Wow… so many people answered my question as to what Kuronue was… I just had to hurry up and type this story! Please enjoy!
~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}~}
Power… such a beautiful power… calling to all the demons of the land. Yet there were traps set up to keep the many weak creatures out. The guardian of this power wished for a challenge, not something so simple that it would vanish in the flick of a wrist. Unfortunately for the guardian, two of those such creatures would reach it at the same time.
~some random village~
"Hey Miryo? Do you hear that call too?" A young crow demon asked her friend. The crow was 6 feet, jet-black hair to mid-back, and shockingly blue eyes. Her friend was 5'11", hazel eyes, and also had black hair, cropped short. Furry black triangles poked out of Miryo's hair, informing anyone with a brain she was a kitsune.
"Kagome…? Are you sure you're hearing a call?" The crow stretched onto her tiptoes, fingers brushing the ceiling with black wings spread out for balance. "Yeah… it's like the story of the Sirens… once you hear the call, you have to find the source of it or just turn into a loony." The two girls laughed at this. However, there was a distracted look in their eyes…
~yet again, a random village~
"Kuronue! You're going to ruin the floor!" Dark brown eyes glared at a silver haired, golden-eyed kitsune. "Yoko, you can't honestly tell me you don't feel the call too…" Sighing, Yoko tapped the talisman on Kuronue's chest. "I thought this thing shielded you from all magical influences." "It does, but this is way too strong for even my pendant. What do you say we go hunt down the source of it?"
Yoko stretched, his 6 and a half feet nearly causing him to smack his head against the ceiling. "You outta be more careful, fox. Your height'll be the death of you." Kuronue teased his partner-in-crime. "Well, at least I have some height, shorty." Yoko bit back. Kuronue was still quite tall at 6 feet 4 inches. Changing the subject, Kuronue asked Yoko, "Shouldn't we get going if we want to beat all the lesser yokai to the prize?" "As if they had any chance of beating us from the start…" Yoko sneered.
~A large bush maze chock full of traps~
"Miryo, you better stay here… don't want you getting killed in there." Kagome begged her friend to stay away from the prize at the heart of the maze. "Don't tell me you're just gonna fly over it until you find the source…" "Now where would the fun be in that? I sense plenty of lower-class demons in there… it's gonna be a interesting trip." Kagome grinned animalistically before charging headfirst into the maze. Soon, the death cries of many demons could be heard, followed by some muttering of it being too easy.
"Okay Yoko, you ARE staying outside of the maze, whether you like it or not." Miryo's head snapped up, wondering who was coming. She spotted two male demons, kitsune and raven by their scents, walking towards them. The kitsune's hair was silvery, down past his back, while his white clothes accented his golden eyes that were currently flashing with anger. The raven that was walking next to him had a tattered top hat (missing it's top ^_^;…) on his head, with blue-black hair in a high ponytail coming out of the hat. (I'll get a link in my profile somewhere for people who want to see him.) His dark brown, nearly black eyes were narrowed at the kitsune who Miryo had determined was Yoko. The group still hadn't noticed her. Sitting there patiently, she tapped her foot. "Yoko, stay here with this young lady," Kuronue winked at Miryo, "and wait for me to come out. And yes, I WILL be coming back, for your information."

Yay! First chapter of the new story up!!!!! A HUUUUGE thanks to Konada Mikari who told me what Kuronue meant. I was just gonna go with bat demon, but.. ya'll know the outcome! I think I might actually attempt to do review responses for each chapter… it's gonna be interesting. And this is the longest first chapter I've ever written, I think… it's gonna take me a while to type out the next chapter for any of my stories, cause my parents went crazy over my report card… Until Next Time!
