The two fell in love and escaped the war to get married and start a family together. They lived in peace by border of Ignis and Aqua. When Hiiro got 14-years old though, they got found out. Minako had hidden her son away before they got taken away to get executed. Hiiro lived on the streets for a few years afterwards. He gained his money by doing small jobs and whilst he did that, he learned how the real world was; unfair and hard. He decided he wanted to help others from experiencing the same things as him; losing your parents and living on the streets. That's why he became Masked Cat, a unidentified mysterious hero who helps others out with their problems. He eventually got enough money to buy his own house and live a normal life again.
