Chapter 1
"Um… Welcome to the staff." The young maid led her down the hallway. "Let's see if we can find a uniform for you."
"Thank you."
The young maid led the taller girl to a hallway closet. "I don't know if we have anything in your size… ah here we are."
The maid handed the other girl a blue and white dress.
"I can show you to you to the maids quarters, so you can change out of those dirty traveling clothes."
The two girls headed towards another room. This one had bunk beds and a small nightstand next to each for storing personal items.
"I'll give you some privacy for now, by the way. What did you say your name was?"
"I didn't. It's Sakuya Izayoi."
After Sakuya had changed, the other maid asked. "So where are you from?"
"I do not know."
"How can you not know?" The other girl asked, confused.
"I can't recall anything of my past. It's total amnesia I guess..."
The girls expression clearly advertised the fact that she now regretted attempting to make small talk. Now she was unwillingly captured in the bonds of obligation to sympathy for this silver haired girl.
"If you will forgive me being rather blunt." Sakuya said. "It doesn't matter, and it shouldn't be any of your concern."
The girl gave a "hmmph!" and walked away. It appeared she had made an enemy already.
"Well I suppose I'd best get to work now..." Sakuya said with a sigh.
So the first chapter! Rather short compared to the others and not much in plot exposition. But the best is yet to come!
On a side note, my MS Word recommended that I change the word "maid" to "house cleaner". Great... now even MS Word is obsessed with political correctness...
