The weather was unpredictable. One day the sun would be shining, and the next the sky would be caked in clouds. The out of whack forecast could only mean one thing… spring was coming. Another school year was ending at Lillian. Time was ticking, and a certain second year did not know what to do with herself.

Yumi looked outside her bedroom window and glanced up at the skies above her. To her dismay, it looked as if the day would be a dry one. Frowning, she placed her favorite umbrella back against the side of her door.

I guess I won't be needing you today, will I? she thought with a sigh. Yumi had come to love the rain, and for more than just her umbrella's sake. Sometimes, when it would rain, she would have the opportunity to share her blue friend. And on a rare occasion, she would be sharing it with the person she loved most…

Sachiko…

It had been days since Yumi had spent quality time with her onee-sama. On top of her duties as Rosa Chinensis, Sachiko had been busy studying and taking her final exams. Yumi found herself at her wits end trying to help Sachiko, but always found herself unable to do anything. Despite their years together assœurs, she still found herself doubting her relationship with the older girl, and often would sink into a depression of sorts.

Will I speak with you today, onee-sama? I still have to give you your graduation present. Yumi felt her face get hot and began to feel uneasy. It was common for sœurs to exchange presents, but this was a special occasion, and she was determined to give Sachiko the gift she knew would not be forgotten.

I just hope it will be remembered as something positive…


Around this time, over a year ago, Yumi found herself in an empty classroom with the former Rosa Gigantea;Sei Satō. It was common knowledge that Sei was a flirt, but Yumi had no idea that Sei would push it as far as she did. And soon enough, Yumi had complied to Sei's wishes and kissed the girl. It had been, however, on Sei's cheek. That day, Yumi had felt something awaken in her.

There is only one way to top a gift like that, Yumi thought. I know what I have to do. Yumi had long ago come to terms with her feelings for Sachiko. She knew from her first year that the way she felt around the dark haired girl wasn't how a petite sœur should feel for her onee-sama. Soon, her school girl crush had developed into so much more. It was to the point now where she sometimes was unable to be in Sachiko's presence. Simply standing next to her was intoxicating, and that was near unbearable.

As soon as I get her alone, I'll give it to her.
