BLACK'S POV

I heavily scowl as I lean back on the wall watching White entertain the tiny child with his hat. Her bright mismatched eyes fervently glow with each and every jungle of his bells as she reaches out in an attempt to catch them.

I left for not even five minutes.

She promised to be here when I got back.

She promised to let me selfishly ravish her body.

But she didn't include that she would be a ****ing toddler -!

"Mother of -!"

"Black!" White barks catching my attention. "What have I said about cursing in front of small children?"

"S-Screw that you merry trash! I thought you said you secured the room!"

"I did. But then someone had to leave for a while putting off our little evening plans with my wife." An excited shiver runs down our spines at the mere word. Wife ... yeah. She's my wife. Mine alone and no one else's. I was so happy when she said yes. Yes to be forever mine. Yes, giving me permission to finally get down and dirty with the ravishing woman, finally following my lustful and lewd thoughts.

But now I can't do anything to her because she's a ****ing -!

"Bah!" She joyfully shrieks as she finally succeeds in catching a bell. She tugs on it with all of her little might, making it wildly jingle with an annoying chorus. I woefully burst out in an echoing wail smacking my head hard against my desk.

"WHYYYYYYYYYYY~!" I shout trembling with fury. So close ... she was just about to spread and then I had to leave and then that stupid motha humpa came and -! "AAAGHGHCAHOFHHGHHA I WANT TO GO OUT AND TEAR EVERYTHING IN SIGHT IN FU - FREAKING HALF!"

"Yes ... my feelings exactly. However, we cannot for that would be rude, now wouldn't it my little Jackie?" White disgustingly coos rubbing his nose on hers. She widely smiles and slaps his cheeks, crazily flailing her arms about in pure euphoric joy. He chuckles and kisses her forehead completely absorbed in her childish behavior. Ugh ... I hate kids. They're just plain annoying. Even if this is my wife here I can't help but feel pissed off every time I -

She adorably hiccups catching both of our attentions. Her face falls into confusion as her wide eyes look down at her belly, almost as though searching for the source of it.

I snort a chuckle. See, they're just so stupid that -

She gives up with bubbling laughter flashing two single teeth. White smiles, completely captivated by her cuteness as he gives her a big hug. She struggles in his overwhelming grasp as he pulls out a card, showing her one side before flipping it to the other side. Her eyes remain wide as she becomes more and more amazed each time my stupid Jester half turns it to the other side.

Geh, so easily amazed it's not even funny -

With a wild shrill she snatches the card from White's hand, lifting it up to more closely examine it. She opens her mouth, clamping her lips over the card as she gnaws at the corner of it.

"Oh~ she's so adorable! Black, don't you think so?" He hums kissing her on her pudgy cheek. She shrieks with exuberant laughter batting his face with her tiny fists.

"She's slobbering all over you of course not." I miff scowling over her tiny body. Such a tricky spell ... not only do we have to find the origin of the stuff but we have to pinpoint exactly what it did to her body. I close my eyes in annoyance tightly gripping my arms. ****. We have to find the course the poison took before we can even begin to think of where to go for the ingredients of the cure and where he obtained it from and how he got it and -

"Black, hold your arms out." I obediently does as he asks keeping my eyes tightly shut. **** this is tedious. Where to even begin? The black market would be our best shot but even that is almost guaranteed to fail. I jump as a sudden weight is placed into my arms. My eyes bug out as I spy baby Jackie bubbling spit in her mouth as White backs away arms up.

"Be a lamb and watch our wife for me? I'm going to go and track down this little intruder." White hums as he shudder's into the air.

"Get your lazy a - butt in here!" I shout. Too late; he's already gone. I tremble with the new prospect which hangs over me like a noose waiting for my throat. I glower over the bubbling idiot as she looks up to me with large doleful eyes, spit dribbling down her lips. This tiny, ever more frail piece of a beating heart is in my complete and utter possession. So delicate a simple mistake such as dropping her can easily end my own wife's life.

"Hey, Don't make a mess!" I growl, yanking out a hankie as I wipe away the residue. I have to take care of her while White is out having all the fun? What a load of crap! She squirms beneath the cloth's reach trying to slap it away.

"Knock it off brat." I huff tossing the hankie back onto the desk. Great. Just freaking perfect. Now what am I supposed to do? I kill people, not entertain little kids like that circus scum.

"Bah bah bah, bah!" She happily cries smacking my chest.

Yeah, I'm not dealing with this.

‡

"Oh~ she's adorable!" The female acrobat delightfully cries as she takes the child from my hands.

"Tch. Make sure she doesn't get into trouble!" I growl angrily glaring over her tiny form. Pisses me off so much ... I can't even do anything to her now! I turn on my heels heading back to the jail. If I was seen carrying her around no doubt they'll make snide and snotty remarks; of the which I would have to peel right off their stupid faces.

CYAN'S POV

A child, hm? Well, this is quite the interesting turn. I silently watch from the shadows as the female circus attendants blubber over Jackie's new confining form, amused and amazed at every little thing she does. My clock races as a faint flush finds its way to my cheeks. So cute~

I am so envious of Joker. He gets to interact with lovely children and smiles while I just watch Griffin have his fun with the gladiators. I numbly watch as someone calls for the acrobats attention, waving her over. She smiles and places the child down turning her back to another woman who was also called away, telling the other to watch the toddler. Their communication skills are terrible! Jackie merely sits for a moment, tossing some dirt in the air before the act becomes boring for her. A man pushing a heavy cart filled with shiny trinkets catches the little girl's attention as she broadly smiled.

Uh oh.

She quickly waddled off after the cart leaving her caretakers in the dust. What terrible skills they have in watching a little girl. I slip from tent to tent wary not to be caught. If a clown sees me or worse yet, Joker, I will not be let off easy by Griffin. Ever since that little ordeal with Joker turning into a faceless child Griffin has been obsessed with Jackie. Whether he truly notices it or not. My cheeks darken a tad as I hop from place to place among the crowd keeping my gaze on the little girl. If they get together I will not mind. After all ... my entire face heats with as I kindly smile; I'll have someone to play 'hide and seek' with if she does end up with Griffin.

Oh?

I watch as the toddler plods after the cart out of the circus. She has a lot of energy for a little tyke. I swing among the trees silently dancing through shadows. How far is she going to go? I jump as the man turns around, unsheathing a knife as he worriedly glances over his shoulder.

"Sorry, Jackie, but I can't let this go on." He says, turning to the girl. She stops on the road eyes glued to a pretty little blade of grass. She falls to her bottom and plucks the strand out, closely observing the tiny veins within.

SVIT

I hastily shove the man's throat slashed carcass behind the bushes before Jackie looks up to me with bright, mismatched eyes. She wildly waves her arms as a big smile stretches across her cheeks.

"Cyan Cyan!" She cried joyfully clapping her hands. When was the last time someone has expressed joy in my presence like this? I crouch down and take her up in my arms nuzzling with nose with mine. So cute ... but, I should really return her now. I'm sure Joker won't let those women off easily. I turn to leave before her wide yawn catches my eye. Awe ... did she tire herself out from all that running? Jackie limply set her head to my shoulder numbly staring at her little prisoner piece of grass.

...

...maybe I'll just leave a note for Joker.
