Author: Lee Assasian Yue
I stood on the high wire right now; I looked down
below me into the millions of faces. They were all watching Catherine throwing
knifes; at Trowa. I watched with slight interest as I adjust my top. I
had managed to avoid Trowa till the show but in this act I was supposed
to fall, and he was supposed to magically appear on the wire below; holding
me up by an arm.
Another thing I had managed to do was get my costume
changed before the show. Black leotards with feathers on them do not suit
me that much. I now wore black wide pants and flat black shoes; my bangs
clipped back, away from my face. My shirt was made out of sliver silk material
and was tight like a second skin.
The crowd roared with applause as Catherine finished
and I stood ready at the edge of the wire waiting as the manager introduced
me. I forget what he called me, some nickname I am thinking. All of a sudden,
the spotlight shined on me and I forced myself to smile slightly before
I cart wheeled onto the wire. I glanced down slightly to see Trowa in a
different suit climbing the opposite pole. I faced outwards from the wire
and jumped backwards and grabbed the wire as I came down.
My body turned and I let go, twisted around and
then grabbed hold of the wire turning so I was actually doing sort of a
handstand. Using my hands, I turned so I was parallel with the wire. Making
my feet, go forwards my feet touched down in front of me and then pulled
myself up. I looked down to see if Trowa was ready; he was.
Wearing black pants and the same type of material
for the shirt he waited towards the middle of the rope. I raised my hand
and did a backward cartwheel, as I did the next one I positioned my self
so I would fall. Making my hand angle outwards more my hand slipped and
I spun once in the air before landing in Trowa's arms.
The crowd had gasped when I fell and were now applauding.
He sort of sat me up on one arm and threw me onto the wire next to him,
where I landed perfectly. The crowd had finally settled down after a few
minutes and were waiting as the manager announced the second act. Me and
Trowa made are way across the wire and down the large poles. We got to
the bottom and snuck into the back I took out my clips, letting my hair
fall back across my eyes.
Catherine came running up to us as I held my clips
in my hands and pulled cuffs from my pocket slipping them on my wrists.
"You guys were great! Were gonna have to do something
like that next time!", Trowa mumbled something and I just nodded, sitting
on an crate and pulling off the slip-on shoes. Cracking my neck I stood
up again and made my way toward the trailers.
"Wait!", I paused as I heard Catherine yell and
run up to me. She kept her voice low, " If I'm bugging you don't have to
say anything but are you related to Heero Yuy? My brother has probably
been wondering ever since you got here this morning". I just looked at
her and she sighed. "Alright. Will you at least come with Trowa and me
for a while? It's around the trailers, we always hang out around a small
fire". I just looked at Trowa who stood watching me, then back at her;
she sighed again, and was about to speak, I interrupted.
"Sure", I said simply my voice imitating my brothers.
She beamed and I turned and went into my trailer changing into more comfortable
clothes. I had brought in my bag from my motorcycle I had packed earlier
and pulled on an forest green top and black shorts; an inch coming in-between
my shorts and shirt. I sorted a few things out before walking outside,
bringing a chair with me and setting it up. Catherine was running around
in her trailer and Trowa was just finished changing and was coming out.
The pit was already there and set up, so I standing up and knelt down next
to it.
Pulling out a stick from the bottom of the pile,
and making sure it didn't make it fall down, put it in the middle and spin
it with my hands fairly fast. When it smoked I bent down and blew, It started
a small fire, and I got up returning to my seat.
I saw that Trowa had already gotten his things and
had watched me make the fire. We sat in silence until Catherine came out
and set all the cooking things up; by then the fire was medium sized.
I crossed my arms and looked into the fire as Catherine
started talking about the preformances. Speaking about preformances she
checked m wath, it was 1:36, mine, Catherine, and Trowa's preformance was
at 6; it was part of the grand finally.
"I don't know if we should do this", Catherine was
saying, I looked at her as she continued. "I mean you just started today
... and I don't want to-", I had looked back into the fire by then.
"It's fine Caherine", I said flatly.
"Anyways", Catherine started, she turned to me,
"what's your name anyways?" she asked.
I looked at her a few seconds before answering,"Lee."
I stated more than said. I had thought up this name right then. I didn't
want them knowing my real first name. I don't think anyone knew my real
name except my brother.
"Yuy, right?", she asked. I just nodded instead
of answering her again. I didn't say anything after that, until the show.
"And now for the grand finaly! Will all our performers
take their places?", I heard the manager say. I adjusted the strapps on
my outfit, I had put it back on awhile ago.
As I stepped out into the darkness to take my palce
with the lions Trowa came up next to me with the other lion in the act.
"Good luck", I heard him whisper to me. Walking into place I commanded
the lion to sit and it did so.
"Now. Let the show begin!", the manager yelled.
The lights went out and the crowd hushed; everyone seemed to be holding
their breath it was so quiet. I lightly clicked my tounge against the roof
of my mouth, this was the signal, and both the lions roared; all the little
kids yelled as a light fouced on me and Trowa dimly then started to increase.
Trowa and I went to a stage in the middle and faced each other, he smiled
slightly as we both did backflips landing next to the lions and then did
an high back bend onto the lion; me and Trowa both gave the lions signals
and both walked around the small circle stand/stage in the center. The
adienuce clapped and then another lightly shown brightly on the stand where
Catherine supposedly "magically" appeared.
She whipped around and threw one at me I jumped
and did the splits landing on the lions back on my hands. As the knife
zoomed by towards the crowd an preformer stood up and caught it, an light
also shown on him. At the exzact same time sparks flew from the dierection
the flying knife went and originated on the outside of the circle.
She then slowly turned towards Trowa, looking like
an animal hunting it's prey. She suddenly whipped out two knifes and hurled
them at him. He did a forward flip in the air and landed back on the lion
as the sparks went off and the light on the catcher from Lee's knife died
away.
Catherine then faced me as I jumped off the lion
at the right side, the lion going over to Trowa. She looked at me and then
threw two daggers at me. I caught the first one with my left hand, reaching
over to her other side and caught the second one inches from my face between
my index and middle finger.
The crowd gasped and I threw them both down, directed
at targets that the crowd couldn't see. The places where they hit flew
sparks, to the left and right of Catherine. then all at once all different
lights came on pointed at all different actors.
The rest dragged on and I soon became hot, and sweaty
going through my routine. When everything was finished I was glad to have
the spotlights off of me. But the manager soon came up to me and gave me
more bad news as I wiped the back of my neck with an ice pack.
"Be back in the main hall in 15 minutes for photographs
and or pictures", I groaned inward to myself as because I knew the main
hall into the tent would be filled with bodys and no AC.
Walking back to my trailer I kept my Ice pack on
and quickly dried myself off from sweat before dressing in an mirror image
outfit, and not the sweat soaked out from before. My body probably wasn't
used to moving like that under an blazing spotlight; I probably needed
to work out more.
I heard an knock at the door and took out the annoying
clip; it was now offically off of my costume list. I held the ice pack
in place as I went to the door; opening I found Trowa standing there in
his costume.
"It's time", he said softly. I pulled off my ice
pack and took out my keys locking the door behind me; stepping into the
blistering sun I knew I was going to faint within 10 minutes. I didn't
say anything to Trowa though. Maybe I could escape before it happened.
The thing was that when I over heated I got really sick, maybe I could
then stop it before it got worse ... I doubt it.
Walking in the back way to the main hall I nearly
gaged. It was at least 10 degrees hotter in hear than it was outside. Sitting
down at a table me and Trowa waited a few minutes before people started
filtering in. Ton's came in their dierection.
Fifteen minutes had gone by and I was feeling worse
by the second, I sat down and a little girl and boy, probably twins, came
up to me and gave me a picture. It was of me and Trowa, it had two lions;
and in the crowd were two little figures with arrows pointed to them.
"Thanks", I rasped, my throat dry. Both the little
girl and boy beamed, I took my picture with them and another with Trowa.
As we were starting to walk outside; everything drew drastically hotter.
"Tro .. w .. a-" I managed to say as everything
around me black out; Trowa must have caught me because I vaugely remeber
not hitting the ground.
