Chapter 1: Letting Go

'So cold' . Fukuzawa Yumi thought to herself, as she was walking away from the love of her life, from her dear former onee-sama and into the cold, freezing downpour of water droplets that were coming down from the heavens.

-Flashback-

She called her onee-sama one raining night, 1 week after Sachiko graduated and with a serious voice, told her that they needed to talk in person and both agreed to meet at the greenhouse….

After all they have gone through, she thought her hopes of the two of them finally being with each other would have come true, but everything; her hopes and dreams of being together were being smashed to a million pieces right now.

"Please, you don't have to do this onee-sama, you don't have to marry Suguru-kun, not only that you don't like each other, he also won't love you as a lover or a husband would!". The younger girl reasoned with her grande soeur with sadness and eyes full of sorrow.

"Yumi please understand! I cannot go against my parents and grandfather's will! I was condemned to this loveless engagement since I was a child!".

'Right' she told herself.' She always thinks that she owes that profligate family of hers that much that the right and most dutiful, reasonable thing to do is to marry a guy whom she doesn't even like or let alone love, but is also practically going homo too.

"Can't you at least try and talk to your family and reason with them, to break off this stupid engagement, so that you don't have to marry a person you don't even like and even despise? She cried out, her eyes starting to glaze with unshed tears.

"You know I can't do it Yumi, I'll never ever stand up to my family, especially my grandfather."

"…You can't even do it for me can you?".She sobbed, as tears fell from her mocha-colored eyes like a dam breaking, collapsing from absolute pressure.

"Yumi…I'm sorry, I'm so sorry but I can't, you know I can't right?" Sachiko whispered brokenly to her petite soeur as she too, was starting to lose her calm as tears start to go down her pale, alabaster cheek.

"Of course I knew, I just thought that maybe, just maybe you'd try everything, anything just to be with me, but I guess I was wrong, I should have never had my hopes up. Now look at where this longing for a fantasy that will never come true has brought me." She cried out with sheer pain, a cry that was stabbing Ogasawara Sachiko's heart like a knife, over and over again, each time, getting worse and worse.

'Oh Maria-sama, why do I have to fall in love with a person that's already taken?'.The brunette asked herself.

"Yumi, you-we have to accept this fate, we both know this was coming, there's no denying or delaying the inevitable. The raven-haired girl tried to comfort her petite soeur by trying to hug her. Please Yumi, I beg of you, you have to ackno-"

-shove-

"Don't touch me! Please, just don't… ".Yumi cried out, her face full of agonizing pain and misery.

"Y-Yumi, I'm so sorry for hurting you like thi-"Sachiko tried to apologize with regret in her heart.

"Don't say that you're sorry! saying sorry won't change anything, not a single thing!" The broken girl interrupted her with venom in her tongue.

"..You never loved me in the first place, right onee-sama?" The girl suddenly announced in a very cold, icy tone and with a mocking smile plastered on her face which made the young heiress shiver with fear.

"H-how can you say that to me Yumi?, You know deep in your heart and very soul that I love you with everything that I have. How can you accuse me of this Yumi?" Sachiko retorted with a hurt voice.

"If you did love me very much, you'd at least have the strength and courage to try and nullify the marriage by standing up to your family, particularly your *ojii-san !. But no, you can't even confront Sayako-obasama ."She answered with a scornful smile.

"Guess this is the time to let go, and move on, right onee-sama? Or should I start calling you Sachiko-sama now?" And as the once cheerful girl, said this, she found her fingers clawing to her collarbone, her hands clinging tightly to the rosary which had so many, wonderful and painful memories.

She raised her hands, took the rosary full of nostalgia in one hand, and with the other hand, the amber-eyed girl gently took her ex-grande soeur's hand, and steadily placed the beads of Maria-sama into the blunette's now shaking hands.

The older girl stared at her now sterile palm, thinking 'when did that rosary get there?' and within a few seconds, realization slammed into her mind like a heavy, large truck going at full speed, crashing into a wall. With this, her knees started to buckle, and she was slowly, but surely sinking to the ground.

'Wait, s-so this means tha-'. Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a dazed, torpid intonation.

"Gokigenyou, Sachiko-sama. I hope and wish you well in your marriage and in life with Suguru-san" Yumi expressed with numbness in her voice and with a sickeningly sweet voice when she said the name of her once-was onee-sama's fiancé .

She bowed to the inheritor of the Ogasawara's fame and power and suddenly walked away into the cold downpour leaving her former onee-sama, silently crying and also crumbling in despair, behind.

-End of Flashback-

So here she was now, walking tiredly to anywhere her freezing feet were taking her. Her sweet, angelic face, now covered with droplets of water and tears. She knew she needed to get out of the heavy, torrential rain soon, but for now, she didn't care.

'Maria-sama, did I really deserve this?, were you watching me the whole time I existed in this humane world?'She asked herself while looking up to the coal-black sky, hoping that Maria-sama would answer her this dire question.

If anyone that knew her can see her right now, they'd be completely and be 100% devastated. Gone was the cheerful, adorable, kind, clumsy yet caring girl they all admired and laughed with; seeing her 1000 faces all in 2 seconds they say, and replaced with a new but not- in-a-good-way at all person. Her face, was so full of misery and utter pain. Her eyes, so red and puffy from crying. Her lips, that were once always smiling with innocence and happiness, were gone, to God knows where. Her whole body slumped. Her very aura and soul, giving of this intense agony and anguish that if you do see her, your eyes would suddenly tear up and you wouldn't even realize that you've already started crying.

'Wow…' she thought to herself. 'I can't feel anything, guess I'm too numb from being, utterly heartbroken to actually sense pain, especially in my chest; my heart, it feels empty'.'I can't cry anymore, I've shed a lifetime supply of tears for her. God I should stop thinking about her NOW, but I can't, I just can't.Really, how pathetic can I possibly get?'.The completely drenched girl questioned her inner mind, little did she know that there's something, or someone keeping a keen eye on her every, single move.

'That's weird, I think i have this feeling like someone or something is watching me..nah, I'm just being paranoid'.She wondered to herself, after all, she always makes the wrong assumptions out of everything right?. Not even realizing, that what she felt, that what her sixth sense felt, was absolutely spot-on.

As she continued walking, two atrocious-looking men were eyeing her with evil in their eyes, secretly from a dark alley.

Their malicious minds, secretly conjuring and planning evil and sinful ways a kid shouldn't even know.

"Hmm, should we grab her and keep her as our pet?" A man in his mid-forties asked his friend with a slur meaning that both him and his other friend also in his mid-forties are drunk, but one of them is more sober now.

"SHH! quiet down!. We don't want our adorable, charming cute princess to hear us do we? Your even more drunk than I am" The other man replied with his pointer finger in front of his lips.

"Oh, right sorry man" The man garbled with a drunken look in his face, thought you wouldn't see it because of the darkness of the night.

'What should we do about the little missy hey-wait,wait I've got it'. The sober of the two smiled with malice to himself

-shuffling of two men's feet in the rain-

"Wait, what was that?'' Yumi asked herself out loud, her heart, starting to beat faster and faster by the minute. She turned around, and saw nobody. But she can still hear it, the hurried footsteps of maybe one or two people.

"Well, well, well, why are you here walking all by yourself alone in this cold, freezing night little missy?" A man suddenly retaliated. Yumi yelped in surprise, seeing a tall man suddenly appearing in front of her, scaring the wits out of her being.

'Ok Yumi, calm down. Just tell him that your going home and that you should thank him for being concerned? Yeah that's a good plan, then suddenly walk away, and if he asks wait or something like that, RUN'. The now terrified girl told her mind, while trying desperately to compose herself.

"Umm, look mister, I have to go home now, arigatou for being concerned, but I really have to go now." And with that, she turned around and started walking, only to bump into another man, but this time, she's even more horrified, for the man in front of her now is not only big, but also drunk. She can tell from his breath when he said,

"Where do you think you're going, little girl?" The man questioned Yumi with a drunken, evil smile plastered to his face.

'Oh no'. Yumi thought to herself, and with that, let out a loud, petrifying scream.

To be continued..

What will happen to our precious, brokenhearted and also terrified Yumi now!
