" GET. BACK. HERE!"

These were the words that echoed throughout the small hamlet of "Tuttlo" as two small figures dashed past the arms of their pursuers, arms full of treats, such as sweets and breads, and darted around a corner into an alley to hide behind some trash cans just as their pursuers raced past; oblivious to the fact that the two children were just out of caught their breath; panting heavily before grinning at each-other and smiling widely.

The first figure was a small girl around the age of nine, with small short brown hair tied up in two small pigtails and big baby-blue eyes. She had fair skin which had blossoms of pink growing from the adrenaline from the run. She wore a white sweater that hung to her mid-thighs and light-blue shorts, with a big, goofy grin on her face.

And the other figure was a boy of about the same height with lightly tanned skin, but what you would really take note of his short silver hair and his golden eyes, wearing a black t-shirt with a golden emblem, and dark-grey jeans, with a triumphant, small smirk looking down at his bag.

They both looked at each other, before they burst out laughing and talking of how "stupid those bakers are" but before they could enjoy their catch , a girl of 12 with big brown eyes and brown hair tied up in a ponytail reaching down to the back of her jeans reached up from behind the trashcan and yanked the small girl up and smack her hand down on the girl's backside causing her to yelp. Just as the silver-haired boy was about to come to her aid, a man with short brown hair wearing an apron came around the trashcan and pulled him up by the hair and gave him the same treatment as his companion. After about five swats, they dragged them out of the alley and through town, the customers not even glancing at the children being dragged, a familiar scene by now, and into a small house made of bricks. A creaky sign accompanied it reading,"Camille's Orphanage" on the outside with graffiti hardly making it legible anymore, and letters missing(Really, who takes those?)

An attractive woman who couldn't be older than twenty-five with amber eyes, and long orange hair, held with a bow greeted them with a smile, but quickly turned to a frown when she saw the reason why they were there. The man and girl quickly thrust the children forward glaring daggers at them as they rubbed there sore back-sides, then gave the woman a nervous smile as she directed her attention toward the two seething people.

"Mr. Okimaru, I know this is bad bu-" She was interrupted as the man held up a hand, pinching the bridge of his nose while breathing out an exasperated sigh.

"Camille this is the THIRD time this WEEK they tried to steal my family's food! You think I'm gonna take another 'I'm sorry' and just let them go!? I think not!"

The silver-haired boy hiding behind Camille muttered, "Good, cause you're not getting one.."

The brown-haired girl elbowed him quickly,"Shush it crazy!"

But was seething with anger as a vein popped in his head, "You lit-"

Camille interrupted by clearing her throat ," I will, pay for the food, and I assure,' she added sending a quick glare at the two cowering children's direction than back to the family," That this will Not happen again."

The man nodded as Camille went towards a desk by the front of the room and pulled out a small wallet and handed some bills to the man. Grumbling with dis-content, the baker promptly left out the door, while his daughter remained, glaring at the two.

"If I catch you two one more time, I promise the both of you shan't sit right ever again!" before stomping off as the two stuck at their tongue at her;making mocking faces at the girl's retreating back,but straightened up with innocent smiles as Camille looked at them angrily.

She just stared blankly at them for a few moments before sighing and saying "You two really must stop stealing from those two-... Scratch that, I mean stealing from 'everyone'!" Making them flinch and look at their shoes, scuffing the ground guiltily."You both know the only 'reward' you get is being caught and smacked in the end!"

They flinched at her words, edged with truth and frustration for the two.

"But you should've seen what that girl said to us!" The girl piped up , her companion nodding furiously, before both flinched at the fire in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter, Riri! Now watch your tone!" Riri bit her tongue, glaring off to the side.

"The same for you Sesu! Both of you are to stay in your rooms for the week! Do nothing but your chores! Understood?"

The two grudgingly nodded and quickly rushed past the hallway into the room they shared. In the orphanage , each person had to have a room-mate to save rooms for more orphans, despite the surprising lack of them in this village. You would have thought by now that they would've gotten changed room-mates. But the mayhem they caused when separated was to much of a head-ache so Camille allowed them to stay.

The room consisted of a small, rundown computer, a window(boarded up after too many escape attempts. And two beds separated by a dresser with a picture of when each were six.

"I can't believe this!" Sesu screamed throwing his pillow up in the air to hit the ceiling, as Riri moaned into her pillow."T-The.. The i-in-dig-nation of all of it! The audacity!T-The insolence! How dare you enter the Grinch's lair!? The insolence! The audacity! The impudent gall!"* Riri rolled her eyes as he dove into a "sophisticated rant", of which he aspired as to be taken seriously by his peers and elders. While in reality it simply either made them laugh or tick them off.

"They can't just... Just let them act like complete JERKS!" He said, accompanying every enunciated word with a flurry of hand gestures."

And if WE get back at them, then WE'RE the ones who get punished!"

Riri nodded into her pillow; he did indeed speak the truth. She just didn't understand that this was the only defense they had; being as they had no muscle and(though they may try to pretend) not much intellect that isn't drowned out by the excessive amount of impulsiveness the small children carry. This is who they were, the outcasts, as she put it. They've been best-friends since they were little and met in the orphanage. Nearly in-separable and always up to mischief!

She sat on her elbows ready toss in her consensus of opinion when a boy with short black,slightly spiky hair and neon-green eyes wearing a white sleeve-less shirt and grey shorts looking around the age of 13 stood in the doorway and said "Yo Aka-chan*' causing her to Riri blushed,"someone came to see you!Get your scrawny butt out there!" and quickly closed the door as Sesu threw a pillow at him grumbling, something along the lines of 'jerkswhodon'tknowwhentoshutup' and looked at Riri as if to say "Expecting Someone?", Answered with a shake of her head as she got up and went to the door,pausing to give him a hesitant look and, upon being greeted with a quizzical expression and shrug,slowly walked out the door. She walked down the hall, nearly at the entrance as two twins, a little more than half her age, zoomed past her, tripping her and making her land on her sore rear. Yet the only apology she received was them snickering and pulling faces at her...

Jerks(Honestly, who wasn't?)

Rubbing her rear(ONCE AGAIN) she made her way to the doorway,and there as she blinked and took in the scene before her; trying to make sense of what she was seeing.

Camille was currently occupied with one of them; blushing and chatting with a young, handsome man with raven-black hair and unbelievably scary red eyes, dressed in a suit. And next to him a boy who couldn't be older than fifteen! He had short,dark, navy blue hair dressed in a long,dark jacket that moved down to the seat of his pants with long, dark slacks and dress shoes... Honestly.. What was his obsession with dark? Then again, he had bright, calculating aqua-marine eyes that had the essence of.. Hope? That and happiness?

Well it would had he been lacking the arrogant smirk that was just BEGGING for someone to smack off his cocky face.

She had no memory of either of them, prompting the other to raise a delicate eyebrow(Shut up.. Eyebrows can be delicate) at the lack of recognition before walking slowly to her. She watched, a bit frightened, as he continued his strides until he was directly in front of her, and she was face to f-.. Er, chest with the obviously haughty boy. She didn't know how long they had stood there, and she was just about to slowly back away and go back to her room and just hide under the covers and cry from confusion. Just then, however, the boy glanced at her and raised his chin slightly, a cold smirk on his face as he looked down at her.

"Hello Puppy."

*1: That was inspired by,"How the Grinch stole Christmas(movie adaptation)"

*2: Japanese for baby, also Riri's nickname at the orphanage, except by Sesu.

((So first, I'm sure you noticed the village doesn't exactly seem to take place in Victorian era times, this was intended, as I wanted it to give off a more modern feeling.
