Ia's POV

"W-what's happening?

Why are my hands red?"

"Ia, follow me!!"

"____ Is that you?"

"W-what's happening!! Everything is becoming blurry!!"

I opened my eyelids rapidly and found myself lying on the bed and my forehead sweating. It seemed to be dark outside.

"Ugh!!" I covered my face with my white pillow.

Len's POV

I held my hair up and tied it in a small ponytail. I put on a pair of used up trousers and buttoned my white shirt.

Today is moving day, meaning we're transferring the entire circus to the next city, I believe we're transferring to Glasgow.

I packed my bags and joined Dell and Yuuma at the front entrance or at least what used to be the front entrance.

"You ready?" Asked Dell in a monotone voice.

"Yup!"

🎈 A R T S 🎈

We took a train to our destination. The circus had a low budget there for we rode the third class, it wasn't that bad but I'm used to first class riding.

After reaching our supposed camping spot every one unloaded and set up all the tents, it was only a matter of hours until it was completely set up.

Miku's POV

"I'm kinda tired." I turned to Ia sitting next to me.

"You do realize you did next to nothing, right?" Yuuma teased

"I helped unload! That's something, right?"

"You did great Miku!" I smiled at me.

"Thanks!" I returned a grin.

"Anyway! Do you want to go see the city with me?"

"...but I'm so tieeeeeeeeereeeeeed." I pouted.

"Fine! Then I'll go to that leek store with Yukari." She got up from the floor and walked away. Something changed in my mind as if someone activated a switch.

"Leeks?" I mumbled as Ia left me alone with Yuuma. I sprung up from the ground and ran as fast as I could. "I want leeks!" I ordered.

"K k, then let's go!" We walked to the entrance where Yukari waited for us.

"Alright! Let's go!" The purple haired girl exclaimed.

🎈 A R T S 🎈

"We've been walking for hours! Where's the freaking spring onion store?!" I pouted.

"Oh...uh....about that...." Yukari stuttered.

"She lied." Ia confessed. A small vain popped out on my forehead, my nose was twitching and my left eye had a tick.

"W-what?" I muttered

"Well then time to go back, c'mon Ia!" She pulled her hand and ran away from me.

"Wait I have to go buy strawberries!!" Ia shouted as Yukari took her away.

".......Yukari!!!!!" I dashed after her, however the heavy bags I carried slowed me down.

Yuuma's POV

After the circus was set up and everything was in place I started working on Yukari and my routine for tomorrow's show.

'I'm assuming she'll be back soon'

I felt nervous for some reason, maybe it's because of Luka. It was all so sudden, who could have seen it coming?
I'm starting to think this place might not be entirely safe; then again, I may just be overreacting.

"Hey Yuuma, you ok?" Gumi's voice pulled me back from my thoughts, her curious emerald eyes starring back into my yellow ones.

"Yes, I'm fine. No need to worry." I casually said

"Alright then, what are you doing anyway?"

"Just brainstorming for tomorrow's show." She sat next to me on the wooden bench and replied with a smile "I'll help! Look, how about... You turn the tent ceiling into the night sky!!" She enthusiastically exclaimed.

"...it's a hard trick but I guess I could do it." Her face light up, she seemed to be quite happy with me liking her idea. "Besides, Yukari is pretty strong too, she could help..."

"R-right..."

"Ok then! I know what to do!" I got up from the wooden bench.

"Where are you going?" Gumi races to my side.

"I should go find Yukari, we need to start practicing post haste!"

"She went to the city with Miku and Ia! I'm nots ute if they'll be back for a while though, I—" a high pitched voice interrupted her explanation.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!" The rabbit girl shriek. She held Ia's hand as she ran away from the rampaging Miku. "Yuuma heeeeelp!!!" She let go of Ia and hugged me tightly.

"W-what happened?!"

"Yukari, tried Miku into coming with us." Ia confessed.

"So?"

"You didn't say anything about leeks, right?" Gumi asked with an expression showing a bit of fear. Both the girls stated in silence.

"You did!!! Didn't you??!!" Miku was nearly on top of us I could hear Yukari whimper. I looked to my left and saw Gumi and Ia ten feet apart from us.

"Sorry!" The green haired girl apologized.
I was dead.

A R T S

"I'm really sorry Yuuma!!! I guess I kinda just lost it." Miku let out a nervous laugh. Yukari finished wrapping the bandage around my head, she had a small frown on her face.

"It's fine, really. You can go now, I don't want to be a burden."

"Not at all!! But if you do want us to leave, I'll see you later." The girls walkd out of the room, Yukari stayed though, she stood in front of me while starring at the ground.

"I'm sorry..." Her faint voice apologized. I sighed and made her sit down beside me.
"No need to apologize, you were just playing."
Silence rained for a short few moments.

"Yukari, promise me no matter what..." Her eyes fixed on me, wondering what I'm thinking "promise me you'll be safe..." I whispered loud enough for her to hear.

"I promise!" She gave me a big smile and planted a small kiss on my cheek, right before exiting the room.

'Good'

-------------

I wonder I Yuuma sounded kinda pervy in the end... Oh well!

I thought it might be for the best if I made a more 'normal' chapter... Just to break the dynamic a bit so it's not all death and betrayal. Also, sorry I haven't updated in a while >~< I'll try to update In a few weeks, I was kind of out of ideas for a while....
But anyway, thanks for reading

Bye
