Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He shook his head, "You can't stay here then...can you...?" He asked weakly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime looked down at the rose again. He doesn t have to worry about me anymore.. She muttered. He s keeping his eye on his living wives, and the ones with him now are keeping him busy... She looked sad. Plus.. Who would want to even come near me when I look like I do now..? The clouds outside had begun to shift and break apart, allowing more light into the room, now fully revealing Megohime. Horns sprouted from her inky black hair, which pooled around her as she crouched on the ground she wasn t wearing black clothing, in fact, she wore nothing at all. Her skin itself was pitch black, and the soft clacking he had heard earlier, was from her. Her legs were no longer human legs, but goat ones, complete with shark black goat hooves and shaggy, glossy black fur. I m disgusting..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Not even a little bit..." He muttered, looking up at her, "Far from it, actually..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	How could you even think otherwise? Look at this horrible body I m in! She clawed at her furry legs, face twisting to a scowl.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Mego..." He said gently, "It doesn't matter what body you're in...I still love you..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	...I love you too.. She whispered. I love you, I love you so much..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He stood and moved over, bringing her into his arms and holding her tight, "I thought I lost you forever..."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She wrapped her arms around him, holding onto him tightly. I was so scared, I missed you..!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I missed you, too...so much..." He whispered, nuzzling into her hair.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She cried softly against his chest, nuzzling him and apologizing through her tears. It seemed like the two stayed in each other s arms for hours, eventually moving to the bed to be a bit more comfortable. Megohime has her head rested on Masamune s chest, arms still wrapped around him as he held her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	There was a knock on the door and Masamune glanced over."Yeah?""Is everything alright in here? I heard shouting a bit ago." Kojurou called.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime only turned her face away, hiding it from the familiar, her black body dark enough to be hardly seen in the unlit room.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"It's alright, Kojurou...just some flashbacks from Mego's passing...I'll be ok.." Masamune said."Of course. Let me know of you need anything." Kojurou called through the door and left.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime didn t mind that Masamune didn t tell Kojurou of her presence, preferred it in fact. Once she head Kojurou s fading footsteps dissapear completely, she looked back up at Masamune, squeezing him gently.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You ok?" He asked gently, "That big ol' bag of feathers didn't scare you, did he ?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	No... I m just worried about what he ll think of me.. She said softly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"He won't think any differently about you..." He said softly, "It's Kojurou.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She made a soft noise, looking back down at his chest. Ok.... Just, don t tell him about me just yet, ok..?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I won't...not til you're ready.." He replied.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She would stay with him well into the morning, but would remain hidden inside Masamune s room when he had to go start his daily routine.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When he came back, he had a stack of books with him, "Ok, so I did some reading and I think I found a way to free you from that bastard for at least a few decades." He said, setting the stack on the desk in his room.Akihime and Daisuke had to move, the towns people were getting restless with them there if Yukimura had burned the orphanage down, why didn't they die as well? Daisuke grew nervous they would put Akihime to the stake if they found out she had any magical abilities and thusly forced her to move, ignoring her protests to wait for Yukimura to come home.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime had drapped a blanket over herself and was sitting at the window seat watching the world outside. What? She turned to look at him, standing and moving over. Let me see. She was only wearing the blanket over her head and shoulders, as he found out she was easily able to change her form, making clothes a little tricky. However, due to her body being an almost light canceling black, the details of her naked body couldn t be seen easily.Even as Daisuke and Akihime travelled which Akihime did as slowly as she could in hopes of Yukimura turning up there was no sign of him. He must ve stayed in his spot in the mountains, but eventually even the townsfolk would find him, and they too might burn him at the stake.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Masamune grinned from ear to ear, "Make a contract with me. Like I have with Kojurou." He said, "Become my Familiar.""D Daisuke, please...if he comes back or if they find him, they'll !""He didn't care about us when he left, he doesn't care about us now. If he wants to die, let him die." Daisuke growled. Akihime hiccuped, fighting new tears.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime stared at Masamune, mouth open slightly and her eyes slowly widening. Wha.. But Masamune, I m ademon! She said, shock and disbelief on her face.Bubbles rose from the depths of the lake, then seconds later, a figure burst from beneath the water, gasping and panting. Yukimura let himself float in the water, staring up at the sky as black dots danced in his vision from holding his breath too long. His lungs ached and his limbs were heavy with cold, but he had still been working for hours. He didn t really know why he was doing it, but he felt starting anywhere was better than nowhere.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"So?" He asked, "It's only slightly frowned upon. And I couldn't care less about what people thought of me." He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She clutched the blanket close to her chest, a frown of worry spreading across her face. But what if they come after you? What if they try to hurt you..? She looked genuinely worried for him at least she wasn t completely a demon.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"They won't because once you become my familiar, you can more accurately change your form and hide like Kojurou does." He told her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime was still embarrassed about her inability to control her shape at times, changing form without meaning to and being unable to change back to the shape she wanted. She let her eyes drop to the floor and she nodded. I promise to protect you... I won t let anyone hurt you...
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I know you will, Mego." He smiled, moving and trying to hold her hands, "You'll be free...that's all I care about.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She let him take her hands, smiling softly and turning her face away to hide it. H How do we make the pact..? Is it different when a demons involved?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"A little? Since you're already here, I don't have to give up my blood to summon you." He grinned, "And I already know your name so the binding will be easy."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime fidgeted a little, and Masamune could ve sworn he saw a tail peek out momentarily from under the blanket. Ok, and what do I have to do..?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Well, I do need a couple, uh...Hell specific things from you...assuming you can go back. But..." He grabbed a book and flipped through, "I don't think they're wholly required at this point in time.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	I can get them! She said almost too quickly, looking eager, infact, the tail Masamune thought he had glimpsed was confirmed when he saw it practically wagging. What do I need to get? I ll get them!
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He smiled softly and laughed softly, "Ok, ok...I can see you're quite enthusiastic about this. Um, for the binding and contracting of a demon we will neeeeeed..." He flipped through some more before finding what he needed, "a demon heart, a charred bone from a damned soul and a black gem."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Megohime nodded. It might take some time to get those, but I can definitely get the materials. She said with a smile.The weather as of late had been terrible, heavy black clouds hanging in the sky over the city for days, a wind so cold it chilled you down to the bone, yet no rain ever came. With Akihime now out of work due to the orphanage being burned to the ground, Daisuke was only able to trade the wild herbs and vegetables he found in the mountains to trade in town for goods they would need.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Akihime made herbal remedies with a bit of her white magic for Daisuke to sell as well things for illness or better health and things. They didn't always sell, but when they did the money was good. With the weather being so bad, a lot of her health remedies were sold by the crate load. He was restocking all the bottles when he heard a woman scream, and upon looking there were hoards of the undead running through the town and killing all in their path. His breath halted in his throat and he hid in his stall, covering his ears.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Even with his ears covered, he could hear the stampeding of the cityfolk and the undead. Some shambled around like stiff corpses, and others ran and moved as though they still were alive. The noises only grew louder as the activity was slowly brought into the market where most of the people were already gathered were they going to find Daisuke? Could they smell him?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He shut his eyes tight, hoping,prayinghe wouldn't be found. It was like he was in a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from. God, he didn't get to say goodbye to Akihime.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He felt the small wooden stand he was hiding behind jolt hard and be pulled away from him slightly. His eyes met a giant of a corpse, blood and drool dripping from his open mouth as it stared down Daisuke, then it lunged for him with a growl. Before it could lay even a finger on him, something slammed the monster to the ground, a sword through its head.It was a girl, she stood up from a crouched position, pulling her short sword free of the monsters head with ease and looked around the area, probably for her next target. She only looked a few years younger than him, but she was dressed as a knight.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He stared in awe of her before he was pulled to his feet."Are you hurt?" He looked at a young man about the same height as him, with black hair pulled into a small ponytail and calm blue eyes. Daisuke shook his head slowly, this young man was also dressed similarly to the girl who saved him. "Good, please evacuate to a safe distance. We will handle this." Daisuke only nodded before rushing off out of town. The young man moved to the girl and made a noise."Do you see what summoned them? A necromancer, anything?" He asked her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The girl shook her head, sheathing her sword on her hip and looking to him. I cant track down the caster, the dead and the townsfolks scent is masking his, but he s here. She spoke, but her mouth never opened, never moved, only the young man heading her voice in his head.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He made a soft noise and looked around, "I'll do my best to find him, continue to return the dead to their rest."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She gave a nod and headed off down the cobblestone road, rounding a corner and disappearing quickly to dispatch more undead.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He sniffed around slowly, trying to locate any odd smells before calmly heading off toward the cemetery. It would be too obvious for a necromancer to be there but it was still worth a look. His form began to change into a large dog with fur black as pitch and he moved easily through the graveyard.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	With his sensitive hearing, he could hear his partner off in the city, still taking out undead, but she was hardly finding any trouble with them.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	That's good, at least. He never really had to worry about her too much. He kept sniffing around before finding what he wanted the necromancer wasn't too far from the graveyard, he could smell the magic and death over the stench of the graves.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Minihime had finally tracked down and killed all of the zombies, cleaning the blood from her blade before sheathing it once more, she headed to where most of the townsfolk had gathered, waiting there for Hidemune. None of the people smelled like they had any affliction from the dead, which was good, but they still kept their distance from her, and she from them.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Mini." Hidemune moved over to her, fixing his armor,"Everything good on your end?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She turned to face him and gave a nod. Everyone here is fine, no one afflicted. She communicated as she moved over to him, resting one hand on the pommel of her sword. Did you find the necromancer?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I did, and he's dealt with." He answered before petting her head gently, "Good work today.""Hey!" Hidemune looked up when Daisuke rushed toward them, eyes wide in awe, "Let me join your knight order!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She seemed to rather enjoy him petting her head, smiling a toothy grin, beaming at him before it vanished when she heard the human boy speak up behind them. Her smile dropped into a scowl, and she kept her back to the boy, only glancing at him over her shoulder.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Ah, well there's a lot of training involved." Hidemune said, smiling softly. Daisuke looked enthralled."That's fine! What you two did was...incredible!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Minehime turned her head away from Daisuke, a soft scowl on her face. He s an idiot.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Hidemune merely pet her head, smile never leaving his face, "Well, our headquarters are in the capitol if you're so interested."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Hidemune could see the disgust and anger in Minehime s eyes, but the boy couldn t. He was naive, a fool, if he thought their organization was in anyway good.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Thank you! I hope we can work together some day!" He bowed quickly before going back into town to see if he could find where all his money and his shop had gone. Hidemune glanced down at Minehine and smiled softly."We have no say, Mini, you know that...if he wants to join, we have to give him our blessing.."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Why, so he can become my handler? She let out a huff and turned her head away. The order already hates me, I wouldn t doubt they d hand me off to a kid like him.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Ah, but you would still have me around." He told her, "Come on, let's get going. What say you to some food?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Meat, I want meat. She followed after him, a bit of a bounce in her step as she followed.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He chuckled, "Mutton? Cow? Chicken?" He asked as he headed off.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Mm, mutton, with extra pepper. She said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Mutton it is." He pat her head gently as they headed into the next town over, where Hidemune bought Minehime her own weight in mutton about two whole goats. "When we get home, we'll laze about and do nothing."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Far up the coast, many miles from the city that was attacked by the horde of undead, was a small and peaceful little fishing city nestled in the side of a mountain. Most people made money selling fish and other sea life as food or medicinal products, and Nana and Motochika easily made their own. Motochika was beyond skilled at catching all kinds of sea life, and Nana knew which spices and vegetables went best with the sea life, and so flourished their little business of catching, cooking, and selling meals at a small stand, which brought in good money for the two, allowing them to purchase their own little home on the outskirts of the city.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Motochika loved the exercise going out and hunting gave him, as well as raw snacks of crab and squid he snagged along the way. He loved providing for Nana and doing what he could for her. He loved her more than he loved the sea.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana loved Motochika, and loved cooking the food he brought home for her. She would make him meals as well as the ones she would sell, cooking anything he asked, making him large and extravagant meals. She loved the look of excitement he got just before he d dig into the food. All was going well, their life was peaceful, and Nana s stores of herbs and spices was steadily growing as they made more and more money.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He had returned from his catch with a full net of yellow tail and albacore, grinning from ear to ear, "The sea is kind yet again."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana looked up with a smile from her herbs and spices she had just got from the shops, setting them aside and moving to give Motochika a big kiss on the cheek. It seems it has, thank you for catching fish for our shop, everyone has been begging we bring back the yellowtail dish again.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"They thought they could hide from me, but I know the sea like the back of my hand." He said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana helped him bring the fish in and lay them out for cleaning and preparation. I ve never doubted your ability to catch fish. She praised.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He smiled, "Oh, I know...I can't wait to see what you cook with the albacore." He licked his lips at the thought.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana only smiled as she tied her hair and sleeves back, bringing out their knives so she could clean the fish. So are you done for the day or are you going back again? She asked as she cut the fish.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"I might go back later so we're stocked up. But if you want me to stay, I would be more than happy "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded with a smile. Stay for lunch, then you can take the innards with you for chum. She said, motioning to the bucket of tuna innards she had to the side of her.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Maybe he would catch a shark for once. The last time he did, the money lasted them a month. Shark meat was hard to come by, what with the creature being so dangerous and all. He felt himself salivating and wiped his mouth quickly.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana would only laugh a bit and tease him about drooling, making enough food for Motochika and some for the stand, using salts to preserve the rest of the fish for later.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"If you weren't such a good cook, I wouldn't embarrass myself drooling all the time." He grinned.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She blushed a bit as she picked another pickled vegetable from her bowl of food, munching on it and averting her eyes. I It s nothing special...
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"You're kidding, it's amazing! I used to eat my food raw and I thoughtthatwas amazing!" He said.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She only blushed more, looking rather embarrassed. Thank you... I was worried my cooking was no good, but I m glad to hear that you like it..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"How could you think that?!" His eye was wide in shock, "That's absurd...!"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She held up her hands and shook her head. I I just figured I was average at cooking, and people only bought my food because it was cheap..! It sounded silly now that she said it aloud. Ah.. She sunk down, looking defeated. It sounds so ridiculous now that I say it out loud..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	"Nana, you think too little of yourself." He moved closer and nudged her affectionately, "They buy the food cuz it's great...same reason why I eat it."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She looked up at him and nodded, offering a shy smile. I ll work on my perspective... I do rather enjoy my cooking..
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He kissed her cheek, "You're very talented, my little coral "
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She leaned against him and muttered an embarrassed thank you.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	The next day while they manned the food stall, Motochika was passing out food faster than Nana could make it. "Does no one eat enough these days?"
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana only shook her head. I don t know, but we might have to close the stall down soon, we re nearly out of fish here. She said with a disappointed frown.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He waved his hand, "Nonsense, I'll go catch more, we'll be alright."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She nodded as she cut up the last of the fish. Thank you, Motochika, you re a lifesaver. She said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. If you get something you want for dinner, I ll cook it for you.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He gave a noise of delight, thinking of all the crustaceans he could catch and ask her to make. He removed his arms from the sleeves of his yukata and pushed it to bunch at his waist, "I'll be back before you know it."
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Be safe! She called after him as he headed off back toward the beach to catch more food for their stall, humming softly to herself as she worked.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	As he walked through to get to the beach, a scraggly little man eyed the spots on Motochika's back that no one really cared much about many assumed they were tattoos since he loved the sea and they did get the occasional spotted seal. But this man knew better. Much better.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	This town was a fishing town, but unlike most other fishing town, lore or mythical creatures wasn t much talked about, which was mainly the reason for the two of them moving to where they did, since not many people knew of the stories of Selkies anyway.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	He slipped away relatively unnoticed and made his way to where he knew Motochika and Nana lived, breaking in rather easily before he began rumaging around to find Motochika's pelt.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana had felt so silly when she realized that she was running out of her spices and seasonings at the stall as well, having to close it down temporarily anyway to run home and get more. She was hoping she could get home and back to the stand before Motochika noticed, so she was in a hurry and didn t notice that the front door was slightly ajar as she quickly slipped inside.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	When she entered the living room, it was a wreck. Like a tsunami came through and destroyed the place. She heard something coming from the bedroom. Was Motochika here?
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She slowed down a bit, but was tense, moving toward the bedroom before calling out. Motochika? Did you forget your net? She called as she stepped into the bedroom.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	She heard a gasp before something swung at her and sharp white hot pain went across her eyes before complete darkness.
Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)	Nana stumbled back, letting out a scream of pain as she clutched her hands to her face. The pain was really the only thing she could register, laying on the floor and trembling, barely hearing the footsteps that quickly fled the house.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He shook his head, "You can't stay here then...can you...?" He asked weakly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime looked down at the rose again. He doesn t have to worry about me anymore.. She muttered. He s keeping his eye on his living wives, and the ones with him now are keeping him busy... She looked sad. Plus.. Who would want to even come near me when I look like I do now..? The clouds outside had begun to shift and break apart, allowing more light into the room, now fully revealing Megohime. Horns sprouted from her inky black hair, which pooled around her as she crouched on the ground she wasn t wearing black clothing, in fact, she wore nothing at all. Her skin itself was pitch black, and the soft clacking he had heard earlier, was from her. Her legs were no longer human legs, but goat ones, complete with shark black goat hooves and shaggy, glossy black fur. I m disgusting..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Not even a little bit..." He muttered, looking up at her, "Far from it, actually..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

How could you even think otherwise? Look at this horrible body I m in! She clawed at her furry legs, face twisting to a scowl.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Mego..." He said gently, "It doesn't matter what body you're in...I still love you..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

...I love you too.. She whispered. I love you, I love you so much..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He stood and moved over, bringing her into his arms and holding her tight, "I thought I lost you forever..."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She wrapped her arms around him, holding onto him tightly. I was so scared, I missed you..!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I missed you, too...so much..." He whispered, nuzzling into her hair.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She cried softly against his chest, nuzzling him and apologizing through her tears. It seemed like the two stayed in each other s arms for hours, eventually moving to the bed to be a bit more comfortable. Megohime has her head rested on Masamune s chest, arms still wrapped around him as he held her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

There was a knock on the door and Masamune glanced over."Yeah?""Is everything alright in here? I heard shouting a bit ago." Kojurou called.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime only turned her face away, hiding it from the familiar, her black body dark enough to be hardly seen in the unlit room.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"It's alright, Kojurou...just some flashbacks from Mego's passing...I'll be ok.." Masamune said."Of course. Let me know of you need anything." Kojurou called through the door and left.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime didn t mind that Masamune didn t tell Kojurou of her presence, preferred it in fact. Once she head Kojurou s fading footsteps dissapear completely, she looked back up at Masamune, squeezing him gently.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You ok?" He asked gently, "That big ol' bag of feathers didn't scare you, did he ?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

No... I m just worried about what he ll think of me.. She said softly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"He won't think any differently about you..." He said softly, "It's Kojurou.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She made a soft noise, looking back down at his chest. Ok.... Just, don t tell him about me just yet, ok..?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I won't...not til you're ready.." He replied.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She would stay with him well into the morning, but would remain hidden inside Masamune s room when he had to go start his daily routine.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When he came back, he had a stack of books with him, "Ok, so I did some reading and I think I found a way to free you from that bastard for at least a few decades." He said, setting the stack on the desk in his room.Akihime and Daisuke had to move, the towns people were getting restless with them there if Yukimura had burned the orphanage down, why didn't they die as well? Daisuke grew nervous they would put Akihime to the stake if they found out she had any magical abilities and thusly forced her to move, ignoring her protests to wait for Yukimura to come home.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime had drapped a blanket over herself and was sitting at the window seat watching the world outside. What? She turned to look at him, standing and moving over. Let me see. She was only wearing the blanket over her head and shoulders, as he found out she was easily able to change her form, making clothes a little tricky. However, due to her body being an almost light canceling black, the details of her naked body couldn t be seen easily.Even as Daisuke and Akihime travelled which Akihime did as slowly as she could in hopes of Yukimura turning up there was no sign of him. He must ve stayed in his spot in the mountains, but eventually even the townsfolk would find him, and they too might burn him at the stake.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Masamune grinned from ear to ear, "Make a contract with me. Like I have with Kojurou." He said, "Become my Familiar.""D Daisuke, please...if he comes back or if they find him, they'll !""He didn't care about us when he left, he doesn't care about us now. If he wants to die, let him die." Daisuke growled. Akihime hiccuped, fighting new tears.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime stared at Masamune, mouth open slightly and her eyes slowly widening. Wha.. But Masamune, I m ademon! She said, shock and disbelief on her face.Bubbles rose from the depths of the lake, then seconds later, a figure burst from beneath the water, gasping and panting. Yukimura let himself float in the water, staring up at the sky as black dots danced in his vision from holding his breath too long. His lungs ached and his limbs were heavy with cold, but he had still been working for hours. He didn t really know why he was doing it, but he felt starting anywhere was better than nowhere.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"So?" He asked, "It's only slightly frowned upon. And I couldn't care less about what people thought of me." He told her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She clutched the blanket close to her chest, a frown of worry spreading across her face. But what if they come after you? What if they try to hurt you..? She looked genuinely worried for him at least she wasn t completely a demon.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"They won't because once you become my familiar, you can more accurately change your form and hide like Kojurou does." He told her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime was still embarrassed about her inability to control her shape at times, changing form without meaning to and being unable to change back to the shape she wanted. She let her eyes drop to the floor and she nodded. I promise to protect you... I won t let anyone hurt you...

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I know you will, Mego." He smiled, moving and trying to hold her hands, "You'll be free...that's all I care about.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She let him take her hands, smiling softly and turning her face away to hide it. H How do we make the pact..? Is it different when a demons involved?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"A little? Since you're already here, I don't have to give up my blood to summon you." He grinned, "And I already know your name so the binding will be easy."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime fidgeted a little, and Masamune could ve sworn he saw a tail peek out momentarily from under the blanket. Ok, and what do I have to do..?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Well, I do need a couple, uh...Hell specific things from you...assuming you can go back. But..." He grabbed a book and flipped through, "I don't think they're wholly required at this point in time.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

I can get them! She said almost too quickly, looking eager, infact, the tail Masamune thought he had glimpsed was confirmed when he saw it practically wagging. What do I need to get? I ll get them!

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He smiled softly and laughed softly, "Ok, ok...I can see you're quite enthusiastic about this. Um, for the binding and contracting of a demon we will neeeeeed..." He flipped through some more before finding what he needed, "a demon heart, a charred bone from a damned soul and a black gem."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Megohime nodded. It might take some time to get those, but I can definitely get the materials. She said with a smile.The weather as of late had been terrible, heavy black clouds hanging in the sky over the city for days, a wind so cold it chilled you down to the bone, yet no rain ever came. With Akihime now out of work due to the orphanage being burned to the ground, Daisuke was only able to trade the wild herbs and vegetables he found in the mountains to trade in town for goods they would need.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Akihime made herbal remedies with a bit of her white magic for Daisuke to sell as well things for illness or better health and things. They didn't always sell, but when they did the money was good. With the weather being so bad, a lot of her health remedies were sold by the crate load. He was restocking all the bottles when he heard a woman scream, and upon looking there were hoards of the undead running through the town and killing all in their path. His breath halted in his throat and he hid in his stall, covering his ears.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Even with his ears covered, he could hear the stampeding of the cityfolk and the undead. Some shambled around like stiff corpses, and others ran and moved as though they still were alive. The noises only grew louder as the activity was slowly brought into the market where most of the people were already gathered were they going to find Daisuke? Could they smell him?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He shut his eyes tight, hoping,prayinghe wouldn't be found. It was like he was in a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from. God, he didn't get to say goodbye to Akihime.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He felt the small wooden stand he was hiding behind jolt hard and be pulled away from him slightly. His eyes met a giant of a corpse, blood and drool dripping from his open mouth as it stared down Daisuke, then it lunged for him with a growl. Before it could lay even a finger on him, something slammed the monster to the ground, a sword through its head.It was a girl, she stood up from a crouched position, pulling her short sword free of the monsters head with ease and looked around the area, probably for her next target. She only looked a few years younger than him, but she was dressed as a knight.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He stared in awe of her before he was pulled to his feet."Are you hurt?" He looked at a young man about the same height as him, with black hair pulled into a small ponytail and calm blue eyes. Daisuke shook his head slowly, this young man was also dressed similarly to the girl who saved him. "Good, please evacuate to a safe distance. We will handle this." Daisuke only nodded before rushing off out of town. The young man moved to the girl and made a noise."Do you see what summoned them? A necromancer, anything?" He asked her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The girl shook her head, sheathing her sword on her hip and looking to him. I cant track down the caster, the dead and the townsfolks scent is masking his, but he s here. She spoke, but her mouth never opened, never moved, only the young man heading her voice in his head.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He made a soft noise and looked around, "I'll do my best to find him, continue to return the dead to their rest."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She gave a nod and headed off down the cobblestone road, rounding a corner and disappearing quickly to dispatch more undead.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He sniffed around slowly, trying to locate any odd smells before calmly heading off toward the cemetery. It would be too obvious for a necromancer to be there but it was still worth a look. His form began to change into a large dog with fur black as pitch and he moved easily through the graveyard.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

With his sensitive hearing, he could hear his partner off in the city, still taking out undead, but she was hardly finding any trouble with them.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

That's good, at least. He never really had to worry about her too much. He kept sniffing around before finding what he wanted the necromancer wasn't too far from the graveyard, he could smell the magic and death over the stench of the graves.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Minihime had finally tracked down and killed all of the zombies, cleaning the blood from her blade before sheathing it once more, she headed to where most of the townsfolk had gathered, waiting there for Hidemune. None of the people smelled like they had any affliction from the dead, which was good, but they still kept their distance from her, and she from them.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Mini." Hidemune moved over to her, fixing his armor,"Everything good on your end?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She turned to face him and gave a nod. Everyone here is fine, no one afflicted. She communicated as she moved over to him, resting one hand on the pommel of her sword. Did you find the necromancer?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I did, and he's dealt with." He answered before petting her head gently, "Good work today.""Hey!" Hidemune looked up when Daisuke rushed toward them, eyes wide in awe, "Let me join your knight order!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She seemed to rather enjoy him petting her head, smiling a toothy grin, beaming at him before it vanished when she heard the human boy speak up behind them. Her smile dropped into a scowl, and she kept her back to the boy, only glancing at him over her shoulder.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Ah, well there's a lot of training involved." Hidemune said, smiling softly. Daisuke looked enthralled."That's fine! What you two did was...incredible!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Minehime turned her head away from Daisuke, a soft scowl on her face. He s an idiot.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Hidemune merely pet her head, smile never leaving his face, "Well, our headquarters are in the capitol if you're so interested."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Hidemune could see the disgust and anger in Minehime s eyes, but the boy couldn t. He was naive, a fool, if he thought their organization was in anyway good.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Thank you! I hope we can work together some day!" He bowed quickly before going back into town to see if he could find where all his money and his shop had gone. Hidemune glanced down at Minehine and smiled softly."We have no say, Mini, you know that...if he wants to join, we have to give him our blessing.."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Why, so he can become my handler? She let out a huff and turned her head away. The order already hates me, I wouldn t doubt they d hand me off to a kid like him.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Ah, but you would still have me around." He told her, "Come on, let's get going. What say you to some food?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Meat, I want meat. She followed after him, a bit of a bounce in her step as she followed.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He chuckled, "Mutton? Cow? Chicken?" He asked as he headed off.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Mm, mutton, with extra pepper. She said.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Mutton it is." He pat her head gently as they headed into the next town over, where Hidemune bought Minehime her own weight in mutton about two whole goats. "When we get home, we'll laze about and do nothing."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Far up the coast, many miles from the city that was attacked by the horde of undead, was a small and peaceful little fishing city nestled in the side of a mountain. Most people made money selling fish and other sea life as food or medicinal products, and Nana and Motochika easily made their own. Motochika was beyond skilled at catching all kinds of sea life, and Nana knew which spices and vegetables went best with the sea life, and so flourished their little business of catching, cooking, and selling meals at a small stand, which brought in good money for the two, allowing them to purchase their own little home on the outskirts of the city.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Motochika loved the exercise going out and hunting gave him, as well as raw snacks of crab and squid he snagged along the way. He loved providing for Nana and doing what he could for her. He loved her more than he loved the sea.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana loved Motochika, and loved cooking the food he brought home for her. She would make him meals as well as the ones she would sell, cooking anything he asked, making him large and extravagant meals. She loved the look of excitement he got just before he d dig into the food. All was going well, their life was peaceful, and Nana s stores of herbs and spices was steadily growing as they made more and more money.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He had returned from his catch with a full net of yellow tail and albacore, grinning from ear to ear, "The sea is kind yet again."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana looked up with a smile from her herbs and spices she had just got from the shops, setting them aside and moving to give Motochika a big kiss on the cheek. It seems it has, thank you for catching fish for our shop, everyone has been begging we bring back the yellowtail dish again.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"They thought they could hide from me, but I know the sea like the back of my hand." He said.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana helped him bring the fish in and lay them out for cleaning and preparation. I ve never doubted your ability to catch fish. She praised.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He smiled, "Oh, I know...I can't wait to see what you cook with the albacore." He licked his lips at the thought.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana only smiled as she tied her hair and sleeves back, bringing out their knives so she could clean the fish. So are you done for the day or are you going back again? She asked as she cut the fish.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"I might go back later so we're stocked up. But if you want me to stay, I would be more than happy "

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded with a smile. Stay for lunch, then you can take the innards with you for chum. She said, motioning to the bucket of tuna innards she had to the side of her.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Maybe he would catch a shark for once. The last time he did, the money lasted them a month. Shark meat was hard to come by, what with the creature being so dangerous and all. He felt himself salivating and wiped his mouth quickly.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana would only laugh a bit and tease him about drooling, making enough food for Motochika and some for the stand, using salts to preserve the rest of the fish for later.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"If you weren't such a good cook, I wouldn't embarrass myself drooling all the time." He grinned.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She blushed a bit as she picked another pickled vegetable from her bowl of food, munching on it and averting her eyes. I It s nothing special...

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"You're kidding, it's amazing! I used to eat my food raw and I thoughtthatwas amazing!" He said.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She only blushed more, looking rather embarrassed. Thank you... I was worried my cooking was no good, but I m glad to hear that you like it..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"How could you think that?!" His eye was wide in shock, "That's absurd...!"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She held up her hands and shook her head. I I just figured I was average at cooking, and people only bought my food because it was cheap..! It sounded silly now that she said it aloud. Ah.. She sunk down, looking defeated. It sounds so ridiculous now that I say it out loud..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

"Nana, you think too little of yourself." He moved closer and nudged her affectionately, "They buy the food cuz it's great...same reason why I eat it."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She looked up at him and nodded, offering a shy smile. I ll work on my perspective... I do rather enjoy my cooking..

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He kissed her cheek, "You're very talented, my little coral "

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She leaned against him and muttered an embarrassed thank you.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

The next day while they manned the food stall, Motochika was passing out food faster than Nana could make it. "Does no one eat enough these days?"

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana only shook her head. I don t know, but we might have to close the stall down soon, we re nearly out of fish here. She said with a disappointed frown.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He waved his hand, "Nonsense, I'll go catch more, we'll be alright."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She nodded as she cut up the last of the fish. Thank you, Motochika, you re a lifesaver. She said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. If you get something you want for dinner, I ll cook it for you.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He gave a noise of delight, thinking of all the crustaceans he could catch and ask her to make. He removed his arms from the sleeves of his yukata and pushed it to bunch at his waist, "I'll be back before you know it."

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Be safe! She called after him as he headed off back toward the beach to catch more food for their stall, humming softly to herself as she worked.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

As he walked through to get to the beach, a scraggly little man eyed the spots on Motochika's back that no one really cared much about many assumed they were tattoos since he loved the sea and they did get the occasional spotted seal. But this man knew better. Much better.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

This town was a fishing town, but unlike most other fishing town, lore or mythical creatures wasn t much talked about, which was mainly the reason for the two of them moving to where they did, since not many people knew of the stories of Selkies anyway.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

He slipped away relatively unnoticed and made his way to where he knew Motochika and Nana lived, breaking in rather easily before he began rumaging around to find Motochika's pelt.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana had felt so silly when she realized that she was running out of her spices and seasonings at the stall as well, having to close it down temporarily anyway to run home and get more. She was hoping she could get home and back to the stand before Motochika noticed, so she was in a hurry and didn t notice that the front door was slightly ajar as she quickly slipped inside.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

When she entered the living room, it was a wreck. Like a tsunami came through and destroyed the place. She heard something coming from the bedroom. Was Motochika here?

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She slowed down a bit, but was tense, moving toward the bedroom before calling out. Motochika? Did you forget your net? She called as she stepped into the bedroom.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

She heard a gasp before something swung at her and sharp white hot pain went across her eyes before complete darkness.

Mornië utúlië (1x1 w/ Jikkah)

Nana stumbled back, letting out a scream of pain as she clutched her hands to her face. The pain was really the only thing she could register, laying on the floor and trembling, barely hearing the footsteps that quickly fled the house.
