Yay! Chapter two! This will be fun, seeing Ren with a completely different
personality...(don't worry, nothing happens to Ren- THE Ren....)
Disclaimer: I own nothing...blah blah blah...yeah yeah yeah....you know the rest.
One thing: Yoh does not have a tendency to speak the speak of the 50's. There is simply a lot of sarcasm in this short chapter. (Ahh, sarcasm. Proof that Yoh and Ren aren't yaoi couples in EVERY fic. ^_^)
Another thing: A lot of the story of the Cirque du Soleil shows is officially not going to be very accurate (meaning I went onto the site and looked up the stories and meaning behind them)...and I'm sure I'll leave out quite a few details. (Visit the site, and go to spectaculera, or something spelled like that...it gives the meanings of the stories, which are somewhat different than my ideas.)

"Guifa!"
The water flooded everything- over the banks, through the trees. It fell from the sky in a torrential gale that only the drifting zebras barely could endure. The screams of the aquatic creatures and monsters- the cirques of this world- as they struggled to survive in their tipping universe was punishment to all who heard. Flames shot from those who had the power to spew those flames, and water spilled from the rest. Those who were of the sky clung to their aerial perches, their faces concealed under their fins, feathers, arms.
"Guifa?"
A young lady, a black albatross of a lass, struggled through the crowd and the rising waters, screaming the name of a young boy- a boy known for his curiosity and playfulness. The lady albatross herself was of high class, being an aerial creature herself- a "baroque" in the eyes of a Saltimbancan- but this was, of course, not the world of Saltimbanco. This was a world that was named and described with a word that was simply a letter- "O".
"GuifAAAAA!" the lady shouted across the crowd at a boy with a turban. He was looking and running anxiously about, looking for someone himself. Over the noise, Guifa had not her yell. She passed the screaming cirques with great difficulty, until she was able to throw her hand and snag the boy by the wrist. He turned with shock as she tried to pull him toward her.
"Marinkass!" The boy smiled widely as he now
willingly went to her side. One hand still around his wrist, she wrapped her free arm around his body, but concentrated at the conditions. The water was rising- flames spewing- and all that was not drowning was drying to crisp.
Water was at her chin- and Guifa was under it all. She reached down and, with difficulty, pulled Guifa out of the water. He gasped the air as it came into his lungs- he, after all, was not water-borne.
"Nous necessità di uscire d'ici!" She thundered above the waters as she sat him round her wet, feathered shouders. Even in the uproar and ruckus, she could feel him shiver with cold and terror.
"Abbiamo bisogno di usi un trapeeze!" Guifa shouted to her, his voice faltering slighly.
Her eyes widened with sudden fear. Every part of her stopped, as though she were no longer part of the screaming crowd. The boy on her shoulders was weighing her down. The water felt extremely cold around her- constantly flowing past her- what if -in this crowd- someone was screaming- Marinkass, Marinkass-the water was cold around her cheeks, and yet- Marinkass, Marinkass- so relaxing- the screams and now, sobs, ebbed away as the world around her became dark and dry....
...silence now....and so dry.....dry.......dry...........
....: -~*~- :....
Four hours later, nearly done with their one hundred fifty laps, Ren and Yoh took a short walking break along a strip of shops. They were somewhat exhausted.
"Huff huff....'Shut it, peach brain,'....huff..... 'Shut it, peachbrain.'" jeered Ren, panting. "God....huff huff..... If you would just shut your stupid trap sometimes...."
"Don't you start....huff.....blaming me.....huff huff.....if you would keep your maniac laughing to yourself....."
Ren scowled with his spazing eyebrows. "Give me a heart attack, will it...huff huff....I won't be having a heart attack anytime at all...you know what I'm saying?.......huff....I would be so fucking close to being the Shaman King if you weren't in my way....like cattle on a single country road....."
Yoh turned his drooping head so that his hard eye met Ren's directly. "You're panting like a dog right now, and you think you can compare ME to an animal...you've got a lot of nerve, Ren.... A lot of nerve..."
"And you don't.....which is why I am surprised that you are as powerful as you are....you being the WONDERFUL, com-PASSIONATE, LAZY IMBECILE you are..."
Yoh was now throughly pissed. He stopped. "So tell me, Ren. Does being a dickhead come naturally to you? Or do you actually enjoy having a three foot spike come out of your head?"
Ren stopped.
"Say that again....... I dare you to..."
"You heard me." Yoh's eyes narrowed.
Ren began to tremble; Slightly at first, but then huge quakes began to rack his body. His spike twitched immeasurably.
Then, he turned and screamed, "I'll make your ancestors pay for that crack, you son of a bitch! YOU WILL PAY!!!"
Ren's Kwon Dao came screaming out, aiming for Yoh's neck- but Yoh blocked the attack with his haru-same. Both boys positioned themselves in battle stances.
"Bason!!!"
"Amidamaru!!!"
Absolutely nothing happened.
Both Ren and Yoh sweatdropped, realizing the embarrassingly dented detail. Neither Bason or Amidamaru were available, as they had been forced to stay home by...certain beaded conditions....
Ren straightened up. "I hate you." he spat.
"Aside from insulting you and being a cow in your path to greatness, why do you hate me now?"
"This is your fault!" Ren shouted
"ME?!" Yoh yelled back. "Why the hell is *this* one MY fault?!"
"Anna is the one that would not let our ghosts follow us on our run, which I may say, is ALSO your fault!"
"Oh, so now Anna's actions are my fault too? Well, GEE WHIZ, I guess that EVERYTHING is my fault now!!!" Yoh began to shout to no one and everyone in particular. "Lets all blame YOH for EVERYTHING that happens at all! Cars crashing, runaway pets, lost money, food spoiling, babies screaming, rabbits breeding-"
"She is your fault in the matter that she is your fiancee!!!"
"Do you think that it was my CHOICE that she became that?!?!"
Ren had no answer to this, only a direct glare.
"Well?"
No answer. Ren kept his stare, although he was now looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Yoh was annoyed by this silence. "Well! The great, almighty REN is TONGUE TIED! WOW!!! THIS is something new!!!"
Ren turned his head away. His eyes were closed and- could it be?- a faint blush to his cheeks. "Come on, lets just go home. I'm sick of this..."
....: -~*~- :....
Usi un trapeeze!
Usi un trapeeze!
Don't drop me.
I won't. Promise.
....: -~*~- :....
Yoh fumed. Where did Ren get off telling him what to do? Ren started walking away. Looking around quickly, he dashed toward a apothecary shop. "Hang on Ren. I'm going in there."
Ren stopped and said, "No...we're going home. I'm tired."
"I need to go in."
Ren rolled his eyes as he turned back around. "What the hell do you need in there?"
"Uhhh......Ah- Anna wanted me to go there."
Ren looked at him suspiciously.
"....She needs....more aspirin.....headaches...."
"Gee, I wonder why." Ren said sarcastically, "With you causing so much upheaval." But he seemed to finally buy into the story. He started toward Yoh.
Yoh was so relieved by Ren's gullibility that he let the insult go unchallenged. "Great! I'll just be a moment." He started walking toward the shop when- all of the sudden-
"Hey Ren, do you sense something?" Yoh stopped walking. Actually, he knew that Ren had sensed it- it was so strong a sense that any conditioned shaman would pick it up. In fact, he felt that anyone could feel the sharp, synchronized vibrations. He turned around to see Ren, frozen with seriousness, leering down an alleyway.
An alleyway?
"There's something down there." Ren whispered, "Something, an alien being....it's alive..."
Yoh stood next to Ren and looked down the alleyway. The sense grew slightly stronger- only slightly, though. But Ren was right- whatever was causing the sense was down there. Down the alleyway, with its dusty boxes and dirty corners, and small shafts of light pouring through from where the buildings didn't shadow it.
And, looking, he could "see" the point where the vibrations came from....ba - bomp.....ba - bomp.....ba - bomp.....
And he could almost see something that looked like.....
No, it couldn't be, thought Yoh. He turned to his companion, and examined his profile. Could it-?
Ba-bump-ba-bump-ba-bump...
The ringing in his ears...
A heartbeat, but no rhythm...
Ba-bump-ba-bump-ba-bump
A heartbeat, but no rhythm...
"Stop, you fool!" Shouted Ren, but it was too late- Yoh had dashed down the alleyway toward the source. The vibrations were at their peak- and still, they grew stronger yet- Something was over there- he could see the spot- where they all generated from- it was that spot- something alive- something-
Two pairs of bright yellow eyes flashed wide open.
"WHAAAAAA-?!" thought Yoh. This was too surreal- it couldn't be. But, there was so much similarity- how could it be?
Who- what- was this?
"Yoh! You idiot!" The pats of shoes echoed in the alley.
Yoh's head throbbed dangerously from the vibrations, his heart gave unstable pounds, and the eyes of this-this-whatever it was- the golden eyes bored into his mind. The eyes- so similar- and yet, so different- where had he seen them before?
"YOH!" Something grabbed Yoh by the wrist! He instinctively whipped around to pull the hand off- and was caught off guard.
The same yellow eyes, only now pulled into an angry cringe. Golden eyes. Ren's eyes!
Yoh froze. Ren was in this alley, that's what it was- but Ren, Ren was right here, grabbing his wrist-
Yoh immediately yanked his hand out of his grip and took a jump backward. He turned to the other eyes, which still stared at him, unblinkingly, and then he looked back to Ren's eyes.
Ren was no longer cringing. Though it was dark, his pupils had constricted- the whites of his eyes were like headlights.
Yoh turned back to the other pair- they now were perfect mirrors of Ren's. They shifted a little, and came slightly forward. Yoh's head throbbed painfully- his heart was about to jump through his chest- he heard Ren grunt slightly, and curse. Yoh put his hand on Ren's shoulder and push him backward slightly, as he did so himself. The pupils of the lone eyes dialated, and came forward, into a small shaft of light.
The body was, yes, that of Tao Ren. A shady form of him wet, bruised up, bleeding slightly, and- could it be?- shadows of tear stains ran down the sides of his cheeks. It looked cautious, yet curious, and extremely...frightened.
Could this be Ren? Not the Ren that Yoh had known? Despite the throbs in his head, Yoh slowly started to advance onto the other person- the person that looked so much like Ren. This Ren cowered. It plastered himself against the wall of the alley; Its eyes widened with fear, and its mouth fell open in a silent scream. The golden eyes seemed to sparkle with terror...
Yoh stopped and gazed at this character- Ren, who's personality he felt that he knew well, didn't tally at all with this other creature. But what was-
A long spear thundered out and radiated in the darkness- and the spear was pointed at the creature. "What the hell are you?! Why have you disguised yourself as me?!" Ren shouted to the person who groveled upon the bricks behind him.
"Ren, SHUT UP!" Yoh brayed, trying to push the Kwon Dao out of line of the mystery person.
"Get out of my way, Yoh!" The flat side of the spearhead came whizzing around and the next moment, a heavy, severe pain hammered into his head. Something dark and wet ran into his eye from the acutely painful area. He recoiled and lay on the dusty ground, feeling this insipid liquid saunter down his face and his eyes starting to shift their focus.
Ren could feel the vibrations slow down slightly. He tried to see Yoh where had fallen, but it was too dark to do so. Shit, he thought, I thought he would dodge that.
The creature was breathing hard, but rhythmically. The vibrations were softening slightly...ever so slightly...
And they became so rapid again so fast that both Yoh and Ren whined slightly from the pain. Doubled...tripled...quadrupled....they multiplied so fast that soon it was nearly impossible to discern the rhythm.
The person was no longer cowering against the wall. It was leaning slightly forward, its fingers gripping the bricks tightly. Its eyes were wide, its teeth gritted- its expression that of maniacal enragement.
Then it leapt forward into the shadows. Ren froze, his eyes no longer useful to him, listening to the best of his ability. But every sound he heard was in an impossibly different location, all around him, echoing in the dark alley.
And then- GLOMMMP! It had latched to his face!!! He struggled to get it off, but it held tight with its surprisingly dull teeth, save the front few. He realized that, whatever it was, be it himself or be it something else- had actually locked him into a die-hard kiss!
With this realization came the shock- not for the actual kiss, but what was caused by it- for at that moment, a huge, feathered something slid into his mouth and tried to go down his throat- a dark, gritty bird!!!
Ren choked loudly and pushed away- and the other came off as well. Whatever was in his mouth disintegrated into a moving, squirming, fluttering mass. The person landed in a shaft of light, with something coming out of its mouth. Ren had his mouth too, and out of it flew-
A swarm of butterflies? Ren thought. "What are you?" He demanded, wiping blood off of his lips.
It closed its eyes for a moment, and relaxed.
"Ab jetzt, quelqu'un de nessuna preoccupazione." It said finally, eyes flashing open and a smile flashing dangerously.
The butterflies suddenly started flapping hard, round and round in circles around Ren's head. Ren tried to sweep them away, but with each flick of his wrist they grew steadily in number, until his whole body was surrounded. And then, all at once, they attacked him.
Ren's scream ricocheted like a catalepsy.
