Chapter 4
Nightmares
A/N: This is based off of "Hidden Truths" the first chapter. I enjoyed that a lot, so I thought I might go and use that as an inspiration for this one. Enjoy~!
Kanade is walking in the halls one morning when all of the students are staring at her. Why? Did she do something wrong? As she keeps on walking, all eyes were still on her until one person steps up in front of her. And she seems very familiar.
"Yuripee?" The artist looks at her classmate confused. "What are you doing here?"
"Is it true about what you said?" Yuriko asks while putting a hand on her hip.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Don't play with me!" Yuriko shouts as she stomps right in front of the artist. "You love your sister like she's your own girlfriend. And you didn't tell her because why?"
"I . . . I thought she might . . . reject me," Kanade answers truthfully. "I do love her very much. We've done so much and-"
"Freak!" one girl shouts as she pelts Kanade with a crumpled piece of paper. "How could you love your sister that way!?"
"They have the same blood!" another girl says.
"Who loves their own sibling!?"
"It's disgusting and gross!"
"I wouldn't want to be her!"
One by one, Kanade hears horrible things from the girls as she turns towards her sister, the one she loved the most. She is hugging herself as she slightly turns her head towards her younger twin. Her expression is cold and a bit angry, which Kanade did not want to see.
"Y-Yuki-chan," she stutters as she tries to approach her older sister. "Please, let me explain."
"You don't have to," Yuriko says as she puts an arm around Yukino. "She can find another lover other than you!"
Kanade gasps as she sinks to the floor on her knees. She had never, ever heard Yuriko talk like that before, nor she had known about them being a couple. Heavy tears already start to fall freely as she reaches her hand out to her older twin.
"Yuki-chan!" she calls. "YUKI-CHAAAAANNN!"
As soon as the two are out of sight, a crowd of girls gain up on the younger twin, pelting her with crumpled pieces of paper, and school materials, plus some beatings from school bags. Kanade helplessly tries to defend herself, but fails miserably from the awful beating from the school bags.
"Stop it!" Kanade wails. "Please stop it! STOP IT!"
**Present, Late That Night**
Yukino's eyes flash open as she feels her sister trembling and having tears fall from her eyes, muttering "Stop it! Please forgive me, Yuki-chan! I'm sorry! I love you!" The tan-haired girl knew right away that Kanade is having a nightmare. She scoots closer and gently takes her hand, which makes the artist stop for a second and open her eyes.
"Y-Yuki-chan?" The younger twin gasps as she sits up.
"Kana-chan," Yukino whispers, sitting up as well while caressing her cheek. "You were having a nightmare. Is everything alright?"
A new batch of tears fall from Kanade's eyes and all she could do is jump into her arms and sobs loudly. The nightmare was so painful that she needed to get out of there. Yukino puts on a comforting smile as she gently strokes her hair to try to calm her down. Whatever Kanade was dreaming, Yukino knew it was bad and was glad that she woke her up in time before it got worse.
Finally, after about 15 minutes, Kanade pulls away for a bit while arms are still wrapped around her by Yukino and feels lips touch her forehead.
"Can you tell me what the nightmare was about?" The older twin whispers.
Kanade sniffles as she presses her head against Yukino's. "I . . . I was getting bullied because they found out about me loving you more than a sister. And Yuripee chewed me out, saying that you should find another lover other than me. I was scared, Yuki-chan. And . . . and after that happened, all the girls began beating me up, calling me all sorts of names while I tried to protect myself." One tear falls from her right eye. "Do you think . . . loving each other like this is wrong, even though we're siblings?"
Yukino shakes her head as she takes both of Kanade's cheeks. "No! It's not wrong! You love me and I love you! Siblings can love each other and we are proof of that! If people got a problem with us like this, then I'll rub it in their faces! No one in the world should ever judge our relationship just because we're siblings who are also girlfriends!"
"Yuki-chan . . ." Kanade couldn't believe what she's hearing from her older twin.
A small smile is then plastered on Yukino's face as she gently kisses her on the forehead once again. "I love you, Kana-chan. Don't you ever forget that. I'm staying right here with you, just like I promised you when we were about to leave middle school. Nothing's going to change."
Kanade wipes the last of her tears and finally smiles at her lover. "You're right. Thank you, Yuki-chan. I feel much better now."
Yukino giggles as she leans in to give her a quick kiss on the lips before hugging me gently. "I love you," she whispers. "And I'm not going anywhere."
"I love you, too, Yuki-chan."
With that, the twins finally go back to sleep and Kanade no longer has any more nightmares. Just a sweet, wonderfu dream about the two of them having a picnic together.
A/N: I decided to add Yuripee in there just because I felt like it. And she may be a little OOC, considering the nightmare Kanade had, so forgive me. Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~! ;)
