#telekami

(This was a request from @sunflower-frog involving her two Shadow Boi’s who I love very much and I just had to do it!)

Telekami startled as he felt his cables getting pulled off from around Shadow Kanji’s wrist. With an angered hiss the Shadow pulled himself out of his TV set only to blink when he came face to face with a very familiar grin.

“Sorry partner, stealing you.” Cirquedu chuckled adjusting his top hat, Telekami blinked and settled back down inside, his cables looping around Cirquedu’s arms to help him carry his set.

“ ‘Kay, could have warned me. I hate getting suddenly disconnected. You know that.” Cirquedu adjusted his hold on the other Shadow to pet his cables to soothe the static laced growl behind the other’s words.

“I promise you’ll like this surprise.” Telekami perked up, a surprise? From his partner? His cables tightened around Cirquedu eager to find out just what his partner had in store. Cirquedu chuckled fondly at the clingy shadow carrying him to a small brightly coloured and lit tent he’d set up. Inside was a small stage props all ready waiting to go and a half dozen seats in the audience giving the whole thing a close intimate feeling. “I’m going to put on a show for you partner.” Cirquesu grinned setting Telekami’s tv set down gently on the centermost seat where the other Shadow would get the best view. 

Telekami rose up out of his TV and settled back against the seat purring at the soft comfortable material, once sure Telekami was settled down and his Tv was in no danger of falling off the seat Yosuke let go of him and tried to pull away.

Tried.

The TV Shadows Cables where still wrapped around his arms, Circuedu rolled his eyes fondly “Partner.”

“No.” Telekami’s cables tightened. 

“Partner I can’t put on a show like this, I need my arms.”

“I’ll come up and do it with you.” Cirquedu chuckled a little.

“Kinda defeats the point of me putting the show on for you doesn’t it? Besides I have a plan for that.” Telekami tilted his head looking like a confused kitten “Look, how about this.” Telekami’s eyes widened as Cirquedu in a movement to fast for him to follow pulled a bouquet of flowers out of nowhere and presented them to him “White magnolias for you, yellow carnations for me.” Telekami delicately took the flowers from Cirquedu in one of his cables. “Just for the show you hold onto those, and after you can cling on to me all you want.”

Telekami looked between the flowers and Cirquedu before hugging them to his chest leaning back against the seat “Alright.” He considered though there was a small pout on the shadows face as his cables loosened letting Yosuke free. 

With a single powerful hop Cirquedu was on the stage and with a feral grin bowed to his audience of one. “I AM CIRQUEDU, THE SHADOW FORMERLY KNOWN AS JIRAIYA! PLEASE ENJOY THE SHOW!” Music started to play as with a flick of his wrist Cirquedu produced one of the Kunai his other self was so fond of, he carelessly tossed it into the air letting it twist and spin before catching and repeating. He flicked the blade with one hand letting it settle into a rhythm before he did the same with the other hand producing the Kunai’s twin from thin air and flicking it into the air.

The Kunai dipped in and out of rhythm with each other, though Cirquedu kept up with careless ease. Then he changed the game, at the same time a third and fourth Kunai appeared in his hands and Cirquedu shifted from simply flicking and catching the knives to juggling them. 

The Kunai glinted in the stage lights transfixing Telekami as he watched them constantly spin and twist between one of Cirquedu’s hands to the other, the edges threatening to slice the other Shadow but never managing to catch him unawares. The music suddenly cut out as Cirquedu tossed all four kunai into the air letting them spin, just as they started to fall he opened his mouth long frog tongue flicking out and catching them all perfectly by the handle.

Telekami applauded as Cirquedu bowed to him, His cables made to start to pull him off the seat before Cirquedu tisked at him “Pretty poor show if I only do one trick partner.”

“Two.” Telekami’s cables held up the flowers.

“Just settle down ok? The shows just starting.” Telekami pouted settling back in his seat.

From there Cirquedu flittered quickly from magic trick to magic trick, following the kunai juggling with some a little less impressive card tricks, until Cirquedu started flicking the cards into the air letting them burst into flames producing birds that flew around the stage. Telekami watched eagerly as Cirquedu took his hat off the birds diving down into it, once all the birds had vanished the Shadow reached in and pulled out a rather annoyed looking Beast. 

Cirquedu’s eyes widened and he hurriedly shoves it back in before giving Telekami a smile and putting the hat back on. “You know what let’s get to the finale shall we?” He laughed trying not to let on the Beast hadn’t been part of the act. “For my final trick, I need a volunteer from the audience.”

Telekami blinked startled pointing at himself, Cirquedu chuckling offering a hand “Yes partner that means you.” Telekami smiled grabbing onto Cirquedu’s hand with his own and using his cables to help get his TV set on the stage.

“What do I do?” Cirquedu grinned pulling him over to a large box on the stage.

“I’m going to get in, your going to close the door, spin the box once and open it again.” Telekami blinked watching as Cirquedu opened up the box.

“That’s it?”

“Trust me you’ll be impressed.” Cirquedu flashed him a cocky grin “You up for it Partner?” Telekami nodded watching as he stepped in, he carefully shut the door and followed his instructions spinning the box on it’s pedestal once before opening the box revealing-

Nothing.

Telekami’s eyes widened in alarm cables reaching in and checking every inch.

Nothing.

Cirquedu was gone.

Telekami let out a low whine of panic trying to think of what could have happened to the other Shadow when he felt a tapping on his shoulder spinning around a snarl on his face for who ever was distracting him from finding-

“Good trick huh partner?” Cirquedu grinned Telekami staring at him blank faced. Cirquedu’s smile faltered worried by the others look and silence “Partner? Telekami? Are you alr-” Cirquedu yelped as clawed arms and aggressive cables wrapped around him pulling him into a chokingly tight hug Telekami’s chest reverberating with static laced hisses and growls.

“Don’t DO that to me!” Telekami hissed Cirquedu wincing as the embrace tightened “I thought I lost you, that I’d never get to hold you again…”

“...Alright on reflection maaaaybe a vanishing act wasn’t the best magic trick I could have used…” Cirquedu tried to pull away only for Telekami to snarl and tighten his grip “...And I’m going nowhere.”

Prologue:

The world was made as if pure fairytales lived in it and why not? They had saved it and their own home as well. The bonds shall hold strong till the end of time. But there was something almost out of place. In a very tucked away corner laid a lone TV. It is a TV who is quite lonely and maybe a bit mad about the fact he was alone.

See here’s the thing, as HE never faced himself the TV is now forced to sit alone. If HE had faced himself then the TV would be able to join his fellow shadows in their part of this world.

This world...This lovely and wonderful world... This lovely and wonderful world that they made together...

‘Bbbzzz!’ From the TV burst forth a human-like shape. But the colors were wrong and wires coated in dark liquid lashed out all around the form.

“We made it together but now...” The grey form spoke. The anger slipped out in his next semi-breath. ‘But now you have all left me…’ the shadow almost seemed to curl in on himself. For all he is able to do is sit here and submerge himself in his own rambles and ravings. His fellow shadows were ether hidden away or in the clan’s area. The Clan thAt HE- ‘clis’ a clawed hand dug its self in to his chest to put a stop to the train of thought.

As he was saying, he can’t go to his kind. The world is not as it once was; in this new world he can’t summon his mortal self. Plus, this TV is hard to carry, and thus he is alone. With it seeing as his thoughts are not helping he slips back within his TV nest and tries to dream of his clan. But mostly he dreams of his Partner.
