Akakuro Short Stories: The Fae King

Song: Kokia - Fukurou
Once upon a time a long time ago. A human boy child was born with a very rare red hair color.

The parents thought that the child must have been taken by fairies. So in order to take their child back.

They left the child in the forest ignoring the baby cries as they left it.

But their child never came back.

Suddenly footsteps walked toward the baby. She was a beautiful women with red hair and red eyes. Her skin was greenish pale. Her lips as red as a apple. Her clothes made of flowers, vines and leaves.

"My, what a cruel thing humans have done to you. My dear poor poor child." She picked up the baby and carefully cradle the baby.

The baby giggle at her playing with her hair.

"I've decide. When I pass away and return to the earth. You will be the Fae King who will watch over my people." She smiled.

A thousand years have past since that story was told a thousand times in each generation.

"Go you monster!" A villager shouted.

"Go! Die!" The scream.

A pale blue haired teen stared at the villagers who were holding torches and pitchforks at him.

His name was Kuroko Tetsuya. A orphan who live in a abandon hut all by himself.

He wore a white kimono and a red flower kanzashi in his hair.

He was chosen to be a sacrifice to the forest. Where there have said to be beast and monsters in the forest.

Kuroko was shoved forward and fell to the ground dirtying his clothes.

"Go, no one wants you in this village." A villager said.

They all screamed at him.

Kuroko eyes were blank with no emotions. He knew a day like this would come one day.

He didn't care anymore....he had no friends no family.

So he walked forward without looking back.

Kuroko P.O.V
I didn't know how long I've been walking. It's been so long since I've been stuck in this forest no food no water.

I wonder how I haven't died yet. I must really be a monster.

I suddenly step onto a root and fell to the floor with a loud thud.

I felt my whole body starting to shut down.

I'm so tired.

I don't care if a wolf or anything eat me. Take it.

I don't want to live anymore.....

"What a beautiful human. But sadly you are dying. What a pity.." A cold voice said.

I slightly open my eyes and looked up at the blurry figure. All I could see was red.

"Who...are you?" I asked with my throat so dry that I could barely speak to him.

"I am the King of this forest. My job is to protect every living and life here in this forest. You humans are disgusting creatures sacrificing your own people." The man sigh.

"Your right....but I don't regret being a human. There were times I struggle to live and find food out of the trash. But...there were some good memories too. I just wish I had more time to live...to find happiness...and maybe fall in love....." My body was starting to feel heavy.
