Prologue


Petals of the cherry blossom tree fell like dying flames on the water's surface. The Moon stared bleakly at its own reflection, sometimes becoming disfigured by movement in the river. There was the distant ring of history behind the wooden bridge as it creaked softly with the voices of the wind.

From the sky, the beating of wings could be heard, and all of a sudden a figure cast a shadow on the bridge. He had a passive expression on his face and smiled, feeling the wind run through his ebony hair. But the moon exposed his true feelings with its light, as his eyes glinted with a sorrowful glow.

"When will it be when someone sees me?" He questioned to the expressionless moon, but regretted it soon after when he felt a familiar presence behind his back. There was a low growl of warning.

"Even if there was someone, you aren't to go near them."

"I know."

He looked up at the fading stars. Dawn was near. They're going to wake up soon.

"I know, Hibari."
