Where Kuro is
It was midnight or so and Kuro woke up. She looked around the room and saw Shas sleeping in a small ball at the end of her bed. She got out of bed quietly and packed a small bag. She stepped out the window and onto the roof. She took flight and left her best friend's temple.
Around mid-morning Kuro landed in a small town on the outskirts of Osaka to get some food. She then walked about a mile west and came to a cemetery an extremely old cemetery. She walked over to the middle of the cemetery and stopped in front of twin tombstones. Kuro placed some flowers by both stones and sat down in front of them. She looked at the one on the right and read:
Died in the Tenth month
Here lies a wonderful Mother and Wife
lightning bolt Lin Raikou lightning blot
You're still a strong demon
Then Kuro looked at the other one and read:
Died in the Tenth month
Loving Father, Great Husband
There will be no other demon slayer like you
Kurokage Raikou
Next to the tombstone sticking in the ground was a really old and rusty sword. Kuro traced her finger along the sword and then left her hand on top of it. She looked at the tombs with sadness in her eyes. She then remembered a story her mother told her of how her parents met.
Flashback
"Mum I want to hear the story of how you and Dad met," said a three-year old Kuro (A/N: please don't ask about the age)
"Well that is a very good story," started her mother.

"Kurokage you are to go to the lightning demon village and slay them. They have been a quite bothersome group. Don't underestimate them, although they are all women, they are still incredibly strong," said the leader of the demon slyer tribe.
"I understand, Lord," said Kurokage and he walked out of the temple. He gathered his weapons and left his tribe for the land to the west.
Once there he hid in a disguise and walked up to the gate.
"Who are you?" asked a female walking toward Kurokage.
"Uh… I'm Kuro, yea and I was just traveling around," said Kurokage putting on a female voice.
"Uh huh, well you can stay here tonight, Kuro. I'll tell the elder," said the young woman and she flew off to a temple above the village. Kurokage waited for her to return. When she did she came with another woman. The other was the most beautiful thing Kurokage had ever seen. Her long flowing black hair and black eyes that seemed to hold the night sky in them.
She bowed before him and spoke in a sweet voice, "You may stay at my place, Kuro," she said, "please follow me." Kurokage followed her to a medium sized hut and stepped in. "My name is Lin by the way," said the woman.
"Ah, and as you know I am Kuro," said Kurokage.
Kurokage stayed there and fell in love. In the end (A/N: good song by Linkin Park) he couldn't bring himself to slay any of them.

"So is that how I got my name too?" asked Kuro.
"Yes," said Lin and she kissed her daughter on her forehead.

Kuro sighed and fell asleep lying across the two graves.
