"Alllrrrriiiggghhhhtttt everybody!" Honoka exclaimed as she smiled widely at the crowd before her. "Let the circus, begin!" she said as the curtains behind her opened, revealing the people who would be part of the circus.

Kotori looked curiously at the bunch, despite the strange clothing, they all look pretty normal. A blonde haired girl with blue eyes,she had long white gloves as she wore a black skirt with gold and diamond colored linings, and a white shirt with the colors of green and red, the skirt reached to her knees. Half a mask she wore with a gold designing,making it seem like flowers, as she smiled at the crowd,and a smaller maybe younger version of her stood besides her.

"And our acrobats! The sisters, Alisa and Eli!" the head of the circus introduced as the two were already close to the ceiling of the circus.

The two jumped, everyone gasped as they saw they held nothing to catch them. Kotori slouched in her sleep, she couldn't help it. She might see two people died, right when they were about to hit the ground, a firework was set off, causing everyone's attention to transfer to it. When they had all gotten over the shock, they looked back at the sisters. Not on the ground but in the sky, both using one hand to hold onto the rope that kept them falling.

"Welcome!" the older one said as she swing side to side,holding the rope until she let go and launched herself towards the younger one, who caught the older one in a swift move. "To the circus!" the younger then exclaimed as she threw the older sister making the latter get launched towards a flying swing. "And then we have-the beast tamer-Nico!" Honoka introduced as the two sister continued with their acrobatics.

A lion came running through the curtain,running towards the closest person. That girl was Kotori, she was about to shriek until a girl with black hair, wearing silk clothing, the black dress she wore reached up to just below her knees, she wore a rose on her hair as she smiled defiantly at the crowd. "Zenos!" she shouted excitedly as the lion ran towards the girl. Again, everyone else gasped.

At the right time, the lion stopped,crouched and growled loudly at Nico. "Zenos, fight!" she said,causing the lion to sit up straight and growl at the crowd. The lion, Zenos, ran around growling but it seemed more of a childish laugh, the kids in the big tent smiled and laughed happily as they, too, had noticed the lion was more likely laughing.

"And next, the snake dancer-Nozomi!" Honoka introduced,Nico still had Zenos running around, she knew the snakes wouldn't bother Zenos and that the snakes wouldn't mind Zenos. The lights went out as all the light focused on the middle of the ring, showing a purple headed girl wearing something similar to a swimsuit. A white bra with another white skirt,both had designs of poison Ivy, or vines.

Several snakes covered her body, Kotori moved closer to the ring as she focused on the snake dancer, she moved slowly and yet gracefully at the same time, Kotori was mesmerized with the movements of the girl. Nozomi had her two hands in opposite directions at her back as one of the snakes had become similar to a rope, tying Nozomi's two hands.

One of the snakes on her were about to bite as Kotori's breath hitched, before the snake could actually bite,fire had surrounded Nozomi. "And now,the fire breather-Maki!" Honoka introduced to the girl who held a torch. She wore a golden designed white shirt made of cotton and a silk skirt reaching to her heels, a single toe barely noticeable. The lights now focused on the entire ring instead of just focusing on one part.

The girl with red hair, Maki, had fitted well with the flames she created. She smiled defiantly as she kept breathing fire out, the flames almost surrounding Nozomi,the latter smiled as she got the snakes to disperse and now the said snakes were all moving around,the people inside the ring didn't seem to be bothered,as was Kotori.

When the fire had stopped, everyone had saw that the snakes created a word, 'Next' sad the word they created, most of the audience gaped at the sight while the children were more than satisfied, but the circus wasn't over yet. No, there were still two people left to perform. Four daggers, two on each side, passed by Nozomi and Maki as each dagger hit the bulls eye the four targets nobody had noticed.

"And next, the knife thrower-Umi!" Honoka had introduced the next one to perform. Kotori expected a man, but instead came a woman with blue hair that flowed down her back. A circle was painted in her left eye as a triangle was painted on her right, both colored red. She had a bright smile on her face as her two hands held four daggers, eight in all. Each one between her fingers.

She wore a jokers clothing,as she held up one of her hand. The left hand hidden behind her, she threw one dagger up to the sky where the two acrobats were still flying, everyone held a breath as the dagger had almost hit Eli, the dagger fell and was in motion, at a right moment Umi had used her left hand then to use one of the hilts of on of the many daggers to push the dagger mid air towards one of the many targets aligned right behind Honoka.

She then threw all the daggers in the air like that first, this time the dagger surrounded the spot where Eli and Alisa were about to meet. This were that parts where Alisa and Eli had a hard time. Eli gulped as she threw herself towards Alisa, barely missing one of the many daggers scattered in the air. Alisa,who was now on one of the flying swings,grabbed her older sister with both her hands as she used her two feet to hold onto the swing.

Everyone was nervous as Umi caught the daggers and threw them one by one, not taking anytime to aim. The crowd gasped as each dagger hit the target right in the middle,Kotori included. She had never seen anyone be able do things as she saw today, the circus seemed to be more than she thought,like a mystery book. When all her daggers were used up she smiled brightly as she turned her head to see Honoka.

"And then next-the magician, me!" Honoka said as she took out two packs of cards, she threw all the cards in the air as they all stuck to each other and each time Honoka moved the cards followed the direction in the air, thankfully Eli and Alisa had paused their acrobatics as they both stayed on platform opposite from the other. Soon, the cards stopped flying and turned into confetti, the children tried to catch some of the confetti as everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.

The two acrobatics resumed their moves as Honoka stayed in the middle while Umi stayed behind and Maki,and Nozomi stayed on the side opposite from the other, Nozomi had the snakes create something similar to a sword as Maki was breathing fire towards the sky, making the fire disperse causing a flare effect. Nico rode Zenos around the ring, waving at everyone.

Umi faced opposite from Honoka, who faced the crowd, as she juggled the several weapons she had been able to get without anyone noticing. One chainsaw, several daggers,and several saws. When Eli and Alisa had landed on the opposite platforms, Umi had somehow managed to get each weapon she had held to disappear and both Nozomi and Maki had stopped, as Honoka smiled boldly and in one swift moment, fireworks went off causing it hard to see the members of the circus.

When the fireworks were gone,so were the people that used to be in the ring.

The cores cheered at the act they had witnessed, as it was not everyday someone see's something as wonderful as the circus.
