Amaya released a small smile of contentment as she glanced upwards, enjoying one of her night walks she had once again managed to obtain. Releasing a small sigh, she entered a local park, dew already brushing against her boots as she slowly savoured the moment.

It was very rare then, to manage to escape the Safe House, where she, along with Kaguya and Tohdoh, mostly lived, apart from when they were needed else Tohdoh knew what she was doing, there was a good chance he would throw a fit.

He didn't understand how mch sometimes, Amaya needed to get away. She could only take so much training, battles, meetings, lessons, see her people suffer and know she could do nothing, before she knew that if she stayed one more moment in that House, she would scream.

And so, once a month, after Tohdoh did his nightly routine of knocking on her door at 11, asking if she was alright, Amaya relying, yes, she was fine, before Tohdoh bid her goodnight, headingto his room just down the hall.

Sometimes after, in the middle of the night, Kaguya, would sneak into her room. Sometimes because she was in a chatty mood...And sometimes because she didn't want to be alone...Missing her parents as much as Amaya did... Amaya knew that particular routine well.

She would be fast asleep, before her senses rang, the door slowly opening. A small line of light from the hall would enter the room, followed b the pitter patter of Kaguya's feet entering the room, Amaya snapping up as her eyes met Kaguya's.

Sometimes her eyes were wide, unable to sleep, wanting to talk, like a normal teenager...

Others, Kaguya's eyes held tears.

It was those nights, that Amaya would soundlessly lift her blankets, and Kaguya would snuggle in next to her, whispering her fears, what she missed most about her home, her family...

It was normally after one of those, she 'escaped'. And so, After Tohdoh's routine, she would grab her coat, and carefully, expertly, slipping past his door, she would head down the stairs, out the door, and into the night.

Amaya released a strangled breath as she took a moment to pause, closing her eyes a moment as she tried to release the constant amount of pressure...She thought how lucky Kaguya was...She had Amaya to relay her feeling to...

But who did Amaya have...?

Amaya stopped in her tracks as she heard a rustling up the path. Quickly darting behind a tree, she checked to see if anyone had seen her. She glanced around again, seeing she was nearly in the very centre of the park, where a statue of Clovis stood, his arrogant smile piercing, even through the night.

"...Be careful, Kallen!" she heard a frantic whisper, Amaya's eyes whizzing to the right, as she saw who the rustling sound would be.

"Ohgi, I am being careful!" she saw a girl hiss, as she suddenly sprang from the bushes, in the centre of the park, darting behind the statue. Amaya only saw a head of bright red, as she slowly, stealthily, moved forward, while she saw a man with dark hair, and another with rusty red, follow.

"Come on, let's do this!" the rusty haired one urged, reaching into something in his pocket. Amaya raised an eyebrow as she saw a spray can, amusement dancing in her eyes as the girl,

Kallen, she reminded herself, jumped up beside the statue.

"Well, hurry up then, Tamaki!" she whispered back, as she took out her own spray can. Amaya only stared in shock, amusement and...Jealousy, as she took in the three writing on the statue. The statue, once so glorious, now was a complete wreck.

Clovis's face had been ruined. His face was now red, as was his hands, to symbolize the blood on Britannia's hands, Amaya would guess. All over him were vearious taunts, promises of what would happen, and what exactly he should do with his 'Area 11'.

Amaya grinned openly as the girl, Kallen, wrote one final thing just under the statue, over the nameplate.

JAPAN IS NOT BRITANNIA!

BRITANNIA GO HOME!

'Could not have said it any better myself.' Amaya noted with a smile, as she saw the girl's sky blue eyes glance sideways, making sure no one was around, before turning back to finish her work. However, Amaya felt her senses freeze as she heard voices, from close by...

Britannian voices...The nightly watchers of the park...

Swiftly, Amaya sprinted nearer to the group, her eyes following the origin of where the voices originated, as she saw the girl take a moment to stare at their work. Amaya released a low whistle, grasping the girls attention.

Her eyes widened, as Amaya placed one hand on her lip, signalling silence, before motioning her to come to her. The girl looked around, tension rising as she silently grasped her groups attention, pointing at her.

"Who the hell-" Tamaki began, silenced by Kallen before she moved towards her, into the tree's cover.

"Who-" she whispered, fear lacing her voice before Amaya began,whispering back,

"The police are coming, you have to hide." Kallen's eyes widened as Amaya voicelessly pointed towards the voices, her mouth opening before Amaya continued,

"I know a way out, but you have to trust me." her eyes narrowed in suspiscion before Amaya did something she had not done since her childhood. Holding out her hand she whispered,

"I'm Amaya." For a moment, they stared at eachother, Amaya's hand outstreached.

"Kallen." she finally whispered back, grasping her hand. Amaya gave a small smile, Kallen returning in slightly before Amaya pointed to her left, the guards getting closer.

Kallen gazed in wonder and slight confusement, as the girl now named 'Amaya', darted swiftly between the trees. Kallen followed at a brisk pace, Ohgi and Tamaki not far behind, as the guards clearly saw their work of art. The faint yells of,

'Damn Eleven Monkeys!' and 'God damn them!' fell onto her ears as she found a smirk surface. The girl turned slightly, her eyes almost luminous in the dark as she gave a nod, Kallen returning it as she none the less followed.

A strange girl, Kallen thought. She appeared Britannian...Yet, Kallen suspected some asian ancestry. Could she possibly be a half? Like her? Questions about the girl bubbled as the girl bent, guards at the gates having gotten the call about possible hooligans in the park. Kallen cursed as the girl turned.

"You ready?" the girl asked, Kallen's eyebrows knitting in confusion as the girl grew a smile.

"For what?" she dared ask, just in time as the girl darted forth, towards the gate. The guards released a yell, as her fist met one's stomach, Kallen immediatly following her, as Amaya expertly, swiftly kiked the man in the chin, sending him 5 feet back, unconscious, as Kallen aimed a punch at the other's face, which landed with a crunch as his node broke, a yell echoing through the park, as Amaya slammed one fist into his neck, the man falling instantly, also unconscious.

Kallen stared in wonder at the girl, as Ohgi and Tamaki weakly came up to them, Tamaki croaking,

"That was..." As Ohgi stuttered,

"H-How did you-" However, they were cut off as they heard the sound of more guards approaching, Amaya quickly deciding,

"I know a safe place-Run!" and with that the girl broke out into a sprint, Kallen immediately following, her trust in the girl who just secured their escape completly formed. Kallen moved quickly, eventually managing to run alongside her as she dived bewteen alleyways, making sure to stick to the shadows as Kallen gasped,

"You-Have experiance in this- then?" the girl released a small chuckle as she spun around the corner, pausing a second before determining the coast was clear.

"You could say- that." she managed to answer as she ran, Kallen grinning as she continued,

"You have- a resistance group?" Amaya glanced at her again before answering,

"Still- looking for one." Kallen grinned, unable to describe the girl. It was as though the two understood each other, without having to say anything, as they continued to snake their way through the city, casually chatting as they did so.

Eventually, after half an hour, Amaya paused before a large house in the ghetto, perhaps owned by a past business man. She opened the gate, nodding to them as she headed up the pathway, quickly fitting a key in the door and letting them in, before they all promptly collapsed in the hall.

Amaya released a sigh as she took off her glasses, her eyes meeting Kallen's fully as she grasped Kallen's hand again, returning her smile before Tohdoh would sprint out, followed by Kaguya, and all hell would break loose.

However, as she looked into those confiednt eyes, and identical smirk, she could only think of one thing...

"I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship..."

Kay, next weeks choices:

1: Amaya recalls her first real kill...

2: Lelouch ponders on his mother, and on why she died...And the possibilities as to what his and Nunnallys lives would be like if she hadn't been killed...

3: Amaya thinks on her mask, and wonders...Why does she wear it? What forces her to keep the mask on, when she knows she can easily reveal herself to the world...?

choice is up yo y'all!
