As always my thoughts on this chapter will be down below, enjoy!
Yumi yawned as she snuggled closer to Sachiko before her eyes popped open instantly when she felt something out of the ordinary. It was only then that her mind jumped to life and memories of the night before flooded her head.
Yumi blushed a bit at these memories, the night before she, like Sachiko, had given her purity to the one she loved most and called her girlfriend. It was probably the best thing that Yumi had ever experienced and she would never forget anything that happened the night before. It still felt like a dream being here with Sachiko like this, but if it was a dream then Yumi's only hope was that she would never wake up.
Thankfully for both of them though this wasn't a dream and Yumi was reminded of that when she felt Sachiko's bare chest move against her arm that she had wrapped around her while asleep. Yumi's blush only deepened when Sachiko rolled onto her side and wrapped an arm around Yumi holding her in place, as their bare bodies pressed against one another.
This feeling was still awkward for Yumi, being with Sachiko like this, but she tried hard to keep calm as her body reacted to Sachiko's touching her. The feeling was enough to take her breath away and consume her mind with even more memories of the night before. She really shouldn't be embarrassed by this, but now that she wasn't lost in her desires, she couldn't help but be a little shy.
Though that shyness was accompanied by a joyous feeling, one that she enjoyed so much she didn't dare try and move or wake Sachiko. All Yumi could do was try and enjoy being with Sachiko like this even if she did feel embarrassed, because she had no idea when the next time something like this might happen again. Then again she found it odd to be pondering when she would be able to do this again, it was certainly unladylike and she could only wonder if Sachiko would think the same thing.
It was about twenty minutes later before Sachiko would start to wake up and when she felt her arms around Yumi, it was only reactionary to hug her tightly, though Yumi felt different this morning. It wasn't until Sachiko opened her eyes that she realized where she had been snuggling her head as she slept.
She instantly swallowed as she pulled her head away from Yumi's still bare chest, though she still held her close. The only thing she could do was look up at Yumi and swallow, she had loved the feeling of being with her like this and she, like Yumi could only think about everything that had happened the night before.
Both girls stared at one another in silence, not quite sure what to say, but neither of them let go of one another. Thankfully though they both realized this and that did wonders to relieve some of tension between them, which Sachiko took advantage of to speak. "Yumi. . . I. . . Good morning." Sachiko stuttered, she really had no idea what to say or do in a situation like this.
Yumi swallowed before putting on a shy smile and trying to make things less awkward. "No morning kiss?" Yumi asked before instantly wishing she could take back the words. "I-I mean. . ." Yumi said shaking her head before letting out a defeated sigh. "I don't know what to say." Yumi finally admitted as Sachiko chuckled a little before closing the distance between her and Yumi's lips.
Sachiko could feel Yumi jump a little from the kiss, it was a morning kiss they would never forget, because it followed the night that they had finally become one. Both girls could only wonder when the next time they would share another kiss like this would be.
Sachiko pulled away a moment later and smiled at Yumi before lifting her head to look at the alarm clock which read 9:14AM. "I think we should get up Yumi, we don't want to miss breakfast." Sachiko explained as she released her grip on Yumi's body and scooted towards the edge of the bed.
Yumi eye's went wide as Sachiko crawled out of bed and went to the suitcase to find clothes to wear. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest and her breathing becoming a little uneasy, she had done things to Sachiko the night before that would always send a shiver down her spine.
Sachiko didn't seem to think much of it though, being bare like this in front of Yumi, at least that is what the brunette thought. She really was trying to hide a blush though and she knew that one of them would have to get out of bed eventually, so to save Yumi some embarrassment she decided she would be the one to do it.
Sachiko blushed a bit when she finally turned around and saw a blushing Yumi who couldn't keep her eyes off her. It was only a moment later that Yumi blinked and looked away, realizing that Sachiko was now looking at her.
"I'm sorry, Sachiko. I didn't mean to stare." Yumi apologized.
Sachiko paused for a moment as she collected her thoughts. "It's fine, Yumi. After all you have done more than just see me like this." She shyly admitted before making her way to the door. "You should get dressed though, we wouldn't want to miss breakfast."
Yumi nodded before Sachiko walked out of the room leaving her to change in private. Yumi let out a sigh as she climbed out of bed and started walking over towards her suitcase to find some clothes.
Yumi froze in front of the slightly open doorway as her eyes met Sachiko's, which she noticed were roaming her still bare body. It was a complete coincidence that Yumi had been caught in this situation, after all she was the one who put her suitcase on Sachiko's side of the room.
Sachiko shook her head a moment later as she realized how deeply both her and Yumi were blushing. "Y-Yumi. . ." Sachiko finally stuttered, she was speechless mainly due to the sight of her beautiful girlfriend in front of her.
It was only when Yumi heard her name that she thought to cover herself with her hands which she immediately realized made this situation feel awkward.
"Sorry, Yumi, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I just can't keep my eyes off you. . . You're so beautiful." Sachiko explained thinking that she may have caused Yumi some embarrassment.
Yumi quickly shook her head as she walked past the door towards her suitcase. "No, there is nothing to be sorry about Sachiko. I stared at you also, so I guess we are even, besides you already said it once. You have done more than just see me bare." Yumi explained as she pulled a shirt over her head.
Sachiko paused for a moment, she couldn't help but feel that there was an underlying message in Yumi's words and she had to know. "Yumi, do you regret what we did last night. . .?" Sachiko finally asked, she wasn't sure why, but she felt that Yumi was acting a little too shy about it and wondered if she had made Yumi feel pushed to do that with her.
Yumi paused in the doorway as the words left Sachiko's mouth, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Sachiko, why are you asking that all of the sudden?" Yumi asked a moment later as Sachiko let out another sigh.
"I am just afraid that you didn't want to do that last night and that I was too persistent." Sachiko admitted as Yumi went over to her and took her hands in her own.
"Sachiko, I don't know why you think that, but I want you to know that I regret nothing that happened last night. . . To be perfectly honest. . . I was actually wondering when the next time would be." Yumi said before quietly adding the last part barley loud enough for Sachiko to hear.
Sachiko smiled brightly before leaning down and kissing Yumi, she could tell that Yumi was being truthful and frankly she had been wondering the same thing ever since she woke up. The night before had been perfect and she had taken her relationship with Yumi to a whole new level.
"I'm glad, Yumi. I had never done anything like that before, but I'm glad it was with you. I wouldn't dream of having it any other way." Sachiko admitted with a smile.
"I wouldn't want it any other way either, because you are the one I love and will always love." Yumi said matching Sachiko's smile. "Now why don't we go downstairs and get some breakfast?"
Sachiko could only nod in response as Yumi intertwined her fingers with Sachiko's and began to walk towards the door.
-X-X-
It only took a couple minutes to get downstairs to where breakfast was being served and once they got there, they found the rest of the Yamayurikai sitting a table and decided to join them.
Sachiko pulled out a chair for Yumi before taking a seat next to her herself, which got confused looks from Noriko and Yoshino, but smiles from the rest of them, especially Sei.
"Was everything all right last night?" Sei asked curiously with a concerned look on her face as the rest of the girls looked to Sachiko and Yumi.
"Everything was fine, why?" Sachiko replied also a little curious she had no idea what Sei could be talking about.
"We were just wondering, because we heard someone scream Yumi-chan's name quite late last night. We were just wondering if everything was all right." Sei explained as her concerned look turned to an amused grin.
"Yea, we heard that too, it woke us up, what happened?" Yoshino asked curiously.
Both Yumi and Sachiko blushed a little bit as Sei's grin grew bigger, which both noticed. "I-I just surprised Sachiko by dropping something on accident was all." Yumi explained as both Noriko and Yoshino raised an eyebrow Yumi had just called Sachiko by her first name without any hesitation and Sachiko hadn't even seemed to notice or care.
"Dropping something huh?" Sei asked with a knowing grin. "I've never heard anyone scream like that over dropping something and what exactly were you holding that you could drop so late at night?"
Yumi paused for a second as she thought up an excuse. "A. . . I. . . I dropped a cup of water and she was afraid the glass broke." Yumi explained as she put her head down trying to hide her growing blush, it was pretty obvious to everyone who knew about their relationship that she was lying. Even Yoshino and Noriko had their suspicions, but they wouldn't question them, they didn't draw the same conclusion as Sei did.
"You were thirsty? Did you do any strenuous activity before bed?" Sei asked as Youko nudged her side with her elbow.
Sachiko's eyes went wide as she looked to Sei about to say something, unfortunately Yoshino would be the one to speak up first.
"Yea, what exactly did you and Yumi-san do last night? You weren't at dinner." Yoshino asked curiously as both Yumi and Sachiko turned their attention to her.
"W-We needed to talk about something." Sachiko tried to explain, though it was a slightly obvious excuse.
"Oh, did it involve going back to the hotel room?" Sei asked as both Yumi and Sachiko blushed deeply, they both could only think of Yumi asking that exact question the night before. Everything was starting to become hard to argue, the girls were relentless with their questions and Sachiko and Yumi were quickly running out of excuses.
"Sei, leave my Petite Soeur alone." Youko finally said stepping in.
"Why would they go back to the hotel room?" Yoshino asked as Rei covered her mouth in a hurry.
"Am I missing something?" Noriko asked joining in the conversation.
"Enough!" Sachiko finally said stopping all the growing commotion at the table. Nobody dared say a word, they knew Sachiko was becoming upset and the tone of her voice was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
Once everyone was quiet Sachiko looked to Yumi. "Yumi, would you like to tell them or me?" Sachiko asked as Yumi's eyes went wide. Sachiko immediately realized Yumi was thinking she planned on telling them what they did last night, but was thankful when Sachiko whispered in her ear. "Remember what you told me last night. I am right here, if you want me to tell Yoshino and Noriko I'm fine with that, but I think this is a good time."
Yumi nodded in agreement. "I want too." She finally said as Sachiko took her hand in her own under the table. It was only when she got a reassuring hand squeeze that she finally found her voice and was able to speak. "The truth is, last night Sachiko and I were on a date." Yumi admitted looking from Noriko to Yoshino.
"Where did you meet them? I guess that would explain why you two were always away from the group." Yoshino said as Yumi blushed slightly.
"Yoshino-san, we didn't meet anyone here. . ." Yumi said before taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. "I was on a date with Sachiko. . . She is my girlfriend." Yumi went on to explain as Yoshino and Noriko both looked at them dumbfounded.
"G-Girlfriend?" Noriko asked a moment later breaking the silence that had fallen over the table.
"Yes, Yumi is my girlfriend." Sachiko answered looking over to Noriko.
"Prove it. Kiss her Sachiko-sama." Yoshino said in a disbelieving tone.
"Yoshino, you can't just ask something like that." Rei said turning her attention to her.
"Rei, it's fine." Sachiko said as she looked from Rei to Yumi. She could feel her heart beat quickly, it was odd knowing that everyone was watching them, but Sachiko and Yumi had both told one another they would do anything for the other. "It's just a kiss with my girlfriend after all."
Yumi looked into Sachiko's eyes as her face came closer, she knew Sachiko was serious about this and so was she.
Everyone looked in shock as Sachiko and Yumi's lips finally touched, they could see the slight blushes on their faces, but that didn't stop the kiss from taking place.
"Alright, your girlfriend's, I get it." Yoshino said a minute later as Sachiko and Yumi finally broke the kiss. Admittedly they had forgotten where they were momentarily.
Yumi put her head down as she tried to hide her shy smile from the rest of the Yamayurikai. Sachiko just simply avoided making eye contact with anyone for a moment.
"Wow." Noriko finally said breaking the silence. "So you are actually a couple?"
Yumi swallowed her embarrassment as she looked up to Noriko and nodded. "Yes, Sachiko is my girlfriend and I don't mean a friend that happens to be a girl." Yumi explained as Sei chuckled.
"I think we got that part when you kissed her Yumi-chan." Sei joked as Youko gave her a warning look.
"Wait, when did you become a couple, because I specifically remember Yumi saying she thought you were trying to take your rosary back. She was practically in tears." Yoshino said as Sachiko turned her attention towards her.
"It was the very same day she thought I wanted my rosary returned. It was quite the opposite though, I had called her to the greenhouse to confess my feelings to her." Sachiko explained suddenly feeling a little embarrassed herself.
"So does that mean you two are. . . L-lesbians. . .?" Yoshino asked somewhat cautiously.
"Yoshino! Where are your manners?" Rei asked a little surprised.
Yumi took a deep breath as she turned to Yoshino. "Well, I am in a relationship with Sachiko." Yumi said as Yoshino raised an eyebrow.
"It could just be a phase you two are going through though." Yoshino said as Rei smacked her a little on the back of the head.
"Yoshino, that is enough." Rei said a bit irritated this time, though everyone was surprised at how rude Yoshino was being.
"Yoshino-chan. I assure you this is not a phase. I love Yumi with all of my heart." Sachiko said with finality.
"What about you Yumi-sama?" Noriko asked curiously.
Yumi smiled with a slight nod. "It's most certainly not a phase, I love Sachiko very much and after last night I've only fallen in love with her even more."
"Speaking of things that occurred last night." Sei said with that same knowing smile from earlier. "You are sure you had no other reason to scream your girlfriend's name?"
"Sei, just drop it." Youko said trying to help Sachiko and Yumi though admittedly she was quite curious herself.
"No other reason, I assure you." Sachiko replied trying to keep a straight face, which her girlfriend was struggling with.
"Alright, I'm just saying. That scream sounded more pleasurable than shocked." Sei continued as Yumi's face turned bright red and she put her head down. Sei could only smile bright, she knew she would get a reaction from that and Yumi had fallen for her little trap. "Yumi, what's wrong? You seem awfully embarrassed about something. . ." Sei said playing stupid.
"I-It's nothing." Yumi replied as she tried to regain her composure which wasn't working in the slightest.
"Could it be that I've stumbled upon the truth?" Sei asked as Yumi's heart skipped a beat, she knew Sei was putting her on the spot.
"Onee-sama, that wasn't why...was it?" Touko asked now curious, Sei had been right, that scream definitely did not sound like a shocked scream, which were usually quick short ones. This scream had been longer and faded out.
Yumi took a deep breath as she looked from Sei to Touko-chan. "N-no, it wasn't because of that. We never did anything." Yumi said as calmly as she could, which wasn't easy considering her heart was beating so fast.
Sachiko smiled, she knew Sei would not leave Yumi alone until she got an answer and she decided she would leave it up to Yumi to tell them or not. "Will you leave her be now, Sei-sama? We have both told you now that nothing happened last night." Sachiko said as Sei put her hands up in surrender.
"Fine, keep lying to us all, see if I care." Sei replied a bit sarcastically. She was surprised Youko hadn't stopped her, but when she saw the look on Youko's face she instantly knew that Youko wasn't believing Sachiko and Yumi's story either. In fact none of them were, except Touko-chan, though none would admit it due to the fact that they were slightly scared of Sachiko.
"So, who is riding in what car?" Shimako asked trying to change the subject.
"I think the way we came here will be fine." Youko replied turning her attention to Shimako.
"That's not fair, I want to ride with Onee-sama and Sachiko-sama." Touko pouted as Youko thought about the others, mainly Sei and Yoshino going after her for answers about Yumi and Sachiko.
"On second thought, I think we can make that work. Touko-chan will ride with us." Youko said as Sei sighed, Youko had caught on to her plan.
"So, what are we going to do today?" Rei asked a moment later.
"I was thinking we could just laze around today, perhaps watch a few movies or something." Youko replied, she really didn't have any plans for today, which was their last day there before they left.
"I think that sounds like a good idea." Sachiko added before turning towards Yumi. "We have to get our things in order though for tomorrow, so if you will excuse us." Sachiko said as she stood with Yumi from her seat.
Sei just gave the biggest knowing smile she could as Sachiko rolled her eyes at her before leaving. The blonde had a good idea as to what happened the night before and planned on taking every opportunity she could, until she had the truth. That was if Youko would let her.
-X-X-
It was hours later after breakfast and Sachiko and Yumi were laying in bed talking about school, their parents, and every once in awhile talking about what happened the night before. Today was the last day they had on the trip and they both wanted some last minute alone time with each other.
"Yumi, do you think we should tell our parents?" Sachiko asked breaking the peaceful silence between them.
Yumi lifted her head from Sachiko's shoulder, she had been snuggled close to Sachiko side under the covers. "I-I don't know. . . I mean I want to, but what if they don't approve and try to separate us?" Yumi said voicing her concerns.
Sachiko sighed as she thought about what her father would say. "I know what you mean, I just think that eventually we will have to tell them and if they don't approve, who cares? I know what I want in life right now, Yumi. I won't let my parents stop me." Sachiko said though she knew it was easier said than done.
Yumi smiled trying to cheer up the conversation. "I feel the same way, Sachiko. I love you and if they didn't approve you always have me to comfort you."
Sachiko smiled as she glanced down to Yumi, giving her a quick kiss. "I love you too, Yumi, but let's not worry about our parents right now. They don't know and I think when the time comes we should tell them together."
"You're right, when the time comes I want you to be by my side." Yumi said as the sound of a knock on the door filled the room.
Sachiko sighed as she pulled her arm out from underneath Yumi and scooted towards the edge of the bed. "I guess, our alone time has come to an end." She said looking back at Yumi who let out a small sigh.
Sachiko chuckled a little at her expression before making her way to the door and opening it. She was surprised when Youko pushed the door open and walked in somewhat forcefully. "O-Onee-sama, what's wrong?" Sachiko asked as she shut the door.
Youko let out a sigh of relief as she turned to Sachiko and bowed her head. "Sorry, I came to ask you something and Sei was trying to come with, I told her it was between me and my Petite Soeur though. I thought she would surely try and get in here with me."
Sachiko raised an eyebrow curiously. "What did you want to ask me?" Sachiko asked as Youko collected her thoughts.
"Well, I wanted to ask you and Yumi-chan really, so perhaps we should sit down and talk?" Youko said making her way over to the couch. She paused in front of the doorway when she saw Yumi laying in bed, the blanket next to her was a little wrinkled like someone had been there. "I wasn't interrupting anything was I?" Youko asked as Yumi's face turned red.
"N-no, you weren't interrupting anything at all. I mean what can two girlfriend's really do alone in bed anyways?" Yumi replied without thinking it through.
Youko looked at her speechless for a moment as Yumi's eyes went wide and the blush on her face deepened. "Well, I can think of a few things, but let's leave that for a different conversation, why don't you join Sachiko and I in here?" Youko asked trying to change the subject.
Yumi nodded before crawling out of bed and making her way into the other room where Youko and Sachiko had taken a seat. Naturally, Yumi went over and took a seat right next to Sachiko.
Youko smiled, she could tell the two had become much closer and more open about their relationship, which is what she had wanted from the start. "I came here to ask you two a question. . ." Youko started off as both Yumi and Sachiko looked at her with full attention.
"What's your question Onee-sama?" Sachiko asked after a moment's pause.
Youko took a deep breath and decided to just ask it instead of beating around the bush. "Sachiko, last night did you really scream Yumi's name for the reason you told us?" Youko asked as both Sachiko and Yumi gained a surprised look on their faces.
"You don't believe me, Onee-sama?" Sachiko asked as Youko gave her an apologetic look.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's more so that your girlfriend's face basically spelled out everything that happened last night." Youko explained as Yumi's face turned red. "Like right now, I mention last night and she immediately does that. I know something happened."
"I'm sorry, Onee-sama. It's none of your business what Yumi and I do together." Sachiko said almost a little annoyed that she would even ask that, she seemed more like Sei than the Onee-sama she had known at this particular moment.
"I know and you two really don't have to say it, I know what you did, it's just too obvious. Anyways, I didn't come here to hassle you over your dates happy ending. I came here to ask what you plan on doing when we get back home." Youko explained as Sachiko raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Yumi asked just as confused as Sachiko was.
"I mean do you plan on telling your parents? I mean if you already went that far, don't you think you should consider it?" Youko asked.
Sachiko sighed. "You are awfully concerned about my relationship with Yumi, I find that curious." Sachiko said as Youko bowed her head in apology.
"I know I've been a little pushy and intrusive on you both, but I just don't want what you have crumbling over something stupid. For instance your parents finding out without you telling them, they could possibly get mad and you might make a bad decision in fear of upsetting them more." Youko explained as Sachiko grabbed Yumi's hand in her own.
"I appreciate your concern Onee-sama, but we both already decided that we will tell them together when we are ready." Sachiko explained as Youko nodded.
"Good, I'm glad you are talking about things like this. It just makes me so happy to see my Petite Soeur happy, I really am happy for both of you, though it still is a kind of a shock to know that you two are dating." Youko admitted. "Then again I guess I'm quite surprised that you two. . . Well, you know. Last night." Youko went on to explain kind of awkwardly.
Sachiko cleared her throat after noticing the silence that was following Youko's last few words. Both Yumi and Youko looked to Sachiko and instantly noticed the blush on her face. "I think it's time we talk about something else." Sachiko finally said as Youko smiled.
"Now you're making it obvious Sachiko." Youko said before deciding to change the subject. "We are going to put in a movie, so if you want to come join us you are welcome. . . Or, you could go back to whatever it was that you two were doing in the bedroom. Your choice."
"Youko-sama!" Yumi said in embarrassment. "We weren't doing anything, I swear!"
Youko smiled at Yumi. "It's alright, Yumi-chan. She is your girlfriend after all. Besides, I only suggested it because Sachiko seemed so happy when she answered the door."
Sachiko instantly blushed as she turned her face away from Yumi a little. "I-I don't know what you're talking about. I am always happy when I'm with, Yumi." Sachiko said as Youko smiled and stood from her seat.
"I know, that is why I want to make sure nothing interferes with your relationship." Youko replied before looking over to the clock. "I should get going though it's been about fifteen minutes and Sei said she would have a surprise for me when I got back.
Sachiko let out a sigh of relief when she heard the door to their room shut. "Well, it seems Onee-sama, knows what happened here last night, Yumi."
Yumi nodded. "Yes, but I think it's alright, she wouldn't tell anyone. Besides now that conversation is over with and we can be left alone about it." Yumi said as Sachiko turned to her with a smile.
Unfortunately though their shared smile would be interrupted by a muffled scream through the wall. "Yuuumi!" The voice called out as both Sachiko and Yumi's faces turned red. They both instantly knew this voice to be none other than Sei.
"Do you think Sei-sama knows?" Yumi asked a moment after the teasing scream.
Sachiko could only nod in her embarrassment before speaking. "Yes, I think she knows. . ."
"Maybe we can stay here a little longer? I have a feeling she would just try and embarrass us if we went there now." Yumi said as Sachiko nodded in agreement.
"You're right, besides, I was enjoying laying with you." Sachiko replied as she put and arm around Yumi's shoulders and led her into the bedroom to relax again.
-X-X-
Sei opened the door and invited Sachiko and Yumi inside. The rest of the girls were already there and gathered around watching a movie when they came into the room.
"Why don't you sit here?" Sei asked as Sachiko and Yumi accepted her offer and took a seat on the small couch.
They couldn't help but notice the looks they got from the other girls when they sat down. Yumi had been pressed rather close to Sachiko and though it didn't seem odd to them, it was really the first time the rest of the girls had seen them since their official announcement. Yoshino and Noriko were mainly the ones who were staring, it was still a bit shocking to them that Sachiko and Yumi were in love, but they would try and get used to it no matter how odd it seemed.
It wasn't that they didn't accept their relationship, in fact it was quite the opposite, it was just the idea that they were actually a couple was hard to wrap their heads around.
"So what were you two doing? It took you quite long to come over here after Youko came back." Sei said with a grin as she took a seat next to her girlfriend.
"That is none of your business, Sei-sama." Sachiko said as Sei's grin grew bigger.
"I guess hearing Yumi's name made you want to relive some memories?" Sei asked teasingly as Youko covered her mouth, Sei was sitting on the floor between her legs.
"Sei, leave them alone, we are here to watch a movie." Youko said as Yoshino raised an eyebrow, she couldn't help but notice how comfortable Sei and Youko were with each other.
"Thank you, Onee-sama." Sachiko said as she gave a somewhat cold look to everyone else who was staring. They all instantly turned there attention away from Yumi and her, all aside from Rei who just gave a playful smile to Sachiko, which she could only blush at slightly.
-x-
Sachiko and Yumi had been receiving looks from the girls throughout the rest of the night as they sat with one another on the couch. The stares, especially from Yoshino kept becoming more frequent the closer Yumi and Sachiko cuddled together. No one dared say anything though, because ever since Sei left them alone Sachiko had seemed happy and her mood only seemed to be improving as Yumi snuggled closer to her.
Sei couldn't help but notice this either and decided to have a little fun with it. "Let's watch this one." Sei said grabbing a horror movie. "We have to shut all the lights off though, it adds to the effect." She added instantly noticing that Yumi now had Sachiko's arm around her shoulder.
Sachiko knew Yumi wasn't the biggest fan of horror movies and admittedly she wasn't either, but it was the perfect opportunity for them to be close.
"I still can't believe it." Yoshino blurted, just saying what was on her mind, which caught everyone's attention.
"Believe what?" Yumi asked as Yoshino raised an eyebrow at her.
"That Sachiko-sama is actually your girlfriend. Does anyone else know about this?" Yoshino asked as Yumi took a deep breath.
"Only the people in this room know right now." Yumi admitted.
"It's not as easy as you think to tell others." Sachiko added as Yoshino nodded her head, she could only imagine having a secret like that.
"Well, we got them to admit they were together now if only they would fess up to what they did last night." Sei said as she played around with the dvd player.
"Sei, it's none of our business. I told you what Sachiko and Yumi do together is between them." Youko said yet again as Sachiko just simply ignored Sei.
"I know, but I just love to know other girls secrets." Sei explained as she turned to Yumi with a serious look. "So one last time, Yumi-chan. Show me where Sachiko touched you." Sei said as Yumi's face instantly turned red. "I think that means everywhere." Sei said a moment later as Sachiko pulled Yumi closer to her to hide her face.
"Sei-sama, leave her alone." Sachiko said as Sei sighed.
"Looks like your princess in ice cold armor has come to save you once again, Yumi-chan." Sei pouted as she turned back and pressed the play button.
Yumi hugged Sachiko tightly as she replied to Sei. "I don't know about ice cold armor, but I like the rest." Yumi admitted causing Sachiko to blush.
The room died down as the movie continued playing and Sachiko and Yumi enjoyed being in each others arms, especially when something scary would happen. Sachiko would comfort Yumi as much as possible which she was enjoying because she had Yumi with her the whole time. The rest of the girls had noticed, but only smiled in response. It truly was amazing to see Sachiko being like this, it was very apparent that the two were serious about one another. They were in love and there friends could see it.
-x-
It was about halfway through the movie and Sei couldn't help but steal glances at Sachiko and Yumi who were as close as can be. Yumi was leaning against Sachiko and Sachiko was resting her head on Yumi's. The two looked inseparable and Sei could only wonder what was going on under the blanket they now shared.
Sei could tell the two were barley paying attention to the movie. Yumi was too relaxed and Sachiko seemed to be more interested in Yumi than the movie. Sei took a deep breath before feeling a hand on her shoulder.
"Sei, leave them alone." Youko whispered just loud enough for her blonde girlfriend to hear.
"But. . ."
"But, nothing Sei. Let them enjoy this, it probably won't be easy for them to be together like this when they are back home." Youko explained as Sei glanced over at Sachiko and Yumi once more.
Youko could tell the blonde was still thinking about saying something. "If you behave, perhaps I will have a surprise for you later." Youko said as Sei looked up at her curiously. Youko could only smile. "It will be memorable I promise."
"Fine, but if they start making out I'm saying something." Sei replied as she looked back at Yumi with a grin.
"I don't think they would do that." Youko said as Sei thought about what happened in the changing room at the pool.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. . ." Sei replied, though Youko didn't hear it.
Youko would prove to be right though, nothing had happened between Sachiko and Yumi except for the brunette falling asleep halfway through the movie which had now come to an end.
Yoshino yawned as she stretched her arms above her head, it was getting late and all of them were getting tired, especially since they planned on leaving earlier in the morning the next day. "I think I'm going to go to bed." Yoshino said as she stood to her feet with Rei and Touko following.
Sachiko and Yumi were the last remaining two girls to leave and right as Sachiko was about to wake Yumi she heard something which brought a smile to her face.
"Sachiko. . ." Yumi whispered in her sleep as Youko smiled, thankfully Sei had been in the bathroom and wouldn't disrupt this.
"So you aren't the only one that dreams about your girlfriend." Youko said referring to the dreams Sachiko had told her about.
"Well, I hope I'm not ruining the best part." Sachiko said as she placed her lips on Yumi's forehead, gently waking the sleeping girl.
Yumi blinked a few times before looking up to Sachiko and smiling. "Is it time to go?" She asked as Sachiko nodded.
"Yes, I think it's time we went to bed, Yumi." Sachiko replied as she stood from the couch and helped Yumi to her feet.
"I'll see you two tomorrow morning, get some rest." Youko said as Sachiko and Yumi bowed their heads slightly before heading towards the door.
Once back in their own room Sachiko joined Yumi who was barley conscious in bed. "Yumi, I hope you had fun on this trip. I really am going to miss being able to do this with you." Sachiko said as Yumi smiled, she was still awake enough to respond to that.
"It was the best trip ever." Yumi said sleepily as she scooted closer to Sachiko and kissed her cheek before resting her head on the pillow next to her. "I love you, Sachiko."
Sachiko smiled. "I love you too, Yumi. Now let's get some sleep."
-X-X-
The morning had come and the girls were packed up and just doing one final check in their rooms to make sure they didn't forget anything.
"Are you ready, Yumi?" Sachiko asked as Yumi stood in the doorway to their shared bedroom.
Yumi thought about everything that had happened that week before turning away from the bed. So much had happened there this week and this bed had become a place where Yumi could be alone with Sachiko. A place that no one would bother her or Sachiko. "Yes, I'm ready." Yumi finally said before glancing back at the bed one last time. Even though it was just a bed in a hotel room they shared for a week, she felt it was important to her relationship with Sachiko in a way and was a bit sad to be leaving the room.
Sachiko and Yumi made their way down to the car where everyone else was waiting for them. They would be riding with Youko again just like before, but this time Touko would be with them.
"Get one last use out of the bedroom?" Sei asked as Sachiko gave her a cold look.
"No, we had a phone call to make was all." Sachiko replied as Sei raised an eyebrow curiously. Sachiko had already gotten into the car with Yumi though and any further questioning from the blonde would have to wait.
The trip back was quite peaceful especially for Sachiko who had fallen asleep on Yumi's shoulder.
"Onee-sama, did you have fun on this trip?" Touko asked from the front seat.
Yumi was silent for a moment as she as smiled at her sleeping girlfriend and gave her hand a slight squeeze. "Yes, we had a lot of fun." Yumi answered as Touko raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"We?" She asked before realizing Yumi was speaking for her and Sachiko.
"Yes, we both enjoyed it." Yumi replied as Youko spoke up.
"It seems you both became a lot closer than when we first arrived." Youko said as Yumi thought about everything they did over the past week.
"Onee-sama. . . I know it's none of my business but what we were talking about yesterday morning at the table was just a rumor right?" Touko asked. Admittedly the question had been on her mind since she heard Sachiko's muffled scream through the wall.
Yumi blushed as she thought about what to say, which Touko could only smile at, she had her answer as soon as Yumi's face turned red. "You don't have to answer that Onee-sama, it was rude of me to ask."
Yumi swallowed as she felt a wave of relief over her. She knew she didn't have an answer. "Thank you, Touko-chan." Yumi replied as Youko gave her a knowing smile in the rear view mirror.
"I guess it's back to normal now, huh?" Touko asked as Youko glanced over to her.
"Yep, the only difference is that the Yamayurikai now has a secret to protect about two of the roses." Youko replied as Yumi smiled shyly.
"I'm sure it will be fine. I am a little worried though. You two can't seem to keep your hands to yourself when around one another lately." Touko said as she turned and gave Yumi a wink.
"That's not true!" Yumi argued before realizing that Sachiko was asleep on her shoulder and she had been holding her hands in her own. "W-Well, maybe there is a little truth to it."
Touko and Youko could only chuckle in response as Yumi looked to Sachiko who was still asleep on her shoulder. "Youko-sama, how do you and Sei manage?" Yumi asked as Touko raised an eyebrow curiously.
"You and Sei?" Touko asked looking to Youko who just sighed after a moment of silence.
"Yes, Touko-chan, Sei is my girlfriend." Youko explained as Touko blinked a few times as the information registered in her head. "To answer your question Yumi-chan, we spend almost all of our free time together. Once we can both afford it we want to move in with one another."
Yumi thought about the idea of moving Youko and Sei moving it, she was sure they would share the same bed and it didn't take long for her to start thinking about moving in with Sachiko. She could only imagine what it would be like living with her, seeing her everyday, sharing the same bed every night. The thought was enough to bring a smile to her face, but she would have to dismiss it, they were still in school and she knew her parents should know before they even started to think about something like that.
Touko sighed as Yumi snapped out of her thoughts and noticed Sachiko's house coming into view. "I guess it's really over now. . ." Touko said as she turned back to Sachiko and Yumi. "You should probably wake her up, unless you wanted to carry her in."
Yumi blushed a little. "Well, I don't know if I could, she is taller than me." Yumi said as the car came to a stop.
"I'll get your stuff out of the trunk." Youko said as she opened her car door and stepped out. "Touko-chan why don't you come and help me?"
"Y-yes, be right there." Touko said as she climbed out of the car leaving Sachiko and Yumi alone.
Yumi didn't waste anytime, once the other two were gone she turned to Sachiko and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Sachiko, it's time to wake up. We are here." Yumi said softly as her girlfriend stirred in her sleep.
Sachiko lifted her head and rubbed her eyes before yawning. "Yumi, how long was I asleep?" Sachiko asked.
"Most of the trip, but I didn't mind." Yumi admitted with a smile.
"Alright Sachiko, here is your stuff." Youko said as she poked her head into the car.
"Where is Yumi's?" Sachiko asked as Youko raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Still in the trunk, why?"
Yumi smiled as she opened her car door. "I forgot to mention. I am staying the night, my mother said I could."
"Does your mother know you will be sleeping in the same bed as your girlfriend?" Youko asked followed by a big grin.
Yumi just blushed in response as Youko laughed. "It's alright, Yumi-chan. Your secret is safe with me, I just wanted to see your reaction." Youko admitted as she opened the trunk once again for Yumi. "Now you two have fun. I would just keep the screaming down to a minimum. You have to remember where you are, unless you want your parents finding out. I think that could be troublesome though, just call it a hunch." Youko said with a smile, she could only imagine what Sachiko's parents would think if they found out like that.
Both Sachiko and Yumi were red in the face by the time she was done talking. "T-Thank you Onee-sama. I don't think we have to worry about that though." Sachiko replied as she took Yumi's hand. "Why don't we go inside, Yumi. You have to be hungry after that long trip." Sachiko said as Yumi nodded through her embarrassment.
Youko shut the trunk as she watched the two enter Sachiko's house together. She could only smile as she thought about their future together. She was very happy for her Petite Soeur and she could feel that the love Yumi and Sachiko shared would only grow.
"Youko-sama, we should get going, it's getting late." Touko said as Youko snapped out of her thoughts.
"You're right, we all have school in the morning."
A/N: Alright, so I want to start out by saying that this chapter felt a little boring to me personally. Nothing really happened and I didn't have much going on in my head which I think is evident because some parts feel a little desperate to move on. Anyway, it had to be done. This chapter is out of the way and I assure you the next chapter I have some stuff to go with and if your wondering about Yoshino and Noriko who didn't react much. They are not over with. Yes I realize Yoshino was quite rude this chapter, but again I was trying to get it moving and she seemed like a good way to do it.
Anyways! That being said I really just wanted this to be kinda one last chance for the rest of the girls to realize that Sachiko and Yumi are serious about this and becoming more open with their relationship. Which will be good because in the next chapter! :D I will hopefully have it out soon enough, thanks for reading this and reviewing I actually have some stuff to cover next chapter so it should be much better than this one was I hope. On a side note It Started In Her Dreams doesn't have too much longer left! :) :( :) :(.. Not sure how many chapters at this point but chapter 16 is getting to the last issue in the story before it comes to an end. Anyways, rambling gonna go, I got 2 short stories coming up quick along with chapter 16, sooo yea, I'll cya in chapter 16 or PM's or w/e! :D
