Fear-Karasu & Kurama
"He's dead," he whispered to his reflection, eyes focused on white lips, his own eyes, bloodshot from insomnia, "There's nothing to be afraid of, you fool. You killed him..."
"Are you sure about that, fox?" a voice whispered, heavy with laughter, "I never kept my promise to you after all..."
The vines in the room extended up the walls, twisting with the fear of their master. Kurama looked around, looking for the source of the voice which was certainly not in his own mind...
He met the black eyes of a raven, resting comfortably on his windowsill. Ominous.
"Nevermore," Kurama whispered, eyes wide, unblinking.
Slowly, he left his bedroom, closing the door quietly behind him. "Nevermore," he repeated, taking the stairs slowly, tracing the wall with trembling fingertips.
"See you later, pretty fox."
The raven fled.
