Ogasawara Sachiko looked tenderly down at the sleeping form in the bed next to her. 'You're so beautiful, Yumi.' The raven haired beauty thought. She leaned over and kissed the top of the brown-haired girls head. "I love you." she whispered.
Sachiko leaned back against the headboard, and smiled reminiscing on the first time the two of them were intimate.
**** FLASHBACK ****
After the graduation party broke up, Sachiko realized that she didn't want to be parted from Yumi just yet. As they were walking down the path to the school gates, she turned to the younger girl and asked. "Yumi, would you like to spend the night over my house?"
"Yumi looked up at the older girl, smiling excitedly. "You mean it, onee-sama. I would love to," she answered as she wrapped her arms around Sachiko and leaned into her.
"We need to continue our discussion from earlier." Sachiko stated, blushing, thinking about Yumi's confession and the ensuing kiss. 'She makes me feel so alive,' she thought smiling to herself.
The two girls finally reached the black sedan that would take them to the Ogasawara residence. Once at the mansion they went inside. After greeting Sachiko's mom Sayako, the older girl led Yumi up to her bedroom. The room was as palatial as the President's suite in any five-star hotel. There was a sitting area in the middle of the room, and elegant four-poster bed in the corner, and an antique writing desk along the wall. Sachiko offered Yumi a seat on the sofa and said. "Let me get you something comfortable to wear to bed tonight." and went over to the walk in closet.
Yumi sat down on the couch, and tried to relax; however the fact that she was in her onee-sama's room wouldn't let her, so she just sat up straight and waited. Soon, Sachiko came back, wearing a set a blue pajamas and handed a pile of clothes to Yumi. "I think these will fit. Go on and change, the bathroom is right over there." Sachiko said and pointed to a door to Yumi's left. Yumi took the clothes and went to get changed.
Sachiko waited and paced nervously. A few minutes later Yumi exited the bathroom. Sachiko looked the younger girl over. "They look good on you." She said.
Sachiko sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to her. "Come, sit. Let's talk." Yumi walked over and sat down where her onee-sama indicated. The older girl notices Yumi's nervousness, takes the younger girl's hand, and says, "I'm glad you feel the same way I do. I've been agonizing over it for a while now. I wondered if you would think me disgusting and reject me. I was quite relieved when you confessed, Yumi."
The brown-haired girl blushed at the endearment. "I was worried also, and I am so happy you feel the same way. Does this make us 'Girlfriends'" she asked.
Sachiko blushed. "I guess so," she answered giggling.
Yumi leaned into the older girl and stole a quick kiss, "I love you," she stated.
Sachiko wrapped Yumi in her arms and replied. "I love you to, my Yumi. I want to share my life with you." The black-haired beauty pulled Yumi's face to hers and slowly kissed the younger girl. Yumi responded passionately and pulled the older girl closer to her. The two girls kissed for a long time, separating only to breathe. They ran their hands and lips all over each other, sighing and moaning their expressions of passion. Nervously and awkwardly, they undressed each other and made mad, passionate love to each other, calling out each others name at he heights of their ecstasy.
Afterward they lay curled up together on the sofa. "What are your plans now, after graduation Yumi?" Sachiko asked.
"I think I will major in teaching at Lillian University. I have also just decided to try and complete my degree in three years, so we can graduate together. What do you think?" Yumi asked.
Sachiko replied, "I think it will be a lot of work, but I have faith that you will do it."
"Thank you onee-sama." Yumi said smiling.
"Why don't you call me Sachiko from now on. I like how you say my name." Sachiko stated.
"Thank you Sa-chi-ko." Yumi giggled as she fell asleep curled up next to the love of her life.
**** END FLASHBACK ****
Sachiko's thoughts we broken by movement next to her. Yumi had turned and wrapped her arm around Sachiko's middle. Sachiko gazed down at the girl snoozing next to her, and thought of their last three years together. Between their schedules, there wasn't much free time, but they filled it with dates, picnics and sleepovers. The raven-haired beauty smiled thinking of all the good times she and Yumi shared. Unfortunately, after the wedding, their time together would be further curtailed. Sachiko's smile faded.
"What's wrong Sachiko?" the older girl heard and looked down ant the cute sleepy-eyed girl lounging next to her.
"Nothing, Yumi." she replied as she ran her fingers through her lover's hair. "I was just thinking."
"You were thinking about the wedding again, weren't you?" Yumi asked as she sat up and embraced the older girl beside her.
"You guessed it. I get sad thinking about marrying Suguru. I will be very lonely in that marriage. I don't know what I'll do." Sachiko said her eyes clouded and watery.
"Why don't you tell your parents to cancel it?" Yumi suggested.
"I couldn't." Sachiko replied, "This is all part of the family 'master plan' that keeps us wealthy and in power. They'd disown me if I didn't follow through with this sham."
"Would it be so bad, Sachiko." Yumi sighed. "Khaori-sensei already offered me a teaching position at Lillian. We can talk to Yumiko-san and see if she has any apartments free, so we can live there together, on our own."
"I think I could handle not being an Ogasawara, but you don't understand the power our clan holds. What would you do if your father lost his job, and couldn't get another. Or what if Yukki was kicked out of college and couldn't get a degree. I don't know what I'd do if you got hit and killed by a runaway black sedan. My family doesn't like to lose." Sachiko finished paling.
"Uncle Tooru and Aunt Sayako would do that?" Yumi exclaimed.
"They wouldn't, " Sachiko stated, "But my grandfather would."
Yumi stayed silent, pondering the implication of Sachiko's words. Her fear must have shown on her face, since Sachiko continued. "I will do what I can, not to let that happen. And right now that means marrying Suguru. Get some clothes on Yumi, let's go down and have breakfast." Sachiko finished.
Both the ladies dressed and got ready to leave the bedroom, when Sachiko turned to Yumi and said excitedly, "I think I have and idea as to how we can stay together, even after I marry."
Yumi looked at the older girl skeptically. "How Sachiko?"
The taller girl went on. "What if I hire you as my personal assistant. That way you can live with us. I can even give you a room next to mine. That way we can be together all the time. What do you think Yumi? I pay very well." Sachiko joked.
Yumi turned to her lover, fire smoldering behind her eyes as she responded to the offer. "What kind of person do you think I am Sachiko. I love you with all my heart, but I do have my pride. And that pride will not allow me to become a whore, not even for you." She yelled as she threw open the door and stormed out.
Sachiko just stood there stunned from the shock of the realization of how much she hurt the most important person in her life. She fell down to the ground, covering her face with her hands, as the tears streamed down her face.
