Disclaimer: I don't own any of Maria Sama Ga Miteru characters. XD

Note: The Sei and Youko's part was just a service. An attempted one anyway. Sorry if it didn't turn out well. =(

And well, I've decided to change the rating to M, just to play safe.

Thanks to all the people who have reviewed and supported me up until now. I really appreciate it. ^^

Chapter 5- The Unexpected Visitor

"Sei, the bath's ready! Please get in quickly or the water will turn cold!" A delighted voice shouted from the bath room.

"Ahhh~" Sei responded as she pranced towards the location of the voice.

"Aren't you coming in with me, Youko?" Sei teased playfully as she opened the door.

"Playful aren't you?" Youko teased as she held her face.

"Didn't you come visit me so you could get in the tub together?" Sei smirked.

"I thought you miss-ed… mmmph" Sei sentence was muffled by the suddenly arrival of a kiss.

"Wow.. mmmph.. Pretty aggressive aren't we.." Sei whispered into Youko's ears. Following that she returned a chain of kisses which rained down Youko's neck.

"Don't be silly.. I know you want it.." Sei broke the kiss and dragged Youko into the bath.

"Stop! You'll get my clothes all wet!" Youko said as she resisted.

"It doesn't matter. You're in my house anyway. No one's going to see you. Well, except for me that is.. We can dry them off later~" Sei grinned like a playful cat as she pulled Youko closer.

'I'm starting to sound like an old pervert' Sei grinned in her thoughts.

Mizuno Youko was visiting Sei that particular day. Well, the reason was just a simple visit. Old 'friends' should have some contact once in a while right?

Sei kissed Youko passionately, slowly running her hands down her head. Losing her mind to Sei's advancement, Youko's lips parted and gave in. Sei took the chance to taste her lover starting right from her tongue. Each move became more and more heated up as they both splashed into the tub of warm water, breaking the kiss.

"Sei! You'll drown me!" Youko exclaimed as she stuck her head up to breathe for a second.

Sei glanced up at the person opposite of her. Arousal swept over her as she began to feel her bottom shiver in excitement. Youko blushed at the turn of events as she caught Sei looking at her seductively. Sei scanned her for a second. Her white top was transparent, showing the wonderfully endowed breasts. It was highly inviting. On top of that, she was wet. From top to bottom that is.

"You know.. You've charmed me tonight.. A bit of this.. And that.." Sei looked at the two lumps in front of her as she leaned across. Both of them were on their knees with Sei hovering over Youko.

"Sei.." Youko softened as she gave in to the pressure.

"Well, firstly, shall I scrub your back?" Sei said enthusiastically.

Youko was startled. She sat up blushing furiously.

"Stop teasing me!" Youko hammered Sei.

Catching her arms in midair, Sei held them apart. She moved in closer to Youko's chest as she positioned her head right underneath Youko's. With small but delicate movements, Sei proceeded to unbutton her shirt with her mouth. Youko shivered and shook, but was held in place by the strong grip. She didn't dare to look down, afraid of the beast under her. Sei fiddled with the last button before the shirt popped into two. She then advanced onto the black piece under it. The garment was soaked and stuck to Youko's skin. Sei inhaled deeply as she loosened her grip on Youko's arms. With strong and firm movements, she slided her way up towards her back. Sei seared with excitement as her prize was free of captivity.

"Youko.. It's been a while.. They've grown haven't they?" Sei chuckled while closing the gap between them.

Youko did not respond. She faced the ceiling and was gasping heavily for air.

Sei slid her hand down her navel and reached for the zipper. Slowly and steadily, she pulled it downwards. Excitement roared through their minds.

"Youko.. Would you please help me there? A pair of jeans is pretty heavy when it's soaked.." Sei muttered in a grinning voice.

Youko shifted back to reality as she blushed heavily. Without further ado, she slowly slid out of her confinement.

"Sei.. mmmph.. Sei.." Youko spoke her name with increasing volume as Sei glided her fingers into that final piece of lingerie.

Youko started to shiver again. This time it was intense.

"Youko.. You came over tonight knowing that this might happen.. You must have grown bolder since I last saw you." Sei whispered.

Sei knew. Previously, progresses between the two of them had been superficial. Neither of them had the courage or opportunity to move further. But today, it was different. A chance was present. And it offered to reap great rewards.

Sei looked at Youko once again and decided that she should stop. If she didn't, the girl in front of her might just drown in her tub. She carried Youko out of the bath tub and started to dry her.

"Let's continue this elsewhere, shall we?" Sei said as she leaned in to give Youko a peck on the lips.

Youko did not move. More like she couldn't. What she saw.. heard.. inhaled.. tasted and felt was Sei. Sei and only Sei. Her senses were numb. Numb to the rest of the surroundings except for Sei. Every little movement seemed eternity. Every word echoed through her ears. Youko was in ninth heaven.

"Sei.." Youko moaned as she laid on the soft futon.

Sei came walking towards her. Youko smiled at the sight that greeted her. A beautiful and flawless outline of the person she secretly loved through high school against the moonlight. Soon, it started to rain. Sei moved over to draw the curtains and slid in next to Youko.

"Shall we take the rest of the bath tomorrow?" Sei grinned in pleasure as she murmured to Youko.

Just as Sei was leaning in to plant a kiss on Youko's navel, she heard a knock.

It was soft, so she thought it was her neighbors returning home. Continuing her advancement on Youko, Sei felt increasingly irritated as the sound of knocking continued.

"Sei.. Go check it out?" Youko spoke.

"Mmm.. I don't want to. It'll spoil my mood." Sei said as she snuggled back into the arms of her lover.

The knocking continued.

With gradual annoyance and irritation, Sei got up to investigate the noise.

"Yumi chan?!" Sei gasped as she unbolted the door.

Standing in front of her was Yumi, drenched and shivering.

----------

"Have a cup of warm cocca Yumi chan." Youko said as she offered the cup to Yumi.

Yumi glanced up at the previous roses. She can't help but to go red in the face. A few minutes earlier, she had stumbled upon the ex Rosa Gigantea and ex Rosa Chinensis wearing disorganized bathrobes.

"So Yumi chan, what happened?" Sei enquired with worry.

"Sei sama.." Yumi's expression broke as she started to stammer in tears.

"Onesama.. She.. After conversing with you, onesama called. She was very furious and refused to listen to my explanation. I.. I can't tell her anything about the gift. And.. she claims that I have been seeing you everyday. I'm sorry Sei sama. I didn't mean to drag you into this. I don't want to trouble you as well. I tried explaining to her but she didn't want to listen. I have never seen her so agitated before. She exploded her temper on me. She even said that we should re examine our soeur relationship. I.. I feel hurt! I feel as if I could just die there and then. I don't want to see her treat me like that. I love her.." Yumi broke down as she explained.

"Sachiko snapped at you too?!" Sei exclaimed.

"How could she do that? It's as if she didn't think of your feelings and emotions. It's alright if she scolded me but I don't think that you deserve this too." Sei found her temper rising as she continued.

"Shall I talk to her?" Youko said.

"Youko sama.." Yumi cried pleadingly.

"I think we should leave it to Sachiko and Yumi to sort it between themselves first. Plus, we would seem like outsiders trying to meddle in affairs. We'll see the progress over the next few days first alright?" Sei stated.

"Yes, alright. I hope it is resolved by then or I'll have to re educate Sachiko in her values." Youko replied.

"Sorry to disturb your night Sei sama, Youko sama. I shall leave now." Yumi blushed as she finished her sentence.

"No will do, Yumi chan. Stay here for the night. It's late already and moreover, it's also raining. I'll send you back home tomorrow." Sei voiced.

"Yes.. Sei sama." Yumi gave in.

"Youko, would you mind helping me get out that futon? I'm going to call up Yumi's mother." Sei pointed towards the cabinet as she headed towards the phone.

After coaxing and putting Yumi to bed, Sei and Youko were back in their room.

"Sei, are you sure it's okay to leave her like that?" Youko asked.

"Yes I guess it'll be fine. You're a worry tart as usual." Sei smiled.

"Shall we continue?"

----------

Sachiko was worried. Very terribly worried. She did not see Yumi in school that day. It's either she didn't turn up, or that she meant to avoid her. Sachiko was regretting what she had said to her petite soeur the previous night.

'I shouldn't have been so harsh on her. I should have listened. But, that thought of her being with Sei is just.. so damn annoying and irritating. I couldn't control my anger anymore. I don't understand myself. Have I become so selfish that I won't let anyone come near Yumi at all?' Sachiko thought in regret.

As her concern and anxiousness increased, Sachiko decided to visit the staff office.

"Sensei, has Fukuzawa Yumi reported sick for the day?" Sachiko enquired.

"Ah, Ogasawara san. Yes, apparently a person named Satou Sei called in to say that Yumi won't be attending school today." The teacher answered.

Immediately, rage overwhelmed Sachiko as she heard the sentence. Days of pent up feelings came rushing back to her with an even greater impact.

'How could she do this to me?! I was here worrying over her for the whole morning and she is with Sei?!. All of this was for naught! That's it! So that is her final choice. Sei over me? Have I lost her to Sei? No! I hate to lose. I shall never lose. I will never ever lose to anyone! I shall be the first to initiate the break up of your relationship if need be. I..' Sachiko found herself at a loss as tears streamed down her face.

Sachiko found herself running out of the staff office. She kept running with no aim in mind. She couldn't control any of her emotions now. If she were to see anyone, she would either break down or explode in frenzy.

----------

"Sachiko sama?" Shimako looked at Sachiko with worry.

Sachiko looked dazed. She was expressionless during the whole Yamayurikai meeting. Everyone was terribly worried.

"Sachiko sama, do you know why Yumi hasn't turned up for the day?" Shimako continued.

Sachiko responded to the name. That name.

"Yumi?! What has Yumi got to do with me?! She has her own matters and I have mine. So stop questioning me about her!" Sachiko shouted.

Shock registered on their faces as Rei, Yoshino, Shimako and Noriko looked at her.

"I'm sorry. Shimako, I didn't mean to shout at you. I'm very sorry. Please excuse me." With that, Sachiko took her coat and bag and hurried out of the mansion. She couldn't stay there any longer. She had to get herself away from her friends in case she hurt them again. Following this, Sachiko headed home quickly.

----------

Yumi's fingers were sore. Sore from all the knitting she had done for the day. She had been focusing on the scarf she intended to make for her onesama and was very worried that she would not be able to finish in time. She had skipped school for the day. There was hardly a head start in time as there are only two more days left to delivering it. Despite the fact that she had fallen out with her onesama, Yumi wanted to finish it. She wanted to be able to still provide her with a birthday present that was from her heart. It was more than a scarf. It represented the whole of her.

Before long, night came.

"Hello, may I speak to Sei sama please?" Yumi voiced.

"Ahhh~ Yumi chan! How are you feeling? Better already? Don't over exert yourself alright?" Sei asked with concern.

In the background, Yumi heard another voice. It seemed somewhat familiar. Then it dawned on her.

'Youko sama!' Yumi thought as she gasped.

"Erm.. Sei sama. I feel very much better already. Sorry for imposing on you yesterday. I shall not disturb you any further. Thank you very much for your hospitality! Goodbye." Yumi said as she prepared to put down the phone.

"Yumi chan? Yumi chan! Yu—" Yumi shut the receiver. She thought that she had been interrupting something again.

'Sorry for everything onasama, Sei sama. Because of me, everything is bad between the three of us. I didn't want this to happen. What have I done wrong? I don't want to lose anyone. But if I had to choose, I would still want to be with you. Onesama.. You gave me a new life by granting me to be your soeur. No matter what happens in future, I will still love you. And I will never ever leave you.' Yumi looked at the half knitted scarf and held it close to her heart. Yumi was aching, pain throbbing deeply inside of her.
