 Umeko Umeko tsked under her tongue before she vanished in a puff of smoke leaving no trace that she had been in that spot. Screams and cries of pain could be heard as Umeko did her job. And when she was done, she appeared in a puff of smoke again in the same place she had left. "Let's go, we cannot afford anymore distractions."

"Wait what! What did you just do? Who was following us? Did you even take the second to check?" Damian said, rushing after Umeko. He stopped her and glared down at her. "Who was following us? I want to know or this mission will be over right here and you won't ever get to avenge your sister." Damian said, bringing his hands up out of his coat. He unsnapped the poncho like cape around him, which gave him more maneuverability. He crossed his arms and stared down at Umeko.

Umeko Umeko just crossed her arms looking at him, "Look, there were ninjas following us, or more likely, me. From the colors and crests they were wearing, they belonged to the General we are after. Apparently, he must be expecting us. I used a special technique to extract that information, so for your personal benefit, they had no families. They were Soulless Ninjas, only grunts that do the dirty work no one else wants to do," she then moved past him, "Now let's get movi-" a large bang went off and she felt pain shoot through her body as blood started pouring from her chest.

"And that's why you always wanna get all the information from your enemy." Damian said, tearing his fingers off. He tossed them towards where the bang came from, and when they came back they were covered in blood. Damian picked them up, reattached them, and licked the blood of. Memories of everything Umeko's assailant had running through his mind was now in Damian's head. "Okay now to fix you." Damian said, first putting his cape back on. He knelt down next to Umeko and tapped where she'd been shot. He drew a symbol in her blood, and tapper it again. After a bit the blood soaked back into her and the wound healed. "You okay Kunoichi?"

Umeko Umeko had hit the ground when she had been shot, but when he helped her, to say she was surprised was an understatement. She then looked at where her wound was before turning her head away from him, "Why did you do that? You could have let me die and moved on with the mission by yourself..." She pushed herself back up, "I wouldn't have saved you if it had been you that had been hit, your life means nothing to me, so why did you do that?"

"Do I have to have a reason for saving your life? I felt it was the right thing to do so I did it." Damian said, feeling a little annoyed. He was hoping that Umeko would have been more grateful, but instead she was trying to be rude still. "If you want I can just shoot you myself then let you die then. It's all up to you really." Damian said, walking away now. He continued down the road, not looking at Umeko at all. He did have a reason for saving her life, a good one, but he felt like keeping it to himself.

Umeko Umeko walked behind him and she placed her hand over the area where she had been shot. She sighed and made her way to walking beside him, "It's just strange that you would even care to save my life. No one would do that for a ninja," she then looked ahead, "No one cares if a ninja dies, it doesn't matter what they do in life, no one cares..." she then sighed, "Perhaps if you had been there, Kaori would have lived that day, since there was no way I could have made it in time..." she looked at him for a moment before looking away, "I'm not really good at this sort of thing. Ninjas are loners. But...I guess I should thank you...for saving my life."

"If you have any part of her dead body anything at all, I know someone who can bring her back and make her like me." Damian said, not sure if that was a good idea or not. It might have made Umeko a more happy person though, and if that would be so he was willing to try it out. "You're welcome too. I know what you mean by no one caring. That's how I was for a while. I was just a shadow in everyone's lives. I got over it, and now I try and help everyone else to not be a shadow." Damian said, smiling down at Umeko.

Umeko Umeko looked down as he spoke, "Unfortunately, being a ninja means that when you die, there are no remnants of the body, that way our enemies will never learn our secrets..." she sighed sadly, "I was the one that had to do it," she then looked at him, "We Ninja are people's shadows, we live in the dark, no one knows us, we have no connections to other people. People may fear us or say they respect us, but I see the same thing in their eyes, loathing, like we are soulless creatures who have no real feelings. We aren't seen as human, we're more like ghosts. When one of us dies, no one even notices...If I were to die on this mission, no one would care about who I was, all they would care about would be what secrets my body holds..." she sighed and looked ahead of them, "I never wanted to be a shadow...I just wanted to be in the light..."

"Then be in the light. If that's truly what you want don't hide in the shadows. If you don't like something, change it." Damian said, taking off one of his gloves. "I'm a living corpse. I didn't like the whole aspects of death, so I did this to myself. I can not die. I changed what I didn't like." Damian said, putting his glove back on and scratching the back of his head. "I'd remember you if you died. I wouldn't just think about the secrets your body holds. I may not have known you for a while, but I now you're a good person just looking for a friend and a reason to live." Damian said, smiling warmly down at Umeko.

Umeko Umeko allowed herself to give him one small smile. She then looked up at him, "You make it sound so easy. I cannot simply stop being a ninja, while I had no desire to be one, I was born with the talent of one, where Kaori had the desire, but no talent. There is no way I can stop being a ninja and if I tried, I would be hunted and killed since I know too much..." she sighed and then she smiled at him again, "I appreciate that...it would be nice to know that I will be remembered and not just for what I am. I don't want to be remembered as the Goddess of Death...I want to be remembered as Umeko Nakamuri..."

"Then why not tell me more about who Umeko Nakamuri is? In return I'll tell you more about who Damian Nosferatu Dark is." Damian said, patting Umeko's shoulder. He'd finally gotten the nice side of her out in the open. It was a good feeling to have made someone feel happy, especially when it was someone like Umeko.

Umeko Umeko thought for a moment on what to say. She then decided to just start at the beginning, "I was born in a Ninja village in the East, shortly after Kaori was born, our parents were killed during a mission. Ever since then I was taking care of Kaori. We did Ninja training and I was immediately enlisted as one where Kaori was still working hard. I never wanted to be a Ninja, but I did it for Kaori, so I could teach her and she would get better. I guess after she was killed, I lost it. I had no one...and it was then I realized what I had done to myself. I was stuck as a ninja, I couldn't be anything else. To be honest...I wanted to wander around this country, explore and then settle down with a husband and have a few kids," she then laughed sadly, "I longed for just a normal life, to write scrolls, paint paintings, maybe even learn to play an instrument..." she then looked at him, "Even if I could get away from this...I've seen too much to ever want to be normal..." she pulled the hair that covered her eye back and showed him her scar, "When I had found Kaori that day, I felt like my whole world was crushing in around me. I hunted down the samurai, but could only find one. I was hot-headed and rushed in. The samurai sliced my eye, I can't see a damn thing out of it..." she then lowered her hair, "I killed him afterward...and with every kill I have made, I've been feeling more numb to the regret I know I should feel. Like earlier, I felt nothing when I killed my own kind..."

"That's not necessarily a good thing now is it?" Damian said, now thinking about himself. "Well when I was little, I wanted nothing more than to become a great swordsman well known for my skill. I got what I wanted, but not for the reason I had hoped. I'd become a killer, known by many as the Vampire Samurai Nosferatu." Damian said. His head hung low, seeing all the faces of the men he killed out of shear blood lust. "I almost died in a war one day, and then became a living corpse after that. I didn't want to die so I made it to where I couldn't. I can't remember much else about myself though, I tried to forget everything." Damian said, shrugging a bit.

Umeko Umeko nodded listening to him, "Looks like we both became a prisoner to our professions. I remember all of the kills I committed...at first, I thought it would be impossible for me to kill, but now it seems so easy..." she then sighed looking up at him, "I have an ability...that practically sealed my fate since I was born...it is part of the reason they called me the Goddess of Death...I can kill someone just by kissing them...My kiss can suck out a person's life energy. So even if I wanted to settle down...to kiss my husband would be to kill him..."
