. Again and again she tried to attack Akihime, slamming herself into the bars of the cell, spitting, and clawing like mad.
 
Minehime would continue this for quite some time, attacking the doors and walls like a rabid dog, clearly upset; the sight of this woman alone must have driven Minehime mad.
 
Akihime was getting increasingly annoyed before moving and having the cell unlocked. She entered and used her magic to keep Minehime against the far wall. "Are you quite finished?"
 
Minehime was panting and snarling, saliva dripping from her mouth, nearly frothing. She tried to lunge at Akihime once more, but couldn't move due to her magic, so instead she snarled more.
 
Akihime took a breath and started chanting softly under her breath. It was a verse from long ago, back around the time Megohime herself was forged. Apparently, the original Dragon had a contingency plan for everything, even a blade losing itself.
 
Minehime screeched even more as Akihime chanted, almost like her words were hurting her. She struggled hard but it was to no avail.
 
Minehime's screeching only got worse and worse, sounding like she was being tortured to death until finally she reverted into a dagger, flattering to the ground. The dagger was rusted and dull, the blade a sickly black color.
 
"Mini!" Hidemune rushed over and carefully picked her up, hands shaking, "M-Mini?"
"She won't be conscious for a while. But we aren't through purifying her. We have a long way to go." Akihime said.
 
The next time Minehime was conscious she was back in humanoid form, and this time less monstrous looking. Her mouth had returned to normal, and the scales that completely covered her body now had reduced greatly.
 
Minehime's thoughts were still a bit jumbled, and the memory of the past couple of days was hazy at best. "Onii-chan..?" She groaned.
 
Minehime stared at him for a moment longer before laying back down, not wanting to wake him just yet.
 
Minehime turned her head to look at Hidemune, having been awake the entire time. "Onii-chan..?"
 
Minehime let out a wheezy breath when he hugged her, the wind being squished from her lungs. "Daijoubu.." She said softly, a soft frown on her face. "Gomenasai.."
 
She shook her head, anxiety gnawing in her stomach. "No... I'm ok." She said, but for some reason that she couldn't place, she felt an awful fear.
