Chapter Four: Trust

It was the next night, and the Circus was going to have a show. Lavi was downright excited, jumping up and down. "We're gonna see Moyashi fail~!" He sang as he skipped down the dark streets. Lenalee sighed as the others just kept walking. "Remember Lavi, we have to get Allen to be a little more close with us so we can get back to the other world." Lenalee reminded him. Lavi nodded, saying, "~I know!"

They walked inside the Circus, finding a man there. "Tickets for five?" He asked. Lenalee nodded.

He handed her the tickets and she handed him cash. "Thank you."

They walked inside the crowded Circus and took a seat, and waited for it to begin.

Finally, the host walked up in the cage that was on the stage. "Welcome to our magnificent circus whee everyone will have a good time! Now then, first on stage will be our friend Red here who will be doing a dangerous act!" Everyone began to cheer as the teen, Red, walked up onto the stage onto a tightrope holding eight balls. He was dressed up all funky and wore clown makeup. He didn't look too happy either.

"Now this boy will walk the tightrope with only one foot while juggling, and if he falls, he will get eaten alive by the lions. If he makes it to the other side, then he'll still get eaten by the lions. Enjoy!" He said as he ran off the stage. Red glared at Cosmio for making him do this. Either way he'd get eaten? Seriously? Oh well...

"Release the Lions!" Eight hungry lions came flying out of their cages. Red had already began juggling and walking with on foot on the tightrope. He looked as if he did this everyday, which he did. The crowd was roaring and clapping as Red came close to the end, where lions were waiting for him. The crowd was still cheering.

Lenalee was amazed, but then looked worried when she saw that he was walking into the lions. She saw the crowd was cheering. She looked at a cheering fan and tapped her. "Why are you all cheering? He's about to get eaten!" She asked in annoyance. The woman laughed. "You must be new in town. I've been watching this Circus many times, and that clown, Red, is pretty famous around this place. He's never once failed and there's no way he'd fail now." She explained as Lenalee and the others looked amazed as they continued to watch.

Red was closing in on the lions, and jumped off. The lions cornered him as Red smirked. He took the eight balls he was juggling and threw them each at the lions, knocking them out. The crowd cheered as the host came out again. "Now the next act!"

*After The Show...*

"Wow! That was amazing when Moyashi had beat up those gorillas!" Lavi laughed as he ran up to Red to compliment him. They saw that Red was surrounded by fans, and he was glaring at them and telling them to leave. The disappointed fans left Red alone as he sighed in annoyance.

"Red! That was an amazing show! I loved when you-"

"Lavi." Lenalee cut him off. "Let's not annoy him..." She gave him a look that reminded him of their goal. He nodded. Red stared at the group. "Oh...you guys again." You could just barley see a look of happiness in his eyes. "What do you people want?" He asked in annoyance. Lenalee smiled.

"We really enjoyed your show, Red!" She complimented as Red looked to the side. "Thanks...I guess." Lenalee's smile widened. "Why don't we talk over some dinner? We can pay."

Lenalee was almost sure he'd refuse, but to everyone's surprise, he accepted. "Sure. Got nothin' better to do. But you're paying!" He told them. "Lenalee giggled. "Of course!"

"Soooo...Red..." Lavi began awkwardly. "W-Well...why do you hide your arm all the time? I mean...it's not...that...bad." He asked. Red looked at him, hesitantly. "E-Err...It's none of your concern." Red told them, not wanting to worsen things. They were the first people not to care about how it looks. He was surprised. But he still wouldn't just show his arm to anyone because of that.

"Why don't you people care about my arm anyways?" He asked. They looked a little taken a back, but then Lenalee smiled. "Who cares about your looks? I mean your arm is unique. It makes you who you are. You shouldn't hide it from others!" She explained to Red as he thought about it.

"Well, they call me a demon, a monster, and try to hurt me or run away from me...I don't want that to happen again." He said quietly as Lenalee looked sad. "I'm so sorry you have had to live with that your whole life..." Red was confused why she was even apologizing. Why did she even care so much? They just met after all.

Suddenly, a scream was heard. The six looked towards the source to see that a woman was going to get killed by an akuma. Lenalee narrowed her eyes. "Akuma..." Red was shocked. "W-What the hell is that...thing?!" He asked as he continued to stare at it.

Lenalee activated her boots and took it down. She evacuated everyone and then deactivated her innocence. "Red...those were akuma. Akuma are weapons created by the Millennium Earl. They're mindless killing machines that kill innocent people." She began.

Red looked at her like she was crazy. Once second they were just having a normal conversation and now this? Lenalee caught this. "You saw it with your own eyes, didn't you?" Red narrowed his eyes as she explained about exorcists and the god crystal. "And your arm is innocence. It just hasn't awoken yet."

Red snickered, and then broke into laughter. "That's all BS! You think I'm going to believe all that?!" He put back on his straight face. " I'm going back to the circus. You people are crazy after all." He told them, whispering the last part a bit, as he began to walk back.

"W-Wait! Red!" Lenalee called for him. She was stopped by Lavi putting a hand on her shoulder. "Let him take in the information. Leave him be for now." Lenalee sighed and then nodded. She had figured that it must be tough for him to learn all of that I just one day.

"Damn...my life's been crazy with those weirdos around..." Red mumbled to himself as he paced down the street. "My arm..." He looked at his gloved hand. "Is...innocence?" He stared at it for a minute, then a loud crash had erupted in front of him.

It was another one of those akuma. He glared at it. "Your the damn reason I feel this way!" Red yelled at it. It stared at Red, causing him to shiver. "I...I..." Red stared at his left arm and took the glove off. 'Activate. Activate. ACTIVATE!' It was no use. Nothing was changing. He was stupid for even trying that.

The akuma pulled out a big cannon. A purple beam shot out of it. Red closed his eyes. 'T-This is the end. I'm really going to die?' He thought in his mind as he frowned. "Red! No!" A voice called out, causing Red to snap out of it. Red knew that voice...It was Violet, who was a fellow clown. She and Red were very great friends, ever since Red joined the circus.

Suddenly, everything went white as Red felt a weird sensation inside of him. When everything was clear, Red opened his eyes and he stared in shock at his left arm. It was glowing green and had turned into a big silver claw. He subconsciously killed the akuma.

After he deactivated his arm, Red stared at the purple-haired teen in front of him. Her straight hair grew to her hips, and her deep purple eyes were staring into his blood red eyes.

Lenalee and the others had been watching from a distance ever since he activated his arm. They were glad he did. They thought he'd be a goner. They noticed that Red was staring at a beautiful girl in front of him. "V-Violet?" They heard him stutter. "Red...W-What just happened? Why was your arm like that?!" She wondered in shock as she walked towards the brown-haired teen and hugged him, causing Lavi to snicker and earn a slap from Lenalee.

"I don't know what happened, but I'm glad your okay." She cooed in relief as she stared at Red, just inches away.

"Umm..sorry to interrupt your lovey reunion thingy, but who's the chick?" Lavi asked Red as he got up and glared. Red got up and glared at Lavi. "Chick?" Lavi threw his hands up in defense. "Heh heh...sorry! I meant beautiful woman." Violet looked at the others and smiled.

"How very nice to meet you! I'm Violet, a clown at the Circus.
