Yumi awoke in a panic when she felt something brush against her chest. Taking stock of the situation, she forcibly calmed herself once she realized it was Sachiko's arm. She looked over at the sleeping girl. Yumi was always amazed that someone so beautiful could love someone as plain as herself. Deep down, Yumi still felt like the same shy, clumsy, first year fan girl, she was five years ago. 'How did I get so lucky?' she thought thanking whatever power brought the two of them together.
She stiffened when the wave of panic returned as Sachiko's arm shifted and a soft hand cupped her right breast. 'It's only Sachiko.' Yumi told herself and made herself relax. She had to get a handle on her reactions. If she reacted this way when her girlfriend was awake, the older girl would be disappointed and take it the wrong way. Yumi's heart ached. She wanted so much for Sachiko to touch her the way she did, before 'IT' happened. Her mind wandered to the last time they were truly intimate. She felt a tingle below her waist as she thought about the pleasure those hands brought to her. Slowly, so as not to disturb her partner sleeping next to her, she brought her left hand between her legs. She moaned softly as she lightly ran her hand up and down the outside of her panties.
Sachiko awoke feeling movement next to her. Opening her eyes to the dim light shining through the windows, she noticed the state Yumi was in. The younger girl's eyes were closed, and she was making soft moaning sounds, biting her lip in an effort to keep quiet. Sachiko stayed quite still as she looked at Yumi, so as not to embarrass her girlfriend. 'I wish that was my hand,' she thought as her palms itched to touch the brown-haired girl next to her. Suddenly she felt Yumi stiffen, as the girl let out a long, soft moan, before becoming totally slack, breathing heavily. Sachiko closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep before the younger girl noticed. Sachiko stayed that way until Yumi got out of bed and left the room.
Sachiko rolled onto her back and reveled in the image of her lover, deep in the throes of pleasure, and thought sadly, 'Will I ever be able to make her feel like that again?' Sachiko sighed as she sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Hearing sounds from the kitchen, the older girl decided to go out and see if there was anything she could do to help.
"Good morning Yumi." Sachiko said, smiling, as she walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning," Yumi responded, busy scrambling up some eggs. "If you want to take the tea to the table and sit down, breakfast is almost ready."
Sachiko picked up the tray holding the teapot and cups, and brought it over to the low table. The older girl knelt down and poured tea for the both of them, before settling herself in, thinking, 'When all this is settled, I am definitely getting a western style table and chairs.'
Yumi came over with their eggs and toast. Sachiko set the plates on the low table after taking them from the younger girl. The brown-haired girl made herself comfortable, while she watched her girlfriend take the first bite. "This is delicious, my love," Sachiko said smiling. "You spoil me." Yumi beamed at the compliment then started eating her own breakfast.
"Do you have any plans for today, Yumi?" Sachiko asked after they were both finished eating.
Yumi took a sip of her tea and answered, "I was just planning on going into school, set up my classroom and work on lesson plans. You are welcome to come with me."
"I'd like that, if it wouldn't be a bother for you." Sachiko stated. "I have a meeting at two o'clock, so I won't be able to stay all day," the older girl added.
"I'd love your company, my dear. But be warned, I may be putting you to work." Yumi responded mischievously.
"As you wish, Fukuzawa-sensei." Sachiko retorted, "I'll clean up the dishes. Why don't you get ready." The older girl started collecting the plates while Yumi headed for the bathroom.

Yumi clapped her hands in excitement when she entered her classroom. Although it was just an ordinary classroom, like many others, with a blackboard and desks; to Yumi it signified a new adventure. The first thing the girls did upon entering was to move the teacher's desk from the front of the classroom over to the corner, angled so that it faced both the door and the student's desks. As Yumi was taking inventory and compiling a list of supplies she would need, Sachiko left and returned with a bucket of water and some cloths. She began washing down the student's desks. When she finished she walked over to Yumi and said her name softly, before gently wrapping her arms around her girlfriend from behind, resting her chin on the younger girl's shoulder. "Your students will be the luckiest children in the school," Sachiko whispered into Yumi's ear.
"Why do you think that, love?" Yumi inquired.
"Because they have the most amazing teacher in the school," the older girl answered.
"I think you're just biased from love, Sachiko." Yumi retorted, blushing.
"I'm completely serious, Yumi," Sachiko stated explaining. "Before I met you, I was cold, hiding behind an emotionless exterior. I didn't even know what love was, let alone how to handle it when I found out. You, with your wide eyes, innocent smile, and infinite patience, showed me all that and more. Your great, big heart wrapped itself around mine and unfroze it. In my last conversation with him, my grandfather belittled love, saying it doesn't matter. But it does matter to me now. I don't think I could survive without it, without you, anymore."
Yumi leaned back into her lover's embrace, enjoying the closeness and warmth from it. "I don't think that I would fare much better without you either. Sachiko, my love."
Sachiko released Yumi after giving her one more gentle squeeze. "Let me help you with that," she said as she picked up her cloth and started washing the board from the other end.
After the room was straightened and organized, the two girls broke for lunch. They ate silently, enjoying each others company. When they were done Sachiko asked, "What are your plans for the rest of the day?"
"There are some more things I want to get done here. I want to go over the curriculum and set up a couple of lesson plans. I want to walk around and get a feel for the school. And later I am going to have to stop at a store and get some supplies." Yumi answered.
"If you'll give me your list, I'll get the supplies after my meeting. I'll be over in that area anyways." Sachiko offered.
"That would be wonderful," the younger girl said, handing over her shopping list. "Thanks dear."
Sachiko took the list and stood up. "I'd best be going. Onee-sama will be picking me up." The older girl collected her things and started to leave. When she reached the door, she turned and asked her partner, "Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"
Yumi smiled as she looked up and answered, "Sure, I'd love to."
"Good. See you later," the older girl said as she left the room.

The old man looked at his watch again. It read 13:55. 'Five more minutes and I'll find out who's behind this,' he thought angrily as he sipped his tea trying to calm himself. He looked down at the slip of paper on the table. On it was written the name of this cafe, 14:00, and the words "Don't be late." He took another sip and shuddered, thinking about how he came by that note this morning.
*** FLASHBACK ***
He had just walked five steps into the hotel room, when he heard the door slam closed and lock behind him. Before he could turn around, he found himself knocked to the floor and his arms roughly cuffed behind him. After he was secured, he was flipped over, as if he was a sack of potatoes, and he was staring at a very muscular man wearing nothing but a black, leather hood hiding his features.
"You're not Miko-chan," the old man said, referring to his favorite call girl he had a regular appointment with.
"Miko-chan sends her regrets," the big stranger stated. "I guess you'll just have some fun with me instead," he added as he undid the old man's trousers and pulled them off.
"W-W-What are you doing?" the elderly CEO stammered.
The big man pulled him up off the floor and started pushing him toward the side of the bed, saying, "As I said, we are going to have some fun. I hear you like it rough." The stranger pushed the older man down to his knees and bent him over until his chest met the mattress.
"P-Please let me go. I'll give you anything you want," the older man begged.
The muscular man knelt behind the bound man and said, "Smile pretty for the camera."
The old man looked up and stared wide-eyed at the video camera mounted on tripod, across the other side of the bed. He flinched when he felt strong hands slowly pull down his boxers, then spread his cheeks. He let out an agonizing scream as he felt himself being penetrated. He had tried to prepare himself for the pain, but he didn't expect the searing agony as he was impaled by the man with the mask. He wept and howled and begged for mercy with each successive thrust from the bigger man. Finally her heard a grunt from behind as his assailant reached his peak. Soon thereafter, the older man sighed as the offending body part was removed.
The elderly man heard movement and opened his tear filled eyes to see his assailant packing up the video camera and tripod. The hooded man then approached him with a piece of paper. "I was told to give you this and tell you, 'If you don't want this video released you had better make that meeting'" The big man then unlocked the handcuffs binding his arms.
The older man didn't even attempt to move until his hooded friend got dressed and left the hotel room.
*** END FLASHBACK ***
Ogasawara-sama took another sip of tea with his trembling hands. As he peered over the lip of the cup, he spotted his son and granddaughter accompanied by another black-haired woman. The three of them were approaching his table.
He addressed them as they neared, "Tooru, Sachiko, I'd ask you to join me, but I am meeting somebody."
"We are your meeting, grandfather," Sachiko said venomously. "I heard you had an enjoyable morning." She added dripping with sarcasm.
The older man looked at his granddaughter red faced with anger and embarrassment and said furiously, "Y-You set that up! Why would you do such a thing to me! I swear, I'll make you pay for that!"
"You'll do no such thing, if you want that video to remain private, pervert." Sachiko stated. "Also, I wanted you to experience exactly what Yumi felt as you raped her."
"I did no such thing," the old man denied vehemently.
Sachiko refuted him calmly, "We have DNA evidence matching yours. We also have the video from the hidden camera showing you in the act. So no more of your lies and excuses, old man."
Resigning himself to the inevitable, the elder Ogasawara asked, "What do you want?"
Sachiko looked at Youko and nodded. The older girl reached into her briefcase and pulled out a folio, handing it over to the other girl. Sachiko opened the folio and placed a piece of paper in front of the older man and handed him a pen. "This agreement nullifies the marriage contract Yumi signed and cancels the engagement. If you will sign where indicated." The old man read the document in front of him quickly, signed it, and passed it back to his granddaughter. Sachiko looked it over and handed it to Youko. "You will also be retiring, grandfather. This next agreement transfers total control of the Ogasawara Group over to my father, you will step down as CEO and you will move out of the mansion."
"You can't be serious!" The old man raged. "I built that company. It's mine."
"Your time is past, Father. Your methods are old and ineffective. Your actions are abominable. You have no sense of honor nor ethics anymore. Go gracefully, or do you want that video released to the public?" Tooru told his elder.
The older Ogasawara bowed his head in embarrassment at the mention of the video and asked, "And what will become of me?"
"You'll retire to a nice house in the country, all household expenses will be paid for by the company, and you'll have a modest allowance for personal use. You will want for nothing, father." Tooru explained.
After a long wait for the old man to decide, Sachiko said, "I've have enough. He canceled the engagement. I have what I want." The black-haired beauty took out her phone.
"All right, already," the old man said disgustedly. "Where do you want me to sign?" Sachiko put down her phone and placed the second agreement in front of him, which he signed and handed back, saying, "Are we done here?"
Sachiko took the document and passed it over to Youko, along with the folio. "One thing more, grandfather. If anything unexplained happens to any of us, the video will be released regardless of any agreement. Do I make myself clear?" She asked assertively.
"Yes Sachiko, like crystal," the old man answered coldly as he stood up, but before he walked away, he added. "In a way, I'm proud of you. You're as cold and calculating as me."
After the old man left, Sachiko turned to her father and said, "Take Youko with you and get these recorded. I have some shopping to do before I pick up Yumi for dinner."
"Why don't you take the car and driver. I can get a cab home when I'm done," Tooru offered.
Sachiko got up and bowed her head, "Thank you for being so supportive Father."
"It's what fathers do," the older man responded. Sachiko smiled before walking away to do the shopping she promised to do.

"Are you ready?" Yumi asked her girlfriend who had just returned home about a half and hour ago.
"Just about," Sachiko replied before making last minute adjustments to the outfit she was wearing.
"Don't you look gorgeous," Yumi said as her girlfriend walked out of the bedroom, sporting a very elegant blue dress.
Sachiko blushed at the younger girl's compliment. "You look rather ravishing yourself," Sachiko said gazing at Yumi wearing an ivory version of the same dress.
"I don't know why you had to buy us these expensive dresses, just for a dinner date?" Yumi asked her older companion.
"Because we are going to a special place, for a special dinner," Sachiko explained then added. "And before you ask why, I need to tell you that it is a surprise." Sachiko grabbed her purse and waited by the door. "Ready?"
Yumi nodded her head and followed Sachiko out the door and to the car. The driver held the door open for them, while the two girls entered, shutting it behind them. He got behind the wheel and they drove off.
Yumi wanted to question her girlfriend about the whole situation, but refrained, knowing that Sachiko wouldn't be giving her any more information. She might as well just sit back, relax, and let it happen.
When they arrived at the very elegant, very expensive restaurant, the driver let them out of the car and they entered through the doors. Sachiko gave her name to the maitre'd and the two lovely women were immediately escorted to a discreet table in the back of the restaurant. There Sachiko and Yumi were given menus and told that their waiter would be with them shortly.
The waiter came over while the two women were still deciding on what to order. Sachiko sent him back after requesting a bottle of champagne, and the girls finalized their selections. The waiter returned with the champagne and poured each girl a glass before taking their order. Once the waiter headed back toward the kitchen, Sachiko raised her glass and said, "To freedom." Yumi lifted her own glass, touched it to her girlfriend's, and took a sip of the bubbly liquid. Yumi nearly spat it back out once she realized the full implications of Sachiko's toast.
"You mean ..." Yumi exclaimed as she put her glass back on the table.
Sachiko smiled inwardly at her love's confusion. "Yes, your engagement has been nullified. The wedding canceled. Finally, no one is getting married." She said with a twinkle in her eyes. "We are finally free."
"But how?" Yumi asked astonished.
"Let's just say that circumstances caused the situation to change drastically, and my father and I were able to apply some pressure to obtain a favorable outcome. Let's leave it at that." Sachiko explained, trying to avoid talking about the distasteful details of the negotiations.
Yumi beamed, and raised her glass to propose her own toast. "To my knight in shining armor," she said. Sachiko smiled, raising her own glass to meet Yumi's, completing the toast. Just then their meals arrived and the two girls set about eating their food.
After the dinner plates were cleared away, Sachiko looked at the brown-haired girl across from her and said, "Yumi?"
"Yes, my love." Yumi answered.
Sachiko took a deep breath and spoke. "Yumi, you are my life and my love. Everything good in my life is directly related to you." She reached into her purse and took out a small box and continued, "You complement me. Would you be my partner for life." Sachiko finished as she opened the box revealing a diamond ring.
Yumi stared at the ring, open mouthed, then looked deep into her lover's eyes. Blushing she answered the older girl, "Yes Sachiko, I would be honored."
Sachiko took hold of Yumi's hand and placed the ring on her finger, bringing Yumi's hand to her lips and placing a soft kiss on her palm. "I love you, Yumi. Forever." the older girl said adoringly.
"I love you too Sachiko. Always." Yumi responded and leaned over the table to plant a kiss firmly on Sachiko's lips.
Sachiko broke off the kiss, winked at Yumi and said mischievously, "Let's go home."
