Prologue
By A Unique Kunoichi
I felt myself slipping away from my body as my eyes fluttered shut. Just slipping… It was a sensation I'd never felt before, but I knew what it was. Dying.

For that very reason, I accepted death's numbing embrace and submitted. I submitted to death for Zabuza.
The last thing I saw before my eyes closed were the white snowflakes that had begun to fall from the sky.
It was then that I realized I was crying.
