A/N: I've never tried to do a DTB fanfiction, so in this light please be patient for me.

-Prologue-
~Snow~
Softly falling…
It fell slowly, the snow flakes that covered Tokyo with its first snowfall of the season, the first blanket of white untouched and new to the world as a child. A barren field void of any other being but the black figure in stark contrast to that of the white as the it paused, footsteps disturbing the peace as the male knelt, letting down the bundle he had been carrying as eyes reflecting the azure blue sky closed off from the world, leaving behind a single tear that fell to the pale skin below him.
He failed.
He failed her.
It was a slow process, his coat discarded as he struck the soil, moving snow and dirt alike as the hole formed before him, a hole he should not have ever been forced to resort to. A hole that should not be there, for what the void meant….for whom an unmarked grave would be designated for.
He failed.
He failed her.
"Good bye…Yin."
He left her there, under the cold soil and snow, the only thing he could do in his last farewell as he left the field, left the snow to fall over the unmarked grave. No one would know she was there…nothing but the single flower that grew there, waving in the wind of the night, as the clouds parted to show the stars…fake stars. One was absent from the sky, more fell with each moment, each the life of a contractor cut short, ended just as the fire was put out.
Author's Note: Very much a prologue, short and to the point. This is slightly after the third season, but may also involve things from the manga. I took liberty in killing off Yin, though I'm sure it would have happened in the anime anyways.
