Prologue: Flower Rain

The wind swept through the sakura trees, a light zephyr that wove its invisible way through the branches. It was gentle yet that light brief caress was strong enough to dislodge the delicate flowers; scattering dismembered petals upon the ground. A white figure made his way slowly through the swirling rain of fallen flowers, strolling leisurely. He stretched out one pale hand so fair that the skin seemed to glow with a translucent sheen and grasped a handful of petals. Slender long fingers curled and clenched ever tighter to crush the fragile pink blossoms before letting the remnants slip through.

Fragile... so fragile...

The broken petals swirled away from him, caught once again by another draft of wind before. The same pale hand raised once again but this time to brush aside strands of platinum silver hair, revealing eyes of a darker mercurial shade. Yet these eyes, one of flesh and one of glass, were no windows to the soul within. Like two pieces of cold beautiful silver crystals, they held not feelings but unfathomable secrets. Yet as they surveyed the poignant ephemeral beauty, the expression they held seemed almost melancholic.

Every season the sakura falls...

I remember...

So many memories...

He smiled somewhat self-depreciating and continued to walk, his hands thrust into the deep pockets of his white trench coat. Perhaps it had just all been a coincidence but most of the significant events of his life occurred during the times when the sakura bloomed and withered. Muraki Kazutaka lit a cigarette and reminisced as he took a breath and drew the white smoke into his lungs.

Memories...

Author's note:

I know this is terribly short but bear with me since I was working on the fic as a one whole piece before I decided to break it into chapters. The better parts are coming right up!
