Chapter 2- Meeting the Master

"Yoshino! You're surprisingly early today." Rei greeted.

Yoshino smiled and leaned in to land a slight peck on Rei's cheeks.

"Good morning, Rei chan."

Rei gave a slight blush and closed the door behind them.

Everyday without fail, Shimazu Yoshino would visit her beloved onesama. After all, their houses were merely meters apart. Rei on the other hand, would always be red over the kisses she showered on her daily. Yesterday's was on her neck.

Rei chucked slightly at that thought and smiled contentedly. She was happy, that she could have the world's best petite soeur.

"Yoshino, I'm expecting a visitor today." Rei stated as they sat down.

"And who would that be?" Yoshino said playfully.

"Yumi chan is coming over. She's wants to learn how to bake a cake. It's for Sachiko's birthday this coming Friday.." Rei replied.

"Really?! Great! We'll take this chance to perk her up alright? She hasn't been in the best of moods lately and she always looks depressed in class. Rei chan will help cheer her up right?" Yoshino asked gleefully.

"Yes yes, I will. Not to worry about that." Rei smiled.

"But I wonder.. If Yumi is going to bake her onesama a cake, what is my onesama going to do for me?" Yoshino asked cheekily.

"Yoshino, don't I always bake cakes for you? Plus, its not even anywhere near your birthday yet." Rei retorted.

"Rei chan is STINGY!" With that, Yoshino stomped off into the kitchen leaving Rei dumbfounded and staring at the empty space next to her.

"Yoshino!" Rei stumbled into the kitchen only to face a pouting Yoshino.

"I was just kidding, Yoshino. You don't have to get angry over it. I'll bake you cakes whenever and where ever you want it alright?" Rei looked at her with worry.

Suddenly, Rei found herself glued to Yoshino. The latter had wrapped herself onto Rei in a tight hug.

"Rei chan.. I don't mean it. I love the cakes you make and I will always love them. I love you too Rei. I just wanted a little more of your love. That's all." Yoshino looked at Rei with teary eyes and blushed deeply as she finished her sentence.

"Yoshino.." Rei gave a gentle push to break off the embrace and gently lifted Yoshino off her. She brought her to the living room and settled on the sofa.

"Yoshino.. I.." Rei stammered.

"Shhhh.." Yoshino said as she placed her index finger on Rei's lips.

Rei found herself being unable to move for a second as Yoshino's lips met hers. Slowly, each advance was greeted with a pleasant moan. It was undeniably passionate. Soon, they enveloped themselves in an embrace. They wanted each other badly. Yoshino had her hands full with Rei's hair and clothes, tugging and stroking them. While she leaned in to inhale deeply, the scent that mesmerized her was heavenly. With lusting heat rushing through their bodies, both were getting pretty aggressive on their advances. Unconsciously, Rei extended her hand up Yoshino's shirt and felt a sharp tingle. Excitement seared through the both of them.

"Mmmmph.. Yoshino.." Rei moaned.

"DING DONG!"

Both Rei and Yoshino were startled at the sudden ringing of the bell. They broke free of each other immediately and sat there blushing like tomatoes. Neither was able to move for a few seconds. Hearts were beating furiously and both were gasping for breath. Finally Yoshino stood up.

"I'll go get the door, Rei chan." Yoshino leapt towards the door just in time to hear a second ring.

"Yumi chan! It's so good to see you. Have you been well? You seem pretty down these few days in school." Yoshino enquired.

"Yes Yoshino san. I'm perfectly okay." Yumi smiled in reply.

"Um.. Is Rei sama not here?" She continued.

"Oh.. Come on in. Rei's inside." Yoshino ushered Yumi into the house.

"Good morning Rei sama. Sorry to intrude so early in the morning." Yumi said as she gave a slight bow towards Rei.

"Ah Yumi chan. It's alright. Not to worry. My parents are out of town so you haven't disturbed anyone." Rei replied, trying very hard not to sound weird and embarrassed.

Yumi thought Rei looked strange. She seemed out of place and her clothes were kind of messy, her hair was all ruffled up and she looked just like a tomato. After glancing back at Yoshino, who shot her a smile, she looked at Rei and chuckled softly.

Their conversation about cakes soon started and Yumi finally learnt how to bake her first cake. It turned out hideous for the first time, but subsequently; she learnt how to put icing the correct way. She also learnt how to write messages and draw pictures on them. Yumi was happy and satisfied. She had felt as if half the weight of the world had lifted off from her. As she returned home for the day, she can't help but to giggle at the look Rosa Foetida had when she arrived in the morning.

'Rei.. and Yoshino.. I wonder what they're doing now?' Yumi thought as she drifted in her imagination.

"Yumi, there's a phone call for you. It's from Satou san." Yuki shouted.

"I'll be right there!" Yumi replied and jolted out of her room to the receiver.

"Hello, this is Yumi speaking." Yumi said as she picked up the phone.

"Yumi chan~~ I've missed you~ How is my cute little Yumi doing?~~" Sei joked.

"Se- Sei sama, stop making fun of me already. What do you need from me?" Yumi replied in a loud voice.

"Awww~ Don't treat me so coldly. I'll get sad. You should give me a free kiss to make it up, Yumi chan~" Sei continued in glee.

Yumi could hear grinning in the background.

"Anyway, have you mastered your art of cake making from Rei already? And are you free tomorrow?" Sei asked.

"Yes, I went to Rei's house today to learn the techniques and stuff from her. I should be doing all right. And about tomorrow? Yes I am free. Why do you ask?" Yumi responded.

"Oh, I just wanted to fulfill my end of the bargain. You promised me a day of many hugs you remember?" Sei asked playfully.

"Yes, I do. And so what do you have in mind?" Yumi replied.

"Hmmm, I figured that maybe we could go try our luck on the machine again. I'll pick you up at your house at eleven in the morning alright?" Sei said.

"Yes alright, I guess that would be fine." Yumi replied

"Okay, then have a good night's sleep then. Good night!" Sei responded.

"Good night Sei sama"~

Yumi then proceeded to put down the receiver when the phone rang again. It shocked her and the phone fell. It landed with a loud scattering noise. Yumi quickly picked up the phone and answered.

"H-Hello, Fukuzawa residence." Yumi stammered.

"Yumi?" A voice spoke on the other line.

"Onesama?!" Yumi squeaked.

"My my, Yumi. Why are you so shocked that I called?" Sachiko asked.

"Onesama, I didn't expect that you would call. You have been quite busy preparing for entrance exams recently and I figured you wouldn't have the time to call." Yumi replied.

"Yumi.. How could you think so? Of course I have the time for you. I always will. Oh yes, I called you to ask if you are free tomorrow. Shall I bring you out?" Sachiko responded.

"Um onesama.. Sorry but I already have other plans for the day. Would it be alright if we were to postpone this trip to another date?" Yumi replied nervously.

"Oh I see. You have made other plans. Then it's alright. I guess another time would be fine." Sachiko replied as Yumi could hear the dismay in her voice.

"Well, then I'll be putting down the phone. Good night Yumi."

"Good night onesama."

Yumi put down the receiver and let out a big sigh.

'Onesama.. You've called at the wrong time. How I wish I could go on a date with you. I miss you and I wish that I could be closer to you too.. I..' Yumi's thoughts trailed off as she settled in bed for the night.
