A/N: Hey so right away sorry about the delay on this, the two 1 year stories took a bit of my time and this wasn't actually started till after they were done and posted :x. Anyways, this chapter has been giving me some issues so I did some final tweaks and am putting it up. I just kept going back and forth about a few things that should happen or be said and I've found that I've become rather picky as to minor events. It won't show too much in this story, but perhaps in future ones. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Sachiko yawned as she stretched her shoulders and slowly opened her eyes, the top of Yumi's head coming into sight still resting on her shoulder. Sachiko smiled at this before glancing to the alarm clock, it was already almost ten in the morning.
They didn't have anything going on today though that they had to be up for so Sachiko took it upon herself to just lay still for awhile with Yumi nuzzled against her. The night before had been amazing and had also made a very special memory for both of them again.
Sachiko lifted her hand into the air to look at the ring as she smiled remembering every detail from the night before.
"It's beautiful." Yumi said startling Sachiko a little as she started to stretch. Sachiko just smiled as she held her hand up inspecting the rings beauty. That was until Yumi took her attention for a kiss which lasted until Yumi had climbed over Sachiko and got out of bed to grab some clothes.
"Sachiko are you hungry?" Yumi asked as Sachiko put her shirt on.
"No, I'm fine. I think I'm just going to check my email quick if you don't mind." Sachiko said as Yumi looked at her funny.
"Sachiko, you know I don't mind. Remember what I said, this is our room now." Yumi reminded Sachiko who just smiled and grabbed the laptop before sitting back down on Yumi's bed. "I am going to go get us something to drink at least. I think a lazy day around the house might be in order." Yumi suggested with a smile as she left the room.
Sachiko smiled as she saw Yumi's Facebook open with a message last sent to Youko. Somehow she had found time to gather everyone together yesterday, now Sachiko knew how. Instead of closing it she opened a new tab and opened her email website.
"Junk, junk, junk, j. . .junk, j—wait a minute what's this?" Sachiko asked herself as she started to read.
Yumi in the meanwhile made it into the kitchen where her parents sat eating breakfast.
"Good morning." Yumi said as she went to the cupboard and grabbed two glasses.
"Good morning, Yumi, would you or Sachiko like anything to eat?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked a Yumi shook her head and went to the sink.
"No thank you we aren't hungry, we just wanted something to drink." Yumi explained as her mother gave a slight nod.
"How was your night?" Mr. Fukuzawa asked as Yumi smiled and set the now two full glasses down before going over to the table.
"It was great! We got to see our friends for a little bit and then we went out shopping and. . ." Yumi trailed off as she smiled brightly. "I proposed officially." Yumi said as her mother gasped and covered her mouth while her father just simply smiled.
"What did she say?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked even though she knew the answer.
"Well obviously she said yes, I mean we didn't tell you we got married like that for no reason." Yumi said as her mother shook her head.
"Of course, of course, but tell me the details, it's not everyday my daughter proposes to her girlfriend." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as she waited for Yumi to speak.
Yumi told her about how she had brought her to the park where they shared their first kiss and how she had made Sachiko go over that memory with her. She told her mother how Sachiko had gotten teary eyed before giving her a hug.
"She said yes." Yumi finished as her mother smiled brightly before giving Yumi a hug.
"I'm so happy for you two." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as she held her daughter for a moment before letting go. "I am going to make a big celebration dinner tonight so make sure you two are home." She continued as Yumi just smiled and nodded before being let go.
"Congratulations, Yumi, I am so proud of you." Mr. Fukuzawa said as Yumi went around the table to give him a hug too.
"Thank you dad, it means so much to me that you accept our relationship." Yumi explained as he patted her back once or twice before releasing her.
"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat? You have to be hungry after such a big day." Mrs. Fukuzawa asked as Yumi shook her head.
"No, we stopped on the way home and got something." Yumi replied though admittedly they hadn't really touched that food since it was interrupted by Sachiko's surprise. "We can make something in an hour or two when we get hungry, we just plan on lounging around the house today."
"That's good, it might be best to let Sachiko get a little rest after everything that has happened. Speaking of which, has her parents contacted her yet?" Mr. Fukuzawa asked as Yumi frowned a little shaking her head.
"I don't think so, but I don't want to make her contact them either. I think she should contact them when she is good and ready." Yumi said as her mother smiled.
"Perhaps once you get a wedding date? I can't imagine you will have it far out if you've already had a marriage of sorts." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as Yumi turned to her and nodded.
"You're right, but we haven't decided any date yet. I think we are both thinking sooner than later though. . . Anyways, I am going to go see what she is up to, we'll be in my room if you need me." Yumi said as she grabbed the two glasses of water and made her way up the stairs.
She raised an eyebrow when she saw Sachiko standing in the middle of her room holding something behind her. Yumi set down the glasses of water on her dresser before shutting her bedroom door and looking to Sachiko. "What is it?" Yumi asked curiously as Sachiko smiled and pulled out Yumi's laptop from behind her back.
Yumi raised an eyebrow as she looked down to the screen and saw the headline of the email, "Your new house is ready to be moved into!" Yumi's eyes went wide as she looked up to Sachiko whose smile had only grown a little bigger.
"D-Does this mean. . .?" Yumi trailed off as Sachiko nodded and set the laptop on the dresser by the two glasses Yumi had brought up.
"It means we are home owners, Yumi!" Sachiko said with excitement as Yumi practically jumped towards her for a long hug. "It means our life together can really start." Sachiko continued as Yumi hugged her tighter for a moment before letting go.
"I'm happy and I think this might also be the perfect opportunity." Yumi said as Sachiko tilted her head to the side in confusion. "W-What would you think of having our wedding at our new house? I mean we have a big enough back yard and we could invite our friends and. . . I mean if you want to, it is an idea." Yumi said before feeling a little discouraged. She was sure Sachiko was thinking a big wedding in a church of some sort.
"It's a perfect idea too." Sachiko added as Yumi blinked. "I think a wedding in our own back yard sounds beautiful." Sachiko continued as Yumi smiled.
Ring, ring, ring. . .
"That's my phone." Sachiko said as she turned and climbed onto Yumi's bed to grab it from the nightstand. "Hello?"
"Hi, I was calling to let you know that all the paperwork is done on your house. You can start moving in today if you want, you just have to pick up the key at the office first." The realtor explained as Sachiko smiled.
"Yes, we just saw the email a few minutes ago, it's very exciting. Will you be around at two in the afternoon?" Sachiko asked as Yumi stood patiently waiting.
"Yes, we close at three today so we will be around."
"Excellent, we will see you at two." Sachiko said before saying her goodbyes and hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Yumi asked as Sachiko put her phone back on the night stand to charge.
"It was the realtor, we have to pick up the key to the house at two. We can even start moving in once we get it she said." Sachiko explained as Yumi smiled and glanced to the clock.
"We have a few hours then, would you mind if my parents came along?" Yumi asked as Sachiko smiled and shook her head. "I'm going to go ask them then if they want to come with. I know my mom is anxious to see it. I'll be right back up."
"Alright, I am going to put on a movie and maybe start packing some things. We should be able to move in relatively quickly, we don't have too much to bring."
Back at the Ogasawara Mansion. . .
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why aren't you on the phone apologizing to your daughter yet?" Sayako asked not caring if her husband could tell how irritated she was.
"Apologizing for what?" Touro responded as if he didn't care what Sayako was saying.
"For what?!" Sayako asked as she looked at her husband surprised. "How about we start with your daughter? You know the one who is going through a very tough time in her life, the same one you cast aside a few days ago."
"What about her, it was her decision to push us away that night, now if you will excuse me I have an important phone call." Touro said as he picked up the phone and turned in his chair completely ignoring his wife.
Sayako lost all her patience with this and instead of leaving she went over to the wall and ripped the cord out. Touro quickly turned in his chair when he heard the line cut and glared at his wife who was holding the disconnected line. "What are you doing? That phone call was extremely important, do you know how much money is on the line here?"
"I don't care!" Sayako shouted over her husband as she dropped the cord and made her way towards his desk. "Now you shut up and listen, no phone call is more important than your own daughter."
"She is a lesbian."
"And you are an asshole, but that doesn't change the fact that Sachiko is still your daughter." Sayako argued as Touro blinked a few times.
"That is enough."
"No, it isn't enough. You need to realize what you are throwing away, not Sachiko. She hasn't thrown anything away, she had the courage to tell us that she was in love with Yumi-chan. You were the one who pushed her away don't you even dare try and pin this on her." Sayako said as Touro put the phone on the hook, there was no point in holding onto it.
"She needs to realize that what she is doing is wrong. She can't love Yumi-chan, that's simply not how it works. . . Besides it's terrible for business being partners with the guy who has a lesbian daughter, just leaves a bad taste in the mouth." Touro explained as Sayako's jaw basically dropped, she never would have imagined he was this bitter about it.
Sayako shook her head as she looked at her husband in disbelief. ". . .You know what, I give up." Sayako said as Touro looked at her confused. ". . .I give up. . . I thought that maybe I could say something that would knock some sense into you, but I realize now that it's pointless. . ."
"What are you talking about?" Touro asked as his wife chuckled a little as she approached his desk.
"Of course you wouldn't understand. You've shown over the past few days that your own family has no meaning to you. . . It just disgusts me to hear you talk about your daughter the way you do, but I have to congratulate you, you've finally got what you wanted." Sayako said as she looked at her hand for a moment before taking her ring off and setting it on his desk.
"What are you doing, put that back on." Touro demanded as Sayako shook her head.
"No, I won't put it back on, though it shouldn't matter. The only thing you care about is your bank account, your own wife and even your daughter have no value to you whatsoever. . . So there, you win. . . You have pushed both of us out of your life now, I hope you are happy." Sayako said as she turned and started walking towards the door.
"Sayako, I'm sorry." Touro said as Sayako turned to him before leaving the room.
"You are saying that to the wrong person. . . Think about what you've done, until then I will be staying with a friend trying to convince my daughter that her father doesn't hate her. It will be hard knowing how you truly feel though." Sayako said as she closed the door.
Touro just sat silent for a moment before sighing and putting his head down on his desk.
Back with Sachiko and Yumi. . .
"Hello?" Sachiko answered as she looked out the car window sort of wishing this phone call could have waited.
"Sachiko, we need to talk, where are you?" Sayako asked as Sachiko glanced back to Yumi who was visibly worried by the way she was looking towards Sachiko. It was nice that Yumi's parents had offered to drive so the phone call could be somewhat private with her parents being in the front seat.
"We are on our way to pick something up. . ." Sachiko replied, restraining herself from saying too much. She felt as though after what happened her parents had no right to know about her life, after all they wanted nothing to do with it.
"Sachiko is it possible that you can meet me after that? I would like to talk with you and Yumi-chan. . . You're father won't be there, I also need something to do while I wait for a friend." Sayako asked as Sachiko looked to Yumi who moved in a way that asked Sachiko if everything was alright which she nodded to.
". . .I don't think that will be possible mother, we are being driven by Yumi's parents and we already have plans. . ." Sachiko said as she thought about it for a second as the line went silent, she could tell her mother was a bit saddened by this. ". . .If you want, you could meet us somewhere though. . . I don't want father there though, he isn't welcome." Sachiko made clear as Yumi put her head down a little. Just the way Sachiko said it, so full of hurt, was enough for Yumi to feel a little troubled.
Of course Yumi's parents who were trying not to listen couldn't help but overhear the conversation.
"I will text you the address, we will be there in about twenty five minutes." Sachiko said as she gave a slight nod. "Yes, I will see you there. . . Goodbye. . ." Sachiko continued as she hung up the phone and sighed as she watched it go idle in her lap.
Yumi moved a little closer to her and placed her hand over Sachiko's, smiling when Sachiko raised her eyes to meet hers. "Is everything alright?" Yumi asked as Sachiko nodded.
"Yes, everything is just fine, I am just a little nervous believe it or not." Sachiko said as Yumi sighed.
"That is to be expected. . . I tried not to listen, but you have to forgive me. . ." Mr. Fukuzawa said form the front seat as Sachiko waved a hand at him ensuring it was alright. "Heh, thanks, but I wouldn't be too nervous. You two stood up for one another the other night and now look at, you are officially engaged and on your way to get the keys to your new house."
"He's right," Mrs. Fukuzawa continued for him. "I think what he is trying to say is that you have nothing to worry about. You both have one another and we are there too to stop them if they did try anything, which I'm sure they wouldn't. . . They may not be too happy with your relationship, but they will come around...It just may take a little longer for your father, but I'm sure even he will crack. Losing a daughter over her being happy is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, he will have to come around." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as the car came to a stop.
"Looks like we're here." Mr. Fukuzawa said as he and his wife got out of the car.
Yumi smiled as she hugged Sachiko's arm quick to get her attention. "See, everything will be just fine. I won't leave your side no matter what." Yumi said as Sachiko smiled and gave her a quick kiss before opening the door and helping her out.
Both girls could only smile brightly as they took each others hands, right through those doors were the keys to their new life. "Let's go, Yumi, I can't wait for your parents to see our new home."
Mrs. Fukuzawa smiled as she watched the two girls join hands and start walking towards the building. This was a big step for both girls and she was happy that she could be there to witness it.
Once inside Sachiko and Yumi were greeted by the woman who showed them the house originally.
"Hey, you two have perfect timing, I just got done with all of your work, all that is left to do is sign one last document and then you get the keys!" The realtor said as both girls smiled and followed her into the office. "Alright this will just be quick, all I need is your signature right here saying that you received the keys, which are right here."
Yumi smiled as she looked from the keys in the realtor's hand to Sachiko who just smiled at her for a moment before releasing her hand to sign the paper.
"Perfect, now here are your keys, you can start moving in whenever you are ready." The realtor said as she replaced the signed paper with the keys to their house.
Sachiko smiled as she picked up the keys and retook Yumi's hand before saying her goodbye with the realtor and leaving her office. Once out of the office Mrs. Fukuzawa couldn't help but give Yumi, who looked like she had been smiling for ten weeks an excited hug. Sachiko could only smile at this before being pulled into the hug by her mother.
"You're part of this family too." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as Sachiko's smile grew and she felt Yumi squeeze her hand tighter for a moment.
"Come on, let's go see the house."
. . .
"No, just keep taking this road straight, I'll tell you when to turn." Yumi said as her father gave up with a sigh and kept driving. They had been on the road for about ten minutes and were getting closer to the house which was about fifteen from the realtors office.
"Are you two excited?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked as she turned in her seat and was greeted with two smiles. "Good because I am excited to see your first home too!"
"Yes, we are both excited that you could come with us. We would have liked for my parents to be there too, but now I'm not so sure." Sachiko said as she put her head down a little, that is until Yumi put an arm around her.
"You know your mother will still be there. I know it's not the same as them both, but at least one will be there right?" Yumi asked as Sachiko lifted her head a little and smiled.
"You're right, Yumi. I just hope she accepts us, she still hasn't really said which side of the fence she is on yet."
"She is on your side." Mr. Fukuzawa said as the girls looked to him. "If she reached out to you and agreed to meet you here she is most likely on your side. I would be very surprised if she wasn't."
"Turn left here dad and he is right Sachiko, she reached out to you." Yumi reassured her as she took Sachiko's hands in her own. "Even if she isn't on your side, I still am."
Sachiko gave a nod as the house came into sight and her mothers car in the driveway with it. "This is it." Sachiko said as Yumi's dad pulled into the driveway and shut the car off.
"Oh, it's beautiful girls." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as she got out of the car. Unfortunately it would go unheard by the two as they kept their eyes on Sayako who was stepping out of the other car.
"Everything will be fine, Sachiko. Just remember that I love you and I won't allow her to take you away from me." Yumi said as Sachiko glanced from her mother to Yumi with a more confident look.
That still wouldn't stop the awkward silence as the girls stepped out of the car and came face to face with Sayako. Thankfully it wouldn't last long because like Yumi's father had suggested, Sayako was on their side.
"Sachiko, Yumi-chan, thank you for inviting me here." Sayako said with a slight bow. " I had to say I was quite surprised when I arrived at this house, but I understood what it was right away. Anyways. I wanted to apologize first off for the other day. . . I won't even try and defend what my husband said and did. I am just sorry I didn't act that night and I hope you can forgive me. Unlike him I don't want to lose you Sachiko." Sayako continued with a hint of sadness in her tone.
Sachiko paused for a moment as she shared a look with Yumi before letting go of her hand and giving her mother a hug. "Thank you, mother. . . I am glad to hear you say that. . ." Sachiko said a little lifelessly as she separated from her mother and joined Yumi's side again. ". . .I know you still may not like my decision, but I respect that you can look past it and still want me as your daughter."
"Of course I want you as my daughter, Sachiko. Nothing will ever change that. . ." Sayako said as she took a few steps towards the girls and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "And to be honest. . . I think you and Yumi-chan are a great couple. I wouldn't want you with anyone else." Sayako said as she looked to Yumi. "I also want to say thank you, Yumi-chan, for being there for Sachiko, I truly believe you are the only one that can support her."
"Thank you." Yumi said with a big smile as Sayako released them.
"Thank you, mother." Sachiko added after Yumi with a smile. "Now why don't we go look at the house, I am excited to show everyone." Sachiko continued changing the subject with a hint of excitement.
Sayako just nodded as she stepped aside and let the two girls take the lead in guiding them towards the front door. With one final glance to Yumi who looked as excited as Sachiko felt she put the key in and opened the door.
Once the door was open Sachiko took Yumi's hand again and entered with everyone following them.
"Wow, this is beautiful girls." Sayako said as Yumi's parents and her looked around.
"Thank you." Sachiko said as she glanced back and forth between her mother and Yumi's parents. "Let us show you around, we'll start with the kitchen." Sachiko said as she led them past the stairs and into the kitchen. "So this is the kitchen it stretches across the whole backside of the house though that part over there is more of an area for a table. You have access to the two rooms that were on either side of the front door though."
"Oh gosh, your kitchen is nicer than ours at home." Mrs. Fukazawa commented as she looked around at everything. The black marble counter tops and brand new looking cabinets had her a little jealous. Not to mention how new the fridge and stove looked, she wondered if anyone had even touched them ever.
"Wow, this is really nice." Sayako commented as Sachiko looked around with Yumi.
"Yes, unfortunately there isn't much to show right now because the house is bare, but soon it will be filled with things." Sachiko said as she led Yumi towards the hallway back to the front door. "Why don't we go upstairs, we can show you our bedroom, though admittedly it isn't too much to see empty."
"Oh hush, this is very exciting, it's my daughter's first house." Sayako said as Sachiko smiled, she was glad that her mother was acting normal around her. It seemed she really was alright with her and Yumi's relationship.
"Thank you." Yumi answered for Sachiko as they approached the top of the stairs. "Would you mind taking a look around by yourselves for a minute? I would like a word with Sachiko." Yumi said as their parents nodded and walked past them and down the hall.
Yumi pulled Sachiko into their bedroom and shut the door quietly before joining her in the middle of the room. "Your mother seems alright with out relationship, but I am curious as to what you think. I don't want you to be uncomfortable." Yumi said as Sachiko smiled at her and took her hands.
"I am not uncomfortable Yumi, I am very happy that she accepts you as my lover. . . I am just a little disappointed that my father can't see the same." Sachiko said with a sigh as she looked into Yumi's eyes. ". . .That being said, I am still happier than I have ever been knowing that this house is ours. I regret nothing except the fact that we didn't meet sooner." Sachiko continued as Yumi smiled and stood to her toes giving Sachiko and warm and loving kiss.
"I think this is the master bedroom." Mrs. Fukuzawa said before pushing open the door and finding Sachiko and Yumi lost in a kiss. Without any further words she quietly shut the door and turned to her husband and Sayako who had seen everything. "Why don't we just give them a moment?"
Sachiko smiled as she broke the kiss and gave Yumi a hug. "I love you, Yumi. . . Now let's go find our parents, I'm sure they've seen the other rooms by now." Sachiko said as she pulled away from the hug and Yumi nodded.
Sachiko blushed a tiny bit when she opened the door and saw their parents waiting outside of it smiling when they saw her. "Have you seen the rest of the floor?" Sachiko asked as their parents nodded.
"Yes, we were just giving you a moment to finish up to see this room." Sayako said as Sachiko's blush deepened a little.
"I-I see. . ." Sachiko said knowing that they had probably seen them kissing. "Well we are finished up so please come take a look, this is our room." Sachiko said as she held the door open for their parents to walk in. Yumi couldn't help but join Sachiko's blush a little when her mother gave her a small smirk.
"Oh wow, this has quite a bit of space. . . You even have your own bathroom." Sayako said as Sachiko nodded.
"Yes, the connected bathroom is definitely a feature that helped us with the decision of buying the place." Sachiko explained as she grinned at Yumi a tiny bit. Yumi knew what this meant she hadn't forgot how Sachiko had made her pose in the doorway.
"Probably more than it should have." Yumi added as she rolled her eyes at Sachiko.
"It's the small features that matter." Mrs. Fukuzawa said as she made her way into the bathroom to look around.
"Your mother is right, Yumi. Things like that can make the difference." Sachiko said with a smirk as Yumi smiled and slowly made her way over behind Sachiko placing her arms around her waist.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a few small differences myself." Yumi whispered in Sachiko's ear as their parents emerged from the bathroom.
"You two are inseparable." Sayako said with a smile as she reentered the room with Yumi's parents. "I'm glad you two are together. . . Now is anyone hungry? I would love to take everyone out to lunch, it's the least I can do for the other night."
"You don't have to do that." Yumi said as Sayako shook her head.
"No, I insist, it's the least I can do. Your family took Sachiko in without hesitation and you have stood by her side and helped her through all of this. . . I wouldn't mind spending more time with you either, I would like to hear more about your relationship."
"I think that is a great idea. . . You girls didn't have any plans did you?" Mrs. Fukuzawa asked knowing this might be a great time for Sachiko and Sayako to repair any damages from the other night. She wouldn't be lying either if she said she felt bad that Sayako didn't know much about her own daughter's relationship.
Sachiko just looked back to Yumi who was still clung to the back of her before looking back to her mother and smiling. "Lunch it is then."
Several hours later. . .
Yumi groaned before yawning and falling back onto her bed. Lunch had turned into a pretty long event with the girls sharing many things about their relationship. Sayako had learned how it all started, how long they had been together, the fact that Yumi had officially proposed to her and so much more.
Naturally all of this took quite a bit of time and thus the girls didn't get to return home to Yumi's parents house until around dinner time.
"Whew, I never knew we had so much to tell someone about us." Yumi said as Sachiko finished changing into a loose fitting shirt and a pair of shorts. She didn't usually do this but both girls agreed on the way back that they would just stay in for the night and finish what they were doing the night before, which was watch movies.
"I know, it's like we've both experienced two full lives." Sachiko said as she climbed onto the bed and laid down next to Yumi.
Yumi took advantage of this and scooted right up to Sachiko's side, resting her head on Sachiko's shoulder. "You're right, but ever since we've started dating we have made hundreds of memories. Many I wouldn't dare tell your mother. I think it just goes to show how long we've been together and how happy we've both been." Yumi explained as Sachiko nodded.
"Yes, you're right when you think about it like that. Ever since we started dating, it feels like I have seen you everyday, not that I'm complaining. I wouldn't know what to do if I stayed away from you that long. Besides, I want you to be with me when I'm out and about, even if it is just mundane tasks, you are my wife and I want you with me." Sachiko said as Yumi smiled and moved a bit to give her a kiss which last longer than intended. Both girls found themselves not wanting to separate and instead lingered as Yumi's hands rested on Sachiko's hips.
Bzzt. . .
Both girls jumped a little bit at the sound that broke the kiss, it was Sachiko's phone buzzing from receiving a text message. "Perfect timing, Onee-sama." Sachiko said under her breath as she saw Youko's name flash on the screen.
Yumi just giggled a little before sitting up and scooting towards the edge of the bed. "It was bad timing, but maybe it was good, after all we may have ended up missing another movie night." Yumi said as Sachiko sighed a little before nodding. Yumi was right, they both knew those were the steps towards doing what they did the night before. "So which one do you want to watch?" Yumi asked as she held up three different movies for Sachiko to choose from.
"How about that one." Sachiko said as Yumi picked it out and put in the dvd player before rejoining Sachiko on the bed. "Just think in a few days we will be able to do this in our own bedroom at our own home."
Yumi smiled at the thought as the opening credits played. "Saying it only makes me want to move in right now." Yumi joked as she leaned close to Sachiko resting her head on Sachiko's shoulder again.
"How about we do it tomorrow then? It's not like we have any furniture or anything, it's mostly just clothes and things that can fit in the car. We could always go shopping tomorrow morning and find a bed, that way we could stay there tomorrow." Sachiko said as Yumi looked up to her thinking about everything she had just said before smiling.
"That sounds like a good idea."
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow we will try and move into the new house."
A/N: So first you've probably noticed that I went back to Several hours later. . . instead of -X-X- or . . . I felt that the last two were kind of confusing and didn't help much with what was going on. I didn't realize it until this chapter but with the way I like to start most scenes it's a pretty valuable tool for setting the time, location, whatever really. Now, I was saying that I was going back and forth about this. I've been thinking recently about the part where the parents looked around the upstairs while sachiko and yumi were in their bedroom. Typically looking around a house can take awhile, but in this it was rather fast. It didn't feel right to me but I thought that having pointless conversation that didn't matter wasn't what should be seen. Sayako was the other major part, I know some will probably ask what happened with her and Touro, it will be answered later. Truthfully, I see maybe 1 or 2 more chapters from this story. Instead of dragging it out like I did with it started in her dreams, I am going to jump on certain points quickly and get them over with. This whole chapter is kind of a way for me to set that up. Anyways, I could write a 10000 word A/N about my thoughts on this chapter and story, but I doubt you would want to see that. If you do though send me a PM, I love talking about that stuff. Just ask Canaanalphardforever or Maldytah, they've both sat through my ramblings quite a bit.
