"That's interesting..I wonder why I was allowed to come here then," Yuu shifted, feeling uncomfortable with his mask off while he was in that form since he was left with a little more exposure. He figured it had to do something with the fact that he wasn't human.

There was a solitary crow flying in the sky after the storm had passed. It cawed several times, glad to finally fly through a sky that wasn't filled with rain. Kaito had been traveling for several days, after the whole incident with his tribe. His tribe, the foxes, and the weasels had fought off the intruder with all their might, but when things looked futile, the foxes and the weasels had ran and left the tribe to get slaughtered in their own home. He, however, was smart enough to know when enough was enough, so he was the only one who took flight away from the massacre, or so he thought.
He sighed, hoping that the assailant would decide to go in the opposite direction and pick on some other tribe, which he was sure had happened before his own tribe was attacked. But perhaps he could find another tribe and try to join up with them. He peered at the building ahead. It was far off from any civilization, so he assumed it was probably a tengu estate and glided to land on the tiles of the rooftop. They were slick with the rain drops remaining on its surface, and he cawed loudly several times in signal to see if any other tengu were around.
------------------
Yuu instinctively cawed out to the location signal that Kaito made, and that made him wonder if there were maybe other tengu that lived in this territory. The crow flew down and landed on the ground, paying attention to where it landed, then it looked up, only to gaze into a familiar face. Yuu yelped, of course recognizing who the crow was and he quickly shifted back into his human form and lowered himself to the ground in a bow, "Master Kaito, I apologize! Please forgive me!"
Kaito shifted into his human form as well and then motioned Yuu to sit up, after that Kaito got a clean punch to Yuu's face with a sideways swipe, "You damned marked! How many more of our laws have you broken already?!"
Yuu lay there, looking up at Kaito in fear, "Law 33, marked should never take on tengu form unless told. Law 76, marked should never socialize with humans unless told....but she's not human...so..."
Kaito brought out the blade from his side and swung the blunt side down hard on one of Yuu's fingers, where it made a sickening snap sound, "I'm going to let Law 76 slide, since you are right..this one isn't human. So you only get one broken finger for today, for Law 33. Now what do you say?"
"Thankyou for your mercy..." Yuu shut his eyes and tried not to make any sudden movements to show that he was in pain, or else he would get punished for it since he knew Kaito normally used that as an excuse to hurt him more.
Kaito turned to Toshi and bowed his head, "Please do not mind this, M'lady. But I would recommend ceasing any further communications with this marked, to avoid catching his filth." Kaito seemed quite interested in Toshi, since it was rare for him to come across a spirit, but it was his first time coming across a human spirit, which intrigued him more, "Might I ask for your name, M'lady?"
