Kuroko Tetsuya, A child cursed to be the vessel of a demon the 11 tailed wolf, who once attempted to destroy the Village of Teiko. His father, a brave Shinobi risked his life in order to save the only family he had left, for his wife passed away during the birth of his only son. He performed a sealing jutsu on the demon that sealed it within Kuroko.
Fire burned throughout the forest, and angry shouts and cries of agony filled the night. A lone man who has strayed from the chaos stood prone in front of an opening in the rock.
Sun kissed skin hidden beneath a chocolate brown cloak, hair the color of raven feathers swayed in the warm breeze, and eyes the color of melted topaz stared adoringly at the bundle he carried in his arms. Ice blue eyes that reminded him so much of his wife's, peeked over the swaddle of blankets.
"Oh Tetsuya, Otou-san loves you very much." he breathed, raising Tetsuya to his face and gently pressing his forehead against the much smaller one.
A tiny pale grubby hand reached up towards the Sun-kissed cheek and grabbed the warm skin. The man smiled and kissed the warm forehead.
"Otou-san wants you to live on and become an amazing man one day.."
Testuya seemed to smile up at him almost encouragingly. Taking a deep breath to steel the last of his nerves, he laid his son inside the opening of the rock and kneeled in front of him, The grass and dirt digging into his bare knees.
"No matter what happens, overcome it." were his final words as the wind whipped furiously around them and fire consumed their beings.
During the havoc, many Teikou villagers died either while in battle or being an unlucky victim of the collateral damage. Many great warriors died that day and the warriors that survived were stupefied at the fact that the demon they were fighting minutes ago vanished before their eyes.
The remaining villagers continue to hate the demon that tore up their town and killed many, this hate was shared with their children who blamed the demon for the death of a dear one or friend. However; No villager knows what exactly happened to the demon except the Hokage; Kozo Shirogane and his servants.
Shirogane was a trusted friend of Tetsuya's father for he has watched the boy journey into adulthood. Shirogane took it upon himself to take care of the boy and raise him away from the villagers questioning eyes.
He expected this to be a difficult task, but he soon realized that Kuroko was born with a low presence. Even if he were to raise Kuroko in the throng of Teiko, he doubted anyone would take notice of the child anyways.
"Excuse me...Emily-san?" a quiet voice said behind the maid.
Her shoulder tensed up and she screeched loudly, the sound bouncing of the walls of the lavish kitchen. She turned around quickly broom clenched between her worn hands, knuckles white.
Her green eyes scanned the space in front of her seeing nothing.
"ah." She sighed bringing a wrinkled hand to her forehead. "I've spent too much time holed up in this kitchen."
Emily ungracefully plopped herself on one of the wooden kitchen chairs, leaning back and closing her eyes.
"Emily-san may I please get a glass of water?" the voice asked, this time directly in front of her.
"G-G-GHOST! IM SORRY I DIDN'T VIST YOUR GRAVE OUJI-SAN! PLEASE DON'T HAUNT ME!"
She dropped the broom and scrambled out of the kitchen, apron slightly fluttering behind her as the door closed.
The women left a very thirsty Kuroko in her wake, as he stood there eyeing the pitcher of water that was just out of reach.
Kuroko's upbringing was smooth. He was very well mannered, polite, and soft spoken. Soon he grew attached to Shirogane and began to see him as a father.
"Papa?"
Shirogane flinched as he felt a sudden tug on his robes.
"Ah, Tetsuya you scared me." The elder man placed a warm hand upon the mop of blue ruffling the soft locks.
Thin blue brows furrowed slightly. "Sorry papa, I didn't mean to surprise you."
Shirogane smiled warmly patting the small head a few times for good measure.
"It's fine Tetsuya."
Kuroko was a small, pale and an overall fragile child, often getting sick easily. He had powder blue hair that complemented his wide ice blue eyes. Shirogane had to admit, Kuroko looked more like his late mother with his gentle appearance and disposition but had his father's eyes of determination.
"Tetsuya you need to stay in bed to get better."
The young boy laid on the white bed sheets in the medical ward, frowning slightly.
His previous attempt at escaping to his bedroom unnoticed was thwarted by the Hokage.
"I don't want papa to worry."
The Hokage sighed, gently taking the clammy pale hand in his bigger warmer ones. Tetsuya looked so frail and sickly, blue eyes weak and tired gazed into his own searching for an answer.
"If you just stay in bed and let the nurses take care of you, the sooner you'll get better."
Tetsuya's eyes looked away, breaking the eye contact, and his cheeks puffed up in defiance.
"It smells funny in here...I don't like it."
He attempted everything in order to obstruct the possibility of Kuroko finding out what lied within him. But the truth came out at one point from a rather brash and snide servant who still bared hatred for the 11 tailed wolf and made an attempt to take Kuroko's life.
"Tetsuya! Tetsuya!" Shirogane shouted desperately, running from door to door looking for Kuroko.
"Shirogane-sama, I know where he is!" A sharp feminine voice spoke. He turned around and saw one of his most trusted servants, holding what seemed to be a frying pan.
"Kamikage-san, take me to him. But first...please put the frying pan down."
"Sorry Shirogane-sama I cannot do that." Kamikage walked quickly, heels clacking softly.
She was one of the servants that took a liking to Kuroko and saw him as her own son. He was under her care since the beginning as one of his personal servants so the two grew very close.
At this point he didn't question the purpose for the frying pan, for he had a vague idea what it was for.
-Within the forest of Victories-
"Kuroko...Kuroko Tetsuya." A man with a shaved head smiled down at the boy, brown eyes gleamed in mirth in the moonlight. Currently he had the boy exactly where he wanted him.
Kuroko was pinned up against the trunk of a birch tree, bits of bark dug into his back and the nape of his neck as the man shoved him relentlessly against it.
Struggling to breathe, he looked up at the man, trying to keep consciousnesses as the pressure around his neck increased.
"You killed my family, killed my friends. I lost my shop! I had to settle to be this damn Hokages servant!" With each word, the man squeezed the neck in his hands harder and harder until he could faintly see Kuroko's lips turn a light shade of purple. The boy's hands tugged weakly at his wrists attempting to break free.
"You are going to die here and I will be the true hero of this village!"
Black edged his vision as he gazed at this man's face. He opened his mouth attempting to get his voice to work.
"I...didn't...kill...anyone..." he choked out, flinching as the man shoved his head against the tree trunk even harder.
"Ha..hahahahahha! You didn't kill anyone? Boy, do you even know what the hell you are? DO you know what is inside of you? THE 11 TAILED WOLF! THE BEAST THAT DESTROYED THIS VILLAGE 10 YEARS AGO!"
His vision went black.
When Shirogane reached the scene, he saw Kuroko being strangled against a tree. Without thinking he ran towards his boy, the boy he has come to treasure as his own.
However; before he could reach them, he saw Kuroko grab the man's hands and rip it away from his throat.
"Yamazaki what the hell are you doing!" Kamikages voice sounded behind him.
Yamazaki turned towards her eyebrows raised in obvious surprise and slight fear.
The woman approached Yamazaki with the frying pan raised above her head. He supposed he could leave the traitor to her as he knows she can deal fatal damage with a measly frying pan.
Glancing back at Kuroko, he noticed something was different about the boy. His eyes...were a glowing electric blue that showed complete malice and hatred towards the man that lay sprawled at Kamikages feet.
"Tetsuya..."
The eyes flickered to his and made brief contact, recognition flooding into the glowing irises.
"Papa" He whispered before his eyes slipped closed and he crumpled to the ground.
"Tetsuya!"
Following that event not only was Yamazaki punished, Shirogane was forced not only by the situation but also by Tetsuya, to explain what that man was talking about and just what the 11 tailed wolf was.
"Papa I need you to tell me what Yamazaki-san was talking about."
They sat on the couches in his office in the dead of the night. The crescent moon was high in the sky as the wind tousled the trees in the forest outside of the giant window.
"I will tell you everything."
And he did. He told Tetsuya everything about what happened 10 years ago, what happened to his parents, and his life..
