Circus[BOOK ONE]

Leaving The Circus[CONCLUSION]

Here Sora stood in front of the circus months later, hand in hand with Nikias. Sora watched the spirits of little girls leave the circus with smiles on their faces. Now they're at peace. Soon, Yumi stepped out a small smile plastered on her face. Yumi looked up at Sora and Nikias.

"Thank you." Yumi whispered before disappearing with the other girls. Sora sighed looking at the empty circus.

"I'm ready." Sora whispered, closing his eyes. Nikias let go of Sora's hand, all Sora felt was intense heat in front of him.

"Back away." Nikias told him. Sora took a few steps back his eyes still closed. "You can open them now."

Sora opened his eyes to see his childhood, his sadness, his fear, burn in flames with the abandoned circus. Sora held Nikias close as he watched the place burn. Sora smiled knowing that Yumi is in a better place, his smiled got wider as he now know that the tormenting is over. The evil games are now over and now he has someone he truly loves. Sora looked down at Nikas, seeing her eyes are brimming with tears as she looked at the flames.

"Now she can rest in peace..." Nikias whispered. Sora brought her closer in response. Sora learned that Nikias had a little sister there long ago, they too used to visit the circus. Sora took a hold of Nikias' chin gently lifting her face so they're eye to eye. Nikias sniffled looking into his eyes. "S-Sora I'm--"

Sora cut her off with a kiss, his other arm around her waist pulling her close. Nikias eyes widened in the kiss noticing the sudden action. Then Nikias slowly closed her eyes, her lips moving in sync with his.

'Soft...' Nikias thought noting how his lips are. Sora stroked her hair, bringing her closer. Nikias' and Sora's lips moved in sync as they started swaying, the flames of the circus illuminating them making their shadows become one. Sora pulled back looking at Nikias. Nikias slowly opened her eyes noticing that his lips are gone. Sora smiled a soft smile.

"Hi." Sora said faintly. Nikias blushed looking into Sora's electric yellow eyes, remembering how his first transformation became as him. Sora licked one of his fangs holding Nikias' hands in his.

"H-Hey..." Nikias said quietly blushing even harder. This was their first kiss and Nikias felt sparks, she knew she was in love and she felt happy. Sora smiled bringing her hands to his lips, kissing them.

"I have someone for you to meet." he whispered. Nikias nodded looking into his eyes, watching the flames die down.

"Who is it?" Nikias asked quietly. Sora swayed their hands.

"You'll see." he said smiling. Sora got one last look of the circus, holding Nikias' hand tight. Sora put Nikias on his back and began running. Nikias squealed hugging Sora's neck as he ran, feeling the wind through her hair. She smiled wide. Minutes of running and laughter of joy later, they were at their destination. Sora stood in front of a house. The house is huge-ish and the grass is done well, there are tons of nice houses in the neighborhood.

"Where are we?" Nikias asked. Sora put Nikias down, his hand slowly roaming her body as he sat her down. Nikias shivered biting her lip.

"A place." Sora said holding her hand. Nikias nodded slightly getting nervous. Sora squeezed her hand gently to tell her it's okay. With that gentle squeeze and his eyes on her, Nikias calmed down. Sora took a deep breath and stepped in already unlocking the door with his powers. "Mom, I'm home!!"

"Sora?! You're here! You've been gone for months! Not calling me or anyone! I've been worried sick." an obviously stressed out voice said. Nikias started to get nervous. Sora smiled looking down at Nikias.

"Mom, I have someone for you to meet."
