A/N: Ok, so this note will just be a short one so don't worry. It seems to be a lot of confusion concerning with chapter 14. So I'm going to explain everything.

When Yumi and Sachiko were together, they didn't have that kind of intimacy...and I also portray their love as a pure and gentle one... until this chapter :)

Oh and Sachiko's suite have two bedrooms. Yumi and Sachiko are sleeping separately ok? :D One last thing: I said I was just going to take a BREAK from writing, not discontinue the story. ^^

I was so surprised at how many reviewed the last chapter...so thank you very much to everyone; especially to those who reviewed. I just wish the review rate would stay the same? LOL

Other than that, please enjoy this new installment only from yours truly :)

Chapter 5: The One-time Getaway Part II

"Ok ladies! We have exactly…" Yumi looked at her wrist."One hour to get ready before heading up to The Building. We're all going to meet up at the main lobby before going there." They just finished eating dinner at a different, exquisite restaurant and were waiting in the elevator. Apparently Yumi was giving Sei a pointed look that said, "Yeah, I'm talking to you."

Sei just dramatically sighed as she took her room key from her pocket."Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not blessed with such good looks like you. It takes time for me to look sexy."

Hearing this made Yumi's face turn beet red and so she tried to come up with a retort. "Please stop sweet-talking the hostess here. You are not excused from buying everyone drinks." Yumi replied with a smug look on her face. The others just giggled.

When the elevator opened, Sei sprinted out into the hallway towards her room like a road runner.

"Oh my..." Sachiko patted Yumi's shoulder with pride."You sure did an excellent job making her think you were serious." Yumi turned around and raised her eyebrow in response."And who said I wasn't?"

All the other girls looked at each other curiously for a quick moment before the entire gang stampeded out of the elevator and ran to their respective rooms.

"Hurry up and open the door Rei! I can so not buy everyone drinks but my own tonight. Let's go!" Eriko practically made her petite soeur's eardrums bleed."Ok,ok calm down onee-sama the door is open! Stop grabbing my shirt and tossing me around like a ragdoll!"

Yumi laughed to herself at the two's antics as she walked past the pair towards the suite she was sharing with Sachiko. To her astonishment, there was Sachiko hysterically looking for the key in her purse." Why the hurry Sachiko-sama? You don't have to pay for anything. You're the bride remember?"

"I know, but knowing from Yuuki how long you pick your outfit and dress up, I'm trying to give you a flying start." Sachiko replied with a half-grin.

The brunette playfully pouted at Sachiko before closing the suite door behind them."Are you ready to have the best night of your unmarried life Sachiko-sama?" Yumi asked excitedly.

"Yeah… I couldn't wait." Sachiko answered unenthusiastically as she headed towards her room. Her voice quivered on the last word. Being her petite soeur before, Yumi noticed this right away.

"What's wrong Sachiko-sama?"

"There's nothing wrong, really. All of this is just..." Sachiko's voice trembled.

"Sachiko-sama?"

Sachiko turned around and faced Yumi but stared at her feet."I just feel so...helpless and confused." She looked away to the side while trying to wipe the tears that were escaping from her eyes. She was crying, and Yumi did what she thought was best. She just came up to her, hugged the blunette and rubbed her back in circular motions. "My wedding and everything…it's just happening so fast." Sachiko's tears were flowing freely from her sapphire eyes now.

"Calm down now. Shhh everything's going to be fine Sachiko-sama. We've got your back, so there's no need to cry. This is supposed to be the night of your life too."

"I know, I know. I just feel like after this night my world's going to change forever. Suguru's going to stay with me from then on and I don't even want to imagine what it's like to have him around... all the time." For the third time in her life, Sachiko felt alone and terrified at the thought of living under the same roof with the man. The thought of sleeping in the same bed with a person, especially of the opposite sex was enough to make the raven-haired girl get terrifying nightmares.

"You'll get used to the idea in no time. I know it's hard Sachiko-sama. Everyone feels like that before they get married. This is your night to party, so dry those tears up and let's celebrate the night away ok?"

Sachiko's clouded mind cleared up; tears finally ceasing."You know what...you're absolutely right. I'm an Ogasawara... I shouldn't be weeping during the last night of my freedom. Since when did you become so smart Yumi?"

Yumi just chuckled while answering."I used to have an onee-sama full of wisdom who taught me well."

This answer earned giggles from the two. Looking at the wall clock Yumi then gasped in horror."Oh no! I better hurry up and dress before I become the last one. I can't afford to buy everyone drinks." Did she mention they were staying at a fancy and expensive hot spring resort? Meaning everything there costs a lot. From spa treatments to drinks you name it.

"You better start the bath if I were you. Don't want to keep the others waiting yes?"

"I'm going then. See you in a bit!" Yumi hurriedly replied as she ran towards the bathroom. Due to her clumsiness, she managed to trip and almost fell on the flat suite floor. Tripping on a completely flat surface takes skill, and the brunette has the skills alright. She was a natural.

'I wonder what's taking her so long. At this rate she's most certainly going to buy everyone drinks.' Sachiko was waiting for the petite girl to finish dressing up. As of expected, Yumi was taking ages to pick a night dress to wear. Yumi asked her earlier for her opinion on which dress would fit her the most, but then changed her mind and told the bride-to-be that she'll just surprise her with the girl's choice of clothing. Apparently Yumi told her it was a surprise.

"Yumi, you may want to hurry up now. The others are probably waiting for us. You don't want to buy every single girl a drink do you?" Sachiko teasingly asked. She was sitting on a sofa in her room for quite awhile now, and she was getting impatient. Her phone started ringing and when she checked her inbox a text from her onee-sama popped up.

Will you and Yumi-chan get here already? We are waiting.

'I knew it. Why can't Yumi just pick some decent clothing and get dressed up already?' Sachiko's mind asked.

All of a sudden Sachiko heard the doorknob to her room turn, and she then pretended to be annoyed by looking at her fake 'watch'. When the door swung open, Sachiko looked up from her wrist and let her hand drop...as well as her jaw

There standing meekly at the doorframe was a captivatingly-looking Yumi wearing a strapless maroon dress that knocked the air out of her lungs. She let her straight, auburn hair cascade down just above her shoulders. She was wearing deep red high heels. Her mascara made her eyelashes alluring to the eyes, and her eye shadows were a blend of amber and black; creating that smoky and sexy effect that brought the opal color out of her eyes, and it was also enough to make Sachiko's heart skip a beat or two.

"What do you think Sachiko-sama?" Yumi meekly asked.

"You look...stunning." Sachiko slowly answered with this dumbfounded look on her face. She looked like she was facing Aphrodite; the Greek goddess of beauty and love. Yumi just gave her a dazzling smile in return. "Let's go and drink the night away then." Yumi told the brunette while she started walking to the main door. Noticing that Sachiko wasn't following her, Yumi raised her eyebrow when she saw Sachiko standing where she left her.

"Are you coming or not?"

Sachiko woke up from her trance. Shaking her head Sachiko fished her purse for the suite key. After finding the key, she followed Yumi to the main door. As soon as Sachiko finished locking the door, the two practically ran to the elevator. To their horror, the elevator door closed just when they got there. Not wanting to wait for the elevator to go up again, Yumi suggested an idea.

"Since we're in a hurry, why don't we just go down the stairs?" Yumi suggested with a cheeky smile.

"I-I don't know Yumi. You see, I've ne-" Before Sachiko could finish her reply Yumi took her hand and ran towards the fire exit where the stairs were located, therefore dragging Sachiko in the process. Not wanting Yumi to let go, Sachiko slowly grasped Yumi's hand; her heartbeat getting faster and faster by the minute. Was it because they were running? Was it because just holding hands with the brunette made her heart pound like crazy?

'Probably both' Sachiko answered in her mind. But those questions and answers didn't matter. For some reason, the world around her slowed down. Looking forward, she stared at Yumi's back, and felt that they slowed down, even though in reality they were running like crazy down a fleet of stairs. She wanted the moment to last. She just wanted to stay like that holding Yumi's hand forever.

The two of them holding hands; not know where their feet will take them was a reality that could only happen in her head. Just the two of them, enjoying each other's company while walking among the fields of barley. Not having a care in the world.

Just the two of them

But along those fields of gold, a storm called reality tore them apart. The sky turned grey, and the sun shined no more. Yumi's hand slipped from hers, and when the storm finally passed away she was alone among the fields of broken barley.

By the time the two got to the main lobby, Yumi and Sachiko both let go of each other's hand, much to the two's dismay. The others saw them, and Sei was watching them come closer with this smug look plastered to her face.

"Well, well look at what we got here. I guess Ms. Fukuzawa will be the one who will buy the first round." Sei said with a smirk.

A thin pout formed on Yumi's lips before turning to look at Sachiko. "I'm sorry for causing us to be the last ones here." she jokingly told Sachiko while they entered the elevator. Yumi felt herself get warmer when she felt Sachiko's cool breath dangerously close to her ear. "I told you to hurry up, and I even gave you a head start. But don't worry…I'm not going to scold you." Sachiko whispered rather seductively.

'Oh Maria-sama, she's going to be the death of me'

With wide eyes, Yumi just stared blankly ahead while the elevator doors finally closed with a chime.

"It's time to party bitches!" Sei said out loud. Hoots and hollers from the girls who were all wearing mini dresses and high heels followed.

Music was blasting throughout the club. The colorful lights were dim, but the dance floor lit up the entire room. The decorations were sophisticated and classy; red, gold, and black were the theme colors. Yumi secured them a VIP area beforehand, therefore making their stay at the club even more enjoyable.

As agreed upon, Yumi bought the first round of drinks. Also, she arranged to cover the group's tab for the whole night as well. Everyone took a seat at the VIP area where a huge, round table was located. After everyone took a seat, Eriko made a hilarious toast to the bride.

"Sachiko, you may be the most serious and boring person in the whole world, but that didn't stopping us from loving you."

Sachiko just rolled her eyes comically."Thanks Eriko-sama. You are such a nice person." Everyone laughed at Sachiko's sarcastic comment.

Raising a shot of vodka, Eriko announced."Tonight is the last night of your unmarried life. Drink till you drop and have fun! To Sachiko-san"

"To Sachiko-san" Everyone cheered in unison.

2 hours later, every girl was laughing and drinking like it was their last. Everyone was a little bit tipsy by then. All of a sudden, Sei stood up, pointed dramatically at Sachiko, and challenged the blunette to a contest."I formally challenge you, Ogasawara Sachiko, to a dancing contest. I bet I'll win; you dance like a stick." This earned her a painful stomp to the foot from Youko. Youko glared to Sei and made her sit down by dragging her arm down. "Are you insane Sei? As if setting them up at the hot springs last night wasn't enough. Now you're just putting gas to the flames by challenging my petite soeur to a dancing contest! You know Sachiko still hates your guts, so why?" Youko whispered angrily.

Sachiko looked at Sei and a thin line formed on her lips. Everyone was silent for a moment; they were surprised.

They weren't surprised because of Sei's challenge or the blonde herself. They were surprised because of Sachiko's unexpected answer.

"I accept."

Hearing this made Sei smirk with glee. It is as if she was expecting the girl to accept her challenge from the beginning. Putting her elbows on the table, she intertwined her fingers and rested her chin on top. "Excellent. Now, if you're wondering about the rules, I'll explain."

For a minute, Sei explained the rules of the dancing contest. It's simple, really. Both of them will choose a partner, and they are supposed to dance non-stop to one song. After the song is finished, the others who were watching the dance must then choose which duo danced better.

"Wait, what do I get if I win?" Sachiko asked.

Sei pondered for a moment before answering."If you win...I'm going to keep my distance from Yumi and I'm not going to make fun of you for a month." Sachiko tried not to smile after hearing her reward. But her enthusiasm for the contest was cut short when Sei added.

"Don't get ahead of yourself Sachiko. If I win, I'll do the exact opposite: I'll hug Yumi more than before and I will make fun of you twice as much."

Sachiko just gulped. Should she take the risk and still carry on with the contest? She even knew that she had never danced in a club before. But the single thought of Sei not making any kind of body contact with Yumi was enough to strengthen her resolve. It was worth it.

'To heck with it'

"Agreed" Standing up, Sachiko stretched out her hand to Yumi."Will you do me the honors of agreeing to be my partner?" Smiling, Yumi took her outstretched hand and lightly squeezed it."You didn't even have to ask Sachiko-sama."

The two girls walked towards the dance floor with a serene and elegant atmosphere surrounding them. As if they were going to dance the waltz instead of dancing in a club. Turning around, both saw Sei dragging behind a reluctant Youko. Once the two older women arrived a new song started.

"May the best dancer win" Sei called out loud to Sachiko and Yumi. Sachiko smugly replied."Oh don't worry Sei-sama. We won't be losing any time soon." Oh's and ah's were muttered by the others who were watching.

Sei just scoffed jokingly at Sachiko's reply."Like I said before; don't get ahead of yourself Sachiko." Before Sachiko could retaliate even more, Youko butted in.

"Will you two just exchange retorts after we're done with this ridiculous contest?" This made both Sei and Sachiko shut up."You guys wasted like one-third of the song."

At first it was a little bit…well ok a lot awkward. Her movements were just off the beat. She wasn't good at this kind of dancing, and it was her first time. They were dancing alright, but she and Yumi were totally out of sync. Sachiko thought she was going to lose the contest, because let's get real here.

This was her first time dancing in a club, and she kept a respectable amount of distance from Yumi, which makes it impossible for them to actually win the bet.

But all of that changed when Yumi walked towards her and planted her hands on Sachiko's hips. Sachiko gasped at the sudden contact.

"We're never going to win if you keep on distancing yourself from me you know. Don't look at the others, and just look at me. Imagine that it's just the two of us dancing ok?" Sachiko just nodded and inhaled deeply.

To Sachiko's amazement, Yumi started to dance rather sensually. With her hands still attached to Sachiko's hip, Yumi began to sway her hips, rolling them in motion. It took Sachiko less than a minute to figure out that she was dancing erotically. Yumi wasn't new to this at all. Where was the pure and innocent Yumi she knew and loved?

Yumi then locked gazes with Sachiko while moving her body impossibly closer to the older girl. Her hands were sliding dangerously lower. After a few tries, Sachiko finally got the beat right. They were moving in perfect sync.

Sachiko felt herself getting hotter. It was amazing how turned on one could get just by watching someone else dance.

As if they weren't close enough, Yumi pressed her entire body unto Sachiko's even more. Then Sachiko's breath hitched up in her throat when Yumi started to grind her body into hers. The blunette let out a pained gasp. She placed her hands on top of Yumi's, which were way located way down. Sachiko's hands were glued to on top of Yumi's, afraid of where her hands could go if they weren't engaged.

Yumi let her thigh get terrifyingly close to Sachiko's source of heat.

'Oh Maria-sama, does she know what she's doing to me?'

The others who were watching them didn't matter now. Nothing in the world matters at the moment. It was just the two of them existing, Yumi and Sachiko. Their world was that simple.

They were in rhythm, swaying to the beat of the music. The space between them vanished as bodies pressed flushed against each other. Sachiko's heart was pounding harder, probably even louder than the booming bass in the club.

At this point, she couldn't help what her hands were doing as they began to move across Yumi's body. Then she felt it. Yumi's strong thigh was pressing firmly against the apex of her legs. She couldn't keep the moan that escaped at the back of her throat.

She gazed at Yumi's orbs and saw a dark shade of brown while she sported a sly smirk.

'Oh yeah? Two can play at this game Yumi.'

Sachiko turned Yumi around so that Yumi's back was pressed up against her chest. Sachiko rolled her pelvis against Yumi's backside while her hands roamed from her thighs to her abs, each time creeping higher and higher.

Sachiko prepensely began breathing into Yumi's ear. Yumi turned her face towards Sachiko's, while slightly turning around with Sachiko's arms still wrapped around her. They gazed into each other's half-lidded eyes. Sachiko felt the anticipation building. She knew what was about to happen. Yumi smiled slowly before moving her head in. Sachiko went to meet her halfway. Their lips were just centimeters away from touching...

"Yumi, Sachiko!"

They both jumped apart at the familiar voice.

Sei was standing there; arms crossed and with a smirk plastered to her face.

"You guys might want to get a room before other people see you. You guys won by the way. You two were so into it, that you didn't even notice me and Youko leaving the dance floor." And with that, the blonde left and went straight back to their table.

Yumi and Sachiko faced each other again; both breathing heavily and with mouths agape.

"Are you drunk?" Yumi asked, already knowing the answer.

"I am. And you?" Sachiko breathed out.

Yumi nodded."We should..." Yumi started, pointing up towards the ceiling.

"Yeah"

Yumi intertwined her fingers with Sachiko's, pulling her along. Drunk, on both alcohol and adrenaline from the passionate dance the two shared just earlier, the two girls carefully made their way to the exit and stumbled towards the elevator.
