"Y-Yumi?" I stuttered out still stunned at what I heard.
"Onee-sama! It's not what it seems… let me explain."
"I knew it…" I found myself looking at the ground trying to control myself. "Rei, Yoshino, would you mind leaving us" I said and they both nodded and left quietly. I knew I should've expected it, but there was still the doubt. And now I know the truth.
"Why…" I started to say. "Why didn't you tell me it was you?"
"Onee-sama, I—"
"If you knew it was me then why did you hide?!" My voice was getting louder, I tried my best to control my emotions. I sighed sadly.
"Was it all just a joke then, Yumi? Everything you said to me… every word you sent me… was it all just some plot to let me reveal my secrets to you? Were you just playing with my emotion, Yumi?" I felt tears falling down my cheek; I was crying.
"And the way you acted when you got back to school… was it also an elaborate joke to poke some fun at me? Do you even realize how that made me feel, Yumi? I… I thought I had a chance… a chance that you actually felt the way I did with you, but now to find out it's just some lie I—"
"IT WASN'T A LIE!" Yumi shouted cutting me off.
"I would never lie to you, Onee-sama"
"Then why? Why didn't you tell me?" my voice was starting to betray me.
"I was scared, Onee-sama, to the brink of getting myself sick with worry. I was scared because I didn't know what to tell you. I was thankful that I got sick, because it meant I didn't have to face you just yet, not until I know for sure you wouldn't hate me when you found out" she was crying.
"Yumi…" I whispered. She wiped away her tears and smiled slightly at me.
"But when I saw you barge into my room, with so much worry evident in your eyes. I thought I had a small chance that you'd feel the same as I. I knew I had to tell you; not in person, but as Imouto-chan" She chuckled slightly trying not to cry.
"But I never saw you online for the entire weekend. I was kidding myself if I thought that you would come back there. So I tried dropping hints, but you never saw; and so I thought 'That's it, I don't have a chance'" she was crying again and I felt myself shed some tears as well.
"But when I saw your name on that screen, there was a faint glimmer of hope. It was my chance to tell you. But fear set in again, so I just tried letting you find out for yourself. I told you I was sick and that my Onee-sama took care of me, which were both true… but you still didn't catch on. And finally I thought if I couldn't tell her as Yumi, then why not as Imouto-chan? I just wanted to say those words to you even if it is just once. And after that I'd go back to just being your little sister, the only thing I can b—"
"YOU'RE WRONG!" it was my turn to cut her off.
"I didn't want you to be just my sister, Yumi, I wanted more… I knew it was wrong, but it felt right to me. I couldn't tell you because I was scared too, Yumi" I approach her and hold her hand.
"I've been in love with you since that day in the greenhouse, and I'll admit I tried to deny it, but only because I was scared for you. How other people will see you and view you, I didn't want you to be ostracized because of my selfishness. I'm so sorry, Yumi, I now realize that, that decision made me blind of the signs you showed me and because of that you suffered." I hugged her tight.
"Onee-sama, I would never be scared of anything as long as I was with you, I would take them all head on if you were holding my hand"
"I could never hate you, Yumi, never in a million years will I come to hate you. So please never think otherwise" I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"But I don't get it… how DID you know it was me" I asked curiously.
"At first I really didn't know it was you, I thought I was actually talking to some stranger" she said and giggled.
"So when you admitted that you were in love with your Onee-sama you didn't think it would be me, but a total stranger?" she nodded. I felt a bit of happiness into this.
"I told you before didn't I? I'd scream it to the world… If you'd let me" she smiled shyly.
"Well before you let the whole world hear it why not let me hear it first?" I teased her a bit. Her face was flushed as I was still holding her in my arms, she looked down really embarrassed. I put my hand under her chin to make her look up at me.
"Please let me hear those words from you again… not as Imouto-chan, but as you, Yumi, the person I hold dear" I said while gazing into her eyes.
"I… I… L-Love you, Onee-sama" she said shyly my heart jumped for joy and I hugged her tight.
"Again…" I whispered into her ear.
"I love you, Onee-sama" she whispered lovingly into my ear.
"Again… One last time" I whispered into her ear again. My voice was starting to crack as I felt myself overcome with happiness. She pulled away from me slightly and put her hands on both sides of my face making me look at her.
"I love you, Onee-sama, now and forever I will always love you" she said her voice full of passion and love. I leaned in and so did she, and I captured her lips in mine. The feeling was overwhelming, my heart was beating so fast that I thought it would burst out of my chest. I pulled away slightly to look at her in the eyes, I'm finally going to say it after so long.
"I love you too… my Yumi" I whisper, our lips connected again and so did our hearts.
=0 later that night 0=
Blonde Rose: Ah… Sachiko, I see you're back again…
: Here to meet your online girlfriend ;)
Ice Princess: Sei, must you always say that when I get here?
Blonde Rose: c'mon, Sachiko, we both know it's true
Ice Princess: it is most certainly not true
: Because…
*DING!*
I smile as I see her name flashing on my screen.
Imouto-chan: Gokigenyou…
: Ice Princess :)
Ice Princess: Gokigenyou, Imouto-chan
*DING!*
Blonde Rose: because what, Sachiko?
I chuckled. That's right Yumi is nowhere near to just being an online girlfriend, she's real... this… what we have… is real
Ice Princess: It's…
: A secret :)
Blonde Rose: come on, Sachiko, tell me!
: I want to know!
: Don't ignore me!
I chuckle again.
"Sorry, Sei, but we're keeping it our own little… online secret" I whisper.
Imouto-chan: I love you, Onee-sama
Ice Princess: I love you too, my Imouto-chan

Kairin: I'm finished at last
Yumi: Nice job, Kairin-chan
Kairin: ehehe *scratching my head*
Yumi: Sachiko, what are you reading?
Sachiko: oh this *holding up a small green notebook* I found it on Kairin's table I think it's a draft for a new story
Yumi: Don't Hurt Her… hmm… kind of a weird title
Kairin: hey don't touch that! *snatches back the notebook* why do you keep touching my stuff?
Sachiko: it was laying around
Kairin: it was in my drawer…
Sachiko: anyway what's up with that story there's like no character name yet
Kairin: it's a work in progress… I haven't picked the characters to use yet
Sachiko: well it looked pretty good to me, just make sure you finish it all first before posting it
Kairin: yeah I will… I have to decide on the characters first you know, my friend said I use too common pairs
Sachiko: that's going to be hard… I thought you could only use the pairs you've grown accustomed to?
Kairin: that's right… which is why I'm in a dilemma. I mean the lead would be perfect for Yumi for… certain reasons but it could also fit Ritsu
Yumi: what's this "certain reasons" Kairin-chan?
Kairin: Ara, it's a surprise… well time to go now still helping my friend out with her story
=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0
A.N.: so there you have it folks OS is finally finished sorry if it isn't up to par with the other good stories here, maybe I'm not cut out to be a writer. But nevertheless I feel proud of my work. Oh yeah as you can see I'm thinking of writing another fic but I can't decide on the characters… maybe you guys could help me out should I use Sachiko/Yumi again or Ritsu/Mio? I can only use pairs I'm really familiar with, but I am getting quite familiar with Shizuru/Natsuki so maybe I'll write a ShizNat fic one day. So yeah that's about it. BYE! FOR NOW!
