>The worst part was, this sort of thing went on for awhile. Whenever he wasn't home, she had taken to breaking into his place. He could tell the signs. His bed ruffled when it was originally neat when he left. Food eaten. Clothing worn. Why was she wearing his unlaundered shirts, anyway? It was absurd, and it was getting on his nerves.
>Several months passed, and the thief continued to evade him. He hadn't seen her, but he knew it was the same dumb bird. She'd been avoiding getting caught. And he heard her sometimes, when he approached his cabin. It was so frustrating. How was he supposed to live his life if this black harpy kept harassing him?
>On his way home one day, however, something unusual happened. He heard laughing... but it wasn't the same sort of laughter. It was a caw-caw, yes, but it definitely wasn't her. And he realized he was surrounded. A group of five black harpies, with scowls on their faces, surrounded him from the treetops.
>"Well well. Looks like we've found a great source of shinies here, huh Hana?" one spoke.
>"That's right, Karasu. I think we should rob him blind. Perfect, right?"
>"Yep yep!" another, slightly younger one piped up. "Look at all the grain! And the glass! It's great, it's great!"
>Oh fuck.
>He grabbed his iron hammer, and placed it in front of him. He was ready to fight to defend his livelihood... but one of the harpies swept down and kicked him off his wagon. The hammer went flying. Another bird caught it.
>"Not exactly shiny... but very nice, very nice."
>"Stay down, human. We don't want to have to hurt you. Much." The birds began to laugh again, their caws terrifying him.
>They rustled through his stuff, separating it between them and grabbing bag after bag. Unlike the one he had met, they weren't just nuisances. They were robbing him of everything!
>"You know..." one of them, the one called Hana, said after glancing over at him again. She grinned. "I think he's pretty cute, actually, now that I get a look."
>"Ha! Leave it to you to be tired of the single life. But who says you should get him? Hmm? If he's that nice, maybe I should get him instead, huh?" Karasu teased the other harpy, who bristled a bit. Hana ran over and grabbed him with her talon.
>"Oh no, you aren't getting him, I'm getting him!" The others began to swarm, laughing and poking the two harpies.
>"Hey hey," the third one spoke up, "maybe you should both see which of you he likes better! Whoever makes him cum faster, that kind of thing. I read it in a succubus diary."
>More laughter. More uproarious cawing. All he could do was scowl. This was getting worse and worse. And worse...
>There was a yell. "Hey! HEEEEEEEEY!" A sixth black harpy voice, coming closer and closer, faster and faster.
>"Wait, is that-" The harpy dive bombed from the sky, and knocked Hana off of him. She landed with a loud thump, and stood up. He could see the scowl on her face, and the familiar shirt she was wearing. She looked pissed.
>"Don't you dare. Do you hear me, Hana! You can't rob onii-chan! And you can't take him, either!" She was younger than the five who surrounded her, but sounded fierce. The others looked at each other with a little embarrassment.
>Karasu shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, Kuroko, I didn't know this was the one you kept talking about. Your cute little human."
>"Ha ha ha! Really? He's a bit scrawny, isn't he? What's wrong with you, bird-brain?!"
>"Oh come on, why are you complaining about him now, I heard your idea earlier, you sounded excited," the fourth said to the third.
>"Just go away. GO AWAY!" screamed Kuroko. The other black harpies scattered.
>"Fine, fine, whatever. I can do better anyway," Hana muttered before she, and the rest, flew off.
>What the fuck just happened?
>He stood up then, a little shakily. Kuroko glanced over, relieved. "Oh good, you're okay, onii-chan." He didn't know exactly what to say... but he took a step forward. She blushed a little, and hopped back.
>"You aren't catching me this time. Bye!" She darted away, grabbed a single bag of grain, and flew off. "See you next time, onii-chan!"
>Well that just happened.
