A/N: Alright sorry for the long wait on the update. I have been really busy. To give you an idea I woke up on Friday night at 5PM and I have had a total of 3.5 scattered hours of sleep. It is now Sunday morning at 8:13AM. I don't understand how I am still functional, but I won't be for long. I just had to post this thought because I felt terrible not being able to update anything for awhile. That being said my schedule is still a little busy, I'm going from overnight shift to a daytime shift and it's chaotic at this point!
I want to thank Claine24 and Maldytah for helping me keep going on this. You both helped with this chapter quite a bit and I want to thank you :) I'd also like to thank all the reviews I've been getting just for all of my stories, it's awesome and it really does help me to try and get these stories out faster for you! So once again thank you!
Sachiko stirred in her sleep as she heard her name called quietly. It wasn't until she felt her shoulder get nudged that she finally became full aware that someone was trying to wake her up. She smiled as she stretched her back a little. "No morning kiss?" Sachiko asked softly.
"Sachiko, wake up your not getting a kiss this morning!"
Sachiko immediately opened her eyes when she heard the voice again, this voice didn't belong to Yumi. "Onee-sama?" Sachiko asked a little confused before she remembered why Youko was waking her.
"You're lucky I didn't send Sei to wake you, she probably would have taken you up on the kiss." Youko sighed before taking out the extra key to the room that Sachiko had given her and placed it on the small table near the bed. "Now hurry up and get out of bed, you said you wanted to surprise Yumi before she wakes up."
Sachiko smiled once again as she crawled out of bed and bowed her head to Youko. "Thank you, Onee-sama for doing this."
Youko smiled before giving Sachiko a hug. "I would be a terrible Onee-sama if I couldn't help my Petite Soeur out with something like this now wouldn't I?"
Sachiko could only smile in response as Youko released her from the brief hug.
"I am going to get leave now so you can do whatever it is you have planned, I hope to hear that your date went well tomorrow." Youko said before turning for the door to back to her own room.
Sachiko glanced down to her still peacefully sleeping Yumi. She had to resist the urge to climb back in bed and cuddle close to Yumi, she loved watching Yumi sleep. Yumi always looked so innocent, her hair in mess and her lips parted as she took in slow but steady breaths. It was enough to bring a smile to Sachiko's face and she could only hope that she would be able to see this sleeping face for years to come.
Sachiko glanced up at the clock she had about an hour or so before Yumi would be awoken by the alarm clock. The reason it was set was because Youko had invited them to breakfast the night before as they were walking from the car to their hotel room. Sachiko had already given Youko her room key by this point though, she had no intentions of eating breakfast with the others. Today was her day to be with Yumi and she wanted to take full advantage of it.
Sachiko quietly walked out of the room as she shut the bedroom door behind her and went over to the phone in the main part of their hotel room.
"Room service." A voice said over the phone as Sachiko smiled looking at the menu in front of her.
-X-X-
"Why didn't you tell me?" Touko asked curiously to Rei the only other person in the room. Yoshino had gone and taken a shower.
Rei glanced over to Touko for a moment. "It wasn't my place to tell you. I figured they weren't telling you for a reason and I still don't know that reason." Rei admitted.
"I wonder what they are going to do today. . ." Touko said as she thought about all things they could possibly do together.
Rei raised an eyebrow curiously. "What do you mean? I thought we were all going to go out to eat later?" Rei asked in confusion, perhaps she had mixed her days up with another.
Touko smiled as she thought about what had happened at the pool the day before. "We are going out to eat still, but Sachiko-sama and Onee-sama, won't be with us." Touko replied as Rei turned her full attention to Touko now.
"Why won't they be with us?" Rei asked in confusion.
"Because they are going out on a date tonight." Touko explained with mild excitement in her voice.
Rei looked at her kind of surprised before glancing up to the door to the bathroom. She knew Yoshino still didn't know and just like she had done with Touko she would wait for Sachiko and Yumi to tell her, though she knew them not being at the dinner tonight would undoubtedly raise questions.
-X-X-
Sachiko took a deep breath as a smile made it's way to her face as she dried her hair in the mirror, this was the first time she had ever done this for someone and the fact that it was Yumi made it all the better. She could feel her heart beating a little faster with the overflowing excitement she had to surprise her girlfriend, she only wished they had their own stove and supplies so she could make her a homemade breakfast. She wasn't the best cook, but she had received training in the kitchen before so that she would make a good wife one day, if she were ever to run out of money and maids that is.
Sachiko smiled at the thought and got a unexplainable sense of joy when she thought about being a good house wife for Yumi. Her smile only grew more when she thought about welcoming Yumi home from work in a house that they lived in together as a couple. Get a grip! Sachiko thought as she regained her senses, she had never thought anything like that before and for now would dismiss the thought.
Sachiko glanced at the small clock she had set on the bathroom counter, she had just a few minutes before the food was supposed to arrive and needed to get changed and ready. She had no idea what to wear though or if she should even dress up at all. In the end she figured wearing her dark gray, almost black satin pajamas might be best.
Once dressed Sachiko slowly and quietly made her way through the room Yumi was sleeping in and out the door of the hotel room where she would wait for room service.
Sachiko leaned against the wall by her hotel room door as she waited, the hallway was empty and quiet until the next door down from her's opened and a familiar face stepped out. "Someone is up early and looking sexy! Did you have a good night last night?" Sei asked with a grin as Sachiko sighed.
"Yes, I had a good night, but not like your thinking." Sachiko answered, she really wished it would have been someone else to walk out of their room.
"I wasn't thinking anything of the sort, I just complimented you and asked if you had a good night. You are the one who thought of doing dirty things to Yumi." Sei argued, though both knew it was as far from the truth as you could get.
Sachiko looked at Sei for a moment before shaking her head slightly and looking away. Sei knew this was a victory even if they both knew it was a lie. Sachiko hadn't been thinking of dirty things though, she had more been thinking about Yumi's reaction, but she still didn't feel like arguing.
Sei decided to let it go this time though, she figured Sachiko was waiting out here for some reason and didn't want to upset her after all it was the day of her and Yumi's date. "So what are you doing out here anyway?" Sei asked curiously as Sachiko blushed ever so slightly.
"I ordered something to eat and Yumi isn't awake yet. I don't want the knocking on the door to wake her so I'm waiting out here for it." Sachiko answered before glancing over at Sei who was wearing blue and white stripped pajamas and had a small bucket in her hand. "What are you doing?"
Sei lifted the bucket to show Sachiko before speaking. "I'm going to get some ice. Just like you I have the perfect plan to surprise my girlfriend." Sei said before her expression turned to a more thoughtful one. "Of course our plans are different though. You are probably surprising Yumi-chan with breakfast in bed and I am surprising Youko with something you want to do with Yumi-chan in bed I'm sure."
"S-Sei-sama!" Sachiko exclaimed halting Sei's words as her face turned beet red.
"Don't worry Sachiko. I'm sure Yumi-chan wants to do the same thing. It's the perfect end to a date also." Sei said as Sachiko looked away from her.
"Don't you have ice to get?" Sachiko asked in mild irritation as Sei took her queue to leave.
Sachiko let out a sigh of relief once Sei was gone, she really knew how to get under Sachiko's skin, especially when it involved Yumi. Thankfully though Sachiko wouldn't have to see Sei again because the ding of the elevator down the hall caught her attention and she could see a hotel employee with the food ordered on a small push cart.
Sachiko smiled once the food was in front of her, it looked great just like she had hoped and she was sure Yumi would love it. Sachiko tipped the employee before grabbing the tray from the cart and returning to her room.
Sachiko took a deep breath as she stepped inside the room, she was getting more and more nervous by the second especially once she saw Yumi's still sleeping face poking out from under the covers. It wasn't long though until Yumi gently turned her head and brought a smile to Sachiko's face, she just loved how cute Yumi looked. I guess this is it. Sachiko thought as she took another breath and slowly made her way to the side of the bed, setting the tray down on the table near the bedside.
"Yumi, it's time to wake up." Sachiko said softly in Yumi's ear as the younger girl's eyes slowly opened and she stretched, letting out a yawn towards the end.
"What smells so good?" Yumi asked a moment later as she turned her head towards Sachiko, which gave Sachiko the perfect opportunity. Sachiko didn't hesitate to take her morning kiss from Yumi's lips, though this kiss was different than normal, it was soft and gentle. The kiss had no reason to progress farther, just the soft touching of their lips was all that was needed. It was the type of kiss that was meant to convey ones love to the other and though the kiss lasted a very long time both knew it wouldn't be enough to really show what they felt inside.
Sachiko slowly opened her eyes as she pulled away from Yumi and took a deep breath. She could feel her heart beating faster, though it wasn't racing like usual. This time it seemed as though her heart was telling her that she was happier than she ever had been and when Yumi's eyes finally opened and met her's, she knew clearly what her heart was trying to tell her. "I love you, Yumi."
Yumi smiled lovingly at Sachiko as she stared into those sapphire eyes that she loved so much. "I love you too, Sachiko." Yumi replied softly before smiling herself.
"I have a surprise." Sachiko said a moment later with a smile as she turned to grab the tray as Yumi sat up in bed trying to see what Sachiko had. "I hope you enjoy it, Yumi. I wish I could say that I prepared it for you myself. . ." Sachiko added a little disappointed as she scooted close to Yumi's side.
Yumi leaned over and gave Sachiko a quick kiss followed by a smile once the tray was sitting on their laps. "It's alright, it's the fact that you did something like this for me that matters." Yumi replied reassuringly as Sachiko smiled and picked up the fork.
"Then at least let me continue, after all today I want to show you how much I love you." Sachiko said as she picked up a piece of fruit with the fork and held it up for Yumi to eat.
-X-X-
"Onee-sama, do you think everything is alright with Sachiko-sama and Yumi-sama?" Noriko asked as she looked over to Shimako who was fixing her hair. The two usually had a pretty calm morning usually just watching whatever was on the television and talking about what they were going to do for the rest of the day. Today however Noriko had to ask, because she had seen how Yumi and Sachiko had seemed to be in their own little world the day before when they were getting ready to leave the water park.
"I think everything is alright, why?" Shimako asked curiously, perhaps Noriko had known and knew something was going wrong.
Noriko shrugged. "I don't know, yesterday they just seemed like they were lost in thought over something. Sachiko-sama didn't even seem to mind that Yumi-sama was resting her head on her shoulder."
"I noticed that too, but I think that Sachiko-sama and Yumi-chan are just that close." Shimako replied as Noriko raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"So you think it's normal for them to be that close Onee-sama?"
"I think it's alright. It's just their way of showing one another they care, I suppose." Shimako reasoned though in her head it wasn't a very good one.
Noriko let out a sigh it was apparent to her that Shimako didn't think much of it. "I guess you're right. I just think if they were any closer they could easily be mistaken as a couple."
Shimako's eyes widened a little as she looked at Noriko, how much did she know? Perhaps she was trying to hint to Shimako that she knew something. "I don't know. The thought of them being together though is a little..." Shimako blushed as she thought about the two kisses she had caught them in. "A little, hard to believe."
"Yes, I know, but I've been surprised before." Noriko said as she watched Shimako's blush fade, she had seen the odd reaction of her Onee-sama but at the time decided to dismiss it.
-X-X-
Yumi smiled after taking the last bite of her breakfast, she had been fed by her love and though it was a little awkward for both of them at first they had enjoyed it. Yumi had never imagined waking up to Sachiko giving her breakfast in bed let alone feeding her that same breakfast. It was a dream come true for Yumi, just like everything else had been and all she could think about while eating her food was how much she loved Sachiko.
"Was it good, Yumi?" Sachiko asked after setting the fork down and looking back to Yumi, she had never done anything like that before and she too had felt a little awkward. Thankfully though Yumi was smiling and that did wonders to relieve Sachiko.
"Yes, it was delicious. Thank you." Yumi replied bringing a smile to Sachiko's face this time. "So what are we going to do today?" Yumi asked a moment later out of curiosity, she really had no idea, but Sachiko seemed to have parts of it planned out especially after waking to a lovely breakfast in bed.
Sachiko's smile turned to a playful grin as she grabbed the tray from Yumi's lap and stood from the bed. "You will find out soon enough. That breakfast was just something to hold you over until it really starts." Sachiko explained as Yumi raised an eyebrow as she grew even more curious as to what Sachiko had planned. Sachiko chuckled a little at Yumi's expression, she knew the question that was on her mind without hearing it. "Don't worry, you will find out soon enough, but I think you should spend some time with Touko-chan today. I'm sure she is curious as to our relationship." Sachiko said as she walked out of the room quick to put the tray table in the other room.
"You want me to spend time with Touko-chan?" Yumi questioned curiously once Sachiko reentered the room.
"You don't have to, but I think you two would have plenty to talk about while I'm busy preparing everything for tonight." Sachiko replied as Yumi put her head down a little sad.
"But, I want to spend my whole day with just you." Yumi pouted.
Sachiko could only smile brightly at her before climbing back onto the bed and giving Yumi a quick kiss. "Don't worry, it will only be a few hours."
-X-X-
Sachiko glanced over to the bathroom door to make sure it was closed and Yumi wouldn't hear her as she made her phone call.
"Sachiko-sama, why are you calling me you know I'm in the room right next to you." Touko asked instead of answering with a greeting.
"I know, but if I went over their Yumi might hear the door shut and wonder where I went." Sachiko replied.
"Why does that matter?" Touko asked confused.
"It's because I need your help and if Yumi knew I was talking with you she might get curious." Sachiko answered.
"It's about your date isn't it?"
"Yes, it would help me tremendously if you could take Yumi shopping today. I need a little time to prepare myself and make sure that everything is in order for tonight... I may also need your help in getting Yumi to the restaurant." Sachiko explained as Touko thought about what Sachiko could possibly have planned, she didn't even need to think of the answer to Sachiko's request it was obvious to her.
"Of course, Sachiko-sama. I would love to help. Just tell me where you need her and when."
-X-X-
Yumi sighed after Sachiko had given her a quick goodbye kiss, she didn't want to do anything else today except stay by Sachiko's side. "I will see you in a few hours right?" Yumi pouted one last time as Sachiko turned with a bright smile on her face.
"Yes I will see you at 5 in the afternoon." Sachiko replied before opening the door and leaving.
Yumi looked at the clock and took a deep breath she still had three hours until five and had no idea what she would do. Her thoughts were completely consumed by Sachiko, especially after her breakfast surprise which still brought a smile to her face hours after it had occurred.
Sachiko had suggested doing something with Touko which Yumi had agreed with, but she was a little nervous about being around Touko, alone, even after the talk in the car the night before. She figured Touko had been holding back her real questions and would probably ask them once she was just one on one with Yumi.
Though the questions may be a little nerve racking she knew Touko was her Petite Soeur and also knew that she was considerate of Yumi's feelings towards Sachiko. Besides that she knew sitting in the empty room she shared with Sachiko would only slowly drive her insane. It had only been five minutes since Sachiko had left and already Yumi had wanted to see her, she was very excited for their date which only enhanced this longing feeling.
Yumi shook her head, if she was going to do something with Touko she should probably put her hair up and with that thought she made her way into the bathroom.
-x-
"Coming." Touko called once she heard a knock on her room door.
Yumi sat a little nervous on the other side, she was still a little bit nervous about what Touko would ask her and now she was standing in her doorway about to be greeted by her.
"Onee-sama, come in, I'm almost ready to go." Touko said as Yumi bowed her head before entering the room. "Sorry about the mess, Yoshino-sama is quite messy." Touko explained as she walked by Yumi towards her bag.
"It's fine, I was just surprised at how different your room looks is all." Yumi replied as Touko turned and grinned at her slightly.
"Well, we have more than one bed of course it's different." Touko playfully commented before turning back and grabbing her clothes. "I'm going to go change it will be just a minute."
Yumi nodded as she took a seat on the edge of Touko's bed, she still couldn't help but wonder what Sachiko had in store for her. It was exciting to think of all the different things Sachiko would do though Yumi really had no idea what she was planning.
"Onee-sama." Touko said again as Yumi blinked a few times coming back into reality she had been on her own dream date in her mind. "Are you worried about what Sachiko-sama has planned?" Touko asked once she had Yumi's attention.
Yumi shook her head. "No, I'm not worried, just curious." She said standing from the bed now that Touko was ready to leave. "Where are we going anyways?"
"I thought we could go to the mall and I'm sure Sachiko-sama is trying hard to make things perfect for you." Touko replied as Yumi raised an eyebrow curiously.
"What makes you say that Touko-chan?"
"Even though I've only known for a day that you two are together, I can see the change in her. She is different, especially when around you. The look in her eyes last night when you woke her was enough to make anyone think she was head over heels for you." Touko explained as Yumi blushed. "It's nothing to be embarrassed about Onee-sama. She loves you and you love her right?"
"Yes, I do love her." Yumi admitted a bit shyly, she still wasn't used to others knowing and it felt awkward to say it in front of others.
Touko smiled, she was happy to hear those few simple words from Yumi's mouth finally. She had recalled when Yumi had first told her of her crush on Sachiko and how she had kept it a secret in fear of Sachiko leaving her. Everything that had happened was still quite a surprise to Touko, Sachiko actually returning Yumi's feelings let alone the two being in a relationship. Still though, Touko couldn't help but smile, she was happy for both of them, especially Yumi who like Sachiko seemed as happy as can be.
"Onee-sama, I don't think you are as curious to see what she has planned as you are anxious to be with her." Touko finally replied with a smile.
Yumi thought about what she said for a moment before letting out a sigh, she knew Touko was right. She really couldn't care less what Sachiko had planned for her, she really just wanted to be with Sachiko. She wanted to snuggle close to her, hold her, hug her, kiss her...
"Onee-sama...?" Touko asked again as Yumi snapped out of her thoughts which were beginning to spiral out of control quickly. "We should get going." Touko added once she realized she had Yumi's full attention.
Yumi swallowed with a slight nod as Touko turned for the door hiding her knowing smile.
"I can only imagine what Sachiko-sama will think when I tell her how much you missed her." Touko joked as she held the door open for Yumi.
-X-X-
"You know with the way you are preparing things it's almost like you are thinking about proposing." Sei joked as Sachiko looked at her a bit surprised, she couldn't be mad at this thought though and dismissed it quickly.
Youko raised an eyebrow at Sachiko, usually the raven haired girl would put up an argument to Sei, but this time she had just let it go. "Sachiko, you aren't thinking about proposing are you?" Youko asked a little hesitantly as Sachiko turned to her with a look of disbelief.
"P-propose? No I'm not proposing, I just want our date to be perfect." Sachiko explained as Sei chuckled.
"They haven't even slept together yet, I doubt she would be proposing." Sei said a little teasingly as Youko looked to Sei.
"You know some people wait until they get married to do that type of thing." Youko replied to Sei who just rolled her eyes.
"I bet those people realize once they are married what a miserable life they have been living." Sei said to no one in particular.
"I'm not proposing and I'm not waiting until we get ma...!" Sachiko cut off her sentence as she turned away from the two stunned face girls to hide her blush. She wasn't use to letting things slip and when they did she wasn't sure how to handle them, she wasn't as experienced as her girlfriend in these types of situations.
Sei grinned after a moments pause, she could practically feel Sachiko's embarrassment. "I'm sure Yumi-chan would be ecstatic to hear that Sachiko-san."
"Sei..." Youko warned, she knew this could easily bring out the anger in Sachiko.
"You really think so?" Sachiko asked surprising both of them as they turned their attention from each other to Sachiko who was still facing away from them.
"Of course, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to reading girls and frankly... If Youko looked at me like Yumi looks at you I would make love to her on the spot." Sei explained as Youko's eyes went wide.
"Sei!" Youko exclaimed as she looked away from her girlfriend before letting out a loud sigh.
Sachiko thought about Sei's words for a moment as a slight smile appeared on her lips, she wasn't sure why, but hearing that Yumi was looking at her in such way's made her happy.
"Sachiko you're being awfully quiet all of the sudden. . ." Sei said noticing the silence from Sachiko. "If you're trying to figure out how to... woo her, if you will, I think I can help." Sei continued as Youko gave her a warning look. Sei knew she should tread carefully from here on, she had already embarrassed Youko and she knew Sachiko seemed to love getting angry with her.
Sachiko turned quickly showing her slightly red face to Youko and Sei. "I'm not trying to seduce her. I just want the perfect date!" Sachiko said firmly, though it was mostly to try and hide her embarrassment and hopefully suppress the thoughts that were starting to appear in her mind. She had once dreamed about Yumi in her sleep, but ever since she had officially become Yumi's girlfriend her thoughts had turned to more of a hunger to be with Yumi.
Sei sighed as she crossed her arms. "You're no fun."
Youko shook her head as she stood from the chair she was sitting in and walked over to Sachiko. "Ignore her, she is just poking at you. . ." Youko said as she glanced over to Sei who stuck her tongue out at her. Youko rolled her eyes as she looked back to Sachiko. "I understand you want the perfect date but I'm sure Yumi-chan would just be happy being with you. I think what you have prepared will be plenty enough."
"You'd get me in bed." Sei added as Sachiko and Youko looked over at her with a threatening look. Sei put her hands up in surrender. "Alright, I get it, I'll stop."
Youko looked back to Sachiko. "I'm sure everything will be fine. You are worrying over nothing, Yumi-chan loves you and I'm sure anything you do for her is appreciated."
Sachiko smiled a moment later as she looked back to Youko, she knew that she was right, but she still worried that Yumi might not like what she had planned.
-X-X-
"Onee-sama, you said this was your second date? If you don't mind me asking where was your first?" Touko asked curiously breaking the silence in the back seat of the car they were riding in.
Yumi turned her gaze from the window to Touko, she had figured a question like this might arise, after all Touko-chan probably did deserve to know something, Yumi had worried her over all this. "Well, it wasn't exactly planned, it just kind of happened. Sachiko asked if I had wanted to get something to eat instead of going straight home from school."
"An offer you couldn't refuse?" Touko asked a little teasingly as Yumi just shyly smiled.
"An offer I would never refuse." Yumi shyly admitted as she recalled the passionate kiss she had shared with Sachiko on that particular day, it was a moment she would never forget.
"Where did she take you?" Touko asked curiously.
Yumi put on an awkward smile as she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "Well, I don't really remember the name of the place. I have only been their with her, everything was so expensive, but she insisted it would be fine if she payed."
Touko smiled as she looked over to Yumi, it was nice to hear that Sachiko did something like that for her. "It seems as though you have claimed her heart as your own then. You are very precious to her, it's easy to tell by how happy and... normal she has been acting lately." Touko said as Yumi raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Normal?" Yumi asked.
"Yes, normal... She always acted how she was taught, she sat up straight, she followed the rules, and she was always a proper lady. Now that you have entered her life she is not following her upbringing so much anymore, it's almost like you have removed the mask she has always hidden behind." Touko explained before continuing. "She can truly be herself with you Onee-sama, your the only person on this planet she is like that with."
"We're here." The driver said after Touko finished, speaking which for Yumi was a good thing because she had no idea what to think let alone say. She was just happy that Touko would say such things, she had always loved Sachiko whether she was hiding behind her mask or being herself. Yumi didn't care as long as she was with her.
"Let's go, Onee-sama, we should get you something to wear for tonight." Touko said as she held out a hand to help Yumi out of the car.
"S-something to wear...?" Yumi asked, she hadn't even thought about what she would wear on her date with Sachiko. She wasn't even sure what Sachiko had planned, how could she even know what type of clothing to get.
"You want to look good for Sachiko-sama, right?" Touko asked a little confused at Yumi's reaction.
"Well, yes, but I don't even know where she is bringing me..." Yumi replied as Touko smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll help you pick something." Touko reassured Yumi which was relieving but confusing at the same time, Touko shouldn't know what Sachiko had planned either.
Yumi knew that it didn't matter though, she would just be happy with any help at this point.
-x-
Touko chuckled to herself as she poked her head over the clothing rack only to see the dumbfounded look on Yumi's face, she knew Yumi wanted to pick the right thing and she also knew Yumi had no idea what to get. "Here, try this Onee-sama." Touko said a moment later as she grabbed a shirt off the rack and walked around to Yumi.
Yumi glanced at the shirt Touko had picked out, it was a low-cut plain black t-shirt with a few navy blue flowers around the bottom. "It is, nice, but don't you think that is too revealing?" Yumi asked as Touko looked at the shirt herself.
Touko glanced from the shirt to Yumi before holding it up to her. "Hmm, you're right, it does hang a little low, but I'm sure Sachiko-sama wouldn't mind that." Touko said as Yumi blushed a little.
"I just don't know if it's right for our date." Yumi replied.
Touko sighed as she put the shirt back on the rack, they had been shopping for thirty minutes now without a single clue as to what to get. "Well, what are you thinking then? We need to pick something out for you." Touko explained as Yumi glanced over Touko's shoulder.
"A dress?" Touko asked as she turned to see what Yumi was looking at.
"Well, I was thinking about it, but I don't know where we are going so I'm not sure." Yumi replied, she really had thought a dress would be the best option.
"You know Sachiko-sama's tastes better than I do." Touko said as she turned back to the dresses. "We should go pick one out if that is what you want to wear."
"I still don't know if that is the right thing to wear. . ." Yumi replied.
Touko stopped in her tracks as she let out a sigh. "Onee-sama, I'm sure a dress will be fine. You could probably even get away with wearing a burlap sack and I'm sure Sachiko-sama wouldn't care."
Yumi thought about what Sachiko's reaction would be like for a moment. She could imagine Sachiko pulling her to the side and giving her a speech about proper clothing to wear in public. Then again, she hadn't received a speech like that since she became Sachiko's girlfriend. It made her wonder if Sachiko had just pulled her aside like that to be alone for a moment? It had always used to make Yumi so excited when Sachiko asked to be alone with her, even if the older girl seemed irritated.
"I don't know if either of us would like that." Yumi replied as Touko eagerly held out a dress towards her.
"Here try this...and you never know, she may like you in next to nothing." Touko said as Yumi eye's went a little wide as she nervously looked around to see if anyone had noticed.
"Touko-chan, shh! What if someone hears you?" Yumi asked as Touko raised an eyebrow.
Touko had to think about what she had just said before it set in. "Sorry! It just slipped, though I don't think anyone heard me." Touko explained as she glanced around.
Yumi sighed. "It's fine, I am just worried that someone who doesn't approve will hear." Yumi replied a little weakly.
Touko smiled at Yumi. "It shouldn't matter what they think, you love Sachiko and that should be all that matters." Touko reassured Yumi.
Yumi smiled with a slight nod of her head. "You're right, I know, but I'm still a little nervous about people knowing."
"I understand, just remember though, you have your friends support no matter what happens." Touko replied brightening Yumi's smile.
"Speaking of my friends, I still haven't told Yoshino-san or Noriko-chan." Yumi said with a sigh, she knew Yoshino would probably be upset that she wasn't told.
"You can worry about those two later, we still have to find you something to wear and make sure you are dropped off on time." Touko explained before covering her mouth.
Yumi looked at Touko with a raised eyebrow. "Touko-chan, you wouldn't keep a secret from your Onee-sama would you?" Yumi asked a moment later.
Touko rolled her eyes. "I guess Sachiko-sama isn't the only one picking up things from her girlfriend..." Touko said with a small grin. Yumi may have said something resembling Sachiko there but Touko was her cousin, it would take a lot more than a determined Onee-sama to get the truth out of her.
-X-X-
The time was nearing five and Sachiko patiently waited outside the restaurant she had chosen to bring Yumi to. She had arrived about thirty minutes earlier than she had told Yumi to meet her, she didn't want to be late. At least that is what she had told Sei and Youko who had been helping her most of the day, the truth was she like Yumi did not want to split up on this particular day. She had wanted to spend it all with her, but she wanted everything to be a surprise for Yumi and knew if she was their while Sachiko was on the phone she would surely know what Sachiko had planned.
Sachiko let out a sigh as she waited, it was getting closer to five and Yumi was no where to be seen. She had told Touko to drop her off at the restaurant at five and usually Touko was early, but today was the exception as Sachiko checked a small wristwatch she kept inside her pocket. Sachiko had worn very casual clothing, she had on a pair of blue jeans and a black button up sweater which covered the plain blue t-shirt she was wearing underneath.
She had no idea what Yumi was going to wear, she had completely forgotten to tell Yumi whether she should dress casually or not. Admittedly she was excited to see what her girlfriend wore, though she did feel a little bad for not telling her.
Thankfully for Sachiko she wouldn't have to wait much longer to see Yumi because a black four door car had stopped near the curb in front of her. Sachiko couldn't see through the tainted windows, but that wouldn't matter because it was only a moment later that the back door opened and Yumi stepped out wearing a lengthy white dress with a few faint red flowers scattered around it.
Touko smiled from the back of the car when she saw the look in Sachiko's eyes, it spoke the words that she could not.
"Beautiful..." Sachiko whispered as she stood from her seat never taking her eyes off Yumi.
Yumi had a faint blush on her cheeks as she stood a few feet in front of Sachiko, she had felt a little rush from wearing something like this in front of Sachiko.
"Yumi, you look amazing." Sachiko finally said loud enough for her to hear as she took Yumi's hand in her own.
Yumi smiled as she looked over what Sachiko was wearing. "Thank you but I may have over done it." She admitted as Sachiko chuckled.
"Nonsense, Yumi. This is a date after all. If anything I'm the one who is not dressed appropriately." Sachiko replied.
"No that isn't true. Besides, you look good in anything you wear." Yumi said with a smile as they were interrupted by Touko.
"I think you two can take things from here. I will be leaving, have fun you two and don't stay out too late." Touko said with a smile as she closed the door and instructed the driver to take her to the hotel.
"Shall we?" Sachiko asked a moment later as she looked down at Yumi who just simply nodded her head.
Yumi was amazed when she walked into the building with Sachiko. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. There stood an average sized desk with a very fancily dressed greeter behind it. The thing that really caught Yumi's eyes was the giant glass piece behind her with waterfalls flowing down both sides into a small pool. The water itself in the pool and near the top of where it was coming from were lit by dim blue neon lights.
The rest of the restaurant had a very modern feel to it, definitely something Yumi wasn't used to and Sachiko knew her girlfriend was a little awe struck just by looking at her. All it took though was a squeeze of her hand to bring Yumi's attention back to her.
"Yumi, this is our table." Sachiko said as Yumi looked down to the small table for two which was in a more private area that not many people were in. Sachiko had called ahead to get try and get a private table which at first wasn't going to happen until she mentioned that she was an Ogasawara. She didn't like using her names power, but if it meant having the best for Yumi then she would let it slide this time.
Yumi smiled as she let go of Sachiko's hand and pulled out a chair, which Sachiko could only smile and happily accept. "Thank you, Yumi, but you didn't have to do that." Sachiko explained as Yumi took her own seat.
"I can't take care of my girlfriend every once in awhile?" Yumi asked with a shy smile which surprised Sachiko. "After all you are doing more than I possibly could." Yumi continued which was a little hard to say, she so badly wanted to do something like this for Sachiko, but without money it was hard.
Sachiko smiled a moment later as Yumi looked down to the table, she knew that Yumi was a little disheartened that she couldn't do anything like this. "Yumi, look at me." Sachiko said as Yumi looked up from the table to her girlfriend. "You don't have to do things like this for me. You have done something that no one else can, Yumi. You have made me happier than I have ever been and just knowing that you love me as much as I love you is the only thing that matters to me. As long as you're by my side then I don't need anything else, Yumi." Sachiko continued softly as Yumi smiled. It never failed to make her smile when Sachiko spoke from her heart.
"Sachiko...I love you." That was the only thing Yumi could manage to say, she was just so happy to hear those words from the older girl she had loved so much.
"I love you too, Yumi and I hope you enjoy what I have planned for tonight." Sachiko replied as the waiter approached with an awkward look on her face.
"Welcome, my name is Miki, I will be your waiter today." She said as she handed Yumi and Sachiko a menu. The weird look on her face still lingered though, normally this area was reserved for those on dates, especially at a table for two like this.
Yumi smiled and bowed her head a little bit in acknowledgment of the waiter's greeting before opening the menu in front of her.
"Yumi, get anything you want." Sachiko said as Yumi looked up over the top edge of her menu with a bit of a guilty look in her eyes. She knew Sachiko wouldn't have it any other way, but she still felt guilty about Sachiko paying for everything. She would have to think of a way to make it up to her, though she knew Sachiko would tell her it wasn't needed.
"Celebrating a special occasion?" The waitress asked as she awaited the drink orders. She thought it might have been a work meeting of some sort seeing as though Sachiko was offering to pay for everything.
Yumi looked to Sachiko as she lowered her menu a little. "Yes, we are on our second date." Yumi said with a smile directed towards Sachiko. She wasn't sure why, but it felt good to say it even if it was to someone random. Perhaps it was because of what Touko had told her earlier, either way it felt good and was worth it because of the loving smile that appeared on Sachiko's face.
The waitress looked from Sachiko to Yumi for a moment before smiling. "I'm sorry, I..."
"It's fine." Sachiko said interrupting the waitress, she knew her apology might become awkward and all she cared about was talking with Yumi at this point.
The waitress could tell what Sachiko was doing and was thankful, because she wasn't quite sure how to respond. "Well moving on! Can I get you two anything to drink?" Miki asked with a smile.
"I'll just take a water." Sachiko responded before looking to Yumi.
"I think water sounds good also." Yumi said a moment later.
"Alright, I will be right back with your waters." Miki said as she turned away from the table and left.
Sachiko smiled at Yumi who could only raise and eyebrow in confusion. "D-did I do something embarrassing?" Yumi asked thinking over everything that had just happened.
"No, I was just surprised to hear you tell her we were on a date. It really made me happy, Yumi." Sachiko said still smiling as Yumi blushed a little.
"It's the truth though, today is special because I get to spend it with you." Yumi replied as Miki returned with the waters.
"Are you two ready to order or do you still need some more time?" Miki asked as Sachiko took her eyes off of Yumi's.
"I think we still need another minute, please." Sachiko replied as Miki smiled and nodded her head. Once she was gone Sachiko looked back to Yumi who was glancing down at her menu. "Remember, Yumi. Get anything you want, I want this date to be a memorable one." Sachiko admitted as Yumi looked up at her before smiling and nodding.
"It will be. I haven't forgotten anything about our first date after all and that one wasn't even planned." Yumi explained with a smile before continuing. "Besides even if I wanted to forget I couldn't. Just being able to call you my girlfriend is a dream come true."
Sachiko chuckled for a moment as she thought back to her own dreams that she was having. "I know the feeling. I thought I would go crazy over the dreams I had about you, Yumi." Sachiko said as she thought about her recent dreams. She knew she should probably keep them to herself, after all she would be sleeping in the same bed as Yumi later and she didn't want her to be uncomfortable.
-x-
The dinner continued on as Yumi and Sachiko made small talk about school and their families. Most of the dinner though had been consumed by talk about the date and Sachiko slightly teasing Yumi as to where she planned on bringing her. Yumi had still been curious and it was obvious by the look on her face.
"So Touko-chan never said anything?" Sachiko asked as Yumi shook her head, she really had no idea what Sachiko had planned.
"She never told me anything, she just brought me to the mall and helped me pick out this dress." Yumi explained as Sachiko raised an eyebrow.
"She helped you pick out a dress?" Sachiko asked, she had not known Touko-chan to be the dress wearing type.
"Well, it was my idea to wear a dress, but she did help me look. I still think I'm a little overdressed though." Yumi replied as Sachiko smiled.
"It doesn't matter, Yumi. You are very beautiful in it and I'm glad you wore it." Sachiko said with a slight pause before continuing. "Yumi, I think we should be going though. After all we do have somewhere to be soon."
"Oh? Are we going to a movie?" Yumi asked curiously as Sachiko shook her head.
"You will just have to wait and see." Sachiko said a little excited, she really did hope Yumi would like what she had her plan in mind Sachiko stood up and helped Yumi to her feet before leaving the restaurant and bringing Yumi to a car that she had called to be their at this time.
-x-
The car ride was somewhat long and Yumi could only wonder where Sachiko was taking her when she noticed they were heading towards the outskirts of the city they were in. She had originally thought that Sachiko perhaps had a movie or something similar planned, but it seemed like she had other plans on this night.
"Yumi, we are almost there, I hope your not getting bored, I know this drive there is kind of long from the restaurant, but I assure you it's much closer to the hotel." Sachiko explained as Yumi turned her eyes from the window to Sachiko.
"No, I'm not bored Sachiko." Yumi said as she took Sachiko's hand.
Sachiko smiled at Yumi before looking out the window. "Yumi, look, there it is." Sachiko said as Yumi joined her in looking out the window at an empty dirt parking lot. The only thing Yumi could make out was some small lights near the ground that lit a small path.
Yumi was a bit confused, but figured she would know soon enough as the car came to a stop. It was only a moment later that she felt Sachiko tug on her hand a little to bring her back to reality. "Come on , Yumi we are almost there." Sachiko said once again as Yumi took a step out of the car and followed Sachiko towards the small path she had seen before.
"Sachiko, where are we going? It's really dark." Yumi said as the two climbed the stairs.
"Don't worry, Yumi. I will be with you the whole time." Sachiko replied as she pulled Yumi a little closer to her for comfort.
That was all that Yumi needed from her girlfriend. She wasn't exactly scared, but she wasn't exactly comfortable either, but thankfully Sachiko knew her very well and immediately dispelled any fears she had.
It was only a minute or so later that Yumi could see the faint glow of light up ahead, which only made her try to increase their pace more. Sachiko didn't mind though, quite the opposite actually, she found it cute and funny how Yumi was almost pulling her along now. She knew she was excited and a little bit afraid of being in this dark park in the hills. Thankfully for Yumi though, Sachiko had called and got everything approved to be their. There was nothing to fear and with that being a secret to Yumi, Sachiko could simply adore the mix of emotions she got to see run across Yumi's face, at least the one's she could see on this dark night.
Yumi was confused when they reached the top of the stairs, which led to a clearing on the side of the hill, that overlooked the city. The sight was beautiful, but the reason to Yumi's confusion was the fact that their was a lone light on the top of the very last stair that had given it the illusion of being lit from lower. Yumi could only look from the light to Sachiko, she was confused as to what this was supposed to be, she knew the view was good and that is probably what Sachiko had thought about, but at the same time they had nothing to sit on and it was dark where they were.
Sachiko just chuckled a little bit at Yumi's confused expression, she knew the questions on the girl's mind even if she didn't ask them. "What do you think Yumi?" Sachiko asked innocently as she looked from Yumi to the city below.
"It's very beautiful, but isn't it a little dark and there is nowhere to sit." Yumi said finally speaking her concerns.
Sachiko smiled at Yumi. "That's good that it's dark, Yumi, because I can do this then." Sachiko said as she turned to Yumi and leaned in for a soft kiss.
Yumi closed her eyes once her lips met Sachiko's, even if she did have questions about what was going on still, it didn't matter.
Yumi could feel Sachiko smile during the kiss, it was a feeling she had grown to love and one only she would ever know. Though the reason of her smiling was still a mystery, until Yumi opened her eyes as Sachiko pulled away. The first thing to catch Yumi's eyes were the tree's above them which were now lighting up with dangling string lights. They weren't very bright though, instead they only dimly lit the open area in front of them, which also revealed a blanket laid out on the grassy hillside.
Sachiko's smile only grew bigger when she saw the look in Yumi's eyes, it wasn't as surprised as she thought. Instead it looked more awe struck, like she had never seen anything like this before, though she knew it was because Yumi was not expecting this. "Do you like it Yumi?" Sachiko asked before leading Yumi over to the blanket in the grass.
"I love it. . ." Yumi said almost breathless, she really was shocked and at the same time she couldn't help but feel her body swell with love for Sachiko. No one had ever done anything like this for her before and the fact that it was none other than Sachiko had almost pushed her to tears of joy.
"I'm glad, because I love you, Yumi and this was for you. I thought you would like it." Sachiko explained as she let go of Yumi's hand and took a seat on the blanket.
Yumi followed Sachiko's lead and plopped down next to her with a smile on her face. "Of course I like it. . . You were the one who did it for me." Yumi admitted a little shyly before turning her head to Sachiko who had her eyes on Yumi. "You know, I'm glad we came on this trip."
"Me too." Sachiko said never taking her eyes off of Yumi.
"Well, I'm glad that I get to spend time with you the most...and sleep in the same bed." Yumi admitted though the last part was pretty quiet. "I'm mainly glad because, even though I never thought it possible, I have fallen even more in love with you than I was." Yumi went on to say as Sachiko looked at her thoughtfully. "I just want to stay together with you forever. That is why I think I'm going to tell Noriko and Yoshino. I don't want to hide our relationship from our friends anymore, I want them to know what you mean to me."
Sachiko could only smile brightly before leaning over to Yumi and giving her another gentle kiss. "Yumi, I feel the same way and if you want to tell them then I want to do it with you. You are the one thing in this world that matters most to me, Yumi. After spending this vacation with you, I can't imagine what it will be like to sleep in my own bed alone again. . ." Sachiko said before being caught off guard by Yumi's lips.
Both girls feelings were at an all time high, they had both wanted nothing more than to express their love for one another and soon found that this gentle kiss, which had started from the loving words shared between one another turned passionate. They wouldn't notice though as they became lost in the moment and everything was tuned out.
It didn't take long though for Yumi's desires to catch up with her and without even realizing it, Sachiko found herself on her back with Yumi hovering over her still lip locked. Sachiko had noticed, though she didn't care, because like Yumi her desires were also getting the best of her and it was noticed by Yumi when she felt Sachiko hands on her waist. This didn't stop her kisses though, in fact all they had done was fuel her desire more as the kiss deepened.
When Yumi finally pulled away from Sachiko's lips to take a breath she finally saw the look in her girlfriend's eyes, she had usually been almost intimidated by this look, but now in her current state she found that it was driving her wild.
"Sachiko. . ." Yumi breathed a moment later as she gazed into those sapphire orbs that she could honestly stare into for eternity if allowed.
"What is it, Yumi?" Sachiko softly replied as her breathing became more steady, she too had her eyes locked on Yumi's. The look in the younger girl's eyes resembled hers if she could see it. It was as though there was something blinding them from their usual shyness and bringing out a more needing, wanting look.
Yumi swallowed, her mind was in a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts shooting every which way, but eventually her desires caught back up to her and allowed the words on her mind to flow freely. "Do you want to go back to the hotel room...?" Yumi asked before feeling her heart stop. She had been thinking thoughts that she shouldn't once again, but this time she couldn't help but speak her mind. Sachiko was just too beautiful and if she didn't say anything she felt like her heart may burst, though she never intended to ask such a question. It was just the first thing that came to her mind.
Sachiko was speechless for a moment as she looked at Yumi with her mouth open. She couldn't believe what her girlfriend had just asked, but to be sure she had to ask. "Yumi, you mean you. . .?" Sachiko asked a bit hesitantly as Yumi blushed deeply while nodding slightly. Sachiko was at a complete loss now, she had never expected anything like this, but like Yumi it had been on her mind and with that pushing her over the edge, Sachiko found herself calling the driver back to pick them up.
-x-
Sachiko found herself almost pulling Yumi down the hall towards her bedroom door, the two hadn't been able to resist keeping their hands themselves during the car ride. Though the touches weren't exactly inappropriate each one had sent a dizzying shock to both their heads. It was just a simple touch, but it had never felt so good and the only thing the car ride had accomplished in the end was pushing Sachiko and Yumi just that much further towards their growing lust for one another.
Sachiko pushed the door open and before Yumi could say anything she had been pressed against the wall in a passionate kiss as Sachiko closed the door with her free hand. The kiss was hungry, needy, and full of lust as the two fumbled to get their shoes off and slowly made their way towards the bedroom.
It was like nothing the two had ever done before and for both of them it was almost easier to keep going and get lost in the moment than think about it and possibly ruin what was happening. After all both had thought about this and wanted it and once Yumi found herself pinned to the bed with Sachiko hovering over her she heard a few words that would make her heart beat faster than it ever had.
"Yumi, you are sure about this?" Sachiko asked with a serious look as she hovered over her girlfriend. This too was a bit overwhelming for her, but if Yumi was ready than she was too.
"Yes, Sachiko. I've never been more sure about anything in my life." Yumi replied before catching Sachiko's lips for one of many deep kisses to come. This night would definitely be memorable, not just for the date that Sachiko had planned, but for the girls finally overcoming their fears and becoming one. It would be the first time for both of them, but in the end they wouldn't haven given their purity to anyone else.
Alright, so another long chapter like the last one. It just seemed fitting for this. I hope this chapter wasn't too all over the place, because I was literally doing half a scene one day then the next trying to pick it back up. I'm satisfied with it, but the longer I take on them the more scattered they feel to me personally. Anyways, the relationship is moving along quite nicely I think and I think I have one chapter left of the vacation, but it might include the trip home. I haven't quite decided yet, but this little vacation part is almost done serving it's purpose :).
Noriko and Yoshino left! I hope the ending to this was decent, I know for those who have read the surprise it's much less detailed and way more mild. This story isn't about that though so sorry if you were awaiting that big scene! Rated T after all and I think I got my point across with that ending there. I think the beginning of the next chapter will be fun :) Not sure if it will be long or not, the water park thing and this one just fit well so I went with it.
Anyways enough of my rambles on this, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope to get the next one out a bit faster! Sorry for not updating my profile recently either I haven't had much time I will get back to doing that!
