Hungry Ghost
by Rana Eros


Around Halloween 2005, fuda_100 had a challenge of "Supernatural beings other than Shinigami." I borrowed the title from a Chinese festival, and the concept from what I thought the festival was when I first heard about it as a child. Betaed by Rune.


It was perfect, the blood moon and the small, pale figure standing beneath the sakura. Muraki thought it had to be a trap, but he couldn't stop himself from moving closer, drawing his knife and baring his teeth and remembering sweet flesh, sweet pain, sweet green eyes full of such delicious rage. The boy was an irritant, but he'd made a lovely doll. To kill another such....

The figure turned as Muraki stepped into the shadow of the sakura. Fair hair framed eyes that flashed green, then burned red.

"You killed otouto-chan," she said, sweetly. "I've been waiting for you."
