A/N: Hey everyone so sorry for the wait. I have started on the next chapter already and I think it is going well and I've been planning my next story after this and it will be. . . Odd. I recently watched an anime and of course thought what if Sachiko and Yumi 8D? I've been thinking about it more and more for the past few days and am pretty certain now that it will come about after Isolation ends. I dont' think I can make it a one shot and I don't really want to start another story while working on this one. So there is a quick update, I hope everyone had a good Halloween. I didn't do a story for it, but I've done two halloween ones before already sooo. . . Maybe I should finally do a Christmas one? Hmm We'll see. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the story!

Youko sat quietly on the bench as a few girls passed her by, she was waiting for Sei to show as she thought about everything that had happened. She couldn't shake the thought of taking her rosary back and seeing the look on Sachiko's face. Youko sighed as she looked down to the ground, she never felt this weak and vulnerable in her life. She was at one point looked up at by Sachiko and now she felt everyone was better than her, she felt insignificant.
She felt like she shouldn't exist anymore.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Sei asked as Youko lifted her head instantly coming out of her thoughts and putting a slight smile on her face as she shook her head.
"Nothing, is wrong, I was just thinking about some stuff," Youko answered as Sei took a seat next to her and looked at her thoughtfully for a moment. Youko looked away from her after realizing Sei was staring at her like that. "W-what are you looking at?"
"I'm just always amazed by how cute you are," Sei commented as Youko blushed a little and turned her face completely away from her. Sei smiled by this reaction, she was slowly working towards her and from the reaction had read this situation correctly. "Anyways, you called me here for a reason, so what is on your mind?"
Youko nodded before clearing her throat and turning back to Sei trying to think of something else so her blush would vanish. "I called you here, because I think we need to do something about Shimako," Youko explained as Sei sighed and nodded as she looked around.
"I had a feeling that it might be about this," Sei replied as she thought for a moment as Youko remained silent, she wasn't entirely sure how Sei felt about this. "I've heard things, about her. . . I haven't really talked with her since this whole Sachiko and Yumi situation exploded. I used to think she was such a sweet girl and I know when I go to talk to her that it won't be like the other times. It will probably be the last time I talk with her, so I haven't," Sei thought out loud as Youko nodded. "It has to be done, but I'm almost afraid of doing it."
"You're scared?" Youko asked a little surprised by the answer, Sei always seemed so on top of her emotions and fear just didn't seem like it was something she would experience. Especially not over talking with someone, she was also so carefree with her words.
"Is that surprising to you?" Sei asked curiously as Youko nodded slightly as Sei looked away from her.
"You don't have to do it alone," Youko said as Sei looked to her and smiled almost as if she was back to normal.
"Thank you," Sei said as she put her hand on Youko's knee, "I think I should do this alone though."
Youko smiled though her eyes told a different story.
"I will need you when it's over," Sei said a moment later knowing full well that Youko felt horrible about everything she had done. "I'll be completely alone after it happens."
"No," Youko said shaking her head, "you won't be alone, I will be right there when you need me."
Sei turned to her as she spoke and stared into her eyes for a moment letting her words sink in. "Would you be upset if I kissed you?" Sei asked a moment later as Youko glanced away only momentarily before swallowing and shaking her head slightly just as she felt Sei's lips touch her own gently.
After a brief moment Youko felt the cool air on her lips again when Sei pulled away and smiled. "Why don't we head to class?"

"Yumi can you please come down stairs?" Mrs. Fukuzawa called as Yumi lifted her head from her pillow and looked towards the door. Since she had nothing else to do she had decided to read a book she had previously neglected.
"Coming," Yumi called back as she put the book down and climbed out of bed to make her way downstairs. She could hear talking, which she figured was probably her brother and parents, but it was kind of an odd time to need something from her. Dinner had already been eaten and as far as she remembered she had cleaned up what her parents wanted her to.
When she finally reached the bottom of the stairs though her face lit up with confusion and a smile as she saw Sachiko standing with her own parents. "Sachiko, what are you doing here?" Yumi asked as Sachiko looked to her father for a moment before speaking.
"We are here to discuss school," Sachiko said as she looked back to her mother with a question written all over her face.
Sayako sighed as she put a hand up, "go ahead we brought you here so you both could hear this."
Sachiko smiled before taking off her shoes and giving Yumi a big hug followed by a quick kiss.
"You're still grounded, I would like to remind you," Sayako said as Sachiko released Yumi and nodded though she never turned towards her parents.
Mrs. Fukuzawa couldn't help but crack a slight smile noticing both girls actively restraining themselves from further contact, they almost seemed afraid to talk though they wouldn't leave each others side.
"Why don't we take a seat in the living room, we can talk in there," Mr. Fukuzawa said as Yumi nodded and led Sachiko into the other room to sit on the couch.
"Are we going back tomorrow?" Yumi asked as her father nodded while the rest of the parents found a seat.
"Yes, you both will be going back to school, but we want to talk about this bullying situation. We have all learned a lot in the past day about what is really going on and we want make sure this doesn't happen again," Mr. Fukuzawa explained as both girls listened and nodded.
"Starting tomorrow if you feel threatened in any way or you are bullied like you were, we would like if you go to the teachers, they will help you this time, I promise," Touro spoke as Sachiko and Yumi glanced at each other, it was official, their lives were over. "If that doesn't work, call me, I don't care if you have to skip school to do it. I will not tolerate such things happening to my daughter in an environment where she is supposed to be safe."
"This also means, if it isn't obvious, that we are in full support of your relationship with each other. . . That being said you are still too young to be engaging in sexual activities," Sayako explained as both girls face went red. This conversation would not be a fun one, but there parents thought it would be important for them to know what to expect at school the next day.
The next morning. . .
Sachiko paused standing in the gate to Lillian, she could help but feel like she was about to be made fun of even more than usual. She felt a surge of embarrassment which lasted only momentarily as she thought of what Yumi had said on the phone.
Everyone already hates us. The thought was oddly comforting considering what it was saying. Sachiko just sighed as she started walking down the path towards the greenhouse she told Yumi she would meet her at.
"Couldn't handle the truth so you whined to daddy didn't you stupid lesbian," a girl called out as Sachiko closed her eyes briefly repeating in her mind to just keep walking.
"Ignoring the truth won't help anything," the girl said again as Sachiko took a deep breath and picked up her pace.
Once she was finally in the greenhouse she leaned against the door and and looked up at the ceiling. The day had barley started and she already had wished it was over. That was until she jumped from feeling two arms wrap around her, but smiled a moment later when she realized it was Yumi. "You scared me," Sachiko said as looked up at her and smiled. Sachiko took her queue and leaned down to give Yumi a kiss. There was nothing better to make Sachiko forget all the hate going around the campus.
When Yumi tried to pull away she noticed that Sachiko was holding her tightly though. Sachiko must have realized what Yumi was trying to do though because instead of letting go she helped her over to the edge of a nearby flower bed. Yumi leaned against it and smiled as she looked into Sachiko's eyes for a moment before once again feeling Sachiko's lips against her own.
"You missed me," Yumi said between kisses as Sachiko stopped briefly and chuckled a little under her breath.
"You don't seem to be resisting," Sachiko responded as Yumi made an amused noise before receiving another firm kiss which came with a surprise when Yumi felt Sachiko's tongue.
Slowly the kiss deepened as Sachiko's hand found it's way the back of Yumi's head. Sachiko wasn't sure either what had come over her but she didn't want to stop. Then again feelings Yumi's hands on her waist were only driving her to continue.
"Well I'm glad to see these rumors haven't pulled you two apart, quite the opposite it seems," Sei said as Sachiko and Yumi quickly pulled away both with a brief moment of regaining their senses.
Yumi pressed her lips together and glanced off to the side of Sei and Youko as Sachiko stood still inches away from her taking a deep breath.
"W-We weren't expecting anyone," Sachiko finally said as she turned to finally see Sei and Youko. She couldn't help but look at Youko for a moment before glancing back to Sei with a questioning look on her face.
"Whatever it is your thinking, I assure you are wrong," Sei said as she put a hand up.
Sachiko looked to Yumi who just simply shrugged looking up at her with the same question on her face.
"Sachiko," Youko said softly as she looked between her and Yumi. "I am so happy you two are still together through all of this."
Sachiko shared a curiously confused look with Yumi for a moment before looking back to Youko who had an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm not sure how I should respond, but thank you," Sachiko replied as Sei smiled this time.
"Those are the steps I like to see happening. I don't think this is the time for that discussion though, in fact, I believe we are interrupting," Sei said as Sachiko realized she was still standing close enough for Yumi to have to part her feet.
She quickly took a step back and shook her head before smiling. "We were simply making up for lost time in a short amount of time, future and past" Sachiko explained as Yumi smiled and nodded even though she was a little embarrassed.
"Well then you should enjoy what little time you have, we can talk later. We really just wanted to make sure everything was alright with you two for now," Youko explained as Sei turned back to her with a weird question written on her face before turning back to Sachiko and Yumi.
"She is right, we can talk later," Sei agreed though she wasn't sure why, "for now just enjoy the little time you have before classes start."
"Thank you," Sachiko replied as both of glanced back to her and smiled with a nod before leaving the greenhouse to Sachiko and Yumi again. Sachiko immediately looked back to Yumi who glanced to the door quick before looking back to Sachiko and smiling. "Now where were we?" Sachiko asked as she stepped closer to Yumi and once again leaned down for a kiss.

Shimako smiled as she sat in her desk watching all the nasty stares and rude remarks Yumi was getting when she walked into the classroom. Even if Yoshino was with her the word cheater had been thrown out a few times and responded to with a hot headed Yoshino.
She too had been aware of Touro's visit to the school and the threat of taking the girls out of the school. Even it was just a rumor Shimako saw it as the perfect opportunity. If Sachiko and Yumi were taken out of the school her lesbian issues would be solved. Yoshino was already a mess with the Rei situation, the only ones she didn't know much about was Sei and Youko who had been quiet so they weren't a threat.
Shimako's smile widened as she saw a paper ball thrown at Yumi as she sat down followed by a sigh. This might be too easy, all she had to do was get Yumi into trouble again and watch as Sachiko sealed their fate. Now she just had to decide what it was that would anger Sachiko enough to do something that would get the schools attention. Shimako's smile turned to a grin as she thought of a devilish plan that would definitely get a big response from Sachiko. Now she just had to set her plan in motion.
