Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune loosened his grip a bit, not wanting to kill her. He looked to Kojurou and passed her over, the familiar carrying her rather easily.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime groaned as she was handed off to the familiar, her vision blurry and black spots coming in and out of her sight. Let me go.. She demanded weakly, her arm feeling like it was searing and numb all at the same time, blood slowly seeping through her clothes and into Kojurou s. The last thing she remembered before everything went black was the night sky, and the full moon.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When she woke up again, she was in a rather nice looking room, on a bed that clearly wasn't hers. Her wounds were wrapped and her clothes were changed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime lay where she was for a moment before sitting up quickly, only to stop and wince, holding her shoulder tenderly for a moment before looking around. Where was she? She had never been here before, and the only sounds were the birds outside the window to her left. Slowly she got out of bed, moving to the window to peer outside, wondering how far from her home she was.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Home seemed so far away from her view. She didn't recognize this area at all. Where was she? Where did that dragon and his familiar take her?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She stared a moment longer before looking down just how big of a structure was this? It had to be at least three times taller than her own home, was it one of those multi level homes she had seen before that the rich owned? No matter, she turned and moved toward the door as quickly and as quietly as she could, reaching for the door handle. Her thoughts were racing first off, those men had changed her clothes while she was unconscious, so there was no doubt they were some sort of sick perverts, and second, they destroyed her home and kidnapped her, and all for what? What help did they need from a witch anyway? And there was just no way that man was truly a dragon, he must ve been some sort of wizard or warlock, or perhaps he simply had a summoning scroll.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When the door opened, Kojurou was standing there ready to enter. Probably to check on her, "Oh, you're awake."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime instantly slammed the door shut, turning to press her back against the door, face bright red and blood pounding in her ears. The window. She moved to the window quickly and pushed it open, a cool breeze entering the room as she stared down at the ground far below her. Shit.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Thr door opened and Kojurou entered calmly, "I see your strength has returned as well.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Stay away from me! Megohime snapped at him, one leg already out the window, hands clutching the windowsill so tightly her knuckles were white.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He watched her with a stone face, "You won't survive the landing, you know."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime was starting to panic again, she would either have to submit to the horrors these two men had for her, or jump to her death. Shut up! I know that! She swung her other leg out the window, standing with sobbing legs on the small ledge outside the window, her breathing coming out in shaky breaths.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We don't wish you harm. If we did, we would have let you bleed out." He told her, "Come back inside, please."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She ignored him, inching a bit along the ledge before freezing again, gripping the windowsill again and leaning back against the wall, closing her eyes out of fear. Her legs trembled so hard she feared she d slip and fall, yet her instincts screamed to go back inside.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Get in here." Masamune's voice growled as a hand grabbed her arm and dragged her back through the window."I had it under control." Kojurou said calmly."Like hell." Masamune hissed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime came tumbling in through the window, sucking in a breath through her teeth as she landed hard on the floor. She blinked away her tears and turned sharply to Masamune. That hurt!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Better than ending up as a blood stain on the forest floor!" Masamune snapped, "Are you fucking insane!?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Are you!? She wobbled up onto her feet, glaring at him as she cradled her arm. You took me from my home after you destroyed it and then you undress me!? Her face was flushed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We did not undress you." Kojurou assured, "We have medicine women. They took care of your wounds and gave you new clothing to wear."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime grew even more embarrassed she had just accused them of being deviant with her, when in fact they had not but that was besides the point, they still kidnapped her and destroyed her home. I suppose you ll blame the medicine women for destroying my home and kidnapping me too? She snapped. Whatever you want, I m not going to help you with it, so find someone else and leave me alone!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We have already funded the rebuilding of your home, as previously stated. The abduction, however, we gave fair warning." Kojurou replied."You can go home when you remove my curse." Masamune hissed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime paused again, shoulders sinking a bit. He was lying, all humans lied. He was no different. And I m supposed to believe you? You d no sooner burn me at the stake. She spat. I m not doing shit.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"A wizard selling out a witch is bad for my health." Masamune told her flatly, "They's find me out, too."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	More lies, and even if they weren t, it didn t matter. People were paid handsomely for finding out witches, and often time, questions weren t even asked. Get out. She turned her head away, clenching her jaw. I won t help you.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Get out?" Masamune scoffed, "I own this room, it's in my house."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime wanted nothing more than to shove him out the open window and be done with him, but surely this man was insane. She said nothing more to him, holding her hurt arm against herself and glaring at the floor.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Let's go, Masamune sama." Kojurou said and guided his lord out before turning and waving his hand. The window snapped shut and a circled rune flashed over the glass before fading. Kojurou gave a small bow of his head before leaving quietly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime spent the rest of the day sitting in the corner beneath the window, leaned against the wall listening to the noises of the forest outside the birds, the gentle wind, and the rustling of leaves, if she closed her eyes she could almost pretend she was home. It brought tears to her eyes. Mother was right, I shouldn t have left her, I shouldn t have left home.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	null
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	null
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune sifted through his alchemy lab, grumbling irately as he tried to find a way to get the woman to cooperate with him. He wasn't unreasonable, he was a nice guy."You did abduct her from her home." Kojurou said from his spot in the corner of the room, as if reading his master's thoughts. He could but he liked annoying Masamune with it. Masamune glared."I warned her.""Women don't generally enjoy being taken from their homes, Masamune sama."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	To be fair he had warned her, but on the other hand, he hadn t exactly started out exactly great either no please or thank you at all.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"What if you asked her for her name? Giver her yours? Show you're hospitable?" Kojurou suggested. Masamune stopped before hanging his head."I suppose I have been rather rude, haven't I?""This curse has done a lot to change you." Kojurou agreed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He remembered the fear in her eyes, the way she fought so hard, struggled even as he crushed the very air from her lungs of course she was terrified, and she had every reason to be.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He sighed and moved to head out, "She's probably hungry..." He muttered, "Maybe I should make her some food.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime was in fact hungry, but she was far too anxious to notice such a thing. She sat with her knees to her chest, hurt arm cradled in her lap and her good arm resting on her knees, head resting on top of her arm.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	There was a knock on the door, "Hey," It was Masamune, "You hungry?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune only got the response he was about expecting. Go away. Came from behind the door, muffled slightly and clearly still upset.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Nah. I got you food. My name's Masamune, by the way.." He offered.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She picked her head up if only slightly, confused by his sudden change of approach. Why was he trying to be nice all of a sudden? Did he need some kind of proof she was an actual witch? He should ve gotten that from when she tried to fight him in the woods she just didn t know. Megohime.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He pushed the door open and presented the platter of food first, "I wanted to apologise for being...well...a bit of a cock. A huge cock, correction."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime peered at him from over the bed that sat between them, still not entirely trusting of him. Her cheeks were dusted a bit pink from his innapropriate language, finding it a little embarrassing coming from a man. You destroyed my home. She pointed out flatly, almost like she was chastising him for it.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I am having it repaired.." He replied, "I was not in my right mind.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Obviously. Who in their right mind summons a dragon? Not even black witches can tame them. The last part was muttered more to herself than anything, but still, he truly was a fool if he thought he was in control of that beast.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Summoned?" Masamune looked confused, "You must have the wrong idea, lady.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Lady? She sounded a little offended. We re nearly the same age. And what do I have confused? Am I wrong that what you summoned was a dragon? She sneered. Did he take her for an idiot?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"That dragon wasn't summoned. That dragon wasme." He stated firmly, "That's my curse."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Hewas the dragon? Was that even possible? She had only heard tales of such a feat among black witches. Summoning something even a dragon was a simple task, but transforming a human was an entirely different feat, especially a complete transformation that was temporary, yet long term. You re lying, I ve never even heard of such a thing being done for over a hundred years. She said, narrowing her eyes, interest piqued.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He sighed heavily and reached to lift his eye patch. Beneath the fabric was a gouged socket that once held an eye, but instead it housed a glowing curse rune that pulsated with dark and evil magics.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime s eyes widened at the sight of the rune, chills running down her spine and goosebumps breaking out all over her body. Get out. She said suddenly. There s nothing I can do for something like that, so get out. Undoing another black witches curse? Had that even been done by another black witch? Either way, something like that was far out of her league.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"What." He dropped the eye patch with a scowl, "Excuse me? I told you to break my curse, so break it!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	No! I won t! Now get out! Megohime snapped back at him, turning her back to him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He fumed and moved over quickly, grabbing her and tugging her out from behind the bed, "Fix me!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Let go of me! Megohime shouted, trying to shove him away. I won t do anything for you!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He only got angrier and punched her hard in the side of her face before suddenly kissing her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She wasn t sure if her head was spinning from the punch or the kiss, but she knew why her face suddenly grew hot. She stiffened up, eyes windening before she did something rather unexpected. She yanked away and punched Masamune hard in the nose, tumbling back as she did so.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He hissed and held his nose, which repaired on its own almost instantly, "That's what you get, you rude bitch!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Her face was still entirely bright red, clearly flustered as she sputtered. Wh What the hell!? Why the hell did you k kiss me!?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I cursed you til you decide to cooperate." He said, seeming rather proud, "You can't go farther than 50 meters of me."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She clenched her fists, feeling like someone was gripping her heart, and before she could think of what she wanted to do next, her body acted on its own. She slammed her fist into his nose again, tears of anger in her eyes.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Fuck!" He stumbled back and grabbed his nose as it gushed blood it took a moment longer to heal this time. "What was that for?!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	What do you think!? Megohime held her throbbing hand, glaring death at him as she made her retreat backwards. Get out!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Fine! Don't forget to eat, I worked really hard on that!" He said and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Fuck your food! Megohime screamed after him, moving back to her corner, leaving the food where Masamune had set it on the desk. However, in the morning Megohime had eaten the food, and even fallen asleep in the bed, her wound still taking a lot out of her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When she awoke, there was a fresh platter of food and clean clothes on the desk for her. Whether it was from Masamune or Kojurou, she didn't know.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	This pattern would continue for a day or two, Megohime hiding in her corner of the room, watching Kojurou with untrusting eyes as he came in to take the empty plate before setting down a plate full of freshly prepared food three times a day. He also brought her new clothing and took the old, and more embarrassingly, changed her chamber pot.She wouldn t talk with him when he entered, but she never tried to attack him or break the window either not that it would.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Kojurou didn't mind, he understood her predicament she was in a strange house with strange men who demanded a colossal task from her. He gave her the time and space she needed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It would be three days before Megohime saw or heard anything from Masamune, coming in a knock on the door before he entered one morning.The day was overcast at the shorefront, the morning air chilled by the sea air as a lone figure walked down the beach, covered in a heavy cloak to keep the cold out. A woman from a nearby village carrying a fishing pole and a few gutted fish as she made her way up the beach back to her home.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She saw movement by the rocks along the shore, of course it could have been the seals that lived nearby. They made the beach their home to bask in the warm sun some days. But it didn't seem like a seal, it was much too fast.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She blinked and slowed her pace, turning her head to look over at the movement as she walked, not thinking much of it.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She saw what she could only imagine to be the tail of a seal flopping from behind one of the taller rocks before suddenly falling deathly still.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She slowed to a complete stop, watching for any sign of movement, and when she saw none, she made a soft noise of concern before heading cautiously toward the rocks.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When she carefully rounded the corner to check on the poor beast, she was met not with a seal but a man. A naked man. He was tall and tan and built like a brick wall with long wild untamed white hair and seal spots running down the length of his back. He looked back at her and she noticed his left eye was glassed over with a long scar running sown from his eyebrow to his cheekbone. He had the pelt of a brown seal at his feet.He stood frozen, eyes wide as he just stood and watched her, holding his breath.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The two of them stood frozen, staring wide eyed at one another, the woman s face slowly growing red before she was able to break out of her trance. Quickly turning her head away, she brought her gaze anywhere but the mans naked form, her heart pounding in her chest. G Gomenasai! I I hadn t seen anyone else on the beach! I I didn t release someone was out here! No wait, was this man human? He resembled a human, but he certainly had features to him the screamed not human .
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He continued to watch her before speaking, "You aren't...going to take my pelt?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Huh? She looked over at him, then quickly turned away once more, ears burning at the sight of his bare body once again. N No! She felt like she would pass out at any moment. So he wasn t human, was he a Selkie? U Um... Are you.. hungry..?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Starved, actually..." He answered, "The sea bears little bounty this season.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded, pausing for a moment before setting down the fish and the fishing pole. She took a moment to undo the clasp on her cloak, pulling it off and holding it out to the man. Y You must be cold... you can wear this if you want.. She offered, keeping her gaze away from him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He stared at it for a moment before taking it, "Thank you.." He muttered, "But won't you be cold?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She took a quick peek after a moment to make sure he was dressed before looking at him fully, cheeks still flushed. My house isn t too far away, I ll be ok for now, plus Her ears burned hot. I still have more clothes on than you even with the cloak. She said with a slight smile, still embarrassed, but her words came out kind.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He made a noise, "I suppose that is a fair statement..." He said, "Very well, lead on, maiden.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded and quickly picked up her things before turning and heading back up the beach with the large man in tow. She had so many questions for him, but at the same time, she remained silent, not wanting to be rude. The house that she led him to was small, and partially consumed by a small hill no, rather the house was built into the side of the hill. Inside a fire was already going, making inside pleasantly warm. It was much more spacious than it looked on the outside, and it was free of much clutter. I ll cook the fish now, please sit and warm yourself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He nodded and moved to the fire, sitting and using his pelt to keep himself covered in her presence. "M...Motochika desu...!" He spoke timidly
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana had been taking the fish off of the hooks they were on when he spoke, surprising her a bit. She turned to look at him, offering a gentle smile. Nana.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He blushed softly, "Nana..." He repeated, "How lovely..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Her expression dropped a bit, cheeks flushing as she looked back down at the fish in front of her. Th Thank you.. She said softly, skewering the fish before putting them over the fire to cook.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Did I offend you?" He asked, frowning, "Forgive me, I didn't mean to.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	No..! No, that s not it at all! I was just surprised is all! She said, moving to sit at the fire with him, warming her hands. I ve never been told that before..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"What? How rude. Your name is by far the most beautiful I've ever heard!" He said
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	If he continued on this path, Nana s face was going to cook just like the fish in front of her. I It s a pretty common name! She sputtered as she turned the fish over.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Not in the sea.." He replied, "Every maiden has something intricate and long to describe themselves...Nana is simple and beautiful and it suits you very well.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She stared at the crackling fire for a moment, then looked to Motochika. Can you tell me about it...? The sea I mean!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"It's beautiful...nothing can possibly compare to how entrancing the sea is. There's so much life and wonder...you could swim for miles and miles and always find something new.." He said wistfully.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It sounds amazing.. She agreed, checking on the fish to see if they were cooked through yet. Are there others? Like you I mean. Creatures that aren t human.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Oh yes, we live in whole communities together.." He replied, "We care for each other and protect the area from poachers..!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Isn t it dangerous to live together? How do you keep hunters away? She asked, picking up to sticks and handing one to Motochika, blowing on the freshly cooked fish.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Ah..." He hesitated, "We kill them..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana frowned softly, a bit conflicted. She knew that if they didn t do so, more hunters would come back and try to kill them all it must ve been hard. I m sorry people have driven you to such actions.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Thankfully we haven't seen very many as of late, but it is a rather stressful decision to make.." He said before eating his fish. He made a surprised noise, "I've never had cooked fish before! It's so much easier to eat!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	You ve never cooked your fish before? She looked at him in surprise. Do you not come on land often?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune loosened his grip a bit, not wanting to kill her. He looked to Kojurou and passed her over, the familiar carrying her rather easily.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime groaned as she was handed off to the familiar, her vision blurry and black spots coming in and out of her sight. Let me go.. She demanded weakly, her arm feeling like it was searing and numb all at the same time, blood slowly seeping through her clothes and into Kojurou s. The last thing she remembered before everything went black was the night sky, and the full moon.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When she woke up again, she was in a rather nice looking room, on a bed that clearly wasn't hers. Her wounds were wrapped and her clothes were changed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime lay where she was for a moment before sitting up quickly, only to stop and wince, holding her shoulder tenderly for a moment before looking around. Where was she? She had never been here before, and the only sounds were the birds outside the window to her left. Slowly she got out of bed, moving to the window to peer outside, wondering how far from her home she was.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Home seemed so far away from her view. She didn't recognize this area at all. Where was she? Where did that dragon and his familiar take her?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She stared a moment longer before looking down just how big of a structure was this? It had to be at least three times taller than her own home, was it one of those multi level homes she had seen before that the rich owned? No matter, she turned and moved toward the door as quickly and as quietly as she could, reaching for the door handle. Her thoughts were racing first off, those men had changed her clothes while she was unconscious, so there was no doubt they were some sort of sick perverts, and second, they destroyed her home and kidnapped her, and all for what? What help did they need from a witch anyway? And there was just no way that man was truly a dragon, he must ve been some sort of wizard or warlock, or perhaps he simply had a summoning scroll.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When the door opened, Kojurou was standing there ready to enter. Probably to check on her, "Oh, you're awake."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime instantly slammed the door shut, turning to press her back against the door, face bright red and blood pounding in her ears. The window. She moved to the window quickly and pushed it open, a cool breeze entering the room as she stared down at the ground far below her. Shit.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Thr door opened and Kojurou entered calmly, "I see your strength has returned as well.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Stay away from me! Megohime snapped at him, one leg already out the window, hands clutching the windowsill so tightly her knuckles were white.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He watched her with a stone face, "You won't survive the landing, you know."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime was starting to panic again, she would either have to submit to the horrors these two men had for her, or jump to her death. Shut up! I know that! She swung her other leg out the window, standing with sobbing legs on the small ledge outside the window, her breathing coming out in shaky breaths.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We don't wish you harm. If we did, we would have let you bleed out." He told her, "Come back inside, please."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She ignored him, inching a bit along the ledge before freezing again, gripping the windowsill again and leaning back against the wall, closing her eyes out of fear. Her legs trembled so hard she feared she d slip and fall, yet her instincts screamed to go back inside.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Get in here." Masamune's voice growled as a hand grabbed her arm and dragged her back through the window."I had it under control." Kojurou said calmly."Like hell." Masamune hissed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime came tumbling in through the window, sucking in a breath through her teeth as she landed hard on the floor. She blinked away her tears and turned sharply to Masamune. That hurt!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Better than ending up as a blood stain on the forest floor!" Masamune snapped, "Are you fucking insane!?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Are you!? She wobbled up onto her feet, glaring at him as she cradled her arm. You took me from my home after you destroyed it and then you undress me!? Her face was flushed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We did not undress you." Kojurou assured, "We have medicine women. They took care of your wounds and gave you new clothing to wear."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime grew even more embarrassed she had just accused them of being deviant with her, when in fact they had not but that was besides the point, they still kidnapped her and destroyed her home. I suppose you ll blame the medicine women for destroying my home and kidnapping me too? She snapped. Whatever you want, I m not going to help you with it, so find someone else and leave me alone!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We have already funded the rebuilding of your home, as previously stated. The abduction, however, we gave fair warning." Kojurou replied."You can go home when you remove my curse." Masamune hissed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime paused again, shoulders sinking a bit. He was lying, all humans lied. He was no different. And I m supposed to believe you? You d no sooner burn me at the stake. She spat. I m not doing shit.

"A wizard selling out a witch is bad for my health." Masamune told her flatly, "They's find me out, too."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

More lies, and even if they weren t, it didn t matter. People were paid handsomely for finding out witches, and often time, questions weren t even asked. Get out. She turned her head away, clenching her jaw. I won t help you.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Get out?" Masamune scoffed, "I own this room, it's in my house."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime wanted nothing more than to shove him out the open window and be done with him, but surely this man was insane. She said nothing more to him, holding her hurt arm against herself and glaring at the floor.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Let's go, Masamune sama." Kojurou said and guided his lord out before turning and waving his hand. The window snapped shut and a circled rune flashed over the glass before fading. Kojurou gave a small bow of his head before leaving quietly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime spent the rest of the day sitting in the corner beneath the window, leaned against the wall listening to the noises of the forest outside the birds, the gentle wind, and the rustling of leaves, if she closed her eyes she could almost pretend she was home. It brought tears to her eyes. Mother was right, I shouldn t have left her, I shouldn t have left home.

Masamune sifted through his alchemy lab, grumbling irately as he tried to find a way to get the woman to cooperate with him. He wasn't unreasonable, he was a nice guy."You did abduct her from her home." Kojurou said from his spot in the corner of the room, as if reading his master's thoughts. He could but he liked annoying Masamune with it. Masamune glared."I warned her.""Women don't generally enjoy being taken from their homes, Masamune sama."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

To be fair he had warned her, but on the other hand, he hadn t exactly started out exactly great either no please or thank you at all.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"What if you asked her for her name? Giver her yours? Show you're hospitable?" Kojurou suggested. Masamune stopped before hanging his head."I suppose I have been rather rude, haven't I?""This curse has done a lot to change you." Kojurou agreed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He remembered the fear in her eyes, the way she fought so hard, struggled even as he crushed the very air from her lungs of course she was terrified, and she had every reason to be.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He sighed and moved to head out, "She's probably hungry..." He muttered, "Maybe I should make her some food.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime was in fact hungry, but she was far too anxious to notice such a thing. She sat with her knees to her chest, hurt arm cradled in her lap and her good arm resting on her knees, head resting on top of her arm.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

There was a knock on the door, "Hey," It was Masamune, "You hungry?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune only got the response he was about expecting. Go away. Came from behind the door, muffled slightly and clearly still upset.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Nah. I got you food. My name's Masamune, by the way.." He offered.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She picked her head up if only slightly, confused by his sudden change of approach. Why was he trying to be nice all of a sudden? Did he need some kind of proof she was an actual witch? He should ve gotten that from when she tried to fight him in the woods she just didn t know. Megohime.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He pushed the door open and presented the platter of food first, "I wanted to apologise for being...well...a bit of a cock. A huge cock, correction."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime peered at him from over the bed that sat between them, still not entirely trusting of him. Her cheeks were dusted a bit pink from his innapropriate language, finding it a little embarrassing coming from a man. You destroyed my home. She pointed out flatly, almost like she was chastising him for it.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I am having it repaired.." He replied, "I was not in my right mind.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Obviously. Who in their right mind summons a dragon? Not even black witches can tame them. The last part was muttered more to herself than anything, but still, he truly was a fool if he thought he was in control of that beast.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Summoned?" Masamune looked confused, "You must have the wrong idea, lady.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Lady? She sounded a little offended. We re nearly the same age. And what do I have confused? Am I wrong that what you summoned was a dragon? She sneered. Did he take her for an idiot?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"That dragon wasn't summoned. That dragon wasme." He stated firmly, "That's my curse."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Hewas the dragon? Was that even possible? She had only heard tales of such a feat among black witches. Summoning something even a dragon was a simple task, but transforming a human was an entirely different feat, especially a complete transformation that was temporary, yet long term. You re lying, I ve never even heard of such a thing being done for over a hundred years. She said, narrowing her eyes, interest piqued.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He sighed heavily and reached to lift his eye patch. Beneath the fabric was a gouged socket that once held an eye, but instead it housed a glowing curse rune that pulsated with dark and evil magics.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime s eyes widened at the sight of the rune, chills running down her spine and goosebumps breaking out all over her body. Get out. She said suddenly. There s nothing I can do for something like that, so get out. Undoing another black witches curse? Had that even been done by another black witch? Either way, something like that was far out of her league.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"What." He dropped the eye patch with a scowl, "Excuse me? I told you to break my curse, so break it!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

No! I won t! Now get out! Megohime snapped back at him, turning her back to him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He fumed and moved over quickly, grabbing her and tugging her out from behind the bed, "Fix me!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Let go of me! Megohime shouted, trying to shove him away. I won t do anything for you!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He only got angrier and punched her hard in the side of her face before suddenly kissing her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She wasn t sure if her head was spinning from the punch or the kiss, but she knew why her face suddenly grew hot. She stiffened up, eyes windening before she did something rather unexpected. She yanked away and punched Masamune hard in the nose, tumbling back as she did so.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He hissed and held his nose, which repaired on its own almost instantly, "That's what you get, you rude bitch!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Her face was still entirely bright red, clearly flustered as she sputtered. Wh What the hell!? Why the hell did you k kiss me!?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I cursed you til you decide to cooperate." He said, seeming rather proud, "You can't go farther than 50 meters of me."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She clenched her fists, feeling like someone was gripping her heart, and before she could think of what she wanted to do next, her body acted on its own. She slammed her fist into his nose again, tears of anger in her eyes.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Fuck!" He stumbled back and grabbed his nose as it gushed blood it took a moment longer to heal this time. "What was that for?!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

What do you think!? Megohime held her throbbing hand, glaring death at him as she made her retreat backwards. Get out!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Fine! Don't forget to eat, I worked really hard on that!" He said and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Fuck your food! Megohime screamed after him, moving back to her corner, leaving the food where Masamune had set it on the desk. However, in the morning Megohime had eaten the food, and even fallen asleep in the bed, her wound still taking a lot out of her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When she awoke, there was a fresh platter of food and clean clothes on the desk for her. Whether it was from Masamune or Kojurou, she didn't know.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

This pattern would continue for a day or two, Megohime hiding in her corner of the room, watching Kojurou with untrusting eyes as he came in to take the empty plate before setting down a plate full of freshly prepared food three times a day. He also brought her new clothing and took the old, and more embarrassingly, changed her chamber pot.She wouldn t talk with him when he entered, but she never tried to attack him or break the window either not that it would.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Kojurou didn't mind, he understood her predicament she was in a strange house with strange men who demanded a colossal task from her. He gave her the time and space she needed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It would be three days before Megohime saw or heard anything from Masamune, coming in a knock on the door before he entered one morning.The day was overcast at the shorefront, the morning air chilled by the sea air as a lone figure walked down the beach, covered in a heavy cloak to keep the cold out. A woman from a nearby village carrying a fishing pole and a few gutted fish as she made her way up the beach back to her home.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She saw movement by the rocks along the shore, of course it could have been the seals that lived nearby. They made the beach their home to bask in the warm sun some days. But it didn't seem like a seal, it was much too fast.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She blinked and slowed her pace, turning her head to look over at the movement as she walked, not thinking much of it.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She saw what she could only imagine to be the tail of a seal flopping from behind one of the taller rocks before suddenly falling deathly still.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She slowed to a complete stop, watching for any sign of movement, and when she saw none, she made a soft noise of concern before heading cautiously toward the rocks.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When she carefully rounded the corner to check on the poor beast, she was met not with a seal but a man. A naked man. He was tall and tan and built like a brick wall with long wild untamed white hair and seal spots running down the length of his back. He looked back at her and she noticed his left eye was glassed over with a long scar running sown from his eyebrow to his cheekbone. He had the pelt of a brown seal at his feet.He stood frozen, eyes wide as he just stood and watched her, holding his breath.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The two of them stood frozen, staring wide eyed at one another, the woman s face slowly growing red before she was able to break out of her trance. Quickly turning her head away, she brought her gaze anywhere but the mans naked form, her heart pounding in her chest. G Gomenasai! I I hadn t seen anyone else on the beach! I I didn t release someone was out here! No wait, was this man human? He resembled a human, but he certainly had features to him the screamed not human .

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He continued to watch her before speaking, "You aren't...going to take my pelt?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Huh? She looked over at him, then quickly turned away once more, ears burning at the sight of his bare body once again. N No! She felt like she would pass out at any moment. So he wasn t human, was he a Selkie? U Um... Are you.. hungry..?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Starved, actually..." He answered, "The sea bears little bounty this season.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded, pausing for a moment before setting down the fish and the fishing pole. She took a moment to undo the clasp on her cloak, pulling it off and holding it out to the man. Y You must be cold... you can wear this if you want.. She offered, keeping her gaze away from him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He stared at it for a moment before taking it, "Thank you.." He muttered, "But won't you be cold?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She took a quick peek after a moment to make sure he was dressed before looking at him fully, cheeks still flushed. My house isn t too far away, I ll be ok for now, plus Her ears burned hot. I still have more clothes on than you even with the cloak. She said with a slight smile, still embarrassed, but her words came out kind.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He made a noise, "I suppose that is a fair statement..." He said, "Very well, lead on, maiden.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded and quickly picked up her things before turning and heading back up the beach with the large man in tow. She had so many questions for him, but at the same time, she remained silent, not wanting to be rude. The house that she led him to was small, and partially consumed by a small hill no, rather the house was built into the side of the hill. Inside a fire was already going, making inside pleasantly warm. It was much more spacious than it looked on the outside, and it was free of much clutter. I ll cook the fish now, please sit and warm yourself.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He nodded and moved to the fire, sitting and using his pelt to keep himself covered in her presence. "M...Motochika desu...!" He spoke timidly

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana had been taking the fish off of the hooks they were on when he spoke, surprising her a bit. She turned to look at him, offering a gentle smile. Nana.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He blushed softly, "Nana..." He repeated, "How lovely..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Her expression dropped a bit, cheeks flushing as she looked back down at the fish in front of her. Th Thank you.. She said softly, skewering the fish before putting them over the fire to cook.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Did I offend you?" He asked, frowning, "Forgive me, I didn't mean to.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

No..! No, that s not it at all! I was just surprised is all! She said, moving to sit at the fire with him, warming her hands. I ve never been told that before..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"What? How rude. Your name is by far the most beautiful I've ever heard!" He said

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

If he continued on this path, Nana s face was going to cook just like the fish in front of her. I It s a pretty common name! She sputtered as she turned the fish over.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Not in the sea.." He replied, "Every maiden has something intricate and long to describe themselves...Nana is simple and beautiful and it suits you very well.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She stared at the crackling fire for a moment, then looked to Motochika. Can you tell me about it...? The sea I mean!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"It's beautiful...nothing can possibly compare to how entrancing the sea is. There's so much life and wonder...you could swim for miles and miles and always find something new.." He said wistfully.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It sounds amazing.. She agreed, checking on the fish to see if they were cooked through yet. Are there others? Like you I mean. Creatures that aren t human.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Oh yes, we live in whole communities together.." He replied, "We care for each other and protect the area from poachers..!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Isn t it dangerous to live together? How do you keep hunters away? She asked, picking up to sticks and handing one to Motochika, blowing on the freshly cooked fish.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Ah..." He hesitated, "We kill them..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana frowned softly, a bit conflicted. She knew that if they didn t do so, more hunters would come back and try to kill them all it must ve been hard. I m sorry people have driven you to such actions.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Thankfully we haven't seen very many as of late, but it is a rather stressful decision to make.." He said before eating his fish. He made a surprised noise, "I've never had cooked fish before! It's so much easier to eat!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

You ve never cooked your fish before? She looked at him in surprise. Do you not come on land often?
