Reached for my heart
Summary: from the previews chapter
Tomoyo went to England to work as a maid. While making her way to the house she'll be serving, she met her cousin whom she last saw 3 years ago. Tomoyo has no idea whom she'll be serving and all she knows is that her master-to-be is a real baka
Chapter 3: MEET YOUR NEW MASTER
"Here you go, fried rice mix with eggs and sausages, pair with a nice cold apple juice"
Tomoyo went out of the kitchen carrying the foods she just cooks. Her luggage were still in the living room, she hasn't have time to take it to her room because Nakuru said their young master will go down soon, and she hasn't cook break fast yet.
Nakuru and Spinnel are drooling while waiting for the food to be served. The smell of each ingredients use makes them hungrier.
"Finally Daidouji sanâhurry, I want to taste those foods in your hands" Nakuru said demandingly, which Tomoyo giggles.
"In one condition, you'll call me by my first name, okay?"
"DEAL!" both Nakuru and Spinnel said.
Tomoyo giggles more and serve them their break fast, it wasn't so soon when their young master went down to the dinning hall.
"Good morning master" Spinnel greet when he saw the blue hair teenager at the front door of the dinning hall. This made Nakuru and Tomoyo look at his direction
"Good morning Master Hiiragizawa" Tomoyo greeted him cheerfully
"Tomoyo Daidouji? What are you doing here? I don't remember inviting you here" His voice was cold, cold as ice.
Tomoyo don't know what to say. By the sound of his voice, he sure wasn't inviting. So Nakuru decided to speak up for her
"Master Eriol, Tomoyo is here because" She was cut off when Eriol shout at her
"I am not talking to you, Ruby moon, so stay out!" he warned. Of course, Nakuru automatically shut up. Tomoyo saw Nakuru tremble while looking down. She was possibly sure that this wasn't the first time Hiiragizawa yell at her. Tomoyo look up straight at him, which he takes by surprise.
"What?" he ask
Tomoyo took a deep breath before she answered him
"Wellâ I-I wasâI am the one whom the agency sent from Japan. I-I am here to work as your servant, or better yet what you so call maid" Tomoyo said and look down
Tomoyo don't know where those sentences came from while talking to his old sweet friend who turns into a cold hearted master. Slowly she looks up to see Eriol seating on his chair digging his food. She waited for reply and hope it is good.
"Nakuru who cook this food" he ask not bothering to look back at Tomoyo who is standing on the right corner of the table
"Tomoyo did. Wasn't it good?" She answers with a smile.
"I enjoy them" Spinnel said absently, when he felt Eriol's eyes on him "Oops, sorry"
"Anou, Hiiragizawa Sama, I-I would like to have your opinion on my first cooking" Tomoyo said speaking in her Japanese accent.
Tomoyo don't know why but Nakuru and Spinnel stop eating their food and as if they were waiting for something to happen. This made Tomoyo to feel unease too. She suddenly heard Eriol's silverware drop at his plate. Both his guardians were startled but didn't say a word.
"Hiiragizawa kun?" she continues to talk to her Japanese accent and look at him, questioning.
Eriol's face is blank. He stood up from his chair, looking down.
"You want to know if your cooking is good or bad." Tomoyo nod
"Well NO! IT'S NOT GOOD! It doesn't even look good. You just use aroma but the taste is awful" Eriol said insensitively.
Tomoyo didn't know how to react. The whole dinning hall was cover with silence. She was confuse on what's happening and just look down.
'What's going on here? I mean why he had to be so cruel. I am just asking for his opinion and that he don't have to yell at me if it doesn't taste good, hmm maybe he is just in the bad mood today, or something.' She thought
Eriol was about to say more when he saw Tomoyo smiling at him
'What is he smiling about?' he said to himself 'didn't she realized I am already criticizing her cooking' he thought
"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment, Hiiragizawa Sama" she continue to spoke in Japanese
This made Eriol furious
'Is she making fun of me?'
"Really, how clumsy of me. I mean to criticize you, not to praise you. Stupid"
After that he left the room.
"Tomoyo chan, are you alright?" Nakuru ask walking towards her. She just nod, face in blank expression. Nakuru was about to hug Tomoyo when they heard the clock bell, it says it is already 7:00
"Oh My GOSH!! I am going to be late for work! Tomoyo chan I'll explain later what happen, Suppi show Tomoyo chan her room okay!" She said in a hurry.
Tomoyo and Spinnel even heard her bid good bye to their Master
"MASTER ERIOL, I'm going now. YOU SHOULD TOO!!" and with that, finally Nakuru left the house.
Spinnel was surprise when he saw Tomoyo leaving the room
"Where are you going, Tomoyo san?" he ask flying towards her and settle on her shoulder.
"In the living room, Hiiragizawa kun is leaving soon right. I have to wish him luck. At least those are the things my former servants do."
'What? This young lady is weird. Normally, when we received our new servant especially from Japan, whenever he talked to them using his rude manners, they all leave this place as much as possible. But she was different, even though she is one of master's former friends; he still wants to wish him luck? Tomoyo Daidouji, I remember 7 years ago she is the optimistic type of personâ.hmmm, I wonder if he could turn back the way master is used to be?'
"Earth to SpinnelâEarth to Spinnelâhello?" Tomoyo repeatedly said looking the black cat in her hands
"I'm sorry, I was thinking something. Is something a matter?" Tomoyo shook her head
"Nothing, I was just going to ask you why Hiiragizawa is so mad at me"
"He isn't. Just don't talk in Japanese, especially not in front of him." Tomoyo look at him confuse
"I'll tell you later, I think master Eriol is going down the stairs now" Tomoyo nod
When Eriol went down to the living room, he saw Spinnel and Tomoyo in the front door.
"See you later, Mater Hiiragizawa" Tomoyo said in English now as Eriol pass her.
Eriol stop in his track and look at them but only to Spinnel did he bid his good bye as if Tomoyo doesn't exist in there, and then left the house.
Tomoyo sigh and took all her luggage. She looks at Spinnel who flew back on her right shoulder
"Will you show me my room now?" she asks politely as if nothing happened.
