In the busy country of Japan, lies a certain thousand yard of peaceful island that was meant to be the busiest road in Osaka, but the World War II had ruin the entire plan. After that, the place was left alone as it is. In tens of year it rested with serene, giving spaces for the trees and wild-life growing up in there. Forgotten by the responsible party, it had turn into a thick eerie forest.

But who knows, that there is this group of people living in there since the World War I. They kept their tribe small by having one rule; one parent one child. The Head thought it is safer that way and won't give trouble to outsider if their number grew too big. They lived in small huts between the Black River and the White River.

These rivers had an interesting story told by the tribes.They believed that once, there are twin brothers who were traveling together. Their purpose was to find a golden rabbit that the God sent them for. They were warned that this outstanding creature is a good liar. Every word he told them is a simple smooth trick. The God knew this brother so well that they could be trusted, but if they were to be eaten by the sweet lies, they have to face their punishment no matter what. The brothers agreed and went all over the world looking for this cunning rabbit. It was then when their hair already turn completely grey, their face were full with beard and moustache, they came upon this place. They forced themselves through the wild bushes, cutted here and there by the uncountable torns. But their spirits won't shattered even if they have to face death, they wouldn't give up even if it takes another one hundred years to find the Golden Rabbit. When the night came, they decided to take a rest near a clear river. They washed themselves from the blood and the dirt, afterwards they were ready to get some sleep. But something passed by right under their noses like a lightning. Their eyes flickered wide, searching the thing that just catched their attention.

It was so dark that they could not make out a thing. The younger twin suggested them to sleep on the tree because he is awared that there are dangers await them if they kept on the ground. As they are about to climb a huge tree, the cloud moved, revealing the moon to shone upon them. In that moment, they saw it. Sitting cozily by the river was the golden rabbit. They were paralysed by the discovery as for all these years they have been searching for it. Now that the Golden Rabbit had appeared in front of them, they would not waste any more time. In the blink of an eye, the creature were already in their hands. They couldn't believe it as they thought; this is too easy! They had imagined it the other way round. Anyway, they agreed to take the rabbit back in that instant. But before they had the chance, the rabbit started telling lies and the brothers were deceived. God got really mad and turned both of them into a river. The river they originally found parted half-way, which represent each of the twin which called the White River and Black River. Automatically the starting point called the Twin River. The Black River went on peacefully until the pure water met the salty current of the blue ocean. Meanwhile, the White River flowed hard through level ground and instantly turn into a waterfall when the ground dropped 90° degrees. And it was called a Death Valley, automatically the next river named the river of Grim Reaper.

" For further information check on page 250..."

Kitizawa let out a big heavy sigh. His broad shoulder slumped in annoyance. His eyes caught the tiny notes at the end of the page. He murmured it to himself.

" The lies that the Golden Rabbit told the twin brother is still unknown."

He closed the book quietely and placed it back on the shelves. As for today, he was given an order to clean the library all day by himself. But the library is too freaking huge for him to take care alone. Thus, curses floated all through the library and by the time sunset begun he met upon this book. The book covered were thick and coloured like lichen. It has golden beautiful carved along the book's outline and under the book title. Though the brunette not so sure about it because he could not read the foreign character. The book appeared to hold the history of Silent Wind.

He felt the urge inside him to continue reading but dinner is around the corner and he could not make everyone waiting. Luckily he was done cleaning the library so he figured he should hurry to the dining hall.

When he arrived, everyone were already waiting for him. All eyes fall on him when he timidly pulled a chair.

" I am sorry for joining late." He hastily bowed as representing his apologize but to the Head Butler despair his face was perfectly head-butted with the chestnut forehead. All eyes wide at first as time like frozen but the second the clock tick away the room suddenly filled with laughter.The brunnete face flushed with dark red as emberassment crawled it way.

" Uh, oh! I am so sorry! I don't mean to do that. I am sorry... I, er..." He stutter made everyone boom even louder. The duke's secretaty also twitched his lips to hold back his smile.

Noah rubbed his nose while scrunching up his face in pain. He simply put up his hand gesturing it was alright.

" Nah, it's okay. You arrived just in time. Come on now have your sit already 'cause we all are dead hungry!"

Takaki beamed broadly while bouncing in his chair excitedly over the small portion of food. Kitizawa felt relieved as everyone here are easy-going. They had a relaxing dinner while talking at each other in a low tone, respecting their chilling time. When they finished cleaning the dining hall, all the men fleet to their own room in an instant dreaming of their heaven bed.

Noah has to guide Kitizawa back to his room as the brunette still lacked his memory of the twisted hallway.

Kitizawa chew on his lips when he saw Noah walk up to him. He twirled his hair as a habit when he felt restless.

"Hey, why are you fidgetting like that? Come on now, we don't have all night. You need to have enough rest."

Noah concerned yet soft voice melt away in Kitizawa ears. He felt paralyzed, not knowing what to do. By then, he felt a tiny hand patted his shoulder. He jerked away, surprising the upper man.

"Uh, just that, I am so sorry what happened at the dining table just now. I really don't mean it. So, please don't be mad!" Kitizawa gasped for air as he  blurted it out so fast in one go. His chest rise and fall slightly following his breathing rhythm as he waited for Noah answered.

Instead a small chuckle escaped Noah thin lips.

"What are you so flustered about? It seriously nothing. It was just an accident. I know." He once again patted Kitizawa shoulder while giving him his best smile.

"Then, just let me check it."

Before Noah could load what just Kitizawa said, he felt his chin was tilted upward and eyed with the brown orbs. Kitizawa chestnut hair dipped into his eyes, and some of it pointed out here and there.

Kitizawa hand touched softly at the upper hand cheek as he was so immersed into looking for bruises or bump at Noah nose. Noah could felt Kitizawa hot breath over his slightly parted mouth, that was then he came back to his senses.

Noah does not want to jump the brunette. So he slowly took both of his hand and clasped them firmly hopping it will caught his attention. Kitizawa stared into the ocean eyes.

"I said, its okay." Noah said as calmly as he can. Kitizawa orbs expanded as he realized what he had done. He jumped and muttered sorry to Noah, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Noah ushered him to walk, so they would not waste anymore time and Kitizawa obediently followed Noah words.

" How was your work today? Sorry I couldn't look for you because I was stuck with some annoying document." The upper man tried to start their conversation to break the silence.

" Well, works are hard but I oddly enjoyed it!" And he started telling Noah about his boring adventures in the library through out their little walk.

Noah eyes glittered in the dark as he smiled stupidly over the newbie. When it was about time to bid goodbye, Noah stuck out his feet and jammed Kitizawa door from closing. The brunette looked confused.

" What's wrong, sir? May I help you with something?" Kitizawa ease up the door giving more space to Noah. Noah shrugged as he look past him.

" I am just curious with your background. Won't you tell me?" . Kitizawa tried to read the passion of Noah on knowing his past. In the coldness of the night, their eyes met. Kitizawa could see the abyss shone on the determination among the azure eyes. The brunette was dazed and drown in his eyes, his hand found its own way to the upper man chin. Tilting Noah head to one side, Kitizawa close in his face as his lips barely touch the other man earlobe and breath out smoothly. Noah shuddered at the sudden hot breezed that touched his ear and neck.

Amused by the reaction, he whispered.

"Are you really that curious about what type of man am I?"

The moon shone upon though only half of it appear. Far away in the forest, the owl hoot-hooting to each other, either for danger or prey. Lurking in the dark was the wolf whose never miss it prey. Intensely making all type of trick to deceive the other as it howl away.

" Yes, I am." Noah steadily stare back at the brunette. It felt like time had stopped and both of them are the only one there in the world.

Kitizawa tugged the upper man sleeve as he says. " Then I shall open the curtain to my mask first." He then lead their way into his room. When the door was firmly closed, a silhoutte appear in front of it, glimmering with evil smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kitizawa Taiga was the name given, on sixth of December he was born. He lead a totally normal life in a small country where they could see the ocean everyday. This country was so peaceful and serene. They keep the environment safe where flora and fauna could grow in silence. When Kitizawa was a kid, he had already known as a delinquent in that country. He likes to pick on other kids, doodling his foolish art on the wall and get into a fight with the grown up. There was this one time he made the high schooler fall into a huge pit that full of water. That incident lead his thug-like life. There was no one day that he would not encounter with the high schooler who was holding grudge againts him.

Though, he would not listen to anyone even after being scolded strictly by his parents. When he barely reach the age of ten, he lost both of his father and mother, the only souls that left for him. It was all blamed on the horror accident of two train that slipped out of their own rail. The news gave a big impact to many people including the orphan Kitizawa Taiga, leaving him with nothing but loneliness. Because of his behaviour, he does not have a single friend. Even the kind one was scared with him. The neighbouring tried to ask him living with them, but he refused. He wanted to take care of himself, even so the pain won't go away. So one day, he pick up a fight with the most known group in his school. That was the day he met Ichio Sakura.

On that day, he takes her hand and was officially a member of that group. They call themselves Tetsu no Kabe that stand for Iron Wall. The reason they build it in the first place because they wanted to prevent bullies. So he really enjoyed beating it out on them until they promise not to cause problem anymore.

The leader was Ichio Sakura, a brave and strong-willed girl with long silky black hair and electric blue eyes. The right hand was Wasabi Fuu who'd grew his hair until it reach his spine. The helper were Ayame Miasuki and Nanao Haku. And Kitizawa was merely a reserved member. And the idea itself did not went well with the boy himself.

But he does not mind it. He really had fun with his friends who he'd share his happiness and sadness with. Sadly, the joy only lasted for a moment when some years later the blue ayes girl moved away and the group fell apart. Even they tried so hard to sew back the pieces, they just could no longer face the truth and always started a fight when they see each other faces. And each one of them slowly leaving behind their memory, that included the lonely Kitizawa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He stopped for a moment, and sigh. He sigh again as he lift his heavy eyelid pondering over the shining moon, wishing that he could run from  this misery that haunted him. A snore sliced the stillness of the night as the brunette perk up, wondering if the upper man has fallen asleep. And to his surprise, Noah was sprawled over his bed, shoved into a deep sleep.

"You are all beat up, yet you still wanted to hear about my lousy past life. Though I don't wanna remember it anymore." He gritted his teeth, for a moment his face washed with pain and disgust. He hovered tiredly over the sleeping man and mumble.

" Are you sure you have chosen the best choice? It could hurt you even more ya know?"

He brushed his long slender yet rough finger along Noah jawline, memorizing his face, his breath, his calmness and his defenseless self.

He laid on his back and stare out the window, counting as many stars as he could. But everytime he start to count, it seems like more and more stars come around. As his eyes getting heavier and heavier at each passing time, he finally gave up and crawled into the warm sheets to keep the cold away. He could feel the heat that radiated from the upper man slowly crawling over his body. He felt the urge to just wrap his hand around him so they could share their warmness. But his sense kept him from being drown by that feeling.

"How could I betray you when you completely trust me? "
