The bright lights of the clock indicated the time 6:55 am, it was the only indication of movement in the room, everything else laid still enjoying the peaceful silence that reigned in the room. Gentle rays of the sun peeked from behind the lavender colored curtains yet it did not seem to create any disturbance in this medium sized space. Looking at the bed you can make out a figure laying still, it is difficult to know the gender of the figure because of the puffy sheets but we can assume that the figure is female, aside from the occasional rise and fall of the figure's chest there was nothing that deemed as a disturbance well… not yet anyway.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

The peaceful silence was broken. Replaced instead by the annoying sound of repetitive beeping, the figure, once still now stirred in her slumber trying desperately to drown out the annoying sound and return to her peaceful dreams. A hand poked from under the orage colored comforter and tried to grab the offending object. Once captured, the object continued to carry out its loud cries despite the impending doom that was to befall unto it. With a strong throw the offending object made contact with the blue colored walls, forever ending its sad mechanical life, never to be heard from ever again. The figure laid still once more and temporary silence reigned until the hard knocks of fists on wood forced the silence out. The door was opened revealing a young man with brown colored locks, yes this was the end of the peaceful slumber of the figure under the covers. Because the knight was here, it was time to wake the dragon and rid himself of this tiring task that the king and queen had given him, at least until night comes again.

Chapter 2: It's been a while

By: shurei904

"Yumi! Wake up it's morning" The young man said trying to pry the covers off his sister

"Argh! 5 more minutes Yuuki" Came the muffled voice ofthe girl under the covers clung to the sheet unwilling to let go.

"Yumi! If you don't get up were going to be late!" The young man known as Yuuki said with annoyance in his voice. There was no response from the young girl under the covers, Yuuki sighed, sometimes his sister was a pain.

"There's no helping it." Yuuki quietly moved a part of the comforter. 'One, two, three' Yuuki took in a big gulp of air.

"YUMI! WAKE UP!"

Yumi shot out from the bed, cringing from the loud sound, her ears feeling like it's been blown out of her system.

"Good, you're finally awake." Yuuki grinned satisfied at his sister's reaction

"MOU! Yuuki you didn't have to go that far." Yumi whined

"Well you should learn to wake up early,..though I have to admit it's fun teasing you" Yuuki laughed, Yumi just stuck her tongue out

" Just get out I'll be down in 5" Yumi said with great annoyance.

" Yeah ,sure just don't sleep again." Yuuki stated as a matter of factly.

Yumi sighed " I won't"

Sometimes Yuuki knew Yumi too well. Yumi got up, did her bed, took a shower and got dressed. Yumi opened her curtains to let the sunlight in, it was a nice warm sunny day the perfect day to turn Yumi's mood up.

'The perfect day to spend time with Onee-sama[1].'

Yumi blushed a full shade of red and immediately shook her head. She sighed and looked at the picture Tsutako had taken a couple of months ago, she smiled at the memory.

"Yosh! Time to go". A few minutes later Yumi arrived at the bus stop just in time to see the bus come to halt, Yumi took her seat at the middle, when the bus started to move Yumi looked out the window to pass time and admire the view. After a few minutes the bus stopped and Yumi started her trek to school.

~Lilian Girls meet Seiran Academy~

"Yumi-chan!" Yumi turned around and saw Takeshima Tsutako waving at her.

"Ah! Gokigenyo Tsutako-san" Yumi greeted her with a smile,

Tsutako smiled and did the same "Gokigenyo, Yumi-chan"

"So.. Yumi" Tsutako started with a hint of mischievousness in her eyes.

"Nani yo[2],Tsutako-san?"

" How is it like being Rosa Chinensis et Bouton's Petit Souer ?" Tsutako asked

"Everything's been fine so far, I find it quite enjoyable actually. But, you know the other day Sei-sama and I were fooling around when I noticed Onee-sama looked very annoyed, I didn't know why and it didn't help that Sei-sama had this knowing grin plastered on her face. Now, Onee-sama gets really mad at Sei-sama every time she talks to me."Yumi said, rather concerned.

Tsutako grinned at Yumi, the poor girl was too dense for her own good." Yumi don't you think Sachiko-sama is, I don't know jealous."

Yumi looked at Tsutako with a shocked expression 'Three, Two, One'

"Tsutako-san! W-w-w-w-what made you say t-t-that- I mean" Yumi was throwing her hands in all direction with a blush on her face. Tsutako laughed heartily and decided to spare Yumi from the embarrassment this time.

"Hahaha, I was joking Yumi geez," Yumi now Had a full body blush which could mistake her for a tomato.

"Mou! Tsutako-san" Yumi said making a very cute puppy dog face. They continued chatting about other things until they reached the statue of Maria-sama. In Lilian, it is part of their tradition to stand and pray in front of the statue of Maria-sama to show their devotion. Everyone is expected to be proper and lady like following the example of Maria-sama. After praying, Yumi and Tsutako continued to walk to class.

"Ah! I forgot Gomen[2] Tsutako-san I have to go we have a meeting at the Rose mansion." Yumi said bowing apologetically

"Daijobu, daijobu[3], ja ne[4] I'll see you in class."Tsutako said with a smile and left.

~Lilian Girls meet Seiran Academy~

Yumi reached the Rose mansion with time to spare, her hazel eyes met with stormy blue grey ones, both giving each other a gentle smile. They both entered the rose mansion and went to the meeting room

"Ne.. Shimako-san, do you know why the roses asked for a meeting?" Yumi asked, the girl known as Toudou Shimako just shook her head

" I don't know, though they usually tell us before hand." Shimako herself pondered about it for a moment.

"I guess we'll know after we get in." Yumi said, Shimako nodded and proceeded to knock on the door. They each greeted everyone in the room, until yumi noticed that Rosa Gigantea was not yet there

'hmmm I wonder where Rosa Gigatea' her thoughts where cut of when the subject of her thoughts grabbed her for a surprise hug.

"Ohayoo! Y-u-m-i-chan" Sei said with the ever present Satou Sei grin.

"Rosa Gigantea!" Yumi angrily or tried to angrily yell at the older rose.

"Yumi-chan's angry face is cute too." Everyone in the room just sighed and smiled when things like this happen every time you learn to laugh at it, all but one who was silently glaring and stabbing the older rose, if glares could kill the older rose would have been dead the minute she walked into the room. Ogasawara Sachiko hated it when Rosa Gigantea acted more of an older sister to Yumi than her, every time Yumi shares secrets to the older rose, every time the rose could cheer Yumi up instead of her, For Pete's sake she was Yumi's one-sama not Sei and she did not like Sei getting near her Yumi not even for a second. After a few minutes of silent stabbing err glaring Sachiko finally snapped. Everyone turned their attention to Sachiko who stood up from her seat, all of them except Sei who decided to ignore her

"Rosa Gigantea. I appreciate. It. If. You. LET. GO. OF. MY. Petit Souer. You are not doing us a favor by continuing your displeasing antics and may I remind you that your tardiness is the reason why we have not yet started this meeting." Her voice was cold, poisonous, venomous, deadly and all other adjectives appropriate for this life or death situation. Yumi felt the ominous presence coming from her Onee-sama, worried that she might really kill the older rose.

Sei, still unafraid of Sachiko's threat let go, mainly because she felt Yohko glare at her behind closed eyelids.

"Yes ma'am! Oh, and just so you know Sa-chan I'm not late yet." She faked a salute, smirked and went to her seat. Yumi, Shimako and Sachiko proceeded to take their seats. Yohko sighed "well let's start the meeting shall we" the meeting started with Sachiko still throwing glares at Sei.

"Well now to discuss the main reason for this meeting, the school head has decided that our school, will go on a school visit to establish more partnerships with other schools. For the next two weeks we will be visiting Seiran academy an all girls school"

'Seiran? Why does that name sound so familiar'Yumi thought to herself.

"The school head decided that we, the Yamayurikai, will be going to Seiran tomorrow, however, due to the third years preparatory exams will be tomorrow so, we can't come. The date can no longer be moved because we have been informed that Seiran had already done preparations for our arrival. Thus, we have decided to send Yumi-chan as our representative for the time being, in front of you is a folder containing the general information abo-"Yohko was cut off by Sachiko who once again stood up and slammed her hand on the table.

"Onee-sama what do you mean only Yumi can go!" Sachiko said with a serious tone. Yohko sighed, she knew that this was going to happen sooner or later.

"Sachiko, as you had informed us earlier on, you have a meeting with your grandfather concerning serious family matters, Rei has to practice for the kendo tournament, Shimako has class duties tomorrow and Yoshino can't go unless she's with Rei." Yohko stated causing everyone to look at each other

"Also we can't be rude to the school they already prepared everything." Yohko stated, she was getting a little irritated by Sachiko's antics.

"Onee-sama, I will not allow my petit souer to go on her own and are you saying that this is more important than Yumi's safety." Sachiko said refusing to lose the debate. Sachiko and Yohko continued with the debate with others entering every now and then. Yumi looked at the information sheet, she only needed to get one look at the name to know who it was, her eyes widened at the name written in bold letters 'Senou Kei'

"Sachiko I am worried about Yumi's safety as much as you, but Seiran is an all girls school, I'm sure she'll be fine." Yohko said "Rosa chinensis is right Sachiko, there's nothing to worry about" Rei said, but Sachiko refused to give up. Yumi on the other hand felt like she was watching a pro tennis match, she sweat dropped it's better to speak now or else 'Here goes'

"Ano[5].. Onee-sama, you don't need to worry about me, I think I'll be just fine!." Yumi said nervously, trying to add some enthusiasm in her voice but was failing miserably because of the nervousness she was feeling.

"Yumi- chan do you know them?" Yoshino asked

"I don't know much, but they sound like nice people to me." Yumi said, she was uncertain about the familiar name written in the information sheet 'It could be any Senou Kei in Japan, I mean there are a lot of people with the same name right?'

"Sachiko, we should trust Yumi on this, she said she'll be fine" Sachiko knew she lost, but it's hard for her to put Yumi in an environment she barely knew. Sachiko sighed in defeat.

Yohko made a mental note to remember to thank Yumi later. " So it's agreed. Meeting adjourned."

Yumi was filled with relief to know that the meeting was finally over, she glanced around to catch a glimpse of her Onee-sama but, as unable to do so. Thinking back at how the meeting went she smiled lightly at a sudden thought.

'Onee-sama does care about me' Yumi thought, she smiled and went to class. The day passed by quickly and before Yumi knew it, it was time to go home.

"Yumi-chan!" The familiar voice of her friend snapped her out of her daze

"Ah! Tsutako-san" Yumi responded cheerfully

"How did the meeting go?" Tsutako asked.

Yumi just gave a sigh. "I'll take that as neither yes nor no." tsutako smiled awkwardly at her friend.

"Yumi want to go home together?"

"Yeah, sure". Yumi smiled With that they left the school.

"I'm home!" Yumi greeted while taking off her shoes

"Welcome home dear" A woman in her late 30s yelled from the kitchen. Yumi remembered the meeting earlier and wanted to ask her mother something but was cut off before she could speak.

"Ah! Yumi-chan, come in the kitchen I have a surprise for you!" Yumi, curious as to what her mother was talking about went into the kitchen. Her eyes went wide at the sight before her. A girl a little older than Yumi was standing beside the kitchen counter, her jet black hair flowed beautifully, her bangs framed her beautiful face and last but not least, hypnotizing ruby red eyes that were filled with warmth she remembered as a child.

'USO!USO!USO![6]'

Yumi's eyes widened her jaw dropped.

"It's been a while Yu-chan" the stranger said with a smile, revealing perfectly aligned teeth. The sound of her childhood nick name made her heart beat faster and the voice that said her name with such love made her want to cry for joy.

"O-O-ONEE-CHAN!" Yumi jumped and hugged her cousin whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Woah! easy there Yu-chan." Yumi's cousin used her right foot to support them so they wouldn't fall while awkwardly returning the sudden hug with a fongd smile on her face.

"KEI-NEE! I missed you "Yumi said, hugging the living daylights out of her dear cousin

"Yeah, I missed you too" Kei said, fondness laced in her voice. Yumi's mother just laughed at the sight presented before her.

"It has been a while since Kei-chan last came to visit, it's been 5 years I think." Kei scratched the back of her neck sheepishly. Yumi's mother had insisted he niece to stay for dinner Kei, to which Kei had agreed after a little persuasion. Afterwards, Fukuzawa Miki, shooed her both her daughter and her niece to their room to catch up.

"So Yumi how's school." Kei asked they were both on Yumi's bed sitting side by side

"It's been great! Though I should be the one to ask you that question, Kei-nee." Yumi pouted.

"To bad, I asked first so.." Kei laughed heartily and looked at Yumi seeing that she was dozing off, she quietly watched her as she fell asleep. Kei smiled "You must've been tired haven't you?" Kei carefully got up, tucked Yumi to bed, kissed her on the forehead and left.
