A.N./ Something silly that came to mind, after noting that Nameless was in the company of a curious Kyoshu
Nameless, as she had become resigned to everyone calling her, and even thinking of herself as, was not exactly having the best day.
Oh sure, Honjo had said she would be safe in their current company. And she trusted her sister's word. But still.....
..... at the very least, somebody else could have stuck with her, as a back up and third party against her current (one-sided) conversation partner.
"Hi! I'm Kyoshu! Who are you?"
Even after the multiple assurances from Honjo, and the three more responsible Muramasas who seemed nominally in charge of wrangling the rest, Nameless can't resist the slight tremor of trepidation and fear that runs down her spine at being so close to the infamous and reviled Sword of Faded Memories.

This is the monster who tormented her sisters for well over three hundred years, out of a nigh incomprehensible obsession with proving herself the greatest of them all.
When the ICW-backed Magical Diet first came to power and began enforcing the Statute of secrecy, she had at first played the part of willing tool in erasing the memories of many muggles in positions of power who 'no longer needed to know' the existence of magic. Mainly just so that she could often seed in them insidiously subtle beginnings of unhappy feelings, that would eventually drive many towards either infidelity or an inability to ever openly express pride or love towards their children.
And while nothing had ever been directly proven, when her usefulness to the ICW was at an end, many suspected that she had already anticipated and stabbed them back first, by secretly brainwashing a number of aurors who had been assigned to monitor her during her 'employment'. Upon being told to bring her in, the poor souls who most believed had been turned into Manchurian candidate style sleeper agents, and then memory-wiped to not even remember being initially brainwashed, formed a secret conspiracy that eventually resulted in the violent murder of the Head of Magical Law Enforcement in his own home, and Japan's ICW representative being killed after someone shoved a dozen searing hot bars of gold and silver bullion marked with British, American and French seals down his throat. As their final act, the conspirators then proceeded to kill themselves, resulting in that that none would ever uncover the actual truth of their motivations and conspiracy.
And that was easily one of the tamer things she had done!
Nameless had heard tales during the late 1600s of how the Sword of Faded Memories once caught wind of rumors regarding an up and coming onmyouji who sought prestige by boasting of one day destroying her. Kyoshu's response was to hunt the man down, and then temporarily brainwash him into a fervently loyal and sadistic servant. One that she then found great pleasure in releasing from her cruel enthrallment, only after she had him oversee and personally conduct the slow and tortuously drawn out death of his own family with his own two hands. For extra 'entertainment', she then stripped him of everything he had even known about fighting and spellcasting, simply because his anguish and impotence at being so close and yet so impotent, was of further amusement to her.
That was the kind of accursed fiend the Sword of Faded Memories is!
It doesn't matter how bad off she is after whatever she might have gone through during the war. Surely it couldn't have been that much worse than whatever Nameless herself experienced.
Through and through, Kyoshu to her evil, heartless core, was the kind of monster who....
Who....

Who is currently jabbering away at her a mile a minute?
"Are you a Masamune? You look like a Masamune? At least I think you look like a Masamune? Mou, I don't really know what Masamunes look like, but I think Norimune does! Norimune says they all suffer from resting bitchface, whatever that is- do you know what resting bitchface is? Supposedly Masamunes all have it, but then I wonder why they don't just take potions for it like Norimune sometimes does for her infections nobody wants to tell me about. I wonder if if resting bitchface is infectious? Like stupid! Norimune sometimes tells me not to hang around Akutoku too much, or I might catch her stupid, but I'm not sure how you'd catch stupid, so maybe it's like clouds? Clouds look like something you can hold, but according to Kago, you can't and they're just cold and wet, which is sad, because I think they're be nice and fluffy, because I like fluffy things, do you like fluffy things? I like drawing fluffy things sometimes when Akutoku lets me use her drawing stuff, even though Chisuheri says I get paint everywhere, and then I have to take a bath, but that's okay, because Akutoku sometimes gives me these neat stars for drawing stuff! Like clouds and oranges! I like oranges! I really like-like Blood Oranges! Do you like-like Blood Oranges? All my sisters do too! Well, everyone except Chisuheri, she like-likes blood, but she doesn't have it very much because she says it's bad for her temperament or something, but she still just-one-like likes Blood Oranges, and I like Blood Oranges as well! So do the rest of my sisters! Do you like Blood Oranges? If you do, maybe you're a new sister? I know we have a bunch I don't really know, but I don't really remember names that well, but you don't really look like family, so maybe you're a friend? Are you a friend? Your face looks kinda familiar? Or maybe just something about your face? Mou, I think Norimune had a word for it, but Umitsubame says not to use it, but Norimune keeps on doing it, and Suisei says it's childish to hold a grudge, but I think Norimune just doesn't like Masamunes because there's this one Masumune she doesn't like, and you look a bit like a Masamune too now that I think about it, are you a Masamune? I can't remember if we've ever met, but Hi! I'm Kyoshu! What's your name? Wait- don't tell me, I want to guess! I think I do know you, or maybe I know somebody you're related to- you do look kinda familiar- is it mean to say you kinda remind me of a bad word? Because there's a word that Norimune sometimes uses, but I don't want to use it, because Suisei said it's impolite, Chisuheri said I shouldn't listen to everything Norimune says, and Umi said that if anyone uses anymore bad words around her family's kids this week, mouths will be washed out with soap, and that sounds not-so-fun, but I don't actually know what soap tastes like, do you know what soap tastes like? Do you think it tastes bubbly? It looks bubbly, so maybe it tastes like something else that's bubbly, do you think it tastes more like coke or Ramune? But then that would be confusing, because Ramune can taste like so many things! There's more Ramune flavors than colors of the rainbow, which makes me wonder, do you think if you mixed all the flavors together, if it would taste like a rainbow? Maybe it would be a Ramune Rainbow! Or a Rainbow Ramune? Hehe, that sounds funny- Rainbow Ramune. Raaaiiiiinboooow Raaaamuuuuneeee! You know, that word also makes me think of something else. Ra - mu - ne? it sounds a lot like Ma - sa - mu - ne doesn't it? Say, you look kind of like a Masamune too! Are you a Masamune? I don't really know a lot of Masamunes, do you know me? I don't know you though? Mou, we be we don't know each other? Oh well! Akutoku always says that strangers are friends you haven't met yet! Except if they have vans and candy. She said not to be friends with those people, which is sad, because why else do they want to hand out candy? A guy like that offered me candy and wanted to be my friend, but then the others said no. I think Akutoku, Norimune and Kago just wanted to be his friends and take all his candy for themselves, because I never saw that guy at the park again asking people to be his friend, and then his van was on tv being pulled out of the bay by a crane, so they must have gone to the beach like friends sometimes do in Akutoku's picture books that Umi gets mad about if they're left out, and hey, do you want to be my friend? I have loads of sisters already, and then you can be friends with them too! We can be best-est buds! The two of us together, yeah! Kyoshu and... and.... um.... mou, I don't know your name? Oh right, Umi says you should introduce yourself to people you've never met before! Hi! I'm Kyoshu! Who are you?"
Nameless stares, as her brain briefly slips a few gears struggling to make sense of things.
