This is Kuronue's chapter! . He wrote this all on his own, so let's give him a hand! .

Hello: my name is Kuronue. I am a bat demon, taken from my home at six years old to study for 94 years, and then enter into servitude under a fox demon, or Youko. I have had two; no, one master in my life. One master and one friend. I assume Rena wants me to write about my life with Master, because the chapter's rated R, so here goes.

After I graduated, I was given to a kind-faced Youko who treated me well. I soon warmed up to the idea of servitude, and learned the things that cheered him up after an unsuccessful steal.

Then, he started to touch me. This wasn't your normal handshake kind of thing: this, as I found out MUCH later, was sexual harassment. It started with casual, almost accidental caresses, and graduated to his hands touching my butt and giving me sensual looks. The songs I'd occasionally play got sadder and sadder, and apparently Master noticed this.

"What's wrong, little Kuronue? Are you not happy?" He asked. I shamefacedly looked at the ground. He cupped my chin in one hand and tilted my face up to stare into his eyes. He had one of those looks again, and I got scared suddenly, but didn't know why at the time.

"I can make you happy, little Kuronue. Do you want me to?" I nodded slightly, not knowing what he was going to do. His cocoa brown eyes flashed dangerously, and his lips were on mine before I could blink. He probed my lips with his tongue, pleading entrance. I opened my mouth and his tongue began exploring. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. I just stood there, rigid, and scared out of my pre-pubescent, naïve wits. (100 to a bat demon is like 10 to a human.) My mouth started to close around Master's tongue unconsciously. Master withdrew his tongue from my mouth, and pulled away. He stared at me, scanning my face with his eyes. Suddenly, it clicked with him, and his eyes widened.

"Oh, Inari..." He breathed. "You haven't even...you're not...oh Inari...I'm sorry, little Kuronue." He choked, embracing me tightly. I tried to comfort him, and hugged him back.

"It's alright, Master. Master didn't hurt Kuronue." I said.

"It's not alright, little Kuronue. I almost...oh Inari, I'm so sorry." He sobbed, crying into my shoulder. He pulled away, and held me at arms length.

"Little Kuronue, promise me that if I ever do anything like that again, you'll stop me."

"Yes, Master."

"Promise me, little Kuronue."

"Kuronue promises." I said softly.

"Good." He sighed, brushing some brown hair out of his face, obviously relieved.

Things went back to the way they had been at the beginning, and stayed that way for around 100 years.

But then he started touching me, and giving me sensual looks again.

"Little Kuronue, are you unhappy with me?" He asked out of the blue.

"N-no!" I stammered. "Kuronue is very happy with Master. Master treats Kuronue well." I said. Master's eyes flashed again, and he vanished and appeared behind me, shoving me down and knocking the wind out of me. I felt my pants being pulled down, and felt Master's shaft being rubbed against my butt. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I found out later.

"Hold still, little Kuronue." Master moaned coarsely. Suddenly, out of nowhere I felt Master forcing his way inside me. I screamed as loud as I could, my mind whirling with lots of colors, and the trees around me becoming blurry. Master pulled out, and slammed back in. The pounding got faster, and I was howling and sobbing with pain, choking on my own tears. Suddenly, I felt way too hot liquid, Master's seed, pouring inside me. Master pulled out of me.

"There, little Kuronue." Master whispered coarsely. "That wasn't so bad." I could do nothing for hours but lie there, sobbing. I pulled my pants on painfully, but the seat was soon soaked with blood.

Two weeks later, Master was shot by hunters.

I went back to where it had all begun; the place where my kind are kept in rooms like cattle, and of-age Youkos come and looks at us, before choosing the one they want for a 'pet'. I was in a room this time for about six long months. Nobody would have anything to do with me, because I was twice the age of all the other choices.

One day, the door opened, and the of-age Youko looked around and his eyes fell on me.

"Who is that one?" He asked, pointing toward me.

"Which one?" His guide asked.

"The one that looks like he's got blood on the seat of his pants."

"Oh you don't want that one; he's a return."

"I said who is he!" The Youko said, aggravated.

"He's Kuronue."

"Kuronue!" The Youko, who looked rather unusual with his silver hair and amber eyes, yelled. I meekly found my way to the door.

"Yes?"

"Come with me, Kuronue." He said gently.

"Are you sure that you want him?"

"Yes."

"Kuronue is honored, Master." I said humbly, kneeling in front of the silver-haired Youko.

"Kuronue, stand up." He said impatiently. I stood. He walked out. I followed him. After we got out of anyone's earshot, he grabbed me by the shoulders and made me look at him.

"Kuronue, don't you DARE call me Master." He said firmly.

"What should Kuronue call Master, if not Master?"

"My name is Kurama." He said.

"Kuronue is proud to serve M-Kurama." I said, bowing.

"Kuronue, don't debase yourself. You don't serve me; we're equals. Oh, and also, use personal pronouns; I, me, we, you, etcetera."

"I..."

"That's a start. Come on Kuronue. You lead."

"Where are K-we going?"

"I don't know. Depends on what you want to steal, where you want to go, whatever." He said, putting his fox ears at a relaxed position.

"You mean you're not choosing?"

"Nope. Up to you, Kuronue." Kurama said. I started to walk in any old direction. Kurama followed. I got some confidence, and walked faster. Kurama laughed and picked up the pace.

"So, where are you leading us?" Kurama asked.

"We'll go wherever our hearts take us?" I suggested.

"Meaning you don't know where we're headed."

"Right." I said. Kurama laughed.

"Sounds good to me." He chuckled. "But I bet I can beat you there!" He laughed, taking off running. I laughed and followed him, the pendant my mother had given me when I was young glittering in the sunlight.

Poor Kuronue-san! T.T
