Truth comes out!


Shimako winked at Yumi, who looks at her confused. They were still at the school's cafeteria and finishing up their lunches along with Sei, when Shimako decided that it's time to end her onee-sama's game of hide and seek and let Yumi go to where Sachiko sama is. But it seems that her friend was too dense to notice that she's helping her to get away from Satou Sei's invisible web that binds the brown haired girl. She kicks Yumi's leg under the table when her friend was about to concentrate on eating the drumstick that her onee-sama had put on Yumi's lunch box and saw the pain that crosses the girl's brown eyes as her friend looks at her. But her eyes widen when Yumi gives her a devilish grin and felt a sudden pain from her leg. Yumi had kicked her back as a revenge for what she did.

"Sei sama, please excuse me for a while I have to go to the bathroom" Yumi said whispering the last word and looks at Shimako with a smirk on her face.

"I'm coming with you" Shimako said and stands up from her chair and together they left the cafeteria.

"Why did you do that?" They asked in perfect unison as they face each other at the same time. Shimako sighs and stared at Yumi helplessly.

"What?"

"It's nothing, just go and find Sachiko sama, I will handle my onee-sama. So, she wouldn't chase you around" Shimako answered but Yumi looks at her skeptically "you want to be with Sachiko sama, right?" Yumi nodded "then go, before onee-sama decided to come out"

"Ri... Right" Yumi agreed and left in a hurry.

-o-

After finishing her lunch, Sachiko watches everyone in the room silently as they converse with one another happily. But she couldn't force herself to join in it because her thought was travelling somewhere "you know, if you're worried about your petite soeur you should go now" Eriko said glancing at her. Sachiko nodded and excuses herself and left the room. Sachiko looks around after she left the Rose Mansion and finally saw Yumi walking towards the school's chapel; she followed the girl in a hurry until she saw Yumi stops in front of the chapel.

"Yumi" Sachiko called out softly and the girl turns around slowly. And after seeing her Yumi smiled at her sweetly, she approaches her petite soeur who watches her solemnly "I finally found you" she said in a whisper after stopping in front of the girl, who looks up at her.

"Shimako san helped me to get away from Sei sama" Yumi replied sheepishly.

"Then I should thank Shimako later" Sachiko said in wonder and looks around cautiously.

"What's wrong?" Yumi asked confused but Sachiko just shook her head.

"Sei sama had been spending half of the day with you and I haven't had the chance to be left with you alone" Sachiko said in a low voice while staring at the pair of honest brown eyes. Until her gaze darted from those brown eyes to the soft lips that she had kissed before.

"Sachiko..." Yumi called her name softly and closes her eyes when she felt Yumi's lips touches hers. Sachiko wraps her arm around Yumi's waist while the latter encircles her arms in Sachiko's neck and the kiss was deepened. And from afar a man there was watching them with a cunning smile plastered on his lips.

-o-

[One o'clock... After lunch]

Yuki sighs as he looks around nervously "what's wrong Yukichi?" A tall and handsome boy asked standing next to him. Yuki looks up at his senpai Kashiwagi Suguru who suddenly appeared next to him after disappearing for almost thirty minutes, leaving him all alone near the Lillian's school gate. Yuki shook his head as an answer but he's afraid that he might encounter his twin sister. Well, Yumi doesn't like him going to her school especially during the sports festival, because Yumi was too embarrassed to be seen in her clumsiness especially by him "by the way Yuki, do you have a sister attending Lillian, I mean I saw a girl who looks exactly like you?"

Yuki frowns at Kashiwagi, who smiles cunningly at him "I do, why?" kashiwagi just smiled at him mysteriously "leave my sister alone" Yuki said without smiling while staring at the older boy's black eyes seriously "if you love playing with girls feelings, don't include my sister in them" Yuki warned. But Kashiwagi just shrugged his shoulders.

"Let me ask you something Yukichi, about your sister"

"What is it?"

"Does she tell you everything, if what was happening to her at school?" Yuki shook his head and watch Kashiwagi in displeasure because he doesn't like how the older boy speaks. As if Yumi was hiding something from him "do you know that she's involved into someone who is a member of Yamayurikai?"

"I do, but what's it got to do with this conversation?" Yuki asked but Kashiwagi ignores his question.

"Do you know the name of the person she's involved with, in Yamayurikai?"

"I do, her name was Ogasawara Sachiko and she's my sister's soeur" Yuki answered impatiently because he couldn't figure out if what Kashiwagi was trying to tell him. Kashiwagi looks at him intently "what?"

"Is your sister gay?" Kashiwagi asked slowly and in a low voice. Yuki's eyes narrowed in displeasure after hearing Kashiwagi's question and before he knew it, he hit Kashiwagi hard in the face and the older boy's head turn to the side. What Yuki did, attracts the others attention.

Kashiwagi touches the part of his face that had been hit and rubs it gently, before looking back at Yuki who was ready to hit him again, if he says another word about his twin sister, which made him smile secretly at the thought that Yuki would go that far hitting anyone just for his sister.

"Don't you ever dare say another word..." Yuki was about to say to Kashiwagi threateningly, but stops himself when a girl who looks exactly like him appeared from the crowd and looks at him confused then turn her gaze at Kashiwagi who was standing in front of him. Yumi approach them and stood next to him.

"What's going on, Yuki?" Yumi asked worriedly and touches Yuki's closed fist and looks at her brother's red face because of anger.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it" Yuki answered calmly and hold his sister's hand "let's go" Yuki said and drag Yumi away from Kashiwagi.

After the siblings had left Kashiwagi receives another hard punch in the face that made his knees buckle and lost his balance and sits on the ground. And when he glances up, he saw Satou Sei's angry face "you don't have to show your face around Lillian, if you're only going to cause trouble in here" Sei said.

"That's enough onee-sama" Todou Shimako said grabbing Sei's arm and trying to stop her for hitting Kashiwagi again. Kashiwagi stands up and looks around at the eyes watching them in shock "please, Kashiwagi san leave now, you're only causing trouble for everyone here" Shimako said politely. Kashiwagi didn't say a single word and his face was also blank and started to walk towards the school's gate.

"Don't ever show your face here again!" Sei shouted angrily.

"Stop it, onee-sama" Shimako said and force Sei away from the crowd.

-o-

Yumi was pacing back and forth inside the greenhouse while Yuki watches her silently "I'm sorry" Yuki mumbles. Yumi sighs and faces Yuki who looks at her with mix emotion.

"Tell me what happened back there? And who's that guy with you? And why are you here in the first place? I thought you will be staying at home for the whole day?" Yumi shot the questions to her brother like a machine gun without even pausing for a breath

"Slow down, he's Kashiwagi Suguru san, one of my seniors at Hanadera. Well, he said something unacceptable about you and before I knew it, I already hit him"

"What is it that he says that made you hit him?" Yuki looks at her unsure. Yumi waited patiently while resting both of her hands on her side "I'm waiting Yuki" she said after a few minutes and Yuki haven't said a word.

"He says you're gay..." Yuki said in a whisper but it didn't reach Yumi's ear.

"What? Could you repeat it? Louder this time" Yumi ordered. Yuki looks at her disoriented then shook his head.

"Forget it" Yuki said and left her in a hurry. Yumi watches her brother left confused.

"What was that all about?" Yumi exclaimed in frustration.

When Yumi accidentally meets up with Sachiko in front of the school's chapel, instead of talking they ended up kissing. Like they never saw each other for one year well she's not complaining or anything. In fact she's happy that she got the chance to kissed her beloved onee-sama/secret lover and they just separated from each other, when they heard the bell rang "it's time to go, Sachiko" Yumi whispered breathlessly because Sachiko was still planting little kisses onto her lips.

"I know" Sachiko responded huskily which made Yumi smile.

"Then you have to let go" Yumi whispered teasingly. Sachiko groans in protest but separated herself from Yumi "I'll see you later" she said and plant a quick kiss on the girl's cheek and jog away, to go back where Sei and Shimako is. But when Yumi reaches Maria sama's statue her attention was caught by a boy who looks exactly like her "Yuki" she whispered and to her shock her brother punch the taller boy standing in front of him.

"Don't you ever dare say another word..." Yuki was about to say to the taller boy but stops when he saw her coming. Yumi looks at Yuki confused then turn her gaze at the taller boy.

"What's going on, Yuki?" Yumi asked worriedly and touches Yuki's closed fist and looks at her brother's red face because of anger.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it" Yuki answered calmly and hold her hand "let's go" Yuki said and drag her away from Kashiwagi.

-o-

Youko was orienting her team mates for the afternoon games when someone grabs her hand from behind and saw Sei's flustered face and Shimako's worried eyes. And she knew right away that something was wrong and went along with the two girls and she didn't even protest nor said a single word when Sei approaches Sachiko "can we talk?" Sei asked while looking at Sachiko seriously. Sachiko nodded and followed them; Sei walks towards the Rose Mansion.

Eriko was watching curiously Sei and the others as they walk towards the Rose Mansion, when Yoshino stood next to her "Eriko sama, I think something is wrong" the younger girl whispered. Eriko observes the group for a few minutes until she saw Sei's expression, it was dark.

"Let's go, signal Rei to follow us" Eriko ordered to Yoshino who nodded and looks around for Rei.

Sei put her hands in front of her chest and looks at Sachiko blankly but before she could start firing question at the girl, the door opened and Eriko along with Rei and Yoshino entered the room. Sei sighs and Eriko's brow furrowed while looking at Sei "what's going on?" Eriko asked and glances at Youko who shrugged.

"Kashiwagi was here" Sei announces but it didn't shock the others.

"I know" Youko and Sachiko answered in unison.

"So, you two knew?" Sei asked quietly and the two girls nodded their heads.

"Wait, what's the big deal if the current president of the Hanadera was here?" Eriko asked confused. Sei and Youko shared a look before glancing at Sachiko "are you two, hiding something from me?" Eriko asked and eyed her two friends suspiciously.

"Kashiwagi Suguru is my cousin... and fiancé" Sachiko answered for the two older roses. Eriko didn't react differently and just stared at Sachiko calmly but Rei and Yoshino's eyes were wide and stared at Sachiko in disbelief.

-o-

When, Yumi didn't find Sei and Shimako at the school's cafeteria when she went back. And about to go to the track and field when she suddenly felt the urge to go to the Rose Mansion for no reason at all, as if an invisible force was dragging her to go there. After reaching the Rose Mansion she entered the building silently, until she reaches the second floor and stop in front of a room that the Yamayurikai were using as their headquarters "Kashiwagi Suguru is my cousin... and fiancé" those are the words she heard coming from the inside before she had the chance to open the door. And that voice belongs to one person, her beloved Ssachiko.

"Kashiwagi Suguru is my cousin... and fiancé" those words echoed on Yumi's head and remembered the taller boy that Yuki had hit earlier.

"He's Kashiwagi Suguru, one f my seniors at Hanadera" Yumi remembered Yuki saying.

"Sachiko has a fiancé...?" Yumi thought and stared blankly at the door. She grabs the knob and opened the door slowly, until shock faces were revealed after seeing her standing there at the doorway.


A/N: Can't breathe because of the excitement that this story brings me. I need to relax a little bit so, I have to leave you for a while... don't hate me for doing this. ^_^

Because the sports day of the Lillian Girls High School was still long but gladly the first half was over...

I hate to say this but have a nice day everyone!
