Kyoya: You know what I wanna know?

Me: What?

Kyoya: Why the heck is this story named Snowfall?

Me: *giggles* You'll see later.

Kyoya: Oh gosh. Let's just get this over with. MK owns nothing but herself and her laptop.

Me: Me made a mistake last chapter. I said the beginning with Kyoya's nightmare was a flashback and it wasn't. I had been planning to put on there but changed my mind. I just forgot to remove the whole flashback thing. Last chapter was all modern day. Sorry.

Chapter 8: Puzzle Pieces

Modern Day

Gingka sits on the roof of the B-Pitt. Madoka's curious how he gets up there but he claims it's a secret. Most of the legendary bladers confronted him secretly about it and Tsubasa, Kyoya, and King had all managed to get up there and scare him at least once each.

The Winter Legend laces his fingers together and stares out at the sunrise. Kyoya had woken up screaming about half an hour ago. Gingka had never heard him scream like that. He wonders what Kyoya was dreaming about before he woke.

"Gingka." The Legend jumps at the voice and lets out a girlish squeal. He looks behind him and sees his friend.

"Tsubasa?" Gingka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you were on a WBBA mission or at MK's place?"

"No." Tsubasa sighs. "We need to talk."

The two bladers take a seat and sit in silence for a moment.

"I finished looking into Kyoya's past with the circus and the Morituri Te Salutamus Circus's past also."

"So?"

"Kyoya was kidnapped as a child. He was taken to the circus and raised there. This was about 10 years ago. While he was there, he became friends with three other kids. Nyssa, Ciel, and Wendy."

"I've met Wendy and Nyssa. Wendy was nice."

"The circus is also where he got his scars. He was the lion tamer at one point and the lion got him. Not sure about everything that happened but that's not important right now. What is is that those four became involved in circus's darker acts."

"Darker acts?"

"They were trying to summon Nemesis….but Kyoya didn't know that. At least, not at first."

"He…"

"They were kidnapping kids to find Rago…but they didn't know that's who they were looking for."

"They were working with Pluto?!"

"I'm not sure about that yet. Anyway, when Kyoya realized they weren't "rescuing" kids but kidnapping them, he attempted to get the cops involved. However, they brainwashed him…"

"Brainwash?"

"Do you remember your battles with Ryutaro?"

"Yeah. His Pisces could change the air pressure….that was a really headache." Gingka rubs the back of his head. "Are you saying they have a blader who can do that?"

"Yeah. The one who did it to Kyoya was named Wendell. However, a couple years ago, Wendell died in a kidnapping attempt. Wendy took over the job of brainwashing the kids."

"But Wendy…"

"Was working with Kyoya."

"EH?!"

"Kyoya and Wendy both realized what was going on but Kyoya told Wendy she wasn't to say anything about knowing the truth. He didn't want her to get hurt. Wendell tried to change his memory and give him a new name, Kyoko, but it didn't seem to work. Kyoya left the circus but something happened between him and the ring leader."

"How do you know?"

"Otherwise, Kyoya would have gone to the cops about the circus. Something happened, not sure what, but it kept Kyoya from going to the cops."

"Well, now everything that's been going on makes sense." Gingka lets out a sigh.

Later

"Wait, how'd you even get this info?" Madoka stands from her chair. Kyoya, Gingka, Tsubasa, and Madoka were meeting in her basement.

"I've gotten into the circus. I'm one of the high wire people."

"So, you're saying that we need to get in too?"

"It might be a good idea. If Kyoya were to convince them that he wants to come back, he might be able to get Gingka in or someone else."

"Um. What about Madoka?" Gingka jabs his thumb her way.

"She could be a mechanic for the circus." Madoka blinks and nods.

"So Madoka can be a mechanic, Tsubasa is a high wire person…Kyoya a lion tamer? But…um…" Gingka taps his chest. "What about me?"

"You…" Everyone thinks. Kyoya grins and snaps his fingers. "I have the perfect job for you."

A Week Later.

"OOOOHHHHHH!" Everyone's eyes grew big as fire grew into the air like a flower. The fire stops and the fire breather lowers his fire stick for a minute.

"Everyone!" The new ringleader, Ciel "Our new fire breather, Ging!" Gingka turns around and waves to the crowd.

"Now, turn your attention up!" Ciel says dramatically. "To the high wire!" A silver haired figure performed a cartwheel out onto the thin wire that was hanging 30 feet up.

The figure performed several more flips before going back to the stand. They then flipped multiple times out into the middle of the wire before grabbing it. They let their bodies drop and the wire made a twang sound. It bounced and continued to as the figure did something that resembled chin-ups.

Up the silver went only to come down. The fingers reached for the wire, and missed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A woman screamed in the crowd as the figure fell. A small black line shot up and wrapped around the wire. The figure swung over to the stand and raised their arms high in the air.

"Tsubaki Otoru!" Ciel yells as he points up the figure. Tsubasa, wearing his hair in a high ponytail and wearing a dress with shorts, waves to the crowd. Gingka stifles a laugh as he stands on the sidelines. Tsubasa can really pull off the girl look. Madoka didn't even have to help him with makeup which made them wonder, where did Tsubasa learn how to dress like a girl….wait a minute…Tsubasa…is a boy, right?!

"Yes, he's a boy." Kyoya hits Gingka on the head. "You were talking out loud. So shh!"

"Sorry." Gingka looked over and saw Madoka hard at work.

"Do you think this will work?"

"Yeah, I do." Kyoya clenches his fist.

We're coming, Hikaru.

Tsubasa: WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO ME?!

Me: Well, a lot of people say you look like a girl…that and Inuyasha. So I figured I'd go with the girl comments. *giggles*

Tsubasa: No one is ever going to look at me the same way after this story.

Me: Nope. Thanks for reading everyone. Tell me what you think in the reviews and see you next week! =) Oh, also, this chapter is like the beginning of the real story. All the other chapters were kinda setting it up and now we get into the real fun. *giggles* That's why I reviewed everything at the beginning was so you'd see how it all fit together. Alright. TTYL. Thanks.

PS: This chapter wasn't beta read because of a lot going on in both of our lives and of how late I'm getting this up. =P
