Blank
Chapter 1
Freedom
He felt empty. It was unnerving that he knew nothing of who he was or from where he was from. This emptiness was slowly eating him from inside out, killing him. He just wanted this suffering to end yet he felt utterly useless. There was a long blank in his life and he didn't even have a hint of what was to be filled in there. He was just that, a liability on others. He just remembered when Hotaro san had found him on some sea shore. He looked down on his arms to see that the marks of the injuries he had at that time were still there. If Hotaro san hadn't have found him that day, he would've been dead by now. Hotaro san had taken his care, helped him, given him food and shelter till he recuperated at his place. He was a middle aged man and lived with his twin daughter and son. The three of them had treated him as one of their own and even had given him clothes to wear. Ryuhei, Hotaro's son, was roughly his size just a little muscular and big in size. His shirt hung on his shoulders loosely but still it felt good to not have to wear tight clothes in fact it felt to him that he didn't even wanted to wear clothes. They had called him Kuro because of his hair color. This name was suggested by Ryuko, Hotaro's daughter. After one month of staying with the family he had decided to pack up. He had left their house 2 months ago with a small duffel bag with some water, food and a few clothes in it given to him by the little family. He had ventured around the whole kingdom for 2 months but still nothing. He just felt empty as ever. Nothing to fill the void he had in himself.
"Hey Blank! Come here and get your lazy ass to work!" a man, really bulky with a bald shaved head and in a green general like suit said. Oh right, he never knew when he was taken to an island to work as a puny slave. He knew he was worth more than that but having no knowledge whatsoever about himself or anybody else, he just had to work like dogs, literally. The men here, called Generals, were assholes came directly from hell to torture the people working here. And they oh-so-lovingly called him what he loathed the most, Blank. It just reminded him of how useless he is and no better than a helpless infant. He slowly got up, wincing at the pain shooting up his right leg which was bruised badly from the treat Jin, one of the generals, had given him this noon. He had just defended an old man who looked as if he will wither away any second and got to become the prey of Jin's wrath himself. He was really lucky that Jin was in a really good mood today that only his leg was like this, he had seen him do worse to others and just thinking it made a chill go up his spine. He made his way towards the working area and started with breaking the big rocks. He still didn't know why the so-called generals were making them do this but what other choice he had.
"Kuro!" he heard a voice and turned to find a boy of his age coming towards him. He was Nio, the only person who talked to him like humans. Others just thought of him as a demon or an animal.
"You alright? I heard what happened this noon so I came to check on you" Nio said as his eye caught the sight of the bruised leg partially hidden by the loose pants Kuro was wearing. Kuro just nodded as Nio sighed.
"I guess Jin was in a good mood today" he said as Nio looked at him before spotting that one of the patrolling generals was coming.
"Okay, take care, I must run" he said as he ran to where he was supposed to be as Kuro smiled slightly before returning to his work. It was after 3 hours that the time to sleep finally came. He dragged his tired body to his so called room. Nio was his roommate and the only one who accepted him with warm hands.
"Kuro, the final phase of the plan is tonight. It is now or never" Nio said as he and Kuro sat in their cell or called room by the generals. Kuro nodded as he took out a magic bomb from the pocket in his cloak. He had stolen it earlier from one of the cabins of the generals. Nio smiled at him and planted the bomb in the hole both of them had dug in the wall. He operated the bomb and then went to a corner with Kuro behind him. Just as the bomb exploded, the whole building was left shaking. Both Nio and Kuro quickly went to check what was the result, only to be filled with utmost despair and sadness when they saw what had happened. There was a hole indeed but not even a dog can pass through it.
"What should we do now Nio san?" Kuro asked as he heard the shouts of the generals, giving orders to find the source of the explosion. Nio just looked at Kuro then to see the general approaching in their direction.
"Who was the one responsible for this!?" Kage spat out as he looked at the two teens in the cell. Nio was just going to admit that he was the one who planned it when Kuro suddenly stepped before.
"I was the one who forced Nio san to do this with me, I am the culprit" he said, not even a speck of fear in his voice. Kage grabbed him by his neck and strangled him.
"Why you! Fucking brat!" he growled as he threw Kuro only for him to be caught by Nio as both of them fell on the ground.
"Take both of them!" Kage ordered as both of them were blindfolded and handcuffed to be taken to an unknown place. Suddenly something hit the back of their skulls as both of them fell on the marbled floor of the room they were brought into.
"Umm…where?" Kuro mumbled as he finally came back to his senses. He opened his eyes only to come face to face with a sight he dreaded the most. There in front of him stood Jin while his sword was going through the body of none other than Nio.
"Nio san!" a cry of anguish erupted from his throat as he uselessly tried to get free and aid his friend in any way possible.
"Get away from him! Go away! Leave him alone!" he said but the deed was already done. There in front of him hung the dead body of his only comrade with the person whom he most loathed standing with a wicked smirk on his face.
"Shut up you damned Blank! You will now know better than to disobey me willn't you" Jin said as he chuckled maniacally before leaving the room while dragging Kuro behind him. He threw the teen in a cell with some other teens in it.
"You deserve to be damned for your whole life you little son of a bitch!" Jin said as he locked the cell once again and went away. Kuro just looked at the vanishing back of the general till he fully disappeared from sight. Suddenly he felt rage build up inside him as he looked at the others in this cell. They all must've also tried to do what Nio and he had done and have also failed.
"I am gonna kill that bastard" he muttered to himself as he felt some energy pulsating through him, wanting to be released. A white mist started to hover around him as he felt his blood turning to ice but it only fueled him more. He then totally went berserk. He punched the bars of the cell and broke them. He ushered everyone to escape while they can as he continued on with freeing everyone else. Suddenly he noticed two bulky men coming towards him and at that exact moment his body felt really light as he jumped in the air and evaded the oncoming attack and landed a hit of his own on the two. Others also started joining him, using shovels and other things as their weapons. There was a whole revolution. Even Jin wasn't able to stand in front of his new form. In a mere 30 minutes, the whole troop of generals was down and the slaves were cheering and celebrating. Kuro was in front of a newly dug grave. One he himself dug for Nio.
"I made your sacrifice to come out fruitful Nio san, I…I am..am sorry, you aren't here just because of me…I am sorry" he said as two or three drops of salty water fell on the ground while an endless river flowed from his eyes. He stood up and bowed in respect before turning around to go. But when he turned around, he saw everyone from the captives of generals standing there while smiling at him. Suddenly a little kid came and gave him a single flower.
"This is for nii chan, he helped and saved us. Now June can go to her mamma papa" the little girl, June, smiled as Kuro took the little flower from her with a little smile gracing his lips.
"Thanks June, but in reality it was Nio san who freed us, including me" Kuro said as he looked at where their savior rests now. Others from the group of workers gave him whatever they can muster up with and one person came with his bag and stuff which was seized from him when he was kidnapped. After bidding good bye, Kuro departed on his journey to search for his identity once again. But now he felt as if the empty void inside him was being filled, even at a slow pace there was at least some progress and he was glad it was there.

Gaah! It feels to me like a load of crap! Seriously I thought I would've been able to write better than this but...whatever! Sheesh! You all must be thinking that at least I should've made a good chappie after starting the sequel, right? But I can't do anything else so…GOMEN!
Ja!
