Chapter 2

An Unbelievable Realization

By the next morning, Miyuki heads out of the house again to get to school. However, when she steps foot out of the house, she sees a little orange kitten out on the sidewalk in front of a white fence, licking itself. She smiles at the cute kitten as she walks towards it and leans down.

"Hey, there, Little Kitty~" she coos. She notices a collar around its neck, which means it belongs to someone. "What are you doing out here?" She gently picks the kitten up and the cat meows softly in response, making Miyuki giggle.

"Excuse me," a woman's voice says.

"Hm?" She turns around to see a beautiful woman with fluffy orange hair and wearing a yellow leopard printed dress. Sh-she….she can't be the same woman as…

"Thanks for finding my cat," she says.

"O-oh, you're welcome," Miyuki gently hands her the kitten and turns to leave. "I'm glad I could help. I-I'll see you later."

"See you later, cutie~!" the woman waves at her. "Maybe we'll meet each other again later today for some tea and a chat~!"

"N-no thank you!" Miyuki stutters as she begins to walk faster and faster. Goodness, what was that about!? And who was she!? I didn't know she was my next door neighbor. Maybe the other neighbors moved and I didn't even notice until now. She keeps on walking as she thinks about the woman a few minutes ago. She…is a nice person, but what are the chances of her jumping on me, wanting to get to "know me better"? Just like…her as Cheshire Cat. The thought runs through her mind like a river flowing the whole time she walks to school.


Upon entering the school, she stops while taking a few deep breathes. She had been fast-walking the whole way that she didn't even think about stopping to catch her breath. She leans down with her hands on her knees to support her from falling over when someone approaches her. She looks up and sees none other than Hiro Fujisaki himself.

H-Hiro-kun! she thinks.

"Are you alright?" he asks.

Miyuki immediately straightens herself and laughs nervously. "O-oh! Yes, I'm fine! Haha!"

Hiro smiles and pats her head. "Were you running all the way to school? You know, it's still a bit early."

"Oh, um…" Her eyes avert back and forth for an excuse but found none. Hiro just chuckles.

"It's fine, don't worry," he says as he lets go and turns around. "Well, I'll see you around. What's your name, by the way?"

"I-I'm Miyuki. Miyuki Hanasaki," the brunette replies.

"A very nice name for a cute girl," he says. "My name is Hiro Fujisaki. Bye." He walks away with a smile on his face.

As he is out of sight, Miyuki just wanted to squeal with joy. She successfully has spoken to Hiro without any problem. And best of all, he had spoken to her. She doesn't know why, but she's happy. Though there's one thing wrong…

"My heart wasn't beating," she says to herself. "Why?"

Before she can say anything else, someone jumps on her with arms wrapped around her, making Miyuki jump.

"SURPRISE!" Tomiko says, happily.

"WAH! T-Tomiko-san!?"

The blonde giggles as she pulls away. "Please. Call me Tomiko~! We're friends now, remember?"

"F-friends?" Come to think of it, when did she decide on that? Miyuki thinks to herself.

"Mm-hmm~! Or did you forget when we first met?"

"I-I didn't think we'd become friends that easily," Miyuki says.

The blonde giggles again as she slaps her on the back. "You're so funny, Miyuki-chan~! From the very moment I saw you, I knew right away that you would be a great friend. After all, you're so cute I couldn't resist looking at you~!" She gives the brunette a big hug, squishing Miyuki's face into her big breasts.

Sh-she's doing it again! she thinks.

"T-Tomiko!" Her screams are muffled from her chest while she waves her arms wildly. "You're…crushing me…again!"

"Hehehe~! Ohhh, you're just so adorable I can't let go!" The happy blonde says as she spins Miyuki around 360 degrees.

The brunette screams with the blonde laughing happily.

"Oh, you're so much fun, Miyuki-chaaaan~!"

"STOOOOOOP, PLEAAAASE!"

Thankfully, Tomiko stops as she laughs a bit more and lets go of the girl. She giggles at the sight of Miyuki having swirls in her eyes from being dizzy.

"Now then, to cut to the chase, you were talking with Hiro-kun, right?" Tomiko asks.

"Yes," Miyuki replies. "He just approached me and started talking to me. I was so happy that I finally talked to him, but…I couldn't think of anything else to talk about." She left out her heart not beating part on purpose.

"Aw~! But there's always a next time, right?"

"I guess…"

Tomiko takes notice of Miyuki's discouraged look and immediately gives her a big hug again.

"Oh, come on! Put a smile on your face, girl~!" she says.

"Not when you're crushing me…!" Miyuki shouts while flailing her arms wildly again.

Tomiko removes herself from her embrace. "You'll have your chance with Hiro-kun soon." She winks at her. "Besides, what better opportunity for you and him to go alone together than the courtyard?"

"The courtyard?" Miyuki asks.

"Sure thing! Follow me!" Tomiko takes the brunette's hand and both of them run towards the middle of the school. When they arrive there, Miyuki sees a beautiful fountain with red roses around it and a bench in front of the fountain.

The blonde beckons Miyuki to come towards the bench and sit together.

"I heard from most girls that they call this 'The Fountain of Love'."

"The Fountain of Love?" Miyuki repeats.

"Yes~!" Tomiko replies with sparkles in her eyes. "The girls were talking to me earlier about this place and they said it was the most romantic place they could find to spend their time with their loved ones~! Ohhhh, how nice it would be to spend it with mine one day!" She gently takes Miyuki's hand and stares into her eyes lovingly. "Or…how about we should get used to this place a little and enjoy our time together as best friends~?"

Miyuki blushes at this. "B-but you said this place is for couples?"

"Yes, but anyone can go there, too," Tomiko says. "They also say there's two beautiful girls who do the gardening everyday, including this courtyard, which is why those roses are blooming so wonderfully."

"Two…beautiful girls?"

"Mm-hmm~! I can't recall their names, but the girls told me that they are a lesbian couple," Tomiko explains. "They are always fawning over each other and kissing in the green house while watering the plants."

Miyuki stares at Tomiko for a moment while trying to recall who those girls were. Always…fawning over each other… she thinks to herself. Watering the plants…Ah! I got it!

"I think I know who they are!" Miyuki exclaims.

"You do?" Tomiko asks with a surprised look on her face.

"Yes. Their names are Sumire and Yuri. I kinda bumped into them yesterday."

"Really~? Well, I wanna meet them sometime. Be sure to introduce me to them, okay?"

"I promise."

There is a few minutes of silence while the girls were enjoying their time near the fountain when Tomiko speaks up again.

"Say, Miyuki-chan," she says as she scoots a bit closer to her. "If you ever get together with Hiro-kun, want to learn how to properly kiss?"

Miyuki blushes hard. "Wh-what do you mean?"

Tomiko just smiles as she scoots closer and closer to her until their shoulders touch. "I can teach you a thing or two. Just stay still for a bit." Her voice goes soft as she lifts her hand to touch Miyuki's cheek. "I can teach you right now~"

"T-Tomiko-chan…" The brunette stutters as she tries to back away, but Tomiko holding her hand prevents her to. The blonde wraps an arm around Miyuki, pulling her closer while she uses her other hand to tip the brunette's chin.

"You do it like this," she whispers. "And then, go for the goal."

"Th-the goal?"

"You know what I mean, Miyuki-chan~"

Miyuki blushes furiously as the blonde starts to lean in. Her heart beats rapidly from the blonde's touch. I can't move, she thinks to herself. I don't know how to get away. It's like I'm under hypnosis from this girl. But…why is my heart beating when I'm around her? I don't get it. Tomiko's lips are an inch away from Miyuki's when the brunette's eyes widen. I've got to act fast before I get too carried away!

"U-um, you know what?" Miyuki says as she gently pushes Tomiko away. "I think that's far enough. You've taught me well, Tomiko-chan. Thank you very much! N-now, we should head to class before we're late."

"Ahhh…Miyuki-chan!" Tomiko reaches her hand out towards the brunette, but Miyuki is already on the run. The blonde lowers her hand and touches her lips. A small smile creeps across her face. "Heh…you sure can play hard to get sometimes."

Meanwhile, Miyuki is running in the halls until she stops to catch her breath. Clutch the school bag to her chest, she looks back to see if her friend is catching up to her. Thankfully she didn't, but she will if she doesn't hurry up. She can feel her heart still beating from what Tomiko was about to do to her.

"Wh-what was that!?" she pants. "I-I mean, it was only practice. But…but she looked like she really wanted to do it. And why did my heart beat during that time? Was because of embarrassment? Or was it nervousness?" Whatever it was, Tomiko's attempt to kiss her flashes through her mind over and over. Miyuki lifts her hand to touch her lips. "I wonder what her lips might have felt like…AH! Wh-wh-what am I saying!? I…I don't feel that way! No! There's no way that could happen!" She starts running blindly until she bumps into someone, knocking both of them to the floor.

"Ouch…" Miyuki groans as she gets up to see who she ran into. There is a girl with short red hair with the same uniform as her with stripped yellow and purple thigh high socks. Her eyes widen at the familiar sight. "Miss Butterfly…" she mutters.

"Hm?" the girl tilts her head in confusion.

"Ah! N-nothing!" Miyuki exclaims as she quickly stands up and offers her hand. "A-are you alright?"

"Yes," the girl replies. "I'm fine."

She sounds very quiet, Miyuki thinks to herself as she helps the girl up. And this girl can understand me, unlike her as Miss Butterfly back in Mirror Land. She's also…very beautiful.

"That's good," she says.

The short red-haired girl looks up at Miyuki with her big red eyes. The brunette blushes furiously from her staring until she hears Tomiko calling for her down the entrance.

"Miyuki-chaaaan~?"

Oh, great! Miyuki turns back towards the girl and gives her a quick wave. "I gotta go! See you!" She sprints down the hall with Tomiko close behind her.

Luckily she makes it to the classroom and sits down at the desk, but unfortunately, Tomiko hugs her behind her anyways and leans close towards the brunette.

"You may have escaped me, Miyuki-chan~" she says seductively. "But I will always find a way to win. Here's your punishment." She kisses Miyuki on the cheek, making the brunette blush even harder than earlier. Tomiko pulls away, giggling. "Now that's out of the way, you've learned your first lesson on kissing~!" She gives Miyuki a wink and sits down at her own desk.

Miyuki, however, couldn't even move a muscle. Tomiko just…kissed me! She kissed me! Oh, my goodness! My heart's beating a million miles an hour now! But…why? Why is it that when I'm around girls, my heart starts to race?

Class starts a minute later with Yumiko coming in a second after the bell rang. Miyuki is unable to pay attention the whole time.


At lunch, Miyuki sighs as Tomiko puts a hand on her shoulder.

"Miyuki-chan~" she says. "Wanna eat lunch with me?"

"Sure."

The two sit across from each other with both desks facing each other. However, Miyuki isn't in the mood to eat just yet and Tomiko takes notice.

"What's the matter?" she asks. "Not hungry?"

"I…I have some things on my mind right now," Miyuki replies. "But…I can't figure out what it is yet."

"What sort of things was on your mind?" Tomiko asks.

The brunette hesitates for a moment. She wants to tell her friend about the strange dreams she had about girls. But…what will she think when Miyuki tells her? Will she think she's crazy? Or will she think something else?

"It's…about dreams," Miyuki says.

"Dreams?"

"Y-yes."

Tomiko raises an eyebrow. "Miyuki-chan…are you trying to hide something?"

The brunette jumps at this and waves her arms back and forth. "Ah! N-no! It's just…kind of hard to explain." It's not totally a lie, but she's being honest.

Tomiko is still confused. "Okay, but what about those dreams that your having is bothering you?"

Miyuki takes a few deep breaths and beings her tale. "My dreams…my dreams are about girls. Only girls. Every time I think something is fine, it doesn't and I'm transported to a weird world full of girls. First, I was transported to Wonderland, where I was late for school and I met this bunny girl and I fell into a hole. And then…I met the doorway girl. In other words…you."

"M-Me!?" Tomiko gasps.

Miyuki nods. "You were in my dream as the doorway girl and had me use your breasts as knobs to enter." She blushes from embarrassment as she says this.

Tomiko tilts her head a little and then bursts into laughter. Miyuki gets angry and slams her hand on the table to get her attention.

"It's not funny! There's a lot more to the story!" she shouts.

"Haha! Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that you crack me up when you told me I was in your dream," Tomiko says. "Go on."

"Okay. So, as I was saying, after I entered Wonderland, I met more and more girls until I approached the Queen of Hearts, which is our teacher."

"Whoa! Ayane-sensei was the Queen of Hearts!?"

Miyuki sighs heavily. "Though, she wasn't as nice as she is the real world. She chased me around with her whip until she caught me. I thought I was a goner when all of a sudden, I was back home. I thought everything got back to normal when the cycle repeated itself. I don't know why, but it just…happened."

Tomiko nods. "I see. And you said you are in different worlds every time you dream. What other worlds did you get transported to?"

"Mirror Land, Video Game Land, my part time job that got turned into a wrestling ring, TV Land , Majoongg Land, and finally, X Land, where I went to the movies and got transported there."

Tomiko is stunned by this. "Woooow. And all of those worlds contained…girls?"

"Yes…" Miyuki hands her head down. She is glad to get it off her chest, but is afraid how her friend might react to all of this. "I know it's crazy, but that's what I wanted to tell you."

Tomiko grins and lets out a giggle. "Well, Miyuki-chan. From what you've told me, it seems like your dreams containing only girls means something. Something very important."

"Something…important?"

"When was the last time your heart started racing around Hiro-kun?"

"Never. Not one bit when I talked to him." Miyuki jumps at this. "Wait, how did you know about it?"

"I never saw you blush, even when you're talking about him," Tomiko explains. "Therefore, when you're with me or any other girl you've met, I can see your face turn red every time. And that must have been when you're dreaming about girls being all over you." She walks over, wraps an arm around her friend and smiles. "So, that makes one thing clear: you like girls!"

Miyuki gasps as she jumps back, almost to the point of falling off her chair. "Wh-wh-wh-what did you say!?"

"You like girls~! That's simple, right?" Tomiko repeats.

Miyuki blushes hard at those three words: "You like girls" Her heart beats a million miles an hour as she eyes Tomiko, who is smiling at her. She turns back towards the desk and puts her hands on her cheeks. N-n-n-n-no! No! No, there is no way that would happen! she thinks to herself. All I wanted was a boyfriend! Why would I like girls in the first place!? And then, something hit her. She recalls questioning herself as she gets transported to different worlds, "Why do those things always happen to me?" Those dreams aren't even with one guy nor the guy she admired the most, Hiro Fujisaki. Back during the time she was transported to Mirror Land, she dreamed of only girls. And not one guy was in it. Which makes Miyuki realize what Tomiko is telling her.

I…I like…girls?
