Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Soon Minehime had too many things to carry, having to purchase a tweed bag for all of her trinkets. "The bags almost full... Maybe we should head back?" She said, looking up at Hidemune, she had been enjoying herself so much, she had forgotten all about the letter.
 
Minehime nodded, picked up her large bag of loot, and headed back with Hidemune, still smiling and touching her new horn gently.
 
Minehime blushed more, but grinned at him happily. "Arigatou, Onii-chan!" She took his hand again, her heart fluttering in her chest.
 
They arrived back at the castle and headed back to their room. As Minehime was putting her things away, Hidemune was looking around for something.
 
Minehime was organizing her trinkets into her dresser, glancing over her shoulder at Hidemune occasionally to see what he was up to.
 
Minehime looked back to her things, feeling bad she had taken Hidemune's letter and destroyed it, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything, she simply continued to put her things away quietly.
 
Minehime felt guilt hot in the pit of her stomach, she shouldn't have touched his things, she should've even read the letter. "L-Letter?" She couldn't even look at him. "I haven't seen a letter." She felt her face flush hot as she lied to him, why did she do that? She never lied to him.
 
Minehime stopped what she was doing, shame overwhelming her. "He said he was going to take me away." She said quietly. "Is... is that why you brought me to the market today? As a way to say goodbye?"
 
"Take you away? What are you talking about?" He asked. He had no idea she was the shard in the letter. "Why would I let him take you away? He's looking for a piece of his sword, not a living weapon.."
 
Minehime turned to look at Hidemune with tears in her eyes. "But he is looking for me..! Akihime took a part from his living weapon and made me..!"
 
Minehime looked down, hot tears dripping from her face. "What if he does it anyway?" She muttered.
 
"He can't...Hideyoshi-sama won't let him.." He said, "It's removal of property from a high ranking person, it's almost like declaring war. Of course, I don't see you as property...Hideyoshi-sama just sees you as a weapon and nothing more.."
 
She nodded, rubbing away her tears and sniffling softly. "I don't want to leave you, Nii-chan... Promise me I don't have to leave you..!"
 
After a couple days, Masamune arrived at Osaka Castle. He was greeted warmly by Yoshitsugu before being shown to his room. Hidemune kept as far from his father as possible, nervous for the first time in years.
 
Minehime was too scared to even be in human form, so she remained a small dagger tucked into his belt the entire time, only transforming when they were back into Hidemune's room with the door closed and locked.
 
"I can feel him though... He's angry." She didn't sound convinced, remaining in her weapon form.
