Prompt: Black
Kuroh has been in the city for a week in search of his master's successor. He is still weak and cold after a bout of fever during which he dreamt of his peaceful days with Ichigen-sama. The anxiety and grief of the last few days have given way to a strange tranquility and Kuroh allows himself to rest for a bit, to regain his strength. His dream reminded him of what Ichigen had taught him so long ago and he knows he must take care of himself if he is to seek out the new king. He smiles sadly and promises his master he won't go out into the rain again.
His sword lies in the corner of the room. He finishes the canned fruit left for him and reaches for it and holds it close. He feels that he is close to the end of his quest.
Tying up his black hair into a simple ponytail, Kuroh takes a deep breath. Already he can feel his strength returning. And with it, a sense of urgency. His master had given him this task before he died. The Black Dog will make sure he completes it. Very soon now, he will either pledge loyalty to the new Colorless King or he will slay him.
