AN: I've done drama, angst, friendship and romantic comedy...I'm curious about writing something along the lines of dark drama/romance. But knowing me, it probably won't be quite as dark as the word means.
This is sort of canon, but with my own spin on certain events. I may not cover everything that occurred-so it is AU in that way. This will be drabble chapters that are connected, like Shifts in the Days.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kaleido Star or it's characters.

The tall figure of the God of Death crossed his arms as he observed her perform on the Kids' Stage.
She held hands with the blonde young girl and together, they jumped on the trampoline. Her big, infectious smile invaded the young girl. His eyes briefly looked away from her to see that the smiling phenomenon infected the crowd as well.
He looked back as the audience cheered as they jumped around on the trampolines like a pair of fools.
This is what she defied him for?
Preposterous.
He made up his mind to go, to leave and join May in the practice room but he found his feet firmly planted on the ground. His eyes also stayed on the stage as the sun shone on her tanned skin and made her red hair look like it was aflame.
Wild, untamed fire...
His hands clenched and his eyes narrowed. The first time he had these thoughts about her, he figured it was a fluke, some strange fascination that would disappear with time.
She was...an oddity, for certain. The like which he had not come across before. Challenge after challenge, she has lost and show after show she has proved nothing to him.
And yet...
There was something about her that made him look again. Some force or energy that was entirely her own.
He knew not how long he stayed before May found him, nor did he care, quite honestly. She stood next to him, asking him why he was here.
He gave no answer; he owed her none.
The Chinese acrobat huffed at his silence, but followed his unending gaze over to the stage. The show ended with loud cheers.
He watched her give a playful little curtsy with the young girl and then she waved very energetically with one hand as the other held her partner's. The upper part of her body moved as she waved to all sides.
When she came to the area he was standing, her hand and smile faltered.
He took a little enjoyment in making her react.
Undeterred, her smile returned as if nothing had occurred. She waved again, moving her attention away from him.
The dismissal both irritated and amused him.
Having stayed for far too long already, he whirled around, his long silver mane following the motion. His hands slipped into his pants' pockets as he walked back to the real stage, faintly registering May calling his name and then her hurried footsteps.
