Okay, all. There are a few things I need to say about this fic. I'm making
this interlude an author's note because I don't want those who've already
read chapter one to miss this. There are a few things I need to explain,
and I must give some credit where it is due.
First: Warnings.
My other fics are all rated as R. Very loosely. I prefer to err on the side of caution. This fic is rated R, and it actually deserves the rating. So therefore, this fic contains violence, sexual situations, suggestive dialogue, and perhaps mild swearing.
As far as the sexual situations go . . . Normally I halt the story and do a bit of a fade-out before things get too involved. This is partially because I like the tease of sex without the follow-through and partially because I have little confidence in my lemon writing abilities. This fic is a bit different. There is nothing too explicit, but I don't always halt for the sexual acts in this story. Be assured that all are written tastefully and are necessary to the storyline. Believe me. I tried to write the following chappie without anything in the way of sex. Nothing doing. And it turned out well, if my koi / beta reader is to be believed.
As for Karasu . . . Katsu-chan and Clear Vision are right. He is not a rapist in this story. He is a master of seduction. Granted, he uses his ki to manipulate Youko's emotions a bit, but he has never forced our favorite fox. He merely appeals to the darker side of the kitsune, and makes that dominant. *Shrug* Karasu is my favorite bad guy. He's so delightfully evil, strange as that sounds.
I think that's all for the warnings. I hope.
Now . . . This story was inspired by the song "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence. I don't want to write the lyrics down, so if you want to see them . . . Go to Look under Evanescence. It's song number 3 on the Fallen album.
Keep in mind, some of the lyrics don't fit with the storyline. It will make more sense as the story progresses. This is not a songfic. It was merely inspired by the song. As in, I got the idea while listening to this song.
Okay. Disclaimer time. I don't own the people or the song . . . That's good enough for me.
That's all for the author's note . . . I'll let you get back to the story now . . .
