A/N: Hey everyone! I know I said I probably wouldn't do a longer story for a little bit, but then this happened and I really want to do it. I was originally going to do a different idea, but I just love this one. I am going to put a spoiler for obvious reasons, but if you just want to enjoy the story for what it is then just skip it.
(spoiler begin)-
It's a dead giveaway being posted in the Strawberry Panic section and probably quite obvious through just reading this chapter, but Sachiko and Yumi will be attending Miator. The only hint I will give you for this story is if you have read the strawberry panic novels then you may catch onto this story faster. That is all I'm going to say. If you want to know about the novels and want to then please PM me. I would be glad to tell you as I own the novels and have read them more than once :).
(spoiler end)-
Story Start
The day had just begun and Ogasawara Sachiko had found herself walking towards the Statue of Maria Sama with her publicly known girlfriend, Fukuzawa Yumi. Their relationship had unknowingly started the very same day that Sachiko had fixed Yumi's scarf and only grew more intimate after Yumi finally put her feelings aside and took Sachiko's rosary. These feelings weren't instant though, in fact they had taken time to grow, but from the get go they both had felt something deep within.
It was this very same confusion that had caused Yumi to originally decline Sachiko's rosary, she had always admired Sachiko from afar and knew her mixed feelings for her may cause trouble if she were to become her younger sister. That didn't last long though and on a night both would never forget, Yumi had become Sachiko's Petite Soeur. This was the beginning of a relationship that no one saw coming, especially Sachiko's Onee-sama Mizuno Youko, they remembered it clearly.
"Thank you for having us Onee-sama." Sachiko said as Youko nodded, setting a tray with tea down in front of the two girls.
"It's no problem, I will always have time for my younger sisters." Youko responded with a smile as she took a seat across the table from Sachiko and Yumi. "So what brings you two here today? You said you had something you wanted to talk about?" Youko asked as Sachiko took a deep breath and looked at Yumi like she was asking if they should really go through with this. Youko could tell whatever it is they were trying to say seemed troublesome, but she couldn't imagine that her younger sisters would do anything bad.
It took Yumi a second to look up from the silence but when she did she met Sachiko's eyes with her own and with a slight smile Sachiko turned back to her Onee-sama. She knew Yumi was ready to face this with her, they had developed almost a silent communication through body language.
"Onee-sama, we came to you today because we don't know who else to go to. You are like a motherly figure to us both and we felt safe telling you this." Sachiko started as Youko raised and eyebrow in confusion.
"You aren't in trouble are you?" Youko asked worriedly before Sachiko could continue.
"No, we are not in trouble." Yumi answered as Youko took a breath of relief.
"That is good to hear, but if you are not in trouble then what is so hard to say?" Youko asked as she watched Sachiko take Yumi's hand in her own.
"Onee-sama. . . I. . . I am in love with Yumi." Sachiko finally said as Youko remained silent, her brain working overtime to process the newly gained information.
It took a moment for Youko to gather her wits. "I-I don't see anything wrong with this. I love you Sachiko. I think it's only natural that you love your sister." Youko said as she took a sip of her tea feeling quite awkward.
"Youko-sama, I think you misunderstand." Yumi said as Youko turned her attention to Yumi. "What we have if more than sisterly love." Yumi said as Youko turned to Sachiko who only nodded.
"Onee-sama, Yumi is my lover." Sachiko said knowing that if she said girlfriend it was probably be taken as a friend that just happened to be a girl.
Youko took a deep breath as she drank the rest of her tea in one big gulp and set the cup down on the table with a deep breath. "I see. . . Since when?"
"I don't know." Sachiko responded as she thought back to the moment she was able to place her rosary around Yumi's neck. "I think since the moment I met her. I could feel something was different about her. I was determined to make her my Petite Soeur for reasons I did not understand, but something told me that I needed to make her mine."
"I figured when I finally claimed her as my Petite Soeur that I would be happy, but still I felt incomplete, like something was still missing. It wasn't until I started catching myself daydreaming and carefully watching her that I started to feel these feelings. My heart raced and every time she touched me I felt as though I could faint. When I parted with her at the end of the school day I thought only of the next morning when I would get to see her again. I was falling in love and when I couldn't take it anymore I called her to the greenhouse. We shared our first kiss there." Sachiko explained as Youko listened carefully.
"Why are you telling me this, Sachiko?" Youko finally asked as Sachiko and Yumi looked at one another briefly.
"We have decided that we want to be together as an official couple. We are telling our friends first so that we aren't as scared when facing our parents." Sachiko explained as Youko sighed.
"So my Petite Soeur is a lesbian." Youko said in disbelief, almost defeated.
"Are you upset, Onee-sama?" Sachiko asked as she placed a hand over the rosary she had received from Youko so long ago.
Youko shook her head as she stood and walked to the window. "No, I'm not upset. I just need a little time to think is that alright?" Youko asked as Sachiko stood with Yumi.
"Yes, I think that is fine. We will be going now. Thank you for listening." Sachiko said with a bow as Youko glanced to them with a slight smile.
"I will call you in a day or two." Youko said as Sachiko held the door open as Yumi left the room. "Sachiko. . . I'm not mad in the slightest, but perhaps you should wait to tell the others until we talk?"
"I think I can do that. Thank you again, Onee-sama. I will await your call." Sachiko said as she left the room and shut the door.
It had been a stressful week when Sachiko and Yumi finally decided after being with one another for some time secretly that they would come out. They had both still been too afraid to go to their parents and instead had gone to the one person that they could count on.
That day would never be forgotten, it was the first time they had declared their love for one another to another person, Youko had to admit later that though she had wondered about the two. Over the next few months Sachiko and Yumi had been becoming more and more open about their relationship. They had hinted at it to their parents here and there and had come out to the rest of the Yamayurikai during a Christmas get together at the Rose Mansion. Their acceptance was the best gift they had received that year, though the following new years wouldn't be so easy.
It had been a cold winter night and Yumi had been given permission to spend the night with Sachiko, which the two were very excited about. It would be their first new years eve as a couple, both were excited and as soon as the year had changed they decided to take a step outside and make their resolutions.
Sachiko let out a breath into the cold night air as she wrapped her arms around Yumi to keep her warm. Both had been wearing their nightgowns, but had decided to cool off briefly on the small balcony in Sachiko's room. The night had been surprisingly clear for winter, their were few clouds in the sky and the moon was shining brightly illuminating everything outside dimly.
Yumi looked up with a smile when she felt warm arms around her, it had been as close to a perfect day as either of them could have wanted. Sachiko of course took this opportunity to share their first kiss of the year as she took a hand and ran it up Yumi's neck gently to hold her head in place. It didn't take long though for Yumi to eventually turn around in her arms briefly breaking the kiss and wrapping her own arms around Sachiko's neck. Sachiko looked up to the stars for a moment before looking back to Yumi smiling, this night had been perfect.
"Sachiko, what is your new years resolution?" Yumi asked breaking the romantic silence that had lingered around the loving couple.
Sachiko smiled thoughtfully for a moment as Yumi waited in anticipation. "Of course staying with you no matter what happens." Sachiko replied softly a moment later as Yumi smiled.
"It seems we have the same resolutions." Yumi said as Sachiko's smile grew bigger and she went in for another kiss stopping only centimeters away from Yumi's lips. "I love you, Sachiko." Yumi whispered, every breath felt against Sachiko's lips as she paused.
"I love you too, Yumi more than anything in this world." Sachiko whispered back before closing the small gap between their lips and hugging Yumi tightly. The year couldn't have started off any better for the two. "Your lips are cold, Yumi. Perhaps we should go in?" Sachiko asked after breaking the kiss and turning towards the door that lead to the balcony. Yumi simply nodded as they both took a step inside and froze immediately.
"M-Mother. . ." Sachiko said horrified as her mother stared at the two in disbelief. "I can explain." Sachiko tried to say as Sayako shook her head and left the room, slamming the door behind her. Sachiko paused with her head down halfway between the door and Yumi. It had only taken a few moments for her to feel Yumi's hand on her shoulder and even less time for Sachiko to be embraced by Yumi as she let out a tear.
They had never planned for her parents to find out like that, she had planned on telling them when the time was right for both her and Yumi. The rest of the night had been long and hard, thankfully Yumi had been their to comfort Sachiko in her time of need. When the morning came Sayako had built up the guts to face her daughter again and when she entered the door she found Sachiko asleep in Yumi's lap who had fallen asleep sitting up with her hand in Sachiko's hair.
It was obvious to Sayako that Yumi had been up all night with Sachiko. For some reason seeing this had completely taken away any drive to talk with the two about what happened. Instead she would leave them be and for the next few days Sachiko and her mother would keep their distance.
This hadn't gone unnoticed by Touro though, he knew something was up and when he asked his wife he had been shocked to find out about the kiss between Sachiko and Yumi. Of course Touro being the man he was decided it would be best to bring both Sachiko and Yumi into his office and have a talk.
"Thank you for coming." Touro said as Sachiko and Yumi bowed slightly. It was quite nerve wracking for both of them to be standing out in front of his desk facing him. They felt vulnerable and the fact that Sayako was standing behind his chair not making eye contact with either of them only made it all the more uncomfortable. "Do you two know why I called you here today?" Touro asked a moment later as Sachiko glanced to Yumi before raising her head.
"I-I have an idea. . ." Sachiko said weakly as she glanced to her father quickly who had a serious but determined expression on his face.
"Your mother tells me she saw you two kissing on New Year's Eve...care to tell me about it?" Touro asked as Sachiko put her head back down and remained silent. "You know staying silent will only get you in trouble Sachiko. Now tell me, what did you two do that night?" Touro asked again this time a little threateningly.
Sachiko slowly raised her head still only lifting her eyes high enough to see the wooden surface of the desk Touro was sitting behind. "I. . ." Sachiko swallowed as she glanced to Yumi quickly. "I kissed her, sir." Sachiko finally said as the room went silent again. She could hear Touro let out a heavy sigh as he leaned back in his chair.
"May I ask why you kissed her, Sachiko?" Touro asked as Sachiko put her head down feeling weak again.
"B-Because I like her." Sachiko said almost in a whisper to afraid to tell her father.
"I couldn't hear you Sachiko. Stand up straight and tell me, you are an Ogasawara after all, are you not?" Touro asked somewhat demanding as Sachiko straightened her posture but kept her eyes on the large window behind her father. "Now tell, me. Why did you kiss her?"
Sachiko swallowed one more time as she felt her heart race within her. "B-Because I. . ."
"Because what, Sachiko?" Touro asked impatiently.
"Because I love her, sir." Sachiko finally said as she closed her eyes in fear of what might be coming.
Touro was about to say something else, but was stopped by Sayako's hand on his shoulder. All he could do was let out another sigh and let his head droop.
"Sachiko, you understand what you are saying right?" Sayako asked as Yumi glanced up to Sachiko, she especially was afraid to be in this office at the time.
"Y-Yes, Ma'am. I understand what I am saying." Sachiko replied as best she could though it was evident that her voice was quivering.
"And what about you?" Touro finally asked as he lifted his head and looked at Yumi with that same serious but scary business face he was so commonly known for.
Yumi lifted her head immediately as she looked at him. "I-I feel, the same, sir. I love, Sachiko." Yumi said as Sachiko took her hand.
Touro rubbed his eyes as he remained silent for a moment. "Am I to understand that you two are in a relationship?" He finally asked.
"Y-Yes, sir. I have been seeing Yumi for quite some time now." Sachiko admitted as Touro looked to his wife and then back to Sachiko and Yumi.
"You two can leave now, I need to think about this." Touro finally said a moment later as Sachiko and Yumi bowed and took their leave.
It had been a rough month for all of them, but eventually Sachiko's parents had started to try and accept this relationship. Admittedly it had gotten better the longer it went on because at first Sayako and Touro would only accept it as a phase the girls were going through. As the months went on and the two became closer they had started to change their minds. Sachiko and Yumi were definitely a couple, whether they liked it or not.
That had been months ago and since then Yumi's parents had also found out, though they were much more approving of their relationship. This had been such a relief to the two girls who feared that both of their parents would have a problem with it. Since then, things had gone good. Sachiko's relationship with her parents had been returning back to normal and her bond with Yumi had been stronger than ever. Unfortunately though, there troubles were not over yet.
Later that day. . .
Sachiko took a deep breath as she glanced across the gym at Yumi who was also looking at her, it was quite common for both of their classes to be doing PE at the same time. Though they had to stay with their class, the two would always exchange looks and take any opportunity they could to approach one another.
"Sachiko, come on!" Rei said as Sachiko realized she had been resting for too long.
Sachiko shook her head and started to jog again with a big smile on her face. She knew Yumi had seen everything and with a quick glance she could see the younger girl laughing to herself.
"Fukuzawa, get your head in the game." A girl called out as Yumi turned quickly only to be hit by a rogue volleyball, which had knocked her onto her bottom.
"Yumi!" Sachiko cried as she quickly ran over and moved Yumi's hand from where she was holding her head. "I don't see any marks, are you alright, Yumi?" Sachiko asked worriedly as Yumi rubbed her head once more before smiling.
"I-I'm fine thank you." Yumi replied.
"Ahh, isn't that cute. The love birds are having a moment." One of Yumi's bullyish classmates said as Sachiko turned to her with fury in her eyes. "You're not fooling anyone Sachiko. Everyone knows your not the cold person you used to be. I just can't believe you let another girl, let alone Fukuzawa take your heart, it's a shame really." The girl said as Sachiko stood from Yumi and started walking over to the other girl as Rei ran over and broke up what was about to be Sachiko's first fight.
"Hey, that's enough!" The teacher said when she finally noticed what was going on. "Ikeda, in my office. Sach-"
"Ogasawara Sachiko and Fukuzawa Yumi please report to the principal's office." A voice over the loud speaker said interrupting the gym teacher.
Rei looked at Sachiko who just shook her head at the girl before turning back to Yumi and helping her to her feet.
"Get off me." The girl said as Rei dropped her defending arm and let the girl go to the gym teacher. She couldn't help but wonder what Sachiko and Yumi had been called into the office for.
In the office. . .
Sachiko held the door open for Yumi before slowly and nervously taking a step inside and letting the door shut behind them. It was only then that the principal looked up from a paper she had in her hand.
"Please take a seat." The principal said while offering the two chair's in front of her desk to them, which the girls took quite quickly. The room remained silent for a moment as the principal flipped through some papers on her desk and finally pulled one out of the file and read it a little before setting it on her desk.
"It has been brought to my attention that you two are in a relationship." The principal said as Sachiko and Yumi looked at one another for a moment.
"Yes, that is true." Sachiko said looking back to the principal who looked to Yumi.
"I-It's the truth." Yumi confirmed as the principal sighed.
"Then what I'm about to say isn't easy and the fact that you both have such high standing's in the school only makes this that much worse. . . Unfortunately, the school does not tolerate the type of relationship you two have and with that in mind...I have to expel both of you. . . I am truly sorry."
"E-Expell?! You can't be serious, this has to be some kind of mistake." Sachiko argued as the principal shook her head.
"I understand your frustration, but I don't make the rules, I simply enforce them."
"You have to get this changed." Sachiko said desperately as the principal put her hands up to calm Sachiko.
"Listen, I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do. The decision has already been made, today is your last day at Lillian. Your parents have already been informed." The principal said as Sachiko remained silent with Yumi comforting her.
"What about the Yamayurikai?" Yumi asked a moment later as the principal cleared her throat.
"They will have to do without the roses this year. A new line of roses will be elected next year." The principal explained as Yumi put her head down with a sigh.
Sachiko was upset, but still couldn't help but give Yumi a big hug when she saw her put her head down. "Don't worry, Yumi. Everything will be alright, I promise."
"I'm sorry, girls. This is out of my hands. I will need any keys or school property returned by the end of the day. . . I wish the best of luck to both you, I hope you have a bright future together." The principal said as Sachiko stared at the floor still in disbelief with Yumi. "You may return to your classes to gather your things now. I need it returned before the gates close."
"Come on, Yumi. . . We should probably tell our friends at least. . ." Sachiko said as she stood with Yumi still in her arms and left the principal's office.
The principal sighed once the girls left the room, she knew the school would be upset about this also. After all, Sachiko and Yumi were quite popular among the students and being the heads of the rose family, she could only imagine the reaction.
The girls hadn't made it but ten feet from the principal's door before Yumi finally fell to her knee's and let out her first tear. Sachiko had wondered when this would come, she knew Yumi was a little more sensitive and the only thing she could do was join her on the floor to try and comfort her. "Yumi, everything will be fine, we will make it through this." Sachiko said trying to calm her down.
"I-I know, but what about our friends? What will happen to them?" Yumi asked through her sobs as Sachiko hugged her tighter.
"They will still be our friends, Yumi. We will still see them, I promise." Sachiko said as she fought to hold back her own tear.
"What about the Yamayurikai. . .?"
"T-They will be fine without us. . ." Sachiko said as her tears finally escaped her eyes. She had been hurting just as much as Yumi and though she could hold it back, she finally let her emotions get the best of her. "W-Why don't we go gather our things and meet at the Rose Mansion?" Sachiko asked as Yumi nodded and stood slowly with Sachiko.
They wouldn't leave each others side as they went to their classes and gathered their things. Though they remained silent while gathering their things the other students couldn't help but notice the tears in their eyes.
Rei especially was worried when she saw Sachiko walk in and avoid eye contact with everyone. She grew even more curious when Sachiko took her stuff out of her desk and made her way out of the classroom.
After collecting their things and returning them to the office all they could do was wait in the Rose Mansion for their friends.
"Sachiko, Yumi, what happened?" Rei asked concerned as she burst through the door with the rest of the Yamayurikai following. It was evident that both had been crying, though they had found comfort in being with one another for the past hour.
Sachiko could only shake her head as the girls took their seats listening closely to anything the two might say. "T-They kicked us out." Sachiko finally managed to say, though weakly.
"They kicked you out? You mean they kicked you out of the school? For how long?" Rei asked in shock, anger, and mostly disbelief.
"Permanently." Yumi replied as Sachiko pulled her closer.
"P-Permanently. . .? This has to be a joke, this can't be real." Rei said as the rest of the girls sat in silence thinking about what had just been said.
"It's real, Rei. This is our last day at Lillian. . ." Sachiko said as she quickly glanced around the council room. She would never forget the memories she had made in here and would always hold with her. She knew not ever seeing this room again would be tough.
"So, what are you going to do?" Yoshino asked breaking the silence that had followed Sachiko.
"I don't know. The principal said our parents know, so I'm sure we will find out soon." Sachiko replied as Rei shook her head, she didn't want to accept this. The Yamayurikai had always been so close and now two of it's members were being torn away.
"What about the Yamayurikai? What about the rose family? They can't just get rid of you." Rei said as Yoshino put and arm around her, she had to try and be strong for Rei once more. Though she wasn't sure how long she could do it, after all Yumi was a very dear friend just like Sachiko was to Rei.
"They will elect a new rose family this following year." Yumi explained as Shimako stood from her chair and gathered her things before quickly leaving. The girls knew she just didn't have a way to deal with her emotions and would let her leave. Of course Noriko would follow soon and Sachiko and Yumi would be left with Rei and Yoshino.
"So, this is really it? This is our last time all together in this room?" Rei asked as Sachiko felt a tear come to her eye as she looked to the window where she remembered telling all of her friends about their relationship and how happy it had been.
"Yes, after today, Yumi and I will no longer attend Lillian. All of our things have already been returned to the school. This really is the end." Sachiko said as Rei put her head down and and remained silent for a moment as she thought about everything.
"I-I'm sorry, I just need time to think. I will call you both later." Rei said before standing up and leaving the room.
Yumi could see the concerned look in Yoshino's eyes as she watched Rei leave. "Yoshino, go to her, this isn't easy for any of us. Just remember, we will all still be friends." Yumi said as Yoshino weakly smiled with a nod before standing and going to leave the room, pausing in the doorway.
"Sachiko-sama, Yumi-san, I'm sorry it came to this. Please stay in contact." Yoshino said before leaving the room completely.
The room remained silent for a moment as both girls looked around one last time. "There has been a lot of memories in here Sachiko." Yumi said as Sachiko nodded.
"Yes, there has been. I will never forget this place." Sachiko said as Yumi nodded. "We should probably get going though. . . I'm sure our parents are expecting us."
Later that day. . .
Sachiko slowly entered the front door of her house closing it as quietly as possible, though she knew it wouldn't matter. Her parents already knew and if they didn't it would only take until the next day to figure out something was going on.
"In here, Sachiko." Touro called as Sachiko felt her heart sink.
Sachiko entered the room that her father had called her from. Her parents had been together sitting on the couch and across from them was an open chair that she knew was meant for her.
"We received a phone call from the school today. . ." Touro said as Sachiko sighed, looking down to the floor.
"Breaking up with her won't solve anything, it's already happened." Sachiko said before her parents could say anything else.
Sayako looked at Touro for a second before glancing back to Sachiko. "We know that. We had no intentions of asking you to break up with Yumi-chan." Sayako said as Sachiko glanced up in surprise.
"We know you won't leave her, but from now on we don't think you two should be open about your relationship." Touro said as Sachiko felt a small surge of anger course through her body. She hated having this conversation with her parents, it had always been brought up when her and Yumi got into trouble.
"That is too bad, I will not deny my love for the woman I love." Sachiko said as Touro sighed and shook his head.
"This isn't a game Sachiko. You are facing real consequences right now. You aren't even attending school as of today or have you already forgotten that?" Touro asked angrily. "All you seem to care about it that girl, she will be the end of you Sachiko." Touro continued as Sayako tried to stop him.
"Like you care!" Sachiko remarked with the fury that she had been capable of. "All you care about is your stupid business and whats in your wallet. I would love to hear the last time you even told mom you loved her!" Sachiko said as Sayako opened her mouth to say something, but Sachiko put a hand up stopping her. "If my happiness is effecting your business than fine, I will just leave. At least then you can sleep soundly at night knowing your lesbian daughter won't smudge your perfect name." Sachiko said before storming out of the room.
Touro kept silent as he looked away from the door Sachiko had gone out of, had he really been so cold that Sachiko was led to believe that? "You should probably go stop her." Touro said in a somewhat pained voice.
Sayako stood from the couch and silently making her way towards the door, stopping at the sound of Touro's voice.
"Sayako. . . I love you." Touro said as Sayako acknowledged this but kept quite. She wasn't exactly happy with Touro right now and he knew was now starting to realize that.
With that Sayako made her way down the hallway to Sachiko's room, she knew her daughter was angry but she had never heard her have an outburst like that before she could only imagine that Sachiko was serious this time about leaving.
Sayako sighed when she entered Sachiko's room and saw her throwing clothes into a bag. "I know you're upset, but is this really the best choice?" Sayako asked as Sachiko stopped what she was doing and looked at her mother.
"I don't know if this is the right choice or not, but it's better than staying here. I am only in the way of the family business. . . If I wasn't then dad would have been able to tell me that himself. Besides it doesn't really matter you don't really approve of my relationship either." Sachiko explained as her mother sighed.
"Sachiko it's not that I don't approve it's that I want what is best for you."
"Yumi is best for me." Sachiko said interrupting Sayako.
"I know that. . ." Sayako said surprising Sachiko. "That is why I have looked into other options for you two. I knew when I received the phone call earlier that things might boil down to this." She added as Sachiko gave her a questioning look.
"Other options?" Sachiko asked as her mother sighed and thought back to the phone call she had made earlier.
"Yes. . . There is another school...they are a bit more open about your type of relationship. I have already called, they assured me that you and Yumi would stay together."
"What do you mean we would stay together? I think I made myself clear that I am not leaving her." Sachiko said.
"You did, but I think you are missing my point. You would be living with Yumi. This school requires you to live on campus. I figure you have proven the seriousness of your relationship with Yumi so I think it's only fair that we respect that.
"You are alright with this?" Sachiko asked as Sayako shrugged.
"Well, I can't say it was easy decision, but you two are almost done with high school and I know you plan on living with her anyways, so I suppose it doesn't matter in the end." Sayako explained as Sachiko smiled.
"Thank you. I know you don't like her, but she means the world to me." Sachiko replied as Sayako looked at Sachiko a little surprised.
"Sachiko, I don't dislike Yumi-chan, I never have. It's just that she is taking my little girl away." Sayako said a tear formed in her eye. "You are graduating soon and when that happens I just know you will move in with her and I'm not ready for you to be gone yet."
Sachiko took a deep breath as she slowly made her way over to her mother and wrapped her arms around her. "You are right, I do plan on moving in with her right away. . . I will still be your daughter then, no more than I am now though." Sachiko said as Sayako returned the hug.
"I expect to hear from you often." Sayako said as Sachiko nodded in her arms. "Now you should probably get a hold of Yumi-chan. You two have school next week, so you need to pack."
"N-Next week?! What if Yumi's parents say no?" Sachiko asked as Sayako smiled.
"Don't worry, I don't think they will have a problem with their daughter transferring schools for free. I will take care of her parents, you two just get ready. You will be arriving on Sunday to get your rooms and have time to unpack." Sayako replied as Sachiko smiled.
"I will go call her then. Thank you, for everything."
-X-X-
Yumi sighed as she closed the door behind her and looked up to the clock. It was still about an hour before her dad would be home and though she was afraid, she figured she should talk to her mother about it quickly. She was always much more comfortable talking with her mother about these types of things.
Just like Sachiko's parents though, her mother had already known and with that in mind she gave Yumi a very dissatisfied look and when she walked into the kitchen and set her stuff down. "How was school?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked as Yumi put her head down. She was sure her mother had already known.
"DO I have to answer that?" Yumi asked too afraid to make eye contact with her mother.
"No, I was just seeing if you would be honest about it." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as Yumi kept silent for a moment.
"Does dad know?" Yumi asked a little hesitantly as Mrs. Fukuzawa turned and put the vegetables she had been cutting into the soup she was making.
"Not yet." Mrs. Fukuzawa replied as Yumi sighed.
"Are you mad?" Yumi finally asked not getting much of a reaction out of her mother, she knew her silence wasn't a good thing.
"I'm not as mad as I am frustrated." Mrs. Fukuzawa replied as she turned back to Yumi. "I'm upset that this happened, but in the end I'm more upset that you got kicked out for being in a relationship with Sachiko-chan. I just don't think it's right for the school to be able to kick you out over something like that. I'm sure plenty of lesbians have gone to that school."
"Mom. . ." Yumi sighed, she wasn't exactly fond of the word lesbian even though she was in love with another girl. It just felt like and insult every time someone said it.
Mrs. Fukuzawa sighed as she set her knife down that she was cutting with. "I'm sorry. I still don't think it's right though."
"I know but ti's already been decided." Yumi said weakly as her mother came around the counter and gave her a hug.
"It will be alright, I will help you tell your father, I know he can have a temper sometimes." Mrs. Fukuzawa reassured Yumi as the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Yumi said as she let go of her mother and went to grab the phone somewhat surprised to see Sachiko was calling. "H-Hello?" Yumi asked a little hesitantly, she thought it could possibly be Sachiko's father calling to threaten her, but she was happy to hear Sachiko reply back.
"Hello, Yumi. I know this is probably a surprise that I am calling you, I hope everything is alright on your end. . . I've already had a talk with my parents." Sachiko explained as Yumi sighed.
"I've talked to my mother, she is alright, my father isn't home yet though. How did it go with your parents?" Yumi asked as Sachiko thought about what she said to her father.
"It was alright, I guess. My father isn't pleased, but my mother surprised me." Sachiko replied as Yumi raised an eyebrow in confusion. "She came to my room after the conversation and told me that she had something for us."
"For us?" Yumi asked.
"Yes, for us. She found us another school." Sachiko said as a smile crept it's way on to her face. "This school is a little different from Lillian though, my mother told me that we have to live on campus and that is has already been decided that we will be sharing a room."
"Y-You mean we will be living together?" Yumi asked in astonishment.
"Yes, Yumi we will be living together." Sachiko confirmed as Yumi practically jumped for joy before realizing she had to tell her parents.
"What about my parents? How much will this cost? What if they say no?" Yumi asked as all her worries flodded her mind.
"Yumi, it is all taken care of. It's already been paid for and we are to arrive there on Sunday. My mother will deal with your parents, she told me that. You might want to start getting ready though, we are moving in with each other, Yumi." Sachiko said barley able to hold back her cheerful excitement.
"I will start packing right away." Yumi replied excitement now evident in her voice.
"Good, I will let you get to that then. I love you, Yumi." Sachiko said with a smile.
"I love you too. I'll talk to you later tonight." Yumi said with a bright smile as she hung up the phone and turned back towards her mother who had been looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Something going on?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked noticing Yumi's change of mood.
"Yes, but you have to promise not to freak out." Yumi said as her mother looked at her prepared for something terrible. "Sachiko found us a new school."
"A new school? Sachiko?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked thoroughly confused.
"Well, her mother found it, but it's not a normal school. I. . . I would be living there with Sachiko." Yumi said as Mrs. Fukuzawa took a deep breath thinking about it. "Her mother has already payed for everything and says we will be leaving for the school on Sunday. Are you alright with this?" Yumi asked as her mother rubbed her forehead, it was too much to take in at once.
"I...I don't know Yumi. I mean we don't even know anything about this school and I don't know if I'm wild about you living with your girlfriend." Mrs. Fukuzawa explained as Yumi put her head down. "Yumi, I didn't say no and I can't really argue with it already being payed for and you being registered. I would like to speak with Sachiko's mother."
"She said she would talk with you and dad about it." Yumi said feeling a spark of hope. ". . . Does this mean I can go?" Yumi asked a little hesitantly.
Mrs. Fukuzawa took a deep breath as she rocked her head back and forth. "Fine, but I expect to hear from you every night. I also want to have a conversation with Sachiko's mother, would you ask when she is available later tonight?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked fully aware that Sachiko and Yumi always talked on the phone every night.
Yumi smiled and nodded as she ran over to her mom and gave her a hug. "Thank you mom. I was told to start packing though so I think I will go do that."
"Alright, I will talk to you father when he gets here." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as Yumi smiled before running up the stairs towards her room.
A/N: Alright so that is chapter 1 and I know it may be a little confusing to those who skipped the spoiler but I swear chapter 2 clears it all up. This chapter may seem a little rushed, which I tried to take care of (Maldytah may notice the difference from the original). It was supposed to be a little rushed because of what the story is about. That being said chapter 2 is in the works, the process for doing this story is a little different and it may be posted a little slower due to this, but hopefully it's a little better than being rushed.
I know not everyone know's Sachiko and Yumi. I have talked with a few of you :). So I will give you a rundown quickly so it makes sense because honestly all you need is there personalities you will understand the rest of the story I promise!
Sachiko - Tall slender girl with black long straight hair. She can be considered an ice princess because of how she reacts to things, which isn't much honestly. She is from a very wealthy and powerful family and through her upbringing she has learned to always be a proper lady in everything she does or even during very stressful times. She is pretty scary when mad. Most hope never to see this and few are able to calm her. ( :) )
Yumi - Sachiko's Petite Soeur and or little sister through a rosary. Sachiko is Yumi's Onee-sama and they are not related. Yumi is an average height slender brunette girl with pigtails. She tries hard to learn from Sachiko how to be a proper lady though like Nagisa she has a lot of embarrassing moments. Her facial expressions usually give away what she is thinking (which is something she is known for.) She can be kind of a clutz though not as bad as Nagisa in my opinion. Like Nagisa though she is very caring and energetic.
