Cooro, the black-haired boy
"What is that?!" A woman from the crowd shouted as people were screaming.
"A bird, a bird!" A little boy shouted excitingly.
"G-get him! Don't let him escape!!" Mr. Ring Master ordered, pointing to the flying boy.
Two of Mr. Ring Master's big guards men went after the boy.
"Wah!!" The boy frightfully exclaimed as he flew away from them.
"Oh no আপনি don't...!!" The guards man ব্যক্ত as they chased him to the far wall. The boy grabbed onto the tent দেওয়াল as they neared and accidentally pulled it too roughly--causing the big circus tent to collapse!
"Whoooa! Oh no! Help!" Everyone screamed.
The boy climbed out from under the collapsed tent.
"Whew!" he breathed as he smiled. "That was so cool! The whole thing fell down!"
Suddenly someone stood over the boy who was dripping wet. He looked up and saw that it was a boy with short, silver hair and holding a stick above his head. But his face was very similar to the Mermaid Princess...
"Huh...? That face..." The boy spoke, realizing who it is. "Hey! You're that--"
And then the silver-haired boy hit him on the head with the stick and he was knocked unconscious with a big lump on his head.
"Husky! Good work!" Mr. Ring Master appraised as he and his big guards men rushed over.
Husky just looked down at the unconscious boy in thought.
*Later that night inside one of the circus wagons...
The black-haired boy slept soundly on the bed.
Hmm... black wings, eh? Mr. Ring Master thought, sitting on a wooden মল beside the বিছানা that the boy was sleeping on. If only they were white, we could call him an angel...
"Boss..." Husky came through the door wearing black sweat pants and a white, normal work-out tank-top.
"Husky? What's wrong?"
"Is he... a +Anima, too?"
"Most likely." Mr. Ring Master showed him the boy's red +Anima markings that were on his neck.
"Maybe I could use him in the show, too. We've got quite the catch here."
Husky pointed to the mermaid poster taped to the door.
"You've already made a killing off of the 'Mermaid Princess'! Isn't that enough?!" Husky argued.
Mr. Ring Master got up and put his hand on Husky's shoulder and he wore a smile.
"Listen... Everyone wants to see things that are rare and beautiful. Thanks to you, the circus' profits have sky-rocketed! So believe me, I'm grateful!"
"Really? Then what's with these cheap pearls?! I thought I was supposed to be a princess!" Husky threw the pearl নেকলেস at him.
"I... I'll get something better...!" Mr. Ring Master ব্যক্ত while thinking, Darn kid's tastes are too refined!
"And it's only fair... that I get money." Husky told him.
"WHAT?!" Mr. Ring Master choked out. "Now see here, Husky! I bought you! So don't get carried away!"
Husky held his ground, still defiant.
"It's illegal to buy and sell people in this country." Husky walked away while saying, "What do আপনি think I am? Your slave? Hmph! If আপনি won't pay, then I'll just leave..."
"What brought that on all of a sudden?!" The black-haired boy had turned over so his back was to them without them noticing. "It's because of him, isn't it?!" Mr. Ring Master shouted, pointing to the boy. "You're planning to leave with him because you're both +Anima, aren't you?! Is that why আপনি caught him?!"
Husky turned swiftly around. "That's not why I--"
"No matter!" Mr. Ring Master then held up a locket that was attached to a chain around his neck. "Either way, আপনি can't just leave... Can you, Husky?" he coaxed as Husky eyed the locket with a longing expression.
Here's what the black-haired boy's (Cooro) and Husky's +Anima markings look like! ^_^
