A/N: I hope you did not take this story seriously. It's for fun, my dear folks. And it's an excapade! Though not that much of naughty goodness ;) It's probably tame compared to the others (is it?) Nah, I really can't remember my other stories that much. I'd say to myself that I should review but I don't think I have the time haha ;) Or more like don't want to make time, probably ;) Seriously, I can't!

Anyway, it's lucky that I'm not very stressed from my class last Saturday. I managed to finish my assignments yesterday so I thought I won't make you wait longer. I do, however, have a lot of readings for next class to read :( But since my mind isn't into reading that bulk of materials at the moment, I did read this chapter, even if a bit fast. And so here it is. Enjoy!

Chapter 4

Several hours after the others had returned and the party was finished…

"You could pass as an actress, Yumi," Sachiko teased as they lay in bed. It was past midnight and they had decided that they had enough for the night. Or so as they said to the others.

Shimako and Eriko, too, had retired to their respective rooms for the night, while the others were still downstairs. They could hear Sei alternating on teasing Yoshino, Touko and Noriko, though it was mainly Yoshino.

"Well, my petite soeur is a member of the drama club. It is bound to affect me, even if only a little," Yumi replied with a laugh, snuggling closer to Sachiko. "I was nervous though. I didn't know if I could pull the act or not."

"You did well. Even when Yoshino-chan cornered you."

"You saw that? She's very persistent. Though I wouldn't expect anything less."

The two chuckled.

"She had always been, but you pull it right until the end. You even lasted during the whole party," Sachiko said, her eyes gleaming as she recalled the events earlier.

"I guess months of pretending we don't have a relationship like the others honed my skills," Yumi said cheekily.

The two shared another amused laughter. Indeed, it had been quite a long time, and it still marveled them how they managed to keep it from the others, especially considering Yumi's easily readable expressions.

"I have changed," Yumi said in awe, as if it was such a big revelation.

Sachiko chuckled. "You have."

"When are we going to tell the others?"

"Let's make it a little longer. Yoshino-chan will probably try another scheme," Sachiko said with a chuckle.

"I'm sure. I'm also sure that she'd kill us once she finds out that we tricked her."

Yumi chuckled as the image of Yoshino practically chewing her head off once she found out that her effort to bring them together was all for naught.

'Well, not really all for naught,' she thought as she remembered what happened earlier when she and Sachiko were alone. She smiled to herself as she fought hard not to blush. Back to Yoshino, though, she needed to be prepared for the earful she would get once Yoshino was in on the secret.

"I wonder what she and the others would do next."

The two looked at each other, then laughed again as they thought about various things that their friends could pull next time.

"I think Onee-sama and Touko-chan know the truth."

"I think so, too. They know us very well."

"Eriko-sama may have an idea that we are together already, though I don't think she knows what happened. She'll never talk, too, because she would prefer to watch the others do their thing. It will be interesting for her."

"Do you think Sei-sama knows about us?"

"I could never tell what's going on in that head of hers. Maybe she does, maybe she does not. We won't know unless she wanted us to know. Well, it doesn't matter. We have never planned to keep it this long anyway."

"It's not our fault if they haven't realized it. Though we're trying to keep it a secret, I didn't think we could avoid them from discovering the truth this long."

"They could be dense sometimes…like someone I know."

"Hey, you're not referring to me, are you?"

"Are you dense, Yumi?" Sachiko asked, a beautiful eyebrow arched as she gazed at Yumi coolly.

"Are you looking for a fight, Sachiko?" Yumi asked, matching Sachiko's look as much as she could.

"Is that a threat?"

Yumi laughed at Sachiko's challenging look.

"No way. Who would want to face your wrath, anyway?"

"Hey!"

They shared a happy laughter, before Sachiko had had enough of being teased for her temper for the nth time this day. In a quick move that surprised even herself, she had Yumi pinned below her.

"Now who's threatening whom?" Yumi asked, her heartbeat quickening as Sachiko gazed at her intently. She knew what was coming. She was expecting it, even waiting for it.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Sachiko murmured, bringing her face closer to Yumi's.

"Don't be coy," Yumi whispered back, lifting her head to move closer to Sachiko. They were so close that their lips touched for every breath they took.

"This time, no handcuff to restrain me. Remember that, my dear Yumi."

"You already took advantage earlier. It's my turn now…" Yumi breathed, not really complaining, closing the minute gap between them.

"I'll think about it…" Sachiko said, pulling away from Yumi to speak. The corner of her lips lifted into a sexy smirk when Yumi moaned, this time in complaint, at the lost contact.

"Stop thinking already…" Yumi complained, pulling Sachiko back to her. She didn't care if Sachiko was to take charge again. There were other times for revenge. For now, she wanted to feel again what she felt earlier.

-o-

Earlier after the others had left Sachiko and Yumi to window shop…

"Geez. What are Sei-sama and Yoshino-san thinking?" Yumi asked when her laughter subsided into soft giggles. She sat on the couch, pulling Sachiko gently with her.

"That we need to be alone together," Sachiko said, her formerly angry eyes were gleaming with mischievousness.

"On one account, they were right," Yumi said as she moved closer to Sachiko.

"Yes," Sachiko whispered as she put her right hand on Yumi's waist.

"We haven't been alone together for quite some time, right?"

"Yes."

"So, should we humor them?" Yumi asked as she put her left hand on Sachiko's right shoulder.

"You'll get no objection from me on that," Sachiko replied as she leaned closer to Yumi's face.

Soft lips touched soft lips. It was a brief, gentle kiss. Both sighed with pleasure at the contact.

"I've missed this, Yumi. I've missed you," Sachiko whispered, her lips just a hair's breathe away from Yumi's.

"I've missed you, too, Sachiko," Yumi breathed, before she locked her lips to Sachiko's, then pulled back again quickly and murmured, "And I definitely missed this…"

Sachiko smiled softly, before kissing Yumi once more. The kiss turned into kisses. Pretty soon, the gentle kisses became hungry and needy.

Yumi trailed burning kisses across Sachiko's nose, cheeks, on her jaw, until she reached her ear and nibbled on her earlobe.

Sachiko moaned and pulled Yumi closer in response. She had her in her lap in a heartbeat. And as Yumi made a trail of burning kisses on her neck, her right arm caressed Yumi's back. Their cuffed hands were still joined, squeezing each other's gently.

When Sachiko's right hand moved from Yumi's back to her waist then to her stomach, up to her chest, Yumi shuddered and pulled away. She rested her forehead on Sachiko's, their eyes closed, and were both breathing heavily.

"Yumi, let's go upstairs," Sachiko murmured, kissing Yumi's nose.

Another shiver ran in Yumi's spine, before she opened her dazed eyes and nodded. She received a quick kiss on the lips before she was pulled upstairs. It didn't take them long to reach Sachiko's bedroom.

After making sure that the door was locked, Sachiko tugged Yumi's hand towards her bed.

Yumi followed eagerly. When they reached the bed, she playfully pulled Sachiko down. They landed with a soft thud, with her on top.

For some time, they stared at each other and shared a gentle look.

"I've almost forgotten the last time I was here, Sachiko," Yumi murmured as she caressed Sachiko's cheeks with her free hand.

Sachiko closed her eyes and leaned to Yumi's touch.

"Yes. It's been so long."

"I've missed you."

"I've missed you, too."

"You're so beautiful, Sachiko."

"Just as you are beautiful, Yumi."

Soon, Sachiko thought she had enough of Yumi caressing her cheeks. She leaned up and kissed Yumi softly as if tasting her lips, before she kissed her passionately. Yumi responded in kind.

After some time, their lips found other places to land.

"This handcuff is getting in the way," Sachiko complained in a moan when she couldn't get Yumi's shirt off.

"Don't worry," Yumi moaned as she parted Sachiko's unbuttoned blouse.

"Yumi…"

"I'm glad you're wearing a blouse," Yumi murmured as she placed burning kisses along Sachiko's ribcage while her left hand reached for the clasp of Sachiko's bra. As soon as the gentle swells of Sachiko's front were free from their confinement, she didn't waste any time and kissed them alternately, hungrily.

Sachiko arched her back and stifled a loud moan.

"Un…fair…you're un…fair…Yu…mi," Sachiko breathed, each syllable was broken with delicious moan that sent shivers along Yumi's spine, making her want Sachiko more.

"It's not my fault, Sachiko," Yumi murmured, enjoying the sounds that Sachiko made.

Sachiko's head was spinning, but it didn't deter her from getting back at Yumi. With surprising strength, she pushed Yumi down and straddled her.

Yumi smiled a dazed smile at the sight of Sachiko straddling her. The latter's hair fell on her shoulders in complete disarray, her blouse unbuttoned all the way down giving her an unobstructed view of Sachiko's beauty.

If Sachiko's cheeks were already red due to their activity, it reddened more at the sight of Yumi looking hungrily at her. She felt her throat ran dry. She cleared her throat and smiled at Yumi, before she once again reached for the hem of Yumi's shirt and pushed it upwards. If she couldn't take it down, then she would just hike it as high as she could along Yumi's neck.

In mere seconds, Sachiko had Yumi's bra off. It was her turn to admire Yumi's beauty as the latter squirmed a bit uncomfortably.

"Still shy, my Yumi? I've seen it before," she teased.

Yumi pouted.

Sachiko smiled a mischievous smile and unzipped Yumi's skirt. Just like what happened to the bra, it was immediately discarded. The cotton pale blue panties followed suit. She only took a second to admire Yumi's beauty before she started tasting it.

-o-

"Rei-chan, get this woman away from me," Yoshino demanded hotly, pulling her cuffed hand against Sei. Soon though, she lost the battle to the stronger Sei and almost fell over.

"I can't. I don't have the key," Rei said, standing from her seat at the floor.

"Then get it," Yoshino said in annoyance.

Rei's eyes narrowed, before she shook her head with a defeated sigh. She seemed to be sighing a lot today.

"You know that Youko-sama wouldn't give it to me."

"But…"

"I'll bring some blankets for you, two," Rei interrupted as she left the grinning Sei and the irritated Yoshino at the living room.

"This is your fault, Sei-sama."

"Look who's talking," Sei said with an infuriating grin, enjoying Yoshino's irritation as she remembered what had caused the younger person to her current predicament…Or more like their current predicament that she chose to treat humorously.

Earlier, with the speed that surprised everyone, Youko cuffed the arguing Sei and Yoshino as a punishment to them both for arguing a lot and for what they did to Sachiko and Yumi.

"I told you it wasn't a good idea to bring a handcuff, Yoshino-chan."

"Hmp!" Yoshino said as she turned her eyes away from Sei. Maybe next time she would handcuff Sei and Eriko to get back at those two. Forget Youko. She was too clever to be tricked.

A/N: Sachiko and Yumi were already together when the others played a prank on them. On how it happened, well, you can just use your imagination ;) I'm not going to explain every bit in a story, you know. That would take some time. I'm feeling lazy to do that. Besides, it's meant to be that way. And the house, Sachiko lives their alone, okay? It's a different house from the Ogasawara Mansion. How or why, that's also left for your magination ;)

And, I have a bit of surprise for you, folks. And since it is a surprise, I won't say anything, okay? ;)

Unidentified: "Not even a clue?"

Arvendell: "Nope. No clue at all. If you're interested, then you'll have to be patient again."

Unidentified: "That's mean, Arvendell!"

Arvendell pouts and then closed the file so no more conversation.

;)
