Summary
Iruka Umino was having a terrible day.
His day didn't start this bad. He would describe it as normal, even. Nothing at all in the many waking hours Iruka had spent up until now had given him any kind of indication of what was to come.
Which was, as it turns out, that while he was walking home through a narrow path in the trees, someone was going to throw a knife at him.
When Iruka managed to open his eyes, he froze.
There was a man pinning Iruka to the tree by his forearm. He had an elaborately painted dog mask, a single blood-red eye, and a second knife poised against Iruka's neck.
Iruka's life was normal. Routine. Boring, even. And he was okay with it. He was satisfied, he really was. All of these feelings of loneliness, or like he didn't belong were just normal graduation anxiety, he's sure.
But then a stranger crashed onto the scene, bringing powerful, long-lost knowledge and a mystery that's centuries old. And suddenly, Iruka finds himself diving headfirst into a world he had only known legends about...with a man unlike anyone he's ever met.
