I don't own any of the characters, I wish I did because they are amazing, but a girl can dream XD
"Don't stop."
"What?"
"Don't stop, please…"
"Do you want me to keep doing..?"
"Please…Onee-sama?…please don't stop."
"I couldn't even if I wanted to…"
"…Onee-sama?"
"Kami-sama you feel so good…"
"I love you, Onee-sama?..."
"Onee-sama!" Yumi panicked as Sachiko's fishing rod began to let out more line as a fish had taken the bait, the older girl not hearing her as she called her name several times.
Without even thinking she jumped into Sachiko's lap hoping to knock the girl out from wherever her thoughts were to help her with what was most important – dinner. Yumi's bad hand screamed in defiance as she grabbed at the spinning reel, trying in vain to stop it from letting line out, so she could bring the fish in.
Sachiko was violently knocked out of her daydream when she felt something heavy crash into her, surprised to see Yumi in her lap.
"Yumi…?"
"The fish! Reel it in! Reel it in!" Yumi nearly begged, imagining her dinner getting away.
Sachiko and Yumi worked as a team to bring in the rather large fish that pulled hard to stay in the water but it wasn't hard enough. With one final unlady like grunt Sachiko pulled back hard on the fishing rod just in time to see Yumi jump off her lap to nearly catch the fish in her arms.
"Fu fu fu!" Yumi laughed as she nearly began to drool at the size of the huge fish in her arms.
"Onee-sama, you might want to turn your head." Yumi said making quick work of the hook as she turned to see Sachiko watching her intently, as if seeing a live fish for the first time, before looking back down at the fish her hand beginning to open its mouth.
"Turn my head? Why would I…"
Sachiko's sentence was cut short as a terrible "SNAP!" seemed to echo all around her as she saw Yumi force open the jaws of the fish and snap its neck. Bile rose in the back of her throat as she spun around to regain control of herself, hearing all sorts of noises coming from where Yumi was.
Yumi smiled triumphantly as she put the now dead fish into the cooler of ice. She had secured her dinner and would win this competition if it killed her!
"Are you guys ready for some fishing now?" Yuki asked in a tank top and swimming shorts, Suguru dressed the same.
"Hai! All the gear is here we just have to divide it up." Yumi said as she controlled the expression on her face, the memory of Sachiko's lips against hers still fresh in her mind.
"I have to admit that I have never fished before, is it incredibly difficult?" Suguru said as he picked up the nearest fishing rod to examine it.
"I can teach you Sempai, if you want to learn." Yuki said when suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"What do you guys say to fishing in pairs and seeing who catches the biggest fish?"
"I'm not sure, I have never fished either." Sachiko said as she turned around to face the group, her mind also on the kiss she had shared moments before with Yumi.
"Oh! How about the team who catches the biggest fish lets the other team scale, gut, AND cook dinner?"
"Yumi, I wouldn't know how to do those things and I'm not entirely sure that we should…"
"Oh come now, Saachan, you don't want a little friendly competition? Yukichi and I are the men here so I guess we would win by default because we're stronger to catch the biggest fish." Suguru said as he turned his nose up to her, the Fukuzawa siblings' eyes going wide at such a tactic.
Blue eyes met purple ones, flashing with anger, as she stood her full height in front of her cousin.
"Fine, challenge accepted, though I'll add a little more to the bet: If WE win you leave before my birthday and if YOU win you can stay." Sachiko's anger getting the better of her as she instantly understood by the smile on Suguru's face she had been tricked.
"Deal. You'll love my birthday present, Saachan." He tossed over his shoulder as he walked out of the cabin, Yuki following shortly.
Sachiko turned around once she was sure she would not be sick in front of Yumi to see the younger girl drying her hand on a towel they had brought with a wide smile on her face. A smile came to Sachiko's face as she watched Yumi walk closer to her and use her good hand to caress her cheek softly.
"What had you so distracted that we almost lost that huge fish?"
A blush came to Sachiko's face as she remembered her day dream of kissing
Yumi…everywhere. While she had admitted things to Yumi there were a few things she wasn't exactly ready to talk about, it was a little embarrassing. It wasn't what she had been thinking of that was embarrassing but the fact that such a day dream had come to her in a very inappropriate time. She didn't think for a minute anything she chose to share with Yumi could be embarrassing.
Yumi could see the flurry of emotions go across her Onee-sama's face, a sight she was beginning to see as normal while being at the cabin, and smiled softly. Her thoughts had been confirmed that Sachiko had been thinking about her or at least something 'very unlady like'.
"You know, I was going to kiss you but after nearly costing us that huge fish…" Yumi said in a rather teasing voice, her eyes closing to show her 'seriousness', though she cracked one of her eyes open to look at Sachiko.
"Yumiiii…." Sachiko whined as she took a step closer to the girl, upset she wasn't going to feel Yumi's lips again.
"You're not really serious are you?" Worry began to lace Sachiko's voice.
"I don't know Onee-sama, that was a pretty big fish…" Yumi watched as Sachiko's face fell a little before she couldn't help but laugh.
Sachiko heard Yumi laugh.
*She…she was teasing me!
Kami-sama I whined…
Ohhhh, that is not fair Yumi!*
Yumi continued to laugh, so happy that she could tease and be this way with her Onee-sama especially getting her to whine, but her laugh was cut short as she released a surprised "EEP!" as she was 'tossed' into the chair with a Sachiko following. Her eyes went wide at her Onee-sama's reaction, the bold forcefulness as those blue eyes were filled with happiness and determination. The weight of Sachiko straddling her legs made her shiver.
"Enjoying your teasing?"
"H..hhh…hai, Onee-sama." Yumi said a little breathless at their position and Sachiko being so close.
"Oh?"
"Of course, look where you are." Yumi grinned as she wrapped her arms around Sachiko's body to hold her there.
Sachiko chuckled realizing that her attempt to…well she wasn't really sure what came over her but she was enjoying the results none the less. She moved her head to press her lips to Yumi's as; once again, an electrical shot surged through her body. The older girl couldn't get enough of this feeling as she turned her head to lock her lips better with Yumi's whose good hand was clenching her shirt. Sachiko wanted to deepen the kiss, she wanted to kiss Yumi like she had heard the girls at school talk about doing with their boyfriends, she wanted… A blush went across her face as she thought about their tongues.
Yumi could feel the incredible heat that Sachiko was giving off over top of her and it drove her wild. While she wanted to deepen the kiss, to see what would happen, what they would feel – she knew this wasn't the place. She broke the kiss and chuckled softly as Sachiko's lips followed hers to kiss her once more. It was hard to not give in to those soft lips, the heat between them, but they had a competition to win and then they could celebrate. She pulled back once more and when Sachiko followed again she put her hand up to press her fingers against the older girls.
"When we win the competition we can celebrate, Onee-sama."

There was silence.
Complete and utter silence.
"So…" Yumi started.
"…a tie?" Yuki finished as he looked at both scales holding each team's biggest fish.
Sachiko looked at the read out and both scales said 12.52 pounds. How could such a thing be possible? She was supposed to win not tie with her annoying and intrusive cousin.
"What does this mean for dinner and our side bet?" Suguru said sitting down at the dinner table, his stomach rumbling to make it known he was being serious.
Yumi and Yuki looked at each other and shrugged.
"How about this," Yuki said after a moments thought, "since Yumi and I made the original bet we'll BOTH clean and cook since it was a tie. Sachiko-sama and you made the second part of the bet; you two decide what you want to happen."
"I can agree to that." Suguru said as he stood up to walk over to Sachiko to begin their discussion.
"I can scale, gut, and clean the fish faster than you so I'll be outside doing that if you want to start on the rice and other things?" Yumi asked Yuki with a slight blush, knowing her cooking was sometimes not very good.
"Sure and while you're out there you can grill them as well since I always end up burning more of myself then the fish." It was Yuki's turn to blush while Yumi chuckled before heading out back to the cooler full of fish.
"Wait, what about with your bad hand? How are you going to do all of that stuff?" Yuki asked as he pointed to the cast.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I'm sure even with my hand I can still get done faster than you could with two good ones!" Yumi laughed as she ran to the door ducking as one of Yuki's shoes came flying by her head.
Sachiko watched Yumi go; politely waiting until Suguru finished his thoughts to her, and signaled that she needed a moment and would return as she followed the smaller girl out.
…
"Yumi what are you doing?" Sachiko asked when she found Yumi in the back and hearing the strangest of noises.
"Onee-sama? What are you doing out here? I thought you were talking with Kashiwagi?" Yumi stopped scaling her last fish, scales all over her arms and face.
"I am talking to him but what are you doing that is making you covered in…whatever those things are?" Sachiko moved to crouch next to Yumi and try to pick off the few unknown objects from her face.
"Oh, those are scales from the fish. I have to take off all the scales before I gut and clean them out." She said blushing that she was dirty and that her Onee-sama was cleaning her off.
"Would…would you like to learn, Onee-sama?" Yumi almost whispered knowing that while it would be a new adventure it would be difficult to convince the older girl.
"I would love to." A blush coming to her face.
Brown eyes widened as a huge smile came over her face. It took restraint to not hug Sachiko with her happiness but refrained knowing that she was covered in scales.
"Okay, then come crouch where I am right now and we can get started."
Sachiko moved to where Yumi was, looking down at the fish with a few knives next to it, very unsure what to do and why she even agreed.
*That's not true.
You agreed because you want to learn everything about Yumi and share in so many things with her.*
Another blush went through Sachiko as she felt Yumi crouch behind her, as if holding her, and poked her head around the side to see what was going on before grabbing her hands to guide her. Sachiko immediately loving the feeling of Yumi around her like this as she pressed herself up against the smaller girl.
"Now with this hand hold the fish by the tail and take this knife in your other, good. Watch what I do because you want to make sure all the scales are off before you eat it." Yumi said as she showed what needed to be done but not without noticing the pressure suddenly against her body.
The pressure felt good as her mind wandered to the fact of the position her and Sachiko were in, such a thought sent shivers down her spine. She couldn't help the heat she knew was going to come but since kissing Sachiko, there hadn't been anything else on her mind but her feelings and the heat, it felt like she was on fire all the time.
*I wonder if Onee-sama thinks about the same things?*
Sachiko knew that scaling a dead fish should not be a time or a place to be focusing her thoughts on the heat she was feeling coming from Yumi behind her. Nothing about dead fish was an invitation for such pleasure but since their kiss it had been obvious to Sachiko that it consumed her mind. Here she was learning things she never would have thought all because of how she felt about Yumi.
"That's good! Now let me feel with my hands to see if you got them all."
Sachiko's cheeks burned at feeling Yumi press her chest against her back harder as she leaned forward to pick up the fish, the smaller girls' arms on either side of her waist as her hands explored the fish. For a moment Sachiko was jealous that those hands were on something other than herself.
*You are jealous of a dead fish?
It's food, not a person!*
"Everything is great, Onee-sama, you did an amazing job for it being your first time." Yumi said happily as she sat the fish down and rested her head against Sachiko's back, just so happy to be sharing this moment with her.
"What's next to do?" Sachiko asked while she closed her eyes to enjoy the feeling of Yumi resting on her.
*I could stay like this forever.
Yumi being like this with you…
…is changing my world.*
"You have to go and talk with Kashiwagi, Onee-sama, gutting fish isn't something that you really might…"
"Teach me."
There was silence for a moment.
"Gutting a fish would require you to cut open its' flesh and remove it's insides with your hands. Is that something you really want to do? You would be covered in blood and innards if a mistake was made." Yumi asked making sure her Onee-sama knew just what she was getting into.
Sachiko could feel the bile rise in her throat for the second time in the day as she heard Yumi explain what it was she would be doing. True she did need to talk to Suguru but the desire to be at the smaller girls' side had a stronger pull than she realized. Sachiko was now able to understand the phrase 'Love is a distraction'.
*Perhaps a compromise?*
"What about a compromise? What if you do the next step, I watch to the best of my ability, while I talk to you about what should be done with what I need to talk about with Suguru?"
"Deal, we'll just need to switch places since this isn't something I can do with a taller girl in front of me. You'll have to be behind if you like." She said with a slight chuckle as Sachiko all but instantly changed places with her.
…
"Were you aware?"
"Sempai, this isn't any of our business…"
"Were you aware of your sister and Saachan?"
A sigh came from the shorter of the two people standing in front of the window watching the two girls out in the yard.
"What my sister chooses to do is her own business but as her brother it's my job to support her and protect her if she needs it." Yuki said, so very happy that his sister and Sachiko had finally reached that point in their relationship.
"It doesn't bother you that they are two women?"
"No, if Yumi is happy then I am happy." Yuki turned to go back to the cooking.
"What about staying here for Saachan's birthday? Is that something you wish to attend?" Suguru asked as he too turned and sat back at the table.
"No. They should be left alone to figure their relationship out. If you are going to insist on staying to ruin it then I will ask you to leave and I will find another way home." Yuki's brown eyes were deadly serious as he looked at his Sempai.
Suguru weighed the look Yuki was giving him, never once hearing the boy speak out like that, and nodded.
*Too bad Saachan, Sei will be disappointed she won't be able to come.*
Authors Notes: I was going to finish off this chapter but decided to cut it so that you, my dear readers, would have something to read since it's been longer than normal for an update. I'm sorry for that - things have just been busy - but that doesn't mean I have forgotten you!
Thank you for your kind words and encouragements!
Chapter 12 to follow in the days/weeks.
