Description

      It was a vivid spring day as Kiyoshi wander to his apartment from the nearest corner store in his neighborhood. The breeze blew harshly against his skin, making him shiver and move his hair from his face. He has this lonely-sad feeling coming from him as he walk about towards the apartment complex. Arriving at the three story apartment complex that stood out from most regular apartments in town, with the red and white roses creeping up the sides and the front of the building. Most people that saw it thought a prince or a princess lived here. the deteriorating wall that wrapped around this medieval times looking building, was coated in vines. Just as Kiyoshi approached the cast iron gate this lively boy with short choppy blonde hair, pounces on Kiyoshi, almost knocking him to the ground. Yet Kiyoshi not startle from this blonde, he let a small giggle escape his pink tinted lips along with the whispered name Yogi. The tall boy lets go and releases a loud chuckle in his cheerful voice "you don't get scared that easy, do you? Shi-chan." Kiyoshi's face gets slightly pink from yogi's comment and a light smile appears on his pale fair face as he slowly walks in the vine cover iron gate saying " How can I get scared when your the only one that talks to me?" with a loud snicker the blonde that was a quickly trying to catch up to the short boy ahead "your so calm about this.....Yet your beautiful and dainty like a girl, I bet you have a lot of stalkers and people that love you." digging in his pocket, still running the words the blonde said in his mind, he withdrew a pair of keys. "yogi....stop saying such meaningless things..." he mumbles as he reaches towards the sealed decaying iron door. As the smaller boy opened the door, the blonde took the lead and strolled pass the boy, saying " your so adorable, Shi-chan" with a smirk on his face, Yogi kicks off his shoes in one swift move and starts towards the kitchen. Kiyoshi stands at the door with a rosy tint filling his cheeks, he stares at the blonde. He hastily took off one of his shoes, catapult it at the back of the blonde's head before he disappear into the kitchen. In response to his boldness yogi yells out " Kiyoshi!.....what the heck was that for?!?!" Glaring at the blonde he takes his other shoe off in the dim lighted place and tread down the hall to his room, which from first glance that he was a writer and he loved reading, with out saying a word to the blonde. Walking in he stumbled over some old books he read in the past, to his computer. Sighing at the screen, only knowing his manuscript was due in twenty-four hours and he was behind 20 pages, which meant an all nighter. Yogi steps in the untidy room with a tray in his hands struggling to get to the desk, without spilling the tea and dropping the cake. As he set down the tray on the desk, that has old manuscripts stacked high and reference books scatter about it. he whispers to where only the boy could hear. " I brought you something to eat Shi-chan." Kiyoshi takes a small second to look at the tray and lets a giggle slip from his lips. The blonde smiles and falls on the bed making it worst than it already was, which made the young writer turn his eyes towards the tall blonde lounging about in his messy bed. Not knowing that a smile as appeared on his pink-tinted lips, he says " yogi what are you here for anyway?" hoping he will say nothing in response, Yogi looks up from the book fixating his jade green eyes at Kiyoshi "I'm here cause you make me worry" the boy looks down, upset he made him worry, when he suddenly felt a warm hand on his cold cheek. Looking up those green eyes, green as the forest he often visits, that were staring deeply in to his " your so tiny and yet you skip sleep to work....your starting to get pale from lack of sleep." continued the young blonde as he stared in to the deep piercing blue eyes. Unable to break it the boy just stares like he's being sucked into some unknown place. He just stared until the sound of his brother saying " I'm Home" made him break the eye contact with yogi. Getting up to welcome his young brother home when he felt a strong grip on his fragile arm " Kiyoshi..." said yogi with this sad but strong tone. Kiyoshi looks at him for a minuet and pulls away " I'm Sorry I made you worry so much yogi...." he mumbles just so yogi can hear as he walked in the hall to greet his cheerful brother. " big brother" says a boy just a bit taller then Kiyoshi with greyish-blonde hair and blue eyes, as he walks up to the smaller boy. Looking at his brother that was younger than him by four years he responded " Welcome home, Rin-san" the boy eyes lit up and his smile got bigger as he walked into Kiyoshi's room. His smile fades quickly when he sees the tall blonde standing there " So what is his reason for his present, big brother" says the gray haired boy in a growling tone. The blonde chuckles at the boy and smiles " I'm helping your brother out, of course" replying in a way that you could see what he was really saying 'back off little boy Kiyoshi is mine!' just from the redness of the boys face you could tell he was enraged at yogi. He bolted out the door without a second of thought. Almost knocked over and was now confused in the words that were spoken Kiyoshi stared at the blonde " I'm going for a walk to clear my head.....stay here if you not busy...I'll be back soon." yogi in shock, thinking he hurt the boy, didn't notice him walking to the door after he collected his laptop and a few books. ".....Wait!" yogi yelled as he dashed out the room into the hall, after he gain his senses again, to only find it empty. Kiyoshi walked in the cool wind that blew across his bright red cheeks, which were red from thinking about yogi's deep jade green eyes. The wind started to blow more so he hurried to the forest without even noticing the tall blonde behind him.

      The timeless walk that felt like forever was over, Kiyoshi reached the entrance of the forbidden forest that looks like it would go on forever. Yogi knew that this forest was forbidden because of everyone that went in came out insane, unsure that he should follow anymore when Kiyoshi disappeared in the blackness of the leaves. Knowing Kiyoshi was weak in fights much less gym class, he dashed in without thinking about the dangers that lied ahead. Spotting the platinum blonde hair weaving in and out of the darkness, the blonde followed thinking that the only person he knew with that hair was Kiyoshi, right when he came to a opening where the sun blazed in between the leaves. Not seeing the whitish-silver hair he started to panic, jerking his head around to find it again but nothing appeared. He collapse to his knees sniveling into his hands when he heard a cry that sounded like the one he loved (aka Kiyoshi) jumping up he darted to the sound. When he was near the sound he started to look around for the boy. Then suddenly he felt lethargic and dropped to the forest floor.

     "ahh......so peaceful" mumbled a certain platinum blonde that was relaxed against a tree, which hovered over him to give shade from the boiling sun, he read a book and switched to typing when he was bored of it. When abruptly a rabbit jumped out of a nearby bush "Forest prince.......we need your help" not startled by the rabbit talking the boy stood up and walked towards the squeaking talking rabbit " what's wrong.....eh.....someone entered the woods" he replied with a worried look. The rabbit nodded taking him to where he saw the person. Kiyoshi worried that the 12 gods got to the poor lost person first. Rushing to the spot with the tiny white rabbit, yet not to his surprise no one was there, sighing he rested up against a tree " I couldn't save them again.....what kind of prince am I?" the rabbit was looking down not speaking, until he noticed a ring on the ground "Prince!!" jumping the boy looks at the rabbit that was staring at the ring. Noticing the ring in an instant he jerks it away from the furry white paws of the rabbit "no....no..no this can't be happening.....yogi why did you come in here?" he whimpered and cried like a kid who lost his mother. The rabbit puzzled about the prince's reaction to the ruby ring. Suddenly a taunting voice giggles and whispers about the prince and the rabbit "your far too late for your little hero" Kiyoshi flinches and yells 'give him back' but the only reply was a giggle then the voice disappeared. Shaken with anger and sadness filled his eyes, his mind went blank he was broken. 'Why did this happen?' he asked himself over and over, screaming for them to give him back as tears and sorrow cover his face. The rabbit as known the prince for a long time, yet not once has he seen him in such pain. It was unbearable to see, the once quiet and calm boy was a wreck, screaming and tears streaming down his once pure looking face that look like it never felt pain. The prince just sat there for hours which turned into days.

     A few days later after his best friend was taken by Puzzle the troublemaker out of all of the twelve gods. The ground was damp from the morning dew, the sun gleamed through the wet leaves, the small prince laid on the ground shivering from the cold. He's eyes red and swollen from the many tears he cried in the passed days, his hair was matted with dead leaves and dirt. His skin was pale and he looked weaker then before. The rabbit hopped up with a bowl made out of wood, it was filled with water, sitting in front of the motionless boy. "...prince?....you have to drink something..." there was no response from the boy, he just stared at the bowl. All of sudden the taunting and giggling voice echoed through the forest " oh my...so weak...poor prince....death hovers over him......we thought you were strong guess we were wrong.....hmm this is boring we want to play with the prince ….but this no fun" the prince bolted up to a stand only in a result of him falling back down from hunger and dehydration. " t-tell me...p-please how I can get him back...." chocking on his newly formed tears the prince struggled to get up. " ahh...he's moving...this maybe fun after all...." unable to reply before the giggling stop, the boy drop to the ground again making a loud thump and fainting on the spot "Prince!!"

     'ugh my head is killing me...ehh...where am I?...its so dark..hmm what's this smell...wine?..ehh no..its sweeter..maybe cake or candy' the blonde wondered what the smell was as he gather to his feet, stumbling a few times until he was standing. A small light peered through a crack , swaying and stumbling against the cold stone wall yogi inched his way towards it. Suddenly he heard whispers of two people, peeking through the crack he barely saw a women about as tall as Kiyoshi with long wavy red hair to her hips, she had a gypsy costume on from what he saw. " so what do we do with that weak looking blonde?" a deeper voice replies, the blonde unable to see the second person face yet alone his body " don't kill him..we'll do that in front of the weak prince...that rules the forest of time" chuckling the whispers stopped. 'I'm so lost.....what prince?.....forest of time?....k-kiyoshi w-what are you?'

It took two full days until the prince was able to get up and walk again, from the help of many forest animal and the help of the magi Leila, but when he was awake and healthy something wasn't right. The boy sat by a river in a grassy mellow, his hair blew softly as the small breeze hit it. It look like he was so calm from the back but if you saw his face it was like someone killed his little brother in front of him. It wasn't sorrow it was hate and the urge for revenge filled his deep piercing blue eyes. You could fill the rage leaking from him. The prince wasn't just mad or enraged, he was out for blood and no one could stop him, thought the mere rabbit hopping about in a pace unaware he was being watched like a hawk's next dinner.

     'I'll get them for this...my powers are fully awake now.....and I'm going to kill each one nice and slow...I miss you yogi' the small boy sighed as he played with the water when he heard a cry come from the forest. Dashing off near the crying sound the giggling of the taunting voice starts "hehe...so alert...oh my this is going to be harder then I thought....oh yes much harder" the boy started twitching from anger "give him back...he doesn't belong here!!" giggling the taunting voice response "give who back?....doesn't belong?.....aren't you talking about yourself prince......when you defeat six of the twelve you can have you little hero back and you can stay the prince...otherwise...pack up and forget that blonde of yours" scanning the trees and the shadows to find the location of the voice, yet not being able to find the voice before it disappeared with a mocking giggle that echoed through out the forest. The boys eyes turned a fiery green from the rage that's building within him, when out of the blue a black wolf with a star on its chest shifts into a young girl and comes out of the dense forest. Startling the young 18 year old, she shies away from him "uh....I-I'm sorry for scaring you young prince...." noticing she means no harm he steps up to her and smiles slightly to insure her its fine " may I ask your name little wolf?" she looks away as a small tint of pink appears on her lightly tanned cheeks. " I-Its starlet..." giggling at how cute she looked he smiled more "Its nice to meet you Starlet and you don't have to call me prince, its Kiyoshi" the tinted pink that was across her cheeks became brighter. Chuckling slightly he calmed down some, at the same time he replayed the message ' when you defeat six of the twelve you can have your little hero back and you can stay the prince...otherwise..pack up and forget that blonde of yours' knowing he needs to leave in morning to get to the north where three gods roamed. " Sir Kiyoshi are you ok?" the timid little girl said in a soft voice. The young boy looks at her and smiles slightly adding a calm nod.

     The morning drew near, the young prince which been up for hours gathering the equipment that was needed, looked around one last time at the place he often camps out at " Sayōnara, My Kingdom" was his last words before he disappeared into the blackness of the trees. The boy not noticing the young wolf behind him, he continued on his way to save the man he loves dearly, not know what lays ahead....
