I don't own any of the characters, I wish I did because they are amazing, but a girl can dream XD

Blue eyes sleepily opened as the sun filtered through a crack in the curtains spreading warmth every place it touched. Sachiko squinted until her eyes became adjusted to the light that had woken her up but as she laid there her thoughts filled with what happened between Yumi and herself hours before. It was known now the feelings she had kept inside of her for nearly a year and to have Yumi return them.

They stayed in each others arms on the floor for the longest of times as their hearts beat against one other, simply taking pleasure in being so close, not saying a word as their ears echoed those handful of words moments before.

Yumi's' head was spinning so much she could barely breathe but her heart was so happy! She wanted to say and do so many things, to release every thing she had kept pent up inside of her for so long, but while that urge filled her she knew things had to be respected – had to go at their own pace. She would show her Onee-sama that it was love and not just simply lust she had for her. Yumi wanted to treat Sachiko as she deserved – she would treat Sachiko as she deserved.

Sachiko was breathless with Yumi being so close to her and from the words she would never forget. So many things were flooding her heart and mind that she was almost unsure what to do or even say, she didn't want to ruin anything that was starting between her and Yumi. It didn't surprise her when she felt Yumi move back a little and see determination in those dark eyes.

"Onee-sama…"

"Hai, Yumi, I understand."

The older girl had understood the meaning behind Yumi's unspoken words as they had both stood to embrace one another once more. Absent mindedly Sachiko touched her cheek where Yumi had given her the briefest kiss before heading into the other room and while Sachiko would have been content to be next to Yumi all night, she understood that they both needed time. She did not regret the choice made but respected Yumi all the more for making it. Sachiko could feel her heart beat fast at the thought of what loving Yumi would bring to her life. Perhaps she would be able to express herself in ways like she did in her dreams she had each night...

She rolled over on to her side clutching the pillow as she realized her life had just changed, that she had changed – no - was still changing. Yumi had such an affect on her that at first she hadn't even see it coming. Sachiko could look back at her time with Yumi and pick out each moment that had changed her in some manner: seeing Yumi standing in front of Mother Maria, the confession in the greenhouse about Suguru being her betrothed, becoming soeurs, their first date after Valentines, the time spent at her summer house, meeting each others parents on Sports Day…

But there were moments that truly affected Sachiko when she remembered them, things that had happened between herself and Yumi. The feeling she had in her heart when she thought Yumi had been ignoring her around Valentines Day, the day Yumi stood there in front of her after her grandmothers' funeral, the kiss Yumi had given her hand, receiving Yumi's postcard from Italy telling her how she missed her, and their amusement park date. In those moments Sachiko had felt a weight lift from her heart and something begin to rush inside of her.

*She melted the ice inside of me.*

Sachiko's heart fluttered as she heard movement in the adjoining room that made a smile instantly come to her face as she got up to make herself presentable, catching herself paying extra attention suddenly to every choice she made in getting ready. Blushing she very carefully she opened the door between the rooms to see Yumi doing her morning routine seeing the younger girl not notice her there.

In so many ways this part of Yumi's life fascinated her and she took in everything she saw. Yumi was hanging upside down from a bar that was put in the closet door frame doing sit ups, her body moving easily to lift itself up and then down again. While Sachiko understood the point of the exercise she was amazed at the results when she caught glimpses of Yumi's stomach, especially when the younger girl used those muscles to pull herself up. For reasons beyond her knowledge Sachiko could not move her eyes from the delicate contours of Yumi's stomach. The idea of such strength housed in a very feminine form ignited heat in her body.

"How long are you going to stand there, Onee-sama?" Yumi asked as she lowered her body from the bar and turned around, smiling softly as she wiped the sweat from her face.

A blush rose to Sachiko's cheeks at being caught as she entered the room to sit on the edge of the bed. She really liked how Yumi looked a bit sweaty, breathing hard and slightly flushed – it made the blush on her cheeks burn brighter.

"I didn't want to interrupt you while you worked. I enjoy watching you." Sachiko said with a small smile.

Yumi blushed a bit as she sat next to Sachiko and then laid back on the bed to let her screaming stomach muscles relax a bit, not caring that her shirt exposed a rather large amount of said stomach. She closed her eyes to relax her body and brain for a few moments. While she had been exercising her body her mind had also been working as hard in what their confessions of love would mean. While still a bit confused in how to really proceed all she could come up with was to simply follow her heart and be truthful. She would follow that because she wanted to prove herself to Sachiko that while she might not have money or stature she could still have something to offer.

Sachiko took a sideways glance at Yumi but her eyes were eventually drawn to the exposed skin. She had a better view of Yumi's stomach than she did when she was in a swimsuit her mind had been rather distracted to take in everything thing but right now she couldn't help herself.

*Sachiko, why can't you control yourself when it comes to seeing Yumi's flesh?*

That was one of the changes within herself that had frightened her so completely – her Desire. It was her Desire for Yumi that could make her so outspoken and bold, that could make her seem so much unlike herself – so unlady like.

"Y…Y…Yumi…?"

"Hmmm?"

*I can't control…*

Yumi's breath caught in her throat at feeling the softest of touches against her stomach. She held still, to not frighten away Sachiko or to have the touch stop, as she opened her eyes to watch her Onee-sama. Her eyes widened as she saw her Onee-samas' hand shaking and that confused look on her face before her fingers shot back into her lap before she immediately stood up.

"You should bathe and we should make plans what we should do today." Sachiko's voice was a bit shaky as she kept her back to Yumi and tightly clasped her hands together.

"I had planned on us hitting the lake by the dock today since the radio last night said it was supposed to be very hot. The cabin stays cool but not cool enough for you to be comfortable even if we turned on the fans. After the swim I thought we could go into the village and I could show you around, have lunch perhaps, and then come back." Yumi said as she sat up and put her hand on Sachiko's arm, trying to ease her Onee-sama from whatever was upsetting her.

"That sounds wonderful, I will go and change into my suit and meet you downstairs." Sachiko gave a small smile and closed the door behind her, leaning up against it for a moment.

*Kami-sama…I am going to be in trouble*

0o0o0

"Oh the water looks so good! Let's go, Onee-sama!" Yumi squealed with excitement as she grabbed Sachiko's hand to try and hurry the older girl to the dock.

"There is no point in hurrying there, Yumi, when we'll need to put on sunscreen so we don't burn in the water." A soft smile on her lips knowing how easy it was to get lost in her petite soeurs excitement.

A frown came to Yumi's face for a moment at the delay in getting into the water but she remembered the one summer she didn't do as Sachiko had just suggested and had been miserable the rest of the trip. She decided it was worth the few minutes more wait; it wasn't like the water was going anywhere.

When they reached the make-shift beach and dock Yumi dug out from their little beach side shack a huge beach umbrella and towels. With ease she placed the umbrella and laid out two towels. She then went back to the shack to dig around until she found the two bottles she was looking for but stopped in her tracks when she saw Sachiko in her black two piece lounging on one of the towels under the umbrella already. The older girl was on her back but propped up on her elbows with sunglasses looking out over the water.

*Kami-sama she is beautiful and she loves me.

I want to sit down next to her and kiss her…*

A blush came to Yumi's face at the thought but it darkened all the more when Sachiko turned her head, lifting her shades into her long hair, and smile at her tenderly. Within moments Yumi found herself drawn into that smile and was at her Onee-samas side, gazing at her.

"Hello, Yumi." Sachiko almost said shyly at the gaze Yumi was giving her.

"H…H…Hello, Onee-sama." Yumi stuttered out of her reverie and held up the bottles in her hand.

"You can either smell like coconuts or mangos."

*Please pick coconut…

Please pick coconut…*

"Mango is too sweet of a smell so coconut please." Sachiko stated as she sat up and took the bottle Yumi offered her.

"Um, Onee-sama?"

"Nani?"

"I…well…I mean, if you wanted, I could…um…I could," Yumi blushed and cleared her throat, "put it…on you…and things…"

*Yes!

No, show control and restraint, just because you expressed your love doesn't mean…

Yes, tell her yes!

No, Sachiko…*

Sachiko did not trust herself to speak afraid for what might actually come out of her mouth and simply handed Yumi back the brown bottle full of sunscreen. She was rewarded with a vibrant blush from Yumi before the girl moved behind her.

"Onee-sama, your hair…" Yumi started to say as she saw Sachiko reach into the bag they brought, pulling out the two chopsticks, to quickly take care of the situation.

Yumi could not tear her eyes from the amount of skin now revealed to her when Sachiko put up her hair as well as noticing the swimsuit she wore tied around her neck and across her back. For a moment it took everything Yumi had to not 'accidentally' untie one of those strings but she chided herself for such an inappropriate thought. She opened the bottle of sunscreen and began putting its contents into her hand.

Every nerve ending Sachiko had was on fire the minute she felt Yumi's sunscreen covered hands touch her shoulders and begin their task. She closed her eyes as she focused on what Yumi was doing - the way her hands moved, the pressure against her back and shoulders. Sachiko was so relaxed she pulled her knees to her chest, arms on top of her knees, as she felt Yumi's hands move to the middle of her back and stop for a moment. She felt the string across her back move slightly as small hands slipped under it to continue rubbing sunscreen on her back quickly as to not be noticed.

*What are you thinking about right now, Yumi?*

"Onee-sama?"

"Hai?" Sachiko responded turning her head to the side to look at Yumi.

"If you lay on your stomach…I…I…can get all of your back." Yumi's eyes went wide at her own suggestion not knowing just where such a comment came from.

*Trouble Sachiko, this will lead to nothing but trouble!*

Once again Sachiko fought with herself in what she should do with her common sense losing each time. Did it make her a bad person? Could there really be such terrible consequences to wanting to give into her desire – to be like that with Yumi?

Yumi saw that Sachiko just sat there not moving and she stood up near ashamed for speaking so brashly but when she turned around a few moments later to apologize, Sachiko was laying on her stomach her head turned looking right at her. Yumi once again saw so many emotions in Sachiko's deep blue eyes as she stood there locked in their gaze. The urge to roll Sachiko over and kiss her surged powerfully through her body and she couldn't help the step forward she took.

*No, control, you must control yourself.

She trusts you, don't ever break that trust.*

Yumi's knees bent to take herself down to the towel next to Sachiko her brown eyes taking in the look of Sachiko on her stomach, arms under her head…waiting. She noticed that Sachiko's eyes never stopped looking at her while her own eyes noticed the curve of her Onee-samas' back all the way to the swell of her heart shaped backside. Yumi could feel herself begin to sweat a little as she reached beside her to grab the sunscreen. A slight frown came to her face as she looked down to not find it next to her. She looked around and saw the bottle laying down around where Sachiko's bag was and without a second thought she straddled Sachiko's hips to reach the bottle.

Sachiko bit her lip hard to keep the moan from escaping her lips as she felt Yumi on top of her, the warmth of the younger girls' thighs driving her mad, and wishing for a split second she would just sit on her. She felt Yumi once again rubbing sunscreen on her back reaching lower and lower…

Yumi's whole body shook with a mixture of pleasure and shock as her downward movement made her most intimate of places brush against the curve of Sachiko's bottom, causing the younger girl to release a breathy moan.

Sachiko reacted without thought, her hips coming up off of the towel to turn over, to realize instantly her mistake. Her quick movement pushed her backside harder against the junction between Yumi's legs.

Intense pleasure and horror flooded Yumi as she realized what she had done and she jumped up off of Sachiko instantly.

"There you go Onee-sama! Your back is completely covered so it's safeforyoutogointothewater!" Yumi practically yelled as she squeezed sunscreen into her hand, briskly covering herself with it, and ran to the dock to jump into the water.

…

*Kami-sama…

Kami-sama!

KAMI-SAMA!*

Yumi's head screamed over and over again at what happened while she held herself under the water hoping to drown. When she couldn't hold her breath any longer she broke the surface to fill her aching lungs once more. What was she thinking? Why did she straddle her Onee-sama like that? Why hadn't she used her brain to realize that such a thing would happen? Yumi's chest was so tight it caused tears to squeeze out of her eyes and she submerged herself once more. She repeated this process four or five times until she went to submerge herself a final time and she couldn't.

"Yumi please stop." Sachiko whispered as she held the girl from behind around the waist.

"Onee-sama!" Yumi choked and sputtered for a moment as she fought the panic inside of her.

"Yumi, stop!" Sachiko hated to use her sternest of voices against her petite soeur but she knew it would get the results she desired as Yumi went limp in her arms.

There was silence between them as Sachiko moved to bring them in a bit more so her long legs could touch the lake bottom, knowing that Yumi was too short with how she was holding her to touch the bottom as well.

"I love you." Sachiko spoke softly, hoping it would erase the fact she had to be stern moment before.

"I love you and what happened is okay, Yumi."

"No, it wasn't okay Onee-sama." Yumi squeezed her eyes shut as she began to cry shaking her head.

"Why? Why wouldn't it be okay?"

"Because that is not showing you respect," her heart hurt so much as she hung her head still crying, "what is worse is that…that…I enjoyed it."

Sachiko's eyes widened at the admission of Yumi. She was happy that she hadn't been the only one who had enjoyed it, once the shock wore off, but at the same time she was confused. Wasn't such reactions normal? She turned Yumi around in her arms with one of her arms holding the girl to her while the other touched her chin to lift it gently. Blue met brown as Sachiko could see so many emotions all over Yumi's face, it breaking her heart. Gently she used her fingers to wipe the tears that were falling until she felt Yumi press against her hand.

"It's alright, my Little One, because I love you and I trust you."

Yumi's eyes widened, opening her mouth to protest but Sachiko put a finger to her lips for a moment to silence her.

"Did you do it with intent to harm?"

"Never!" Yumi shook her head.

"Did you do it with the intent to not stop if I had asked you to?"

The horror flooded Yumi's face again at such a thought that Sachiko almost chuckled.

"Then it is alright, Yumi. I am not angry or upset." Sachiko's thumb gently began to caress the younger girls' cheek.

"Honto?"

"Hai."

Yumi was so relieved she threw her arms around Sachiko's neck tightly as she hugged her causing the older girl to stagger a bit in the water and blush terribly at feeling only the small bits of clothing separate them.

"I love you too, Onee-sama." She whispered into Sachiko's ear before her lips found the older girls earlobe, taking advantage of the stunned Sachiko to wiggle out of her embrace and back into the water.

"Now that was with intent, Onee-sama." Yumi giggled and began to swim away knowing that soon Sachiko would catch up and seek revenge.

Authors Notes: You'll find with fics that I'm not a huge fan of 'oh they confessed now they do it' kind of girl (my Sailor Moon Fic is a testament to that lol!). Both of our girls are new to love and I want them to explore it, learn about it, and find one another. Next chapter will begin to show them relaxing a bit - getting used to the idea of 'dating' one another.

Thank you everyone for sticking with me so far!

Chapter 8 to follow in the days/weeks.
