I believe we should start how every story like this begins, with my background story. Um...I actually don't know where to begin. Alright um...I lived with my mother up until I was 8 years old. She was a performer in a traveling circus and was a recovering addict, but it wasn't from drugs or alcohol it was from blood tablets. Yeah, humans can get hooked onto blood tablets and the results are just as worst as any drug or alcohol because I would always wake up to find my mother with a knife and her eyes were red. Of course she didn'thurt me, until that cold December night.
December 28 Age 4
"Mommy?" I searched for my mother around the circus, but couldn't find her. I looked in the performance tent and I saw her dancing in there and she still had that knife in her hand and chewing on blood tablets. I made my way to her not afraid of what she could do to me because she was my mother why would she hurt me?
"Mommy it's time to come back to bed." She stopped dancing and turned to me, hate filled her glowing red eyes.
"Toga! Why are you here?! Are you planning on taking Sora away from me?! I...I won't let that happen! She's mine! You had your chance to be apart of her life, but you just ran away you coward!"
After saying that my mother drove the knife into my chest and everything went dark and cold for a while and during those silent dark moments all I could think of was
Am I really going to die?
However, an excruciating pain in my chest woke me up. I saw my mother crying and smiling saying how she was glad I was alive, but my eyes shifted to my left to see a tall man with pale skin, long white hair, and golden eyes. He smiled at me then ran his long pallid fingers through my hair. There was something about him I didn't like; I don't know what it was it just made me uncomfortable so I backed away then hid under the blanket.
"Sora! I'm sorry she's usually not like this."
"It's quite alright. Your daughter is very beautiful like her mother." Mother blushed deeply and told me to thank the man. I poked my head from under the blanket and said thank you and the man cupped my face and stared at me in fascination.
"Such lovely eyes. They almost shine like a garnet stone." I pulled back and hid while mother thanked the man and he told her that it was nothing. My mother later asked him if she could do anything for him and his only request was to see me once every year. Of course she didn't question why he wanted to see me every year, why would she? He just saved her daughter's life.
Now that I think about it, that would have to be worse decision she ever made.
When I turned 6 years old I met the man my mother accused me of being that night, Toga, also known as my father.
I met him completely by accident.
The circus was making a pit stop at some small town and I went into town to get some fruit, but I didn't have money so the vendor said if I could attract customers I could get ten of each fruit. It seemed like a pretty sweet deal so I started to juggle while riding my unicycle and I kept chanting:
"Buy 2 get third free."
It didn't take long for me to get customers and for people to start throwing money at me and also bought some fruit. When the day was done I got my fruit and started collecting the money I earned, but the fruit vendor stopped me:
"What do you think you are doing Missy?"
"Um... collecting the money I earned."
"You mean the money I earned."
"What?"
"The money is mine now take your fruits and beat it!" I tugged the bag of money away from him then stuck my middle finger up at him. "You didn't do shit! This is mine! Besides people bought fruit from you!" The vendor's face turned red with anger and he tried to slap me, but a man in a cowboy hat saved me.
"So you were not only going to jip the little girl, but also slap her what kind of man are you?"
"Wh-Who the hell are you?!"
"The man who's going to break your face if you ever try to lay a finger on a child again." I saw the seriousness in the man's face and so did the vendor, the ran to his stand and hid behind it. I laughed and the man hmphed; he then looked down at me questionably.
"Why are you out here alone where are your parents?" I stared at him for a while trying to figure out whether or I should trust him. Something in me told me I could so I finished collecting my money then looked back at him. "My mother is with the others."
"Others?"
"The circus! Let me introduce myself my good sir I'm the great Sora! Daughter of the beautiful and talented Dove!" I bow dramatically making the man laugh a little. "So you juggle and ride an unicycle?"
"No! I also do magic tricks , tight rope, trampoline, trapeze, and I'm curtainly practicing aerial silk."
"Well aren't you talented." He chuckled as if he didn't believe what I just said. I frowned and looked up at him with my eyes narrowed.
"You don't believe me! Don't lie it's written all over your face!" I said while pointing an accusing finger at him. He stopped laughing and looked a bit uncomfortable being yelled at by a little girl. I grabbed him by his hand and dragged him to the place where the circus was. I pulled him into the training tent and I saw Mother there practicing her new aerial silk performance. I pointed my mother out to the man and his eyes widened for some reason. I ignored it and ran to the tight rope. When I got to the top I could hear yelling. I looked down and saw mother yelling at the man to get out. I got down from the tight rope and ran to the both of them.
"Why are you here?! Are you...Are you stalking me now?! After all these years?!"
"Huh! You wish! I was dragged here by some little girl!" I looked at both of them in confusion then called my mother. They both looked at me and my mother smiled at me.
"Honey go play with the other children whil-"
"Wait did she just call you mother?"
After that, Mother and the man went into a very heated conversation about me in the our tent. "Why didn't you try to contact me when you found out you were pregnant?!"
"Because you made choice when you only saw me as a one night stand!"
"Oh come on! That's not even fair! You knew what you were getting into the moment you met me." I interjected into the conversation when I tugged on my mother's dress. "Mother is this man my daddy?"
The man smiled at me and was making his way towards me when my mother scooped me up in her arms and moved away from him. "No honey we've been over this you don't have a father."
"Oh my god! Is that what you you've been telling her all these years?! Your so goddamn selfish! Have you ever thought that our child might want a relationship with me?!"
"She doesn't want a relationship with you!"
"Really? Let me hear her say that."
Mother nervously turned to me and asked me if I wanted to have a relationship with the man who is my father. Knowing her she wanted me to say no; however, I said yes. After that my parents agreed that I could see Daddy for two weeks a month. The first time I got to visit my father was really awkward. The drive to his home was silent until I turned on the radio. Luckily for me my favorite song, For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert, came on. Immediately after I started singing the first stanza of the song, Dad's eyes widened and he turned off the radio. "You can't sing those kinds of songs!"
"Why not?"
"Because your too young and you don't even know what he's singing."
"I know what he's singing about!"
"Really? What's he singing about?"
"Sex." He stopped the car and turned to me in horror. I tilted my head in confusion wondering why Daddy was so shocked. "Who told you about sex?"
" Jiki." Daddy made a pissed and disgusted face. He then started asking a lot of questions about Jiki: age, height, eye color, hair color, weight, and any additional features. "Daddy are you going to hurt Jiki?"
"Of- Wait did you call me Daddy?"
"Yes. Is that alright?"
"Ye-Yeah I just didn't expect you to call me that so quickly."
"You are my father are you not?"
"Yes I-"
"Then I'll call you Daddy." Daddy smirked at me and ruffled my then continue driving. When I arrived at his home I met his fiancee.
I didn't like her at first to be honest.
It wasn't that she was mean or anything like that, it's just her eagerness to get me to like her that made me dislike her. Daddy told me to try to like her, but I couldn't her preppy persona made her irritable. And let's not to forget the 'caring mother' routine. She would always overreact when I was in the backyard dangling from trees or climbing and jumping off the roof of the house. The woman even went as far to order my father to tell my mother not to let me perform dangerous acts in the circus and in response the day before the circus was suppose to go to Italy my mother went to Daddy's house and told Daddy's fiancee:
"Sora is not your child and she is a professional she can handle herself. So take your wannabe mother routine and shove it you whore!"
Yeah after that day every time I went to visit Daddy his fiancee went to visit her parents or friends, but day when I was there she saw practicing aerial silk in the backyard and was I guess fascinated because she asked me if I could teach her. We got along after that though my mother didn't like the idea of me getting along with my future step mother, but I didn't care. When I stayed with Daddy I felt like I was with a real family. Everything was great.
Until Daddy's fiancee died.
I knew something was wrong when it was a man and a woman with twin boys in the back of their car that came to pick me up instead of Daddy. When I got in the back of the car with the twin boys, the man with silver hair told me that Daddy's fiancee died and that he was in the hospital. I burst into tears and one of the twin boys held my hand I turned to him and he smiled at me. "It's okay. Master Toga is strong! So don't cry okay?"
I nodded and his smile grew. He looks very sickly compared to his twin. "I'm Ichiru by the way and this is Zero. We are-well really Zero is a student of your Dad."
"Student? Daddy never told me was a school teacher."
The more healthier twin looked at me as if I was an idiot and said something that sent me over the edge. "Your dad isn't a school teacher he's a vampire hunter."
When we got to the hospital and I saw Daddy laying in the bed peacefully I walked over to him with a bouquet of flowers then climbed into his bed. I was able to get a closer look at him when I climbed onto his stomach with the flowers and saw he was sleeping. Everyone awed in the background and so did a nurse who walked by.
"Daddy...wake up...you lying sack of shit!" The Kiryus' mouth dropped as I raised the flowers like a mallet over my head and repeatedly hitted Daddy square in the face. Zero and Ichiru's mother tried to get me off my Daddy, but I kept hitting him until he woke up.
"What the fu-Sora?! Why did you two bring Sora here!?"
Zero and Ichiru's mother sighed and released me to glare at Daddy. "Because she's your daughter and she wanted to see you! And why didn't you tell her about you what you do for a living?! Don't you think she has the right to know?! What if you ended up dead and she had to find out that her father died from having his throat ripped out by a vampire! Hell! What if an enemy of yours goes after Sora!"
Daddy flinched at the last part and turned to a sobbing me. His eyes held guilt and he hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry Sora. I just didn't want you to get involved."
"Baka! Baka Daddy! Baka! Baka!"
I had to stay that night with the Kiryus, which was pretty fun because Ichiru was so nice.
Zero was very cold and distant.
So every time I went to visit Daddy and he had to teach. I played with Ichiru! I even got to meet another one of Daddy's students, Kaito. Kaito was always sweet to me and gave me presents. I also got to meet a close friend of Daddy's, Kaien Cross. He was very funny and let me bake at his home.
I really wanted to be friends with Zero, but if he didn't want to talk to me I won't force the brat!
But it wasn't until that one day in August when I saved Zero from a vampire, by throwing a dagger at it's head, that he actually started talking to me. Zero was actually really shy around me, which explains why he avoided me. I even think he had a crush on me, which I wouldn't mind because I had a crush on him as well!
I had fun at the Kiryu household until Zero and Ichiru's parents died and Ichiru disappeared.
I was there everyday to comfort Zero. Even when he rejected my comfort I kept giving it to him because I loved Zero. But when he went to True Cross Academy that he distanced himself from me permanently and went to another for the love I would have given to him in a heartbeat.
But you know what the worse part is? I still love him!
The last time I saw Zero or Daddy was a the age of 13 because the circus went on a 3 year tour around the world. I kept in contact with Daddy through letters or Skype, but Zero hasn't tried to contact me. After our tour the next place we're going is the town where Daddy and Zero are in.
"Hey Sora hurry up and pack up we're leaving Brazil tonight! Also Hirato has an announcement!"
"I'm coming Yogi! Just need to find my locket!" I looked under my costumes and found it. I quickly tied the locket that man gave me around my neck and ran with Yogi to the performance tent, where I met up with my friends: Nai, Gareki, Jiki, Tsukumo, Iva Kiichi, and Karoku.
"Your late." Tsukumo bluntly stated I blushed and stuck my tongue out to her. Jiki laughed then made a perverted comment, which made me stick my tongue back in. We all turned to the ringmaster, Hirato.
"I have great news everyone. Thanks to our hard work and increase in popularity we have become Japan's greatest world traveling circus!" We all cheered and smiled, but Hirato calmed us down because there was more.
"And thanks to that popularity, statesman Tougo Sakamaki will be coming to our next performance. So everyone do your best and have a performance idea ready by tomorrow then come to me so we can see if we can use it." Once Hirato was done I turned to Yogi and grinned, which he returned. "I have great idea for our performance Yogi! You and me do an aerial silk duet!"
"Absolutely-"
"Not!" We both flinched when we heard my mother's voice. She grabbed me by my arm scowling at me. "You are doing a solo aerial silk act."
"But I always do a duet with Yogi!"
"Not another word Sora! You are the daughter of Karneval's main star! I can't have you doing duet acts in front of a prominent statesman like Tougo Sakamaki!"
"But-"
"No buts! From now on your going on a strict diet and will be practicing and training 13 hours a day with no breaks I want you to be perfect!"
And here is where our story begins.
