AUTHOR'S NOTE!: You know what? Instead of doing this, I think I'll just send everyone to the very first part of Forgotten Memories to read. After all, if you forget what happens, you can always read the chapter from before this one, right? So, what's the point in doing a relapse or whatever it's called? Anywho, on to the story! ?
-Now-
After Flokka dodged the sword, she looked up at Fumaki as if she had made it show up out of thin air, and had aimed it at her. But, behind her, was someone else, obviously. An enemy of her village, who had no head-band, and glaring silver eyes.
"Who the hell are you and what do you want? Why would just attack someone you don't even know!" Flokka yelled to the strange ninja.
"Oh, you didn't know? This entire village is my target, and the Hidden Blade Village shall fall!" the stranger yelled, throwing a dagger similar to Fumaki's daggers at the girl. To everyone's surprise, Fumaki caught it in mid-air, and threw it back to the person without turning to see where he was. It landed square over the stranger's heart, and poison exploded out of it, killing him slowly, and very, very painfully until he exploded as well.
Flokka, Srenda, and Tsubaki all stared in shock at their old friend's ability. "Fumaki...how can you possibly do that?" Srenda asked.
"I told you, I'm not the same Fumaki you once knew, Srenda. I've changed. I can never go back to being who I once was," Fumaki said to her.
Srenda, Tsubaki, and Flokka were all shocked. "Fumaki, you used to be so caring and shy around people! You'd always be afraid to even yell at a person for fear of hurting their feelings! Now, you'll kill without a second thought? What's the matter with you? You can't possibly be the same Fumaki as when we were little!" Flokka yelled at the emotionless girl.
"I'm still the same person, Flokka. I'm just different, now. Having an entire village think you're a murderer over something you didn't even think could happen will do that to you. When it happens to you, THEN I dare you to come and scold me for changing so much. I fucking DARE you, Flokka. Don't scold me when you saw what the old Maikage did and said to all of you," Fumaki sneered, already having taken out her sword and ready for a long, bloody, and deadly battle.
"You can't be the same person, the Fumaki we once knew would never even raise her voice to a person, let alone kill them?" Tsubaki yelled. 'She can't be the Fumaki Nakarato we all knew and loved. She just can't be.'
"Well get used to it, because I'll never be that same cowardous girl again. I've been forced to kill multiple times just to stay alive! When that happens to you, then come and scold me about it, like I said before. But, right now is not the time. Now is the time for battle. So, who's ready to die, next?" Fumaki sneered, eyes turning from their blood red, to ice blue as she turned to people, activating her Maaningan. Little did she or anyone else know, Axel had activated HER Kekke Genkai, Kuroiunmeigan(1).
"Okay, guys. Let's get to the battle." With that, Fumaki jumped into battle, surprising everyone with her speed, except Seigyoku and Axel.
"Fumaki!" Axel yelled, causing her to turn around curiously. "You had better come out of this battle alive, or else! I'll bring you back and kill you myself!" she shouted.
Fumaki nodded, turned back around, and vanished into battle, knowing that it would be long, and bloody.
-Hours Later-
She was pinned. Yes, Fumaki Nakarato herself was pinned to the ground, swords and daggers lodged in her arms and legs with a knife at her throat.
"Ready to give up now...Daughter?" a voice said above her.
"No...Mother. I'm not," she spat. "I would rather die than let you have the satisfaction of me accepting defeat. If you think it'll ever happen, then keep dreaming!" she hissed.
"Ooh, fiesty even at Death's door. I'd be so proud of you if you were not so fucking retarded as to see who is stronger," Leboa snickered.
"Yeah, whatever. You can't kill me, Mother. There's no possible way you'd have the heart to kill your only child. It's impossible, even for a monster like you!" Fumaki said. Leboa put more pressure onto one of the daggers in Fumaki's left shoulder, causing it to dig in deeper, and Fumaki to cry out.
"You think I wouldn't hesitate to kill you, do you? Then, you are about to be proven wrong. Goodbye, Fumaki. We'll meet again in Hell," Leboa said, raising her sword higher and making it hover over the spot Fumaki's heart was. Just as it was about to come down, a blade came through her heart, and the strings on the back of her neck.
Fumaki's eyes widened as she saw the blade. Behind her mother, she saw none other than Seigyoku Kumori. "No, goodbye to you, Slobakini," he sneered in her ear, pulling the sword out and running to Fumaki's side. "Are you okay?" he asked pulling one of the swords out, and noticed something horrifying.
"I'm fine, Seig. Don't worry about the poison. My blood's made of poison, nothing'll happen," Fumaki breathed out. She felt so tired. "I'm just...tired...is all," she said, eyes slowly closing, and fading from blue, to a weak red.
"Don't you dare fall asleep, Fumaki Nakarato. You might not wake up if you do! Stay with me, Fumaki!" Seigyoku cried out, panicking as Fumaki's eyes faded almost completely.
"Seig..." she whispered weakly. "I...love you. Don't...ever...forget...that." With that said, Fumaki's eyes faded completely, and her body fell limp in Seigyoku's arms.
"No! Fumaki...?"
Silence.
"Fumaki?"
Not even a slight twitch.
"Fumaki!"
She didn't move, only stayed deathly still and pale.
"FUMAKI!" he wailed, leaning against her cold, still chest, and cried his heart out until he felt numb. He slowly reached down and closed her eyes.
'She looks like she's only sleeping,' he thought, heart aching for the dead girl in his arms. 'I'm so sorry I couldn't save you in time, Fumaki... Please, please forgive me...' he inwardly begged.
He picked her corpse up, and darted for the others, where the body would be safe until the time to bury her.
-With Axel-
"Son. Of. A. Murdering. Bitch," Axel said to herself as she saw Seigyoku carrying Fumaki's body over to where she was.
"Axel...she's gone..." he said when he got to her, sounding heart-broken
"I can see this. Who did it?" she asked.
"Her mother. The one we killed. I killed her again, and there was a string connected to her. I think that's what kept bringing her back to life. She's dead for good now," he said, gently setting Fumaki's body down.
Just then, Neka arrived to the village, saw Fumaki's corpse, and instantly knew what happened. She was so pissed, her vampire side, and demon side joined together, as she became a murderous vampire demon. "Who. Did. This?" she hissed out. When Seigyoku explained what happened, Neka looked even more pissed.
"Now's not the time to mourn the loss, Seigyoku Kumori. Now is the time to kill. Take your grief and turn it to anger! Kill everyone who even tried to kill Fumaki. We'll take care of the body after this battle is over.
They both nodded, and went off to battle, killing every last one of the enemies.
When they got back to where Fumaki's body was supposed to be, they were shocked.
Fumaki's body...was gone.

If they even did one thing wrong, they'll go hysterical, and commit suicide. It can also see the state of a person's mind, heart, and their life. It can see into a person's being, soul, and physical body. It's the only Kekke Genkai beside's Seigyoku's Sharingan that is immune to Fumaki's Maaningan (Death Eye), activated or not.
