Kuroko often wondered if his parents abandoned him and if he's unwanted. He was only a newborn when he was left at the orphanage's doorstep and all Kuroko knew was his full name and birthday. No one knew his parents and frankly, no one cared. Plus, everyone always called him 'Ghost' due to this low presence.
But that's not the only strange thing: Kuroko sometimes saw his eyes glow red and for some reason, whenever he saw blood, something inside him just threatened to break free. He suddenly became thirsty and felt the need to sink his teeth in something.
Kuroko managed to control himself before things get to out of control. He had this feeling that if he let himself go with the flow, something terrible will happen.
One morning, Kuroko walked around in the forest that's near his shelter and tried to find his animal friend. No humans really cared about him, but animals are a different story. Kuroko realized that if he wanted to be noticed, then his strange ability would disappear. That's how he made friends with an abandoned dog in this forest.
He named the dog Nigou, and they would play and spend time together. Kuroko always brought food for Nigou secretly, and tried to make sure that Nigou's healthy. The poor dog had to live under a bunch of rocks for his shelter and doesn't have the ability to hunt food. What can a small dog do in this huge forest?
"Nigou!" Kuroko called out and tried to search for his friend but to no avail. Nigou's not at his usual hiding spot and he usually would stay there to wait for him. Something's wrong. "Nigou!"
Suddenly, a loud gunshot resounded through the air, making Kuroko froze. Kuroko want to run away but what if whoever shot the gun would shoot him? He thought of Nigou and wondered if the dog will be there. The second thought overpowered the first and Kuroko ran to where the sound was heard.
When he arrived at the scene, a bullet flew past his head, missing just by a few inches. However, the bullet grazed his cheek and Kuroko hissed in pain. He can feel wet liquid dripping down his cheek and his wound is stinging like it's on fire. The pain increased and Kuroko feared how it would feel if the bullet actually entered his body.
Two people came out from the bush and both of them holding a silver gun with some unique designs. Someone crept behind Kuroko and suddenly, he found himself being held up by the shoulders.
"'Ey kid," one person started. He wore a formal suit with a device situated on his ear. A bunch of rings decorated his fingers, showing off his wealth. "Ya a vamp?"
"Vamp? What?" Kuroko is confused, but more importantly, he's scared. What would they do to him? Curse himself for letting himself be seen and that he should have made use of his ability. He struggled to break free, but the strength holding him down tightened.
Another person clarified, "He means vampire."
"Vampire? I'm human! Not a vampire!" Does vampires even exist? Why would they make that assumption?
"That bullet would only effect vampires, and humans would be left unharmed. Now answer the question truthfully or else." Kuroko knew what would be implied after the 'or else.'
He gulped. "I'm really a human!"
"Ain't got no choice. Ya should say goodbye." The man cocked his gun and aimed for Kuroko's head. Kuroko widened his eyes and immediately squeezing them shut.
Surprisingly, the impact didn't came.
Instead, what Kuroko saw is a fiery redhead and a flowing black cape. The silver bullet clattered on the ground with smoke rising.
"Humans," The redhead's voice thundered and the strangers all felt a chill down their spine. "Know your place." The person behind the duo raised his gun and aimed it at the redhead.
As if having eyes at the back of his head, the redhead snapped his fingers and the man flew backwards, an invisible force dragging him. The man hit the tree harshly and he spitted out blood.
"Now you are next." The redhead raised his hand and before he can do his trick, the two humans ran away with their tail between their legs.
However, during the moment, Kuroko saw them talking to some sort of walkie talkie device. "And you," his attention directed at Kuroko and Kuroko flinched.
He prepared himself, thinking he would be harmed but he did not expect the redhead to extend a hand to him as if asking if he's okay. Kuroko's dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. When he remembered that he hadn't gave a reply, Kuroko grasp the redhead's hand, thinking that it's cold and he led Kuroko to a mansion. Kuroko followed but was a bit confused; not knowing he just entered the vampires' lair...

Even the mansion felt cold. The bluenette shivered as the cold gust blew past him. The redhead seems to be fine, unfazed by the temperature. Kuroko rubbed his hands on his shoulders, hoping some friction would warm himself up.
"A-Ano, what is your name?" He asked nervously even though he's not good with interaction. That department is very lacking in skills.
"Akashi," The redhead said and Kuroko wanted to ask for his full name but stopped himself. He shouldn't stick his nose where it doesn't belong.
Kuroko also introduced himself before asking, "Akashi-kun, um, where are we?" The mansion lacked light and it's very dark though Kuroko's not uncomfortable with it, despite his family name meaning black child.
"Our lair." Akashi looked at Kuroko and continued, "including yours as well."
The bluenette pointed to himself. "Me?" he said and Kuroko began to question himself.
Should he stay in someone's place without giving something in return? That doesn't feel right. Akashi doesn't owe him anything and he's giving shelter to Kuroko. That's not fair to the redhead.
Kuroko's train of thought was interrupted when the door burst opened, and two people were wrestling on the floor. The navy teen rolled on top of the blonde, but the blonde fought back. It seems that they're having fun in their little game but was sadly ended when Akashi coughed.
"Aomine. Kise. Enough." The two surprisingly stopped all motion and knelled willingly in front of Akashi, as if he's the boss.
"Yeah, yeah/ ok, ssu!"
"Ooh, who are you?" The blonde named Kise jumped up and hovered over Kuroko. He observed the bluenette for a while before hugging him tightly. "You're so cute!"
Aomine wiggled his finger in his ear and said, "Aho, stop bothering him. Can't you see he doesn't like you?"
Kise stopped and whined, "So mean, ssu!"
"Both of you, call the others and meet me in the meeting room," Akashi said before he walks away and pulls Kuroko with him. Aomine said something like 'We're not your slave' as he walked away with Kise in tow.
When they're in the meeting room, Kuroko sat down in a chair and remained still. Soon, a patch of human rainbow strolled in the room and all sat down.
"Kuroko, meet the Generation of Miracles, purebloods of the vampire kind."
