All Naginata user jump at him . Everyone were fight on the tune she made .

In that small battle , some people were losing hands , some were losing legs — Inshort , it was mass blood bath .
The first string of her shamisen disappear . As well as the Naginata Soldier .
" I thought you are weak , but you are quiet strong . "
Ishikawa grins at her .

She lift her two finger and hurricane of sword began to move but sword were coming from that hurricane .
" Hey , Asakawa girl , Isn't she wake up ? "
Ishikawa shout but she didn't response .
Asaki run to the house where Yumi was sleeping . She start to wake her up .

She didn't wake up .Then she realize —
" Yumi-chan is DEAD —
How ? When ? Why ? She was inside the whole time then how ? Her tear start to flow .
Did the enemy did to her ? But there is not any kind of marks or intention of killing on her body .
Then Why ? What should I do ? What should I do ? What Should I —
" Asakawa girl , hey , Asakawa girl —

Asaki take the dead body of the Yumi outside and shout " Ishikawa - san , Yumi - chan is dead —
But didn't expect his reaction to be that , he is smiling and said , " It's fine . Don't worry . She will be fine . "
Yumi dead body on Asaki hand start to float in the air , her body was cover in the blue like aura . Her body was moving like she was dancing in the air . Her hand were doing different sign but she don't know what was that sign for .
She finally openly her eyes but eyes change into blue . It look like she is just a different person . She just waving left hand and whole hurricane of swords vanish in air .That was great shocked for Kiki though . If anything have to be said about her in short , she look like Goddess that reign the battlefield .
Asaki was shocked .
" Now , just break the seal already , Hinamuzke . "
Hinamuzke ?
" Pure the Impure , Impure the pure , Seize the light and Perish that darkness — "
Enchant , Spell and Sutras —- All written in her right hand start to glow —
" Eight - Diagram Lotus Seal — Release . "
Shape of lotus with eight petal glowing brightly —( where Ishikawa standing )
And in that short moment Ishikawa was in different area or protal or it was realm .
In that realm , everything was red . Sky , land , even the moon . But there were swords , many swords , hundred or thousand .
Ishikawa walk , walk and keeping walk untill he saw the twin swords that was at top of corpse mountain ( probably people kill by the twin sword ) .
There was a red lake ( probably lake of blood ) . He walk toward it but corpse pulling him down . He walk , stepping in their head , chest , body . He climb of to the top .
Finally he saw twin sword but it was in chain . He touch it said -
" After a long time , we are together - Kurayami — Karu-sa . "
" Now , It time to eat . "
He pull out the sword , rays of light . And —
He got the twin sword — right sword was long but left was little short like the topof the blade was cut by someone — with chain on the hilt .
" Wow , Fancy update you got there . "
Said Kiki .
Asaki was amazed but Yumi fell down ,
and sleep . She was alive and all her sutras vanished along with the blue auras .
" Now time for final blow to end , what do you say , Ronin ? "
Ishikawa didn't answer but something was wrong about him .
" Something is off " Kiki thought but —
Now final string — Kaizeki Kaizen — Rakujin —
Corpse of the dead soldier merge and become the gaint soldier with sword and axe .
" Rakujin , My final ace —
Kiki cough the blood —
" Its look like I have reach my limits —
Infront of a such fearsome monster , Ishikawa was calm but — calm was before the real storm .
Rakujin , attack the huge axe at him — but he didn't move . He take his left sword said —
" Karu-sa " and block it .
" Impossible , such a small sword able to stop Rakujin axe — Impossible —
" Rakujin , attack untill he die . "
Rakujin , gone insane and attack him non-stop but nothing happened .
" Now , my turn —
He take his right sword and said —
" Eat , Kurayami —
The written sutras start to glow — strike with one swing cause heavy explosion —
Whole place was damage with that power . Whole house was gone with nothing to left . Kiki, whole left hand was gone . Rakujin whole body was blow away with nothing to remain .
" Bastard , Ronin — he had —su - such a th—thing under his sleeve huh — I really underestimate him —
Infront of her eyes — Some people start to show up —
" What is this ? Memories — Flashback — oh That right what they called it — Last Moment .
A girl was smiling — " That right , That me . Now it make me wonder when did lose my smile —
Older woman with her hand over the girl and man who was with her —
" Mom , Dad , right ? My dad was samurai chief in the village . My mom was a kind woman .Both of them were respect person on my hometown but —
" After the war , my hometown was in famine . So the feudal lord of my hometown order my father to ask the farmers and other people on the town to donate on the famine . Many people contribute their saving , money , jewellery — some gave rice , some gave maize . Everyone help in their way only because they trust my father and mother."
" But Feudal lord greed end everything I have . Feudal take the people money and say that he never order my father to collect the donation . My father remove from the post in the blame of take money for personal use . Everyone in the village start to believe that .Vilagers start to harassed my father and mother . Both father and mother was hated by the villagers .
" Man pride is precious than his life that what we say right . I think that why my father and mother decide to kill themself . But there was one mistake they did . They couldn't kill me too . Their only daughter .
" What a pitiful song , it is indeed .Untill I met Toshizu Arai . Then , that when I became ture demon . Toshizu Arai taught me about sword and shikikiri . After that I took revenge on the feudal lord and villager . I don't regret or feel guilt at all . I killed many people , woman and children . I was a demon after all but even after kill so many people only thing —
I miss was the smile , happiness and peace that I had then . I don't remember when did I lose that . I still search it for that . "
Ishikawa was standing — and said , " Last word ? "
Kiki lying on the ground breathing her last breath .
She said , " Hey , Ronin You have kill many people , right ? Have find the peace in that ? "
Ishikawa pause — and said , " Sword can only give you blood , but cannot give you peace . How much noble your thought may be but sword can only give you death .After all human are closest to become the demon . "
With that she smile and said , " I see , that what it is . "
Her last smile , her last breath , his sword and the strings all broken .
