A/N: Alright I hope you are ready for Sachiko and Yumi because this chapter heavily focuses on them :). As always I hope you enjoy!
Oh, right one last thing this chapter has one new addition to it. In the 3rd scene there is a -X- I used that to indicate the start and end of a flashback, which the whole flashback is in italics.
Sachiko and Yumi
Sachiko could feel her heart pounding as she approached the statue of Maria-sama taking a deep breath, this was where she had had her first kiss with Yumi and also where she planned to meet her this morning. Sachiko had arrived at the statue quite early, she had been a little restless through the night. When she did sleep she dreamed of Yumi and when she couldn't sleep she thought of Yumi, needless to say her night was consumed by the younger girl once again.
"Gokigenyou, Sachiko" A voice called out from behind Sachiko as she turned to see the girl that had been on her mind all night.
"You're early, Yumi." Sachiko said with a slight blush at Yumi's big smile.
"Well, you got here earlier than me and I.." Yumi paused turning her head away from Sachiko feeling a bit embarrassed. "I wanted to spend time with you so I came early." She said a little quietly as the warmth from Sachiko's sudden embrace filled her body.
"I wanted to see you to. I thought about you all night, Yumi." Sachiko admitted with a big blush on her face, looking down at Yumi.
Yumi looked up to Sachiko for a moment, the blush on her face still apparent. "Sachiko, will you tell me again?" Yumi asked a little hesitantly, she was almost afraid to ask for fear that it really all had been a dream.
"Tell you what?" Sachiko asked a little confused as Yumi's eye's averted Sachiko's, the blush on Yumi's face intensifying. That was all Sachiko needed to see to know what Yumi was asking from her, but instead of answering her with words she did it with her lips.
Yumi's eyes went wide for a second as they darted back to the closed ones in front of her, the kiss had caught her off guard but now that the initial shock was over she started to feel weak at the knees. Yumi's eyes slowly closed after another moment as she started to become lost in Sachiko's lips.
Sachiko opened her eyes after another minute and could only smile at Yumi noticing her eyes closed enjoying the kiss. Sachiko broke the kiss a moment later and leaned her forehead against Yumi's their eyes meeting when Yumi finally opened her own eyes. "I love you, Yumi." Sachiko breathed before Yumi responded by giving Sachiko another very brief kiss.
"I love you to." Yumi said with a smile before realizing where they were and taking a step away from Sachiko. "Perhaps we should find somewhere more private to continue this?" Yumi suggested with a smile, as Sachiko blushed furiously. Yumi raised an eyebrow at Sachiko's reaction before her eyes went wide. "I didn't mean that!" Yumi exclaimed as her face turned red in embarrassment.
Sachiko smiled and took Yumi's hand. "Then let's go to the greenhouse, we still have about twenty minutes before school starts and we can talk privately there." Sachiko said as she started to walk with Yumi.

Touko, Shimako, Noriko
"Sachiko-sama better not have hurt Onee-sama or she will never hear the end of it!" Touko exclaimed as she walked with Shimako and Noriko. She hadn't gotten much sleep and was a little on edge, she still had no idea what had taken place at the greenhouse.
"I'm sure everything is fine Touko-chan, Sachiko-sama probably just told her what was wrong." Shimako reassured Touko with a smile.
Touko looked at Noriko and Shimako shaking her head a little. "I don't know how you two can be so calm, especially knowing that Sachiko-sama and Onee-sama were both crying. It has to be serious whatever it is." Touko argued.
"You may be right, Touko-chan, but I think this is still just a big misunderstanding." Shimako replied, she knew something was the matter if Sachiko had been brought to tears but she still couldn't imagine Sachiko doing anything to hurt Yumi.
Touko was about to say something but Noriko spoke up first. "Let's just wait and see how they are today before we start coming to conclusions?" Noriko said trying to calm Touko down a little bit, after all she seemed to be deeply agitated by this.
"Fine." Touko said a little regretfully, she still had a lot to say, but she really didn't know what had happened between the two the day before and she could be making a big deal out of nothing. "Onee-sama better be alright though."

Sachiko, Rei, (Yumi)
Sachiko isn't here yet... I wonder if everything went alright yesterday? Rei thought to herself as the person in question finally made her way into the classroom a slight blush across her cheeks. Was she blushing? Rei thought keeping her eyes on Sachiko as she took her seat at her desk and looked out the window. Back to day dreaming already, I see... Rei was partially right this time, Sachiko was daydreaming a bit, but mainly looking out the window was to hide the blush caused by Yumi, the memory playing in her head.

Sachiko took a seat around the raised garden in the greenhouse before motioning Yumi to sit with her, which Yumi happily agreed to. The girls sat in silence for a moment before Sachiko finally broke it. "Yumi, did I tell you I dreamed about you?"
Yumi looked up at Sachiko a little surprised by the odd question. "No, you didn't." Yumi replied with a smile, it made her happy to know Sachiko thought of her.
"In my dreams I kissed you, Yumi." Sachiko said putting her head down a little embarrassed. "That is why I was having such a hard time facing you. Every time I saw you my dreams would come back to me and I would want to kiss you, but I knew I couldn't." Sachiko admitted as Yumi grabbed her hand.
Yumi blushed as she looked away from Sachiko momentarily. "I wouldn't have minded." Yumi said shyly as Sachiko gave her hand a squeeze.
"Yumi, I love you, I can't tell you how happy I am to know you feel the same." Sachiko said with a smile as Yumi turned to her smiling herself.
"I'm happy also, yesterday I though that you wanted my rosary back and figured I would tell you how I felt as a farewell and to get it out, because it has been eating away at me for awhile. Then when you grabbed me yesterday I couldn't believe the words that came out of your mouth, if you wouldn't have given me that kiss I would have probably questioned the truth in your words, even now it feels like a dream." Yumi explained before looking at Sachiko.
"I'm glad I kissed you then." Sachiko said smiling at Yumi. "I really did hurt you Yumi and I'm sorry, I never got to properly apologize yesterday, will you forgive me?"
Yumi put a finger to her chin and looked up like she was deep in thought for a moment. "Well, I suppose I can but first you have to do something." Yumi said.
"Anything." Sachiko responded quickly, she really had felt terrible about hurting Yumi and wanted it all to go away.
Yumi blushed a bit as she lowered her head. "I just want you to answer a question." Yumi said glancing over at Sachiko who remained silent but nodded her head. "Would you be mad if I considered you my...girlfriend...?" Yumi said shyly as Sachiko's face lit up with surprise, the blush returning to her face.
Sachiko put a hand on Yumi's shoulder to get the younger girl's attention. "Yumi, how could I be mad when that is the next tough question I wanted to ask you." Sachiko replied also a little shyly.
Yumi poked her head up at Sachiko. "Does that mean...?" Yumi trailed off as Sachiko nodded her head smiling.
"Yes, Yumi, I would love to be your girlfriend." Sachiko said her heart swelling with joy and another odd yet familiar sensation, she could only describe it as love.
Yumi smiled brightly as she stood from the garden and put a hand out to Sachiko, which she grabbed happily as Yumi pulled her to a standing position. "Shall we have one quick kiss then as girlfriends?" Yumi asked a little mischievously as Sachiko smiled and touched her lips against Yumi's, jumping when she felt Yumi's hand brush against her back side.
"Yumi!" Sachiko exclaimed in surprise, she wasn't mad, she just had not expected the younger girl to be so bold.
Yumi blushed as she put her head down a little. "Sorry, I..."
Yumi was interrupted by Sachiko placing a finger on Yumi's lips. "Don't be sorry, Yumi." Sachiko blushed furiously. "I was just a little surprised...I didn't say I didn't like it, you are my girlfriend after all." Sachiko admitted a bit shyly towards the end. "We should probably get going though, classes should be starting soon." Sachiko said trying to change the subject, she was embarrassed to admit she had liked the inappropriate touch.

"Sachiko, tell me what happened." Rei said taking a seat in front of the raven haired girl, who was lost in thought. "Sachiko?" Rei asked again this time catching Sachiko's attention.
"Sorry, I didn't see you sit down." Sachiko said causing Rei to chuckle a little.
"Thinking about a certain brunette?" Rei asked, Sachiko blushing in response to her question. "I'll take that as a yes." Rei said giving a knowing smile. "So how did things go yesterday?" Rei asked a little excitedly.
"I told her I liked her." Sachiko responded calmly as if it was no big deal.
Rei raised an eyebrow in confusion. "That was it? You told her you liked her...? Sachiko, that is probably the worst confession I've ever heard of, Yumi probably still has no idea what you really feel." Rei said, she couldn't believe that was all Sachiko had told Yumi.
Sachiko smiled a little at the memory of yesterday and this morning. "Don't worry Rei, I think she understood." Sachiko said happily.
Rei squinted her eyes at Sachiko, she had known her long enough to read her reactions, which most people struggled with. "Alright, Sachiko tell me what happened."
"I told you already, I told Yumi I liked her." Sachiko said trying to fight back the obvious blush from what had happened this morning between the two.
Rei sighed, she was going to have to do a cheap trick to get Sachiko to talk. "Alright, if you aren't going to tell me then I guess I will just have to get Sei to question Yumi. She is usually pretty good at getting answers." Rei said with a sly grin.
Sachiko glared at Rei for moment, she knew Rei was right, Sei was definitely good at getting answers and if she found out about Sachiko and Yumi... Sachiko could only shiver at the thought of the tormenting she would receive from the older girl.
"Alright, I guess Sei will be paying a visit to Yumi soon." Rei said shrugging after a long silence form Sachiko.
"I told her I loved her." Sachiko said causing Rei to smile, Rei's cheap trick had worked.
"Well, that is a good start, what did Yumi say?" Rei asked curiously, Sachiko remained silent for a moment thinking about Yumi's confession to her.
"Well, what did Yumi say?" Rei asked again a little impatiently this time.
"She said she loved me, also." Sachiko admitted after another moment of silence.
"R—really? She is in love with you to?" Rei asked in complete shock, she knew Yumi liked Sachiko, but she never imagined the girl loving Sachiko. "Does, that mean you two are..." Rei trailed off realizing that it may be to soon to jump to such conclusions.
"Yes, we are in love." Sachiko said feeling a bit embarrassed, she was not used to talking about this type of stuff, especially when it involved herself.
Rei scratched the back of her head with a sigh. "That's not exactly what I was going to ask, but it can wait for now... I'm glad for you." Rei said with a smile.
"You won't tell anyone right? The only person that knows right now besides you is my Onee-sama." Sachiko said looking at Rei seriously.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone, but you may want to try and get rid of that big smile you've been wearing all day, it gives a lot away." Rei responded smiling at Sachiko. "I'll see you at the meeting, later today, class is about to start again."
Sachiko could only turn her head away and look out the window, she had no idea she'd been smiling all day, had Yumi really made her happy enough to smile all day long? Sachiko let out a quiet sigh, she knew getting rid of this smile wouldn't be easy, after all the thought of calling Yumi her girlfriend would not leave her mind.
-X-X-
Yoshino, Yumi, Touko
"Tell us what happened, Yumi-san." Yoshino demanded as the girls sat down for lunch, she had noticed that Yumi had been spacing off during class and not paying any attention.
"Nothing, happened, I was wrong about Onee-sama wanting her rosary back, which I am extremely happy about." Yumi said smiling which Touko and Yoshino could see right through.
"Then what did happen, Onee-sama? What did Sachiko-sama want to tell you?" Touko asked.
Yumi scratched the back of her head trying to think of what to say. "She uh, just wanted to tell me she was sorry about her behavior." Yumi replied, after all it was half of the truth, though admittedly yesterday there wasn't much apologizing.
"She told you what has been bothering her then?" Yoshino asked looking at Yumi.
"Uh, well... Not exactly, she just uhm... She said she was having a tough time in class and was getting a little frustrated was all." Yumi said as Touko sighed.
"If you don't want to tell us that is fine. I'm just glad that she apologized to you." Touko said.
"Me to." Yumi said, though her thoughts were more about the kiss she received from going to where Sachiko 'apologized' to her. "I have to get going though, I don't want to be late for class." Yumi said jumping from the bench they were sitting on and leaving, she didn't want the other two to notice her blush.
"Something is definitely going on." Yoshino said watching Yumi walk away.
"Yea, I just wonder what. Onee-sama seems really happy where as yesterday she was a complete mess... I want to know what Sachiko-sama told her." Touko admitted. "I guess we will just have to wait for now, at least Onee-sama is happy, though I haven't seen Sachiko-sama today."

Sachiko, Yumi, and the Yamayurikai
Sachiko stood from her desk as the school bell rang signifying the end of the day, she wanted to see Yumi before the meeting and quickly made her way out of the classroom. Rei was going to ask if she wanted to walk to the Rose Mansion together, but when she saw Sachiko's determined look she decided not to, besides Sachiko was almost out the door when she noticed her.
Sachiko quickly made her way down the hall and towards the stairs making her way up to Yumi's classroom. Her heart was beginning to race a little as she neared Yumi's classroom, she knew that she would see her in just a few minutes at the Rose Mansion, but Sachiko couldn't get the idea of walking to the Rose Mansion with her girlfriend out of her head. It may have seemed silly to anyone else who knew, which no one did, but Sachiko wanted to show Yumi how much she loved her every chance she could.
Sachiko paused in her tracks when she saw Yumi step out of her classroom with a big smile on her face, Sachiko swallowed whatever it was she was feeling, because this wasn't the time or place to day dream about Yumi.
"Onee-sama!" Yumi said excitedly as she ran over and gave Sachiko a hug, which to others looked like an innocent act between two very close sisters, but for Yumi and Sachiko it was something much different.
"Gokigenyou, Sachiko-sama." Yoshino said as she approached the two girls, she had a somewhat serious, almost piercing look in her eyes. Sachiko couldn't understand the look in Yoshino's eyes, Yumi was happy, she had thought it was obvious from the hug she just received, but still Sachiko got an almost guilty feeling from Yoshino, which she ignored for now.
"Gokigenyou, Yoshino-chan." Sachiko replied as she took Yumi's hand in her own. "Let's go to the Rose Mansion together." Sachiko said smiling at Yumi and Yoshino as they started walking.
Yoshino couldn't help but notice Sachiko and Yumi's interlaced fingers, it wasn't uncommon for them to hold hands, but it did seem a little weird that they would go from being in tears one day to holding hands and smiling the next.
"Sachiko-sama, have you talked with Touko-chan yet?" Yoshino asked out of curiosity, she was Sachiko's cousin and Yumi's Petite Soeur, Yoshino couldn't help but think she knew something.
"Not recently, why?" Sachiko asked looking over to Yoshino, who just simply shrugged.
"I was just curious that is all." Yoshino replied, perhaps Touko really didn't know anything.
Sachiko kept her eyes on Yoshino for a second wondering what Touko could have wanted, that thought was thrown out of her head though after a second when she felt Yumi squeeze her hand a little tighter getting her attention. "Yes, Yumi?" Sachiko asked looking over to her.
"I need to ask you something after the meeting, if you don't mind." Yumi said with a smile.
Sachiko glanced to Yoshino quick to see if she was paying attention and thankfully she wasn't. "Sure, that shouldn't be a problem." Sachiko said matching Yumi's smile, only broken by the sound of Rei.
"Glad to see you two made up." Rei said giving Sachiko a knowing smile after noticing their joined hands.
Yumi smiled at Rei unaware that she knew anything. "So am I, Onee-sama had me worried for awhile there, but it was just a misunderstanding thankfully." Yumi said.
"Well that is good, I thought Sachiko was going to go crazy, she felt so bad about making you cry, you know." Rei replied to Yumi before opening the door offering the others to go in.
When the door to the council room opened Sachiko immediately noticed Touko staring at her, a somewhat threatening look in her eyes. That look quickly changed to confusion when she noticed Sachiko let go of Yumi's hand. Was she just holding Onee-sama's hand...? Touko thought to herself as the four girls who just entered took their seats.
Noriko started getting tea for everyone as Shimako's voice filled the room. "Alright, we have a few things to go over today, especially because of the break coming up next week, first I want to talk about the newspaper interviews..." Shimako said as Sachiko looked over to Yumi, she wanted so desperately to see her smile even though she just had outside the Rose Mansion.
Soon, Sachiko's mind completely blocked out what Shimako was saying and that small desire she had for Yumi started to grow, spawning new thoughts in her mind, some that she wouldn't even want to admit to Yumi. Sachiko glanced around the table a little bit to see if anyone was watching her, because she eventually realized that she had completely ignored the conversation thus far and had no idea what they were talking about now.
Sachiko tried to get back into the conversation, knowing that eventually she would probably be asked something but as soon as she tried, she noticed Yumi looking at her with a slight smile. Sachiko looked at Yumi for a moment before the younger girl turned her back to Shimako, that was when an idea popped into Sachiko's mind.
Yumi jumped in fright letting out a loud gasp as Sachiko's leg rubbed against hers. "Yumi, are you alright?" Sachiko asked innocently as the rest of the girls looked at Yumi who had her eyes on Sachiko.
Yumi took a deep breath, "I'm fine, I just remembered something that's all."
"It must have been good if it caused a reaction like that." Sachiko commented with a little mischievous smile as Yumi blushed a little.
Shimako cleared her throat to get the attention of the girls again as she continued speaking, once everyone was looking at Shimako again Sachiko's leg started moving again. Yumi put her head down, her heart beating fast at Sachiko's touch, especially in a place like this where they could easily be caught.
Yumi did the only thing she could think of as she took both of her legs and squeezed Sachiko's invading leg. Yumi looked up at Sachiko with a victorious smile, though she had really just grabbed it because she was losing control and didn't want to accidentally say something outloud. Sachiko met Yumi's smile as she moved her other foot closer to Yumi's and touched the back of her leg with it, Yumi kicked her leg up in surprise, which caused a loud thud on the table. Sachiko immediately pulled her leg away from Yumi trying to act natural.
"What was that?" Yoshino asked leaning over and looking under the table.
Rei noticed the unease in Sachiko's eyes and figured she could help her friend out this one time. "Sorry, I think that was me, my knee itched, I hit my hand when I pulled it out from under the table." Rei said before smiling at Sachiko.
"Well, I hope you are alright, that was a loud thud." Sachiko said noticing Yumi nod her head slightly out of the corner of her eye. She thanked Rei in her mind and knew she should later in person when the time was appropriate.
"Yep, I'm fine, I just hope I can make it through the rest of the meeting without making another sound." Rei commented before looking back to Shimako. Both Sachiko and Yumi blushed a little stealing quick glances from one another. Sachiko and Yumi were having a hard time paying attention the rest of the meeting and it was becoming apparent to them both by how many times their eyes had met each others.
"Anyways, that concludes this meeting are there any questions?" Shimako asked looking around the table briefly as it remained silent. "Alright, then I will see you all tomorrow." Shimako said as all the girls except Sachiko and Yumi stood.
"Onee-sama?" Touko asked noticing Yumi not standing.
"Go ahead without us, Touko-chan, I have to talk with Onee-sama for a moment." Yumi explained to Touko as the girl gave Sachiko a dangerous look, she still had no idea exactly what was going on, for all she knew Yumi was hiding something now.
Yumi took a deep breath as the door shut behind the rest of the Yamayurikai, she was relieved it was now just her and Sachiko. "Why would you do that in a place like this? They could have caught us!" Yumi asked, she wasn't mad, she more amazed at Sachiko's move.
Sachiko smiled at Yumi. "Well your hand seems to have a mind of it own and so does my leg." Sachiko said referring to the brush on her backside she received that morning from Yumi.
Yumi couldn't help but blush at the memory before speaking. "Well, we are even now." Yumi said as Sachiko stood from her chair and went over to the window quick to see the rest of the Yamayurikai walking out of the building.
Yumi stood up and was going to walk to Sachiko, but she didn't have time to before Sachiko was walking right to her. "We aren't even yet, Yumi, I still have your touch on my mind." Sachiko said as she grabbed Yumi's hands and pressed her lips firmly against Yumi's causing her to fall back a little until she was leaning against the table. Sachiko's head was in a complete daze as her lips hungrily met Yumi's, she had been waiting for this ever since this morning and hadn't even realized how deep the kiss had become until she felt Yumi's tongue against her own. Sachiko wouldn't dare stop the kiss though, actually she quite enjoyed this new kiss they were sharing.
Shimako opened the door to the council room and immediately covered her mouth muffling the small gasp as her eyes went wide. She had forgotten a paper and decided to come back to grab it, unfortunately Sachiko had left the window to early to notice her turn around. Thankfully for Shimako, Yumi and Sachiko were to lost in each other to realize that someone had opened the door and closed it again.
"Did you get it Onee-sama?" Noriko asked patiently waiting for Shimako at the bottom of the stairs.
Shimako smiled at Noriko even after what she had just saw. "Yes, I got it. Let's get going." Shimako replied glancing back up at the council room window as she walked with Noriko down the path.
A/N: Well, there you go that is chapter 6. I hope you enjoyed it because I know I did. Sachiko and Yumi are becoming closer pretty fast which is actually intended. I imagine these two though have been secretly crazy about each other and now that they are together they are still going crazy about each other haha. There will probably be more chapters like this but the next one I know is about ... :D.
Anyways thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I will probably start on chapter 7 soon like in a few hours or when I wake up tomorrow. PM me or check my profile for an update!
