Hi there : ) This is the first time I post a story. Also I'm not fluent in English so pardon me if there are several mistakes.
This story takes place right after chapter 35, there will be several chapters, the first will be more like a prologue and maybe quite short.
I hope you'll enjoy!
I do not own Citrus or any of its characters, all credits goes to Saburo Uta.
Tomorrow is already the start of the new school year, the summer holidays are over and were full of twists.
All good things come to an end, Yuzu thought.
Nevertheless, she was really happy to spend this last day of vacation with Mei, even if the brunette seems sadder and absent these last days.
I hope things will work out, in any case I'm going to do everything I can to help her getting better, Yuzu told herself.
After this long walk, the two sisters came back home, both tired of their day, Mei a little more exhausted than her half-sister and the heart even heavier.
-Mama I'll take a bath before eating! Yuzu shouted as she headed for the bathroom.
She looked at Mei and smiled to her. The purple eyes girl was amazed by the beauty of the blonde girl and the frankness of her smile, Mei shivered, this was the effect Yuzu had on her.
She continued to look in her direction even after the blonde closed the door behind her, then Mei just catch in her hand the ring she's wearing around her neck and looked down sadly.
Yuzu unlike her sister, entered in the bathroom with a large smile on her face. She wanted now to relax in the hot water and let go all of her thoughts.
Yet once in the bath, it's more like all of her thoughts are bringing her back to Mei again.
Why can I stop thinking about her…
I have just the feelings that every minute, every second, every moment my thoughts bringing me back to her. I just can get her out of my head, she's in my skin. Yuzu says to herself.
All of this makes Yuzu happy, but lately she has a bad feeling. Since they returned from the trip this summer, Mei act different and Yuzu feels really sad about it.
She barely speaks to me and her eyes are sad again, like they used to be. I thought I had managed to pierce her shell...
The bell of the doorway brought her out of her thoughts. Who can ring at home this late ? Yuzu said to herself before plunging her head completely under the water and start thinking again about the girl she loves. I wish I could decode Mei...
Indeed despite all her efforts to understand the brunette, it was really difficult for Yuzu to understand her half-sister. She always had the impression that she was hiding her feelings and it seemed that in their relationship, every step forward was followed by three steps back.
Yuzu kept thinking about it until shivers shook her whole body and she noticed that the water in her bath had become cold. She had finally fallen asleep in her bath. The blonde got up and grabbed a towel to dry herself. For how long she was asleep, she did not know, also she did not understand why her mother had not called her for diner.
-Sorry mama, I fell asleep in the bath, were you waiting for me all this time to eat?
Earing no answer from her mother or sister, Yuzu walked into the living room and found her mother sitting on the couch.
The table was not set and diner was still not ready which seams really strange to Yuzu. Taking a look at the clock in the living room, she noticed that she was asleep for nearly 40 minutes.
-mom...?
Her mother did not bother to face Yuzu and contented herself by answering with a sad and slightly trembling way.
-I'm not hungry Yuzu, you can warm up the leftovers that are in the fridge.
Yuzu found her mother's behavior really strange.
-Hm yeah ok, and what about Mei?
Her mother takes a moment to answer.
-No, Mei is ... out. She won't eat with us.
At this announcement Yuzu was surprised. It was not expected that her sister would come out tonight, at least she had not told her about it.
She hasn't said goodbye to me, she sadly thoughts.
It was the second time in a week that her sister was suddenly leaving without any explanation. Yuzu was starting to find that strange.
-When will she go back home?
-She won't come back home tonight. Her grandfather came taking her.
Yuzu remembers the bell when she was in the bathtub.
-But where did she go? I did not know she was going out today, she did not tell me about it.
-I do not know Yuzu. I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
Ume Aihara got up from the couch and headed towards her bedroom without even looking to her daughter.
The blonde did not understand. Well, I'll see her tomorrow during classes, she thoughts. Too bad, I would have liked us to get prepared together for the beginning of the new school year.
Yuzu warmed up the leftovers and ate before going to sleep in the bed she shares with Mei.
Tomorrow I'll try to know why she looks so sad these days. Maybe something occurred between her and her grandfather, she must need support.
Yuzu put on her nightclothes, lay down on the side of the bed where Mei use to sleep and close her eyes in the sheets that smelled like the girl she loves.
She was quite sad about her sister's absence, but since she was too tired, she quickly falls asleep.
I hope you enjoyed it, once again pardon me for the mistakes I could have made.
Thanks for reading :D
