A/N: Well here it is chapter 4! I hope you enjoy this one, it wasn't easy to get out today with my friend in town and I won't have tons of time to write until later in the week unfortunately! I will keep everyone updated through PM's and my profile page of course though :)

Sachiko

"If you don't tell her then I will." This thought and the fact that Sachiko asked Yumi to meet her the next day had made it hard for her to fall asleep. When she did fall asleep though she could only dream about the greenhouse where she would tell Yumi how she felt. Her dreams were different tonight, she wasn't kissing Yumi or going any farther with her, instead she just simply confessed her feelings for the younger girl.

Sachiko's eyes slowly opened yet again, she couldn't even keep track of how many times she had woken from her sleep this night. The thought of telling Yumi was scary and Sachiko was unsure how Yumi would react, she didn't really have a choice though, Youko made sure of that.

I wonder if it was a good idea to tell her? Sachiko thought with her eyes closed trying to go back to sleep. Youko had always been there for Sachiko, but basically forcing Sachiko to tell Yumi was something that Sachiko had not seen coming. Youko had said that Sachiko should tell her how she feels and Sachiko also knew that eventually she would have to, especially because this secret was destroying her relationship with Yumi, but that didn't mean it would be easy.

When Sachiko had finally been awoken by her alarm clock she felt her heart beating and breathing a little uneasy. The time was coming and her nerves were already growing inside of her as she got ready trying her hardest to act normal.

Yumi

Yumi slowly approached the greenhouse stopping only feet from the door to take one last brief look at the rosary in her hand before entering. "Onee-sama, I'm here like you asked." Yumi said before taking a deep breath.

Sachiko turned and put her hand out towards Yumi. "I think you know why I called you here, Yumi..."

Yumi's eyes popped open, instantly grabbing the rosary around her neck as tears filled her eyes. "I don't want to give it back..." She mumbled before the tears escaped her eyes making their way down the side of her face to the bed below her.

Yumi didn't know what Sachiko wanted to meet her for exactly, but with the way things had been going Yumi could only guess it was to take the rosary back. Yumi tried hard to get back to sleep but the tears flowing from her eyes and the her quiet sobs made it no easy task.

Shimako, Noriko, Touko

"Did Sachiko-sama look upset when she told you she wouldn't be at the meeting yesterday?" Noriko asked as the bus arrived at their stop where Touko was waiting for them like usual.

"No, but she did not look happy... She almost looked, hurt." Shimako replied following Noriko off the bus.

When the girls got off they made there way to Touko and exchanged greetings before continuing the rest of there way to school on foot.

"Touko-san, do you know anything more about Sachiko-sama and Yumi-san yet?" Noriko asked curiously, usually Shimako would tell her in a nice way to mind her own business, but after seeing Sachiko yesterday she couldn't help but be curious also.

"I still don't know anything for sure but, I know Onee-sama thinks Sachiko-sama hates her and Sachiko-sama cried because of it." Touko replied bitterly.

"Sachiko-sama cried?" Shimako asked surprised. "Whatever is bothering her must be serious."

Touko nodded still trying to figure out what was going on. "I agree, I just wish she would tell us, she is destroying her relationship with Onee-sama."

"She is?" Noriko questioned, she had not seen either Sachiko or Yumi for a day or two and didn't know anything else except that Sachiko skipped the meeting yesterday and Yumi looked sad.

Touko sighed as the girls continued down the side walk, the gates of Lillian coming into sight. "Yes, I'll tell you what happened yesterday but you have to promise to keep it between us." Touko said thinking back to the day before.

"We won't tell." Noriko said honestly, she was concerned for Sachiko and Yumi just like everyone had been and this sounded serious. If they knew, then maybe they could help Touko figure out what the problem was.

"Well, yesterday when I got to school I had a talk with Sachiko-sama..." Touko started to explain as she told the rest of the story to Shimako and Noriko.

"She hit Yumi's hand away?" Noriko asked a bit surprised after hearing everything that took place the previous day. "Why would she do that?"

"I don't know. The fact that she cried right after has me worried." Touko admitted.

"I agree, I've never heard of Sachiko-sama crying before, especially in a place where people can see her." Shimako added as the girls arrived at the school. "We will have to talk about this later, let's just hope nothing happens between the two."

"I agree, there isn't much we can do until we figure out what is wrong with Sachiko-sama." Noriko added looking at Touko.

"You're right, unfortunately. All we can do for now is try and keep the two happy." Touko admitted before the three said there goodbyes and made their way to class.

Sachiko and Rei

Rei sat in her desk looking up at the clock before glancing back at Sachiko's still empty desk. If she doesn't get here soon she will be late. Rei thought to herself, which was odd because usually Sachiko was very early.

Rei somewhat got her answer to Sachiko's late arrival when she saw the raven haired girl walk in with a fearful expression on her face. "Sachiko, are you alright?" Rei asked worriedly after making her way over to Sachiko quickly.

Sachiko was startled by Rei as she turned her head with a gasp. "I'm fine, Rei." Sachiko assured her as best she could.

"You sure? You seem like a nervous wreck, did something happen?" Rei asked noting Sachiko's unease when she spoke to her.

"Not yet..." Sachiko sighed as the teacher came into the room and asked everyone to take their seats. Rei had no choice but to comply as she made her way back to her own desk still curious about Sachiko's mood. Not yet? What is she expecting, if it hasn't happened yet? Rei thought as class started.

She couldn't help but steal glances at Sachiko who looked lost in thought, whatever she was thinking about seemed to disturb her, at least that is what Rei thought.

When lunchtime came around Rei immediately went back to Sachiko who was so lost in her thoughts about what she would say later that day, that she hadn't even heard the lunch bell.

"Sachiko, you should eat. It will help with whatever is bothering you, I'm sure." Rei said as she took the seat in front of Sachiko.

Sachiko looked at Rei for a moment as her words registered in her restless mind. "I'm not hungry." Sachiko replied which was the truth, the last thing on her mind right now was food and she was so nervous that she had completely lost her appetite.

"Sachiko, what happened? I know you don't want to tell anyone but it's obvious that you are having a hard time with it." Rei finally asked firmly, she didn't want to be pushy but Sachiko needed help with this situation.

"I can't tell you." Sachiko replied quietly as she turned her head.

"Well then give me a hint at least. Is it about Yumi?" Rei asked as Sachiko remained silent. "Alright, so it's about Yumi then. What did she do to you Sachiko?" Rei asked knowing that Sachiko's silence was basically her way of saying yes without actually saying it.

"She didn't do anything." Sachiko replied turning her attention back to Rei.

Rei shook her head, she was going to have to be more aggressive if she wanted answers. "Is this about the kiss on your cheek?" Rei asked causing Sachiko to blush as the that memory popped in her head. "Alright so Yumi kissed your cheek, what is the big deal?" Rei continued noticing Sachiko's reaction to the question.

"There is no big deal, Yumi never kissed my cheek." Sachiko replied looking down at her desk. "She never would anyways, she hates me... I just hope she hears my apology today." Sachiko mumbled the pain from yesterday's events returning to her.

Rei remained silent for a moment before clearing her throat. "Sachiko, how can you say something like that, Yumi-chan loves you."

"Yes, I know. She loves me as her Onee-sama, you told me that the other day." Sachiko said bitterly, the words still had a sting to them.

Rei raised an eyebrow in confusing. "Let me get this straight, you're mad that Yumi doesn't love yo..." Rei trailed off mid sentence as the pieces started to fall in place, Sachiko hadn't been mad at Yumi she had been hiding something from Yumi. "Sachiko...Do you love Yumi-chan?" Rei asked hesitantly as Sachiko's eyes went wide before she turned her head away unsure of what she should say.

Rei was stunned, had she really just figured out why Sachiko had been acting so weird around the younger girl? It all made sense, Sachiko being in a dreamy state from Yumi kissing her cheek, the stares she gave Yumi during the Yamayurikai meetings, all of it made sense even the cold reactions that Sachiko gave when she was unsure of a situation. It was all because she had been hiding her feelings for Yumi and didn't know how to deal with it.

"So that is why that simple kiss has been on your mind so much." Rei said still in a bit of disbelief.

Sachiko sighed, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore from Rei anymore. "She never kissed me, Rei. It just happened in a dream." Sachiko said turning her attention back to Rei who was silent. "Does it make you uneasy knowing that your friend is a lesbian?" Sachiko asked somewhat harshly, she knew not everyone would agree with her decision, but she loved Yumi and couldn't deny that.

"What, no! I don't care if you are a...well, you know." Rei said not feeling very comfortable saying the word out loud, it almost felt offensive. "Anyways, you said it happened in a dream? If it was only a dream then why is it bothering you so much?" Rei asked trying to get off the awkward topic of Sachiko being a lesbian.

"It's not the only dream I've had Rei and the more involved these dreams get the more and more feelings I experience, whenever I'm around her I just can't control myself, but today that ends." Sachiko said with a big sigh towards the end.

Rei just looked at her raising an eyebrow in confusion, which asked the question without words.

"I told my Onee-sama about it and she said if I didn't tell Yumi she would, so I am meeting her after school today." Sachiko explained feeling a sudden rush of nerves again when she realized that time was growing ever closer with each tick of the clock.

Rei didn't even know where to begin, Sachiko had just dropped a ton of surprising information on her. "So, you are going to confess to Yumi later today because Youko-sama will if you don't?"

"Yes, I had thought about just letting Youko tell her, but I realized I should be the one to tell her. I hurt Yumi and I need to apologize to her, I just hope she will understand and not turn her back on me like I did her." Sachiko replied a bit sadly.

Rei smiled at Sachiko. "Don't worry, Sachiko, I'm sure Yumi will understand."

"Thanks, Rei, please keep this between me and you though, I will tell the others when I'm ready." Sachiko asked as Rei stood from her seat to go back to her own desk, class was about to start again.

"Don't worry, Sachiko. Your secret is safe with me."

Yumi and Yoshino

"Yumi-san are you alright?" Yoshino asked noticing Yumi had been down since she entered the classroom earlier this morning, it was now lunch time and Yoshino finally had a chance to talk with her.

"I'm fine..." Yumi mumbled, her mind still on the idea that she would be giving up the rosary she couldn't bring herself to stop touching.

Yoshino sighed noticing her hand on her chest where the rosary should be hanging under her uniform. "Yumi-san, tell me whats going on, you have looked like you've been on the verge of crying ever since you entered the classroom this morning." Yoshino said taking a seat at the desk in front of Yumi facing her with a concerned look.

"Onee-sama, doesn't like me anymore..." Yumi said as a tear finally made it's way to her eye, she had been holding back all day but hearing what she thought to be the truth hurt.

"No she doesn't, Yumi-san. Sachiko-sama is just going through a tough time, that's all." Yoshino said trying to reassure Yumi, Yoshino had no idea of the events that took place the day before.

"Then why is she taking her rosary back today?" Yumi asked through the quiet sobs that were becoming increasingly hard to control.

Yoshino was shocked by this information, she had no idea what Yumi was talking about. "She is doing what?!" Yoshino asked desperate to know what was going on.

Yumi sniffled and wiped her eyes trying to calm down a little, so she could speak clearly. "She called me last night and asked me to meet her in the greenhouse after school. I can only imagine after yesterday that she wants her rosary back." Yumi said closing her eyes trying hard not to let her emotions take hold of her again, though in the end it failed as tears fells from her eyes to her desk.

"Yumi..." Yoshino breathed, she really had no idea what to say. She knew Sachiko was acting oddly but was it really because she wanted her rosary back?

"It's alright, Yoshino. I've already decided what I'm going to do, if you don't mind though I need some space right now." Yumi said weakly before burying her face into her arms that were resting on her desk.

Yoshino didn't need to know anymore right now, the sound of Yumi's soft cries were enough as she shook her head in disbelief. Sachiko will be in for a world of trouble if she hurts Yumi... Yoshino thought as she made her way back to her own desk, she wouldn't interfere with the greenhouse meeting today, but she wouldn't let Sachiko go so easily if she really did hurt Yumi.

Sachiko and Yumi

Sachiko took a deep breath as the greenhouse came into sight, she couldn't help but pause in her nervousness trying to see if Yumi was already inside waiting for her. Thankfully, Yumi had not gotten there yet and Sachiko would be able to enter and gather her thoughts a little bit, which at this point she needed more than anything.

When Yumi gets here I will tell her I'm sorry first and then tell her that I love her... Sachiko thought with a sigh towards the end, it helped to calm her nerves that were starting to make themselves known within her. No, perhaps I should just tell her that I love her first followed by an apology? Sachiko shook her head thinking about the day before. "Why did Onee-sama force me to do this...? I'm so nervous that I probably won't be able to tell her anyways, maybe I really should just let Onee-sama tell Yumi." Sachiko said to herself as she stood and made her way to the door stopping only a few feet away from it.

If I leave now though, I will just hurt Yumi more, I told her I would meet her here so I should be here. Sachiko thought with another deep breath as she put her head down, she felt as though she was imprisoned by this greenhouse and her thoughts of Yumi. Sachiko made her way back to the edge of a raised garden and took a seat on the stone wall surrounding it with her head still down, lost in thought as to what she was going to do when Yumi arrived.

Yumi hadn't even realized how slow she was walking as she stared at the rosary she had resting in her left hand, she knew that this was her final moments with it and she was going to make sure she cherished them. Yumi sighed as she looked up and saw the greenhouse in the distance before taking another glance at the rosary. "I guess this is the end of the line." Yumi said to herself as she walked ever closer to this place which she had been dreading all day.

Yumi could only remember the day that Sachiko had given her the rosary atop the hill overlooking the festival, it had been one of the best days of her life. Why she had ever refused Sachiko in the first place was still beyond her, she had always been a Sachiko fan. Yumi couldn't help but smile just a little bit at the memory before a sharp pain took her heart by storm, this wasn't a time to be happy, after all she was about to lose her Onee-sama.

Yumi's eyes wandered from the stone pathway that she had been walking on up to the greenhouse where she could see Sachiko awaiting her arrival with her head down. She must be having a hard time figuring out how to keep our split secret. Yumi thought as she placed a hand on the doorknob of the greenhouse and with one last deep breath and a tear coming to her eye she opened the door and took a step inside.

Sachiko lifted her head surprised, realizing she was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Yumi approaching let alone standing at the greenhouse door. Sachiko could feel her heart start to beat fast as she looked upon the girl of her dreams before standing and taking a deep breath, she knew this was it, this was the moment she had been fearing and thinking about all day long. The moment she finally told Yumi how she felt, only this time it wasn't in a dream.

"Yumi.." Sachiko said softly as Yumi lifted her head exposing her tear filled eyes, which shocked Sachiko.

"I'm sorry, Onee... Sachiko-sama." Yumi said with a heavy sigh as she clenched the rosary in her hand tight. "Sachiko-sama, I know you don't like me anymore and whatever I did to you I'm sorry. I know why you called me here today, but I want to tell you something first." Yumi said much to Sachiko's surprise, how did Yumi find out? Sachiko was left speechless as her mind raced trying to figure out how she could possibly know.

"Sachiko-sama, I love you." Yumi admitted as she put her head down, tears falling to the ground. "I thought at first I just loved you like every other fan girl, but once I became your Petite Soeur I knew it was different. I think that is why you want to do this, because you found out about my secret." Yumi explained, Sachiko at first was in shock listening to the younger girl but quickly became confused as Yumi finished.

Yumi looked up at Sachiko and swallowed the pain in her throat a tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm, sorry Sachiko-sama, but I will respect your decision." Yumi said as she slowly lifted her hand exposing the rosary to Sachiko.

Sachiko's eye's went wide as she looked down at the rosary, this couldn't be happening. She was in complete shock as she stared at Yumi, had it really come to this, had her odd behavior and secret really driven Yumi away? Sachiko was about to speak, she knew she had to say something now, Yumi was about to do something Sachiko couldn't even possibly think of wanting. She wasn't fast enough though as Yumi's voice filled the small greenhouse once again.

"I understand.." Yumi said as a loud sob escaped her, she though Sachiko had not wanted to touch the rosary after it had been tainted by her own touch, it had been proven the day before that Sachiko did not like her touch. Yumi couldn't stand here anymore, she knew it was over and being here with Sachiko and the rosary was to painful. Yumi dropped the rosary to the ground as she put her head down sobbing loudly.

Sachiko reached a hand out to Yumi but it was to late, the younger girl had already turned and started to run out of the greenhouse. Sachiko's mind raced, she was losing Yumi, this wasn't supposed to happen, she was supposed to tell Yumi how she felt not lose her forever. Sachiko shook her head as her feet started to move without even thinking about it, before she knew it, she was running after Yumi.

Yumi hadn't gotten far, thankfully she had stopped in front of the statue of Maria-sama as she cried with her head down, the sound of her own misery blocking out the sound of Sachiko approaching her.

"Yumi!" Sachiko yelled as Yumi turned to her in surprise, she didn't have much time to think though before Sachiko had grabbed a hold of her wrist to ensure the younger girl couldn't run again. "Yumi.." Sachiko said trying hard to catch her breath. "I don't hate you, Yumi. I could never hate you, the reason I acted to weird is because I was afraid... I was afraid to tell you how I felt." Sachiko explained as she looked into Yumi's stunned eyes, which for a reason unknown to her seemed to get rid of all her nerves. Sachiko had never felt more confident in her whole life staring into Yumi's eyes, if there was anything she was sure of it was her next statement. "Yumi, I love you and I want to be with you." Sachiko finally said as Yumi's eyes went wide and even wider when her lips were met by Sachiko's for the first loving, passionate kiss the two would share.

After a long kiss Sachiko pulled away from Yumi and opened her eyes slowly only to see Yumi's still closed., it had been just like she dreamed, amazing.

Yumi's eyes opened a moment later as she looked into Sachiko's. "Sachiko-sama..." Yumi said quietly, she had been in total shock yet she felt so calm, had she really just kissed Sachiko, had her own feelings been returned?

Sachiko took a deep breath and gave Yumi a hug. "Yumi, I love you." Sachiko said again as she felt Yumi's arms wrap around her.

"I love you to, Sachiko-sama." Yumi replied with a smile on her face, the worry and pain she had been put through the last few days had all made sense now, she had worried over nothing.

"Please, Yumi, just call me Sachiko when we are together." Sachiko said as she pulled away from Yumi's hug exposing the loving smile on her face. "Now let's go get your rosary."

Yumi just smiled and nodded as she followed Sachiko back towards the greenhouse where she had thought her world would surely come to end only a few minutes ago.

Tsutako

"So Yumi and Sachiko are in love... I really didn't expect that to be the problem between the two." Tsutako said to herself looking at the picture she had just taken of Yumi and Sachiko sharing a warm kiss in front of the statue of Maria-sama. "Oh well, at least I got the picture."

A/N: Well that was chapter 4, I am quite proud of this one myself. I hope everyone enjoyed it, I know what my favorite scene was :). I honestly could have done it a bunch of different ways and that is the best part! I can always do more FF later on about those different ways! :D Anyways I liked that way the best for this story though it was the first time I've done a scene a like that, where it was two characters with completely different ideas of what was happening.

Anyways this story is not over! I just realized talking about doing it different ways and mentioning other FF made this sound like the end, I just hope Tsutako's part there made it more obvious, this story still has a bit to go :). I really really wanted to show how Sachiko and yumi get together though and it works with what I plan on doing. Anyways I hope you enjoy this one because it was my favorite chapter I've done for any story thus far! (except for chapter 12 from no turning back now... Alright I lied I enjoy doing them all about the same but a certain scene in this one was just as fun a certain scene from chapter 12 from no turning back now. The people who read that story may know which I'm talking about... because 'I do' ;)... I'm so lame haha
