Chapter 5
Karasu flew over to Red, clacking his beak in an irritated manner.
"How come Rezu wasn't turned into a crow?" He asked.
"As long as you have something covering your skin you'll be fine, you have any effects." Red bit her lip thoughtfully.
"How did I become a crow then, I didn't touch it." Karasu cawed.
"Well, some people know how to use the stone to their own advantage." Red picked Hiei and Karasu up and went into the kitchen, "Rezu is trying to lure me out."
"Is there anyway to get it back?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, but it will be very dangerous." Red sighed.
"How?" Hiei asked a bit of excitement in his voice.
"He father shoots crows. So we have to make it to were there are too many crows." Red opened a window and began to caw out for help.
"Like attack of the birds?" Karasu asked.
"Yes." Red nodded. After a few minutes trees were filled with hundreds of crows, she went outside, "Listen, something terrible has happened! And I need your help."
"What is it?"
"We'll help you no matter what!"
"The hunter's daughter has the stone that turns human to crows. And she is using it on my friends." Red said, "I need your help to get myself and my friends into their house."
"Right, an all out airily ambush attack!" My of the crows enjoyed the thought.
"But some or many of you may lose their lives to the hunter!" Red yelled, the chatter didn't die down.
"And if we win may we take the life of the hunter who has slain many of our own?" A female crow cawed.
"His fate shall be yours to decide." Red said. Karasu and Hiei watched as the crows began to hop around and chant 'Kill the hunter!'
"You really know how to work up a crowd." Karasu said.
"Yes, well it's nothing really, those crows have wanted revenge since I can remember." Red looked up, "We will go now!"
"Kill! Revenge for those the hunter has slain!"
"Come on boys." Red tucked Hiei and Karasu in her coat. Red made her way to Rezu's house, the hunter was standing in his yard watching the woods when Red came out.
"Well, if it isn't the bird woman." He gripped his rifle, suddenly the sky behind the Red became dark, and the caws of hundreds of crows met his ears, "What in the hell?" He shot a few times, but the birds began to drop from the sky like rain. Red had snuck passed him into the house, her instincts led her to Rezu's room. Rezu had candles lit and the stone in the middle of a small bowl.
"Red!" She said, shocked to see Red in her home, "It's so nice to see you."
"Save it! I'm here for the stone!" Red demanded. Rezu swung out the same knife as she had before.
"You aren't getting it! Because you'll go back to someone else! I'm the only one you should love." She ran at Red who moved to the side, but realized a little too late it wasn't her she was trying to hit. Karasu gave a pain fill caw, Red quickly removed Karasu from her jacket. A big streak off blood ran across his back. Rezu shoved Red causing Karasu to fall from her hands, he hit the ground with a painful thud. Hiei flew out of her jacket and began to peck Rezu's face, she smacked him and he landed in the bowl with the stone. Red tried to get her crows but she decided to lead Rezu away from them. She ran outside where all the crows were attacking the hunter. Rezu came out.
"Help!" He shouted.
"Daddy!" Rezu said, "Red this is all your fault!" She charged at Red. Suddenly Hiei came running outside along with the hurt Karasu.
"Red we have the stone!" Hiei shouted over the noise, he had the stone in it's bowl.
"No, you don't!" Rezu, who was still wearing gloves grabbed the stone out of the bowl and threw it. "Catch Red!"
"Wha?" The stone collided with Red's stomach, her hands clasped the stone. The commotion got worse. Red was no longer there.
"Daddy! That crow shoot it!" Rezu yelled, pointing to a crow that was trying to fly up. The hunter aimed quickly and pulled the trigger, the crow gave a half hearted caw and hit the ground. The hunter collapsed on the ground, "Daddy! Daddy!"
"Time to deal with you." Karasu said, he ran his hand on her shoulder. There was an explosion, when the smoke cleared Rezu was gone. The crows landed on the roof.
"Where's Red?" Hiei asked, the stone was on the ground, he picked it up in his jacket. He looked up a little more, there was the crow Rezu had told the hunter to kill. It was breathing heavily. He walked over, blood was coming from its beak, but there was something that caught him the most, the blood red eyes. "Karasu!"
"What?" Karasu was there now, he looked down, "Oh no, Red!"
