Application for Karasu from Yuu Yuu Hakusho

[necrobird]

A man dressed in a long black coat and pants stood in front of the desk. A gray mask, much like a surgical mask, covered half of his face so only his violet eyes were visible. He swayed on his feet and pressed his palm against his forehead with a grunt. His eyes flicked back and forth erratically as he filed through recent and painful memories. A

"So you are come?" Kusuriyuri said, his voice harsh. He had noticed the new youkai. It was too easy to notice them. The name was enough to confirm his identity.

[necrobird]

Karasu turned to look at Kusuriyuri, his eyes trailing slowly up his body. He rested his gaze on the man's face; he was beautiful. "Did someone tell you about me?" Three guesses to who that 'someone' was and the first two don't count.

[edomedpeddler]

"Someone, yes. Someone you are not to involve yourself with." Kusuriyuri frowned. "Why are you come?"

[necrobird]

"Mmm," Karasu licked his lips. "How do you...know him?" he asked. Karasu wasn't a fool; he could sense Kurama's energy on Kusuriyuri. He just wanted to hear the man say it so he could justify his desire to violate him.

[edomedpeddler]

"He is mine," Kusuriyuri said unequivocally. "And, he will remain mine."

[necrobird]

"Oh possessive, aren't we?" He chuckled but didn't move any closer. Karasu knew better than to test this man's power right now. "But that is why he's so alluring isn't it? Nobody can own him..." and that's why he has to kill him. If he doesn't somebody else will. Karasu can't allow somebody else to tame him with death, they'll butcher it.

"He chooses whom he will be possessed by. He chose me. You will not touch him." Kusuriyuri brought the wards he had that were generically for youkai. They would need to be refined to be fully effective, but for now, they would work. He held them between his fingers, keeping his hand by his side.

[necrobird]

"Mmm, well," Karasu purred, glancing at the wards in anticipation. "Touching him is just a perk." Karasu lifted his hand slowly and youki encircled it, sparks flying about his fingertips. Without warning second sharp energy, it's arrival overshadowed by the attack forming in Karasu's palm, gathered behind Kusuriyuri and detonated at his lower back.

[edomedpeddler]

As he stumbled, Kusuriyuri brought his hands up and flung the wards at Karasu, willing them to surround the demon in parallel circles. "Bastard," he growled out, regaining his footing. "You will not approach him. You will not harm anyone."

[necrobird]

Karasu watched the wards with idle curiosity as they formed a sort of cage around him. As much as he loved eliciting such a hateful response from Kurama's lover, these required attention. He was only slightly familiar with this kind of attack.

"Hmm...what are these?" he asked, touching a slender finger against one of the wards. Karasu expected a nasty result.

[edomedpeddler]

Kusuriyuri regained his composure and stood again before Karasu. "Those, sadly, are only wards against. I will have wards for you soon." And, he would ensure they would elicit the maximum amount of pain that he could.

[necrobird]

Karasu withdrew his finger from the ward. The demon's eyes tracked Kusuriyuri's movements like a hungry wolf. "I'm flattered you plan to craft weapons against me. How touching," he mocked before detonating one of his bombs against a ward, just to see what would happen. Karasu wondered if there was a way around these pesky things. He was just itching to get his fingers on that lovely throat a few feet in front of him.

[edomedpeddler]

"Not against you, for those I will protect," Kusuriyuri corrected, his eyes intent on his wards, making sure they held. He knew Karasu's test was just that, a prodding. The wards would need to be much stronger to hold up against a serious attack.

[necrobird]

"Mmm," Karasu hummed as he licked his lips. "Putting yourself in danger to 'protect' your loved ones. How delightfully naive," Karasu mocked. Youki started to build up around him, sparking in the air. "Don't you understand? You only prolong their suffering by allowing them to live," he laughed cruelly and the energy condensed on the wards around him. With a flick of his hand a huge explosion, the simultaneous detonation of countless bombs, erupted around the demon. Karasu disappeared in the flash of light and smoke. There was no way he completely escaped the damage but the wards suffered the main force of the attack.
