Me: I'm back!
Rin: She doesn't own Yugioh and never will. Neither does she own Elecktra. No flames please, but everything else is appreciated.
Me: Yeah, what she said.
"What! Why do you want to go back to the circus?"
Akio sighed and looked at Rin calmly. "Because we need to find out what's going on there. Something bad is going on."
Rin nodded and then jumped up, raising her fist in the air. "Alright! Let's go!" Akio gave her a gentle smile and made her sit down before she hurt herself. Again.
"First, we have to get there and Mom and Dad won't let us go back."
"Well you're the smart one, you figure something out." Rin said leaning back on the couch, her head leaning over the edge. Akio shrugged and went back to playing his violin. He stared at the notes on the page, not really focusing on them, but rather on how he and Rin were going to get to the Circus again.
"Akio?"
"Yeah?"
Rin sat back up again and pursed her lips. "What if...what if the enemy is after our powers. What if we get hurt?"
Akio put his violin in his case and went over to his sister, resting his forehead on hers. "I won't let anything hurt you. I'll always protect you, because that's what brothers are for."
Rin nodded and smiled. "Like wise, I'll protect you because you're my little brother."
Akio leaned back, pondering over something for a minute. "Should we bring Amba? Maybe she would like to go back."
Rin shook her head. "Let's not drag her into this. I love her and all, but I would rather it just be us. We'll be like secret agents!"
Akio raised an eyebrow. "Secret agents?"
Rin laughed and then put on a fake serious expression. "Agent Akio, are you ready to invade enemy territory?"
"Rin, you're scaring me."
"To go where no man has ever gone before..."
"Rin, stop it!"
"To do dangerous things and not give a crap.."
"Enough!" Akio shrieked and ran out of the room, Rin following him; still chanting those ridiculous expressions. They ran into the kitchen, passed their mother, who was preparing for dinner that night. She raised an eyebrow at the two children running past her.
"Rin, Akio, what are you doing?"
Akio ran behind her. "Mom, make Rin stop! She's begining to scare me!"
Anzu stared at her daughter. "Rin, how are you scaring Akio?
Rin laughed and leaned against the counter. "I was just doing some monologuing. Akio's just being a wuss."
"Hey!"
Anzu breathed through her nose. "Isuzu, how many times have I told you to not call your brother names?" Rin stoped smiling and frowned. When she was called by her first name, it meant bad news.
"You told me not to call him names. Sorry." She said, a sulking tone in her voice. Anzu nodded and went back to the counter, picking up her cutting knife and glancing at her daughter out of the corner of her eye. "I should hope you are."
Akio then turned to Anzu. "Mom, can Rin and I go to the park?"
Anzu nodded, not looking up from her cutting. "Fine by me, but come back before six."
Rin glanced at the clock. It was 3:30. That didn't give them a whole lot of time to investigate. Rin and Akio nodded to their mother and ran out the door, the circus flyer in their hands. It would take at least half and hour to get the the fair grounds. If the hurried, they would make it in atleast twenty minutes. Rin pulled her brothers hand and they broke out into a sprint, not even noticing Elecktra staring at them from a park bench.
...
"Sasori, what are we going to do when the twins arrive?"
Sasori ran a hand through his bright orange hair and turned to Gypsie with a bored expression. "We wait. There isn't much we can do."
"Don't we need the twins?"
Sasori sighed. "We only need one of them really. I don't care which one, but I want the girl."
Gypsie raised an eyebrow. "Isuzu? Why her? Her brother is equally powerful."
Sasori nodded and then got up from his chair, looking through the other circus members. "I want her because she is fire. We need fire to survive. And besides, she's the one who can read the future. That could be useful."
Gypsie nodded. "I see. But how would we get her?"
Sasori gave a chuckle. "I'll think of something. I'm very persausive." He took the woman by her arm and pulled her into his chest. He traced his fingers lightly over her arm and inhaled the scent of her hair. "You know I'm very persausive."
Gypsie smiled. "That I know."
...
"Rin, we're here!"
Rin looked up at the huge circus area and nodded. "I see that. I also see other people are here for the games, so we won't be trespassing."
Akio looked at her with a serious expression. "Let's split up and look around. We'll do better seprerately."
"Okay." Rin agreed and she took off towards the right, Akio headed towards the left towards some tents. He looked inside the first one, seeing nothing but equipment in it. He frowned and headed towards the second one. The second one, also had nothing in it.
Akio sighed and continued looking through the tents. It was begining to seem impossible to find any answers. Every tent was either empty or it was holding some act in it. He was about ready to give up when he heard someone singing from the tent next to him. His eyes immediately lit up, knowing who was singing. Running inside, he saw it was that girl, Kisa.
Kisa was sitting in her cage, her legs drawn to her chest. Akio looked at her closely, seeing she really was deformed. Her legs weren't human legs, they were a horses legs and were as white as snow. Her skin was deathly pale and hat strange spots on them. Looking more closely, he recognized that they were scales! Her black hair was normal looking, but her eyes weren't. They looked like they belonged to a tiger.
She looked up at him and gasped. "You! What...what are you doing here?"
Akio went down to his knees and stared at her. "I came here with my sister. I saw you, the real you."
Kisa stared at him in confusion. "The...real me?"
"I saw how you were feeling. Your true feelings."
Kisa sighed. "You see the past, don't you? And I'm guessing your sister can see the future?"
"Well actually, she reads it. It's like reading a book."
Kisa nodded. "That's pretty amazing," she looked down and frowned, "And dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Akio asked, a look of confusion on his own face. "How can that be dangerous?"
Kisa stared at him in the eyes. "It means that you and your sister are in danger. You have to leave while you still can!"
"Why?"
Kisa looked down at the ground, and then stared back up at him, leaning through the bars to get clsoer to his face. "Because once you're in the circus, you can never leave. We're cursed."
...
"Hmmmmm I don't see anything here." Rin said as she examined the big tent, even though it was off limits. She sighed and looked around the area, not seeing anythng, but she felt a strange prescence. Like something was watching her.
"You there! What are you doing here?"
She turned around to see the Ring master coming towards her, an angry look on his face. Rin bowed her head in apology. "I'm sorry, I was only looking around," She stuck her hand out to him, "My name is Isuzu, but most people call me Rin."
The Ring master dropped his angry expression and smiled. "You're Isuzu? I've been looking for you."
Rin took a step back. "You were looking for me? Why?"
He smiled. "My name is Sasori. And the circus has been waiting for you Rin."
Me: CLIFFFIE!
Rin: That's cold.
Me: Why yes it is. But I shall be back soon! School will be starting soon, so yeah...
