"Kuroko, go fetch some water for the dishes, I'm running out!" kuroko languidly got up from the dining room table and grabbed the bucket that his mother was holding out for him.
"Yes, mother…" kuroko headed out the door, but was stopped by a tall man at the door. The man was the village's chief's son. He offended visited the family, but kuroko had no idea of his reasons for doing so. Kuroko walked pasted the man and continued on his way to the river. The man did not see him, and neither did the other villagers as he passed through. Most people could not see him, and when they did they would freak out and call him a monster, but kuroko knew he was not a monster, and what he had was a skill not a problem, so he ignored the rude comments he got about his talent and sooner or later became immune to them.
When kuroko got to the river he could tell right off the bat that something was wrong. It was quiet; nothing made a sound except for the river and its rushing water. Kuroko could tell that the animals in the area were not comfortable enough to speak, and that was worrisome. Kuroko knelt down by the river side and dipped the bucket in the water, letting the water flow against the metal. He pulled the bucket out of the water and set it down on the bank. Kuroko was about to get up off the ground, when he heard rustling in the tall green reeds on the other side of the river. He decided to stay and see what type of animal was going to emerge from the reeds. He waited, and soon he found himself starring at a large blonde wolf with beautiful golden eyes. The wolf looked at kuroko, sniffed the air, and then to kuroko's surprise, smiled a large smile. Before kuroko could comprehend what was going on, the blonde wolf jumped across the river and pounced on kuroko, knocking him over. When kuroko opened his eyes, he was greeted by a beautiful blonde man with sparkly gold eyes.
"hehehe! I found you! Now I won't let you go!" The man squealed and hugged poor kuroko tighter.
"w-what are you talking about? Who are you? And let me go!" Kuroko began to push the other off of him, but unfortunately the blonde haired man was too strong.
"eh, me? How can you not know me? Can you not feel my thread?" kuroko was confused by the man's odd question. What in the world did he mead by thread?
"What do you mean?! I can't feel anything…who are you?" the blonde man tilted his head in thought, and then smiled widely at kuroko.
"well since you can't even feel threads yet, I will have to introduce myself, my name is Kise Ryouta, im a shape shifter from the nether lands." Kise held up his wrist and showed kuroko a mark that looked odly like the one on the back of his neck.
"I'm also a member of the generation of miracles, it's nice to meet you kuroko!" kuroko was shocked that Kise knew his name. Not many people knew kuroko's name, especially not foreigners from all the way across the world.
"h-how do you know my name?" Kise started to laugh, making kuroko feel slightly awkward for asking the question.
"Did I say something funny?" Kise stopped laughing and looked down at kuroko.
"Oh you're serious…through the threads of course!" kuroko sighed and dead panned limply.
"I still don't know what threads are…" Kise perked up and looked up to the sky. His eyes were slightly panicked and it sort of worried kuroko.
"I will tell you later, but for now we need to get back to your village." Kuroko nodded his head; Kise got off of him and helped kuroko up. Kuroko grabbed the bucket of water and ran with Kise back to the village. Kuroko had a bad feeling about this, and he somehow knew that something very evil was headed their way, he could almost feel it. Maybe that's what Kise was talking about when he said threads, who knows.
When the two men arrived at the village, only one word could describe the state it was in: destroyed. Almost every house was on fire, smoke was rising into the blue sky. People were screaming and panicking as strange men butchered and slaughtered each one. In most cases, someone would turn their head form such horror, but kuroko could not bring himself to look away. Somehow, the presents of the man in front of him allowed kuroko to feel calm in this state of chaos. Kise frowned and looked at kuroko. Kuroko was calm, he did not shake or move and his eyes stayed locked on the scene. Kise looked to were kuroko was looking, and there on the ground was Riko, his mother. Kuroko walked over to her and knelt down next to her. The woman's stomach was cut open, and she was bleeding out. It was too late to save her.
"Tetsuya, my dear…I have something to tell you before I go…" kuroko nodded his head and grabbed his mother's hand.
"you…you are…a miracle…you have special powers that your real mother and father locked away inside you when you were just a baby…(cough)…find the rest of the miracles and live your…life…with…them…" with that Riko body went limp, and her eyes became lifeless, her chest stopped rising and falling , and kuroko cried. He cried with every ounce of emotion he could find within himself. Anger, sadness, pain, loss, and loneliness. There was nothing left to live for, or so he thought. Kise knelt down in front of kuroko and held out his hand.
"Come along kurokochii, let's fulfill your mothers dying wish!" kuroko wiped his tears and stood up from the ground. He was still very sad, but somehow he could see a light ahead, and he wanted to follow it.
