Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Bloody brambles broke through the floor and wrapped tightly around Masamune, covering his mouth with their thorns and cutting into his clothes. He didn't struggle, knowing it would only harm him further, but his body shook with pain.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime tripped and stumbled to her knees before Masamune, reaching out to pull the thorns away from him, only to stop before she touched them. Please, I beg of you, don t hurt him! She turned to Satan, begging him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"He's trying to destroy our marriage, I can't allow that." He said and waved his hand, the brambles tightening around Masamune. He cried out behind the vine in his mouth, trying not to writhe but it was agony.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	No!! She practically crawled to his feet, lowering herself to the floor. Please! She begged, nearly in hysterics. Please I ll give anything for you not to kill him!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Anything?" Satan asked and Masamune tried to call out, make her reconsider, but was helpless with the vine gagging him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime knew she would regret her words, but she nodded regardless. Anything, please, just don t kill him..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Even your body?" He asked curiously, stepping closer to her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime s vision blurred with tears as she nodded her head, whispering a yes.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune gave a muffled yell of protest and Satan pulled Megohime to her feet before pulling her close and kissing her gently."You have a deal "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime didn t kiss back, she only looked away once the kiss was done. At least for now Masamune was safe. He already had her soul, what was her body too? If saving Masamune meant he would claim both her body and soul when she died, what did it matter?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Let's show this boy how to really make love, hm ? How to truly make a woman beg for more "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	N No..! Megohime looked up at him with panicked eyes. Now..?! No please, God please not in front of him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Yes, now. That's what you said. If I let him live, you'd give me your body." He said, smiling softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime felt her face and neck grow red, not looking in Masamune s direction. H He doesn t have to watch... She said softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Oh, yes he does." He corrected, "Absolutely he does."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Please, please don t... She pleaded, trying to fight the issue, she already told Masamune she was betrothed, not having to sleep with another man in front of him? It was too much.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Then I guess he dies and his familiar becomes dinner." He stated lowly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime swallowed back a sob, averting her gaze and nodded. Ok, ok... I ll do it.. She agreed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His smile returned and he kissed her again, "Good girl " He purred and started with slow touches.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime kept her attention away from Masamune, not doing much in response to Satan s touches and kissing. She stood rigid, tears pouring down her face, doing everything she could to muffle her crying.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He was slow, gentle even. He took care to try and make her comfortable. With a note worthytry. After a while he began to force her to submit to him, his human guise fading to his true demonic form. He muttered spells and charms to her, ones that made her need him, crave him. Ones that made her sensitive to his workings. He took her roughly, bathing in her moans and her screams of bliss, finding Masamune's growing hatred all that more amusing. He forced Megohime to finish more times than she remembered counting, leaving her as a shaking puddle of a human.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime lay on the floor panting heavily, covered in his seed and sweat. She stared with a blank expression up at the ceiling, still under the many charms and spells he had cast on her, an unfocused look in her eyes. The one indication she was still in there was the tears that streamed down her face, humiliation and pain keeping them flowing.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Satan cleaned up and redressed, "Well, I deal is a deal. I'll see you soon, Megohime." He said and vanished. The brambles dropped Masamune and he wobbled over to her."Mego? You ok? Did he hurt you?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime slowly rolled onto her side, her back to Masamune. ..Don t look at me.. She whispered, curling up to hide herself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Mego...it wasn't your fault..." He said softly, "Come on, let's go get you cleaned up, huh?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I I can do it on my own... She said softly, voice raspy. I m ok... He s right... I belong to him, I m only here to help with your curse, then I should go.. She managed to stand up with a wobble, limping toward the door.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He grabbed her hand gently, "I wasn't joking about the fiance thing..." He said, "It isn't the best time, but...I made a ring for you with my own magic..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I can t..! He could hear in her voice that she was crying again, shoulders shaking. He was serious Masamune..! If he comes back a second time, he ll kill you..! What would I do then..!?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I can't just...let you go, Megohime..." He frowned, "I love you..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She only shook more as she fought her sobs. I don t. She whispered. She couldn t let Masamune be hurt again, let Satan come and steal away his life because she was selfish and wanted a normal one. I m sorry..! She pulled her hand away and limped away hurriedly, having to bite her hand to keep from crying audibly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He stood silent before the injuries from the brambles overtook him and he dropped to the floor in a heap.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime was nearly reclusive for the next few days, until finally, she was out and about, acting as if nothing had even happened, all except for her retreat on their intimate moments. She no longer flirted, didn t meet him at night, or even pull him away to steal a kiss or two she stuck her nose in her books and kept to her work.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune felt betrayed and heartbroken. He found Kojurou stuck in a bird cage and freed him but didn't speak to the familiar at all. He didn't even go near Megohime's part of the manor. He didn't even want to look at her, it hurt too much. He played with the ring he crafted before tossing it into the fire of his study, what was the point in keeping it?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It didn t take Megohime long after that, she finished her research, and made notes for Masamune on what he would need to do. He could break the curse placed on him in two ways ask for her forgiveness and be forgiven, or kill her. She left the notes in a book, which she passed off to Kojurou. Tell him thank you for giving me the oprotunity to research such a thing. She said softly as she handed him the book.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You know...Masamune sama would be devastated to have you leave...are you sure you don't wish to stay?" He asked.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She smiled sadly, and he could see the pain in her eyes. I can t... It s to both of our benefit that I leave. She bowed her head. Thank you, Kojurou.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He nodded, "Your home is rebuilt and if you ever want for anything, you may summon me. I will be glad to help."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded and bowed to him, before turning and leaving with her things, heading off back to her home and away from Masamune s.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Kojurou returned inside and Masamune stood in the foyer, "Is she gone...?""Hai. Forgive me, Masamune sama. She said it was for the best."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	There wasn t much to save from the orphanage, the entirety of the building had burned down, and even the stone fireplace was cracked and unusable from the intense heat.Yukimura had left Akihime and Daisuke on the third day after it had happened, heading further into the forest to be on his own.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She weakly protested that he stay but he refused her, telling her he was a monster and being near him put her in danger. She didn't care, she loved him dammit. But she was afraid. Why did his magic flare up like that? It hadn't done such a thing in years.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He didn t return from the forest he went into, finding a spot relatively deep within and setting up a makeshift home. He couldn t be near anyone, not if he didn t want them to die, because surely the same thing would happen again.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Leave him to die." Daisuke huffed, "We lost everything because of him." Akihime frowned and lowered her gaze."I can't just abandon him, Daisuke...he's been my friend since childhood. He has to know people still care."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Daisuke was right, Yukimura was better off dying off somewhere alone where his power couldn t hurt anyone else. But still, Yukimura looked so empty inside, what his uncontrolled powers had done had crushed him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She refused to leave Yukimura on his own. Not when he needed her the most. So late at night, after Daisuke fell asleep, she snuck out and used a childish spell to find Yukimura, a glowing string like a thread she had learned were she ever to get lost.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The string went deep into the forest, weaves around trees and over bushes, leading Akihime to the small camp Yukimura had made. It wasn t illuminated by a campfire however, not a single flame near the young wizard.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Yukimura...?" She called weakly. She was petrified, what if he attacked her? No, he wouldn't. He wasn't like that.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She heard the soft sound of fabric and then the rustling of leaves, but she didn t see him. Akihime... it s just you.. He sounded tired, broken. You shouldn t be here.. He said softly from the darkness.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I...I wanted to bring you home...we're rebuilding, a little...we could use the help..." She said, "I...miss you..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He didn t come out of the shadows. I can t. It ll happen again! I can t I can t have it happen again..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"We'll take extra precautions this time.." She said, "Please, it was an accident...I'm not pressing charges...! I would never...!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I don t care about the charges... I killed them all Akihime, I m a murderer... I deserve not a single shred of happiness..! She could hear his despair, almost hear his tears.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"But...we can fix this...everyone deserves happiness, Yukimura...!" She argued, "Please, come home..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Go! He snapped, voice trembling like he was forcing it to be angry. Go away from me!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She flinched and stumbled back a bit before trying again, "I I won't...! I want you to come home! You're dear to me, Yuki, please, I can't lose you too! My heart wouldn't take it!" She swallowed her tears and gripped her dress, "I love you..." She whimpered out.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She heard nothing, not even the sound of rustling leaves. Go away. Was the only response to her confession, nothing more. He didn t even show himself.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Make me." She whimpered, "I won't leave until you come with me."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Fucking leave me alone!! He snarled, and a small sputter of fire illuminated the night, but not an attack on Akihime Yukimura must ve been losing his temper at this point.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She screamed and ran away, tears pouring down her cheeks as she ran all the way back through the woods.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It had been months since Megohime had left, and he hadn t heard anything from her, not that he much expected to, but still, it hurt.Kojurou forced him to go outside of his estate every now and again though, which he begrudgingly agreed and went into the local city to peruse goods spend time out in the fresh air.The city buzz seemed to be more lively than it usually was when he went into town, perhaps a festival? Did you hear? They got a witch! Blood Witch they said! They ll be burning her today at noon!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune felt his heart jump into his throat and he looked to Kojurou with one wide terrified eye."Kojurou...""Hai...I heard. I hope it isn't Megohime dono as well..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	There was no way it was Megohime, Blood witches were hardly ever seen let alone caught, and Megohime was smarter than to let herself be captured. He still couldn t steady his pounding heart, and when the twelfth bell chimed, from the town square, a mixture of cheers and booing could be heard they had brought the witch to be executed on public display.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He and Kojurou moved to see who the poor soul was, both praying it wasn't who they thought it was.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It was hard to get a good spot to see, as the center was rather full of people, but Masamune and Kojurou managed to squeeze their way into the middle of the crowd, just close enough to see the person who was being tied to the stake on top of a wooden platform. It indeed was a woman, long black tangled hair covered in rotten fruit and vegetables as she was pelted with them, even a few rocks. She was silent, and didn t struggle, and kept her head down for the most part until a larger rock caught her in the forehead and jerked her head to the side.Masamune s heart nearly stopped right there.Megohime stared blankly at the crowd in front of her, slowly picking her head up as blood trickled down her bruised and battered face. Her eye was swollen, nose bleeding and lip split, but the worst was the cross that had been branded directly into her forehead. She looked tired, and both of her eyes were puffy from one could only assume tears, but she wasn t crying now.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Megohime!!" He shouted over the crowd and moved to push his way to her but Kojurou stopped him."If you help her, you will join her. Do not ask me to watch such a horror, Masamune sama." He said, looking heartbroken.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime could just barely hear her name be called over the shouting, turning to look. Her heart ached as much as her battered body, fresh tears pushing forward from her eyes. Why..? She croaked softly. Why are you here..? She looked absolutely heartbroken, sinking forward slightly against the rope, trying to fight the sobs that fought even harder to come out. The executioner reached the bottom of the platform, taking the lit torch from another hooded figure before turning and moving toward the large pile of kindling and wood beneath Megohime.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"No...no, don't! Kojurou!" Masamune looked to his familiar pleadingly and Kojurou could only look away."I will not expose you and have you lost as well. Please forgive me, this ultimate sin is mine alone to bear."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The cheering crowd around him punched a hole in Masamune s chest, the fire was lit and the crackle of wood told him it was starting to spread.The heat was intense almost immediately, Megohime turning her head away to try and shield her face from the heat, but it was slowly starting to envelope her. She couldn t be strong anymore, she broke down crying, shaking her head and apologizing to Masamune as her dress caught fire and her feet began to burn.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"No!! No!! Megohime!! I forgive you!! I forgive you!!" He yelled, wanting to push closer, "I love you, Megohime!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He couldn t tell if his words got to her or not, her screams of agony being drowned out by cheering. The smell in the air was horrible, burnt flesh and hair, and as the flames swallowed Megohime, Masamune could ve sworn he saw another figure in the fire grinning back at him, Megohime s screams no longer audible.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He covered his mouth to keep the vomit down before rushing passed Kojurou to find somewhere to empty his stomach. Kojurou frowned and placed his hand gently on his lord's shoulder."Ikuzo, Masamune sama...."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The sound of a roaring blaze could still be heard from the town square, the horrible burning smell still sticking with Masamune. She was gone, the woman he loved, gone forever.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His tears fell no matter how much he tried fighting them. He punched the ground hard over and over until Kojurou finally pulled him to his feet and guided him home.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It wasn t fair, Megohime didn t deserve to die, not in the way that she did. Masamune would be plagued with nightmares of her death for weeks, her screams echoing in his head even after he had woken.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	It got to the point where he refused to sleep, his servants and Kojurou all worried for him and his health."Masamune sama," Kojurou said gently, "Killing yourself won't make things better...""I can't..." Masamune paused, fighting the throbbing ache in his chest, "I can't sleep without reliving her death...eating only sickens me...I don't know what to do..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He should ve given her the ring, tried harder to get her to stay. If he hadn t let her walk out the door, she wouldn t have been killed.Distant thunder broke the conversation, which was odd, since the skies had been clear all day, and remained so up until dinner time. However, when the servants peeled out the windows, dark storm clouds were clearly there. Well, only over the entire estate and surrounding forest. Katakura sama..! One of the servants gasped.Thunder boomed again, lighting lighting up the night sky what sort of phenomenon was this? Was it magic? There was no way such a storm cloud snuck up on them, and in the time and placement that it was happening.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Kojurou moved to the window and glanced out to see if he could see what was causing the storm. If it was rival of Masamune's, they picked the best worst time to attack.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He couldn t seem to pinpoint where the possible enemy was, but every lightening strike seemed to hit inside the forest that surrounded them. What was going on?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	While Kojurou tried to determine the cause of the odd storm, Masamune returned to his room to see if he could manage some sleep.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The door shut behind Masamune with a soft click, the sound of thunder rolling in through the open window, which was causing the curtains to billow wildly from the bizarre storm just outside. The wind must have pushed the window open, plain and simple, only, he didn t feel alone.His ears picked up on the faintest of noise, the sod shift of fabric as someone moved, and a soft clack on the wooden floor in the far corner of the bedroom.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune looked over to where he heard the sound, too tired and depressed to really deal with an intruder. He just wanted to sleep, or die, which ever came first.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He found glowing red eyes staring back at him, thin pupils like a cats or a reptiles, but whatever it was didn t move to attack. Masa...mune... That voice, he would know that voice even if his hearing had been robbed from him. It was the one that haunted his dreams, plagued him daily, his beloveds voice.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	His eye widened and he took a step back. "No...you're dead...I watched you die!" He covered his face and shook his head, "I must've passed out on the stairs or something..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He heard fabric rustling once more, and onther few clacks on the floor as the creature moved forward. M Masamune..! It called again, this time the voice quivering with emotion. Why was this thing here, tormenting him with his lovers voice?Megohime s face came just into view, the faint moonlight that did come through the window illuminating her face. She wasn t horribly burned, in fact, her face didn t have a mark on it. The only difference was her eyes. Though they remained red, they had a more feral appearance to them. She wore a black cloak, hiding her body, and she stopped where she was. Her face was twisted with emotion, looking like she would cry at any moment, but surely the horrid beast that was wearing her face couldn t shed tears.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Shut up! How dare you steal her face! Her voice! What, your master thought he could get another laugh in?! Is that it?!" He snapped.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	N No..! You re wrong..! She looked sad, tears black as tar slipping down her face. Masamune... it s me..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Shut up!!" He shot a bolt of lightning at her, tears streaking his face, "She's dead! She's dead and it's my fault...I couldn't save her..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The beast took the lightening bolt with a grunt of pain, but only staggered. She lowered her head, face scrunching up as she began to cry. Where else am I supposed to go..? She asked him. She even cried just like Megohime. Why, why did it know how to cry like her?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Back to your master! I won't play his games, he already ruined my life!" He spat.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He s not! She argued, sinking to the floor. He isn t my master! She cried, shaking her head. Please, Masamune..! She begged. Believe me..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Prove it! Prove to me then!" His voice was shaking, "Prove to me you're really her..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She didn t know what else to do, she didn t even look human anymore.She produced something a small long object no longer than her arm setting it on the floor in front of her where the light fell on the floor. It was a bundle of cloth, and as inky black, clawed hands carefully unwrapped the cloth, he saw what was inside. A dried rose, a red one, still in relatively good condition. It s the only thing left I could find at my cabin... They burned it down.. It was the rose Masamune had given Megohime he never found it in her room after she had left, so he assumed she had thrown it away, but it was clear now she had taken it with her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He clamped his hand over his mouth to muffle his sobs, "How do I know you didn't just...dig it out of the trash?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Because it was all I had of you.. She whispered, touching the corner of the fabric tenderly. You threw the ring away, the rose was all I had.. I loved it so much..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You left me!" He shouted, "May as well have told me you didn't love me! What was I supposed to do with a ring made for someone who ran away from me?! Huh?! Hang on to it and hope that maybe you'd come back?! You made it quiteclearthat you wouldn't!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She let out a soft sob, shaking her head as more black liquid dripped from her eyes. He would ve killed you..! What was I supposed to do? Watch you die..?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I watchedyoudie!!" His voice would have given out if he shouted any louder, "How is that a fair trade, Megohime?!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She only sunk lower to the floor, now looking like she was groveling on the floor. I m sorry..! I m sorry..! I didn t want to die..! I wanted to live, more than anything..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He didn't know what to do. His body felt heavy and gross and he just wanted to lie down. He sat on his bed and covered his face. "You should have stayed...I should have begged you to stay..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She shook her head, wiping at her black tears with the same all black hands of hers. He knew... He was watching... Every lit candle, every fireplace, he knew everything from the fire..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Bloody brambles broke through the floor and wrapped tightly around Masamune, covering his mouth with their thorns and cutting into his clothes. He didn't struggle, knowing it would only harm him further, but his body shook with pain.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime tripped and stumbled to her knees before Masamune, reaching out to pull the thorns away from him, only to stop before she touched them. Please, I beg of you, don t hurt him! She turned to Satan, begging him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"He's trying to destroy our marriage, I can't allow that." He said and waved his hand, the brambles tightening around Masamune. He cried out behind the vine in his mouth, trying not to writhe but it was agony.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

No!! She practically crawled to his feet, lowering herself to the floor. Please! She begged, nearly in hysterics. Please I ll give anything for you not to kill him!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Anything?" Satan asked and Masamune tried to call out, make her reconsider, but was helpless with the vine gagging him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime knew she would regret her words, but she nodded regardless. Anything, please, just don t kill him..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Even your body?" He asked curiously, stepping closer to her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime s vision blurred with tears as she nodded her head, whispering a yes.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune gave a muffled yell of protest and Satan pulled Megohime to her feet before pulling her close and kissing her gently."You have a deal "

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime didn t kiss back, she only looked away once the kiss was done. At least for now Masamune was safe. He already had her soul, what was her body too? If saving Masamune meant he would claim both her body and soul when she died, what did it matter?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Let's show this boy how to really make love, hm ? How to truly make a woman beg for more "

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

N No..! Megohime looked up at him with panicked eyes. Now..?! No please, God please not in front of him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Yes, now. That's what you said. If I let him live, you'd give me your body." He said, smiling softly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime felt her face and neck grow red, not looking in Masamune s direction. H He doesn t have to watch... She said softly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Oh, yes he does." He corrected, "Absolutely he does."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Please, please don t... She pleaded, trying to fight the issue, she already told Masamune she was betrothed, not having to sleep with another man in front of him? It was too much.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Then I guess he dies and his familiar becomes dinner." He stated lowly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime swallowed back a sob, averting her gaze and nodded. Ok, ok... I ll do it.. She agreed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His smile returned and he kissed her again, "Good girl " He purred and started with slow touches.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime kept her attention away from Masamune, not doing much in response to Satan s touches and kissing. She stood rigid, tears pouring down her face, doing everything she could to muffle her crying.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He was slow, gentle even. He took care to try and make her comfortable. With a note worthytry. After a while he began to force her to submit to him, his human guise fading to his true demonic form. He muttered spells and charms to her, ones that made her need him, crave him. Ones that made her sensitive to his workings. He took her roughly, bathing in her moans and her screams of bliss, finding Masamune's growing hatred all that more amusing. He forced Megohime to finish more times than she remembered counting, leaving her as a shaking puddle of a human.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime lay on the floor panting heavily, covered in his seed and sweat. She stared with a blank expression up at the ceiling, still under the many charms and spells he had cast on her, an unfocused look in her eyes. The one indication she was still in there was the tears that streamed down her face, humiliation and pain keeping them flowing.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Satan cleaned up and redressed, "Well, I deal is a deal. I'll see you soon, Megohime." He said and vanished. The brambles dropped Masamune and he wobbled over to her."Mego? You ok? Did he hurt you?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime slowly rolled onto her side, her back to Masamune. ..Don t look at me.. She whispered, curling up to hide herself.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Mego...it wasn't your fault..." He said softly, "Come on, let's go get you cleaned up, huh?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I I can do it on my own... She said softly, voice raspy. I m ok... He s right... I belong to him, I m only here to help with your curse, then I should go.. She managed to stand up with a wobble, limping toward the door.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He grabbed her hand gently, "I wasn't joking about the fiance thing..." He said, "It isn't the best time, but...I made a ring for you with my own magic..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I can t..! He could hear in her voice that she was crying again, shoulders shaking. He was serious Masamune..! If he comes back a second time, he ll kill you..! What would I do then..!?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I can't just...let you go, Megohime..." He frowned, "I love you..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She only shook more as she fought her sobs. I don t. She whispered. She couldn t let Masamune be hurt again, let Satan come and steal away his life because she was selfish and wanted a normal one. I m sorry..! She pulled her hand away and limped away hurriedly, having to bite her hand to keep from crying audibly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He stood silent before the injuries from the brambles overtook him and he dropped to the floor in a heap.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime was nearly reclusive for the next few days, until finally, she was out and about, acting as if nothing had even happened, all except for her retreat on their intimate moments. She no longer flirted, didn t meet him at night, or even pull him away to steal a kiss or two she stuck her nose in her books and kept to her work.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune felt betrayed and heartbroken. He found Kojurou stuck in a bird cage and freed him but didn't speak to the familiar at all. He didn't even go near Megohime's part of the manor. He didn't even want to look at her, it hurt too much. He played with the ring he crafted before tossing it into the fire of his study, what was the point in keeping it?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It didn t take Megohime long after that, she finished her research, and made notes for Masamune on what he would need to do. He could break the curse placed on him in two ways ask for her forgiveness and be forgiven, or kill her. She left the notes in a book, which she passed off to Kojurou. Tell him thank you for giving me the oprotunity to research such a thing. She said softly as she handed him the book.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You know...Masamune sama would be devastated to have you leave...are you sure you don't wish to stay?" He asked.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She smiled sadly, and he could see the pain in her eyes. I can t... It s to both of our benefit that I leave. She bowed her head. Thank you, Kojurou.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He nodded, "Your home is rebuilt and if you ever want for anything, you may summon me. I will be glad to help."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded and bowed to him, before turning and leaving with her things, heading off back to her home and away from Masamune s.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Kojurou returned inside and Masamune stood in the foyer, "Is she gone...?""Hai. Forgive me, Masamune sama. She said it was for the best."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

There wasn t much to save from the orphanage, the entirety of the building had burned down, and even the stone fireplace was cracked and unusable from the intense heat.Yukimura had left Akihime and Daisuke on the third day after it had happened, heading further into the forest to be on his own.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She weakly protested that he stay but he refused her, telling her he was a monster and being near him put her in danger. She didn't care, she loved him dammit. But she was afraid. Why did his magic flare up like that? It hadn't done such a thing in years.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He didn t return from the forest he went into, finding a spot relatively deep within and setting up a makeshift home. He couldn t be near anyone, not if he didn t want them to die, because surely the same thing would happen again.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Leave him to die." Daisuke huffed, "We lost everything because of him." Akihime frowned and lowered her gaze."I can't just abandon him, Daisuke...he's been my friend since childhood. He has to know people still care."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Daisuke was right, Yukimura was better off dying off somewhere alone where his power couldn t hurt anyone else. But still, Yukimura looked so empty inside, what his uncontrolled powers had done had crushed him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She refused to leave Yukimura on his own. Not when he needed her the most. So late at night, after Daisuke fell asleep, she snuck out and used a childish spell to find Yukimura, a glowing string like a thread she had learned were she ever to get lost.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The string went deep into the forest, weaves around trees and over bushes, leading Akihime to the small camp Yukimura had made. It wasn t illuminated by a campfire however, not a single flame near the young wizard.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Yukimura...?" She called weakly. She was petrified, what if he attacked her? No, he wouldn't. He wasn't like that.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She heard the soft sound of fabric and then the rustling of leaves, but she didn t see him. Akihime... it s just you.. He sounded tired, broken. You shouldn t be here.. He said softly from the darkness.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I...I wanted to bring you home...we're rebuilding, a little...we could use the help..." She said, "I...miss you..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He didn t come out of the shadows. I can t. It ll happen again! I can t I can t have it happen again..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"We'll take extra precautions this time.." She said, "Please, it was an accident...I'm not pressing charges...! I would never...!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I don t care about the charges... I killed them all Akihime, I m a murderer... I deserve not a single shred of happiness..! She could hear his despair, almost hear his tears.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"But...we can fix this...everyone deserves happiness, Yukimura...!" She argued, "Please, come home..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Go! He snapped, voice trembling like he was forcing it to be angry. Go away from me!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She flinched and stumbled back a bit before trying again, "I I won't...! I want you to come home! You're dear to me, Yuki, please, I can't lose you too! My heart wouldn't take it!" She swallowed her tears and gripped her dress, "I love you..." She whimpered out.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She heard nothing, not even the sound of rustling leaves. Go away. Was the only response to her confession, nothing more. He didn t even show himself.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Make me." She whimpered, "I won't leave until you come with me."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Fucking leave me alone!! He snarled, and a small sputter of fire illuminated the night, but not an attack on Akihime Yukimura must ve been losing his temper at this point.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She screamed and ran away, tears pouring down her cheeks as she ran all the way back through the woods.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It had been months since Megohime had left, and he hadn t heard anything from her, not that he much expected to, but still, it hurt.Kojurou forced him to go outside of his estate every now and again though, which he begrudgingly agreed and went into the local city to peruse goods spend time out in the fresh air.The city buzz seemed to be more lively than it usually was when he went into town, perhaps a festival? Did you hear? They got a witch! Blood Witch they said! They ll be burning her today at noon!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune felt his heart jump into his throat and he looked to Kojurou with one wide terrified eye."Kojurou...""Hai...I heard. I hope it isn't Megohime dono as well..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

There was no way it was Megohime, Blood witches were hardly ever seen let alone caught, and Megohime was smarter than to let herself be captured. He still couldn t steady his pounding heart, and when the twelfth bell chimed, from the town square, a mixture of cheers and booing could be heard they had brought the witch to be executed on public display.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He and Kojurou moved to see who the poor soul was, both praying it wasn't who they thought it was.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It was hard to get a good spot to see, as the center was rather full of people, but Masamune and Kojurou managed to squeeze their way into the middle of the crowd, just close enough to see the person who was being tied to the stake on top of a wooden platform. It indeed was a woman, long black tangled hair covered in rotten fruit and vegetables as she was pelted with them, even a few rocks. She was silent, and didn t struggle, and kept her head down for the most part until a larger rock caught her in the forehead and jerked her head to the side.Masamune s heart nearly stopped right there.Megohime stared blankly at the crowd in front of her, slowly picking her head up as blood trickled down her bruised and battered face. Her eye was swollen, nose bleeding and lip split, but the worst was the cross that had been branded directly into her forehead. She looked tired, and both of her eyes were puffy from one could only assume tears, but she wasn t crying now.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Megohime!!" He shouted over the crowd and moved to push his way to her but Kojurou stopped him."If you help her, you will join her. Do not ask me to watch such a horror, Masamune sama." He said, looking heartbroken.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime could just barely hear her name be called over the shouting, turning to look. Her heart ached as much as her battered body, fresh tears pushing forward from her eyes. Why..? She croaked softly. Why are you here..? She looked absolutely heartbroken, sinking forward slightly against the rope, trying to fight the sobs that fought even harder to come out. The executioner reached the bottom of the platform, taking the lit torch from another hooded figure before turning and moving toward the large pile of kindling and wood beneath Megohime.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"No...no, don't! Kojurou!" Masamune looked to his familiar pleadingly and Kojurou could only look away."I will not expose you and have you lost as well. Please forgive me, this ultimate sin is mine alone to bear."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The cheering crowd around him punched a hole in Masamune s chest, the fire was lit and the crackle of wood told him it was starting to spread.The heat was intense almost immediately, Megohime turning her head away to try and shield her face from the heat, but it was slowly starting to envelope her. She couldn t be strong anymore, she broke down crying, shaking her head and apologizing to Masamune as her dress caught fire and her feet began to burn.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"No!! No!! Megohime!! I forgive you!! I forgive you!!" He yelled, wanting to push closer, "I love you, Megohime!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He couldn t tell if his words got to her or not, her screams of agony being drowned out by cheering. The smell in the air was horrible, burnt flesh and hair, and as the flames swallowed Megohime, Masamune could ve sworn he saw another figure in the fire grinning back at him, Megohime s screams no longer audible.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He covered his mouth to keep the vomit down before rushing passed Kojurou to find somewhere to empty his stomach. Kojurou frowned and placed his hand gently on his lord's shoulder."Ikuzo, Masamune sama...."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The sound of a roaring blaze could still be heard from the town square, the horrible burning smell still sticking with Masamune. She was gone, the woman he loved, gone forever.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His tears fell no matter how much he tried fighting them. He punched the ground hard over and over until Kojurou finally pulled him to his feet and guided him home.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It wasn t fair, Megohime didn t deserve to die, not in the way that she did. Masamune would be plagued with nightmares of her death for weeks, her screams echoing in his head even after he had woken.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

It got to the point where he refused to sleep, his servants and Kojurou all worried for him and his health."Masamune sama," Kojurou said gently, "Killing yourself won't make things better...""I can't..." Masamune paused, fighting the throbbing ache in his chest, "I can't sleep without reliving her death...eating only sickens me...I don't know what to do..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He should ve given her the ring, tried harder to get her to stay. If he hadn t let her walk out the door, she wouldn t have been killed.Distant thunder broke the conversation, which was odd, since the skies had been clear all day, and remained so up until dinner time. However, when the servants peeled out the windows, dark storm clouds were clearly there. Well, only over the entire estate and surrounding forest. Katakura sama..! One of the servants gasped.Thunder boomed again, lighting lighting up the night sky what sort of phenomenon was this? Was it magic? There was no way such a storm cloud snuck up on them, and in the time and placement that it was happening.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Kojurou moved to the window and glanced out to see if he could see what was causing the storm. If it was rival of Masamune's, they picked the best worst time to attack.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He couldn t seem to pinpoint where the possible enemy was, but every lightening strike seemed to hit inside the forest that surrounded them. What was going on?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

While Kojurou tried to determine the cause of the odd storm, Masamune returned to his room to see if he could manage some sleep.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The door shut behind Masamune with a soft click, the sound of thunder rolling in through the open window, which was causing the curtains to billow wildly from the bizarre storm just outside. The wind must have pushed the window open, plain and simple, only, he didn t feel alone.His ears picked up on the faintest of noise, the sod shift of fabric as someone moved, and a soft clack on the wooden floor in the far corner of the bedroom.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune looked over to where he heard the sound, too tired and depressed to really deal with an intruder. He just wanted to sleep, or die, which ever came first.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He found glowing red eyes staring back at him, thin pupils like a cats or a reptiles, but whatever it was didn t move to attack. Masa...mune... That voice, he would know that voice even if his hearing had been robbed from him. It was the one that haunted his dreams, plagued him daily, his beloveds voice.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

His eye widened and he took a step back. "No...you're dead...I watched you die!" He covered his face and shook his head, "I must've passed out on the stairs or something..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He heard fabric rustling once more, and onther few clacks on the floor as the creature moved forward. M Masamune..! It called again, this time the voice quivering with emotion. Why was this thing here, tormenting him with his lovers voice?Megohime s face came just into view, the faint moonlight that did come through the window illuminating her face. She wasn t horribly burned, in fact, her face didn t have a mark on it. The only difference was her eyes. Though they remained red, they had a more feral appearance to them. She wore a black cloak, hiding her body, and she stopped where she was. Her face was twisted with emotion, looking like she would cry at any moment, but surely the horrid beast that was wearing her face couldn t shed tears.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Shut up! How dare you steal her face! Her voice! What, your master thought he could get another laugh in?! Is that it?!" He snapped.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

N No..! You re wrong..! She looked sad, tears black as tar slipping down her face. Masamune... it s me..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Shut up!!" He shot a bolt of lightning at her, tears streaking his face, "She's dead! She's dead and it's my fault...I couldn't save her..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The beast took the lightening bolt with a grunt of pain, but only staggered. She lowered her head, face scrunching up as she began to cry. Where else am I supposed to go..? She asked him. She even cried just like Megohime. Why, why did it know how to cry like her?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Back to your master! I won't play his games, he already ruined my life!" He spat.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He s not! She argued, sinking to the floor. He isn t my master! She cried, shaking her head. Please, Masamune..! She begged. Believe me..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Prove it! Prove to me then!" His voice was shaking, "Prove to me you're really her..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She didn t know what else to do, she didn t even look human anymore.She produced something a small long object no longer than her arm setting it on the floor in front of her where the light fell on the floor. It was a bundle of cloth, and as inky black, clawed hands carefully unwrapped the cloth, he saw what was inside. A dried rose, a red one, still in relatively good condition. It s the only thing left I could find at my cabin... They burned it down.. It was the rose Masamune had given Megohime he never found it in her room after she had left, so he assumed she had thrown it away, but it was clear now she had taken it with her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He clamped his hand over his mouth to muffle his sobs, "How do I know you didn't just...dig it out of the trash?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Because it was all I had of you.. She whispered, touching the corner of the fabric tenderly. You threw the ring away, the rose was all I had.. I loved it so much..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You left me!" He shouted, "May as well have told me you didn't love me! What was I supposed to do with a ring made for someone who ran away from me?! Huh?! Hang on to it and hope that maybe you'd come back?! You made it quiteclearthat you wouldn't!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She let out a soft sob, shaking her head as more black liquid dripped from her eyes. He would ve killed you..! What was I supposed to do? Watch you die..?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I watchedyoudie!!" His voice would have given out if he shouted any louder, "How is that a fair trade, Megohime?!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She only sunk lower to the floor, now looking like she was groveling on the floor. I m sorry..! I m sorry..! I didn t want to die..! I wanted to live, more than anything..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He didn't know what to do. His body felt heavy and gross and he just wanted to lie down. He sat on his bed and covered his face. "You should have stayed...I should have begged you to stay..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She shook her head, wiping at her black tears with the same all black hands of hers. He knew... He was watching... Every lit candle, every fireplace, he knew everything from the fire..
