Man, I've only published this a few days ago and I already have gotten so many reads, thank you guys! This started with just an idea that I had in my head which was kind of fun to imagine how different will it be if it happened and here we are now. I'm trying to write as much as I can considering that I am busy with school and shtuff, but I'll try to keep a minimum of 3 days. So just enjoy somewhat rereading Yuzu's Mei's Love Story.
P.S. I wrote a little bonus scene and also this story will be mostly in Mei's perspective if you haven't figured that out already
Chapter 2 is based on Chapters 3 4
"Yuzu-chan got taken away..."
"Taken away...?" I mumbled.
"Yes... she was taken away from a group of guys from Okogi came and Yuzu-chan didn't protest so there's really nothing I can do," He sighs as he wipes his tears away. This is my fault, isn't it? "Ah, sorry for that Mei, memories when your mom past away flooded back,"
"Would it make you feel better if I try to convince her?" I asked.
"Yes, that would be wonderful..."
For his sake of my father, and I guess myself, did she really wanted to leave?
"Hey, you!" I raised my voice as the president walked past me. "You got something to say about me?"
"Eh not really," She said as she continues to walk. She seems normal, but I know something is up.
"Your previous homeroom teacher Amemiya-sensei had to leave for personal reasons," The new teacher announced. "From now on, I'll be your new teacher!" I can hear the murmurs spreading across the room and Yuzu just stayed quiet about it.
"Meimei~" Himeko came and hugged me tightly. I didn't really bother to do much as I was too focused on thinking about the situation "You alright there? You look a bit blue today,"
"I'm fine," I said, still trying to figure out what to do.
"I was thinking maybe we can make any plans today!" She cheerfully said.
"Not today, maybe another time." I sighed. Besides, I still need business to take care of.
"Okogi-san!" I shouted her name. "We need to talk,"
We were outside near the fountain and I look back at her, still standing.
"I guess I have to say this, but I'm sorry about the assembly I didn't think that things will end u-" I got interrupted since Yuzu was now close to my face. I had a light blush on my face and she smirked at me. "So you'll take me back and save me from our grandfather?" I became speechless and I felt my face warming up.
"Nah, I was just kidding,"
"Grandpa told me to stay my distance away from you to prevent any influence so I'm sorry for this... but then again, I could've just disagreed if I wanted to, so I'm afraid that we can't be talking with each other"
It was gym class and we started doing volleyball but it's was break time right now and my back was aching from it so I tried to crack it myself.
"Uhmm... you sure you can do it by yourself?" Himeko questioned with a worried face.
"I'm fine," I said while trying to get back up for the game
I played a game against a selected team, but instead of keep focusing on playing I started gazing my eyes over at Yuzu, she talking with her friends in a circle as they're also taking a break. We're sisters but we are a world apart since she and I are opposites.
"Agh!" The ball directly hit the side of my face and I grunted. The whistle blew and the coach came up to me "Are you alright?" I nodded and quickly got up.
"Is that the girl who says she's the chairman's granddaughter?"
"I think so, you think she really is the President's stepsister?"
"Maybe, she might be lying just to get closer to Yuzu-san,"
"Wow is it really that difficult for her?"
I glared at the girls who were talking about me. I gave them a cold stare and they looked at me with unease and got quiet. People really need to mind their own business as these rumors just keep spreading.
It was the second night without Yuzu and I tried to go to sleep. I stared at the covers that she was in and I got up and hugged it. The feeling that eats me up inside. I don't know why I feel this way, but I certainly feel disgusted with what I am doing right now.
I woke up and my head felt dizzy. I got up and was going to the kitchen when I accidentally knocked over something. It was Yuzu's stuff that she hasn't picked up yet. I decided to give it back to her as an excuse to talk to her.
"Mei? Are you following me?" Yuzu asked and looked down on what am I holding which is her bag. "I see, come in,"
I went inside of Grandfather's mansion and it was huge. Everything was so fancy, I continue to admire the scene.
"Just came in here to admire grandpa's incredible mansion?"
"Of course not," Although it was a fascinating site.
Later, we were in her room and Yuzu put her bag on top of the table.
"Thank you for bringing it back!" She grinned
I said nothing after that.
"...Let me guess, you came here for because you want me to come back?" She raised one eyebrow. "Look, I get that you want me to come back bu-"
"That expression... the kiss, being used, your dream... what do they all mean?" I interrupted. "You don't seem to show it to other people," Yuzu eyes widen a bit and then she scoffs.
"I don't get why you care, it's barely a month that we've known each other,"
"We're family that's why-" She clenches her fists and pushed me against the table, feeling a sharp pain to it. "Do you think excuses like that will get me to talk?!" She yelled as she pinned me down.
"Get off of me this instant!" I kicked her away and pushed her against the bed, but she holds onto my garments, revealing my bra and skin. She continues to hold me down and I tried to resist. Suddenly, I felt something felt dripping down to my skin. It was tears.
"I-I'm sorry..." she whimpered. "I'm here for you now..." I quietly told her.
"Yuzu! what are you doing this ti-" Grandfather opened the door and paused. He looked at both of us in disappointment. "Mei, for somebody who looks so modest and intelligent, doing things like these, I'm afraid that there might be a punishment for this, now go home,"
"You got yourself in trouble?!" Himeko slammed the table and yelled out.
"Quiet..." I warned.
"Heh sorry, but why?" She wondered.
"I talked to my stepsister and I got caught,"
"So it is true that you guys are related?"
"Yes,"
"Wow, Meimei! That means you're also a high power at our school too!"
"I don't feel like one," and it's better to stay that way.
"So what are you gonna tell your dad?" She asked.
"I don't know," I said with a frown. "I knew it was pointless to go so there anyway,"
"Now there there, I'm sure you tried your best, when you guys get used to each other, I'm sure your hate turns into sisterly love," Himeko does a have point. Love? I supposed since we're going to have to get along eventually. Is it sisterly love that I want from her?
"Thank you Himeko," I thanked her and got up. "I have something to be taken care of,"
"You always do!" The curly-haired girl whined. "But... I understand that you've been dealing with a lot of things, so I wish you good luck!"
"Grandfather we need to tal-" I was trying to barge in and I stopped as I saw Grandfather on the ground
"Gramps!" Yuzu shouted his name and the nurse shushed her "Shh... he's asleep," I was also in the room
"You see, there is this young lady who called you down here since you're his granddaughter which she handled it fantastically and she called an ambulance to inform us here," she explained. "It seemed like she knew that he was very important to you since she keeps insisting it," She caught her eye on me.
She looked at me with a nervous grin. "Hey um, can we talk?"
"What is it do you need?" I asked.
"I am grateful for you saving our grandfather," She thanked me.
"It's not really a big of a deal, anybody could do it," I admired the outside of the night and also talking with her.
"Y'know what I just realized?" Yuzu gazed up at the sky, looking at the stars. "You never really called me by my first name, haven't you?" It's true, I never really call her by her first name. "It would be nice if we saw each other's names other than Onee-chan or something,"
"Okay Yuzu..." I said sheepishly.
"See? Not that hard!" Yuzu beamed. "I think I should stay here just for the night with Gramps,"
"I'll head home then,"
"Before you go, one more thing," Yuzu turned around. "Tell our dad not to worry, I'll be home tomorrow!" She waves to me goodbye as I leave the hospital.
I arrived at home and my father was preparing for dinner.
"I'm home, father," I said.
"Oh, thank goodness is Mr. Okogi alright?" He said in a worrisome voice.
"Yes he is, and Yuzu is with him right now,"
"Ah that's a good thing," He smiled and scratched his head. "I'm guessing nothing with Yuzu again huh?"
"Yuzu is coming back home," His jaw dropped and had a cheerful grin. "Aha! I knew it!" My father hugged me tightly. "Aren't you happy Mei?"
Happy... Is that what I should describe it?
"Hey Mei! Good morning!" Yuzu called out, waving at me.
"...We're going to check on grandfather, now." I commanded as I was walking to his room
"Jeez, he's fine, I know that," The blonde-haired girl said, catching up to me.
"Hello Grandfather," I greeted.
"Good morning Mei," He greeted as well. "They told me you're the one who found me lying on the ground, that is true right?"
I nodded.
"I appreciate that," he thanked me. Will he still give me a punishment?
"Grandfather I-"
"I was thinking," He interrupted. "The punishment I will do for you is no longer the case," His words took right out of my mouth.
"Yuzu told me everything about what really happened," he explains. "As an educator and a Grandfather, my pride got the better of me and staying at this hospital has given me a chance to review my shortcomings," His head faces toward Yuzu now.
"Yuzu, I see making you into my successor is pretty forceful, after your mother left, I left the responsibilities from her to you and being so young to have it so much is stressful," He stated. "You should do, want you to want to do, don't worry about,"
"Grandpa..." Yuzu murmured.
"Got it?"
"Yes,"
"Wow Mei, that went pretty well don't you think?" She smiled.
"Do you always have to smile?" I muttered.
"Life is an asshole, might as well enjoy peaceful moments like this before it fucks you right up again," I slightly smiled at her words.
"Indeed,"
Everything has pretty much gone to normal. Father came and hugged Yuzu in tears, Yuzu is now more energetic again, I returned to school with no suspensions.
"Hey Mei! Guess what?" My father teased.
"What," I said.
"You and Yuzu are going to have double beds, so will you lend me a hand?" He requested.
"Of course," I helped my dad unpacking the boxes and getting the bed's parts. By looking at the instructions, we were able to get it done quickly.
"Great, now let's go throw this away," He said. Just after we were about to throw away the styrofoam, Yuzu opened the door.
"Hey I'm home," Yuzu said as she looks at both in confusion. "Uhhh... what's with the bags?"
"We were trying to set up the bed, but you weren't there!" Father complained.
"Hehe sorry, I was too busy at student council, I wish I could've helped 'tho,"
He then shows Yuzu the double beds. "Ta-da!"
"Oh wow! Finally something comfortable to sleep on!" Yuzu looked around the bed.
"..." I said nothing but to just stare off at the double bed, having now to share heat with her.
"Well, it's time for us to eat, Let's go!" Father announced.
After dinner, I took a shower and relaxed myself a bit. This is not gonna work out.
"Yuzu, the bath is ready," I said, coming out of the shower.
"Alright, I'll be there just in a sec!" Yuzu shouted, rushing to the bathroom. What is that about?
I came inside of the room and used my towel to dry my hair. First thing I saw was a pile of books scattered around. Can she not? I picked up a few books so I can stack them on the bookshelves, having to clean up after her. One book caught my attention.
"Peach sisters...?" I mumbled. I looked inside of the book, I randomly turned one of the pages and saw an ecchi scene of the book. She reads these kinds of stuff? My face lightens up as I read one page to another.
"Hey Mei whatcha doi-" I got alarmed by her and then out of adrenaline, I threw a book at her face.
"Hmmph?!" She mumbled. She took the book away from her face and saw me panting. She looked at the book where I was reading on. Her eyes widen and then she giggled.
"You think I'm into these kinds of things?!" Yuzu chuckled. "I was surprised by it too, I didn't think it was an erotica,"
"You didn't even take a peek inside of it before buying it?!" I started shouting at her.
"It was a Yuri, I don't complain," she said.
"Between sisters?"
"Why not? After all, we're kind of like that too," She came closer to me. "Or at least that's how you feel,"
"I don't feel anything to you," I commented. Yuzu then grasps on one of the cheeks and came close to my ear.
"We both know that's a damn lie," She whispered and I started flinching. My ears were very sensitive so I was easily flustered.
"If I were to have feelings for you, why are you doing this? Just kissing me out of nowhere?!" I asked harshly.
"Because…" She came close to my face, almost like our lips were touching "It's fun to play around with you," I became angry. I slapped her hand away from my face.
"Don't go playing around with people's feelings like that!" I shouted.
"Well, you could say I am the worst," she said, glaring at me and then laid down on our bed. "Goodnight," I didn't say anything but giving her angry mutters.
"Meimei, the school should be closing any minute!" Himeko hurries.
"Okay, hold up," I said organizing my things back to my bag. Then, there is something missing in my bag, my student ID. Did I leave it in the hallway? "Himeko, go right ahead, I need to find something,"
"Eh?" The curly-haired girl questioned. "Surely I can just help you right?!"
"I don't want to hold you back," I stated. "Besides, the admin here will get mad if we stay here any longer," Himeko wanted to protest but lets go of the situation.
"Alright I understand, take care," Himeko slowly walks out the classroom and waved goodbye. After she left, I decided to look around for my ID. Checking the classrooms, it wasn't there, Checking the hallways, it wasn't there either. Damn it where could it be.
"Hey!" A voice yelled out and I stopped. My body was trembling, I'm not supposed to be in this school so late. Footsteps came closer and louder but I didn't look behind me. I tripped and fell, trying to get back up, there was no noise anymore, I turned around. It was Yuzu.
"You're still here?" She wondered. "I thought you were at home, but I guess not,"
"I was looking for my student ID," I said and Yuzu began to kneel down.
"Oh?" She puts her hand behind her back. "This ID?" She reveals the ID in front of me.
"Yes, it is," I snatched my ID back. I put it back in my bag. Yuzu was still staring at me.
"What?"
"Oh nothing," She replied with a smirk. There is that devilish expression again. Does she act like this with other people or is it just me? "About yesterday, I'm for my actions Mei, I guess I didn't realize the lack of empathy that I had for you," She's actually apologizing? My heartbeat suddenly races. "How about we just forget about every little sexual thing I have done to you and move on? I know that sounds like a bad way to say it, but I'm trying to redeem mys-"
I pushed her against the wall before she could finish her sentence. I grabbed her cheeks and put my lips against hers. We both moaned at the sensation from each kiss made, both of our hearts in sync. Finally, our lips parted away.
"We're still in school Mei! What if somebody saw us!" She whispered but yet in a loud harsh tone. My body started to trembles as tears formed in my eyes and it drips down from my face to Yuzu's bare skin and I let go of Yuzu.
"I-It's because of you... you idiot," I sobbed. Yuzu's anger turns into pity.
Meanwhile...
Vice President Harumi was inspecting the school to make sure nobody was in it.
"Ugh.. this is so boring, why did I join student council again?!" She complained. "Huh?" She notices somebody is whining around where she is.
"Meimei never has time for me and it's not fair!" The voice shouts as she hits her fists against a tree from outside of the school. Harumi stared at the scene in pure confusion.
"Should I go over there or…?" She thought to herself. Harumi looks around to see if anybody is around her. She was just talking to herself. Harumi decided to go up close.
"Uhh… are you okay?" Harumi asked and the curly-haired girl jumps out of fear. Harumi took a good look at the girl before realizing it was Momokino Himeko. "Oh, I recognize ya! I've seen you before in the hallways with Yuzu's stepsister!"
"Umm, how much did you hear?" Himeko asked.
"Enough to say kinda weird, especially you're still on school grounds," Harumi replied.
"S-Sorry I got angry," Himeko stuttered. "I'm going now," She then, dashes away. Harumi tilted her head like a dog and just shrugged it off.
"Weird,"
Harumi went back to the building to find Yuzu, but as soon as she went into the council room, she isn't there. "Hmm… that's strange, we're supposed to discuss our plans," She got out of the room and continued her search.
I began speed walking, not caring who sees me and tried to exit the building.
"Okogi Mei-san, you're still here on school grounds?" Harumi came in front of me. My eyes were still watery and pretty red. I didn't look up and avoided eye contact.
"Hey-"
"Just let her go," Yuzu interrupted. Harumi turned around, to me and then back to Yuzu.
"If that's what you think it's okay Yuzuchi," Harumi commented. "What happened to her anyway?"
Yuzu sighed. "Nothing that will be your concern Harumin," She walks back to the council room and then looks back at Harumi with a smile. "Now, let's discuss our plans this weekend!"
