Fixing a Broken Heart

Chapter 7

"Sober"

Yumi's jog accelerated when she's nearing the lake of the forest. Her thought is still recovering for what she've just remembered, the event that take place last night.

What just she've done that night... it's embarassing and unforgivable! She've just flirted with her only and closest friend! Her bestfriend!

She's done for!

Yumi reach the lake and walk closer on the right side of the lake and bent down to extend her hands to the fresh water. She splashes her face with the said waters to clean and remove the sweats off of her. Specially on her face that full of sweats due to the jogging session she just did.

While she's doing this for sometimes, a flash of memory came across her clouded mind...

She's kneeling in front of 'Ringo' murmuring and crying out the pain she's carrying.

Then a flash of her kissing 'Ringo' and next... all is black...

The young brunette blink.

Are all those happened or it's just one part of her weird dreams again?

Yumi thought and pause.

"Maybe it's just a dream.., there's no way Ringo would came by at the house..."

The brunette voices out.

She shook her head and take a very deep breath or sigh, and close her eyes for awhile.

She then lay down at the green grass looking at the sky that is now slightly brigther than before... she sigh again.

"I really should move on..."

The young musician close her eyes one more time and just let the darkness take her... where ever that would be...

"..."

soft breeze passes by.

"..."

'Ringo...'

"..."

She said slowly and eyes clouded with coming tears...

"Excuse me?" 'Ringo' asked

- - - -flash- - - -

"I guess... I should tell you what am I feeling... deep inside..."

She placed a hand on the raven-haired woman's left check.

"Here..." she put her other hand on her left chest where her heart is located.

- - - -flash- - - -

Slowly Yumi close the distance between her and Ringo's face

and finally she kissed her slowly...

All is black

- - - - end- - - -

Yumi gasped and immediately stand up.

"..."

"What's that all supose to mean?" She confuse now...

"..." she sat down again with exhaustion

she look at the inviting water of the lake

"..."

"I think... I need a cold bath...right now..." She stand up again and started walking towards the lake absentmindedly.

"..."

A shriek, Yumi just realize that she swam in the cold water with her garments on!

"Great! Just great!" She exclaimed and just shook her head

"Ohayo Rei-sama..." Shimako greeted while entering the kitchen.

"Ah! Ohayo Shimako, up already?" Rei asked while eyes still on the task in front of her.

"Hai... and it seems like.. your early than usual... I mean, more early than usual..." Shimako said while scanning the area full of almost done food and ready to serve.

"Iie... No...I didn't make this all..." Rei said knowing what the young Rosa Gigantea is refering for

Shimako gave her a quizical look.

Rei scratch the back of her head "Ano... You see, when I enter the kitchen I found a postnote at the door that's been attach to it" Rei gave the postnote to the Young Rosa Gigantea.

The said girl read the note silently.

"Oh... I see," She then smiled

"I guess the owner of the house prepare us some food, Yes?"

Shimako added

"hmmnnmm..." Rei responded.

Later that time, Shimako started to help Rei prepare the foods. And after awhile, Noriko came down and volunteered to help.

Eriko , Rei's Onee-sama who have a big grin plastered on her face. And also the said woman said out loud that "Youko and Sei's current position is priceless!"

The other shook their heads for the thought of their two older friends positions... if Eriko found it hilarous... well it should be funny!

After Eriko's laughing fit.

She did wonder where Yumi's whereabouts, Rei gave the postnote to her Onee-sama who just voices out an 'Oh...kay...'

Kanako then came down followed by Yoshino who've got started a random but not serious fight with Eriko.

After cooking the foods, everyone sat down at the living room chatting and watching TV, forgetting the incedent last night.

When the front door opens...

Everyone exchanges glances and look at Yoshino, the braided hair woman stood and go outside to look if what's or either who's she's thinking is right...

Yumi entered the front door careful not to make the floor wet because of her damp state. She grabbed a towel in the near rackstand that she put there earlier that day before going out for a jog.

Suddenly Yoshino appeared in nowhere, thought Yumi who surprise her a tight bear hug!

"Yumi!" Yoshino said and charge towards the hazel-eyed girl.

"Ugh! Yoshi-" the musician grunted from the tight hug

"Oh God! Why are you so up early in the morning? You are suppose to be asleep at this moment? Are you alright? God Yumi, I'm so sorry about for hitting you hard in the face last night... I didn't mean it! As in! And why are you all wet?" Yoshino look at her friend but not letting her go while examining her, and return hugging Yumi but tighter this time not minding that she will get wet too.

While Yumi still struggling to catch her breath from the tight hug.

"Y-Yoshi-cha-chan... Can't breath... need... Air!" the chestnut-haired woman try to say between breaths.

"Oh... Gomene Yumi! I didn't mean it too.." Yoshi grin sheepishly.

"Iie, I should be the one apologizing for last nights event"

The said musician smiled sadly

"Gomene for the fuss too, Yoshi..." Yumi apologize sincerely

"Iie, No it's okay..." the black hair woman smiled warmly who understand what's the cause of her friends behaviour last night...

"Atlast, it's good to meet the sober Yumi, who Yoshino here keep telling me... er us..."

Rei commented and accept Yumi's hand when the latter offered a hand shake.

"Uh.. y-yeah and gomen for the inconvenience" Yumi stammered while blushing a little for what she've done that time.*1*

"Yeah, nice one Yumi! You gave them a wrong impression for what you did last night even though you still dont remember all of it!" Yumi thought

When they came back at the livingroom Yoshino introduce the musician to the present Yamayurikai.

"And that lady in a headband is Torii Eriko, my Grande Seour and Rei's Onee-sama" the braided-hair woman said.

"We're the Foetida Family or the Yellow Roses" she added.

"Nice to meet you Yumi-chan" Eriko said with a smile

"Same here.." Yumi replied with a bow

"And that girl in blond-" Yoshino said gesturing at Shimako.

"Shimako-san, fancy seeing you here!" Yumi cut her friend's word and smiled warmly at Shimako, she also bowed in respect

"Same as mine Yumi-san" Shimako smiled too and bowed

"I never thought that you're that Yumi, who Yoshino-san and Onee-sama's refering to" She added

Yoshino gape and the other just watch with amusement

"Uh... that, gomene for the behaviour Shimako-san" Yumi bowed her head ashamed of what she've done last night and scratch the back oof her head sheepishly

"You knew each other?" Yoshino after she recoveedr from the shock asked in confusion.

"Hai! Yoshi-chan, she's often orders fresh flowers or sometimes a flower in pots in the store, right Shimako-san?" the young musician stated at her favorite customer.

"Hai, Yumi-san" She then smiled and looked at Noriko

"And by the way, this is my Petite Seour, Nijou Noriko" Shimako introduced

"We're the Gigantea Family or the White Rose Family"

"Nijou Noriko, Please to meet you Yumi-sama" Noriko introduced herself and bow

"Same goes here, Nori-wait! S-sama? You call me A sama?" Yumi squeak then pointed to herself, never in her mind that someone will call her sama *4*

"..."

everyone excluding Yoshino dont get what she just say, her friend snigger with her expence

"Uh, okay never mind" Yumi dismissed the question

"And lastly, this is Hosakawa Kanako friend of the Chinesis Family"

Yoshino introduced Kanako lastly

Yumi turned and see a tall and a blacklong haired girl, her smile widen some more when a sudden realization hit her.

"Kanako-chan! Pretty fancy seeing you here too"

The young Musician then spread her arms as if waiting Kanako will come and hug her.

And the tall girl just did what her sempai want her to do.

Kanako embrace Yumi not caring to be wet but not as bad as Yoshino though because she put a towel on her shoulder.

"Same here Yumi-sama, I never thought that the one's Yoshino-sama here and Sei-sama's friend is you..." Kanako stated and release Yumi from the hug.

"By the way, how's your stepmom's doing this days?" Yumi then remembered Kanako's step mom's current situation.

"She's fine Yumi-sama and she've just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last year and a half"

Kanako explained happily and grateful her Yumi-sama still remember

"I'm glad, pass my greetings to her okay?" the hazel eyed woman said and turned to Yoshino's amused face

"Kanako here is somewhat... helping me and the flower shop sometimes Yoshi, if that's bothering you." the brunette said, explaining why she knew Kanako too.

Yoshino nod

"Ohayo mina-san!" Came a jolly tune of Nana while entering the livingroom followed by Touko behind.

Everyone turned and looked to the new arrived girls, Yoshino seeing her younger sister entering the room, proceed introducing the young foetida sister to Yumi.

"Nice to meet you Nana-chan" Yumi smiled and shake hands to the said girl and let go.

"S-same to you, Yumi-sama" Nana stammered

Yumi turned to Touko who stand quitely in a corner, glaring daggers at her. Yumi felt akward of the intense gazed of the younger girl and she dont know why! *2*

"Well... I never thought I could see er meet... face to face the Actress Touko-chi here..."

Yumi plastered a sheepish grin *3*

The drilled haired girl raises a brow from the word chi that this kiss stealer stranger put on her name

"..."

"I... a ... actually one of your fan... *cough* you act nice... no, good... uh... no, impressive!" Yumi then scratch the back of her head sheepishly

"You're from the Chinesis Family right?..."

"..."

'Great Yumi just GREAT! Sooo! akward! You make her upset!' Yumi thought

A cough "Well! Why would we sit down and relax ne?" Yoshino said breaking the akward silence enveloped them

"Yeah! Right... " Yumi chuckle nervously then started to walk at the near single armchair when...

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Loud and fast footstep could be heard coming down at the stair and there... Sei entered the living room with a troubled expression plastered on her face but it automatically faded when she saw Yumi looking at her quizzially

"Yumi-chan~!" Sei beamed and run towards Yumi to gave her a tight bear hug! Tighter than Yoshino did.

"Ugh! Can't breath!..." the poor musician catch her breath for the second time in that day.

"Yumi-chan! Em sooo worried 'bout you! You know! You got me worried there! When we realized that your not on the bed anymore!" Sei exclaimed hugging poor Yumi tighter not minding that her dress was being soaked by Yumi's state.

Finally Yumi get out of the death hug and held Sei at either of the blonde shoulder and push her so that, there's a room between them.

"Sei-sama! It's GOOD to see you too! And I'M FINE! And I'm sorry!"

The musician said exagerating some words. She looked pass Sei and there she saw a woman stood not far behind the playful woman.

The said person have a chin-length hairstyle and black in color.

Also she gave an aura of a tough and sophisticated lady. The said lady also wore a smile of amusement though, Yumi could sense something... Jealousy perhaps? But why would the said person be jealous? And to whom? To her? Then Yumi remembered what her Sei-sama said or rather confess to her before...

"Uh, hey Sei-sama... would you mind introducing me to that gorgeous lady behind you?" She smirk while asking this and it grew wider when she notice Sei reaction and confirmed her guess.

Sei froze on the spot. Does Yumi got interested at Youko already? But when? Last night? No, it cant be! She's too drunk to remember a thing and to notice such thing! Or maybe, just right now... she just seem to notice the young lawyer's appearance?

The brunette chuckle softly while looking at her blond friend's reaction. Who's now battling to herself or her thoughts.

While this is happening, the other occupant of the room got amused at their friends reaction.

Oh! why their Sei-sama looks like so... afraid of something?

Yumi end the akward silence for everyones sake *though more likely to Sei's side of course*

"Well, i think Sei-sama is not going to introduce me to this fine gorgeous lady so, I'll just introduce myself then..." Yumi walked pass through Sei and faced the said woman behind the blonde.

Yumi then wore her charming smile and said.

"I'm Fukuzawa Yumi... may I have the honoured to know the name of this gorgeous lady infront of me?" Yumi introduced herself and asked while extending her hand towards the young lawyer.

"..."

"I... I'm Mizuno Youko... nice to meet you Yumi-chan..." Youko then accepted Yumi's offered hand to shakehand but,

Everyone never expected the young brunette's next move, who shocked them.

The young musician hold the dark-haired woman's hand firmly but not tightly, bend down her head to captures Youko's back hand for a kiss

Some of them gasps

"..."

Yumi smiled and stood straight she can see in the corner of her eyes that Sei's totally frozen in her feet

"I'm glad to finally meet you... Youko-sama, you're the former Rosa Chinesis am I correct?... Sei-sama here often talked about you... when she visit me at home"

The brunette bowed politely, she felt a cold hand touches her shoulder firmly.

"Yumi-chan, Dont ever think about to lay a hand at Youko..." Sei whispered the last word including Youko's name.

Yumi flinched from the sudden touch and the very warning she heard but covered it up fast.

She also knew what her Sei-sama means, and also she now knew that this woman named Youko is very important to Sei's life... why she say so? Well... the look of the situation, Sei was threaten... threaten that Yumi will hook Youko... and she wont allow that!

"Of course I wont Sei-sama! Why'd you ask that?" Yumi turned to Sei awhile and face Youko once again and added while walking closely to the young lawyer and whispered.

"Please do take care of Sei-sama, although she acts differently... and weird...? she's too vulnerable inside" after that she patted Youko's shoulder and turn around to walked towards Yoshino's who sat next to Rei. She just stand near where Yoshino sits (She's still damped you know)

"Cho-Chotto matte Yumi-chan! What did you say to Youko" Sei asked nervously thinking Yumi just hit on her lover.

Yes, Yumi's right. She's afraid that Yumi could hook Youko, she knows Youko is a serious and formal type of person but she would not underestimate the young musician's charisma as a player.

"Oh, nothing particular Sei-sama" Yumi tease

"Stop making fun Yumi!" Sei got irritated, YES she loved to tease and make fun to others but it's another story when she's the one who's being tease by others.

And everyone aside from Yumi and Yoshino is surprise to that

"Kami... Sei-sama your priceless I just-"

"She didn't tell an awful thing Sei, you should trust what your friend here tells me. Why, you're afraid of something?" Youko assured and asked

"W-well..." Sei trailed off

'Seriously Sei, you're acting very weird and out of character this fast few days!' Youko thought and amused by the idea of Sei

The said blonde wanted to retort something but was cut-off

"Nevermind Sei, and just sit okay?" the lawyer gestured

'Of course... I will take care of you... i promisethat Sei... I wont let anyone incuding me hurt ou anymore...' Youko promised toherself and look at the young musician who was standing beside Yoshino. Relief and happiness flooded her... because she knew... that this Yumi is helping her and Sei's relationships... that this girl is in her side and not planning to ruined their not so long relationship

'Thank you...' She silently thank the young brunette

Sei sit at the couch with the others

Yumi whistled in amusement, while looking at everyone sitting comfortable in her living room.

"Seriously, your such a BIG 'family'" She smiled changing the topic

"So... are you all here? Each one of you?" the brunette asked if there's anyone left to be her to meet and be introduced.

Everyone exchange glances and look at Yumi with doubt if they should tell the young musician or not.

"It's Sachi-" Yoshino tried telling Yumi but interrupted.

"Honestly... what's the source of all the commotions early in the mornig?" an irritated, angry and husky voice of a woman near the doorway suddenly interrupted Yoshino's words.

Everyone look at the newcomer.

Sachiko scanned the room to look at her friends faces and asking herself why, no one answered her questions, suddenly...

Hazel meets sapphire...

I guess fate wanted them to meet that fast...

Once again...

'Ringo!'

Yumi screamed at her mind, wide eyes not believing her eyesight!

Her sober mind playing trick at her again! Because why on earth should Ringo be here!

Sachiko froze on the spot

'Oh my...'

She thought

Finally...

they've meet...

for the second time...
