Event Disappearance Kurenai

A fight between Kurenai and her sister Felicia

The **Disappearance of Kurenai**, was the result of Fuuma clan members sabotaging a mission of Kurenai. She was captured but escaped after weeks of struggles. The government now questioned her own Fuuma clan's loyalty and her half-vampire origin. As a result, just days after her return, Kurenai and her assistant Ayame both disappeared into the night again.

An event relevant for the old canon and game Taimanin Kurenai. Playing out before Taimanin Asagi, around a time when the Fuuma clan was still leading the Taimanin and not the Igawa clan. It could have been the inciting incident, which lead to the Fuuma Revolt in the TABA timeline.

## Event Timeline

### Pre Event

Shinganji Kaede is kidnapped by Vampire King, Edwin Black. Kaeda's father and one of the clan chiefs of the Fuuma, Shinganji Gen-an tried to rescue her but is hurt badly and can only rescue a daughter she gave birth to during her capture. Kurenai grows up under her grandfathers teachings, and believes strongly in his ideals of justice to save her mother one day.

A failed important mission of the Fuuma clan results in members shifting all blame to, Makishima Ayame. With no full agreement of all the Fuuma clan chiefs, they enact an ongoing torturous punishment, as a prolonged execution of Ayame. Kurenai rushes to save Ayame, viewing the act as unjust. Arriving at a horrible scene, Kurenai's anger boils over, and she transforms into her half-demon vampire form and kills all the torturers using her half vampire powers.

Distrust towards Kurenai grows, and Gen-an pulls back from the Fuuma clan, still too injured to fight. Around a year before Taimanin Kurenai, where the Fuuma clan was still leading the Taimanin and not the Igawa clan. Gen-an died, but the clan did not recognize Kurenai as heir. Still viewing her as an "Allie-killer" for cutting down criminal members within and "heretic" for her half vampire origin as a Edwin Black's daughter. Kurenai still became the contact to the Japanese government (Section Three) but did not become leader of the Fuuma clan, leaving their stability and representative status questioned.

* In RPGX and AT, the revolt of Fuuma Danjo occurred earlier, with Kurenai's grandfather opposing a conflict with Gosha. Ayame still was saved by Kurenai from false retribution.

### Event

After the failing of a capture mission of Tendo Kazuma of the House of Greed, more pressure came Kurenai's way to succeed next time. A former Taimanin and Fuuma clan member that now worked for Section Three, as Kurenai's superior, Reiichiro Tomari, exploited the situation. The disgruntled and criminal Tomari a lower ranking former member of the Fuuma clan, used his connect to the group "House of Greed", to capture Kurenai and her partner Ayame and make them into slaves. While making sure no rescue would come and taking part in the "training". However, in the end the brainwashing failed and Tomari and Kazuma both died, also indirectly by the workings of Edwin Black. As the goal of the mission was to capture Kazuma, this mission was also deemed a failure.

This would not go without consequences, as Kurenai's vampire status now was known to the government and Ayame needed to be transformed into a vampire as well to save her life. The government now confronted with their representatives turned vampire and one other Fuuma clan member working with the enemy, removed the protection status for Kurenai and Ayame. They would not appear to a follow-up hearing, pursuing Edwin Black on their own, and since then were never seen.

* In the RPGX and AT timeline, with the defeat of Danjo, the Shinganji clan sub-clan was allowed to remain but feeling responsible left either way. Not much longer after Kurenai's grandfather Shinganji Gen-an, died. Kurenai and Ayame, as well as a number of Shinganji clan members, became part of a Rogue Taimanin cell in Senzaki.

### Post Event

With no leadership and a lot of criminal activities revealed, the Fuuma clan fell from grace. An Elder of the Igawa clan used that chance and recommended the Igawa clan, to Section Three and Yamamoto Nobushige. Introducing Igawa Asagi just as a preview, even if her father Igawa Shuzen was still more experienced.

The Igawa clan became the leaders of the Taimanin but pressingly\* this resulted in the Fuuma Revolt, in which the Fuuma clan tried to take back control. Kurenai, became a Rogue Taimanin but is only seen in TABA and not the normal timeline.

* In the RPGX and AT timeline, Kurenai cooperates with Igawa Asagi in secret, but still acts out of Senzaki. She could be considered no longer missing, in those timelines.

## Trivia

* Both Taimanin RPGX and Action Taimanin, have only a light version of this event. A changed order that still leads to the Fuuma Revolt but Shinganji Gen-an removes himself from the clan, as a result, and dies naturally. Kurenai and Ayame, are much younger and also, take a part of the Shinganji clan with them to Senzaki city, outside Gosha Village. They "disappeared" but still worked with either the Taimanin Task Force or Independent Rangers.
* TABA in which those events are canon reveals that around the time of it Kurenai and Ayame are still active Taimanin but work undercover.
