Hello everyone! Welcome to my new D. Gray man fic. I promised myself that I would finish writing up the story first and then publish it, but I'm going to go ahead and publish up to the first chapter. I am such a hypocrite! I wish I could finally follow out my plan instead of being so impatient. *stomps foot in frustration* Now I'm just rambling…

Anyways, I had a hard time coming up with my settings in this story. Eventually, I finally developed two:

*Seattle, WA (Because I needed a place that was very rainy.)

And *Issaquah, WA (After looking at some pictures, it seemed like a wonderful place to have the setting of the story in. I have never been there myself, but with the way I am going to describe it, it's going to be in a fictional sense. So if my description is not pin-point accurate, please do not blame me. I'm sure it's a wonderful place to live.)

**Falling, Falling Snow**

~Prologue~

Why did the sky weep? How did it know his feelings? A stray tear slid down his cheek. He wept as the rain seeped into his white locks and kissed his pale cheeks.

He thought of himself being orphaned, how his parents left him for dead in an alley. He was thankful for a local sister of the church discovering his small, fragile body lying there in a box made of wood half rotted. His wails had screamed out for someone, anyone that would help him; he wanted his mother. At last someone had come…

The years after that were torture. Hardly anyone in the monastery acknowledged him. There was one exception however, brother Mana.

He treated the boy with kindness, as a father would. It was from Mana that the boy received his name, Allen… But Mana was now gone with everyone else. Allen had once again been abandoned.

Ironically, Allen was now sitting in an alley. It was at that moment, he realized just how much he missed everyone from the church. They had been his family for several years, but now they were gone, and he missed them.

In that alley, he felt as is he was back where he started, all alone. That was when a shadow loomed over him. The rain stopped, yet Allen's tears continued to fall. The streaks they left behind glistened as he looked up at the stranger.

"You okay, kid?" Through the darkness and smoke, Allen could only see a small, red light more than likely from a cigeratte.

"Who… Who are you?"
