The Master of the guards

"Hey kid. Where do you think you're going?" The right one said.

"I'm not going to answer until you tell me what's going on." Kuroko raised his voice.

"Oh acting all intimidating are we? let me give it a try. Brother, please guard the door for a second." The right one replied as he got ready to fight with his sword. Kuroko realises this and tries to put on a stance but before he finished getting ready, he felt a huge dominating aura come from behind him which made him kneel down in pain.

The Guards also kneeled down but not for the same reason. "Master. I'm sorry I did this I left my post. I really am. I will accept whatever punishment."

'He literally moved a few feet though... I mean, ahhh the pain.'

Nobody else apart from Kuroko realised, but he was faking all the pain but did feel the amount of pressure just the initial burst surprised him.

"Silence. Tell Kuroko what is happening." The so called master of the guards said with a hoarse voice.

"This wimp is Kuroko!?" The left guard responded.

'Hey that was uncalled for! But judging by the master's voice, he should be getting old now.

"What did I say just now?" The master asked with a glare in his eyes. He sighed and moved on. "Kuroko. We have taken hold of your village and the Elder is now being held hostage."

Kuroko's heart sank. he tried to commit to a dash towards the living room door but just before he got there, a frail voice came from the room.

"Kuroko, is that you? Please don't come for me now. Get stronger and sav-" The sound of a slashing sound and the blood splashing cut him off. Both literally and figuratively. When Kuroko regained his senses, he stopped running and felt the aura disappear from behind him, to Infront of him.

He got his first good look at the Master, he was an old man around his 70s about as tall as Kuroko but was slouched and wore a white uniform with strips of red along the seems. He also had grey hair and had it in a man bun and he held a cane with his left hand.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in the side of his head and and his consciousness fading.
