Genma sat up right with his legs straight out in front of him. He was sitting in the grass, perhaps in a meadow? He could only see his legs, his feet, and the grass that swayed between his ankles and on either side of his legs. It looked daylight, like the sun was high up in the sky. And as he looked up, the rest of the scenery flashed out of proportion as he glanced it to look at the sky, he noted the lovely blue sky with the beautiful, giant clouds that passed by, covering him in their massive shadows. Indeed, the sun was high in the sky, and the breeze was absolutely marvelous. He loved this sort of weather. Not too cold, and not hot at all. Just perfect for a lovely walk through the outskirts, or even the village itself, of the Hidden Leaf.
Genma looked down again, away from the sky, and at his surroundings. This time it did not flash out of proportion. It was a meadow. Hills, grass...and a single oak tree in the middle of it all on top of a small hill. Farther out, the meadow was surrounded with forest. Genma squinted at the tree, he could see a black figure standing against its awesome trunk. Who was this dark figure?
Genma pushed himself up and began to walk towards the tree, unaware that every step he took caused the scenery behind him to turn into a fiery red apocalypse. As he stepped nearer to the one at the tree, he finally realized it was his love! It was Hayate!
"Hayate! You're alive! Oh, God, Hayate!" He brought his hands up to his face, running his hands through his hair. He began to sob as he ran towards his friend. When they were but five feet from each other, Hayate was looking up at the tree. His expression almost reminding Genma of death. Hayate looked down at him, his eyes wide, and his mouth agape. An expressionless noise came from his throat as he closed his mouth to smile sweetly. Genma hardly noticed these strange things that Hayate was showing, and just as he touched Hayate's arm to hug him, Hayate's chest exploded with blood. Genma screamed. Hayate was once again leaning against the tree, his body sliding down to sit as he died. One knee up, the other straight out. His arms were limp at his sides. Genma took a step backwards, blood all over his clothes and his face. He was sobbing again. As he took that fatal step back, he found himself in the apocalypse that he had created. Hayate was no more the full, human being that had his chest burst, but now, Hayate began to stand. His flesh began to decay. He had a terrible look of evil in his eyes and the more Genma stepped behind himself, the more everything in front of him began to burst into flames and decay. Hayate brushed a hand across Genma's bloody face, and he could feel his cheeks on fire. Hayate took a kunai and...
"Genma, wake up! It's OK!" Raidou was on top of Genma, shaking his upper body to wake him up. He knew this was a bad thing to do; waking someone up while they slept. But he could no longer take the screaming. It was tearing him up because he could bet his life on the thought that Genma was dreaming of Hayate. Genma screamed once more and tried to punch Raidou, but he was held down. He could not move. Genma began to cry again.
"Raidou, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean... I didn't mean to try and hit you..." Genma felt like such a horrible person. He was totally messed up. He couldn't keep himself up anymore. He felt weak and emotionally torn.
I hope this didn't confuse any of you, and I hope this isn't going too fast. :( If you still need help on figuring out who these people are, you should probably check 'em out on Google or currently working on the 5th chapter right now! I'd love some reviews.
