Chapter 4: You Are So Beautiful, And So Am I

The bed was littered with roses. The scented air clouded her mind. His strong arms gently laid her atop their bed of flowers. His lips, eyes and hands were all over her, caressing her, filling every pore of her being with lust and love. The weight was almost unbearable. She swam in a river of beautiful colors. The red roses, the black of his hair, the brown of his eyes, oh, and his skin..so much skin! All of it was beautiful, even she was beautiful. She was the most beautiful person in the world. No, on second thought, she felt it may have been a tie between the two of them. She was looking at the very height of beauty. She had reached the highest point above the clouds. He ran his long fingers into her hair, and swept her bangs into her eyes. They smiled. He raised his other hand and smoothed out her rosy bottom lip with the tip of his index finger. He brought his lips to her hear and murmured beautiful things.

"I love you.so much." His mouth tickled her ear.

She was in Heaven. She couldn't believe this was happening. She couldn't believe she was here, with him. The man with the calm, gentle voice, the whispering hair, the smooth style. He was so sweet and intelligent. He was hers. And she was about to be made his. She would have his beautiful mark on her forever. The few garments they had on were too thin and too little to serve as an adequate shield to ward off the heat they themselves were creating. Soon, they were free of the abominations; the THINGS that were keeping them from love and the fulfillment of their needs. His hips pressed against hers. She rolled her head back, her hair mingling with the loose rose petals on the cool bedspread. His hands were so smooth and gentle, his masculine form contrasted with her femininity, yet at the same time, fit together perfectly. She was so happy. She reached out for him, and she fell into his loving embrace. Their bodies melted into each other, their emotions mashed together, their breathing became synchronized. She was dizzy with love. Her heart leapt. She was ready to cry out. She buried her head into his shoulder to muffle the sound of his voice, calling out to him.

"Soichiro..!"

"Soichiro!"

"Soichiro?"

Yukino opened her eyes, and stared into her white pillowcase. Her face was buried into her pillow. She felt the blood rush to her face, and hot, angry tears came to her eyes. She tightened her hand into a ball, and punched pillow twice before rolling over onto her back. "It was all a dream!?" She said aloud to herself. Her breaths came sharp and fast. She couldn't believe this! It seemed so real!

*Please, let me go back to sleep!* She pleaded with her subconscious. It was really a dream?

*This is so horrible!*

She groaned and rolled back onto her side. Her sheets were wrapped all around her legs and her waist. Sweaty tendrils of hair clung to her face. She was so warm! She struggled to sit up, and her hair fell forward in damp, slightly matted clumps. She scratched her head and stared at the pack of note cards on her desk and scoffed. In her attempt to forget her problems, she had studied way too hard and fell asleep! She swung her legs over the side of her bed and stood up. She dragged herself to the bathroom, turned on the hot water tap in the sink, lathered her face with a mild soap, and rinsed. When she was finished, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. "What a lazy day," she told her image. She squinted and leaned in to get a closer look at herself.

*I'm so pale,* she thought dismally. *I look sick!* She frowned. *I didn't look this way in my dream!* She pinched at her cheeks, trying to put some color back into them. It wasn't working. Yukino rolled her eyes. If she was with Soichiro, her cheeks would be the darkest shade of pink. She sighed. He was all she thought about sometimes. She pursed her lips together in annoyance. She tapped her cheeks in a second attempt to turn them red. It wasn't working! She took both hands and clapped them hard against her face. "Ouch!" she yelped.

*Hey, some color is forming!* she thought, a ray of hope breaking through the blackness. She clapped her face harder and frowned. Yukino squished her cheeks with her hands. "Oh! I'm so uglyyyyyyyyy!" She contorted her face with her fingers, moving her cheeks up and down, causing her lips to protrude.

"Having fun?"

Yukino quickly turned her (still squished) face toward the door. There, Kano was leaning against the side of the door, her arms crossed in front of her chest, and a smirk plastered on her face. Next to her, Tsuki was stifling a laugh. Behind the two of them, her parents were shaking their heads.

"Yukino's getting weirder and weirder every day," her mother sighed.

Yukino quickly released her face and pinned her arms down to her sides. She growled and tightened her fists. She took a deep breath.

"Get OUTTA HERE!!" she shrieked. The house seemed to shake from the booming of her vocal cords. Her family took a step back.

"Oh, my goodness!"

"She's scary!"

"Everybody run!"

Yukino's family scampered hurriedly down the hallway toward the living room. Yukino stepped out of the bathroom, shaking her fist above her head.

"And don't you come back, you bums!" Yukino glared in their direction and lowered her fist after a moment. She slumped down into a sitting position on the floor. She looked down into her lap and placed a hand to her forehead.

"I'm so stupid."
