A/N: This idea suddenly popped in my mind, and I decided to write it down and share it with you fans. :] This is like the maid x master kinda fanfic.
So please read and enjoy!
Chapter 1:
It was raining. The sky was covered in swirls of dreary clouds while a set of raindrops pounded on the streets, sending flows of water through the cracks of the ground.
Nagisa's auburn hair dampened as she began running through an ally, making small splashes along the way. Her shirt began to stick to her peach colored skin and her light crimson colored eyes began to water, blurring her vision. She could hear the bullets of rain hitting her head like an artillery gun.
'Stupid mama, stupid papa.' She dragged her suitcase, which was now covered in raindrops. Her head was throbbing in anger; she could feel the vein in her forehead about to pop. 'I don't wanna hear your arguments at all.' She wiped the tears from her eyes and continued to run. 'I'm really sick of it.'
She had just ran away from home. Having to deal with the shouts and yells of her parent's fights every night pricked her heart as if she was the reason for it.
She took shelter under a small roof on the sides of the ally and sat quietly there.
With her knees up and her head under her arms, she began crying again.
The tears continued to flow to into a channel under her eyes while feeling a ball in her throat choking her.
She didn't care about anything in the world right now. Her father, her mother, where she is right now - she let the tribulations from her mind flow like rushing water streaming rapidly down a lake.
A sharp wind suddenly pricked the air as Nagisa shivered. Only the sound of raindrops filled the air. Though, a slight sound of something rustling came from a corner of an ally.
Nagisa turned her head to what it was, but later dismissed the thought of it as stray cats scavenging in the trash cans.
Nagisa returned back to her thoughts and then sighed in resignation. It now occurred in her mind that she didn't know where to go.
Baka Nagisa!' She pat her head of how much of an idiot she was. ' Oh wait, I know, I'll go visit Tamao-chan! She doesn't have any roommate right now, so maybe she could smuggle me in.'
The thought of visiting her best friend lightened her mood just a little bit. Tamao is Nagisa's trust-worthy best friend. She goes to a private all-girls school and Nagisa attends a public school which means they don't see each other on weekdays. However, that didn't stop them from keeping their friendship alive ; they contact each other through email or converse with each other through the phone whenever Tamao can use the computer in the library or smuggle a cell-phone in school grounds. They always share their troubles with each other, give advices to each other, and tell a few corny or hilarious jokes whenever necessary.
But the fun moments of what she had with her best friend wasn't what she was thinking of.
Nagisa stood up, and with her suitcase clutched in her hand, she began searching for the nearest bus-stop to Asterea Hill.
The raindrops continued to stick to the window, racing down the glass wall.
The room was silent, except the sound of rain crashing unto the roof and windows. Tamao sat silently on her chair with a piece of blank paper lying on her desk. She fiddled the pencil in her hand, contemplating a new poem she could compose.
She checked her phone if Nagisa had replied to her text message yet.
No replies yet...
She now regretted sending that love letter. The letter that holds the confession of her love for Nagisa. That was the biggest mistake of her life.
If she rejected her feelings, what would happen to their friendship?
She scratched her head in frustration and began to jot down ideas for a poem, shrugging the thoughts off.
"Hey, girl." The man said as he came closer to Nagisa. "Are you lost? Why don't you stay at my apartment tonight?" The shabby man smirked while he pinned Nagisa to the nearest wall, with his hands cupped to her wrists.
"N-no please. I-I'm was just waiting for someone. Pl-please let me go." Nagisa started to panic. She could smell the intoxicating stench of alcohol and urine from the man as the personal space between them began to narrow.
"Hey, hey, hey come on. Don't be like that. Heh heh heh..." Nagisa could almost puke from the smell of his breath after he breathed out a smile.
"Please, please just let me go." If only she didn't wander into this ally, she wouldn't have been stuck in this situation.
The rain continued to soak into her hair like her tears starting to water in her eyes.
"HEY! What the hell are you doing to her?" A voice, not too far away, called out from the distance.
Nagisa and the man turned their heads to what it was. She could feel the tight grip on her wrist beginning to slacken as the man's attention heeded away from her.
There stood a figure on the entrance of the ally. Nagisa couldn't make out the silhouette clearly in the rain, but she could tell it was a woman, holding an umbrella.
The man frowned and said, "Hey, lady do you mind? We're doing something here."
The figure stood silent.
"Ahh...please help me." Nagisa begged the woman as the man began rubbing his erection unto the pleading red-head. ' I don't want to get raped. 'She winced in her own tears at the disgusting act.
After standing for a few moments, the woman suddenly lunged forward and swung her legs, kicking the man on the ass.
"AUGH!" He screamed and faltered away from Nagisa. A hand covered his rear-end, hoping the pain would stop. The woman then walked forward and thrust her knee to the man's organs, making him yelp in agony as he covered his crotch with his other hand. The woman then grabbed the man's messy hair and pounded it on the wall next to where Nagisa was standing. Crimson blood now covered his face.
"You-you fucking bitch!" He ran away rather unsteadily and slumped, nearly tripping on a few trash cans.
The woman turned her head to Nagisa, walked forward, and said, "Are you okay?"
Her savior's voice was soft and serene, like the sweet voice of an elegant aristocrat. Wavy silver hair, like silk flowing gracefully in the air, reached to the back of her slender figure ; light fair skin made her appearance more feminine - like a peach wrapped in the most finest and exquisite silk. All these exemplified pulchritude that this woman possessed can truly be compared to the Goddesses above. But what captivated Nagisa the most was the pair of jaded gleaming eyes staring deeply into her, as if she's gently looking into her soul.
"Daijoubu ka?" The woman asked again. This time, she walked more closer to her and made her stare more deeper.
The more Nagisa looked into those emerald-coloured eyes, the more it made her uncomfortable. It gave her butterflies in her stomach. The first time in her life, just by staring at someone, it gave her butterflies in her stomach. It was as if time stopped for her. The longest 5 seconds ever.
And she didn't know why, but...suddenly, she felt her legs move. She's not sure if her legs are really moving or just an illusion, but she could tell the woman's figure was becoming more smaller, no- more distance. It's as if the woman was running away from her. Or was it the other way around? Yes, it was. Nagisa is running away from her. But why? She could even feel her hair becoming more wet as she felt herself running away from the ally, from the mysterious woman with luminous eyes.
It was as if her legs carried her. To safety, perhaps? But what dangers would that woman bring? Maybe it was all a set-up. Maybe she was just gaining her trust. Maybe the man was hired so that woman could gain trust from her. 'Wait, what the heck am I thinking?' She shook her paranoid thoughts away from her head and let the rain caress her soft skin while gasping for air from the long jog she just had.
'But what was the reason why I did that?' She leaned down on her knees and looked behind her on the distance. 'I didn't even get to thank her properly.' She thought of running back to the woman, but she knew she would get lost again. Besides, she's probably not there anymore by the time she gets back. She could picture the woman walking back to her place, with an umbrella in her hand, wondering about the crimson-haired whom she just saved - wondering why she ran away.
'Whatever...' She shook the thoughts off from her mind and decided to walk to Asterea Hill instead.
'That was weird. Why did that girl run away?' Shizuma glanced around the streets if the red-haired girl was around. 'She had such a cute face too.'
She sighed while lit up a smile. 'Oh well...' The silver haired beauty then decided to go back to her house.
Nagisa was standing in front of the path to Asterea Hill. Guessing from how long the path looked, she never knew how a long trek it would be to get to Strawberry Dorms.
She looked up her destination. The disparaging buildings glared at her. Maybe it was just her imagination- but it was as if the rain covered windows were mocking her. She could visually picture the eyes of the buildings wagging their finger teasingly while throwing her with snide remarks.
'Just standing here won't get me anywhere.' Nagisa entered the woods, hoping she wouldn't get lost.
But quickly regretted it after walking a good distance, thinking she was now lost.
Every time she sees a dark area of the woods, it felt as if it was giving her an eerie glare. Every time she hears animals nearby, she felt as if it was going to jump on her an eat it. Every time she trips on small branches, it felt as if someone was going to kidnap her. The woods were just too treacherous for her.
''Hoot...'' A sound came from one of the trees as Nagisa was walking by ; though she decided to ignore it. ''Hoot, hoot...'' It sounded off again. This time, Nagisa turned her head to where the weird sound was coming from. 'Hoot hoot hoot...' It went again as Nagisa's leg started to shaken.
'Wh-wha-what the heck was that?' Her stomach gave off a lurch of fear as she look around nervously.
And then - like a flash of light - a a group of birds emerged from one of the trees and suddenly swooped down on Nagisa.
"IIIYYYAAAAA!" The frightened Nagisa covered her head from the birds and ran away helplessly. She didn't even bother looking at her directions as her eyes were closed in fear. She recklessly tripped on a branch, and then landed on on mushy grass. "Ow, ow, ow, ow..." She stood up and was now covered in mud.
A sound of flapping wings frightened her again, which made her jump and trip on a branch, making her roll down on the muddy landscape. She tried to stop by grabbing on of a hanging branch but the force of gravity outdid her. She closed her eyes in fear as she continued to roll down the hill. She then landed on a pile of mud again while feeling a few bruises and cuts somewhere in her legs.
'Ow, ow ow..." She really regretted coming here now. If only she stayed home, she wouldn't have been in this mess. Nagisa pictured herself lying on her bed while sending back text messages to Tamao, ignoring her parent's arguments from the next room ; picturing a more jubilant Nagisa than the one this is now.
She could feel tears watering her eyes while a ball choked her throat. Sadness and anger intermixed with each other as it overwhelmed her.
She wanted to yell. She wanted to scream in the rain while covered in mud and debris, letting go all her problems.
But she didn't. Something made her stop. When she looked ahead, there stood a house sitting comfortably near the trees - it wasn't too small, but a little big.
The windows were lit, staring at her, as if it was welcoming her. Nagisa beamed a smile while relief washed over her.
She stood up from the mud and knocked on the door. She felt so blissfully happy like she was under a trance in a euphoric paradise. She can't even tell if she's having headache from either happiness or pain, but she could tell there was a short pang suddenly pricking her in the head. But whatever, she's relieved now, like she was in the state of nirvana.
The door swung open, revealing a woman with gleaming green eyes staring at her and shiny silvery hair.
It was the woman from earlier - this jerked Nagisa back to reality.
"A-ano..." Nagisas tried to speak, but she felt so nervous from the woman's emerald orbs. And because the pain in her head grew more sharper, it was more difficult to find the right words to speak.
Nagisa's body felt hot all of a sudden. Sweat started rolling down her forehead as the pain in her head pricked her head more. The world started to swing around her and her surroundings blurred in her eyes. She felt her back sweating and her body became numb. From the blurring visions, she could see the woman's lips gently leaning in to touch Nagisa's forehead.
And then - like light switch off - everything faded to black.
'Where am I again?' Nagisa conscious came back to her. She couldn't tell where she was but she could tell she was lying down on the floor. 'Oh yeah, I passed out.' Nagisa rubbed her head dozily, the headache still there.
She opened her eyes tiredly - but the very first thing she saw immediately woke her up. Pink glossy lips began to lean towards her and close the distance between Nagisa. The startled red head looked up and saw the silver haired woman trying to steal a kiss from her. Nagisa leaped back, and the woman's eyes immediately opened at the failed endeavor.
"Wha-what are you trying to do?" Nagisa stood up and kept her distance from her.
She didn't say anything, but walked more closer to Nagisa. Her expression was stoic and impassive while she stared into the red head's eyes.
"Wha-" The woman gently grabbed Nagisa by the shoulder and made her gaze more deeper.
Nagisa shook the woman's grasp and leaped back and knocked something over behind her. The surprised red-head looked behind her and saw a vase shaking slightly and then -
CRASHED! It landed on the floor and shattered to pieces.
Nagisa became flabbergasted, realizing what she had just done. "Go-gomen nasai..." Nagisa apologized while the silver haired woman merely stared at the broken pieces.
"That vase...was a family urn..."
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean too." Nagisa has absolutely no idea to skirt her way out of this situation.
"You'll have to...pay..."
"Eh? I'm sorry. I don't have any money." She was on the verge of crying out tears, but she decided to hold it in. "I..."
The woman turned her head to her, giving Nagisa a piercing angry look. "Then pay with your body!"
"Eh?" 'Pay with my body? What the heck is that suppose to mean?'
The silver-haired turned her back to her, cocked her head to the side and said, "Starting from now on, you will be my maid." '
'Nani?' The red-head screamed in her mind from the confusion she's getting,
"I own you now," The woman said before leaving the room, leaving Nagisa in an overwhelming state of bewilderment.
