It was hard to tell the wine away from the leaves and wind. Kuronue was used to this by now. The bar that was his home was always like this. The leaves would sweep in from all directions. Almost like they all wanted in. "Hey, you gonna' answer me?" Kuronue was busy looking as passer Byers to pay attention to his partner to the left of him.
"Kuronue!" A swift blow to the head sent Kuronue clenching his fists and glaring at a very sorry Fox Demon.
"Look, sorry Kuro', but really, what do you think about moving to the human world?"
"Why should we? We're perfectly happy here." Kuronue went back to his wine.
"…It's not too bad…being a human isn't all fun but…I don't know…"
"Kurama, you've just been bloody brainwashed by those damn humans, going into that damned human body was the worst thing you've ever done!" Kuronue looked down at his drink and took another sip.
"…There are…a lot of girls in Japan…"
"Go on…."
"And…a lot of street girls…and…bars…" Kurama looked sorrow filled at his drink that he had still not drunk. 'Why can't he come simply because I ask him too…?' Kurama heard Kuronue sigh and watched him play with the rim of his wine glass.
"Okay…so…what would you say about my wings? Kurama, my ears?" Kuronue took another sip of his wine. Kurama smiled.
"That…my friend is no concern. I concocted a remedy; it will cause your wings and ears to disappear for about as long as a human world day."
"Yeah but will people be able to feel them?"
"And yet- another potion, this will make the atoms of your wings and ears spread out-therefore making it from solid-to gas."
"You've thought this out…." Kuronue took a swig of the wine. Kurama looked solemnly at his friend.
"It'd be different, but after 400 years, friend, what can a couple decades on earth mean but little to you?"
"Hm…I'll sleep on it…" Kuronue sluggishly got off his stool. "Yeah…" Kurama sat in his stool still looking hopefully at his friend.
The room looked boring and dull as Kuronue walked in after a bath in his lake.
'Change? Why give…this up?' He wanted to secretly. But human world to him sounded like hell on earth. 'No more robbing…no more demons.' He thought slowly. Kurama slept in the other room, Kuronue listened carefully to Kurama's deep breathing. 'He has changed…now to find out if it's for the best.'
Kuronue leapt into his hammock softly. 'Eh…I'll just sleep on it…Kurama will be gone tomorrow…with or without me.' The red moon shone on his face, softly and sweet. Kuronue was never the changing type. He liked things simple. Things to be in place.
'Something will have to happen.'
