Pairing: Youko Mizuno/Sei Satou, Yumi/Sachiko

Genre: Romance, Drama Angst, every now and then dry humour

Summary: "Since you two like bets so much, how about this: Winner is the one who confesses her feelings first. Are you in?" Eriko asked and smiled when two girls nodded. They were serious about this.

A/N: I absolutely hate Yumi/Sachiko pairing because they both are so dense. That's why I can't believe I'm writing this. But, hey, I can blame choki-choki for it ^^

*hug*

This is going to be multi-chaptered fic and I hope you'll like it. I won't promise updating weekly or anything... Just a warning, English isn't my first language.


Colourful Set of Roses


Prologue: Moonlight and Tidal Waves

A girl with chocolate brown hair sat on a window sill and wrote something in a small notebook. The only light was silverish white full moon. Letter by letter the girl opened her heart to page.

Dear Diary,

I was with onee-sama today and we practiced playing Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I think we are pretty good already and it makes me ^^ I wanted to hug her and say I enjoyed her company but I couldn't. I mean, what if she doesn't like me? What if she'll hate me?

I'm petite sœur but it doesn't mean we couldn't be more… I hope. Argh, I'm so frustrated with all these "what ifs". What am I going to do? There isn't anyone I could go and ask for help…

Sighing she closed the book. Why bother to write if words couldn't express the turmoil she was in?


****CSoR****


"Here I thought I was brave…" Youko muttered under her breath. She was sitting on a concrete fence outside Lillian School. It was a way past curfew and the landlady wouldn't let her back in but it didn't matter. She had way too much in her mind that she could sleep anyway.

If she was a poetess, she'd say she was Sapphic by nature. But she had thought she could forget those feelings. A beast that had been sleeping peacefully was now opening its eyes. A tidal wave crashing the shore and sweeping everything she had built away.

She was drowning and no one was going to save her. Hidden feelings, denial and fear of the rejection… They were an ocean and her miserable raft got ship - or should we say - raft wrecked.

All this was because of one person. By a quick-witted flirt of all girls!

Youko forced herself to think anything but her. For example, a small dandelion was fighting against concrete. It was a true survivor. No matter how many times ignorant humans stomped it down, no matter how many times it was torn or poisoned, it survived.

Just like the beast inside Youko. The beast that wanted her.


To be continued…

A/N2: So how'd ya like it this far? Should I continue this?
