At the Heart Of Darkness

Chapter 1

Trees slowly degraded, flowers curled inward losing its colour, green grass faded to brown.

This was all happened while a little child walked through the village, people scurried fearfully into their shops, home or even hid behind their stand.

Everything was quiet, except you could hear footsteps echo though out the part of the town.

Kuroko or as the towns people of the village like to call it. The curse; had his head hung low, fists clenched tightly and face hidden by the shadow created by his hood.

Kuroko wore a black turtle neck shirt with a blue vest over it that was also a hood and wore standard ninja pants. From the looks of it the child also wore a dark blue mask.

"Look its back." A woman fearfully whispered, the townsfolk all hid in fear of the child.

"What's it doing here!?" A shop owner exclaimed angry waving a small knife in the air.

Kuroku kept walking, one of the villagers kids suddenly ran out of hiding from his mother and father.

Taking a apple from a stand near by the kid pegged it with all his might, the kid smirked triumphed at his achievement as the apple hit its target.

Kuroko fell to the ground with a, grunt face, first into the dirt.

"Ha! That'll teach you to mess with the villagers!" The kid said smirking, the villagers yelled in agreement encouraging the kid more.

He laid on the dirt ground looking at the apple. He slowly inched his hand towards the apple hope clear in the his eyes as nothing happened.....yet.

Kuroko gasped as the apple started degrade and wilt.

A emotionsless almost dazed look showed in the childs eyes, grunting the child pushed off he ground.

"Why? Why does that happen?" He whispered harshly.

"Hey freak what are you whispering to yourself about!" Said the kid that threw the apple.

He turned around with wide eyes startled that the kid and villagers were still there.

"Hey stone faced! I am talking to you!" The kid yelled.

"Shut up!" The he growled and suddenly the kid was knocked back by an invisible force.

The villagers all gasped and gaped at what had just happened. The kid whimpered as blood trickled down his mouth.

"Y-you monster!" A mother shouted running towards the the bloody kid.

Kuroko's eyes widen in shock from underneath his hood, before he started walking to the mother.

"N-no stay away!" A man yelled grabbing a metal pole from his shop before charging at him.

He gasped and took a step back managing to avoid the first swing of the metal pole. But unfortunately the second swing he did not miss and was knocked back by the force the man put into it.

.......

.......

'Wha? Why do I feel liquid running down my chin?' He thought to himself.

Feeling like an outcast, Kuroko felt his swollen up cheek only to flinch at the pain. The child gaped at the blood on its hand, not a second later a dark aura surrounded the child like a bubble.

"What- the hell is that!?" Yelled a woman.

The bubble started spinning and as time grew it spun faster then ever.

"Argh!"

Kuroko stood up and as the dark bubble expanded the villagers started to run

"Arghhh!!!!" All the villagers screamed as the bubble exploded turning the whole town and village into rubble and dust.

The bubble slowly faded to see a Kuroko lying on the dirt ground.
