Lita sighed in utter boredom. She had been in Quatre's mansion for over a week. She had no one to talk to.
Duo was always hitting on her Quatre was always talking with Trowa or in a meeting. Herro was always busy, Wufei was always training and Trowa never spoke.
She had nothing to do but sit around get fat and out of shape.
She got up and walked out of her room.
She took out her knife and started tossing it into the air and catching it.
She looked up to see one of the house maids exit Herro's room in fright.
Slowly a smile crossed her face. The maid looked up at her then at the knife.
Lita held up her hands to ease the maid. She put the knife away as the maid walked by her. Lita pulled out her gun and cocked it.
The maid stopped as Lita pressed the gun to her back. "Do as I say and I guarantee you'll live."
The maid nodded and Lita forced the maid to her room.
Lita locked the door and said, "Sit down on the bed and strip your clothes."
The lady's eyes widen in horror.
Lita held up her hands and said, "no not like that. I just need to borrow your clothes for a while."
The maid nodded and slipped off the black and white uniform.
Lita then said as she walked towards the maid, "this is only to make sure I'm not figured out to soon."
She gagged the maid and tied her arms and legs.
After that Lita took out her cream and started to create her new mask. She molded the cream right and then walked over to her trunk.
She grabbed a brown wig and took the scissors. She cut it shorter and then put it on.
After that she slipped on the uniform noticing it was a tight fit for her. She had to stuff the chest area though.
After that she grabbed a white case that read green.
She took out the contacts and put them in to cover her eyes. She looked at the maid and was delighted she had been able to get it right.
Lita dug into her trunk and pulled out a small devise and walked towards the maid.
She removed the gag and said while hitting the small button, "Speak."
The maid asked nervously, "What are you..."
She was cut off when she was gagged again then was locked into the walk in closet.
Lita placed the device on her left cheek and walked to the door. She opened it and walked out into the hall.
She nearly ran into Quatre and Trowa. "Oh sorry Linnet. Are you ok?"
Lita nodded her head and said, "I'm fine master Quatre. Would you mind master Quatre that I took the day off I feel a bit ill."
Quatre nodded and said, "oh course I don't mind. Come back when you feel ok."
She nodded gratefully but noticed Trowa was eyeing her.
She excused herself and nearly ran down the hall.
Lita easily made it out of the mansion safely and was walking to the cab Quatre had called for her.
She opened the door and was climbing in when she heard the click of the safety go off on a gun.
She looked over and saw Trowa who sat calmly looking at her with his gun pointed at her.
She gulped and asked, "Mr. Barton what...what's the meaning..."
"Cut the act Lita."
"I don't know what your..."
He pressed the gun harder to her back and she got out of the cab with him right behind her.
"Lita I recognize that necklace anywhere."
Lita cursed violently then muttered, "Well I just wanted to get out of the mansion. It's not like I was going on a mission."
He led her back to the mansion. In the dining room were all the pilots waiting, with the maid Linnet wrapped in a blanket.
They were all glaring at her. She sulked towards them and stated, "It's not like I'm going to kill someone."
Quatre bursted out angrily, "you held my maid at gun point. Demanded her to strip down to her undergarments. You steal her dress, tie and gag her. Then lock her up in the closet when she is claustrophobic."
Lita blanched before shouting back, "How was I too know she has a fear of close places huh? I'm sick and tiered being trapped in this damn house with you whack heads that are driving me crazy!"
Lita stalked away angrily while pealing off the mask and wig.
Lita went outside and sat down in the grass. She pulled her knees to her chest and stared up at the sky that was slowly starting to darken.
She heard someone walk up behind her then sit down. She glanced over to see her brother.
She sighed and whispered, "I'm sorry Trowa...but I don't want to be here. I was made to be out in the world traveling and showing off my talent."
Trowa watched her silently as she gazed at the sky. Then she laid down stretching her limbs out.
Trowa asked, "What are you really like Lita?"
She looked at him and a smile crept onto her face.
She answered, "I'm actually a lot like you Trowa. I'm a quiet person always have been. But the more I act the less I become myself, and the more I become the characters a act out."
Trowa nodded and said, "we have mission tomorrow Lita. That's what Quatre and myself were coming to talk to you about. Early morning we will go over it with everyone. Get some rest it's a long mission."
Lita nodded and sat up. She kissed Trowa on the cheek before getting up to her feet and going inside.
Trowa watched her go and whispered, "I'll protect you Lita from harm even the harms from yourself."
Lita walked into the kitchen and headed straight to the fridge. She opened it up and searched through the leftovers.
She grabbed one of the bowls and stuck it into the microwave and put it on for 2 minutes.
"Hey babe. How would you like to go to the movies with me tonight?"
Lita shook her head and said, "Duo leave me alone before I take my knife and test its sharpness with your braid."
"Oh come on Lita one date please."
Lita glared at him and took out her gun and aimed it at him.
"Prepare to die Maxwell."
She then fired the gun.
Duo barely dodged. "Sheesh I was just joking. Can't you take a joke?"
She aimed the gun at him again. But this time instead of pointing it at his head she aimed it to his manhood.
Duo eeped and ran out of the kitchen. Lita put her gun away as the microwave beeped.
She took out her dinner and sat down at the table and ate.
After eating she put her dish in the sink.
She yawned tiredly and made her way up the stairs to the second story.
She sat down on the railing straddling it while thinking to herself.
Duo crept up behind Lita and looked down below. He grinned when he saw his target.
He raised his hands and gave Lita a push. Lita shrieked in surprise.
The person below looked up in time to be knocked down by a body launched out at him. He hit the ground roughly.
He opened his eyes to see Lita who was covering her eyes with her hands.
"What the hell onna. Get off me."
Lita slid down the railing and hit something, which went down with her. She laid on the object silently with her eyes covered with her hands.
"What the hell onna. Get off me."
Slowly she peeked out behind her hands to see she had landed on Wufei. He was glaring at her.
Lita stared down at him. A few seconds flew by and suddenly his eyes softened as he gazed into her eyes.
Lita let her hands rest on his chest. Wufei whispered, "Marion?"
Lita's eyes widen in horror and she climbed off him quickly.
She replied, "No I think you're thinking of someone else Wufei."
He slowly got up to his feet and looked her over again.
He shook his head absently before turning and walking away. Lita sighed as she watched him go.
"That was close."
She shook her head and turned to the stairs.
She glared at Duo and yelled, "Prepare to lose your braid Maxwell."
She then raced up the stairs.
Duo took off down the hall with Lita not too far behind him.
Lita rolled over in bed and mumbled a few coherent words under her breath. Trowa stared down at her as she rolled over onto her side.
The blankets were twisted around her body in a knot. Lita clawed at her pillow and muttered, "Die Maxwell."
Trowa covered his mouth with the back of his hand trying to contain his laughter.
Lita then rolled over onto her back and Trowa's eyes widen in surprise. He swiftly spun away from her as a blush crept onto his cheeks.
He shut his eyes and took in a deep breath.
He heard her giggle and chanced a glance over his shoulder. He gasped and reverted his eyes once more.
He cleared his throat and spoke as calmly as he could muster, "Lita. It's time to get up."
Lita's eyes snapped open and she stared at the back of Trowa.
She yawned lightly and sat up. She untangled her body from the blankets and climbed out of the bed.
"What's wrong bro?"
Trowa replied, "..."
Lita sighed and walked towards her dresser.
"So bro tell me about the mission."
Trowa replied, "I will give you the details with the guys."
Lita turned to him and stuck her tongue out at his back. Trowa glanced at her and his blush darkened.
"Lita could you at least put some clothes on."
Lita looked down at herself and chuckled.
"Oh Trowa stop being so naïve. I'm your sister for the love of god."
Trowa sighed in aggravation. Lita giggled and slipped on her leather pants and then a baggy white shirt over it.
She grabbed her brush and ran it through her hair.
"You can turn around Bashful."
Trowa did and glared silently at her. Lita set the brush down and pulled her hair up into a quick ponytail.
She turned to face him and said, "all right lets go."
Trowa shook his head absently and said, "lets grab your trunk we are going to need it."
Lita beamed happily and skipped over to it. Trowa followed and helped her lift it.
The four guys waited impatiently except for Quatre inside of a traveling vehicle.
Trowa and Lita came outside caring the large trunk to the open trunk of the car and stuffed it inside then shut it.
Trowa walked to the open door to the passenger seat and sat down.
Lita climbed into the back seat with Herro and Wufei on both side of her.
Duo sat in the middle front seat with Quatre and Trowa on both sides of him.
He turned the radio on and said, "all right let hit the road jack and never come back.... no more...no more..."
Lita smacked him on the head and said, "Shut up."
Wufei crossed his arms over his chest and smirked. Herro stared out the window silently.
Quatre started up the car and pulled out onto the road.
Lita spoke up, "so what's our mission?"
Herro glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
Trowa answered, "We are going to the Cinq Kingdom. We are supposed to attend school there. We're too keep our eyes open for any attacks to the kingdom..."
His words slowly murmured together and he soon fell silent.
Lita sat forward and asked, "so what's my job and why do I need my trunk...wait who do I get to be now..."
Everyone kept silent, but Lita just waited.
Finally Herro spoke up, "You are to become Ralena Peacecraft for the whole time we are there while she leaves to a safer location."
There was a long eerie pause of silence between everyone. Finally Lita yelled angrily, "I have to WHAT?"
Lita wanted to scream. Do anything as her anger build up more each mile they drove closer to their destination.
She asked, "I have to be Ralena Peacecraft...what is this punishment for trying to escape?"
Wufei scowled and stated, "Stop complaining onna."
She glared at him and stated haughtily, "I'm not complaining you sexist pig! I asked a question!"
He glared at her and was about to make a comment, but Quatre stopped them.
"Would you two stop fighting?"
Lita hmphed and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked out towards Herro's window not giving anyone a glance.
The rest of the trip was in silence except for the music playing and Duo's snoring.
Finally Quatre pulled into the Kingdom. He slowed down to a reasonable speed and drove to the large mansion in the Cinq Kingdom.
He parked the car in front of the stairs that would take them to the front door.
He turned the car off and everyone climbed out.
Lita sat in her seat and angrily and stared at the back of the passenger seat.
The guys waited for a minute or two till finally Quatre poked his head inside and asked, "Are you coming Lita?"
Lita frowned and said, "No. I'm not going in there. I don't believe in Ralena...Preacecraft's ways on how to attain peace. So there is no way I am going to be her so I'm not leaving this car."
Quatre sighed and moved out of the way.
"Oh come on babe it wont be that bad."
Lita suddenly yelled, "Maxwell you call me babe one more time I'll shoot you between the eyes."
Wufei stated, "get out onna. We don't have all day."
Lita yelled back, "You're not my boss jerk."
A few seconds went by before Wufei reached in and grabbed Lita around the chest and jerked her out of the car.
Lita stumbled against Wufei and her back rammed into his chest.
She looked down and screamed. "Get your hands off me you pervert."
Wufei let her go and took a step back.
Herro glared at the two before saying, "let's go."
He turned and walked towards the stairs, with the others right behind him.
Duo was always hitting on her Quatre was always talking with Trowa or in a meeting. Herro was always busy, Wufei was always training and Trowa never spoke.
