A/N: Thank you for the reviews. The first part of their date was a silly chapter. I don't know how to describe this next part. Is this chapter funny or cheesy? You decide.

THE DATE
Part II

After a few minutes of that death-defying, life-risking, hair-raising, scary ride, Yumi felt the car slowing down. She was surprised when she realized where they were headed.

'This isn't what I had in mind but if this is what Oneesama wanted, then I guess it's alright.'

Yumi expected that Sachiko had prepared something special and romantic like a date on the mall or a stroll in an underwater park or even a date at the zoo. But her fantasies were shattered when a fast-food restaurant came into view.

'Maybe Oneesama finds our Valentines date so memorable so she wants us to repeat it.'

It didn't really matter where they'll go. As long as they're together, Yumi will be happy. But still, a fast-food restaurant on the "first date"? That was so unromantic! Yumi can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

And just when the smaller girl thought the car would be stopping any moment, they passed the parking lot and that confused her. The car continued driving at slow speed until it turned into a driveway. Yumi was shocked when she recognized the signage they passed. It was an arrow pointing into the direction they were driving into and below the arrow was the sign "Drive-thru".

Unbelievable! Who would have thought that Sachiko Ogasawara was aware that such a thing exists? Wasn't it just a few months ago when she tasted fast-food hamburger for the first time in her life? And because of that Yumi had the impression that her Oneesama was an alien, right? After such a short period of time, Sachiko had a progress, big progress. She's becoming more human or should I say more normal. Yumi was really astonished.

The car pulled up to the speaker and Sachiko clearly gave their order without even looking at the menu. It seemed she had already prepared herself on what to say.

"We'll have two cheeseburgers, two regular fries and two regular drinks please."

Yumi watched with pride as her girlfriend spoke through the speaker.

'The way Oneesama is ordering is so elegant and confident. She's so hot!'

She blushed at that thought. She couldn't help but notice how attractive and appealing her girlfriend was. And it was only then when she noticed how sexy Sachiko looked with her tight-fitting jeans and body-hugging blouse that showed every curve of her body. She didn't notice it earlier because Kashiwagi's presence made her upset and Sachiko's awful driving gave her trauma. But now that she had the time to leisurely stare at her gorgeous girlfriend, Yumi couldn't help but appreciate Sachiko's beauty. And she couldn't also help her body from blushing tremendously. Luckily, Sachiko wasn't facing her so the taller girl didn't notice Yumi's tomato-like face.

"Oneesama, have you ever been to a drive-thru before?"

Yumi asked in disbelief and fascination after Sachiko finished ordering.

"No, actually this is my first time."

Sachiko answered casually. What she said was true however, she was too shy to admit that she had done some research about it first.

"Wow! You did well, Oneesama."

"Really, you think so? Thank you Love."

Sachiko was overjoyed that she was able to impress her love.

Yumi blushed at the endearment. It reminded her of the current status of their relationship; that they were not just seours but more than seours.

The car headed to the claim window where a female staff politely greeted them. The staff said the price and Sachiko handed her credit card. Yumi was protesting; asking her Oneesama to let her pay. But Sachiko glared at her so Yumi conceded. They received their meal and drove away.

"Oneesama, where are we going to eat this?"

Yumi asked as she carefully held their meal on her lap. Sachiko was driving like she was on a racetrack again so Yumi had to grip their food tighter or else it would spill inside her Oneesama's expensive car.

"I said, it's a surprise right? But you don't have to wait that long to find out. We're almost there."

Sachiko said with a brilliant smile.

—0—

It was so peaceful and quiet as if they were in a huge cemetery. But despite the deafening silence, Yumi didn't find the place creepy. She didn't feel any fear even though they were the only ones there. On the contrary, she felt safe and secure because she was with the person she loved the most.

"Oneesama, I can't believe we we're allowed to get inside."

Yumi said with amazement.

"Shizuka-san and Shimako had their date here, so why can't we?"

Sachiko said with a soft smile.

They were inside the Rose Mansion. Earlier, Yumi was surprised when the car stopped in front of a huge familiar gate which she recognized as Lillian Academy's. Sachiko got off the car and talked to the guard on duty. After a few minutes, Sachiko's charm convinced him to let them in.

"Oneesama, what did you tell him?"

"I told him that we had some projects to do inside the Rose Mansion."

"Oneesama, you lied?"

Yumi asked scandalously.

"What, would you have preferred if I told him the truth? That I chose this place for our date because I knew that no one would be here to bother us?"

Sachiko said nonchalantly and Yumi reacted with a full blown blush that Sachiko very much appreciated.

"Thank you for the food, Oneesama."

Yumi said to change the subject. She wasn't just referring to the fast-food meal they bought from the drive-thru. Apparently, her girlfriend had prepared a picnic basket filled with delicious food and hid it inside the car trunk so Yumi was not aware of it until they got off the car.

"You didn't think I would let us eat only burgers and fries on our first date, didn't you"

Sachiko teased. She wanted to make their first date special and memorable so she carefully planned everything.

"Though I don't understand why we had to order from a drive-thru."

Yumi said with confusion.

"I just wanted to show you how much you influenced me, Yumi. Because of you I can now do ordinary things like that."

Hearing those words coming from her Oneesama was flattering for Yumi. She was always paying attention on how much Sachiko influenced her life that she failed to realize that she was also affecting her Oneesama's life.

"Yumi...Thank you."

Sachiko said sincerely. Yumi was confused for a moment. Why would Sachiko thank her when it was the taller girl who had prepared for everything?

"What are you thanking me for, Oneesama?"

"For coming to my life. If it weren't for you, I would not have experienced this kind of happiness. Do you know how fast my heart beats when we're together? Do you know that my day is incomplete without a glimpse of you?"

There was a playful smile on Sachiko's face as she was saying this so Yumi didn't know if she was really serious.

"Oneesama, please stop teasing me."

Yumi protested while blushing.

"It is not in my nature to fool around. Everything I say is true so please take me seriously."

The tall girl said sternly. Yumi was worried that she might have offended her love.

"Maybe you don't experience these things when we're together so you don't understand what I'm trying to say."

Sachiko said with a sad tone as she looked away from Yumi. Fear crossed Yumi's face at the thought that she really had gone too far.

'What have I done? She was trying to express her feelings and I was too shy to accept it. Stupid Yumi, do something!'

Yumi mentally berated herself.

"Oneesama that's not true. I understand how you feel. I have always been admiring you long before we became seours. And when you became my Oneesama, it didn't take long before that admiration turned into something more."

Yumi said emotionally as her hand reached for Sachiko's hand and held it gently. The tall girl then turned to face her.

"Oneesama, it's your face that wakes me up in the morning and the thought of you ushers me to sleep at night. Even in my dreams you're haunting me. And my whole world revolves around you because I made you the center of my life. Please don't be mad at me."

Yumi pleaded. Sachiko's face immediately brightened and a playful smile appeared again on her face.

"I'm just kidding. I already know you're head over heels for me. I just wanted to know how much."

Sachiko said with a soft chuckle. Yumi' eyes widened.

"You..you.."

"Tricked you into saying those things? Yes darling, I did. It's not fair that I'm the only one saying cheesy things in this relationship. You should also do your part."

Although Sachiko said it in a playful manner, it was enough for Yumi to understand what Sachiko wanted. Her girlfriend wanted to hear words of affection no matter how cheesy they may sound. Sachiko wanted Yumi to be more confident in expressing her love the way Sachiko had become open of her feelings. Yumi wanted to do that but something was preventing her. A part of her was still afraid of getting hurt.

"What about him?"

Yumi asked out of the blue. Her words were almost a whisper.

"Him? You mean—"

"Please don't say his name in front of me."

Yumi quickly cut Sachiko's words. She didn't want to hear that name because hearing it would only cause her pain. Personally, she refers to him as "He-who-must-not-be-named". He was not Lord Voldemort but he was the villain in Yumi's life and how she wished she could cast a spell that can make him vanish from Sachiko's life.

"Oh, you're jealous."

Sachiko said. She wasn't teasing, she was stating the obvious.

"Yes I'm jealous, in-secured and intimidated of him. Why wouldn't I be? After all he is your first love and there is nothing I can do to replace his special place in your heart. I know I don't stand a chance against him. What if he isn't really gay and realized he wanted you all along? Will you accept him?"

Yumi said with her eyes avoiding Sachiko's. The taller girl felt the pain Yumi was feeling. Yumi forced herself to ask that question even though she feared to hear the answer. She wanted to know where she stands.

"I did say I liked him. But I never said I loved him. Back then, I was fine with the idea of our marriage because I had no reason to object. He is intelligent, well-mannered, and good-looking and my family likes him. People say if he was a dress, he would fit me perfectly."

"But he told you he's gay so you cannot have him. But why would you settle for me instead? If I'm a dress I wouldn't fit you well."

"I would rather wear a simple dress that would make me feel happy and special than a fancy one that would make me look fine on the outside but empty inside."

Yumi tried to understand the depth of those words.

"How could I have loved him when I never knew what love was until I met you? Therefore, you are my first love...my first and only."

Sachiko explained as she gently caressed Yumi's cheek with the back of her hand.

"What if he isn't gay?"

Yumi asked again in a low voice.

"Nothing will change if that's the case. Do you not trust me? Do you think I would hurt you, Yumi?"

Sachiko said patiently but she said it with a stern voice and Yumi thought that Sachiko was getting annoyed. She realized that if she doesn't do anything about her insecurity, it would cause problem to their relationship.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way."

Like a child who had been scolded for asking too much, Yumi wanted to go to a corner and cry. Sachiko noticed Yumi's worried expression and she felt bad. She wanted their date to be filled with happy memories but Yumi was spoiling the moment so the tall wicked girl thought of something to change the mood.

"Yumi, if two persons who are madly in love with each other are left alone in a place where no one would hear them and with absolutely no one would bother them, what do you think they should do to kill time?"

Sachiko asked with an alarming glint in her eyes.

It sounded like a mathematical problem or an I.Q. Test so Yumi tried her best to come up with the best answer. It didn't even occur to her that Sachiko was referring to themselves and their current situation.

'What would two people do in that situation?'

Yumi asked herself.

"Uhmm..They should talk to past their time."

She answered. But that wasn't the answer her girlfriend wanted to hear.

"Yes, but what else?"

Yumi had no clue on what Sachiko was up to. And she couldn't concentrate on thinking of any other answer because Sachiko was causing a distraction. Sachiko was leaning closer and her eyes were staring straight at Yumi's. The older girl's face continued moving closer in a slow motion.

"What else, Yumi?"

Sachiko asked huskily with her lips mere inches from Yumi's. Her cool breath fanning the smaller girl's face and it sent tingle to Yumi's spine.

"W-What?"

Yumi asked after swallowing an imaginary lump in her throat.

"I'll show you."

That was Sachiko's husky response as she picked up a single fry on the table. They haven't finished eating the meal they bought. Using her fingers, Sachiko offered the fry to Yumi. The brunette shyly moved closer to take the offered food with her open mouth.

"Hold it there."

Sachiko said when she let go of the fry. Like a cigarette in Yumi's mouth, part of it was inside and the other part, outside. Then, Sachiko started raining kisses on Yumi's cheek. Dragging her lips down to Yumi's jaw, then kissing her chin. After a few more kisses on the chin, her kisses moved upwards on Yumi's other cheek.

Yumi remained seated like a statue as her girlfriend continued ravishing her face with affectionate kisses. They had never been this intimate and Yumi had a feeling that Sachiko was just getting started. Her body was trembling with excitement and nervousness.

When Sachiko's hand held her neck tighter while applying more pressure on her kisses, Yumi moaned and unintentionally bit the fry that was between her teeth. But because her mouth remained closed, the fry didn't fall.

Sachiko pulled away slightly to look Yumi in the eyes. She saw the burning desire in those hazel orbs mirroring the same desire in her own eyes. Sachiko deliberately moved her face closer slowly to take the other half of the fry with her open mouth. As she moved closer, the gap between them became shorter and Yumi closed her eyes, expecting Sachiko's lips to touch hers. With only a few millimeters separating them, Sachiko stopped and bit the fry.

Yumi opened her eyes in confusion and saw Sachiko properly sitting on her seat, sipping at her straw.

It was like what happened earlier inside the car. Yumi couldn't help but wonder whether Sachiko was teasing her or she was just too shy to kiss her on the lips.

Sachiko looked calm but in truth her body was on fire. She used every bit of strength she had to control her desire.

"Come, I have something to show you."

Sachiko said after drinking the cold refreshment she needed to put out the fire inside of her.

—0—

There was a statue of a crucified Jesus Christ and on its left was a full-colored statue of Maria. And to its right, a stained-glass window of brilliant colors. Long, wooden benches were on either side of the passage down to the middle. They were in the sanctuary inside Lillian Academy.

"Oneesama, what are we doing here?"

Yumi was bewildered.

"You're here to watch a performance."

Sachiko said smiling as she continued walking down the isle with Yumi in tow.

"Sit here."

Sachiko said, motioning Yumi to sit on the front bench.

Yumi obeyed and waited for Sachiko to sit with her but Sachiko just smiled and headed towards the organ.

'She's going to play the organ for me?'

Yumi thought with surprise and flattery. No one else was there because it was Sunday.

"I remember so well how I became her fan,

She looked like an angel when I saw her play the organ."

That line ran in Sachiko's head as she walked towards the organ. It was a line from Yumi's poem for her. The poem that Sachiko completely memorized by heart. She wanted to see how Yumi looked at her that day.

Sachiko sat in front of the organ and started playing Guno's Ave Maria, the same piece she played during last year's welcoming ceremony sponsored by the Yamayurikai . She played this piece for the previous freshmen but now she was playing it exclusively for Yumi.

"Her music was so divine that it captured this heart of mine.

And her face was so serene, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

Yumi recalled this line as she listened intently to the beautiful melody Sachiko was playing. That music that was so divine sounded more captivating than the first time she heard it. Her captured heart was beating wildly as it acknowledges the presence of its captor. Yumi was hypnotized by the music and by the serene face of an angel playing the organ. That angelic creature met her gaze and Yumi's heart melted.

'My blue-eyed angel'

She thought to herself as she continued to drown into that majestic sapphire gaze. The first time she witnessed this performance, Yumi felt admiration . She wanted to be like Sachiko or to get even an inch closer to being that person. But now, her desire had changed, she doesn't want to be like Sachiko anymore, and she wants to keep Sachiko for herself. It was her deepest desire.

Her angel stopped playing but the music remained echoing on Yumi's heart. She could still hear it as Sachiko was slowly approaching her.

"Did you like my performance, Love?"

Sachiko asked with a soft smile as she stood in front of Yumi. The younger girl just stared up at her with a mesmerized expression. She didn't even realized the tears falling from her eyes. She was only awakened from her dreamy state when she felt a soft hand caressing her cheek, wiping her tears away.

"I love you."

Yumi subconsciously blurted out as she held that hand that was cupping her cheek. Sachiko smiled warmly. She grasped Yumi's hand and guided her to stand up. After a few steps, they were standing in front of the altar. They stood there, facing each other with hands intertwined.

"In front of Maria-sama I asked you to be my seour. She was there watching when I placed my rosary on your neck, making you part of my life. Do you remember that night?"

"Yes, I do."

"And now, here, in front of her, and her Son and our God Almighty, I am pouring out my heart to you. Here I am, all of me, loving you completely. You know why?"

"..."

"Because you...complete me."

Sachiko said with sincerity. That confession quickly wiped away any lingering doubt left on Yumi's heart. She couldn't find the right words to describe what she was feeling. It seemed that there wasn't any word that could explain her emotion so she chose a better way to express her happiness.

Without thinking, or having any hesitation, Yumi placed both of her hands on Sachiko's shoulder. She tip-toed and kissed the taller girl. It was a quick and gentle kiss like the one she gave to Sachiko one afternoon inside the latter's homeroom. The difference was that Yumi didn't kiss Sachiko on the cheek but on the lips.

Sachiko was taken by surprise by this bold action and before she could have reacted to that wonderful sensation she felt, Yumi pulled away.

"I love you Sachiko."

Yumi said with great conviction as she locked her gaze with her girlfriend's eyes.

Hearing Yumi say her name without any honorific sounded beautiful in Sachiko's ears. And the three words that came before it added to its beauty.

Instead of saying anything in response, Sachiko expressed herself through actions.

Her hands held the smaller girl's waist pulling her body closer. Her head tilted down and captured Yumi's lips with a firm kiss.

Yumi's hand that were on the taller girl's shoulders moved and settled on Sachiko's nape and pulled down her girlfriend's face towards her. Sachiko was pleased with this action and when she felt Yumi kissing her back she couldn't help but return that kiss with more passion. Though they were both beginners when it came to kissing, it didn't matter because they're kisses were manifestation of their love so everything felt right and wonderful.

To be continued...

A/N: I'm sorry if I'm going to leave you hanging. I tried to continue this but every time I try writing something, my mind wonders off to other things. I'm facing a lot of problems lately so I think it's going to take me several months (maybe a year) to update this story. I don't know how long it will take but I promise I'll be back to finish what I started here. I just hope you will still remember this fic by then. Goodbye for now my friends.
