Foreword.

Hello! Iím back! After so so long... It's mad.. There are two good reasons; one is, I ran out of ideas (ducks from fruits and vegetables attack.) and two, My computer blew up. And I started college. Oh. That's 3.

Anyway, I hope you all bear with me with this change.. If you don't like it , I'll always continue the old one. MAYBE. Once or if I find a way to continue it! Hahaha! Anyway, have fun with it!

Chapter 1

A tea party never to forget

A girl about the age of five came running into the garden from her grand mansion. She had short, curly hair of rich plum in color and matching pair of down-turned eyes. Her skin as pale as ivory and a smile that warmed people's hearts.

Tomoyo Daidouji giggled with happiness as one of her maids, a brunette in her early twenties stood not to far holding an umbrella, preparing to shield the lass from the summer sun.

The raven haired girl was about to play make-believe as she always had every afternoon. Today, she was pretending to be a princess who is holding a tea party for her loyal subjects. She took out her many stuff animals to join in and placed them neatly on a picnic mat.

"I'm sorry my friends." She told her stuff animals, "We're out of tea so we're having hot chocolate. Let's pretend that it is tea okay?"

She smiled and giggled throughout her tea-party. She got up to her feet and grabbed a rather large teddy bear and started to dance with it.

To provide music, the little girl sang in a low but soothing voice.

You're my prince charming, my knight in shining armor,

You fill my heart with joy and laughter,

Oh won't you please stay dear prince?

We'll have ice cream in a bit!

There was a gentle breeze blowing and it seemed that the trees and plants around her were singing along. She took turns dancing with her other 'guests' and sang with all her heart.

WOOF! WOOF!

She ceased her dancing and held her current dancing partner in her left hand. She looked towards her gates where a dog stood, wagging its tail. The dog was a dusty white with brown spots. It was a beagle.

"Oh! Mr. Dog! Did you want to join my tea party? You must've smelled the cookies that were served!" she started running towards the gate when her maid stopped her.

"I'm sorry Miss Daidouji... But I'm afraid that's a guest you don't want to invite. He has cuts all over him and they're still bleeding. He might have dangerous germs that may make you ill." The maid said as she placed a hand on Tomoyo's shoulder.

"Ah! I see! May I send him to the animal doctor? He must be in pain! And may he have some of my cookies too? He looks hungry!"

The maid smiled at her young mistress. Such a kind and thoughtful child she is, she was brought up well despite her Mother's busy schedule.

"Very well, but I shall be the one to give the dog the cookies and I'll inform the bodyguards to take him there as soon as he's done with eating, is that okay?"

Tomoyo nodded and beamed. She understood clearly that her maid just wants her to be safe and she's fine with that.

"Well, I'll grab some cookies and put it in a bowl!" she said as she bolted for the cookies that had been served to her earlier. She took a handful of cookies and carefully placed them into a bowl that she used to imagine they were having soup.

"Here you go!" she passed the bowl of cookies to the maid and smiled brightly. Her maid smiled back and walked towards the gate.

She waved to the dog before she back to her tea party. She curtsied politely to her 'guests'.

"I apologize for making you wait. We shall continue with the tea-party."

She was about to sit down and pour some tea until she heard a clatter and a scream. Her head turned just in time to see the dog at the gate running at her at full speed.

She got up and started running towards her house. The dog ran through her tea-party. Cutlery flew and teacups broke as he dashed through them.

"Help! Dog on the loose!" the maid shouted at the top of her lungs. Apparently, the dog knocked the gate open as she unlatched it.

Female bodyguards came running at the dog. One managed to outrun him and grabbed hold of the raven haired girl.

A few minutes later, the dog was caught and leashed. He was taken away immediately.

"Miss Daidouji!" The maid came running to her and gave her a tight hug, "Are you hurt? I'm terribly sorry! I let him slip by."

"Don't worry! He didn't touch me at all! It's not your fault, he was a big dog!" she reassured the maid. "I'm okay!"

"Oh.. He ruined your tea party… I'll get the equipment from the kitchen and clear this up." She said, giving Tomoyo a long hug before leaving.

"I'm sorry!" the amethyst eyed girl said as she bowed apologetically to her stuff animals.

"We'll have to have the tea-party some other time." She said as she picked up her stuff animals and took them into the house.

As she finished carrying her stuff animals back in, she noticed an untouched cup of hot chocolate.

"Mr. Dog must've missed it." She walked over to the table being careful with her steps as the maid has not yet cleaned up the mess.

"You're called hot chocolate but you're not so hot anymore," she said as she took a sip.

Her eyes widened and she started coughing. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she started crying.

The maids and bodyguards heard her and rushed to her as fast as they could.

"What are you saying! That there isn't any other way!"

Who's that? Who's shouting?

"Please calm down Ms. Daidouji but yes. That is what I'm implying."

Mama? Mama's here?

"You can't mean that! You cannot! Please say that there is another way! Please say that there is!"

Mama? Why do you sound so sad? Ma.. Ma… It hurts… It hurts so much…

Tomoyo opened her eyes slowly; there was a bright light above her. She squinted several times before she turned her head to her left side.

A woman with short auburn hair wearing an executive suit and a stout man with gray hair were there. The woman was crying, her make-up smeared all over her face as the man looked down glumly.

"Ma..." a pain that felt like flames burst through her as soon as she tried to speak. She clutched her throat and wheezed in pain, trying to breathe properly.

"Tomoyo!" the woman ran to her and hugged her tightly. The man ran to the hallway and called for some nurses.

Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! My throat!

Tomoyo shut her eyes tightly as tears streamed down her face. Her mother cradled her.

"Ma… Ma… It… It hurts…" she said in a low and raspy voice. She tried her best not to swallow as the pain continued to burn.

"Honey, Please don't talk. It'll only hurt more!"

She nodded and started coughing. Her hand shifted from her throat to cover her mouth. She looked down to her hand to find it stained with blood.

Her mother's eyes widen in horror.

"Doctor! She's coughing up blood!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Her voice was shrilly and filled with panic.

Tomoyo continued coughing. Her throat wasn't getting any better and the blood wouldn't stop.

The pain was too great, Tomoyo felt faint. Before she blacked out, she saw nurses and the man rushing towards her.

Sonomi Daidouji was a highly respected woman; she owned a huge toy company and has alliances almost everywhere in Japan.

But the woman standing before her daughter did not look as respected as she was supposed to be. Her hair was in a mess, her make-up damaged heavily by her tears, her lips were pale and she was shivering all over.

It was hard to imagine that she did not look like that three hours ago when she received a phone call when she was in the office.

She had been informed by one of the maids that her only child was rushed to the Tomoeda Medical Centre. She hung up and left the office before the maid could explain what had happened.

She didn't bother to ask her driver to take her there, she drove herself. Along the way, she repeated a silent prayer over and over.

When she arrived, the maid who was with Tomoyo during her tea-party explained what had happened.

"…The dog crashed into a few teacups and one of its shards fell into the cup of hot chocolate Miss Tomoyo drank from. The shard cut Miss Tomoyoís throat…" The maid said as she shivered and continued her crying.

"I'm… I'm so sorry…" she buried her face into her hands, "I should've been quick to clean it up!"

"Please, there's no use for you to cry. It was an accident." Sonomi said as she laid a hand onto the maid's shoulder, "We should just wait for the doctor to finish up with Tomoyo, I'm sure it wasn't anything serious. I'm sure it's just a tiny piece of shard."

Unfortunately, she did not expect the news that she was about to receive.

"Ms. Daidouji, I'm sorry for what has happened. I'm Doctor Kyoichi Yanahara, the lead ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) specialist here." The stout man introduced himself as he and Sonomi met in Tomoyoís hospital room.

Tomoyo was asleep on the bed. She did not have any bandages around her throat but she was wheezing, as if someone was suffering from asthma. She was really pale but other than that she seemed like she was just taking a nap.

"Tomoyo? How is she? She'll be alright yes? You took the shard out right?" Sonomi glanced at her daughter, her hands forming into fists of uncertainty.

Doctor Yanahara sighed and shook his head.

Sonomi's eyes met his. Her eyes widened.

"I'm sorry but I was unable to take the shard out without confirming you with the news."

"What? What's wrong with my princess? She… She looks fine! It isn't anything serious right?" her lips quivered as she spoke. She kept glancing at Tomoyo now and then.

"I'm afraid it IS very serious Ms. Daidouji."

He bit his lip and continued,

"The shard cut through her vocal chords. When she coughed, the shard dug deeper into her vocal chords. It is impossible to take it out without removing her vocal chords as well. May I have your permission for her to have surgery to remove her vocal chords. The shard will be embedded into her throat and will serve a death threat to your daughter if she doesn't undergo surgery."

End of chapter one.
