Daruma Murata

   Laito snucked in the backstage as quickly as he could. It didn't take to long to find the air dancer, as everyone calls her. Daruma was brushing her hair and removing the extra makeup she had on. As she was brushing her hair, she could sense that someone was watching her. She slowly turns her turn, but she saw that their was no one. She just shrugs it off and continues to brush her hair. 

"I must say you do look quite lovely." 

   Daruma jumps from fright when she saw who was talking to her. Laito was leaning on a wall close to her. He has a smirk planted on his face as he watches the girl trying to calm herself. 

"You startled me!" Daruma finally calms down. 

Daruma walks towards Laito. She copies his smirk as her own. "You know, you're not suppose to be here. Stage members only." 

"I didnt' know that. Well, since I'm here. Why don't you and I have a little talk?" 

   Daruma stares at Laito. She pretends to think it over and nods in agreement.  She insisted that they both would talk outside. Outside of the tent and away from an other stage performers, Laito and Daruma are able to talk. 

"Okay, we're outside. Now what is it that you want to talk about?" Daruma asks with her hands on her hips. 

"Well, what's a girl like you in a circus?" Laito started the conversation. 

   Daruma rubs one of her arms and starts to explain. Daruma lost her family at age seven.  She didn't have any other living relatives that she knew of. She was just an orphan. One day the circus came to her hometown. She and the other orphans went to go see the circus. And she loved it. That's what she wanted to do. To be a performer like the air acrobats. So she snuck out of the orphanage and went to the circus tent before they left. Daruma spotted the rope that was used in the air acrobatics. So, she decided to give it a try. It took at least three tries, Daruma was able to dance in the air like the performance she saw. As she finished her act, she heard clapping and cheering from behind her. All the circus performers were there giving Daruma an applause. The ring master step close to Daruma and offered her a spot in the circus. Excitement filled Daruma's heart and she happily agreed. So for ten years, she was a circus performer and the circus treated her like family. 

   After hearing her story, Laito felt a little bad that Daruma lost her family so suddenly. So after that talk. They decided to talk about their interests. Everything was turning out okay. They shared some more stories and had some laughs.  Daruma saw that it was getting really and had to go get some rest for tomorrows show. Laito wanted to see her again. Daruma heads towards her room and comes back with a paper in her hand. She hands it to Laito, giving him a wink and waves away. 

Back at the Sakamaki mansion

Laito had finally arrived home and with a huge grin on his face. 

"There you are. What took you so long?" Kanato ask appearing right behind Laito. Even his other brothers and the girls were there. 

Laito waves his paper with Daruma's number and leaves. 

"Was that a phone number he was waving at us?" Ayato asks. 

"I think it was." Yui answers
