Disclaimaa!

I DON'T own any of the Mariamite character's (except sachiko, i make sure she gets her 3 meals) jk, unfortunately.

Hey! I can dream! Tis why I'm here! I am also not held responsible if I disturb or permanently damage any person with my HIDEOUS grammar and spelling of french words. What's with that anyway?? Souer, Soeur, Soooeeeaa! (I googled it to be sure...)

Huzzah! Exciting, exciting! Possibly terrifying! I've read almost every maria-sama fan-fic I could find. Here, and on other sites. This story is my first. Very very first! Scary huh? (For you!) You've all been here! Be gentle!! Be very very gentle!

Well I hope ya like it! I've been a fan of maria-mite from the beginning and have an almost unhealthy crush on Sachiko...*cough*

DON"T JUDGE ME!!

I can take constructive criticism, but only so much LOL!

Enjoy!

Yumi lifted her head just as the school bell rang. She's late again.

She looked at her watch.

We'll both be in trouble at this rate! She looked up at Maria-sama then back to her watch. Why does she keep doing this to me?? Does she WANT me to get detention? Letting out a deep sigh, Yumi bent over and picked up her satchel. She'd already been told off on many occasions for being late to class. And I'm a senior now! She thought to herself. It couldn't be helped, she turned to walk towards the school building when she heard racing footsteps behind her. I wonder who that could be? She rolled her eyes and turned to see a scruffy, baggy-eyed girl running towards her. Her pigtails were tangled and hairs flew astray in the wind as she ran towards Yumi. She was red in the face with a look of desperation and pleading eyes begging yet again for forgiveness.

"Yuuuuumiii!!! Gomen gomen!!"

The girl reached Yumi and bent over, she was clearly exhausted and gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. When she had calmed her breathing she slowly lifted her head, squinting one eye in the sunlight and looked at Yumi.

"I said gomen!"

Yumi stared blankly at her.

"Hey! I apologized! The least you could do is show some manners!"

She stamped her foot aggressively and turned her nose up in the air.

"Late again Touko?"

Yumi smiled affectionately and ruffled her soeur's hair. Not that it made a difference.

"You're….you're not angry?"

Touko stared suspiciously at Yumi as she smiled, looking her up and down.

"Not at all. In fact I was just thinking…you certainly do remind me of myself when I was your age" She chuckled as she reached forward to fix her soeur's hair.

"Your age? Ha! Yumi don't make me laugh! You're not that much older than me!"

Yumi retracted her hand and stared Touko.

"No. But you're my soeur now. And I'm your onee-sama. Not that you ever call me by that name anyway. Hold this"

She handed Touko her satchel and reached forward to take Touko's scarf in her hand.

She felt a sudden pain in her chest. Her ears began humming.

["Motte"

Yumi looked down and took the older students bag.

"You should tie your scarf…in a proper knot…"

Yumi stared at the older student flabbergasted. She was just…beautiful.

"Maria-sama is watching"]

"Yumi! …..YUMI!!!"

["Gokigenyou"

She watched as her senior walked away, her long silky hair blowing graciously in the wind.

"Go…gokige…genyou! Arigatou Gozaimasu!!"

The lady turned, and smiled at Yumi. A perfect smile. Her blue eye's gleaming in the morning sun.]

Rosa chinesis en bouton…!

"ARGH! ONEE-SAMA!!"

Yumi stared at Touko, she could see her lips moving, but she couldn't hear her voice. Only Sachiko's. She couldn't feel Touko shaking her. Only Sachiko's touch as she brushed her chest when she tied her scarf.

Onee-sama…

"Moshi moshi!! Yumi….anybody home?"

Yumi forced a smile for her petite soeur.

"Gomen, Touko-chan, I just…gomen"

"Are you okay? You looked like you where in another place there for a second. You had me worried."

I was. And I wish I could go back to that place. Everything was so much more complicated. But made so much more sense. I realized how much everything had meant to me. And now it was too late. The Rose mansion as I had known it would never be the same again. She was gone. And I was too late to tell her…Onee-sama…

"Onee-sama I think you should go to the nurse, you aren't yourself today."

Yumi forced, yet again, another smile for her petite soeur.

"I'm fine Touko, really I am."

"What's on your mind?"

It had worked, Touko didn't look as concerned as before.

"I just realized…."

"…."

"Hey! You ran!"

Touko looked down at her watch and her eyes went wide.

"WHOOO! Look at that time. Gonna be late! Gotta get to class. Onee-sama you're gonna be late too"

Yumi rolled her eyes.

"No thanks to a certain soeur who stays up all night reading fan-ficiton! You have panda eyes…unruly child…"

Touko smiled and linked arms with her onee-sama as they walked towards the school building.

"What's the big deal anyway?"

'Whaaat? Are you kidding me?? It's a way for authors to express their creativity and connect with other people through their works of art!"

"Art huh?" Yumi snorted purposefully.

"As a matter of fact, yes. Also it's a great way to give minor characters the credit they deserve!"

"If you say so"

"I know a certain onee-sama that deeply encouraged her underclassmen to practice creative writing and different ways of expressing themselves!"

Touko's eyes flashed. She could be bitchy when she wanted to. And she wanted to. Yumi was imitating her onee-sama and it was getting on Touko's nerves. She won't let it go. She won't let HER go…

Yumi clenched her teeth. Her chest hurt again. It felt like her heart was swelling and would burst at any moment. Be safe onee-sama. Wherever you are. I'm waiting for you. I'll always be waiting…


Aren't I the mean one! I guess I should put this as an intro instead of a chapter come to think of it....

Apologies minna-san! I wanted to make a few things clear at the beginning, Touko's lack of obedience (For comedy's sake) Sachiko's absence, and Yumi's heartache as she misses her onee-sama and attempts to console herself by trying to BE the Sachiko onee-sama that she once had. Strange ne?

Alas a short preview but hopefully a taster of things to come! I hope you liked it I! will do my utmost to make sure I update, update, update.

Cuz hey....if I can spend time reading all your fanfics, I can spend the time writing no?

Write soon!
