Buried But Not Forgotten

Prologue

 

 

 

The world is but a blur- shapes without meaning and colors unseen. Sharp, calculated movements bring a predator that much closer to its prey. Nothing exists but that second heartbeat; rapid and erratic as their movements. Dancers would envy such determination, for it is a ballet of death: graceful, swift, fatal. The predator gains, the chase nearly ending, when its prize makes a desperate move.

 

 

Clink

 

 

The dragonfly lay crippled by the window, its shattered wings reflecting the early morning light in broken rays. The metallic-blue insect spasms as the hunter lights upon the sill. Moments pass as the small body twitches, losing all brain functions. Inching closer to the fallen meal, the predator claims his prize with haughty pride.

Kurama awoke to the sound of something hitting his window. He sat up, propping himself with an arm, and turned toward the noise. Staring at him through the glass was a dark figure with glowering eyes. A crow, to be exact.

 

 

“Go away”

 

 

Needless to say, the redhead was less than pleased to be greeted by such a creature, first thing in the morning. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he rose from the bed and shuffled tiredly to his closet. After pulling out a fresh school uniform for the day, he started making his way to the bathroom when he felt the distinct burn of another's gaze. He turned toward the window.

 

 

“Kar…” The small black head cocked to the side, as if curious.

 

 

“No peep show for you...perverted crow. Now shoo!”

 

 

Kurama tapped on the glass as the crow watched with interest. Finally growing bored, or simply wanting to humor the young man, the bird took off without so much as a parting call.

 

 

It is said that the Gods send messengers to their people- creatures who carry the prophecies of the world upon their wing.

An omen of things to come...?

Notes: This will not be a Karasu-rapes-Kurama fic, this I promise you. This will, however, evolve into a dark-fic. There may be mention or light flashbacks to rape in later chapters, but they will be objective and very short; hence, flashbacks. There will also be a warning at the beginning of the chapter if I decide to include that particular flavor of content.

 

 

The first chapter will be light and possibly on the slow side, setting everything up at a comfortable pace. Please review- I hope you enjoy the story.
