Okay, before we begin, there are some things I need to clarify. In this story, Karasu's clan talks about two special stones: Kuro-Shin and Sore-Shin. Now, these are Japanese names with a few meanings. Sore-Shin can be translated as That Trust, BUT, it is translated in THIS story as "Red-Heart" and Kuro-Shin is translated as "Black-Heart." You COULD get away with " Red/Black Trust" and "Red/Black Center" But HEART was what I was going for and Shin had the perfect sum of it.
This is a YAOI fic with a Kurama/Karasu pairing. There are made up characters which are for this story alone and this story takes place about a year after Crow in the Darkness. Karasu and Kurama are somewhat out of character every now and again. But, overall, not a bad fic I don't think. I tried my best, so forgive the choppiness.
