...
It was bright, too bright, why was it so bright? He could hear voices, lots of them, everywhere, yelling, barking out orders here and there. Everything was flashing before his eyes, he couldn't focus. "Get him to ICU, quickly!" And that was the last thing he heard before he was hauled away into a world of darkness.
…
When he finally awoke there was a strange man with red hair hovering above him. "Ah, Menma nice to see you've awoken." The mysterious man's voice was deep and strangely calming. "Who are you and how do you know my name?!" The dark haired boy asked warily. "I'm Kurama you don't know me, kit, but I know you." He laughed. It was a strange laugh, calm, almost as if he knew something Menma didn't. "Ok, Kurama, please explain to me where I am and how I got here." He had a calm, placid look on his face but on the inside he was freaked out about where he was and how he would escape. This man was creeping him out. Kurama let out a small chuckle. "Well to begin, kit, you and I have bonded, you see, I am a spirit, I've taken on a human form and my only explanation for this is that you are responsible." Alright that's it, this man was a loon. He had to escape somehow. Menma began to scan the area around him, looking for any possible exits, not finding any he gave up on his search and began to listen to Kurama speak once more. "…so, in order to return you must find the Book of Tengu."
"What's Tengu?" This had begun to spark his interest. "Well, kit, the Tengu are a type of legendary creature found in Japan, I happen to be one of the greater ones."
"What are you talking about?"
''Tengu, the ghosts of priests, nuns, ordinary men, and ordinary women, who possessed excessive pride during life, can become Tengu. Not all Tengu are equal, knowledgeable men and women become daitengu, greater Tengu, but ignorant ones become kotengu, small Tengu. Of the greater Tengu are myself, Atago, Hira, and many others, me and Atago being the most famous." Kurama explained it as though it were the simplest thing in the world though to Menma it was all very confusing.
"Okay, so you're telling me you're a demon?" Menma questioned.
"Well, yes, and no." The demon man replied, rubbing the back of his head in nervousness.
Menma resisted the urge to yell, this man-thing- was starting to get on his nerves.
"Okay, whatever, just tell me where I can find this Book of Tengu so I can go home!"
