Yudan-taiteki

Sachiko woke up this day in her bed and felt as if the world had suddenly came crashing down on her. She felt truly lonely for the first time in her life. And it was a new feeling for her, she had never felt like this before, then she turned around and saw a picture of her and her imoto on the side of her bed. This brought a smile to her face, she loved the kid, but for some reason, she didn't think she was craving her. Something still felt void inside her, she wanted more...

Yumi was the light of her eyes but something was missing on her, something didn't quite click with her at the end of the day.

She eventually rose from her bed and got ready for school, it was going to be one more gray day in her life and she just knew it... there was nothing much she could do about it, so she just went for it. She got to school, paid her respect to Maria-sama and greeted her mates as she did every morning. She was in class half the morning and then lunchtime came and she went straight to the rose manor, her body did the choosing for her. She didn't even have to think about it anymore, it was an automatic response by now.

By the time she got there, it was empty, or so she thought.

She went inside and lurked the place for a bit, not quite deciding on what to do, she didn't feel like making tea and chose for once against it, she tried to resist the tradition and just sit on the first floor, but her strength was nowhere near as powerful as her mind that kept telling here there was nothing else to do. So she went upstairs and stood before the pot and then said to herself "I don't want to make the tea today..." and placed a hand on the water tap to start the preparations, when another hand landed on hers and a voice came form behind "Then why do you do it?"

She was stunned, she felt warmth in this hand she hadn't felt before, and her mouth answered before her thoughts saying "Because it's my duty and there's nothing stopping me from it" she was so sad at those words for a second before she heard the same voice reply to her "Duty isn't all in life, and there's nothing making you do it either, let yourself live... let yourself love a little" she didn't like those words and her reply to them was fierce "I do love, I love a lot of people!" she was going to carry on but before she did she was cut off "Then why don't you love yourself a little?"

She then took her hand from the other and turned to face whoever was being this rude to her. There would be hell to pay for it. It was a given.

And the face she encountered before her was no other than a black haired girl as herself, but slightly younger and baring fire in her sight. She stood with her lips parted not knowing what to say and the other girl took the chance and grabbed her face with her hand and kissed her, a soft heart felt kiss. Sachiko wasn't thinking and just responded to the kiss, it felt so good, so liberating she just wanted to do it and did.

When they parted, Sachiko had her eyes closed and the smaller girl hugged her, a tight embrace. "I know I do, Sachiko-sama" Was all she said before she ran out of the place leaving Sachiko by herself again. She didn't quite understand what had just happened. But she knew something good had to come out of it... And she knew she was going to learn a valuable lesson if she yet hadn't.

"Noriko..." was the last word that left her lips that day. Because she simply didn't feel like saying another one.

So this was a short one-shot that simply popped in my mind.

Hope you guys liked it. I might go and write some more NorikoxSachiko simply because… I like the pairing and I don't see anybody else doing it.

Review it if you will. I do love my reviews, you know?
