*At Malian Manor*
Lita Kino scrubbed the floor of the million dollar mansion's Dining Hall. She wiped her brow quickly as the sweat began to glisten on her forehead. She listened out for any footstep, and when she found none, she stood up and stretched. She hadn't done so in so long. She put her hands behind her head and glared at the wall she faced. She was a servant here at Malian Manor. None of the servants were her friends, since she was pretty much the 'outcast'. All of them hated her...for some reason or another. Her owners despised her more...except for one. She was her very best friend, and she would often try to make escape plans with her. She wanted to get away as much as Lita did. She was extremely smart, as Lita was strong. Her name was Amy Mizuno. Of course she wasn't a Malian, but she was adopted into the family because both her parents had died when she was very young. She had been living here ever since*. She had no friends and no siblings at all. Well, Lita was her best and only friend. Amy Mizuno was the one responsible for the reason she had a ponytail instead of her usual loose hair. They first met when...
*Flashback* (Flashback! nenenenenene* Flashback!)
A 5 year old Lita Kino stood in the darkness of the kitchen, trying to reach the cookie on top of the counter. It was very well near midnight, and she was not fed her dinner due to...incompetence. Whatever that meant*. All she had done was accidently knock over the soapy water she was going to use to mop the floor onto the carpet. She had gotten a severe beating for that one. It would be a surprise to anyone to see the young girl stand much less try to get cookies. She winced as she felt a cut she had gotten from the beating stretch and took her hand to grab it. She gasped as the pain became a little worse and then disappeared again til she stretched it again. She sighed and began reaching it again, when her long bangs got in her eyes. She growled quietly in frustration as she moved the bangs aside to the back of her ear and began reaching for it again. She heard a noise, and she paled. She turned to the sound quickly, shaking quite much. She got into a fighting stance her father had taught her before he died. Both her parents had died a year before, in a fire at her house.
Lita stood deafly still in the fighting stance, waiting for whatever it was to come. She knew the mistress and the master were sleeping, and she thought her main maiden, the one who watched over her and gave her the severe beatings was asleep. It was rumored that the mistress and master had three children living with them that weren't servants, but Lita had never saw them around the manor. And that's saying something, because she had seen ALL of the castle, willingly or not.
So here she was, standing there, waiting in pure anxiety as she heard the padding of feet near her. At first, the dreaded thought of her maiden catching her entered her head, but thought different as she reminded herself that the padding was just a little too light. Then the thought of it being a fellow servant, and mind you they were all a bit tad older than her making her the youngest, had seen her trying to get the cookies, that wasn't as bad. She could always kick their butts right here and now. Though she was the youngest, she sure was the strongest. She knew all types of martial arts, and she proved she could hold her own by knocking out one of the young servants that wanted to get 'fresh'* with her.
'IS he still in that medic place for his nose...?' she wondered out of the blue, but then got her mind back to reality. The padding stopped, and there before Lita's eyes, was a blue-haired child, about a year younger than her. Her hair was put into a ponytail. She had matching beautiful blue eyes, and she was a little pale. She had on a small nightgown with no socks. Lita tilted her head in utter confusion. She definitely wasn't one of the servants, she was too young, too dressy, and well, Lita hadn't ever seen her before.
"Who are you?" both asked simultaneously, staring at each other. Lita gave a small smile and Lita chuckled a bit, before Lita cried out "Jinx! Knock on wood!" and raced to the counter and knocked on it. The girl looked very confused.
"Huh? What does that mean?" the quiet girl asked sweetly. Lita sighed
as if that was the dumbest question in the world.
"You weren't supposed to talk! But this time I'm not going to pinch ya, don't worry. You didn't know." Lita smiled at the girl, who in turn smiled back. "My name is Lita. I'm a servant here. I've been here since I was....uh.." she counted on her fingers "three! I'm 5 now. Who are you?"
"Well, my name is Amy Mizuno. My parents are Izzy* Mizuno and Kari* Mizuno. But both of them are dead." Amy's eyes went downcast for a moment, feeling saddened at the death of her parents. She looked back up, and a small smile graced her face. "My aunt and uncle took me in through the kindness of their hearts, though they are a bit angry for some reason or another at me, but I know no reason. I've been here ever since I was one, but I've never had met any other children, not even my cousins. The only thing I could do was read, since my tutor taught me how to read. I'm 4 now. It's a pleasure to meet you Lita."
Lita looked at the girl saddened by her story. "Well, my parents died too, but they died last year. Your parents took me out of the orphanage and well...here I am! Please excuse me, but your aunt and uncle are really mean!" Amy sighed and didn't look too surprised.
"Yes, don't apologize, it's true. My aunt and uncle have forbade me from speaking to their children, and I haven't ever seen any other children in my stay here."
"Well, trust me, your not the only one. I'm the youngest here, but really nobody likes me at all. I know karate and all types of stuff! I don't know how to read though," Lita flushed, embarrassed by it, "but, well, uh, I know a lot of things other people don't know about! Like I know how to cook and I know numbers and how to count to 500!"
Amy smile at this girl, Lita. She was very accepting, outgoing, and very nice. She really wanted to be this girl's friend, and it seemed that she wanted to be her friend to. "So what were you doing down here Lita?"
Lita gave Amy a bright smile as she moved a piece of her hair to the back of her ear again. "Well, uh...can you keep a secret?" At Amy's nod, and when she really felt she could trust the girl, she continued. "Well, I was kind of trying to reach the cookie jar up there, because my maiden and your aunt and uncle said I couldn't eat because I made a heck of a mess in the uh, whatever room," at this Amy giggled, "and then I got a beating for it and-"
"Oh my! Are you alright then? Did they hurt you too bad?!" Lita looked at this girl in pure shock. She had just met her, and she was worried?
"No I think I'm alright, just, well a little cut-"
"Let me go get a bandage first and-"
"NO! It's ok, we can do that later. First, let's get those yummy chocolate chip cookies!" Lita began reaching for them again, when her hair went into her eyes again! "OOOHHHH! Stupid hair!"
"Here." Lita heard Amy's soft voice behind her and she whipped around to see a green scrunchy* in her hand. Lita raised her confused green eyes to Amy's sincere blue ones. "Take it, I don't need it. You don't have to give me anything. I just want a friend."
*End Flashback*
And friends they became. Almost sisters. They would sneak out of their daily routines to gossip and Amy eventually taught Lita how to read. Now she's one of the best cooks in the whole manor. Heck, she was *the* best. Lita taught Amy how to do kicks and how to cook. Amy decided it was best that she didn't learn. She told Lita as the grew that she wanted to be a doctor, and Lita shared her dream of someday becoming the world's best chef. They both shared ideas of once getting out of this place they were stuck in, that they would start their own hospital and Lita would be the cook, and Amy the medic. Lita smiled as she started to scrub the floor again. They had laughed together, and cried together when either of them got beaten. This brought up another memory...
*Flashback*
A 10 year old Lita stood in the cold kitchen, waiting at the table. She was waiting for her best friend Amy, who she grown close with over the years. Lita had grown taller, while little Amy barely grew at all. Amy was a bit taller than the counter while Lita had grew up to the top 'their' cookie jar. It was well past midnight, and Lita heard the familiar padding of feet running down the hall. Lita looked at the kitchen clock. 12:05, right on time, as usual for nice, intelligent Amy.
"Hey Ames!"
"Hello Lita." Lita rolled her eyes as Amy approached her.
"Always with the polite pleasantries eh Ames?" Amy blushed, but stood her ground.
"Of course."
"And I wouldn't change it for the world my friend." Lita smiled as Amy smiled. "So how about those cookies?" At Amy's nod, Lita took the cookie jar and opened it, taking out 4 cookies. They both sat down at the table and Lita gave Amy 2 while she began eating hers. Just when she was going to tell Amy about Johnny, one of he servants, cutting his hair and him becoming one of the dreamiest hunks in the world, they both heard an 'ahem' and they both looked at Amy's aunt, who was standing there, leaning on the door post of the kitchen.
Both Amy and Lita paled greatly, and each dropped the cookie she was eating. The aunt just stared at them, smirking quite devilishly. She then pushed herself off the door post and began swaying her way over to them. Lita hopped off her chair, as did Amy. Lita pushed Amy behind her. There was no way she would let this woman-whoever the hell she was- or anybody else hurt her best friend...or better yet sister.
"Well, well, well, if isn't the little thieves that have been stealing my cookies..." the woman smirked, luring over the two like a predator. Lita was shaking slightly, but that was nothing compared to Amy. She was pure white and was shaking horribly. "So do any of you have anything to say?"
Lita glared at the older woman. She was pushed to the side as Amy stepped forward surprising Lita and herself. She stepped up and said "It was my fault aunt Mida. Lita didn't do anything wrong. I told her to do it."
Lita's jaw dropped a few meters. Why was she doing this?! The aunt looked between the two and unsuspectingly smacked Amy across the face *very* hard. Amy cried out in total pain. Amy's face was knocked the side, and her eyes filled with tears as Lita filled with great anger. Just as she was about to go up to the lady and kick her butt she caught Amy's eye and it plainly stated in the glare she got 'don't do a thing or you'll ruin everything'. Lita stood in her place, but she glared darkly at the aunt. The aunt smirked and put the cookie jar and put it back on the counter. She turned to Amy, about to hit her again, when another *angry* voice interrupted her.
"Amy is just taking up for me...it's my fault. I told her to tell me where the cookies were. Slap me so *you* can be satisfied," Lita said harshly and then quietly added "you witch."
The woman flushed and almost fainted. How dare this...this slave girl say that to her?! She raised her hand to strike Lita, and when she did, she did it again, and again. Lita stood there not saying a word, not even crying. She kept her eyes forward so she did not see all the tears in her friends face.
She left afterwards dragging Lita by the ear. Lita looked to Amy and saw the sisterly love there. She smiled slightly and mouthed to her "Same time same place tomorrow night right?" Amy mouthed back "Of course."
*End of Flashback*
And they did so every night. That night, their friendship grew mre than words, thicker than blood. They were more than best friends now, the were blood sisters. Lita wiped her brow again. She was now 17, and Amy was 16, and they were still best friends. She heard the taps of shoes going through the hallway...toward her hallway...and she silently wondered who it was. 'Oh well, probably the mistress,' she thought as she rested on her knees scrubbing the floor.
"Lita?" Lita's head shot as she saw Amy approach her, two bags in her hands. There was a coat on one shoulder, and she had on one. She rushed to her long time friend and pulled her up. "Lita! Let's go! Now!"
"W-what the hell?! Amy?! What's gotten into you?"
"We're going to get out of here Lita! We're finally going to be freed into the open world!" Lita rolled her eyes. Amy so intelligent, so dramatic...
"I think you've been rubbing off of me kiddo...I'm the one that's irrational remember?" Amy smiled but then put a serious face on.
"Lita, trust me ok? Come on let's go!"
"But don't I need clothes and-"
"Already taken care of." Lita blinked at her friend and smiled.
"But what about your aunt and-"
"Don't worry. They went out. It's time for us to get out of here while we still can. Coming?" Lita had tears in her eyes. They were finally gonna be free. They can finally reach their dream and become doctors and cooks and..."Well Lita?"
"Of course! Let's go!"
"Alright, follow my lead!" And both dashed down the hall, Amy in the lead and Lita following. Lita was slightly surprised Amy could run so fast, but thinking about it, this was an important matter. Amy stopped, and Lita skidded to a stop. They were in front of a window. Amy opened it and put one leg in, putting the other one out. Lita gasped in shock.
"Girl, have you lost it?! This is the second floor!"
"I know! Trust me! I have calculated the distance and it's not that far!"
"OK, but I'm trusting you. But if we die, I swear my ghost is gonna kick your butt!" Amy smiled and nodded, and Lita hung onto the ledge too.
"When I count to three we let go ok?" At Lita's nod she counted. "1.2.3!" And both landed with a thud. They both got up slowly, being their first time outdoors.
"That was easier than we thought," Lita said, but as she was about to say something else, she found herself being dragged to the crowded area which she knew to be the market place. She had went there many times when she was younger. "What?!"
"It is vital we move very fast, they're bound to know we are gone the minute they get back." And so off went Lita Kino and Amy Mizuno, out of Malian Manor for good, or not?

"That was easier than we thought," Lita said, but as she was about to say something else, she found herself being dragged to the crowded area which she knew to be the market place. She had went there many times when she was younger. "What?!"
"It is vital we move very fast, they're bound to know we are gone the minute they get back." And so off went Lita Kino and Amy Mizuno, out of Malian Manor for good, or not?
