500 miles away from the empire
At a small village lived a boy, who hair was dark as night and eyes as blue as the sea, laid on the grass as the wind blew through his hair. "Kuro!" A feminine voice called out to him. "Yeah mom?" Kuro look to see his mother. She had long blue hair that went down to her waist, and green eyes. "Dinner is ready"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Later
Kuro along with his mother, father and new baby sister, all sat at the table eating, until his dad called him. "Kuro, I heard you got in another fight today." Kuro looked at him. "They had it coming to them, they were beating a defenseless kid, I had to step in." Kuro tried to reason with him. "You could've told someone, you can't take matters into your own hands." His dad schooled him.
"I just wanted to help..."
*BOOM*
All of a sudden a loud explosion was heard near the village.
"MOM, DAD WHAT WAS THAT!?" Kuro asked.
"KOKOU, STAY HERE WITH THE KIDS!" His dad ordered.
Once his dad stepped outside he can see smoke coming from the center of the village, he knew that this was an invasion.
"Oh god, Kokou grab the kids were leaving."
Kuro looked at his dad, he looked scared.
Without a second thought Kuro complied, he grabbed his sister and ran, with his parents.
As they were about to leave the village they were stopped by three men.
The one in the middle look like he was the leader of the whole thing.
He was tall and muscular, and had a red cape and a gauntlet on his left hand.
"Well, trying to escape are we?" He asked
"Yeah, so we can get away from bastards like you!" Kuro said
"KURO!" His dad shouted
"Kuro? Well what a coincidence, were the kuroinu, and I'm there leader Vault."
"Kuroinu? Well, our last name is Kami, as in Kurokami." Kuro said
Vault then grabbed him by his shirt.
"Well aren't you a hero, little shits like you are always annoying." Vault said
"At least I'm not an asshole like you!" Kuro was greeted to a punch to the guts, coughing out blood.
"KURO!" his mom yelled in fear.
"Hold him down boys, I'm going to give the woman a good time." Vault said
"No, MOM, DON'T TOUTCH HER YOU BASTARD!" Kuro yelled begging.
"And... Kill the dad."
Kuro eyes shrink to the size of a pinhole.
"Dad?" Kuro called to his father one last time until...
*splunk*
He looked as a sword pierced his fathers chest, and started crying.
He looked at his mothers face, and saw tears rolling down her cheeks.
Later
At the edge of a cliff, Kuro was badly beaten, and Vault held him by his shirt.
"What about... my sister..?" Kuro asked
Vault smiled.
"She's gone."
Kuro was in despair.
Vault tossed him off the cliff and into the sea.
The next day
On the shore on the beach two soldiers look to see Kuro unconscious.
"He's still alive, we can take him no charge."
"You know what they say; one mans trash is another mans treasure."
Later
Kuro woke up in a carriage, wondering where he was.
"Your awake." He looked to see two girls who looked almost similar to each other and probably around his age. They both had dark Raven hair, one had red eyes, the other had black, the one with red eyes was a little taller than the other one.
"Where am I, who are you?" Kuro asked looking at the girls.
"They found you washed up on the beach, and they took you with all of us, I'm Akame, and this is my sister; Kurome."
"Where are we going?" I asked
Kurome looked at me. "We don't know, our parents sold us to the empire"
Kuro froze where he sits. "T-The empire?"
Akame could tell he was a long way from home, she puts a hand on his back for comfort.
Later Kuro's pov
When we arrived, we all stood in a orderly fashion, once the instructor came out he told what to do next, I never thought things could get anymore worse, we were forced to participate in a cruel exam, being put inside of a forest inhabited by many Danger Beasts, the only goal being to survive and escape the forest.
Later
I walked... And walked... And walked... Kids... Around my age... Dead... Lying on the ground.
Why? Kuro thought
Why didn't I die? Why am I doing this? Haven't I suffered enough?
"HEY" I heard that same voice I heard in the carriage.
That girl, Akame was it, and her sister Kurome.
Akame rushed up to me.
"Are you alright?" She asked
"I can't live like this... I can't stay here... I wasn't sold to them. I was tossed off a cliff to die. I don't belong here."
Tears rolled off my eyes as I tried to stand. "I can't stay here, not only must I survive, I need to escape, not the forest, but this whole godforsaken facility."
Akame looked at me with anger.
"DON'T BE STUPID, you won't survive by yourself, you'll die!"
I looked back at her, both eyes locked.
"I'm already dead."
...
...
Silence stood as that happens.
"I never got your name." Akame said
Before I can answer, I gave her a knife I always kept in my pocket.
"Kuro" I said
"Thank you, Kuro." Both her and her sister said. And with that we both went our separate ways.
Later
These kids had so much to live for, And their parents sold them to the empire, damn them, damn them all to hell. They deserve better than this.
With my own hands I dig a hole big enough to bury all of the deceased.
Normal POV
Kuro, walked in the middle of the forest. He had no location, nor any idea of where to go. His mind was already breaking from the mental pain that was beginning to poison him.
He wasn't looking where he was going and fell into a hole.
Kuro fell and broke his arm.
Why, how'd it come to this, why has everything been taken from us?
Kuro looked forward and saw a weapon, a long Katana with a black handle. Under it lied a tombstone with writing on it, it said: This is the teigu Shinda ōkami, if the weapon does not reject you, it means you are worthy to wield this weapon.
Kuro looked at it for a moment.
You boy... He heard a voice, it appears to be coming from the sword.
I can sense pain and despair coming from you, I can see in your eyes you lost everything precious.
"Yes, I have, that man took everything from me. I want to become strong enough to kill him." Kuro said
If you truly desire power, then wield me.
Without a second thought, Kuro picked the sword up. Dark shadows surrounded him. He can feel his broken arm and wounds heal.
You have a strong aura, and a strong lust for revenge and bloodlust.
"Yes, that's true" Kuro replied.
Kuro walked out of the hole. Outside were 10 danger beast waiting for him.
A walking corpse... that's all I am. Kuro thought.
Kuro unsheathe the sword.
"Bring it."
