"Susano-kun"
"Humans…are nothing but trashes…"
"He broke the one rule that I forbid the entire Heavens child do."
'Who is it…?'
"SETSUNA! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES!"
"But father, Susano doesn't deserve any of this. I can understand why he wants to destroy the humans once and for all but to punish him for his entire life…I do not think that justify of his actions. He's a kind god who loves the living beings…he deserves a chance to live his lifetime out of the cage…"
"I love you, Susano-kun"

“Ojou-sama, you shouldn't be walking around just yet. You need to rest. Your father will be furious if you don’t get more rests” Totsuka frowned as he pushed the little lady of his, back into the bedroom as he shoved her into the bed, covering her body with the peach colored blanket.
She furrowed as she pushed the blanket down, she looked at her childhood friend aka her personal butler who grew up together with her, “Mizu-chan, you worry too much. I’m already fine.” He frowned at the nickname, “Please don’t call me that.” He reminded her. She grinned at him; she knows he does not like to be call as such ever since he volunteered to be her butler/attendant after several of the butlers and maids in the past quitted due to her playful demeanor.
“Then, you should stop calling me Ojou-sama.” He sighed as his shoulder fell, “If that would get you to rest, then fine. Setsuna.” He grumbles. He often wonders how he can befriend with this carefree girl for such a long time but at the same time, his heart grew fond of this girl.
‘Setsuna…’
She snapped out of her thoughts. She looked outside the window as she furrowed. Totsuka straightened his back as he pulls the blanket over her, urging her to lay down, “Setsuna, what’s wrong…?” he followed her line of sight out of the glass window, trying to find what she was looking at.
“I don’t know…I just heard someone calling for me…” her sea blue orbs searching for the source of the voice but she could not, “Who…?” he asked. He could have sworn no one was calling for his young lady since only the two of them in the large bedroom, so how did she.
He cleared his throat. “I’m sure it’s just in your head.” She looked at him as he urged her to rest, “Get some rest for now. Your father has requested me to assist him in some of his work. I must see to it that you rest, and then I will excuse myself for the time being.” Then he excused himself.
The wave’s hits hard onto the cliffs. Her heart felt heavy seeing the ocean she loves so much looking so rough, never in her entire life of living beside the ocean has she seen it like this. The ocean has always been calm and gentle. She sighed as she finally lay down onto the bed, her blue orbs stares at the white ceiling; slowly she fell asleep upon the sound of the sea waves.
.
.
“No one understands. Everyone only judges people by what’s on the outside.”
“They’re only thinking for themselves!”
“Trusting is … for idiots!”
"Thank you, for being my friend."
“Setsuna.”
.
.
She woke up abruptly by the loud waves of the ocean. She pants lightly as she looked around the room. Her chest heaves heavily as she frowned, “What was that dream…why does it keep coming back to me…?” she looked outside. Sunset has fall, replaced by the bright moonlight and the dark blanket in the sky and yet the sea kept getting rowdy.
‘Setsuna…’
There again, the voice has been calling for her, the same voice that was in her dreams. She looked at the ocean, the voice came from one direction, and it was from the ocean. She gets up and changes her clothing; quietly she snuck out of the mansion. Making sure no one around, she quickly made a quick dash towards the small gate behind the mansion.
“What in the world are you doing out here, SHIROSAKI SETSUNA OJOU-SAMA?” a stern voice appears behind her. She yelped as she quickly turns around. Her shoulder fell the moment her sea blue orbs falls onto none other than her childhood friend slash personal attendant, Totsuka Mizuki. Still clothed in his daily butler uniform, he glares at the lady, demanding answers.
“I-I…well…just want to have a stroll for fresh air?” she sweat dropped. He sighed, “By sneaking behind the mansion?” her smile fell, “Sorry…but I must go out there to the beach!” she added, trying to pass though the small gate that was being block by her childhood friend well built body.
He frowned, “And why is that? If your father knows you are sneaking out again in this kind of weather, he will never let you out of the mansion ever again, did you not remember what happened the last time you did that? He was already furious that I let you go onto that cliff!” he quickly recollects himself for semi yelling at the girl.
He knows perfectly well that Setsuna is a free girl who loves her freedom. Setsuna has lost her mother out in the ocean when they went for sailing. She fell into the ocean when the waves suddenly hit the boat to the side. It took them days to find her body but it hit Setsuna a lot especially her father who lost his beloved wife. He took Setsuna away from Australia and brought her to Japan, which was when they met the Totsuka’s family who are loyal in serving the family.
One day, Setsuna snuck out of the large mansion while her father was away for business travels. The mansion did not have much maids/butlers or security like now, so he was not aware that she was out of the mansion. She nearly drowned in the sea when a wave caught her small body and dragged it down towards the ocean. If he did not rush to her aide in time, she would have probably been dead by now but thank god, she is not. Since then, he has been keeping a close eye on her.
She looked at the taller male, “I know I’ve been troubling you a lot since we were kids but this is something I must go see myself. Please, Mizuki…” she bowed. Her heart felt restless, it kept pounding senselessly. The voices she has been hearing, the dreams she has been having, and the cold hands she felt once earlier, she needs an answer to all of these. He looked at her then to the outside where the gate leads to the seashores down the hills.
He cleared his throat from the lump stuck inside, “Alright, but only if I accompany you and see to it that you made it back to home safely, understood?” the blonde girl nodded vigorously as she quickly dashed out of the gate, followed by the silver haired butler who’s regretting his actions.
________________
In the large hall of the heaven, stood two Gods facing the ruler of the Heaven, Zeus who finally spoke after minutes in deep thoughts, “Apollon, Tsukuyomi. You both are to descend onto the Earth to search for Susano, the God of The sea and Storm that I once sealed underneath the ocean and bring him to me at once.”
The blonde haired God of the Sun frowned, “Why, father?” Tsukuyomi, whose hair is the colors of the beautiful lavenders on Earth merely stood there, wait for further explanations. He as the older brother of the God of the Sea, understands what has happened to his beloved brother as he was there, watching from afar as Zeus sealed Susano deep underneath the ocean.
“Such dangerous God as Susano must not be allowed to walk on Earth freely as he is nothing more than empty shell. He might harm the Earth like he did before to search for his heart.” The older god explained as he sat down on his chair, “But father, he saved the human girl even without having a heart, isn’t that enough to show he is potential to build his own heart than searching for the one he once owned?” Apollon was immediately silent by his father staff hilt, which hits onto the ground of the heavens as it echoes angrily at him. He looked down onto the white floor, “Just bring him to me. If you disobey this orders, heavy punishment shall befallen upon you two. That is all, you both are dismissed.” He vanished from the seat in front of them as both of their eyes still glued to the white floors of the heavens.
“Poor Susano…it would have been better if he stayed the way he is now…” Apollon sighed sadly, as he began to make his way to the entrance of the hall, leaving the God of the Moon to his own thoughts.
Tsukuyomi, known as the God of the Moon are renowned for his stoic expressions and tone. Some may thinks he is emotionless but he was not. He only showed it to the ones he deeply cares, and that would be Susano, his brother currently hunted by many Gods and Goddess of the Heavens. His brother has always been a free spirit but often being chain down to his duty as the God of the Sea and Storms. He turns around and heads towards the entrance.
“Being a god…is a curse…”
__________________________
Both Setsuna and her childhood friend ran towards the source of the voice that has been playing in her mind. Her sea blue orbs looked around worriedly, while Totsuka made sure she doesn’t slipped off the rocky cliffs along the seashore.
“What exactly are we searching for?” the butler asked as he ran after the smaller girl. He wonders where she got all the energy to run after a whole day. Setsuna stopped abruptly, Totsuka walked into her back, almost knocking her down if he didn’t caught her in time, “Why did you stoppe—“ his silver orbs glued to something a few feet away on the seashore.
The rough wave of the sea hits the cliffs and drags everything down with it, except for something or someone lying on the shore. The two friends furrowed at what they never imagined to see in their entire life, soft blue light covers the person entire body, protecting him from the dangers of the waves and sea creatures that may drifted to the shore during the rowdy waves. The unconscious body did not even budge when the waves hits him.
“That’s no human being…” The silver head broke the tension but Setsuna quickly tries to get down the rocky cliffs, “WHAT IN HEAVEN’S NAME ARE YOU TRYING TO DO GOING DOWN THERE?!” he grabbed her arms and pull her back up. She protested, “I need to get him out of there, he’s going to die of hyperthermia if we let him lay there all night long!”
This is why he should not have let her out of the mansion! She is so STUBBORN! “You don’t even know if that’s a human being or not! He could be dangerous! And the sea waves isn’t easing up, your father would have my head feed to the lions if you get swept away!” his grips tightens up. One of these days, he is going to grow white hairs, no thanks to Setsuna.
“He’s not dangerous!” she barked. He could feel migraines coming up if they do not stop this. He glares at her stubbornness. He frowned when he noticed the stubbornness in her sea blue eyes; he gave up, “Look, you stay here. I will go down and get him. You hold onto this, I don’t think I can get up on the cliffs with someone else weight on me without your help.” He grabs a tree trunk some sort, making sure it is strong enough to withstand two weights of a man without hurting his young mistress soft hands.
With the help of Setsuna, he carefully climbs down the cliffs, watching his steps and then to the seashore where the unconscious teen lays unmoving. He bit his lower lip as he felt the chillness of the water hitting his back the moment he lets go off his grip on the rocky cliffs, ‘Damn it all, I’m gonna give this brat a lesson if he ever wakes up!’ he mentally grumbles as he swam towards the teen. The waves kept pushing him away but he was getting close. The moment the teen was within his reach; Totsuka grabbed onto him and pull the boy closer.
The blue light around the teen body slowly gave out. He furrowed at the sudden temperature drop on the boy body. Summoning each ounce of his strength, he swim back to where the lady waiting as he tries to grab a hold of the trunk he gave her earlier. Setsuna gasped, “Mizu-chan, watch out!” she warned, he looked behind when he saw more sea waves coming towards them, quickly he tries to grab a hold of the trunk but with the boy weight and his, it’s hard to keep afloat like this.
The impact of the waves hits them hard as the smaller girl quickly grabbed a hold of the butler’s dress shirt and hold on tight to it, not letting go of them. She tries pulling them up but she could manage so much, “Mi—Mizu-chan! GRAB ONTO SOMETHING! I CAN’T HOLD ON TO YOU MUCH LONGER!” she gritted her teeth as she tries to hold on to it tighter. Totsuka quickly grabs onto the cliffs and with everything he has, he pull both him and the boy up onto the hill, away from the seashore.
He collapsed onto the ground as he panted heavily, feeling sore all over his body and winced at the wounds on his shoulder and his legs which bleeds severely from the sharp rocks from the cliffs due to the waves impact earlier. He could hear the blonde haired childhood friend of his calling for him. He could hear several heavy footsteps running towards them. He could hear someone telling him to stay awake. His visions blurred slightly as he shift his gaze from the teen he saved earlier to Setsuna whose lips moving frantically. He could not hear her words as everything fell into white noise.
He chuckled as he pants, “This would …be the last time… I would…let you…out…” slowly he fell unconscious.
“MIZU-CHAN!”

The loud bang onto the work desk startled the house staff outside their master’s studies. Clearly, the lord of the house is furious at his only daughter reckless actions a few hours ago, “Did you have any idea that your reckless and brainless actions would cost lives! Not only had you put Mizuki life in danger but yours as well!” the older man roared.
If he did not send his other butlers and bodyguards to search for his daughter, Totsuka would have been bleeding to death by now while the other teen would have died of hyperthermia. He sat down on his leather seat; he looked at his daughter whose sea blue orbs bores holes onto the carpeted floor of the room.
He sighed, “I know you meant well on saving the boy’s life but you must remember that you can live only once. Next time do think wisely before you rush to such reckless actions else you will regret it. Make sure you won’t repeat this behavior ever again, understand?” Setsuna eyelids lowers, she knows she is at wrong. It was her fault to begin with, else Totsuka would not have gotten hurt this bad…
“I understand, Papa…” She mumbles quietly.
The older man frowned, feeling bad of rising his tone towards his only daughter and looking at her like this making him feel a lot worst, “You’re dismissed for the evening. Go get some rest. That’s the least you could do for Mizuki.”
She bowed down politely to her father, “Goodnight, Papa” she excused herself from the study. Then, a butler enters, older than Totsuka. The man bowed to the head of the house, “Souichiro-sama.” He addressed the dark browned haired colored man who sat opposite him, Shirosaki Souichiro, “Kotaro, pour me some coffee,” he walks up towards the window, looking at the ocean which seems to have calmed down.
“It’s hard for a man to raise a daughter.” He chuckled. Kotaro, who has been serving the man for many years smiled, “Indeed it is but at the same time you’ll watch them bloom into the most beautiful flower there is.” He gave the coffee cup to his master, who sipped it gratefully.
“It feels like yesterday where she’s just a baby and today when I looked at her, she’s already in her teens…”he sighed, feeling a little down, “A parent often feels that way, danna- sama. It is only natural to feel as such. Time passed without us knowing it.” Kotaro replied as he took the coffee cup from his master. The older Shirosaki turns around as he looks at a photo frame where his former beloved wife and his daughter hug each other together with the ocean glitters beautifully behind them. Their smiles often brighten his day.
“How is Mizuki and the other boy doing?” he puts the frame back onto the study table and focused onto a more serious matter. Kotaro nodded politely, Totsuka-kun currently asleep, his wounds will heal soon. Doctor has confirmed that he is not in any life threatening wounds except he would be need a lot of rest due to over exhaustion on his body. While the other boy also suffered the same damage as Totsuka-kun, we manage to get his temperature back to normal, but the Doctor reminded that it’s best to keep the boy warm for a few more days until he’s awake and on the oxygen supports as he was barely breathing when we found him,” He explained briefly as Shirosaki hummed.
He tapped onto the table for a few second, “That’s good news. Make sure the two of them receive proper care and nourishments when they are awake. Mizuki are excuse from his duty until he is completely heal, as for the boy, keep an eye on him. His identity is unknown so who knows who he is or what he is to be on the seashore at this kind of hour.” He walked towards the door. Kotaro bowed, acknowledging his master’s orders, “Yes, danna-sama. Have a good evening.” The door shut closed upon his greeting.
________________________
Setsuna gently wipes the scarred face of her dear childhood friend, Totsuka Mizuki who is in a deep sleep. Exhausted from the evening incident, bandages covered parts of his forehead, his shoulder and on his right calf. Several scratches on his face and chest tainted the once cleared smooth skin of his. She frowned at the injuries inflicted on him, all because of her stubbornness.
“Ojou-sama.” Kotaro nudged her on her shoulder; her train of thoughts broke as she turns around. “You should be in bed by now. Rest assures that the maids will take turns in watching over him.” He smiled warmly at the young lady. Setsuna hesitantly nodded as she puts down the cool wipes onto the table, “Goodnight, Mizu-chan…” she gave him a last glance before leaving for her bedroom.
…
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
She abruptly stopped at the sound of the heart monitor and the shallow breathing of the unknown teen in the guest room. The door were slightly open, she peeked in. The only sound from the room was the beeping from the monitor and the oxygen support; quietly she approached the unconscious teen whose greenish blue locks fell to the side, covering parts of his right eyelids while his long tail hair spread onto the soft pillow supporting his head. A shade of color, she never saw on anyone’s hair before. He was slightly tan but still pale from the hyperthermia he had earlier.
The wounds and scares on his body made her mood even soured. She sighed at her uselessness, she then stroke his bangs away from his eyelids, giving her a clear look on his face, ‘Who are you…why did the sea calmed almost an instant the moment we took you out of the shore…?’
The sound of the clock rang, down the hallway signaling it was already eleven at night, she decided to head to bed before the head butler found her here. Making her way towards the door, she glanced at him worriedly. She could not pin point it but for some reason, she felt as if she knew him but at the same time, she doesn’t. Deciding it was better for her to leave, she closes the door, leaving the teen along in the large guest room where no one but him and the machines monitoring his health, although she didn’t noticed someone else was there at the corner of the room, hidden in the shadows.
…
“I’m glad that you’re safe and sound, dear brother.” A stoic voice emerged from the shadows, slowly the moonlight shines into the room, brightened it up, as it reveals none other than the God of the Moon, Tsukuyomi who is also the brother of the unconscious teen who was the God of the Sea and Storm, Susano. The violet haired god approached his brother who was still deep asleep, breathing into the oxygen mask shallowly. Tsukuyomi grimaced slightly at the sight of his younger brother who looks so helpless.
.
.
“Such dangerous God as Susano must not be allow to walk on Earth freely”
“He saved the human girl even without having a heart, isn’t that enough to show he is potential to build his own heart!”
“If you disobey this orders, heavy punishment shall befallen upon you two.”
“Poor Susano…it would have been better if he stayed the way he is now…”
.
.
His golden orbs shifts to his brother. His inner self conflicted to his duty as the God of the Moon and as the brother to Susano. He looked at his hands then it touched the chest of the unconscious god. His hands began to glow in beautiful purple lights as it slowly goes into Susano’s chest where his heart once was.
“My powers are not as great like Zeus or Apollon but I believe that the charm I casted on you, will be able to keep you hidden from Zeus eyes.” He mumbles quietly then his thoughts interrupted by the sound of the doorknob slowly being open. Then, he looked at Susano, hesitated to leave his brother in the hands of humans but he has no choice, “Stay safe, dear brother of mine.” He gave his dear brother a last glance before the disappearing within the moonlight.
________________
Two days later, the doctor with a condition finally released Totsuka from bed confinement, he must not exert his body, and the older Shirosaki approached the young butler, ordering him that he is not allow to work until all of the wounds and his doctor declares that he is allowed to walk around without the help of the walking cane. The young butler sighed at his predicament, not only he is bored, but also he is not allowed to do any chores around the mansion.
Much to his delight, Setsuna has been accompanying him in the library and bringing him his meals to his room. He knows she felt guilty of what has happened but he cannot do much about it; part of the incident was his fault to blame. Whenever he was asleep, Setsuna would sneak out of the room and went to the other teen room, where she would wipe his face, arms and chest since the boy was still deep asleep. He somehow regains some colors back to his tanned skin but he shows no sign of waking up.
“Setsuna…?” he calls out for the blonde haired girl who has been staring out to the calm ocean. She turns around as she plastered a smile, “Hmm?” she sat down on the bench. He looked at her worriedly, “Is something the matter?”
Her eyes widens a few second before it softens. She smiled, “Nothing’s wrong. I am just glad that the ocean has finally calmed down. ” She looked at the vast blue ocean that spreads in front of the verandas of the mansion. Totsuka heart saddens, not only Setsuna began to pretend that nothing’s on her mind, she even put a fake smile on her beautiful face. He sighed inwardly.
“How about we take a walk to the beach in a few minute-“
“Ojou-sama, the boy is finally awake!” one of the maids came onto the veranda, interrupting their conversation. Both of them furrowed, as they immediately rushed to the guest room where the young guest is.
…
When they arrived, Kotaro was helping the teen holding the glass of water, while the boy sipped vigorously as if he has not drank in days. After giving the boy some space, Setsuna approached the bed. The unknown teen seems not to notice her as his empty amber orbs looked outside where the vast ocean is.
The head butler slightly slouched down, “We tried asking for his name but he doesn’t respond and the doctor is on his way,” Kotaro whispered to her.
She noticed the longing look on his orbs. It was different from his expressionless face. Something about those orbs made her felt nostalgic. Totsuka growled inwardly as he watched his lady approached the boy, “Ano…I hope you don’t mind me asking…but what’s your name…?” she trails off.
Empty amber orbs met lively sapphire orbs. It was the begining of an ending.
“I don’t know.”
