The Crow: Owarimasu
Chapter 3





Emi’s apartment was two blocks over from where Murai’s body lay in his very own apartment. Haruko wandered the streets, carrying Murai’s pistol, and still dressed in his stained cargo pants and long sleeved t-shirt. The crow landed on Haruko’s shoulder with an assortment of keys on a key chain in his mouth.
“What am I going to do with these?” Haruko said, as he took the keys
“We are taking Murai’s car,” the black bird said.
“Since when did you become the boss?” Haruko asked.
“I am your eyes, your guidance,” the crow stressed.
“No, you are a fucking bird. Why the hell are you helping me?” Haruko screamed, in his Japanese language.
“It is my purpose, and duty to make sure that the wrong will be made right. That won’t happen, if you continue not to trust me. You are invincible as of now, but if you abuse your powers, you will lose them. I have witnessed this many times,” the crow said, nearly begging Haruko to trust her.
“We will just have to see what Emi says,” Haruko said.

The crow landed on the windowsill of an apartment room, where the candlelight embraced the surroundings. A girl sat on her knees, praying in her flower colored kimono. Her hair was tied into a bun, and the candles shined brightly upon her hazel brown eyes. The crow startled her, and she turned to see the intruder, wrapping at her chamber door.
“Haruko?” she whispered. “No, it couldn’t be.”
“It can be,” Haruko said, standing in front of her closet.
“Haruko!” Emi screamed, and tears rolled down her cheeks immediately. She ran into his arms, and began kissing him repeatedly.
“I knew you would come back,” Emi said. Haruko kissed her forehead as she rested her head on his chest, and he stared at his guide, the crow.
“So the myth was true,” Emi said, her voice breaking like glass.
“You were right, here I am in the flesh,” Haruko said, and Emi sat down on the floor next to her pallet, her knees to her chest. She stared up at what had become of her lover.
“We were supposed to get married and have children. Who did this to you?” Emi said, with her tears running like two ongoing waterfalls.
“It was…..” Haruko said, embarrassed to tell her that his own flesh and blood killed him.
“Yes?” she reached up, and pulled him down to her. He lay at her side, and she looked into his eyes. “Tell me who did this to you.”
“I can’t tell you, I don’t want to endanger your life,” he said.
“I have nothing to live for anymore, once you are done, you have to go back,” Emi said, clinging to him.
“I just can’t imagine you in a coffin,” Haruko said.
“I want revenge,” Emi said.
“I will get it for you. I promise we will meet again,” Haruko said, as he laid his lips upon hers. Emi wanted to say something back, but the kiss had her distracted. She allowed him to embrace her petite body, as she tried to remove his shirt. A gust of wind came through the open window, and the candles went out while Haruko and Emi became one, once more.

Aki, the man that was to murder Kimmie, entered Haruhiko’s office at Izumi corp. His black dress shoes rubbed against the smooth blood red carpet below as he walked to Haruhiko’s desk, dressed in an Armani suit.
“You called me in, sir?” Aki asked. His medium length black hair covered one side of his face, and the light highlighted the front, showing some brown.
“Yes, I did,” Haruhiko said.
“What is my job?” Aki said.
“You have to finish Kimmie off, she is in the hospital recovering,” Haruhiko said, while writing.
“When will I do the job?” Aki asked.
“Tomorrow night, you came earlier than expected. After you are done with her, I want you to start working for us full time. I want you to take my younger son’s place, and become apart of the family,” Haruhiko persuaded.
“I’ll consider it, I’m not good with family,” Aki said.
“That’s good, we need a businessman,” Haruhiko said, as he passed him a yellow envelope.
“How much do I get for this job?” Aki asked, grabbing the envelope.
“Eight million yen,” Haruhiko answered.
“Consider the job done,” Aki said, and got up. “Farewell, Mr. Izumi.”

Emi’s eyes were glazed after intertwining with her lover, Haruko. She lied on top of Haruko, who stared up at the ceiling in pure bliss. She looked up at him, staring at him with her soft hazel eyes, and she embraced him tightly.
“I don’t want you to go, Haruko,” Emi said.
“There is nothing I can do, I must follow the crow,” Haruko said.
“I won’t let you,” Emi said, squeezing tighter, her head lying on his bare chest. He kissed her forehead, and got her to release him.
“I have to, Emi. I’m sorry, but I cannot let the ones who did this to me, do the same thing to someone else,” Haruko said, as he got up from the pallet, and grabbed his clothes.
“Haruko wait, I have to give you one last thing before you go,” Emi said, beginning to cry again.
“What is that?” He asked, wiping the first tear that rolled from her eye.
“Sit down,” She said. Haruko sat at Emi’s dresser, as she pulled out a small box. She stood behind him, and tilted his head back. First the rubbed the white face paint all over his face, making him look like a clown.
“What are you doing,” Haruko asked.
“This will help protect your powers,” Emi said, and she pulled out some jet black lipstick. She painted his lips jet black, and finally she drew a design around each eye, with some black face paint.
“Now, your powers will be protected, as long as you don’t abuse them,” She said, watching him get up.
“Thank you, Emi. I love you,” Haruko said.
“I love you too,” She said, but when she blinked he was already gone...
