Prologue

They rushed out of the palace, the guardian eyes turned red, demons ran out trying to catch the thieves. Kurama paused a moment to let Kuronue catch up. He flashed the golden mirror to Kuronue, Kuronue smiled and caught up. They took off through the bamboo forest, Kurama slightly ahead of Kuronue. Kuronue's pendant suddenly broke. Kuronue who was now leading leapt using a bamboo pole to where his pendant had dropped. "Don't, Kuronue!" yelled Kurama stopping. "I need it!" he called back. As Kuronue grasped his pendant a shower of bamboo poles flew into the air. He started to turn when they landed one struck his ankle stopping him from running, his warm red blood spilled over the bamboo pole. "Forget about me Kurama! Go ruuun," yelled Kuronue. Kurama then took off with the mirror, though he would regret his decision, probably forever.
