A/N: Hi and welcome to a new update! Since all the anime I'm currently following aired already and due to the lots of reviews that I got (new record for a chapter, thank you very much for each one of them) I decided to finish revising this chapter and publish it today, you see? all those reviews paid off. I also want to thank you all of you that are currently reading the omake of this story I hope you continue liking and reviewing my work, it motivates me to write and update faster.
MsgmSY: Lol! sometimes things turn out to be different than expected. But no worries, everything would be fine, just take a deep breath and enjoy the ride.
Robyn893: I'm a YumixSachiko shipper so have some faith, thanks for reading.
SY: I'm glad you like my work, it makes me happy, as I said, have some faith.
dinnca: Yo se que Yumi y Sachiko no han avanzado mucho ultimamente pero es que hay tanto drama involucrado que ha hecho sus interacciones algo distantes, pero ya van a empezar a resolver sus problemas y por tanto su relacion mejorara, eso espero jejeje. Y bueno Sei sabe que deberia darle un respiro a Sachiko, pero es que le divierte demasiado fastidiarla. Con respecto a la tia y prima de Sachiko bueh, habra que esperar un poco para esa revelacion, pero va en proceso. Shimako es linda y angelical pero pues...lee el capitulo y lo sabras. Gracias por leerme.
mimingkarose: Lol! ShimakoxSachiko is an unusual pairing but it might be possible. Yumi better put a leash on her woman, lol. My YoukoxSei has to wait a little more because Oh Sister! is taking over my thoughts so when I finish this one then. Thanks for reading all my crazy things.
Sghui: Thank you for reading and don't worry, Sachiko and Yumi will have more moments starting on this chap.
guest: No worries, those are coming.
Teacher Yumi: Dense Sachiko makes my day, lol. Yumi jealous is very interesting to write, I enjoyed it a lot. BTW, update your story, please! I'm a waiting fan of Still's chap 11.
sagacitylust: Shimako for the win, lol. Yup, I know my character count is high but I have outlines of my chapters and character descriptions. The thing is that, when I started this story I have a clear idea of how I wanted things and I stuck to it, of course I take some crazy turns on the road but I try to read and reread my work to avoid loose ends. All the characters are kinda fussy right now and that is why I'm writing an omake, to distract them lol. I won't abandon any of my fics so no worries, I will try to stick to my weekly update schedule as much as possible so rest assured. I hope you write a new fic soon, though. I love reading and marimite has been neglected so much and I already read all the completed stories we have here en FFN.
Guest: Shimako deserves some loving too, lol. And yes, either Touko or Noriko would be in this story but you'll have to wait a little for them, remember that Sachiko and Rei are about to start their first high school year. Sachiko's cousin will remain a mystery for now, sorry...
SUPER ANONIMO: Hola y gracias por leerme y tomar el tiempo para dejar un comentario. Sachiko tiene sus razones para ser como es aunque no la justifico, pero ella siempre se ha caracterizado por reaccionar de manera exagerada y es justamente lo que esta haciendo. Tanto Touko como Noriko apareceran cuando Sachiko y Rei pasen a segundo ano y pues apenas van a empezar el primero. Yumi y Sachiko necesitan aclarar todos los malentendidos y en eso se ira enfocando la historia para que su relacion progrese.
lili: Jajajaja deberias escribir! me rei mucho con tu comentario, te invito a que leas y veas si alguna de tus predicciones se hizo realidad, gracias por leerme y comentar.
VolpineGrinz: Thank you for reading so far, I'm glad you like my work. I never thought Shimako had it in her, I guess she's just attracted to beautiful things and, in this case, people. Yumi is flabbergasted because it is the first time that all her sister's attention is not focused on her and that makes her confused and mad, of course. I'm really happy that you enjoy my chapters this much, enjoy the new chap.
Again thank you for all your reviews they motivated me so much that I couldn't stop writing. This chap is a little longer than the previous one and I hope you like it as much as you've enjoyed the others.
Enjoy!
Imaginary solutions
After Sachiko finished breakfast she walked to her room to grab her things. She still had fifteen minutes to spare but she was a very punctual being. So she took her bags and walked towards Lillian's gate.
I hope I can get some answers from Yumi, we definitely need to sit down and talk…On the other hand, I felt a peculiar connection with Shimako-san, I wonder about that…
"You're early, Sachiko-san"
"Rosa Gigantea" the dark haired Fukuzawa greeted with a serious tone before bowing slightly.
Great, now I am alone with this nuisance of a woman…
"Ouch, so cold" Sei chuckled while Sachiko rolled her eyes exasperatedly "Now Sachiko" the blonde's expression grew serious "we haven't had a chance to talk after what happened, but I want to clarify some facts"
"Regarding?" the younger Fukuzawa raised her right eyebrow questionably
"What happened between Yumi-chan and you that rainy evening?"
"That is none of your business" Sachiko crossed her arms around her chest and gave Sei a cold glare, the blonde didn't mind.
"Oh, but it is" Sei got closer to the dark haired teen and whispered "since the moment you made Yumi-chan cry and Youko worry, it is my business, Sachiko…-san"
"It is a family affair, Rosa Gigantea" the dark haired Fukuzawa took a step back, Sei was really invading her personal space and she didn't like it at all.
"Oh, but that is where you are wrong dear Sachiko-san" the blonde stepped forward and locked eyes with the younger Fukuzawa before continuing "since the moment Yumi-chan accepted Youko's rosary she became part of the roses and we roses stick together and help each other, so…" Sei put a hand on Sachiko's shoulder "clear your misunderstandings with Yumi-chan and stop hurting her. Don't make me regret carrying you on my back that rainy night".
"It…it was you?" Sachiko's eyes widened, she didn't remember that.
Now I am in debt with that…that…obnoxious woman…Sachiko sighed frustrated.
"You're welcome" Sei smiled brazenly before turning serious again "remember what we talked, apologize to Yumi and honestly Sachiko…" the blonde leaned and whispered on Sachiko's ear "grow up and stop being an annoying brat" Sei took a step back and gave the dark haired Fukuzawa her biggest smile before turning around, she had heard steps approaching.
"You~ko~chan, let me help you with that" the blonde walked away and helped her girlfriend. Rosa Chinesis looked at the pensive Sachiko and glared at Sei.
"What did you tell Sachiko-san, Sei?"
"Nothing dear, just reminded her to apologize and fix everything up" the blonde lied with a smile.
"I really hope that you just told her that" Youko sighed "I don't want to see my petite soeur crying anymore" Rosa Chinesis approached Sachiko and greeted her.
"Are you ready Sachiko-san?"
"Yes, Rosa Chinesis" the dark haired Fukuzawa bowed and smiled politely "have you seen my sister?"
Now you refer Yumi as your sister again, that is certainly good…Youko smiled at her thought
"She was almost ready and told me that she would join us in a couple of minutes" Rosa Chinesis smiled "You can leave your things here and go get her if you want"
"Thank you Rosa Chinesis, I will" Sachiko bowed once again "now if you excuse me, Youko-sama, Rosa Gigantea" the dark haired Fukuzawa turned around and left. Youko turned and glared at Sei again.
"What's the matter my dear Youko?" Rosa Gigantea scratched the back of her head nervously.
"I really hope you hadn't said anything bad to Sachiko, Sei"
"I told you already" the blonde grinned and looked at Youko innocently "I've been good You~ko~chan"
"And how about the way you woke Eriko up today?" Rosa Chinesis raised an eyebrow and smiled threateningly. Sei's smile faded.
Shit, I forgot about Eriko…
Sachiko walked all the way to the Rose Dorm, she ran into Yoshino and Rei that told her that Yumi was still at her room. The younger Fukuzawa proceeded to go up to the first floor. As she approached Yumi's room Sachiko looked around. It was her first time on this part of the dorms.
The walls were painted in light colors. On top of each door were bouquets of en bouton roses painted in different colors; each one representing the rose family the inhabitant of the room was part of. The dark haired Fukuzawa walked by the yellow rose en bouton closed door.
It's certainly locked because I just ran into Yoshino-san along with Rei-san…
The next room belonged to the Gigantea en bouton, Shimako. Sachiko was surprised to see that the door was open. As soon as she approached the door her bottom and back started to hurt. Sachiko suddenly found herself on the floor.
She opened her eyes and gasped when darkness covered everything, somebody else's hair was covering her sight. She tried to stand from the floor but a soft weight was pressing her body to the ground.
"Ouch…" Sachiko whined slightly. The weight that was against her body shifted slightly and now she could distinguish who the person she crashed against was.
"Are you alright?" Gentle grey orbs locked with azure for an instant. It was Shimako who was lying on top of Sachiko. The latter opened her mouth to reply when she heard a noise coming from the end of the hallway.
"Ahem…" a rather irritated voice exclaimed "Am I interrupting something Shimako-san, Sachiko?"
Umi…
Sachiko's eyes widened. She knew that tone, it meant trouble.
When Umi talks like that is when she's extremely mad…
Shimako smiled softly at Yumi, shook her head, slowly raised herself and then offered a hand to Sachiko who took it and stood up promptly.
"Are you alright, Sachiko-san?" asked the soft spoken white rose en bouton with a charming smile.
"I'm okay, don't worry Rosa Gigantea en bouton" Sachiko smiled politely
"Call me Shimako, Sachiko-san"
"Weren't you so eager about using our rose titles, Shimako-san? Why the sudden change, Rosa Gigantea en bouton?" said Yumi with venom in her voice. Shimako turned to look at the red rose en bouton smiled innocently.
"In fact I am but Sachiko-san is like family so there is no need to be that formal, don't you think Yumi-chan?"
Sachiko, sensing her sister's increasing rage let go of Shimako's hand and walked towards Yumi.
So Umi can be possessive too, huh?...
"I guess" Yumi opened her room door and gave her sister a tender look "Sachiko, could you help me finish packing?" the dark haired Fukuzawa only nodded and stepped into the room.
If Shimako-san thinks that she can hit on my sister, she's so mistaken. Sachiko is mine…
Yumi was surprised of her own reactions; it was the first time that somebody wanted her sister's attention and love. The older Fukuzawa didn't like that fact. She could feel how her anger rose inside her every time Shimako dared to get closer to her sister and she would not tolerate that.
"Gokigenkyo, Rosa Gigantea en bouton" Yumi uttered the last words with disdain
On the other hand, Shimako never had this kind of feelings before. She wanted to get closer to Sachiko, get to know her and maybe become a very important person in her life. She now was aware of Yumi's disproportionate possessiveness over her sister but the white rose en bouton was a patient girl, she could wait for the right chance.
Oh sweet Yumi-chan, you are only her sister after all…Shimako smiled with sarcasm.
"Gokigenkyo, Rosa Chinesis en bouton" the soft spoken white rose en bouton replied with slight scorn.
Once inside, Sachiko stared at her sister questionably "I see that you finished packing so what you need help with then, Umi?"
"I…" Yumi was mad, that upset that she wasn't able to put into words what she wanted to say
I'm extremely and absolutely jealous, I don't want anybody get close to you, Sachiko…
"You what, Umi?"
"I…" Yumi counted to ten mentally, she needed to calm down. Sachiko walked towards her sister and hugged her. After a while they separated.
"Better now?"
Yumi sighed and nodded "You looked like you needed a hug"
"I did, thank you Chiko-chan" the older Fukuzawa smiled gratefully.
"Anytime Umi" Sachiko smiled tenderly at her sister while doodling shapes on one of her sister's hands with the tip of her index finger.
"Shall we go?" Yumi smiled, entwined her hand with her sister's and handed her one of her bags.
"Of course" the dark haired teen nodded
"By the way, I left my things with your onee-sama" Sachiko's smile turned into a frown "and Rosa Gigantea" Yumi giggled at her sister jealousy.
"Why do you hate Sei-sama that much?"
"I just…dislike her" the younger Fukuzawa won't recognize that the blonde rose made her jealous to no end; she still had her pride "like you dislike Shimako-sama"
"Well, that's different Sachiko" Yumi felt how her jealousy started erupting once more.
"Different how, Umi?" the younger Fukuzawa stopped walking and Yumi looked at her puzzled "and why are you calling me 'Sachiko' all of a sudden? Did I do something to upset you, Umi?"
"Well no but…" Yumi blushed; she didn't want to recognize that she was extremely jealous
"But what?"
"Drop it okay, Chiko-chan?"
You are jealous of Shimako-sama, aren't you my Umi?...
"Sure" Sachiko smiled at her sister and continued walking, they were getting close to the gates "As soon as we are alone I want us to talk Umi, is that okay?" Sachiko whispered
"Absolutely Chiko-chan" Yumi whispered back
"Now that we are all here" Sei stated grinning "we can finally leave and I can drive"
"Oh no, you won't" Eriko looked at Youko while pointing at Sei "I don't want to be in a car driven by her, she's too reckless"
"She won't be Rosa Foetida, I assure you that"
"Oh Maria-sama why Rosa Chinesis became this whipped?" Eriko raised her gaze to the sky dramatically "we are all going to perish under the reckless Rosa Gigantea and her crazy way of driving"
"Don't be ridiculous Eriko" Sei glared at her annoying childhood classmate "I will drive properly after all, I will be driving the people I care the most…and you" Rosa Foetida glared at her and the blonde just chuckled.
"See?" Yumi whispered quietly so only her sister could hear her "Sei-sama is not that bad"
Just like an upset stomach is nice…
"Sure" grumbled Sachiko and Yumi giggled
While all the girls chatted excitedly, Rei and Sei put all the bags in the back of the van. As soon as everything was ready Yumi took Sachiko's hand and got inside the vehicle. She sat on the first row behind the driver's seat and pulled her sister with her. The dark haired Fukuzawa sat next to her sister suppressing a smile, she was really amused at her sister's behavior.
Oh Mari-sama is the first time I see my sister jealous, she really cares about me…Oh, my sweet Yumi, I really hope you haven't deceived me all these years because I have missed you so much…
"Here" Yumi handed her a bottle of water.
"Huh?" Sachiko just snapped out of her thoughts and was still confused. She looked down at the water bottle and then at Yumi's eyes and she understood "Oh…"
"It is for your pills, you get car sick easily, remember?" Yumi smiled and gave her sister a blister with two blue colored pills
You remembered! How thoughtful you are my lovely Yumi…Sachiko smiled and took the blister.
"Thank you Umi"
"Don't mention it, Chiko-chan"
Sei and Youko watched the whole interaction from the rearview mirror "I think they will make out…I mean, up! Don't you think, You~ko~chan?" the blonde pronounced the last part softly making the red rose shiver.
"I…certainly hope so, anata" Youko replied back making Sei blush, she knew how to handle her white rose after all.
As soon as the van's sliding door closed Sei started driving, it was a three hour trip if she drove nonstop but they would have to rest and have lunch on the road so the blonde calculated that it would take them around four hours to get to their destination.
Sei wanted to drive faster but she promised Youko that she wouldn't, she wanted the reward Youko promised her, after all.
I wonder if she's gonna cook for me with only an apron…Sei chuckled at her thoughts.
I bet she's picturing me with no clothes, you dirty old man…on the other hand, she might look really sexy in lingerie…Youko's eyes widened at her thoughts and a deep blush appeared on face. That didn't go unnoticed by Sei.
"Thinking about your anata naked, Rosa Chinesis?"
"Wh…what are yo…you talking about, Sei?"
"Oh for Maria-sama's sake, you totally were" the blonde feigned a surprised gasp.
"That's just no…non…nonsense" Youko feigned exasperation.
"You are stammering Youko-sama and that only happens when you are nervous about something" Sei gave her a cheeky smile.
"Stop assuming things"
"We'll see when we spent the next couple of nights in the same room, alone" Youko pretended she didn't hear Sei's last statement and sighed exasperated.
"Eyes on the road Rosa Gigantea"
"Sure You~ko~chan, sure" the blonde smiled and kept on driving within the speed limit, as she promised.
Two hours later Sei stopped the van on a rather big and known rest area, according to Youko they were two hours away from their destination and, because there was no rush, having lunch at the rest area sounded tempting.
Everybody went out of the vehicle but Yumi along with Sachiko because the latter was fast asleep. The older Fukuzawa smiled at her sleeping sister that was leaning her head on her shoulder.
She looks so peaceful and happy…
Yumi put a dark strand of hair behind her sister's ear and smiled when she frowned slightly on her dreams.
This is a side of you that I adore my Sachiko…Yumi trailed a path down her sister's face with her fingertips; she loved how velvety her sister's skin felt.
Sachiko opened her eyes lazily and smiled. That soft touch was something she has been missing for a while now. She moved closer and kissed Yumi on the cheek, really close to her lips. The brown haired teen blushed.
"Chiko-chan, let's go eat something, everybody got out of the van already" Yumi could not resist their closeness anymore and gave Sachiko a sweet kiss on the lips.
I want you to feel how much I care about you my Chiko-chan…
Sachiko kissed Yumi back softly and caressed her cheek with her hand while wrapping an arm around the older Fukuzawa waist.
Their kisses were soft and caring, there was no rush, only deep feelings expressed through their lips and they could feel how they were lost into each other's embrace. Their love was that great, pure and tender.
After few minutes they parted for air panting slightly. Yumi planted her forehead against Sachiko's and gave her a beautiful beaming smile; the one that only Sachiko had the privilege of seeing.
"We will address our misunderstandings tonight, Umi when we are alone" Sachiko wanted to continue just holding her sister tight but her grumbling stomach interrupted them, that was really uncharacteristic of her.
Her face blushed in a matter of seconds. Yumi couldn't contain her laughter any longer and burst into a fit of giggles. Sachiko was really embarrassed but, as proud as she is; she crossed her arms around her chest and looked away pouting.
"Aww Chiko-chan, don't be mad" Yumi took her sister's face between her hands and made her look at her
"You can be adorable at times, my sweet little Sachiko"
"I am taller than you" the dark haired Fukuzawa pouted slightly.
"But I'm older" Yumi gave Sachiko a peck on the lips. They were so lost in their own world that they didn't listen how the driver's door opened and a certain blonde entered the van, she had forgotten her bag and wallet in the car and she wanted to treat lunch for her beloved.
"I knew it, you sinners"
Sachiko's once jovial expression suddenly turned into a frown. She swiftly moved in front of her older sister shielding her. Yumi sighed slightly exasperated.
Everything was going so good, why are you punishing us Maria-sama?...
"Are you referring to yourself, Rosa Gigantea?" Sachiko replied angrily.
"I am not the one kissing my sister" Sei gave the couple a cheeky smile "or may I say your step sister?"
What?...How?...Sachiko opened her mouth to reply but no word came out, she was utterly flabbergasted.
"Ro…rosa Gi…Gigantea, how…how…" Yumi's eyes were big as saucers "…do you k…know that?"
"Let's put it this way" Sei's expression turned more serious "Youko's mother was Ogasawara Sayako's attorney" the blonde pointed at Sachiko "your mother" Sei grinned softly "so we know, anyways we can talk about that later, first let's eat, I'm starving and I bet you two, too"
And not only for each other's flesh…A smirking Rosa Gigantea added in her head.
"Don't you dare to…" Sachiko stated with a threatening voice but was swiftly interrupted by the white rose.
"No worries Sachiko-san, that is your secret to keep and I won't tell a soul about this"
"Thank you Sei-sama" Yumi smiled gratefully
"So now I have competition for Yu~mi~chan's heart, bummer" Sei feigned a pout.
"I think you have lost already, Rosa Gigantea" Sachiko replied arrogantly and Yumi giggled blushing.
"So little Chi~ko~chan is finally showing her true colors" Sei teased, she knew that Yumi's nickname for her sister was sacred for the younger Fukuzawa and she loathed when the blonde dared to utter it.
"Rosa Gigantea, please don't call Sachiko that way, it is my personal nickname for her" Yumi added with a serious tone surprising not only at the blonde but also Sachiko.
Wow, she's really possessive over Sachiko, I feel sorry for Shimako and her pointless attempt of stealing her from Yumi…
"I didn't know you had it in you, Yu~mi~chan" Sei gave them a cheeky smile "let's go then, I'm starving and Youko's waiting and you don't want to see Rosa Chinesis hungry, it's frightening" Yumi giggled, she knew her onee-sama could be very calm and collected but when hungry, she turns into a grumpy monster, like Sachiko.
I'm surrounded by temperamental women…Yumi took her sister's hand and squeezed it gently before smiling lovingly at her sister…but the most important one is right here next to me…
They walked holding hands towards the group. Sei went to the counter and paid for the food in advance. As soon as she sat next to Youko the waitress brought their food and took the Fukuzawa sister's order.
"I was right, you know" Sei whispered to Youko's ear and the latter dropped her spoon that landed on the table with a soft thud. Surprised dark orbs locked with grays and her shocked expression softened "I'm glad"
"Onee-sama, are you alright?" Yumi asked concerned
"Yes Yumi-chan, don't worry it was just that this curry is really spicy" Youko smiled at her petite soeur who smiled back.
She looks so happy now, I'm glad they're not related because they're so right for each other…Youko smiled gently before continuing eating.
A blushing Shimako stole glances of Sachiko while the latter talked with Rei. That fact didn't go unnoticed by Yumi. The brown haired Fukuzawa clenched her hands under the table and her knuckles turned white.
Oh no, you won't have her Shimako, Sachiko is absolutely mine, first of all she is my sister and most importantly, she's the person I care about the most…
Sachiko noticed how her sister's stiffened next to her and, since some of the orders arrived at the table, the dark haired Fukuzawa turned to look at her sister's sudden change of mood.
She saw Yumi's clenched fists on her lap and, before asking, she decided to follow her older sister's glare and found that Shimako was looking at her with an expression that she had just seen when Yumi kissed her.
Oh.
So that is why Umi is mad…
Sachiko smiled politely at Shimako and placed a hand on one of Yumi's fists. The older Fukuzawa relaxed with her sister's touch. She turned and gave her sister a sweet smile while Sachiko smiled reassuringly. Seconds later their food arrived, they ate in silence oblivious to whatever happened around them.
As soon as they finished, all the girls decided to explore the rest stop a little more, they had some ice cream and Sei along with Yoshino took a lot of pictures, it was a memorable time after all.
After a while, they hit the road again. All the girls chatted excitedly the rest of the trip. Sei continued driving carefully and enjoying how Youko took care of her. Rosa Chinesis handed the blonde a water bottle when the latter stated that was thirsty and gave her some snacks to nibble when she felt like eating something.
You are really something special my sweet Youko, I might have done something right in my life to deserve you…the blonde smiled tenderly at her beloved who blushed.
A little more than two hours later they finally arrived to their destination. The three story villa featured the main bedroom on the last floor with a big bathroom and balcony. On the first floor were three large bedrooms with private bathrooms and queen beds. On the ground floor were the kitchen, dining room, laundry and living room with the biggest flat screen the Fukuzawas had ever seen.
The sliding crystal doors on the kitchen leaded to the backyard where they could find a medium size pool with an outdoor kitchen and a bar. The pool had a slide and a small waterfall. From there you could see the beach that was only a few steps away.
"Not too shabby" Sei chuckled at her girlfriend's glare
"What a beautiful place, onee-sama" Yumi smiled at Youko
"Thank you for the invitation, Rosa Chinesis" Sachiko bowed respectfully.
"It is my pleasure" Youko opened the front door and exclaimed "welcome to my humble beach house"
This place is not humble, it is freaking huge…Yoshino suppressed a gasp
"How about room arrangements? Certainly I don't want to share with the Gigantea" Eriko started glaring at the chuckling blonde "But I won't mind sharing with Rei-chan" Rosa Foetida wrapped her arms around one of Rei's arms and pulled her closer. Yoshino gave her onee-sama a threatening glare.
"Set the rooms before they kill each other, please" Sei whispered on Youko's ear who nodded.
"Sei and I will take the main room on the last floor" Youko started "My petite soeur and her sister would take the farthest room on the first floor and now" Rosa Chinesis turned to Shimako, Yoshino, Rei and Eriko "the four of you have the option to share two rooms so two girls per room would be fine, it's up to you"
"I'll take the room next to Rosa Chinesis en bouton and Sachiko-san" Shimako smiled innocently
Of course you will…Yumi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Yoshino and Eriko decided to take their chances on a rock, paper and scissors game to decide who will share the other bedroom with Rei. Luckily, Yoshino came victorious. Eriko had no other option than to share with Shimako.
When Yumi entered her room she felt nervous. There was only one bed, it was big but it was only one for the two of them. She knew exactly what effect Sachiko had on her and she realized that she might lose to her instincts this time.
She sighed and rubbed her right temple, she knew a headache was on her way but she knew that she had to keep calm.
I just want this mess gone…
Sachiko locked herself in the bathroom. It had a big tub where two people could easily fit. The dark haired Fukuzawa shivered at the thought, she knew that if she lost control both her and Yumi would get intimate.
Of course she saw that there was only one bed and they were in the middle of nowhere, unsupervised and sharing not only a room but a bed. It's not that she didn't want to but it scared her.
First we need to get things clear then we will enjoy our break…Sachiko craved Yumi's touch in a tender way but also as something more that she didn't have quite clear.
A soft knock brought her back from her thoughts. Sachiko opened the door to find the smiling face of her sister.
"Onee-sama came and told me that they're going to be at the beach, do you want to go?" Yumi had changed into a peach bikini already; she also let her hair fall freely on her shoulders. Sachiko blushed slightly and swallowed hard at her sister's sight.
She looks so beautiful…
"You look pretty, Umi"
"Thank you Chiko-chan" Yumi blushed and handed Sachiko her clothes "hurry and change, I'll wait for you downstairs" she gave her sister a kiss on the cheek and left.
Yumi sat on a big white leather sofa in the living room; from there she could watch her sister go down the stairs. The brown haired Fukuzawa tuned on the TV and zapped through the channels distractedly until she heard steps coming down the stairs. Yumi looked up and dropped the remote; she was absolutely captivated by the sight.
You look absolutely stunning…
Sachiko wore a dark blue bikini that matched her eyes. She showed her long legs and toned arms. Track practice had really paid off.
"How do I look Umi?" Sachiko asked blushing; she wasn't used to wear small garments.
"Yo…you…look…amazing" Yumi smiled and blushed deeply. As she heard steps approaching, the older Fukuzawa took one of Sachiko's hands and squeezed it gently "Let's go Chiko-chan".
"Oh…" Shimako blushed as soon as she saw Sachiko's attire "my onee-sama sent me to look for you two"
Don't look at my sister like that!…Yumi wanted to scream and throw something at Shimako but she couldn't, she was to behave like a proper lady, like her onee-sama had taught her.
Sachiko felt her sister's attitude change and squeezed her hand gently. Angry brown locked with warm azure orbs and Yumi calmed down
"We were on our way out Shimako-sama" the younger Fukuzawa gave the white rose en bouton a small smile that immediately widened and turned warmer as soon as she looked at Yumi
"Shall we go, Umi?" her older sister smiled back with the same warmth on her smile and started walking.
She is indeed an attractive girl…Sachiko reasoned while she walked between her sister and Shimako. The former was wearing a snow white bikini that fit her slim but beautiful figure perfectly. Who would have thought that under Lillian's wide uniform was hidden such a gorgeous lady? But…
Sachiko looked at Yumi and how the wind played with her brown strands; her sweet smile, all the raw emotions that she made her feel, all the care and affection she showed her and all the love her sister had professed her since she could remember.
She is not Yumi…
Sachiko squeezed her sister's hand earning that sweet smile that made her heart flutter. The dark haired Fukuzawa knew with whom she belonged.
Yumi is the only one for me…
They spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach. When it was getting dark all the roses headed to the villa. After a relaxing shower Shimako, Yoshino and Yumi, along with Sachiko and Rei started cooking dinner.
Sei headed to the beach to light a bonfire, she wanted to make the girls feel more at ease and sitting around a fire sharing jokes and stories would do the trick. Satisfied with her work she decided on luring the girls to eat dinner around the bonfire.
It worked.
They all enjoyed the warm atmosphere around the flames. They ate and Sei played some pranks on Eriko while Youko was at the villa looking for more drinks along with Shimako.
After a couple of hours, Yoshino, Eriko and Rei went back to the villa, they were exhausted. Sei made Sachiko jealous some more times before being pulled by her ear by an angry looking Youko.
Shimako was taking a walk on the beach while Yumi and Sachiko exchanged glances and smiled, they remember last Christmas and their twin flame pendant. They certainly held each other close to their hearts.
"I'll be right back, need to use the restroom" Yumi smiled at her sister
"I will go with you"
"No need Chiko-chan, after I come back we can talk, okay?" the brown haired Fukuzawa gave her sister a quick kiss on the cheek and left. Sachiko was so distracted looking at Yumi disappear behind the villa's doors that didn't notice when Shimako came back and sat next to her on the sand.
"Hi" Shimako shyly said making Sachiko almost jumped surprised, she didn't hear when the white rose en bouton sat next to her.
"Hello again, Rosa Gigantea en bouton" the dark haired Fukuzawa was nervous but hid it by being rather cold towards Shimako.
"I already told you to call me by my name…" the soft spoken white rose en bouton took Sachiko's hand and caressed softly "…Sachiko"
Oh no, this is bad…
"I'm sorry Shimako-sama but I was taught to be respectful towards my senpais" she gently shook her hand free from the white rose en bouton's grasp and put some distance between them.
"Can I tell you something Sachiko…san?"
This is really bad…
"By all means Shimako-sama" Sachiko gulped; she didn't like the direction this was taking.
"Since the moment I saw you for the first time I felt attracted to you but I ignored those feelings" Shimako's expression grew serious "but the more I see you the more attracted I feel towards you and I know every action has a consequence which, let me tell you, I consider you are worth, that is why…" the white rose en bouton leaned forward but Sachiko was faster, she grabbed her senpai by her shoulders and, gently, pushed her back to avoid being kissed.
"I'm sorry Rosa Gigantea en bouton but I don't see you that way" Sachiko sighed while Shimako sat back again "I only see you like an interesting being that can become a good friend and that is the only thing I can offer you, my friendship"
Shimako gave the younger Fukuzawa a sweet smile and undid the knot that held her rosary placed around her wrist.
"That is fine Sachiko-san and, trust me, I respect your decision but…" the white rose en bouton's silver rosary sparkled like little diamonds on her hands. She extended it and showed it to Sachiko "…accept me as your onee-sama then" Shimako took a deep breath and smiled reassuringly
"Fukuzawa Sachiko, would you be my petite soeur?"
Yumi witnessed the whole scene from afar and could not move a muscle. It was like her feet were made of the heaviest material on the planet. She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.
If you accept to become Shimako's petite soeur you will completely break my heart, Sachiko…
The dark haired Fukuzawa sighed, she was also speechless. She knew that becoming soeurs was a big honor and she felt some sort of connection with the white rose en bouton but she was hesitant due to all the things she was dealing with right now.
On the other hand, she was also aware of all the stress her relationship with Yumi was enduring. And she couldn't lie to herself; she won't trust her sister completely until they had a serious talk. So becoming her sister's soeur was also on the line.
This situation was more distressing than what Sachiko could handle, that is why she hated talking to people because they normally get the wrong idea about her and her actions. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to give Shimako an answer.
Here goes nothing…
"I…"
