Chikai no Satsuei - The Rituals of the Forsworn

[Munen Musou]

After the two sisters have properly taken care of Munen's palm and fingers she watches as the hooded figure gets dragged infront of her and forced into a kneeling position. A surprised flash in her eyes is clearly noticeable when the person's identity gets revealed to the Chrysanthemum, followed by a stern look.

While her husband is starting to babble in confusion, slowly realizing his position, Munen bows to the Hatsuyume and grabs the Wakizashi's hilt strong-willed with her unharmed hand. "I understand Hatsuyume, he reflects just my long gone past. My former self who struggled with the shadows covering Kusari. Years ago my mind would have been troubled with what you ask me for here." And with that she swiftly rotates around her own axis, accompanied by the sound of the blade Munen carries cutting through the air. The Kusarian comes to a hold when the blade smoothly cuts through the man's throat turning his babbling into a desperate gurgle.

Yet she isn't done. Her first stab following up intentionally misses the heart. She takes a moment to give the man's dying terrified eyes a deep uninterpretable look and just then finishes the cold blooded murder by driving the traditonal Kusarian short sword through his already weakened blood-pumping muscle.

Munen hands the Wakizashi back to the sister she got it from. As she bows to the Hatsuyume once again, hoping for her approval, there is that wet heavy noise of the slumping dead body.

After all he was no different from those faceless guards on Fuchu to her...
