Francis and Tora silently watched the battle from above in the trees. They had transformed back into humans, Francis was showing his three eyes, while Tora showed her tangled black stripes across various parts of her body.
All of a sudden Suki had jumped between Kyuubi and Hachimata. Francis carefully studied Kyuubi's reaction. He had none. He kept staring Hatchimata in the eyes, as so did Hatchimata.
Tora jumped down, behind Kyuubi. "Kyuubi? Is it really you?"
Francis jumped down too, keeping his distance.
"Tora...why are you alive?" spat Hatchimata, still keeping his gaze on Kyuubi.
"D. Kyuubi might be able to kill Nekomata...But I could never die so easily." she prompted.
Francis took a step closer to the group. "I could kill you right now if I wanted to Tora."
"Francisssss..." Hatchimata murmured, "Ugh..."
Hatchimata was in sudden pain. Memories filled his mind, he started to scream again, "I'm not Hatchimata!" over and over.
"Yes you are." Kyuubi said, he repeated a few more times, never moving a muscle.
Suki, slowly turned around, daring to look back at Kyuubi. But instead of meeting Kyuubi's gaze, she met Francis's.
Her eyes met Francis's third eye. Time stopped. All of a sudden, Suki was in sharp pain. She couldn't scream as if she stopped breathing, and she fell to the ground. Immediately, Kyuubi caught her swiftly, he could feel her burning up.
Kyuubi kept his locked with Hatchimata's the whole time though.
Soon after, Francis was in sudden pain. "Urgh!" He grunted as he fell to his knees, clutching his heart. He was using to much chakra, he could die soon if Nozomi and Ronin didn't come back...
