Raven

Chapter one

Raven awoke. She got up and made her bed. She then put on her favorite kimono and sat down at her miror to brush her hair. As she brushed, she began to sing.
"I don't want any friends... I don't even need myself... Footsteps I leave behind... washed away..."
A man came up behind her and held her. "Pretty meloncholy song for a birthday." he said softly in her ear.
"Pretty meloncholy day." she replied. "Good morning, papa Miroku."
"Good morning to you, Kuronue, my Raven. How are you this morning?"
"16."
Miroku giggled. "Breakast is almost ready. I'll let you finish getting ready now." and he left the room.

Raven went to school at the local high school. She had a best friend named Beth. They also hung out with a large group of girls at school. Raven did not really like them all that much. She felt like an outsider among them.
'Oh well. At least SOMEBODY will wish me a happy birthday at school today.'

She snuck up on the group. She did not really mean to spy, but she heard them talking from around the corner and froze.
"What's up with that Raven chick, anyways?"
"I think she's a demon. Look at those EARS!!"
"Why do you hang out with her, Bethie?"
"I don't. She follows me around."
"So tell her off! Let her know she's not wanted!"
"You now what? I will. Next time I see her. In fact, if she were here right now,I'd give her a piece of my mind.I'd say..."
they rounded the corner and say Raven. The former best friends'seyes met. Ravens were full of tears.
"I'd say...."
"you'd say 'Happy Birthday, ray-nay." finished Raven. She turned on her heel and walked away, forcing herslef to act calm.
"Raven! Kuronue! RAVEN!"
