AN: Konnichiwa, minna-san! Arigatou for your lovely reviews! I'm so moved ::sniff sniff::! Well, keep them comin'! Anyway, Since chapter 2 and 3 are both so short, I posted them at the same time. This is basically about how they're fending without each other, and it's not pretty.
Chapter 2: The Modern Business Woman
"Mommy, mommy! The chicken rang!" the six-year-old Daidouji Kara yelled as she shook her mother from her bed. When the older woman put a pillow over her head to cover the noise, the child screamed even louder. "The chicken rang!"
"It's the alarm clock, sweetie, not the chicken. And if the alarm clock rings then it's. it's. it's time for me to get to work!" Her eyes were as large as plates as she stared at the chicken shaped alarm clock. Immediately, she jumped out of bed and almost tripped over her daughter. In a limited ten minutes, Daidouji Tomoyo was out the door with an entire cardboard box full of files.
'Kana-san is going to kill me,' she thought. She'd remembered how angry her boss was the last time she's late. After dropping Kara off at daycare, she speeded the rest of the way to the firm. With the luck she had, the elevator was in repair, so she ran up the entire nine flight of stairs wearing three inch heels. 'At least I'm getting my exercise.'
As she entered the flat on which the firm was located, she tripped over a trashcan and almost flew across the room. "Can this day get any worse?" she muttered. And just as if she'd jinxed it, she saw her boss come out of his office and from his expression, he was not happy.
"Daidouji-san, we can't have you coming in late everyday. What's going to happen when my substitute comes in tomorrow?" the thirty two year old lawyer said as he towered over Tomoyo.
"Yes, Kana-san. It won't happen again," she muttered as she got back to work. 'Being a single working mother at 26 sucks.' In the back of her mind, a certain someone's face floated into mind. 'Forget about it, Daidouji. He's probably married and leading the perfect life you always knew he'd have.'
After a hectic day at work, which included three spilled coffees, four 'trips', and two mixed files, she finally picked up her daughter and laid on her bed, falling asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
The next day, she made sure that she'd set her alarm clock early so she wouldn't be late. It would be kind of bad if her new boss got a bad first impression of her. So for once, she was actually ahead of schedule.
