Author's note: Oh my God! Another non "R" story! This one is another random. I quite a few characters in this one, but mainly the girl, Red. Enjoy.
Chapter One
Karasu clutched a dark blue stone that had given him his life back, he would look at it and laugh. Not only had it given his life back but it also gave him great power, the power he need to get Kurama. He had gotten the stone by a freak accident, another demon had brought it in with him when he died and he handed it over to Karasu with no hassle. Karasu was now in the human world, he was going to hunt Kurama down like the fox he was. After all that walking his body began to get tired, which he did not understand why, but he couldn't fight it so he found a tree to sleep in. After dreaming of black feathers everywhere and the cawing of crows he was awoken by a sharp pain in his chest and he hit the ground.
"Haa haa! I got that stupid bird!" He heard a boy say, he opened his eyes, they was three grade school boys standing in front of him.
"Get away you little assholes!" He yelled.
"Caw caw caw is all we hear crow." The biggest of the three boys said. Karasu tried to get up, but he realized he couldn't, he looked at his hands. They weren't even hands, they were feathery wings, he looked down, he was already standing up, on clawed bird feet! He crossed his eyes and saw he had a sharp black beak. He was a crow!
"That crow has purple colored eyes." A boy said.
"Look at that stone." One of the boys went over beside the tree he was sleeping in and picked his stone up off the ground.
"It looks valuable, let's go see if we can sell it." Another one said.
"Okay, but first gimme a big rock to sling at the crow, maybe I can break its neck." The biggest one said, one of them brought him a rock about the size a small apple, "This'll work." He threw the rock at Karasu, who tried to run, but he just fell forward. Bird instinct kicked in and he flew straight up into a tree.
"Damn, missed him. Let's go try to sell that rock." The boy said, they left with Karasu's stone.
"No, all my power." He said, "Now, on to the matters at hand, how did I end up a crow?" He stopped and began to think, but he couldn't come up with an answer.
"Hi." He heard someone say, there was a fury of feathers as six crows landed next to him.
"Hi, you can understand me?" He asked.
"Well, duh, we're crows too." One of them said.
"Could you guys help me? I was just a demon a few hours ago and now I'm a crow." He looked at himself.
"Um, no. But we do know someone that can help you." One of the younger crows said.
"Okay, take me to them." He watched as the six started to fly, he launched himself out of the tree and began to flap his wings, he hit the ground with a soft thud. The crows flew down.
"Tuck your legs under yourself when you take off." They showed him a few times until he got the hang of it. Karasu sighed, the view he had while flying was breath taking. After a few minutes of flying he wanted to rest, he began to make a nose dive toward the ground to stop, "No, no, can't stop now, we're almost there!" He pulled back up and was flying kind of sluggish. The took him deep into a forest.
"Are we almost there yet?" He asked.
"Yep, here we go." All the crows took a nose dive, he followed them into a thick tree, they had stopped but he ran into a closed window. He was now outside of a huge tree house, more like a tree mansion, "This is the place, the woman inside will help you."
"Can she understand me?" He asked, they nodded, he pecked at the window.
"Hold on, hold on I'm coming." A young girl with hair as black as the crows and eyes the color of fresh spilled blood opened the window, "Hello, what's your name?"
"Hello." He paused a second, taken back by the demonic color of her eyes, they he continued. "MynameisKarasu, IgotturnedintoacrowandIdon't-" He said so quickly that she closed his beak.
"Slowly." She said.
"Okay, my name is Karasu and I got turned into a crow and I don't know how." He said.
"My name is Red Eye, call me Red. Now, let's see here, you didn't do anything to someone that would make them but a curse on you did you?" She asked.
"No, everyone thinks I'm dead."
"Okay, have you eaten anything enchanted lately?"
"No."
"How about a blue stone, did you ever touch a dark blue stone?"
"Yes, I did, that's what gave me my life back." He said.
"Damn, the only one left and it still manages to get someone." She picked him up and brought him into her house, setting him on top of a table.
"What was that stone?" He asked.
"It's a cursed stone that gives it's holder tremendous power, but only for a short period of time. Then the holder gets sleepy, goes to sleep, and wakes up as a crow." She sat down.
"Okay, but how do you know this?" He hopped over to the edge.
"Easy, it has the total opposite effects on crows, it turns them into demons. Just look at me." She said.
"Is that how you can talk to crows?" He asked.
"Yes, where was the stone the last time you saw it?"
"Some boys had taken it and were going to sell it."
"I'm going to go see if I can find it then." She got up, "I don't want you to leave this house."
"Why not?"
Because, there's a man that lives right outside this forest and his favorite thing to do is to kill crows. Especially ones with odd colored eyes, I almost fell victim of his sick games." She said, "Remember, I don't want you leaving this house."
"Okay." Karasu sat in a window watching her leave, he felt so defenseless and weak, but he was a crow now and there was nothing he could do about it, yet.
