A/N: Not only did I start this at the last minute, I also had allergies at this last minute; but I did get another story idea out of this experience, so that's good...
Anyways, I have three ongoing weekly stories (A Delinquent's Love on FictionPress), so my hands can get quite full which may lead to an update coming late. This chapter was also a bit more difficult to write on the second part, along with the fact that I wasted some of my time with distractions.
The Next Day
"We're off!" Yuuko called out to their parents as she and Hideyoshi headed out of the house.
"Have a good day at school!" Their mother responded, watching from the doorway.
Mr. Kinoshita watched his son and daughter walking together, a smile on his face. "It seems like they've gotten much closer since the last time we saw them," He began, closing the door as he and his wife headed back into the house, "remember how Yuuko would always pick on Hideyoshi and we had to get on to her? When we caught her, that is."
Mrs. Kinoshita giggled as she sat down on the couch, making herself comfortable on the familiar cushion. "That was when they were just kids, dear. Yuuko stopped picking on her sister so much when they got older... or she just got better at hiding it."
Her husband nodded, sitting down beside her and wrapping his arm around his wife. "Yeah, she is pretty smart, so that's not unimaginable. But, despite all of her teasing, they got along pretty well; kind of reminds me of my little sister..." His hair fell down over his emerald eyes as he smiled softly, "but she'd always lecture me about homework and getting into fights."
"Our children have really grown up," Mrs. Kinoshita smiled at her husband before looking away from him, "speaking of that, we know that Hideyoshi is going to be an actress, but what about Yuuko?" She looked back at him. "What does she want to do with her life?"
Mr. Kinoshita looked up at the ceiling, leaning back in the couch. "She's definitely not the type to be a housewife, so maybe a business woman of some kind? She's exceptionally smart, so she'd be able to go up high - even run her own company." His smile grew a little brighter. "But there's that one trait of hers that influences her the most; she wishes to protect her loved ones, no matter the risk."
"She's a lot like her father, isn't she?"
"Just not too much, I hope."
He shook his head, standing up as he started for the guest room. "Anyways, I'll talk to her after school today. Maybe I can find out what plans she has, and maybe I can help her out if she isn't sure."
Lunch Break
Hideyoshi walked out onto the roof, feeling the breeze flow through his hair and make it sway. Without pausing to look up at the sky, he started for their regular spot, feeling much better inside when he caught sight of his twin sitting up against the wall. "Aneue..." He whispered, catching Yuuko's attention as the girl looked back at him, his sister giving him a small smile.
"Sit down already." She muttered, beckoning to the spot next to her.
"Yes, sister." Hideyoshi said, sitting down close to her. Just as he got comfortable with their arms almost touching, Yuuko's lips suddenly found his own. He gasped a little in surprise at first, but quickly found himself being drawn in by her kiss. His hand that wasn't trapped underneath her body moved up to her shoulder as he kissed her back, their tongues intertwining with each other.
They stayed like that for awhile, simply kissing each other until Yuuko finally withdrew from Hideyoshi's mouth, the hideyoshi blushing bright red as some saliva fell out of the corner of his mouth. "I figured you might have wanted a kiss." Yuuko softly said as she wiped the saliva off of his mouth and onto his shirt, her own face red also.
"I had... trouble sleeping, aneue..." Hideyoshi confessed, averting his eyes away from his wife.
"Same here..." Yuuko said sadly, getting off of him as she sat up against the wall again.
They stayed sitting silently for some time, their hands intertwined as they looked up into the sky. Eventually, Hideyoshi had to speak and break the nice little world that they had gotten into. "Sister... what are we going to do...?" He asked her, his hand tightening around her own.
Yuuko sighed, looking down at her legs. "All this time we've been in love, we've had our house, the one place where we were free to show and express our love without being afraid of someone finding out..." She paused, taking a breath before continuing in a softer voice, "but now that our parents have unexpectedly come home, we can no longer act the same way we did." She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a sad expression. "We can't reveal that we have feelings for each other, Hideyoshi. We're going to have to hide these feelings; always when we are at home. I'm sorry... really sorry... but we can't do the same things we've been doing."
Hideyoshi looked away from the expression in her eyes, feeling that he would start tearing up if he were to look anymore. "For an... entire month?"
"Yes, that's right..."
Hideyoshi looked further away from her, his free hand clutching the fabric of his shirt over his heart. "B-but, aneue... I don't... I don't want to have to hide it..." He whispered softly, water starting to form his eyes. "After keeping it hidden for so long, I don't want to have to hide it anymore... especially after knowing... what it feels like to freely express myself..."
Without warning, Yuuko suddenly embraced him, holding him with both of her arms. "Hideyoshi," She whispered into his ear, softly and gently, "I don't want to hide it either... but just think what would happen if our parents found out..."
"S-separation..." Hideyoshi managed to choke out.
"That's right, Hideyoshi." She told him, her hold tightening as water glistened in her own eyes. "I don't want to hide it either, but what choice do we have...? It's better to hide it for a month than to be separated from each other."
Hideyoshi glanced back at her, both of their faces having the same sad and teary-eyed expression. "Sister, our love... it isn't the only thing that we have to hide..."
Yuuko's eyes widened as she remembered that Hideyoshi was indeed correct. She looked down at her stomach as she released Hideyoshi who turned to face her, his eyes going to her stomach as did one of her hands. "You're right. I almost forgot... we also have to hide the fact that I'm pregnant..."
"If we don't... Father will not stop until he knows who the father is."
She looked back into his eyes, smiling a somber smile that held nothing but sadness and worry. "Well, Hideyoshi, it looks like we've got our hands full."
Hideyoshi wiped his tears away with his arm. "Y-yeah..."
A/N: As mentioned in the last chapter of Finding Love, I have a poll about Yuuko and Hideyoshi on my profile. Feel free to vote, and feel free (or slightly restrained) to ignore.
