*Soflora didn't want to let donte go, but as he insisted to go down she shied and nodded, "i guess he would enjoy i..." she stopped her thought and looked to him down in the ring. "Funny i figured he would be... more excited looking... or... donte-ish. Somthing dosn't feel right." She looked to Kirro, "you getting anything out of this?"

Kiiro shrugged. "There are too many people here, I can't zone in one Dante or anything. There's a lot of... pressure." She shook her head. "No matter how hard I try I can't feel anything. It feels like there's a barrier too. Between the audience and the ring." However Kiiro kept trying as she listened to the woman. The woman giggled and messed up Dante's hair. "Right then, lets get started!" The whole ring finally was in the light, showing all kinds of different actors and performers, mostly children, lined up around the ring. Then the creepy guy called Rat appeared next to Dante and the ringmaster. The Ringmaster leaned down again and whispered something in Dante's ear. He nodded, and he suddenly shifted into his full wolf form. The crowd awed, and the Ringmaster patted his side. "Good! Now lets test your skill young Dante!" There were a couple of fire breathers at the side who let out a spurt of flames around them and a large ring was brought out on a stand. "Lets try it easy first. Dante, jump through the hoop." Dante did as the woman said, and jumped through the hoop with ease, even though it was a bit of a jump. The woman giggled. "Easy right?" Dante looked back and barked. The woman grinned more. "Right, lets try a little harder now." The woman motioned for one of the fire breathers to set the ring on fire. Now Dante was only a little intimidated. "Now jump through it again!" Dante nodded slowly and jumped through, not as gracefully, but without singing his fur at least. The crowd applauded and cheered. "As to be expected from the young prince!" The man shouted. Kiiro frowned. "They're parading him around like a show pony."

*Soflora nodded, "i think they may be doing more then that, i think donte would be alittle more routy... thats not just him." She took kirros hand and started so slowly move through the crowds of people, "we need to get either down there, or at least to a spot you can tell. That... or if they get him hurt i'll have to really get into things. It just dosn't feel right..." she glared, "i got the feeling earlyer... but it's hard to tell." Even while moving she kept a carful eye on donte.

The side performers took the ring away and Dante made his way back over to the ringmaster. She grinned more. "Now then... we've seen that Dante here is good at concentration and agility. But how is he when it comes to self control?!" Different assistants brought a large wooden wall out from backstage and slid it over to them. The woman whispered in Dante's ear again and he shifted back. "Now then, Dante. Why don't you go and put your back against that wall." Dante pulled a face but did as she said. "Spread your arms." He did. Then another assistant brought a leather bag over to the woman and she licked her lips. "Hope you aren't fidgety mister Dante." The Ringmaster pulled out a couple of daggers and threw them at Dante, missing him and getting stuck in the wall either side of his neck. Very close, though. Dante broke a sweat. "Doing all right there kid?" The woman sneered and threw a few more daggers at him, one landing just underneath his crotch, and the other two just under his armpits. Dante blinked a few times and the woman smiled. "He didn't flinch! Lucky him~" The crowd cheered more, however Rat had disappeared to the side and was watching Kiiro and Soflora carefully. He then went over to the Ringmaster and whispered something to her. She nodded and smiled to the crowd. "And now we move onto the last event with our amazing volunteer!"

*Soflora glared as her hand started to squeeze onto kirros alittle tighter, "No matter what, dont let go..." she replied with low tone. Meanwhile she placed her hand into her coat, even if there was a barrior, she knew kirro could go through it, and she was ready to do what was nessassary.*

As the Ringmaster led Dante out of the ring for a second all the performers came in and started to do their thing. Tight rope walkers, fire breathers, beast tamers, acrobats, you name it. They were all there. The Ringmaster and Rat were talking to Dante backstage telling him what he was going to do for the finale. Of course Dante lapped it up, he just wanted to have a little fun. And so they all confirmed as the Ringmaster went back out into the ring again. "Are you all reeeaaaddddyyyy?!" The crowd cheered as Dante was shoved back out into the light again, and made his way over to the Ringmaster. There was a large box rolled into the ring, and the assistants stopped it just before Dante and the Ringmaster. The woman grinned and opened the door to the box. "Now then Dante, why don't you sit tight in this box and we'll carry on from there." Dante did as she said and walked into the box, where the woman carefully shut him in. The assistants came again and rolled the box with Dante in it all around the ring. "A simple disappearing act, yes?" She giggled as the box was rolled back over to her again. "I bet what you're all expecting to see is an empty box, right?" She smiled and opened the box. "Wrong~" There laid a mauled Dante, lying in a bed of nails and sharp objects. He was gouged, cut, and torn to bits. The crowd gasped and one lady swooned. The ringmaster giggled. "No need to worry, my lovely audience!" She shut the door again, and upon opening it once more, Dante in his wolf form flew out, doing a nice flourish before he landed and did a small howl. The crowd cheered and applauded and Dante and the Ringmaster both did a little bow. "Lets hear it for our amazing volunteer, Dante!" They all screeched in excitement. Kiiro's eyes thinned. "Is the show.. over? Dante's fine?" She sighed. "Wow.."

*Soflora glared, "no idea but i'm going to him. Not him to me." She started walking to the area of the ring, where donte was, "Donte?!" She called as her and kirro made there way to him quickly. It there was a barrior soflora would have kirro make it so they could go through it, the show was over, she could go get her prince now, or would there be more to this. Thats what she wanted to know as she would near donte, "Donte..."

Dante shifted back into his human form and smiled to Soflora as she approached him. "Oh hey Soflora, that was so fun! I wish you guys could have done it too." Kiiro soon made it over to them both as well and she grabbed Dante's arm. "Are you all right mister Dante?" Dante smiled to Kiiro. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Kiiro shrugged and took her hand away. "Oh.. I suppose it was nothing then..." Dante frowned and all the lights turned back on as people started to file out of the tent. "You guys done being grumpy now? Besides, it's the end of the show now and everyone's leaving. I suppose we should go back too now." Kiiro nodded. "Yes... I'd like to go back." She smiled suddenly. "But this has been really fun.. with you guys." The Ringmaster strided over to them all and slung her arm around Dante's shoulders. "You were really great kid! Jeez I could use a couple'o performers like you." She smiled to them all. "Safe journey home now. I hope you all enjoyed the show!" She then did a twirl and walked back over to Rat. "Seems we did good."

*Soflora looked to kirro. If she couldn't feel a diffrence then things were fine. No one had control of him or anything. That was sign of relief. Soflora took his hand and chukkled, "i dont call people throwing knives at me fun." She giggled and poked his arm, "you are just weird." She however was still having a bad vibe. She looked to kirro, "i'm sorry it's not too effective, but it's better then being alone right." She giggled, "you can hang around with us whenever you have time or feel lonly." she offered. Fact was though, she decided if this is what fairs are like, she dosn't like fairs. She wanted to get as far away from this place as possable. And she would be keeping a carful eye on donte too. Just in case.*

As they all made their way out of the tent Kiiro looked a little embarrassed, chewing her thumb. "Are you sure that's all right? I don't want to be a bother.." Dante scoffed. "No, Sofloras right. You're my teammate too so I can't let you be miserable by yourself." Kiiro blinked a few times. "You know its not horrible being by myself doing nothing. I like to think." Dante made a face. "Sounds boring." Kiiro giggled. "That's because you always have to keep yourself occupied with something mister Dante." He pulled another face. "Really?.. I mean yeah.. That sounds right I guess.." He looked to the floor as they all headed back to the gates. Dante didn't even flinch when they moved past the leftover food. Kiiro sighed. "Is it dark out? Onee-Chan might be back at the castle by now.." Dante nodded. "Yeah its just got dark. Will your sister be angry at you?" Kiiro shrugged. "I dunno. Its a challenge in itself to keep ourselves occupied through the nights." As they moved through the gates Dante stopped for a second, looked back, then carried on. "Now that really does sound boring."
((Yes I do have more planned for when they're back at the castle ouo))

((I knew it!))
Soflora nodded, "i figured you wo would find somthing to do at night. Then again i used to be nocternal too... untill i started... you know... sleeping with donte." She blushed alittle, "i be lilly already has a whole table fo food set up for you." And surly enough whne they were back lilly did have food prepared on the table for him. "I was worryed about you! I was wondering how late you were goign to stay out." She shook a spoon at him, "I almost thought about coming to get you." Soflora giggled as she let go of his hand so he could go eat, "dont worry kirro and i was with him. We just went to the fair." She nodded happily.

As Dante stared at the food, intimidated, Evelyn swept into the room and brought Kiiro into her arms. "You were gone for longer than I expected." Kiiro giggled. "It was fine Onee-Chan. I was with mister Dante and miss Soflora and had a good time." Evelyn smiled to her. "Then I'm glad. But you know I don't want to have to issue a curfew. I was getting worried." Kiiro frowned. "You can't speak, Onee-Chan. You disappear all the time and I worry." Evelyn smiled and stroked her head. "I'm sorry. I'll tell you where I'm going next time." She glanced to Soflora. "Thanks, I hate seeing her cooped up in here all the time." Her eyes thinned at Dante. "What's up with him.." Kiiro latched herself to Evelyns side. "What about him?" Evelyn scowled. "He's not eating." It was very odd. Dante just stood there, frozen like a movie on pause. "Dante?" Evelyn poked him and his body fell into a pile of sand. Even Kiiro got alarmed by that. "Dante just disappeared!" Evelyn brushed her hand on her jacket. "Dante was never there." Kiiro made a face. "But that doesn't make sense! I touched him to make sure!" Evelyn scratched her neck and stared at the pile of sand on the floor. "What was the name of.. That fair...?"

*Soflora was already headed tot he door angerly, "MIDNIGHT FAIR!" She about went through the door as she quickly went for fair. Surly it was that last trick all right, she trusted kirros abilty though, she was wrong. And now donte, the prince of yokai was kidnapped. And soflora had no one to blame but herself as she pulled her tomihawk out of her coat, she didn't care if they suddenly picked up and moved, she would get her donte back! Meanwhile lilly was now startalled too, "holly s**t!" she looked to evelyn, "i could locate him... surly they would have already moved him or somthing right?"

Evelyn sighed as she rubbed her face. "Ah, the Midnight Circus." Kiiro tugged her arm. "You know them?" Evelyn rubbed her eyes. "That fair has been around since my time. They're infamous kidnappers." She waved her hand in front of them. "They target their child that has no guardians accompanying them, choses them for their circus show, makes them show all that they have so their... 'copyers' shall I put it, manage to get their personality and possible other forms. Then for the final event they switch the kid with their copy. Kiiro you wouldn't have picked it up because they're the masters at the doppelganger arts. They copy the vessel down to the T. They never get caught because everyone sees that the child walks away from the Fair unharmed. When actually its just a copy." Evelyn smiled down to Kiiro. "It wasn't a fault of your abilities. You felt everything just right." Kiiro frowned. "We have to help him." Evelyn smiled. "Meh. I'm not in the mood."
Cresseda patted the large box that now had heavy chains all around it. They all sat in a moving van. "We might have to use more persuasion on this one." Rat laughed. "He's a prince, of course he will." Cresseda smiled and rubbed her fingers together in front of him. "And a great investment, this one will fetch a few pretty pennies!" They both laughed to each other. "Let me out!" Dante shouted. "Let me out or I'll eat all your faces!" Cresseda giggled. "Pipe it down kid. No ones comin' for ya."

*Soflora was running as fast as she could to the fair's area to see if she could find donte, however shew as really panicking now. Meanwhile Lilly shook her head, "i cannot seem to teliport to him, he's going to have to summon me in order for me to pinpoint his location. I should tell keria, or veria, they can probably locate him easyily." She replied now also worrying.
Meanwhild there was suddenly somthing that would have hit the van's tires, making them deflade and either slow, or if at the right angle flip the van compleatly.*
(XD god and to think they lilly wants to get the others involved. meanwhile there already is 0w0 rescue time)
