A Story's Beginning (Kubo x Reader)

"The end of one story, is merely the beginning of another."

Kubo's story ended when his grandfather became human and was stripped of his memories.

That was years ago. Kubo is now seventeen and he still tells stories. But he rarely tells his story. But as Monkey had said, this is just the beginning of another story.

(Y/n) is fifteen, almost sixteen. She lives alone with her father as her mother passed when she was little. Her father became an alcoholic after her death, and whenever he can, he will use the money (Y/n) makes to buy more sake.

Each day, (Y/n) works a produce cart in the town square. The town was rebuilt and better than ever. More people live there now, so it's now bigger than ever. Because of (Y/n) working, she doesn't really get to hear Kubo's stories. But she's fine with that.

Then one night, (Y/n) goes off to Kubo's cave to return something, and she see's him dreaming. It was about a house fire. Later that night, they find out that it was (Y/n)'s house. The fire killed her father, but later they realize who set the fire, and what their intentions were.

(Y/n) and Kubo embark on a journey to collect something ancient of high importance to both Kubo's and (Y/n)'s family. They also find out that what Kubo and (Y/n) are searching to protect, is what the people who set the fire really want.

And the power Kubo and (Y/n) retrieve to fight, is not nearly as powerful as the power that still grows between the two of them.
