Everyone! The Noah's Ark Circus has come to 'Pursuing' and here it will remain for about three chapters! *.*
Joker, Dagger, Doll, Beast and SNAKE (I know some of you were eanerstly expecting him ;)) are finally going to show up! Granted, they will play a bigger part latter in the story, but we already get to enjoy a little bit of them now. =D
As always thank you for the fav/alert everyone! =)
Daughter of Kabegami and DeathCobraEater, thank you for reviewing! I loved hearing from you! =)
Also, sorry for not being able to post this chapter sooner... wanted to have it up last week, but couldn't find the time to finish writing it... -.-
Anyway! Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and girls of all ages! Please, sit back and enjoy this chapter of Pursing!
Hehehe... Sorry, Joker, couldn't resist. =.=
"And so, we're back to the practice tent!" Joker, the leader of the Noah's Ark Circus announced as we (Young Master, Sebastian and I) re-entered the place in which we took our 'entrance exam' to the Cirus. "New people practice over an' over here, aiming at making their debut in a real public performance. Work on the basics first. Warm up carefully and…"
"Joker!" The circus' animal-tamer, Beast, called. "It's almost your turn!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The woman threw Sebastian a glare and left. Joker was quick to follow, not before throwing us one last smile from over his shoulder. "Go ahead an' go all out, you three!"
And so the three of us began to stretch and discuss our current case, which I'll explain to you now.
You do remember that, after the curry contest, Young Master received some circus' tickets from the Queen, correct? Well, the tickets came with the order to investigate the Noah's Ark Circus, that had arrived to London a few days before. It seemed that children disappeared wherever this circus went…
And so, we began investigating the missing children's whereabouts. Scotland Yard was the first place we searched.
"It's very convenient that Lord Randall is absent, isn't it?" Young Master spoke as Sebastian and I scanned the many files that were there.
"Please, forgive me! If the commissioner knew about this-!" One of the workers tried to plea. I couldn't help but roll my eyes; it would be of no use, for Young Master wouldn't be detained by simple words.
"Then it's better if he doesn't." The young Earl replied simply.
Told you it wouldn't stop Young Master.
"Where to now, Young Master?" I asked from my place at the coach as the young Earl and Sebastian entered the carriage.
"Undertaker."
My eyes widened for a bit before a smile stretched across my lips and I nodded.
I was the first to enter the mortuary.
"Undertakeeer?" I called but no response came. "Come out already!" Still nothing. "Stop ignoring me! I know you're here!" Silence. Embarrassed at being bluntly ignored in front of the Earl and his demon, I bowed my head to hide my blush.
Young Master let out a tired sigh (though I swear there was a hint of an amused smirk on his lips) before speaking as well. "Are you there, Undertaker?"
Not wasting one moment, the crazy mortician appeared, pointing at Young Master with a weird hand signal, as if spider-webs would come out from his hands because of it.
"Hehehe! Wellcome~, Earl!" Undertaker greeted in his sing-song voice. "Do you finally want to get int- Uff!"
"So to Young Master you answer, but, when I call you, you just ignore me?!" I demanded in an angry voice, grabbing the mortician by the front of his shirt. "Why is that?!"
"Hehehehehe! Don't be jealous, Elli~!"
"I'm not jealous!"
"Of course no~t!" The crazy mortician agreed in a sarcastic voice, smiling wide to me before turning his head to the young Earl. "Anyway, why don't you all si~t? I've just baked a cake!"
My eyes sparkled at hearing that, and I quickly let go of Undertaker.
What can I say? The man was crazy and everything, but, let me tell you, when he wanted to (almost never), he could cook as well as Sebastian.
"So you've finally bought chairs, huh?" I asked good-naturedly as I sat on one of them with a plate of cake in my hands. It seemed only I was going to eat it. What a waste…
As I put a spoonful of cake in my mouth, Sebastian gave me a questioning glance, as if wondering how I could be so at home in the mortuary and actually eat Undertaker's food. Honestly? I didn't know the answer to this myself… I just felt comfortable in Undertaker's presence.
"Children's corpses, hmm~?" Said mortician began, making me turn my eyes from the demon to him.
"The surface world has not yet found the missing corpses." Young Master explained.
"And, in the underworld~, children's corpses are an everyday~ occurrence. Which the Earl knows ve~ry well. Doesn't he?"
Quickly, I turned my eyes to Ciel. He had such a serious and somewhat pained expression that I almost walked over him to give him a hug. I just didn't do it because he'd most likely order Sebastian to provide my death. Painfully. And at great length.
"We've brought you the documents." Young Master resumed the conversation. "Are there any children that you've 'tidied up' amongst them?"
"I wonder~… Were they there? If I saw something interesting I'm su~re I would remember~. A first-rate laugh~! If you give me that~, I'll tell you aything~ you want." Undertaker was once again drooling as he spoke. I really don't get it how someone can get so excited due to the anticipation of a laugh. "You understand, Earl~? You'll have to give me that~…"
"Sebastian." Young Master called taking a step back from the crazy mortician.
But, before the demon could begin, the mortician started complaining.
"Eh~? You're going to rely on him again~? I wonder… If the butler isn't here~, is the Earl just a child who can't do anything~? Though, if it is amusing~, I don't care who it is~."
Those words seemed to hit a nerve because, after a few moments of a silent and angry contemplation, Young Master stood up from his place. "I will do it."
"You will do it?" Sebastian and I echoed in unison, exchanging surprised glances.
"Leave." Young Master said simply before turning to give us a look that chilled me to the bones. "Don't you dare peak. That's an order."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian agreed quickly and proceeded to drag me out of the mortuary.
"Are you sur- Hey! Stop pulling me, damn it! I can walk by myself!"
With a huff, I slapped the demon's hands away from me and stomped out of the mortuary with him on my heels.
"Young Master sure is taking his time… It is dark already." I said to myself. But, of course, the demon saw need to reply.
"Naturally. It takes skill to provide a first-rate laugh to Undertaker."
"Really?" I questioned in a teasing voice, raising an amused eyebrow at the demon. "I find it quite easy; maybe I'm more skilled than you."
Sebastian gave me a brief glare before responding. "Maybe you are more ridiculous than me."
"WHY YOU-!"
"Silence. I hear laughter."
Furrowing my eyebrows, I strained my ears but heard nothing.
"I don't hear-"
"Let us go in." Sebastian said, ignoring me completely. "Young Master is done."
Glaring daggers at the demon's back, I followed him in the mortuary, praying that he was wrong so Young Master would chew him off a good bit for entering the place before he was done.
I had no such luck.
Anyway, back to what matters. Undertaker gave us good news: no corpses of children were found. Though it was wonderful to know that whoever was kidnapping children didn't kill them, it left us with another problem: we'd have to get very close to the circus to find more clues.
"Let's go, Sebastian, Elli." The young Earl ordered as he turned to walk out of the mortuary. "Contact me if any information surfaces, Undertaker."
"Earl~, keep your soul~ safe, at least."
I didn't understand what Undertaker meant by that, and Young Master didn't seem to fully grasp it either, but he nodded his head nonetheless. "I know." Then, noticing that I wasn't following, he turned to me with inquiring eyes. "What are you waiting for, Elli? A written invitation? Let's go already."
"Forgive me, Young Master." I apologized. "But could you give me a couple of minutes with Undertaker? I promise I'll be fast."
The young Earl narrowed his eyes at me. "Is it about those children you visit?"
My eyes widened. How did he know?! "Y-Yes."
"Very well, you have two minutes."
"Thank-" The door was shut. "-you."
"My, my~, it seems the Earl really respects you, Elli~." Undertaker spoke with sarcasm, materializing behind me and thus, making me jump in fright. "Kyahahahaha! You're still so easy to startle~! I was afraid that living with a demon would change that~!"
"Idiot." I said through gritted teeth, as I willed my heart-beat to slow down. "Anyway, about what really matters: Undertaker, could you please keep L.L., Will and the other children away from that circus? I don't think Young Master will allow me free time to go take care of them."
"Elli~, I-"
"You're a busy man, I know, but I'm begging you. Please, please, please. Keep them safe."
"I was going to say that I'm ha~ppy you trust me enough to keep your little brothers safe." The mortician said with a smile, petting my head as usual. "I promise to keep them away from the circus. Now go; the Earl awaits you~!"
I couldn't help but give the mortician a quick hug in gratitude."Thank you, Undertaker! I owe you one!"
Needless to say, Young Master, Sebastian and I made our way to the Noah's Ark Circus so we could watch one of their performances.
"By all appearances-" Young Master began. "-there doesn't seem to be anything unusual but-"
Then, all of the lights disappeared for a brief second, before one single beam fell upon a male figure standing on the stage. He was tall, red-haired and wore very colorful clothes but, what really caught my eye was his right arm…
"My God, what happened to his arm?! It's made of bones!" I whispered to Young Master.
"If I knew something about them, we'd probably wouldn't be here." He answered simply and I couldn't help but flinch at coldness of his voice. Young Master sure was unhappy to be there.
"I just thought that mayb- Oh! The show is about to start!" Grimm thoughts aside, a smile quickly made a way to my face as the man in question purposefully dropped the balls he was juggling on his head.
"Oh joy." Young Master spoke with acid sarcasm. "The show."
I watched the performances with wide and amazed eyes. Sure, they didn't do anything I wasn't capable of doing myself (except knife throwing and controlling snakes; those were not included in my set of skills), but they did things in a sort of magical way; full of colours and smiles. It just made people gawk at them.
The young Earl and his butler being the exception of course.
"Ciel." I called in one of the rare moments I saw fit to behave more informally with the young Earl. "You should let yourself go a little. The show is very nice! Enjoy it!"
"Don't be ridiculous." Young Master scolded, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm here at work."
"Maybe if Miss Elizabeth was here…" I wondered out-loud and watched with a satisfied smile as Young Master's cheeks turned a slight shade of red.
"Stop talking nonsense, Elli. Or else I'll send you back to the mansion right away."
That had me dropping my smile in one second. "No, no. I promise I'll be good."
"And finally! The star of our show: our wild animals tamer!" The man, Joker, began. "For this act, we'd like a volunteer from the audience!"
"It appears that the final show also has no connections to the missing children." Young Master spoke, obviously displeased. "No matter how you look at it, this theater-going was a waste of time."
Holding back of a disappointed sigh, I turned to him. "Would you like to leav- Hey, Sebastian, what are you doing?"
The demon was standing up now and looking intensively at the stage.
"What is it?" Young Master also asked. "Did you notice someth-"
Unfortunately, it was Joker's voice that answered us. "Oh! You, distinguish-looking man on the tailcoat! Please, step on the stage!"
Young Master exchanged a look with Sebastian before ordering him to go.
"Young Master, why did you allow Sebastian to go?" I couldn't help but ask, looking down at the young Earl. "There are too many people watching; there won't be much for him to do now."
"I know. But, a contact with the circus is still a contact; something good may actually come out of it."
Understanding Young Master's logic, i turned my eyes back to the stage. It seemed that Joker was giving instructions to Sebastian, but the demon bluntly ignored him.
And walked straight to the tiger.
"What the hell is he thinking!" I hissed under my breath.
"Crap! Tigers are cats!" Younger Earl cursed before burying his face in his hands in secondhand-shame.
As I watched Sebastian talk to the tiger (yes, talk! He was talking to a bloody tiger!) I couldn't help but frown in confusion; the demon had a soft spot for cats? That was very unexpected.
No, unexpected was what happened next: the tiger closed his jaws on Sebastian's face!
"BETTY!" Alright, the tigress closed her jaws on Sebastian's face. "LET HIM GO!" With those desperate words, the animal-tamer raised her whip to strike the tigress, but Sebastian stopped her by grabbing the weapon.
Then, Sebastian proceeded to speak. I couldn't hear what the demon spoke to the woman, but she seemed to get very frustrated…
"WHO SAID YOU COULD GO THAT FAR?!" Young Master yelled in frustration as we left the circus' tent. I couldn't help but smile; there was the chew-off I wanted Sebastian to receive! Too bad the demon was in too much happy for 'playing' with the tiger to actually care about it.
"My apologies. I've lived for such a long time but it is only cats whose fickle emotions I cannot read."
"What were you thinking?! Being far more conspicuous than neces- ACHOO! YOU KNOW I'M ALLERGIC TO CATS! WALK FURTHER BACK!"
"Ah! You in the tailcoat! Hold on a sec, you!" A voice, Joker's voice, came from behind.
I was about to turn my head to the clown, but Young Master grabbed my arm and pulled me a few steps ahead, though keeping us on hearing range.
"Pretend you don't know him." Young Master ordered. I didn't question.
"I'm really sorry for earlier." Joker said.
"No, please, accept my apologies instead."
"I was surprised 'cause you suddenly got so close to the tiger… You okay from the bite? Anyway, we've got us a special doctor here and I was thinking he should check you out." I looked down to see the Earl's eye alight with the opportunity. "C'mon round the back."
Even though I had my back turned to the pair, I just knew Sebastian was smiling in fake gratitude. "In that case, I will."
"Should we follow them?" I asked Young Master.
"Just you."
"What? Why?"
"I wish to avoid these people as much as I can." The young Earl explained matter-of-factly. "Actually, you will not be following Sebastian. Walk around the tents, see if you can find something. If anyone asks what you're doing, say you're looking for your friend, that you lost him on the crowd as you left the play."
"Understood." I agreed, but did not move from my place.
The Earl raised an eyebrow at me. "So? What are you waiting for? Go."
"Eh… Let me at least take you safely to the carriage?" I asked as I looked around to the many faces that surrounded us. Not all were friendly. "I'd feel better if you didn't walk alone around here."
Young Master sighed in mild-frustration but nodded nonetheless.
As I walked around the tents, I could feel many curious eyes on me, as if I was a new member of the circus' cast that no one knew. No one stopped me though. Well, when you think about the amount of people buzzing around, it must not be uncommon for them to have new circus members and not know them.
Needless to say, I kept walking around, paying attention to anything that could indicate children's presence. But there were no kids, no toys, no children's clothes, no pets… nothing. The only kids I saw were the pretty twins from the show and they were not on the missing children's list.
"There's nothing here worth notice…" I mumbled to myself, dropping my head in frustration.
"You look lost." Came a voice right from behind, making me jump in fright. I turned around to see that snake-charmer staring calmly at me. There were two snakes wrapped on his shoulders and they made me nervous, very nervous. "Says Wilde."
"Ah y-yes, actually I am. Lost I mean. I am lost." I answered, scratching the back of my neck in anxiousness as I watched the snakes watching me.
Desperate not to keep looking at the unsettling snakes, I turned my eyes to the man's face. The scales on his skin shone a pretty kind-of-red-kind-of-orange hue thanks to the light of the many candles illuminating the area. As I stared at his face in slight awe, the man stared back at me with those impassive eyes though I detected some discomfort in his posture. Realizing that he was waiting for me to continue, I quickly resumed talking.
"Ah! Y-You see, I'm looking for my de-friend! I'm looking for my friend! He is tall and wearing a tailcoat!" That was close. Imagine that, a stranger turns to you and say: 'I'm looking for my demon!" That would've been hard to explain…
"The one bitten by Betty? He is at the doctor, says Goethe." Alright, were those the snakes names? Was he actually echoing their 'words' or was that 'says Wilde, says Goethe' thing just one of his quirks?
"And where is-"
I cut myself when I noticed a black shadow jumping from one of the tents, many daggers following it. I couldn't help but sigh in exasperation. Always making friends, eh, Sebastian?
"Never mind. Found him." I said in a deadpanned voice as I watched Sebastian grab all of the daggers that were aimed at him; not even a scratch. Then, I turned to the snake-charmer with a big smile on my face, always avoiding to look at the reptilians on his shoulders. "Thank you for the help, Mister…"
"Snake." He completed. "Says Goethe."
"Eh… well, I've got to go. Thanks again!"
"What a weird lad." I said to myself as I ran to Sebastian's direction. "But his scales sure shine prettily…"
When I arrived at the scene, Joker was holding a flowers' bouquet for the animal-tamer while the knife-thrower glared at Sebastian and a man on a wheelchair (probably the doctor) asked why the clown hadn't intervened sooner.
"What is happening here?" I asked, getting everyone eyes on me. The doctor was the first to speak.
"Hello there. And who are you?"
"My name is Elliot, I'm his friend." I answered, nodding my head in Sebastian's directions before giving the doctor an easy-going smile. "Mister Snake told me he had come to you, doctor, so I came after him. I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something."
"Not at all!" He responded with a big grin. "Believe me, your interference was more than welcome."
"Elli, what are you doing here?" The demon demanded, walking towards me.
"Well, my friend, since you disappeared in the crowd after the performance was over I came looking for you. After all I couldn't just leave my friend, could I?" I explained with an unhappy expression. The bastard had the gall to smile at my misfortune. "So, will anyone explain to me what just happened?"
The man on the wheelchair made to speak, but he was cut-off before even opening his mouth.
"YOUR FRIEND WAS ABUSING MY BIG SIS!" The knife-thrower yelled, jumping in face. "HE TOUCHED HER BEAUTIFUL SKIN! HE THREATENED HER PURITY!"
I looked from the desperate boy to Sebastian with inquiring eyes. The demon just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, my friend can be really indecent." I said as I softly pushed the dagger-thrower away from my face. With satisfaction, I noticed the demon narrow his eyes at my words. "I'm really sorry ab- Eh?"
I lost my words when I noticed Joker start to shamelessly feel up the woman's leg. AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH! Was her purity that the boy was defending? Sorry to say, but that seemed to be long lost...
Then, the clown turned to Sebastian. "My~, you got some great reflexes! I'd kinda like to scout you."
Sebastian and I exchanged a quick glance before rushing to Joker.
"Really?"
"Well, that went better than expected." I spoke with a satisfied smile as we walked out of the doctor's tent. "We will to join the circus! Things can't get more interesting than this." I began walking towards the exit, but halted my movements when I noticed the demon wasn't following. "Sebastian? Where are you going?"
The butler didn't answer me and just kept walking to the wrong way. Eyebrows furrowed in confusion, I made to follow him, but a sudden chill made me halt my movements.
"Entrance past this point is forbidden." I swear I felt my shoulders drop in relief at hearing Snake's voice; the chill I felt (thanks to his snakes, no doubt) was just too sinister. "Is what Wilde just said. The exit is that way, says Goethe."
Smiling, I turned around to reply, but Sebastian pushed me out of the way to greet Snake with one of his ever-so-pleasing-ever-so-fake smiles. "Thank you for your assistance."
Then, just like that, the demon walked away. "Hey! Wait a second, Sebastian!" I called as I walked to the demon.
"Goodbye, says Goethe."
Surprised, I looked over my shoulder to see Snake and his snakes staring expectantly at me, their scales still shinning prettily.
With a big smile, I waved to them. "Bye, bye!"
Honestly, I believed that Young Master would be happy that we found a way to infiltrate the circus, but he chewed us off quite badly. He was so mad that he managed to successfully ignore Prince Somma (who was taking care of the London manor) and walk straight to his room.
I couldn't help but flinch at his angry tone.
"Not so good from the other side of the stick, huh?" Sebastian whispered in my ear with a satisfied smirk on his lips. So, he had noticed me rooting for him to be scolded by Young Master…
I glared at the demon in response. "Be quiet. If you're going to speak, say something to calm Young Master."
"Very well."
I raised my eyebrows as the demon walked towards the young Earl to help him get ready to sleep. Quickly, I turned around to give Young Master some privacy to change his clothes.
"Just you infiltrating it the circus is enough, isn't it?" The Earl continued to complain. "Living in a tent! What a joke!"
"Would that really be alright? Me, living by my own free will without following your orders?" So, that was the demon's plan; using his own unreliable nature to point out the need of his master's presence. Smart. "It is not like Elli has the capacity to make me behave. Be it supernatural, physical or intellectual."
"Hey, uncalled for!"
"… I guess you're right." Young Master agreed begrudgingly. "It can't be helped. I'll do it."
Needless to say, Sebastian and I passed the entrance test with ease.
And so did Young Master! Well, he had a bit of Sebastian's help… Be it at knife-throwing or tight-rope walking, the demon was able to make Young Master succeed just with some well-aimed little rocks.
As I watched Young Master walk the tight-rope, one of the circus' member was practicing his violin skills. He was playing a lullaby, one that Emma used to sing for me while I was in the dungeons. I closed my eyes and immersed myself in a nice feeling of nostalgia. I couldn't keep the soft smile from coming to my face as I sang along in a low voice.
"Oh, if this street, if this street belonged to me
I would have it, I would have it all tiled,
With many, pretty, little diamonds,
For my love, for my love to walk by.
On this street, on this street, there is a hill
It is called, it is called Loneliness.
On this hill, on this hill, lives an angel
Who stole, who stole my heart from me.
If I stole, if I stole your heart from you,
You have stolen, you have stolen mine as well.
If I stole, if I stole your heart from you,
It is because, just because, I wish you well."
By the time the song had ended, there was complete silence in the practice tent and everyone was looking at me with surprised eyes.
"W-What's wrong?" I asked, suddenly feeling very self-conscious. They couldn't have heard me singing, right? I sang in such a low voice!
"Amazing!" Joker exclaimed at last with a big smile on his face as he laid his skeletal hand on my left shoulders. "It seems we got our'elves three real talented recruits!"
"That means we're in?" I asked, looking up at the clown.
"Not yet. The boy hasn't done something real important… A big ol' SMILE!"
At hearing that, it was hard for me not to fall face-first on the floor. Sebastian didn't even try much to hold back his laughter and I couldn't really blame him... As if Young Master would act-
Wait a minute! Young Master was… no, it couldn't be… but it was!
THE EARL PHANTOMHIVE WAS SMILING! And it was not a self-satisfied smile or anything like that, IT WAS A CUTE, HAPPY (though fake) SMILE!
As I felt my jaw drop to the floor, I kept chanting in my head: must not hug him; must not hug him; must not hug him; must not hug him…
It was hard. He was just so cute!
Later that night we were introduced to all of the circus' members.
"Everyooooone~! From today on, we have some new friends." Joker began as Young Master, Sebastian and I took a few steps forward. "Newcomers Black, Siren and… Smile!"
It was also very hard not to burst out laughing with the chorus of "C'mon Smile, smile!" that took over the tent.
Well, now that I've filled you in about what happened since the curry contest, let's go back to where we are now: stretching in the practice's tent and discussing the case, more specifically, Snake's tent and the possibility of the children being in there.
"I really don't think Snake is involved." I spoke, not being able to see how that soft-spoken boy could be involved in such a thing (well, truth be told, I couldn't see anyone of the circus being involved in the children 's disappearances). "Think with me; he is new and the children have been missing for a long time now. I believe he has joined the circus as a simple performer, just like us."
"Even so, we have no evidence there's no relation to the children's disappearances. You haven't thoroughly searched every nook and cranny yet." Young Master spoke.
"That's right." Sebastian agreed. "There's always the possibility their current situation is such that I'm unable to sense their presences."
"Don't say such unlucky things." The Earl scolded. "The Queen wishes for the children's safe return."
"Understood." The demon agreed. "By the way, instead of sensing the children's presence, I-"
"Hey! Don't stretch so sluggish, you guuuuuuys!" It was Dagger.
"Boss Dagger! What about your performance?" A random circus' member asked.
"Today I was the top batter! I'm already done and observing practice." Dagger answered before turning back to us. "First you gotta decide your program. What're you hoping for?"
Young Master was the first to answer. "A program that doesn't involve using my body for something like tight-rope walking would be good… Seriously."
"Then I'll be earnest teaching Smile knife-throwing." Dagger settled with a smile before turning to me. "Siren, eventually, we want you to sing on the opening of our show, so train your voice to sing louder."
"A-Alright." God, I hope we leave the circus before I have to sing in public.
"What about you, Black?"
"I don't have any particular preferences." Sebastian answered with a bored expression.
"You've got some good reflexes. If there's something you see and it looks like you can do it, give it a try." The words hadn't even finished leaving Dagger's lips and I knew he had made a huge mistake in saying them. He had practically asked Sebastian to show off!
And the demon complied to the request. Many times.
"C'mon, honestly! Another super newcomer's appeared?" Dagger asked with a huge grin. "I won't lose, y' know?"
"Another?" Young Master and I echoed, giving Dagger a curious glance.
"There's this amazing guy who just joined. Look, over there." The knife-thrower pointed up to the tightrope. My eyes doubled their size at the person I saw. "He was some sorta Government worker and he's real serious, see. Heeey! C'mon down here for a sec! Suit!"
I felt a foreboding feeling of chaos. Suit was none other than William T. Spears.
"This won't end up well." I said quietly to myself as Spears threw Sebastian a disgusted look.
Then the bastard threw his spear on the floor so he could come down. And he threw it too close to Young Master for my liking, making me jump in front of the boy and narrow my eyes at Spears. The death god ignored my glare though, fixing one of his own on Sebastian.
Even though I just knew that having to cohabit with Spears in the circus was going to be very chaotic, the death god's presence was the proof we needed.
There was something wrong with this circus.
Well, here is the first chapter of the Noah's Ark Circus! =)
Please, do review and tell me what you think. Specially if I've written someone OOC.
By the way, the lullaby Elli sang is a translation I made of a Brazilian lullaby called 'Se essa rua fosse minha'. The translations isn't completely accurate since I've changed some things to make it more melodious...
Well, hope you all liked this chapter! =D
Kisses,
