A/N: So here is chapter 10, I hope you enjoy it and will explain my thoughts a little on this chapter at the end like always.
Sachiko and Yumi
It had been a long night for both girls as they laid in bed their minds wandering and nerves coursing through their bodies. Yumi had been awake mostly from her thoughts about Sachiko, she couldn't act on any of them though. Sachiko would be shocked to know what she had been thinking about, Yumi was sure of that.
Sachiko had been tossing and turning, something the usually calm, cool, and collected girl rarely did. She too was thinking about Yumi and what she could so easily do to her right now, but like Yumi, Sachiko knew she couldn't. Sachiko let out a yawn as she found herself again looking at the ceiling in the dark room that was only illuminated by the dim moonlight pouring in through a tall window near the bed. She couldn't help but wonder if Yumi was awake right now or if the younger girl had already fallen asleep, she had seemed just as nervous as Sachiko to share the same bed. Sachiko sighed trying to calm her restless mind as she felt Yumi's hand grab her own under the covers causing her to immediately turn her head towards Yumi, she couldn't really see anything except the faint outline of the younger girl's body.
"Are you alright?" Yumi asked softly and quietly when Sachiko turned her head, she like Sachiko couldn't see very well, but she could make out Sachiko's form and saw her head turn.
"Y-yes, Yumi, I'm fine. Why are you still awake?" Sachiko asked as the bed went silent for a moment.
"It's just odd, sleeping in the same bed as my girlfriend." Yumi finally admitted, she would never tell Sachiko the full truth, that aside from that she was having impure thoughts about Sachiko and they were driving her mad.
"I agree, but I find it thrilling at the same time." Sachiko replied feeling her hand squeezed tighter, that was all she needed to know that Yumi agreed with her. Both girls laid in silence a bit more Sachiko smiling at Yumi as she took comfort in the fact that Yumi was just like her, nervous and excited.
"We should try and get some sleep, it's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow." Yumi said with a yawn.
"You're right, Yumi. I'll see you in the morning." Sachiko replied as she closed her eyes and smiled, she was still holding Yumi's hand and there had been no sign that either of them planned on letting go.

Yumi
Yumi smiled as her mind became active and the first thing it noticed was a wonderful scent, it was something that Yumi had fallen in love with. Yumi took in a deep breath noticing the next thing she was experiencing was a comforting warmth, she loved this feeling and her body must have too, because it's only reaction was to snuggle closer to the source of this warmth.
Yumi's eye's popped open when she felt that source of warmth move a little which had fully awakened Yumi. The source of this warmth was Sachiko and Yumi found herself cuddled up against her back with an arm wrapped around the older girls stomach. Yumi laid frozen for a moment as she tried to figure out what to do, Sachiko had the arm on her stomach pinned with her own and Yumi was sure if she tried to free it Sachiko would surely wake up. In fact if Yumi tried to scoot away from Sachiko at all she might wake up, after all her body was snuggled close to Sachiko's.
Yumi remained silent, she didn't dare say or do anything, she was afraid to wake Sachiko up while like this, but at the same time she wondered for how long Sachiko would remain asleep. Yumi had thought about many different ways to get out and finally decided the best option would to just go back to sleep and wait for Sachiko to wake up.

Sachiko, Yumi, Youko
"I'll go get her, just wait out here." Youko said as she parked the car outside Sachiko's house. They were taking two vehicles one driven by Sei and the other driven by Youko and had gone around to pick up all the girls, Sachiko and Yumi's house were the last stops.
Youko approached the house and rang the doorbell, she was actually quite surprised that Sachiko hadn't already come out and greeted her, usually Sachiko was prepared for things like this. Youko was greeted by Sayako as the door opened and she stepped into the house.
"Sachiko is still sleeping I think. You should go wake her up, she probably just stayed up too late with Yumi." Sayako said with a smile.
Youko bowed her head before making her way past Sayako and down the hall towards Sachiko's room, she had been to this house many times and knew exactly where Sachiko's room was. Today though, she was surprised to find Yumi sleeping with her faze nuzzled on the back of Sachiko's neck. Youko couldn't help but smile to herself as she made her way over to the side of Sachiko's bed. "Sachiko, it's time to wake up." Youko said as she reached a hand out and slightly nudged Sachiko's shoulder.
Sachiko's eyes slowly opened as Youko came into view. "O-onee-sama!" Sachiko exclaimed as she felt Yumi's grip on her tighten a little, the sound must have stirred Yumi a little.
"I see the movie went well." Youko teased with a grin.
"T-this is not what it looks like! Nothing happened, I swear." Sachiko tried to defend, but it wouldn't work, especially because when she sat up Yumi's grip on the older girl had become known to Youko.
Youko smiled, she could see that Sachiko was obviously embarrassed about this by the redness in her cheeks. Youko liked the look though, she had never really seen Sachiko like this before, it was a nice break from her always serious look and act. "I never said what it did or did not look like, besides it's none of my business what you do with your girlfriend."
Sachiko sighed, she knew no matter what she said at this moment that Youko wouldn't believe her or she would just tease her more. Sachiko turned to Yumi and shook the girl by her shoulder a little. "Yumi, it's time to get up." Sachiko said softly as the younger girls eyes slowly opened, her arm pulling away almost instantly when she could from Sachiko as her cheeks turned a little pink.
"S-sorry, I must have done that while sleeping." Yumi apologized as her eyes went from Sachiko to Youko who was standing a few feet away from them with a grin. Yumi's eyes went wide at the sight of her girlfriend's Onee-sama, she was about to say something but her thought was interrupted by Sachiko.
Sachiko smiled at Yumi, the face the younger girl was making would always bring a smile to Sachiko's own face. "Yumi, you don't have to apologize. You had no control over it and..." Sachiko swallowed as she glanced back at Youko who seemed to be awaiting her reply more than Yumi. Sachiko blushed when she turned back to Yumi, lowering her head so only she could hear. "You are my girlfriend so it's alright." Sachiko whispered before lifting her head, it was the first time she had said something like that with someone else present. Even if she did whisper so Youko couldn't hear it still made her feel a little embarrassed.
"You don't have to be embarrassed around me, I already know that you two are together." Youko commented when she noticed both girls red in the cheeks from whatever Sachiko had said. "You two should get up though, everyone is waiting for us outside."
Yumi's eyes went wide as she looked up at Youko. "Everyone is here, waiting? What are we going to tell them when we come out together?" Yumi asked, she hadn't even thought about the fact that only Youko and Rei knew anything.
"Just tell them you slept over, it's not like you have anything to hide, right Yumi-chan?" Youko asked with a grin when she noticed Yumi put her head down. Yumi and Sachiko really hadn't done anything, but that didn't stop her from feeling embarrassed about the situation.
"I told you Onee-sama, nothing happened, now will you please leave Yumi alone." Sachiko said before Yumi could reply.
Youko put her hands up in surrender. "Alright, you win. I will leave you two alone, but get ready I'm sure the others are getting impatient, especially Sei." Youko said as she walked towards the door to the hallway. "I will leave now and let you two get ready, but do hurry."

Sachiko, Yumi, and Youko
Sachiko and Yumi had emerged from the house several minutes later with their things and thankfully found out they were riding with Youko and were safe from the girls questions for the first part of their trip. The rest of the girls were riding with Sei while most of their things had been put into the car Youko was driving.
Sachiko and Yumi talked with Youko about various things including their plans which she found out were almost non-existant at this point. The car ride was pleasant which surprised Sachiko, because lately her Onee-sama had seemed to like teasing her and Yumi. She couldn't help but wonder though what Rei was thinking when she came out of her house with Yumi by her side.
They had been riding in the car for about an hour and still had around another hour to go before they arrived at the hotel. Yumi had been fighting sleep for about ten minutes now as the conversation in the car died down, she was still tired from the night before. Eventually though, Sachiko found the younger with her head hanging asleep. Sachiko smiled as she gently guided Yumi's head to her shoulder, it wouldn't be the most comfortable pillow, but she knew that having her head hang would hurt her neck.
Youko had been watching her Petite Soeur in the rear view mirror the whole time and couldn't help but smile. "You really are starting to change you know that Sachiko?" Youko asked as Sachiko turned her head towards the front of the car meeting her Onee-sama's eyes in the rear view mirror. "It seems Yumi-Chan is having a big effect on your life, you seem to be changing slowly."
Sachiko glanced down at Yumi for a second before looking back at the mirror, it was true, she had noticed it also. It was something that she was not ashamed of, in fact it was the opposite, she embraced this change. It felt good to be with Yumi and not only that, she always found herself happy when in Yumi's presence. "It's hard not to change when I can call Yumi my girlfriend." Sachiko admitted shyly. It still wasn't easy for her to say things like this to her Onee-sama, but she knew eventually she would get over it.

Sachiko, Yumi, and everyone else.
"Sachiko, Yumi we are here, wake up." Youko said as she shut the car off. Sachiko's eyes opened as she lifted her head from Yumi's, she had fallen asleep shortly after her and Youko's conversation earlier and ended up resting her head against Yumi's.
Yumi opened her eyes and lifted her head from Sachiko's shoulder, she hadn't even realized she fell asleep. "We are here?" Yumi asked still trying to collect her thoughts as the car door near her opened revealing Touko.
"You two aren't going to sleep the whole trip are you?" Touko joked as she reached a hand out for Yumi to grab. "Here let me help you out."
Sachiko looked at the hand and turned her head, she wasn't sure why but it upset her a little. She couldn't and wouldn't say anything about the innocent gesture though, instead she just got out of the car and made her way around to Yumi's side. "We should grab our stuff and bring it to the room." Sachiko said, without even realizing it she was giving Touko a somewhat cold look.
"You're right, the faster we get unpacked the more time we have to do stuff." Yumi said with a smile which quickly caused Sachiko's cold look to fade as it was replaced with a softer one. Yumi handed Sachiko her bag before grabbing her own and turning to follow the older girl towards Youko, who was returning with their room keys.
"What was that all about?" Touko asked herself as she watched Sachiko and Yumi disappear into the hotel.
"What's wrong Touko-chan?" Sei asked as she approached the car to grab her own luggage.
"Sachiko-sama just gave me a dirty look, that's all." Touko replied still curious as to what she had done.
"I wouldn't worry about it, she is probably upset over something stupid and besides she is with Yumi now, she will probably be back to normal in no time." Sei said with a smile.
Touko sighed looking at Sei. "You make it sound like they are a couple."
"I'm surprised they aren't with how they act." Sei replied as Youko held out two bags to her. "What am I supposed to do with these?"
"Carry them up to the room, I have to give out all the room keys and lock the cars." Youko explained with a smile.
"But my wrist is sore from last night." Sei pouted as she glanced up to Youko who fought hard not to blush and instead put on a fake smile.
Youko knew what Sei was referring to and also knew that if she tried to argue, Sei would only make the situation worse. "Fine, I will just put them on the car then for now." Youko said after a moment's pause as she turned to Touko and handed her a room key. "Here, you will be sharing a room with Yoshino and Rei."
"I still don't get why I can't be in the same room as Onee-sama and Sachiko-sama." Touko said as she took the key.
"I already told you Touko-Chan, Sachiko only wants one other person in her room." Youko explained looking away from Touko, it was a lie and she really didn't have any other excuse as to why Sachiko and Yumi were sharing a room. She couldn't just tell Touko they were a couple and wanted that she wanted them to enjoy the vacation together.
Touko sighed and shook her head before going over to Yoshino and Rei as they began to walk into the hotel together.
"I swear that girl can be a little obsessive over Sachiko and Yumi sometimes." Youko said before turning and going to Noriko and Shimako with a key.

Sachiko and Yumi
Sachiko held open the door for Yumi before entering the room herself, Yumi stood in awe, she had never been in a hotel room like this before. It had a reasonably sized living room that held a large television on the wall and a very modern looking sofa. The other side of the room was a wall of windows which granted a very nice view of the surrounding area when the curtains weren't closed. The last thing Yumi noticed was a set of double doors that led into a large bedroom that had its own bathroom connected to it. The biggest thing Yumi noticed on her tour of the room however, was the fact that there was only one bed.
"Well, at least it isn't our first time right?" Yumi asked as the two stared at the bed, the thought of the restless night they had just endured fresh in their minds.
Sachiko looked at Yumi and just simply nodded, she was upset with Youko, no doubt she had known about this when she got the room and did it on purpose. At the same time though, she couldn't be too upset, after all she was now sharing a bed with Yumi which like the night before was exciting and nerve racking all at once.
Yumi put the fact aside and went over to the bed and set her bag down before turning to Sachiko and smiling. "I'm still a bit shy about it too, but we made it through last night and it should only be easier tonight, right?" Yumi said cheerfully, she was surprised how well she hid her nerves, even Sachiko hadn't noticed.
"You're right Yumi, besides I wanted to spend as much time with you as possible and..." Sachiko paused as she turned away from Yumi blushing. "I guess this will just be another way to be with you."
Yumi smiled before embracing Sachiko from behind, which had caused Sachiko to jump a little in surprise. "I feel the same way..." Yumi admitted with her head resting on Sachiko's back as the older girl took a deep breath and smiled, it felt good to have Yumi with her even if she was the source of Sachiko's nerves lately.
"Yumi, do you want to do anything before we go out to eat?" Sachiko asked softly, which was news to Yumi.
"We are going out to eat? Is it just the two of us?" Yumi asked with a little excitement in her voice.
"No, we are going out to eat with everyone, Onee-sama told me about it while you were sleeping in the car." Sachiko explained as she felt Yumi lift her head from her back.
"Well, I should probably take a shower and stuff then, why don't we just stay here for a bit?" Yumi asked.
"I'm alright with that, I need to take a shower too, but I will let you go first." Sachiko said as Yumi let go of her.

Sachiko, Yumi, and the others
"So how is your room Sachiko and Yumi?" Youko asked as she gave Sachiko a teasing smile, she had been asking everyone what they thought of their rooms, mainly because it gave her an excuse to ask Sachiko and Yumi. Sachiko had been right in the fact that Youko had fully known about the one bed her and Yumi's hotel room had.
"It's great!" Yumi said with a smile after putting her fork down. A few hours had passed since they arrived and they had all met up to go out to eat like planned.
"Well, I'm glad you like it Yumi-Chan, I just hope Sachiko will enjoy it as much as you." Youko said still smiling at Sachiko, it was a secret between the three of them and she couldn't help but poke at them. To the others at the table this went unnoticed, Youko wasn't usually the type to tease, but after spending so much time with Sei she had begun to change a little. The other thing that kept her teasing hidden was the fact that the rest of the girls had no idea there was something to tease about.
"I do like it, actually. I just had something on my mind." Sachiko explained as she took another bite of her food.
"What could be on your mind when we are on vacation?" Sei asked as the rest of the girls quieted down and turned their attention towards Sachiko, perhaps she was going to tell them what was on her mind that week?
Sachiko glanced around the table before looking back to Sei. "It's nothing to worry about." She replied before glancing at Yumi.
"So it's about Yumi-Chan, that's a start..." Sei said with a smile when she noticed Sachiko look at Yumi.
"It's not about Yumi, it's about...what we are going to do this week." Sachiko said hoping nobody would notice her hesitation, honestly her mind had been on the bed more so than the week they were going to spend together.
Touko shook her head with a sigh, she couldn't believe Sachiko would give her a dirty look over something so stupid, then again Sachiko worrying about something like that did seem odd. Touko decided to ignore it for now.
"I am going to go to the restroom, I'll be right back." Yumi said as she looked up at Sachiko.
Sachiko just smiled and nodded as the younger girl stood from the table hitting her knee on edge of it, the loud thud combined with the sound of a utensil hitting the floor immediately caught all the girls attention.
"Yumi are you alright?" Sachiko asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine." Yumi said as she bent over to grab the fork.
Sachiko's eyes went wide as a what felt like a jolt of electricity shot through her body, she could only take a deep breath and feel her heart beat a little fast as a thought entered her mind from the sight before her, she hadn't even realized she was staring until Yumi had turned around. Sachiko quickly turned her head from Yumi and kept her gaze down at the table as her face went beet red, she had never looked at Yumi like that before and even though it was accidental it brought a surge of strange feelings and thoughts to her body.
"Sorry, I'll be right back." Yumi said turning away from the table.
"Sachiko are you alright?" Yoshino asked instantly noticing Sachiko's odd reaction, which she didn't quite understand.
Touko glanced around the table to see if anyone else had seemed to pick up on the fact that Sachiko was just staring at Yumi's... Touko shook her head, Sachiko in her mind would never do a thing like that, but it had just happened right in front her. She couldn't believe it, she thought for sure a look like that was only between lovers. Touko lifted her head a little as the thought crossed her mind about Sachiko possibly loving Yumi, it would somewhat explain why Yumi was so happy but unable to tell anyone what happened. I guess I will just have to keep an eye on her for now.. Touko thought as she watched Sachiko regain her composure.

Tsutako and Minako
"Any news yet on the photo? I still have time to change it if it's that front page worthy." Minako said never taking her eyes from the paper she was working on.
"Well, unfortunately it will have to wait for now, it seems the Yamayurikai has gone on a trip, at least that is what Yoshino told me on Friday during lunch." Tsutako said with a sigh. "We will just have to wait for them to come back, besides it's not like I plan on deleting the picture until I get an answer from them."
Minako looked up at Tsutako. "You mean the picture is on that camera?" She asked curiously looking at the camera.
"Well, yea, it's one of the schools new digital cameras. The only thing I don't like about it is that I have to leave it here and I can't take it home." Tsutako admitted. "Other than that I really like it, it's fast and easy."
Minako stared at the camera for a minute more before turning back to her work, like nothing had happened. "I thought you left all your camera's here."
"Well, I do, but if I want to I can take them home. This one is the exception though, because it's new. It always has to be put back in the photography room at the end of the day.. Speaking of which I am going to go do that now, don't spend too much time here over your break, it is supposed to be our time off after all."
Minako raised her head and smiled at Tsutako. "Don't worry, I won't, I just have a little more to finish up here."
A/N: Alright, so not the most exciting chapter in my eyes, not to mention I was dead tired when I wrote the first half of it. Anyways, Touko seems to be catching on :) (People have been asking me about her). Sachiko and Yumi are embarrassed and Sachiko experienced something new today. Overall not the most exciting chapter, like I said, but I think it will do good to somewhat setup an idea for the vacation.
I honestly don't have much to say here except sorry for not being able to update as fast, I've had a really busy weekend and haven't been able to get much sleep at all, so I've been fighting that while doing these.
