Kurotsume was up against an army. From every square inch the eye could see, enemies came lunging at him. His scythe in hand, he swung it effortlessly and diced up one enemy ninja after another. The more he cut up, the stronger he seemed to get. The enemies stopped in their tracks and sunk into the ground. In front of Kurotsume, the leader of the group came from the endless darkness. She wore a mask to hide her face, and wielded a double-bladed sword. The two stared each other down for what seemed like minutes. They ran for each other at the exact same time and just before their weapons clashed, Kurotsume was woken up by his alarm clock.
He lazily turned it off and got out of bed. Head rubbed his forehead and looked at himself in the mirror. "Same dream four nights in a row." he muttered to himself. It would be impossible for him to go back to sleep now, so he got dressed, grabbed a quick bite to eat and he was out the door. There hadn't been too many good missions to take recently, none that weren't already taken that is.
Bored out of his mind, he decided to take a walk around the village, praying to God that he didn't run into Kaoru along the way.
