Chapter 1: Escape
"Where is that guy?" Rei muttered nervously, kicking around the bushes where her charge usually hid. "Kanda, if you don't come out I will confiscate Mugen. Until you marry."
"I'm up here, baka." Prince Kanda Yuu sneered down from his perch on a tree branch.
"Are you trying to get over the wall again?" Rei snapped, "Tiedoll would kill me if you go out."
"I don't care, crossdresser." he replied with superiority. There was a loud crack as his bodyguard's reason snapped and she punched the tree trunk, shaking the plant hard enough for Kanda to lose his balance and fall in the bushes.
"What the fuck?"
"If you don't care whether your bodyguard lives or dies, then I don't give a damn whether you fall a couple of feet. And I bet you would never get over that wall. Actually… why do you want to go out so badly?", was her curious response. Kanda lifted an elegantly arched eyebrow and stepped out of the shrubs, brushing the dirt off. Rei found herself looking down Mugen's blade the moment he was out of the bushes.
"That was at least 15 fucking feet." The prince snarled, starting a sequence of attacks which Rei dodged. "And I have no reason to tell you of all people that. Crossdresser."
Kanda Yuu, Crown Prince of the country of Innocence, long cobalt hair and eyes, 24 years old and an excellent swordsman. Has lived in palace for as long as he can remember. Stubborn and hates being treated like a child, which he is far from.
Her reason snapped once again at the insult. "En garde!" was the reply, as she drew her own weapons and the two started sparring. The gardens were immediately evacuated of all sane palace servants and the refugees hid inside the palace, looking down at the ferocious everyday occurring battle between Kanda, and his equally stubborn bodyguard Rei.
Ryuukei Hitoride, Kanda's bodyguard, short black hair and eyes, 22 years old and cross-dresses as a male to use "male rights" in an age where men and women are not on equal footing. All around her knows and doesn't truly care, except make fun of her every now and then.
"They're so lively, aren't they Marie?" King Tiedoll asked his adopted son Noise Marie. The large blind man gave a smile and nodded, his ears easily picking up the sound of the vicious fight. "But I worry about how many times Yuu-kun has tried to scale the walls. It's dangerous. Oh, they're finally finished."
"OWOWOWOWOW YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING PULL MY FUCKING ARM OFF. LET GO!" was Kanda's roars as he struggled in vain to get out of the arm lock his bodyguard currently had him in. Said person smirked evilly and freed her charge, picking up Mugen a few feet away where she had miraculously managed to disarm Kanda.
"21 to 20! My win." She said triumphantly, sheathing her Kamas and Mugen. "So now you have to explain why in the world you want to escape so badly." Kanda sneered at her, grabbing Mugen and fixing his hair tie.
"Yes, yes, Yuu-kun. I'd like to know as well." Tiedoll said, startling the two. "Aren't you happy here?"
"Well, why do I have to be stuck in the damn palace the whole day?" the teen scowled. "It's fucking boring."
"For your safety, Yuu-kun!" the High King exclaimed, earning hard stares from the duo. "What?"
"HE? HE needs SAFETY?" Rei yelped, jabbing a finger in Kanda's direction. "You've got to be kidding me!"
"For once I agree. I don't even need a bodyguard! I'm a light sleeper and I've bested the greatest assassins and martial artists in the world!" Kanda added indignantly.
"But the world outside the walls…is dangerous!" Tiedoll replied. Rei facepalmed and dragged a protesting Kanda away.
"You can never argue with an overprotective father." She snarled. "And you just want to go over the walls because you're BORED?"
"No, baka. It's because I'm tired of being fucking doted on and I have no freaking knowledge of life outside." Kanda retorted grumpily. "I hate not knowing."
If he hadn't been being dragged at the moment, Kanda probably would've shivered at the uncharacteristically devious smirk that Rei's mouth formed.
"!" was the laugh that echoed later throughout the entire palace, making all the birds and wildlife in vicinity flee for their sanity. "Kanda…you shall regret your wish. Thanks, Arthur Kirkland for giving me this idea."
A few miles away a British man sneezed while shaking his American little brother at a World Summit. She continued, "You'll become dependent on someone, so hopelessly dependent you'll MARRY THEM!"
How in the world did that girl pass the bodyguard test? Daisya, one of the palace servants, thought in alarm.
Allen Walker sneezed. "Lavi, you better not be perving me out again!" the white-haired servant girl yelled upstairs to Lavi, son of General Cross Marian, and one of her bosses. Said redhead poked his head out of his room.
"Not me! It was probably Kaen." He cheekily called down, earning a kick on the head from his brother Kaen.
"I already have a girlfriend, idiot!" the teen yelled. In the palace, Ryuukei sneezed.
"Whatever, get down here for breakfast or I'll eat it all!" came Allen's threat from the dining room. The twins' eyes widened as they made a mad dash downstairs where the head maid was inhaling her breakfast.
"NO! Allen!" they wailed, seeing the table cleared of victuals. She smiled vindictively at them, pointing to two plates of food at the end of the table. They gave a sigh of relief and started eating, pausing every now and then to give Allen wary glances.
Allen Walker, 21 years old and head servant of the household of General Cross Marian. When she was young, her foster father, a friend of the General, died and Cross took her in as his adopted daughter. To pay off her debt to him for taking her in and to escape the duties of being the daughter of a high-ranked official, she acts as the head maid, much to his chagrin.
Kaen and Lavi Bookman-Marian, 23-year old twins that are very different.
Lavi is an infamous flirt that often attends soirees, while Kaen is currently engaged and likes to ditch parties. Lavi and Allen have never met Kaen's girlfriend, and Lavi often hits on Allen when Cross isn't around to utilize his mallet. Both get along…rather well, although Kaen often explodes and plays a game called "Hunt the Red Rabbit" with Lavi, which usually results in several of Lavi's belongings exploding.
Back in the palace, Kanda was once again in his training room, where he regularly practiced his swordsmanship, and regularly battled rivals.
He'd been thinking about how unimaginably dull his life was, considering that he was a prince. Kanda had no idea why so many people had the idea that royalty got the best life, were given everything they wanted, and got to do whatever they pleased. I mean, here he was, sitting in his usual corner (that Rei called Kanda's Emo Corner), with Mugen on his lap, with his eyes closed as he meditated. How boring could that get? Granted, it WAS Kanda's own fault that he was sitting there and stoning, but there was honestly nothing much better to do. The palace, as big as it was, and as many activities it had, was so… constricted, and he felt no other place in the palace that he could really feel true to himself.
All the prince wanted was freedom. To live a perfectly normal and unenclosed life. Was that too much to ask for?
…yes, considering his status.
After looking into every room, and trying every single activity, he only departed with a minimal understanding of skills such as sewing, and a frustrated self. What was in the castle that could occupy him for the rest of his life? There was absolutely nothing in the castle. The only content that was there was in the outside.
The outside, where his dream of a life awaited.
And meanwhile, because Rei stood outside the door and would know if he tried to sneak out, Kanda mumbled a curse and continued to stare, wishing for that one day, where he could be free.
Allen wasn't feeling much better. So here she was, scrubbing dishes and scouring pans, while desperately trying to conserve the depleting amount of soap because if it ran out as she was washing the things, she'd have to go to the convenience store to buy soap, which was about seven miles away, and she looked disgusting and completely non-presentable. She'd get in absolute trouble if Master came back and found half-done dishes in the sink, and meanwhile Kaen and Lavi were in the living room watching a TV show that she loved, and knew that they were just watching it to torment her.
What a wonderful life she had.
Hey, she knew she'd had been a maid for even worse people, people who made her pay for groceries and necessities with her own earned money, but she wasn't loving this job either.
It was like she was working in hell. Allen hated it, hated working for ignorant people. Even though Lavi and Kaen did occasionally attempt to help with whatever she was doing, they failed miserably, and she'd have to clean up the mess. Oh, and Master would coincidentally come home in the middle of a tornado, and punish Allen somehow, as he did always.
She was always in that enclosed jungle, hardly stepping out of the house, but only to get things to cook and such. Always, she wished that she'd finally earn enough money to get out and do something she'd loved, or maybe find that special someone, but for now she was stuck in this hellhole.
All the maid wanted was freedom. To live a perfectly normal and unenclosed life. Was that too much to ask for?
…yes, considering her status.
It wasn't even Allen's fault that she was forced to work as a maid. It wasn't her fault that her parents had died when she was only a toddler. It wasn't her fault that she had to go out and search for a job that could earn her some money to survive, without selling away her body.
Seriously, although she might have seemed chirpy and hospitable on the outside, on the inside she was grumbling and screaming profanities and crying.
Meanwhile, because Lavi and Kaen were in the living room and would know if she tried to sneak out, Allen mumbled a curse and continued to scrub, wishing for that one day, where she could be free.
"Half an hour outside for a four month bonus?" Ryuukei considered, looking at the sky as if in deep contemplation. "No. Five month bonus."
"mumblegrumbleargh whatever fine." Kanda exasperatedly threw his hands up in the air. "Hurry up and tell me if you're going to help me!"
Rei smirked. "Risk my life for a five month bonus? Doesn't sound so good, does it?"
"…"
She laughed. "I'll help, but remember the bonus, and remember it's just half an hour, and remember that right now I'm the one in control because you're the one needing my help. Okay?"
"mumblegrumbleokay."
"Great! I have this genius plan to get you out of the palace…"
Half an hour later, Kanda reluctantly emerged from his dressing room, into his bedroom, and death glared right into Rei's eyes.
"So THIS is your genius plan?" he shouted at his bodyguard, half mortified, half furious.
Kanda was wearing a maid Lolita dress.
Extremely annoyed, he growled at Rei, who was guffawing and rolling around on his bed. "Why the HELL is this dress SO DAMN FRILLY? How are maids suppose to WORK in this thing?" Kanda gripped his skirt, wincing at the evident mou-and-cuteness, and tried to pull the freakishly-short skirt down. How could he have thought it was kinda sexy to have the maids wear dresses with such short skirts? He was regretting that thought – Karma had come back to kick him in the ass.
"Lavi-san, Kaen-san. Why is the maid dress you gave me so short this time?" Allen grimaced, dressed in her new uniform that Lavi and Kaen had designed because her old uniform had gotten a little torn.
The former mentioned wolf-whistled, while the latter brother stood there with a smirk pasted right on his face.
"It's the latest fashion, isn't it? Don't you want to make an good impression?"
Allen dryly replied "To whom?"
"Whoever you might meet! Your future lover, maybe? Besides, you're going out to buy soap because we've run out. And you might find that one guy! I know you've been fantasizing about a knight in shining armor coming to rescue you, haven't you?"
"What? Huh?"
"You sleep talk."
"PERV! I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE A PERVERT! STALKER!"
"Okay," Rei'd helped Kanda arrange his dress a little neater, and did up his hair a little and added some make-up. "My artwork is complete."
"I LOOK LIKE A GIRL!"
"Oh, it was nothing," the bodyguard said as she examined her artwork, "All I did was to bring out the true woman in you."
"DIE."
Eventually, they did get out to the guardhouse, and because Kanda looked so feminine and pretty and Rei was a genius at hair and make-up, they managed to escape the palace without interrogation. The security guard DID wonder for a while why that new maid was fumbling with her heels, but he decided to leave it because he thought that she was kinda sexy.
After that was over, they managed to hitch a car that probably belonged to one of the visiting ministers, and drove down the long, windy lane towards town. And after about ten minutes, they reached the destination that Kanda had been dreaming of for all his years of consciousness.
"This is it," Rei smiled, one hand on the steering wheel, and one hand hovering above the car horn, just in case anyone decided to annoy her. "Welcome to the outside world!"
It was all Kanda could do to nod, as he looked in wonder at the people strolling leisurely on the sidewalks and note the pleasant noises and smells in the air. It was amazing.
"BEEEEEEEEEP!"
The prince-maid glared at his/her bodyguard, wondering why she had to break his moment of reverie in something as inferior as a horn.
"That guy just cut across like that!" the questioned protested, stepping (hard) on the accelerator and making Kanda cough at the amount of smoke. What was with Rei and her impatience? Seriously? Well, Kanda WAS impatient too – what with only half an hour outside, after all, but there was no use getting out there if they couldn't enjoy!
"So this," Rei motioned with towards the right, "is the village. Where everyone lives a happy and peaceful life. And if you want to get to town, you have to drive about seven miles down, where the convenience store and everything is, if you want to buy something as simple as soap, so people tend to want to stock up and everything because most of the people here don't have cars."
"Why don't we have a car?" Allen grumbled as she was shoved out of the house with a five dollar bill in hand.
Kaen sighed as he leaned against the doorway, having heard this complaint about a million times.
"Everyone around here survives without a car, so stop complaining and maybe you can take the bicycle down to town. I'll lend you mine, if you want."
"Really? Thanks, Kaen!"
So Allen brought out the bicycle from the backyard, tested the brakes (the last time she'd borrowed Lavi's the brakes didn't work and she ended up getting this huge scar) and headed out to the main road, where she got on and started pedaling, but not too fast, because if not her panties would show and… yeah.
"OI! HURRY UP!" there was this weird guy-girl (she couldn't tell the gender) shouting at her to hurry up, and she turned around and yelled "I'LL CYCLE HOWEVER FAST I WANT TO!"
For a moment, she noticed a maid in a really pretty dress, a little like hers, in the same car as that bastard/bitch, but Allen turned her head back in front to focus and not get her temper ahead of her lest she start screaming profanities.
Kanda was wondering why the maid that Rei was scolding was so loud, when she turned around and looked at him, and then the only thought that came up in his head was "She's really pretty" and then she sped away, thanks to Rei's complaints. He was about to scold his bodyguard, but then realized that Rei would tease him to no end about his first attraction/crush. So he kept it to himself, and as they cruised towards town, he remained silent. Anyway, if he spoke, probably the passers-by would wonder why he sounded so masculine.
They reached town sooner than he'd expected, and it opened up a whole new world to the spectator in the red sports car.
There were buildings everywhere. All sorts of buildings. Brown ones, green ones, pink ones, yellow ones. And they all had different heights and designs. Some were all royal and Victorian, some had gone for a more modern theme with tons of glass, some had settled for a cottage-like store, and some were simple rectangular-shaped buildings without a roof.
Rei broke the silence. "Look, we hardly have anymore time; you said half an hour outside and it's already been twenty minutes, so I suggest we just drive around a little and head back." Again, all Kanda could do was nod.
It was even busier here. Throngs of people along the streets. A lot more cars on the road. Little kids standing by stores, inviting people to step inside and look at their parents' wonderful pastries or flowers or something of the like. Men clad in business suits. Teenagers holding a bunch of shopping bags, laughing as they skipped along to the nest victim of their shopping spree. Buskers. There was so much outside, and Kanda had barely enough time to take it all in before Rei turned into the highway as they headed back to the palace.
When they were at the palace, Rei stealthily got the both of them into the palace without crashing into Tiedoll or Marie. Corner after corner, every maze they passed, and through a few doors. They made it to the prince's room.
Though, it was a close one when they passed a kitchen and a young servant boy pinched Kanda's ass. He nearly yelled but, Rei decided to cover his mouth before his voice gave himself away.
"Damn it crossdresser! Why didn't you let me kick that guys ass?"
"I don't know about you, but does having you reprimanded, letting your father see you like this, then explain to him why you're dressed like this sound lovely? Or even better yet, explaining where you've been?" Rei dragged the him..
"Che, whatever."
"Don't forget about my bonus!~"
"Does it sound like I have a choice right now?"
"No, but I'd like to remind you!" ,she replied.
Kanda went to his room, and shoved the bodyguard out the room. He grabbed a rag from the bathroom and started scrubbing the make-up off his face. He tore off the maid outfit, shoes, and socks, changing into his every day attire.
As he was staring into the mirror, he fixed his hair that was a bit ruffled. Currently, he was stilling thinking of how many ways to impale or shred the servant from earlier with Mugen. Whether to shove his sword through the throat, or through the heart for a faster death. Brushing off the thoughts, he got out of the bathroom.
Walking onto the balcony, he stared at that wall that he despised more than anything in the world. Was it really keeping him safe, blocking out the so called "horrible" world, or imprisoning him in this confined space?
His mind was reliving his time outside the walls, especially wandering off to that girl who wore a maid's outfit like his and rode on a bike. Who was she, what was her name, and who did she work for? That was his true task at hand right now. Kanda went to the door and opened it to face Rei.
"What is it?"
"I want to leave the palace again."
"Again? I just took you out today, that was the deal." Rei folded her arms over her chest.
"I want you to take me out of the palace for a full day. I'll give you whatever bonus you want, just as long as you can think of a full proof diversion for my family, and keep them from wondering where I've gone." Kanda said with a serious face.
"Why are you so desperate to get out? You have everything anyone out of these walls would want! You're father would kill me just for letting you out for half an hour today! Are you insane? If I do this, there's no guarantee we won't get caught." She pointed out.
"I'm desperate because someday I'll be ruling this country, and how can I if I never see it?"
"You'll need to get married before you can rule." She pointed out the flaw.
"One step at a time. Are you saying you won't help me?"
"No, I'll try and see what I can do, but who knows how long this planning can take." she sighed. "You seriously will owe me huge for this."
Kanda only grunted back in response. He didn't care at the moment, all he knows is that his first steps of freedom (though probably not the best few) were what he desired again. He needed to be out of those walls, to know about the world his father has protected him from.
What's so dangerous about it? He thought, There's a threat everywhere you look, even here, so what makes the outside world much different?
"Finally!" Allen said as she put the bike into the rack nearby. She grabbed out a bike chain, wrapping it around the frame so there was no possible way someone could steal it. After securing that, she walked into the store.
Should I just buy one tin of soap or stock up? I think I'll buy four, it doesn't spend that much money and it should last us a good while, unless those redheads decide to cook again. The young woman shivered at the image.
After grabbing all of the supplies that she saw fit that they needed, Allen went up to the cashier and purchased the items. She was thankful she brought along a basket to hook onto the bike. After dumping the contents into the container, she took off pedaling seven miles.
"Damn it! Why does the store have to be so far?" She continued pedaling, ignoring the obscenities towards her, and making sure didn't flash anyone on the way over.
Allen (amazingly) came back home without crashing into something or running into traffic. It was more surprising that she didn't even get lost and get stuck in the alley, again. She put the bike into the backyard and grabbed the basket, walking through the door.
"Hey Allen! Did you get the chips that I like?" Kaen dragged his brother out into the kitchen. "This idiot ate my entire stash." Kaen had Lavi in a head lock and ruffled his hair.
"It's not my fault I found them! You didn't write your name on it either!" Lavi pouted.
"Yeah, I did, here." She tossed the bag at the two. Kaen dropped Lavi for the bag.
"What did you get me?" Lavi was eying her legs that were showed off because of the skirt.
"Perverts don't get any sweets."
"I told you I'm not a pervert! Kaen is!"
"I have a girlfriend you idiot!" Kaen yelled. "Everyone in the village knows you as the town flirt or the idiot."
"Why are you both so mean to me-" Lavi was cut off as Allen chucked a candy bar at his face. Lavi smiled and hugged her.
"I love you Allen! See, I knew you got me something!"
She got out of his grip, put everything in its rightful cupboard and went to her room to find a longer skirt. When she finally did, she started sowing the torn skirt that caused her to wear a shorter one than usual.
Allen kept telling herself that it could be worse, and that she's better off than some people out there. She could be on the street selling her body for money, but she's not. Instead she's a maid who has a decent life and not (as badly) sexually harassed by a perverted boss.
"Ugh.." she mumbled. "I better start on dinner soon, I think lasagna sounds good with bread sticks, maybe mitarashi dango for dessert."
When she had prepared the dishes after measuring out all of the proper ingredients, she cooked them. "Allen, is dinner ready yet?" Kaen walked into the kitchen, getting a whiff of the meal.
"Almost, maybe five to ten minutes more." She answered. Allen grabbed oven mitts, slipped them on, taking out their meal. It took all of her strength to not eat it there and then with the cheese still slightly bubbling, steam coming out of it, and the wonderful smell of freshly-made noodles.
She cut the lasagna, using a spatula to transport pieces onto a plate, the cheese stringing across. The white haired girl put bread on all the plates, making sure everything was near perfect.
"Lavi! Kaen! Dinner!" The twins raced each other, shoving one another through the door.
"Wow! It looks great Allen!" Lavi stuck the bread in his mouth.
"Yeah, you really have outdone yourself! I also smell mitarashi dango, if I'm not mistaken." Kaen sat down, eating.
"I had all the ingredients, and it's been awhile." Allen rubbed behind her head awkwardly.
"That's great! Allen, you're so good at cooking! Come on and eat." Lavi pulled out a seat for her.
Everyone ate, no complaints, and surprisingly, no leftovers. Lavi and Kaen ate most of the lasagna, the bread disappeared in a matter of minutes.
"So how was your day?" Kaen said as Allen came back with the mitarashi dango.
"The usual, avoid getting hit by cars, some shemale yelled at me earlier, biking fourteen miles." Allen said.
"Really? Can you ever have a safe trip to the store?" Kaen bit into the dango.
"No, remember that time she ran into those debt collectors?" Lavi laughed.
"Okay, that wasn't the best trip, but it's not my fault they couldn't take a couple of hits!" she said in her defense.
"What about when you were caught in that soup can avalanche?" Kaen smirked.
"Okay, what about you two, how was your day?" She raised her eyebrow.
"I beat Kaen at arm wrestling!" Lavi announced triumphantly.
"Only because you bit my hand you cheater. I probably need a rabies shot now!" He showed his hand which was now a small red mark.
"You're exaggerating, you know I have all of my shots."
"I don't want to take any chances. You're an idiotic rabbit, after all."
"If everyone's done now, I'd like to clean the kitchen." Allen said while she grabbed all of the plates, pans, and utensils.
"Sure thing, I'll be in my room reading." Kaen got up.
"I'll be lifting weights if you need me!" Lavi hopped off.
The maid put the plug in the sink, poured some soap, and turned the faucet. She cleaned the pots and pans, then placed the plates/utensils into the dishwasher. Didn't take long, then she had to clean the table and take the trash out.
Allen went to her room and plopped onto the bed there. She stared at her pruning hands and sighed. She felt the stress of running out of soap and being yelled at by that shemale, the physical toll of biking a total of 14 miles more or less, at this point she thought she could hibernate.
Changing into a nightgown, she snuggled under her comforter, shutting off the lights, knowing that this routine would start all over again the next day. However, before she could fall asleep to a peaceful night, someone opened the door, and light fell on her. "Allen?" Kaen asked. Said white-haired maid shot up and gave him the meanest glare she could muster.
"What?" she complained sleepily. "What now?"
"You said that a…"shemale" yelled at you earlier?" Kaen questioned.
"Yeah. Couldn't tell if it was a guy or a girl." she replied back tiredly.
"What did they look like?" At this, Allen almost gagged on her saliva.
"Are you…"
"No. It's just I haven't seen my girlfriend ever since she got her new job. And, well…she looks like a guy, so…" he answered shortly. Allen raised an eyebrow. Blackmail-worthy material! YES!
Hiding her plotting decision, she responded, "Black hair tied in a really short ponytail, black eyes, and the meanest yell ever." Mentally she was laughing. Kaen took a quick breath and started downstairs, pausing to hear the rest. "There was pretty girl with her, too. Wore same dress as me. Wish I could've talked to her." With that Allen fell back onto her bed, snoring.
~Omake~
*Flashback-before sneaking out*
"Rei, if you don't wear makeup, how come you are able to put this dusty stuff on me?" Kanda asked, curious. It was right before Rei took him out of the castle walls for the first time, and Kanda seriously was bored while his bodyguard applied makeup to his face. Furthermore, the only reason he was letting that crossdresser do this to him was because she had assured him that he wouldn't be recognized. And she was being considerate enough not to apply too much. Rei stopped brushing and sat back, looking Kanda in the eye. A chill suddenly descended as her serial-killer smile suddenly appeared.
"Do you know what my previous job was?" she asked sadistically. Eyes widening fractionally at the demented chuckles coming from his bodyguard, Kanda hurriedly shook his head. Ignoring it, Rei continued, and her insane smile widened, "I was a mercenary. Do you realize how easy it is to give a target lead poisoning by just adding arsenic to their makeup? It helps to be able to apply it to the areas which she will be affected the fastest."
Silence pervaded the room. Rei sat up and finished applying the makeup to Kanda, giving him a fancy hair tie that the palace maids used for their hair. In horror, Kanda stared at the makeup bag with disbelief.
"You killed people with makeup?" he whispered in disbelief. Note to self: make sure to ask Rei whether she's using the poisoned makeup or not if she ever applies makeup to anyone again.
