To Maintain Peace and Order ¦1x1 with Jikkah¦

From within the house Kojurou could smell a great many spirits, as well as humans, mainly their blood.
 
Something wasn’t right about that house though, through the stench of human blood, he could smell fresh human blood, as well as a living human.
 
The further into the house he got, the more a familiar scent surfaced, one of the undead kyuuketsuki Jin.
 
He hurried after the scent and pushed open the door to the room it was heaviest. His eyes widened when he saw Jin feeding from the hermit Matsunaga Hisahide - an intimate act he thought she only shared with him - as Matsunaga pet Jin's hair affectionately. The hermit looked up at Kojurou and smirked. "I was wondering when you would arrive."
 
Jin slowly turned her head to look at who had just entered, but upon seeing a Youkai rather than a human, she simply returned to feeding from the shallow cut on Mastunaga’s shoulder.
Her eyes though, her eyes were completely red, a solid red; one of a mindless beast, broken and tamed. Her physical appearance had changed as well, her wings larger and sporting more spikes down the edges, her grayish pale skin had almost become translucent, and her fangs had increased in size.
 
Jin barely seemed to notice the conversation the two men were holding, only licking the wound gently, eyes half lidded. It was like she wasn’t even the woman Kojurou once knew any longer.
 
Kojurou grabbed her and pulled her away, grasping her arms tightly, "You've made her a slave!"
"Better than to allow her free reign over the world. She could kill people, you know." Matsunaga replied.
 
When Jin was torn away from her meal, her entire personality flipped. She plunged her hand into Kojurou’s stomach, her sharp nails easily penetrating his flesh, hissing at him like a feral animal.
 
He grunted and clenched his jaw, with only one arm this was difficult. "Jin-dono, listen to me...! This isn't who you are...! This is why you wanted to avoid feeding from humans, remember...!"
 
Jin snarled and twisted her fist inside Kojurou’s stomach, then yanked out her hand. She brought her bloody fist to her lips and licked the blood, only to hiss and spit it out onto the floor. “Disgusting.” She snarled, then slammed her fist into his jaw, hitting him with enough force to sending him flying.
 
He flew out of the room and laid on the floor for a while before sitting up and moving toward her. His infernal hand rose up from under her and grabbed her tightly, slamming her repeatedly into the ground.
 
Jin screamed like a wild beast, thrashing wildly. The infernal hand’s claws went clean through her left wing, cutting it in half easily. She screeched more and tore into the hand with her teeth, solid red eyes glowing with rage.
 
Kojurou winced and threw her away like a doll before storming out, "Keep her then, my lord has no need for something so untamed as her."
 
Jin hit the floor and slid to a stop, leaving a large smear of blood across the floor before slowly getting up. Tears slowly leaked down her face, but it held no expression, and after a moment she moved back to Hisehide.
 
Jin moved closer, embracing Matsunaga once again and continuing to feed from him, tears falling steadily from her eyes.
 
((Yeh!))

Masamune and Kojurou headed back to the destroyed temple along with a couple other shikigami Masamune had summoned; a Jorogumo and a Kubinashi. Masamune wasn't going to mess around today, he was going to bring Megohime home.
 
The temple was the same, all except for the smell, the stench of blood now overwhelming even for Masamune.
 
Megohime perked, smiling the best that she could. “I promise, this time, I will kill him..!” She said, standing and moving to the door. She slid it open and stepped outside, exposing to Masamune the extent of the damage Shiromasa had done to her.
Her hair had been cut with what looked like a dull knife, jagged and uneven, and cuts and bruises covered her swollen face. She sported a split lip, a black eye, a recently bloodied nose, and a large lump on her head and cheek.
