《Save Me Kuro (Kuro X Reader)》-1-
Advertisement
"Alright, see ya later!" (y/n) said as she parted ways with her friends.
As soon as they were out of sight, her attitude took a 180. She hated going to school, living in this town, and shit, even living in this f*cked up world. But she knew she couldn't leave her only family behind.
Her only family was her little sister Nanami. Nanami's thirteen while (y/n) is sixteen and since they live on their own together, (y/n) has a job. However, it's not exactly family-friendly but she's doing it to keep her and Nanami off the streets.
So far it's been working out well. She even has a delivery for someone and will be meeting up with them around nine-thirty. Though, before she does that, she decides to go get a few snacks for her and her sister.
~
(Y/n) begins to unlock the door with her right hand and holds their snacks in the other. Once she opens the door she was greeted by the ecstatic Nanami.
"Oof. What's up Nanami?" (Y/n) asks with a warm smile.
"Hey (Y/n)! I found something!" Nanami said excitedly.
"What is it Nanami?" (Y/n) asks while closing the door and locking it.
"Just come look," She says, running to the living room.
(Y/n) walks over to the kitchen counter and sets down the bags full of snacks, hangs up her coat and takes off her shoes.
"What is it?" (y/n) asks walking over to Nanami.
She turns around and sees a fluffy black cat in her arms.
"And who's this?" She questions the 13-year-old while petting the cat.
"I didn't want to give it a name until you were here," Nanami says sweetly.
"What should we name it? "She asks. (Y/n) thinks for a minute and finally comes up with a name.

"Let's name him Kuro!" (Y/n) suggests with a grin.
"I like it," Nanami says softly.
~
Nanami and I were having fun playing video games. Victories switching between me and her. Then, all of a sudden, my alarm went off.
I look over at my phone and noticed that the alarm said 9:10. It's time for me to go deliver a 'package' to one of my regular customers. I reached over and took my phone off the coffee table and dismissed the alarm. I take Kuro out of my lap and set him on the floor. Both Nanami and the cat look up at me.
"Alright, Nanami. I've gotta go." She gives me a confused look.
"Where are you going?" She asks standing up.
"I'm just going out for a little while," I reply.
"You better be in the bed by the time I get home, okay?"
"Okay," Nanami says a little disheartened.
I get up and walk down the short hallway to my bedroom. I go to my dresser and dig under my folded clothes for the 'package' and my switchblade. I put them both in my pocket and lock my bedroom door. Then, I make my way to the entrance of our place and I slip on my shoes and throw on my coat.
"Lock the door," I say to her.
She nods in response then says, "Be safe (y/n)."
A smile rises on my face, "I will."
~
I stood leaned up against the wall in a dark alley. The only light source was the brightness of my phone. I was currently distracted with a game called Tap Tap Dash. Then, I heard movement and decided to check my surroundings, there he was. I pulled my hood over my head and walked over to my customer.

"Do you have the stuff?" He asks while jittering.
"I always do. Now, where's the money?" I ask sternly.
He places the money in my hand and I count it just to be safe. '100, 200,250' I count in my head, making sure that he gave me the right amount of money for the 'package'. It wasn't all of it. I was missing another 50 dollars.
"Where's the other 50?" I ask in a serious tone.
"I don't have it." He says sheepishly.
"I'll make sure I give it to you next time."
Since it was his first time messing up, I let him off the hook but say: "You better have it next time or I cut you off completely." I hand him the package and start walking home.
~
I walk in to see the lights off, but one bright light coming from the living room. Also, the scent of ramen. I hang my coat up and take off my shoes. I take out my switchblade and slowly start to walk towards the source.
I see the Tv on and notice a guy with pastel blue hair, crimson red eyes, and a blue jacket that has an odd bottom to it. Almost like tails.
I yell at the man before I attack "Who the hell are you?!"
Once I swing at him, he dodges my attack, but he disappears.
"Where'd he go?" I turn around from hearing a noise.
"What the f*ck? Kuro?" I say slightly confused. I stare at it and notice that his eyes were the same crimson red as that guy. I get on the defensive.
"Stop trying to trick me! Get in your real form you vagrant!" I yell practically threatening the strange man. As he transforms, Nanami runs in from her bedroom and stops as she sees our lovable cat change into a guy.
"What's going on?!" She asks as shocked as ever.
"This guy right here is Kuro!" I yell back in response. After my yelled statement, blue light had surrounded my right wrist and his neck.
Then the strange guy who so happened to be Kuro fell to the ground on his knees and said, "You're so stupid I could die."

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
