Kuro is a part of a hidden family, settled deep within the woods of the continent they live on. They're renowned as expert hunters, and Kuro is no different. Each one is given an attribute to assist them in the hunt. In Kuro's case, he was granted a third eye that allows him to see through walls and the bark of trees during night. Almost any hunt he completes ends in success, thanks to his father's mentoring.

The hunt begins

As Kuro hit his teen years, his father and sister worked together for some time. So, when his dad was called out for an expedition out on a distant arctic wasteland, he was left with his mom. His mom, for lack of a better word, was absent in Kuro's childhood. So, instead of staying with a mother that didn't pay attention to him, he turned his attention back to hunting.

Go figure, he couldn't really hunt forever. Kuro's mom enrolled him in a neary school, much to his dismay. Then again, he couldn't really do much about it. So, on the first day, he stayed as far away from people as possible. For some reason this had the opposite effect and a giant group soon formed itself around him. Fun. He couldn't stand the nature of the kids in the school. Though, the people around him expressed that on his behalf. In a way, Kuro had accidentally formed a whole gang.

Things were fine for some time. That is, until a two-toned haired boy found himself caught in the fray of his group's belittling. He didn't think anything of it, but he felt... bad. So, one day, he stepped in.

growing trust

In the early days of their friendship, Kuro did his best to hide away from Shiro. Somehow, the latter always seemed to find him. This time, Kuro was out camping in his backyard when he saw the outline of a figure in the distance. He whipped around, bow drawn, only to realize he was aiming the arrowhead right between his friend's eyes. With a gruff huff, Kuro lowered the bow and sat back down.

Shiro commented he saw cameras and other objects set up in the woods, and asked Kuro about it. Kuro explained the whole hunting thing, which Shiro listened to intently. After he was done, Shiro asked if Kuro could teach him archery. It was a sign of trust to the three-eyed boy, so he agreed. Training would begin tomorrow, he told Shiro.

walls fall down

Before Kuro knew it, the school year was reaching an end. Prior to the mindset he started with, he dreaded the end of it all. He feared he wouldn't see Shiro, or any of his other friends, ever again. So, he thought of a plan. Shiro had become his best friend, but Kuro felt something else stirring within his brain. So, he asked him out to prom. As per expected, Shiro said yes.

Kuro knew people would be swarming the main gym, so he chose a spot behind the building and told Shiro to meet him there. After their dance under the stars, Shiro told Kuro he liked him. As in, more than a friend.
Kuro was shocked, of course, but after the inital surprise wore off, he confirmed he felt the same.
His mother would be a problem, though. She wouldn't approve of their relationship in the slightest, but Kuro was ready to fight for what, or who, he loved.
