Chapter I
-Pouring Emotions-
Yumi's POV
'How can someone this close feel so far?' I thought as Sachiko-sama wrapped me in a tight embrace. I felt my heartbeat race, and my cheeks burned in delight. I was so happy just by being next to her but moments like this reminded me that it was our closeness' boundary.
We slowly broke the embrace she then held my shoulders. Though I wasn't looking I knew she had her eyes fixed on me, waiting for me to look up. But I didn't want to meet her eyes just yet for I knew that when I do I will be lost again in those bright sapphire orbs that I loved. So I stayed looking at the ground trying to calm my heart.
"Yumi" she called gently.
I blinked twice before looking up. 'Ah she's just too beautiful, too bright.' I beamed at her before I said "Onee-sama, I missed you."
It had been almost a year since I graduated from Lilian Academy. Sachiko-sama and I continued studying at Lilian University but our busy schedules kept us from seeing each other as often as we wanted. We could barely meet up at school but on Sundays we agreed to make sure we'd spend our time together. Today was one of those Sundays, and just last night Sachiko-sama called me to ask where I wanted to go. I blurted out "Anywhere, onee-sama!" because it was the truth. It really didn't matter where as long as I'm with her. She could ask me to go in a box with her and I would happily comply. It will always feel the same wherever. And so we ended meeting up in the Ogasawara's mansion because Sachiko-sama said she just wanted to relax with me after a stressful week. We were strolling in their garden when she suddenly hugged me.
"I missed you, too, Yumi… so much." I flushed deep red after hearing Sachiko-sama say those words with a slight blush on her beautiful face. My heart went wild again. 'I'm hopeless.'
She interlaced our fingers and we continued to walk until we reached the middle of a small bridge over a pond. Tranquility embraced the scene and the only thing we could hear was the gush of water from the small man made waterfall not so far. We stayed quiet for a while comfortably feeling each other's presence. It was Sachiko-sama who broke the silence.
"How was your week, Yumi?" Sachiko-sama asked while tucking some strands of my hair behind my ear. I didn't wear my hair in two ribbons anymore. I started to let it down when I entered Lilian University. Sachiko-sama said she liked my hair down too.
"It was very busy, onee-sama. A lot of things almost got out of hand but I'm glad I managed to survive."
"That's good. You have to pay attention on your responsibilities at school, Yumi." Sachiko-sama said gently.
"I do. I always remember what you taught me. Thanks to my wonderful onee-sama, I only slip troubles a few times on my studies... ok, maybe not a few."
"Yumi!" Sachiko-sama feigned an angry tone but her eyes said otherwise.
A second passed before we broke into laughter. I was really happy to be able to spend the day with Sachiko-sama. I really did miss her a lot, I always do.
"Onee-sama, is something the matter?" I asked when I noticed her stayed silent for a while.
It was getting more and more frequent. When we were together Sachiko-sama will suddenly become silent. She was always getting lost with her thoughts. I wondered what was wrong.
'Does she not enjoy being with me? No. That's not the case, because if she doesn't she won't continue to try meeting up with me every Sunday. But what if she really doesn't enjoy being with me?'
"Yumi, why are you making such faces? I'm fine, I was just thinking about something." Sachiko-sama said noticing my distress.
"O-onee-sama.. Do you not enjoy being with me?" I asked, fear written in my eyes.
"Yumi! What makes you say that? Of course I enjoy being with you. I always look forward to seeing you." She answered with surprise in her voice. I noticed the pink hue on her cheeks.
"Really? I'm glad. I thought onee-sama wasn't enjoying because you always seemed lost with your thoughts lately. I thought you wished you were somewhere else." I sighed in relief.
To my surprise, Sachiko-sama hugged me and kissed my head. My heart started to beat furiously again, I felt my cheeks burning to my ears.
"Honestly, Yumi. Why were you thinking those ridiculous thoughts? I will never wish to be in anywhere else when I'm with you." Sachiko-sama said before she let go of me and looked me in the eyes.
She suddenly clasped her hands, and seemed like she was in deep thoughts again. She looked down before looking at me, then down again. I had never seen her in such confused state.
"Onee-sama-"
"Yumi… I… I can't do this anymore." She said as she looked me in the eyes with a slightly pained expression. In her eyes I could see her strong resolve.
"Do what, onee-sama?" I felt nervous all of a sudden as I looked back at her with confusion.
I saw her closed her fists on her sides. She inhaled slightly and bit her lower lip just as slight and then she closed her eyes and said "Holding back."
In an instant she pulled me in and kissed me. I froze.
I thought I saw a glimpse of heaven the instant her soft lips touched mine. My eyes went impossibly large and I felt my tears started to form as my heart swelled up with too much happiness I never imagined I'd ever feel.
I closed my eyes and started to kiss her back with all the love I've kept inside for so long. 'Sachiko… Sachiko… Sachiko…' My mind kept calling her name. It was like finding the most precious thing you've longed for ever since. I felt complete… so right.
We shared the sweetest kiss. We were both breathless when we separated our lips, our faces flushed. She held me tight not letting me go. "Yumi, I love you. I don't know since when but you're the one I think of every morning when I wake up. I feel sad when you're not around, your presence will always be known to my heart. The happiest days of my life are with you... and I long for you every time. I love you, Yumi, more than a friend. I love you more than a sister... and I doubt I could ever feel this way for anyone else but you. My Yumi."
I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes after hearing the person dearest in my heart declared her love for me.
"O-onee-sama.." I hugged her just as tight. "I love you, too... more than I could I ever tell you. So much that it pains me to breathe when you're this close yet I know I won't reach you the way you've always reached me. Please tell me this isn't just a dream. Please... tell me you really love me too." I felt desperate but doubts just ran into my mind when I suddenly remembered that it was my most impossible dream, right before me.
"Oh, my Yumi... I can't fool myself anymore. I had buried the truth inside my heart for too long. And yes, it's true, Yumi... I love you." Sachiko-sama held my cheeks and stared right into my eyes before she pulled me in again and kissed all my senses away.
That moment I knew a new start was ahead of us. I'd lie if I said I wasn't even a little bit scared, truthfully I was. But that doesn't mean I feared that new start, I won't back down. I have courage from my love for Sachiko-sama, our love. I felt scared but I never felt this strong before too. With Sachiko-sama by my side, I felt like I could do anything, face everything. I'd stand up against everyone for our love if it was needed, and I'd definitely fight for Sachiko-sama even from her family too. With her by my side... I wouldn't ask for anything more.
After we rained each other kisses and we both calmed down from the flood of our emotions, we just smiled at each other for a while. Sachiko-sama caressed my cheek as I leaned on her touch loving every second of the atmosphere brought by our newly declared love.
"I'm so happy, Yumi." Sachiko-sama said smiling brightly at me.
I held her hand that was caressing my cheek, kissed her palm, and pressed it against my face. I smiled at the goddess before me that never fails to make my heart beat uncontrollably fast. "Me, too, onee-sama, I'm so happy." I felt overwhelmed, it was so sudden. I couldn't believe that my life would change drastically in a short while when Sachiko-sama told me she loved me too.
Small droplets of rain started to hit us. Normally, we would've run to the nearest shed. But that moment we just smiled at each other unmoving.
"Even Maria-sama is blessing us." Sachiko-sama said.
Still standing on the middle of the bridge over the pond, we shared another kiss, in the rain. Her lips were so sweet I couldn't get enough of it. I gasped when I felt her tongue licked my lower lip, I opened my mouth to give her full access. One of my hands was on her neck pulling her close, while the other was on her back. I felt Sachiko-sama's embrace on my waist tightened when I started to move my tongue against hers. My throat let out a small moan as our tongue danced. We separated for air then kissed endlessly again until we were both gasping. Sachiko-sama rested her forehead against mine while we smiled at each other.
"Let's go back inside, Yumi. I don't want you to get sick." Sachiko-sama said when we felt the rain poured heavier. We ran back to their mansion giggling, while we held hands tightly.
Ehhh~ cheesy right? haha!
Hmm. I don't know if I should continue, I just really wanted to try writing for my favorite pair (YUMIxSACHIKO). Of course this isn't complete with a single chapter and I would really like to focus more on the conflict if I get to that. :3 Though I haven't written anything yet for the next chapter I hope the push will come to me soon. ^u^/
