Karasu and Riku stood back to back, ready to face the Banshee. It screeched and crows flew off into the darkened sky. "Riku... How is it you even know this thing?" Karasu asked curiously. Riku sighed. "It was when I was younger. That thing is the reason why I'm blind in my left eye."
Karasu gasped softly and glanced at the Banshee's claws. So that's why...
The Banshee chuckled. "Well, fresh meat.... And meat that's so desirable! How long has it been since slashed that delicate eye to ribbons....? Your blood is so delicious, human... HAHA!" it cackled maniacally.
Karasu ran forward and muttered a hex spell onto it. It screamed in pain, but he knew it was not enough to destroy the Banshee.
Riku loaded her .44 semi-automatics and began to take aim with her right eye. "This is for taking my eye, b***h," she cursed and shot at point-blank range. The Banshee began to screech at a higher frequency as it shivered to keep its balance. "NOOOO!!! Princess Tsukino will kill you!!! She will finish what I started long ago!!!" And as it screeched out its last words, Riku took three of her switchblades and threw it into the Banshee's heart. It fizzled out into dust.
Karasu landed on his feet. He stared at Riku. Riku picked up her weapons and bullets and noticed his staring.
"What?" she finally asked. Karasu closed his eyes and chuckled. "I just never knew that even you, a human, could have an interface with something of the Magick at such a young age. It astounds me."
"What was that, Karasu?!?!?!?" He laughed and ruffled her hair. "I can see why Saishi wants you. And now I know who it is I want..." he said as he held a strand of her hair.
Riku blushed and closed her eyes. Do you, Karasu? I have realized I love Saishi-kun... And you are still in love with Ai-chan, are you not?
The Red Moon was growing with intensity....
