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 don't 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 cartwheeled onto the
wire. I glanced down slightly to see Trowa in a different suit climbing
the oppisite 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 hand stand. using my hands I turned so
I was parallel with the wire. Making my feet go forwards my feet touched
down infront 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 positsioned my self so I would fall. Making my
hand go 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 appluading. 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 annouced 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 clipps, 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 me and Trowa 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 and then back at her; she sighed again and was about to speak,
I interupted.
"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 inbetween 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 thereand
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.
