Fiction - ON HIATUS

by orangeyhairedimmortal

Shirokana Gensuiki always sees them, the people in black. They hop around Karakura Town and vanquish weird creatures. His friend, Ichigo, goes with them but Shiro is busy with his own vigilante works in the alleys of town to care about that. Until one day, Ichigo goes missing. Shiro is convinced it's the people in black but soon he sees that not everything is what it seems.

1. Prologue: The Dream

I have a dream every night of a man dressed as a samurai wielding a beautiful blade. I watch him from the shadows, wanting to say something but I cannot get the courage to say anything. I sit on the boulder under the cherry blossoms and watch him swing his sword about when he stops and stares in my direction. Suddenly, out of nowhere, all the cherry blossoms fall from the trees but they condense together to form a floating cloud. The samurai then begins to control them, the blossoms moving in unison to and fro, around and around.

Then he speaks to me.

"Wake up you fool, your life isn't real!"

And then I wake up in my bed, dripping sweat and shaking. I wonder who the samurai is and what the dream means but I haven't been able to get a clear answer as of yet.
