Requiem of Destruction (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

Amaya took her blade away as soon as Mitsunari lowered his blade, allowing Tachi to go free. Tachi was just barely able to get to his feet, needing to grab onto Mitsunari so he wouldn't fall. Droplets of blood hit the ground, though he had no visible wounds. "You don't need to be in her presence any longer... Lets go."
 
He was limping, and he couldn't bring his eyes up to look at Mitsunari. "I'll heal." He said quietly. His feathers were dirty and ruffled, but all of his physical wounds would vanish within the hour.
 
Mitsunari got him to their room and brought him to the bath to clean up, staying with him and sitting quietly.

Akihime moved to her special prison, not nearly satisfied with the amount of torment she could inflict. She moved to Minihime and smiled brightly. "Ohayo, Minehime~"
 
Tachi sat in the warm bath water, enjoying the warm water that soaked into his feathers. "I'll be fine, truly." He spoke without looking at Mitsunari. Gently washing the filth from his skin and feathers, he started to notice the bruises on his skin; those would vanish too.

Minehime flinched when Akihime moved closer, turning her head away from her and letting out a weak whimper. She was still chained up, and the too-small collar was still stuck on her neck.
 
"This isn't your fault." He said over his shoulder. He turned in his bath to face Mitsunari. "Don't blame yourself." He said sternly.

Minehime let out a soft sob when Akihime pet her hair, body shaking in fear. She had been toyed with so much, her body ached all over and she just wanted it to end.
 
Mitsunari glanced away, "She used my absence to disgrace you. If her pet weren't around, I'd have her head."

"Aw, don't cry, Minehime~ I brought you something~" She cooed and turned away before placing a hairclip in Minehime's hair. It was similar to one of the clips Hidemune had bought her years ago. "Oh look at you now~ so pretty~"
 
Tachi reached out and placed a damp hand against Mitsunari's cheek. "Stop. We'll get through this, we only have to wait for the right moment to strike." He said quietly. "Overthrowing her will be like pushing down a child once she loses her toys."

"Please stop..!" Minehime started to cry harder, and if her arms weren't numb from being hung from her wrists for so long, she'd lost feeling from her shoulders up to her fingers. "Please..!"
 
He leaned into his touch and made a small noise of agreement, "Of course..."

"What's the matter?" She asked with a frown, "Do you not like it?"
 
Minehime shook her head violently, trying to free the hairpin from her tangled hair. With a strangled grunt, she lashed out at Akihime, kicking her hard in the gut. "Leave me alone..!"
 
Akihime grunted in pain and coughed. She glared and took hold of Minehime's ankle. "That wasn't very nice." She hissed before she twisted her ankle and broke it.
 
Minehime screamed in agony and kicked at Akihime with her good foot. "Don't touch me..!" She screamed. "This is why everyone leaves you!"
 
"No!" She started to kick at Akihime again and again, an old wound had been opened. "Don't you ever say his name! Don't you ever talk about him!" A solid kick was landed on Akihime's chin, making her stumble back.
 
She hit the ground and laid there for a moment before she suddenly started laughing, "I bet he screamed and begged for his life like the little bastard child he was. What a coward. What an absolute shit stain of a man. And you let him die. You didn't do anything but watch. Fucking pathetic."
 
"Shut up! Shut up!" She thrashed hard and tried kicking at Akihime, but she was out of reach. "You don't know anything about him!" Tears fell down her cheeks as she cried, wishing she could beat Akihime's head in.
 
"Oh, I don't?" She asked, "So I don't know that he dishonored himself and shat all over his name just to run away with a girl? That he was stupid to put a blade before his own family?"
 
Minehime struggled so hard her wrists started to bleed. "SHUT UP!" She stopped struggling and hung there silently. "Sasuke told me about that woman... Amaya." Her voice was quiet and cold.
 
"How because of you she was shamed. Captured and cut into pieces like a roast ham." Her reptilian eyes stared at Akihime, a cold rage in them. "She died and it was all your fault."
 
Akihime remembered it vividly, it still gave her nightmares. Masamune cutting Amaya up slowly, all to get information about the missing shard of his blade. "No. It wasn't my fault." She hissed shakily, "It was yours. Because Date was looking for you. He cut her apart because he wanted you!" She shot up and snapped a solid ball of energy and magic at Minehime, tears streaming down her cheeks.
 
Minehime let out a sail of agony as the ball of magic slammed into her stomach, making her cough up a good amount of blood after it vanished. "N-No... your fault... I-It was your fault.." She wheezed out, trembling in pain. "A-All you had to do was... was say where I was... But you didn't, you let him cut her up..!"
 
"Shut up!!" Akihime screamed, throwing lightning, fire, ice, anything she could think of at Minehime, "You don't know anything!! It was your fault!! He wanted you!! He hurt her because of you!!"
 
Minehime's clothes caught fire with the fire and lightening, and even the ice seared her flesh. When Akihime was done, Minihime had nothing left to say, hair and clothes smoldering. Chunks of ice encased parts of her body, crackling as they slowly melted and froze her skin until it was blue. She must have lost consciousness, blood dripping from her lips.
