"Yumi." Sachiko breathed inwardly when she saw the younger woman outside the window of her car. Collecting herself, Sachiko exited the car to approach the woman that made her heart beats a bit faster than normal.
"Sachiko-sama." Yumi said surprised by the sudden appearance of the older woman.
"It's been a while." Sachiko said smiling tenderly at the woman in front of her. "Welcome back Yumi."
"Sachiko-sama." Yumi's heart skipped a beat.
"What is Sachiko-sama doing here? Doesn't she and Suguru have a business to attend to? Yumi asked herself confused, anxiety building up in her body.
Then finally the man she most dreading to see exited the car. Yumi's eyes twitch at the sight of the man.
"Hello Yumi-chan." Suguru said smiling at the woman.
"Hello Suguru-san." Yumi said with a fake smile. She had come to dislike the man after that solemn night.
Suguru seeing Yumi's fake smile smirked, "I see." He thought laughing inwardly.
Yumi noticed him smirked, not wanting to deal with the older man, Yumi immediately turned her attention back to Sachiko, who is now eyeing her pensively.
"Sachiko-sama are you alright? You look kinda off." Yumi asked worriedly.
Sachiko hearing Yumi's voice after a long time let out a smile. "I'm fine Yumi."
Yumi looked at Sachiko again before shrugging. "If you say so."
"So… Sachiko-sama what are you and Suguru-kun doing here?" Yumi asked curiously, "I thought you two have a business to attend to."
"We do, but the business meeting ended earlier than we had expected, so we decided to come here instead of heading home." Sachiko stated coolly.
"I see." Yumi nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yumi…aren't you happy to see m…us?" Sachiko asked almost sadly. "What are you thinking?" Sachiko mentally slapped herself for almost saying me.
Yumi seeing Sachiko's sad expression pulled a string in her heart. If it wasn't for their friends watching them, Yumi would've run to hug the older woman to comfort and soothe her.
"Of course I am Sachiko-sama." She said reassuringly, causing the older woman's face to light up with delight.
"I missed you Yumi." Sachiko said tenderly walking closer to give the younger woman a hug.
Yumi returned the hug gently and whispered, "I missed you to Sachiko-sama.", tears forming in her brown eyes.
The Yamayurikai along with Yukki and Suguru watched the two women intently, while, Sam on the other hand eyed the two woman ferociously, her jealousy building up in a dangerous level.
"Hugging Yumi feels so….right." Sachiko thought. "I missed her so much."
Yumi and Sachiko stayed in that position for about 10 minutes, neither wanting to let go of the other.
….Badump…
"I missed this so much…I missed her smile…I missed her feel…I missed her scent."
Yumi thought feeling contented in Sachiko's arm.
"I wonder how her lips will..", Yumi's reverie was easily cut off when she suddenly felt a strong arm effortlessly snatched her away from Sachiko. "Sam."
By now Sam couldn't contain her jealousy anymore and finally snapped.
She forcibly descended her lips against Yumi's lips. One thing led to another, and before Yumi could grasp what was happening she was already kissing Sam back with the same intensity as the other woman has. The kiss started coarsely before turning to a fervently one. Sam broke the kiss and hugged Yumi in the waist possessively.
"I'm Sam." She introduced herself to the now speechless Sachiko. "Yumi's lover." She stated with a firm tone large grin plastered in her lips.
At the mention of the word lover, Sachiko's heart constrict, her world turning black.
"Did she just say Yumi's lover?" Sachiko asked herself, refusing to believe what she's hearing.
"Yumi's lover?" Sachiko asked again, wanting to reassure herself if she heard the woman correctly.
"Yes, Yumi's l-o-v-e-r." Sam said spelling the word lover to Sachiko, a smug look on her face.
As soon as Sam said the word YES, Sachiko's felt a huge lump in her throat. Every breath she take, feels as if a knife is being plunged into her chest over and over again. Too much emotion surging in her body making her heart felt as if it's going to burst. Her heart felt as if it's being torn into pieces. Her stomach felt as if it was tied in knots making her want to throw up. Her heart aching so bad she felt she's going to die right in that very spot where she's standing.
The younger Yamayurikai members along with Yukki gape at Sam's boldness. Yukki never thought of Sam being this possessive and he never considered that he will see this side of her now.
Suguru, Eriko, Sei and Youko on the other hand watched the three with much interest, fire visible in their eyes.
"Jealousy sure is a scary thing." Youko thought amused.
Yumi regaining her composure back looked at Sam who is grinning to Sachiko who is now motionless. Seeing Sachiko in this state Yumi couldn't help the cold sweat that make its way along her neck.
"Oh great, just what I needed." Yumi sighed sarcastically. She was about to say something when Sachiko suddenly spoke.
"I'm Sachiko Ogasawara." She surprisingly stated with a calm voice. "Yumi's…friend." cold aura surrounding her giving chills to the people watching them.
"Nice to meet you Sam." She said smile making its way in her beautiful face.
As soon as she said the woman's name Sachiko's once sparkling eyes full of determination turned into a cold, lifeless one, her warm smile turning into an impassive one.
Yumi shivered at the sight. She knows Sachiko really well, since they were souers and she had never seen Sachiko this intimidating and detached before. Her heart tightens knowing full well that she was the source of Sachiko's sudden change of attitude.
Sachiko then grabbed Suguru's hand almost forcefully, "And this is Suguru, Kashiwagi Suguru my husband." Sachiko said sincerely giving the man a chaste peck on the lips her eyes not living Sam's.
Suguru was startled by Sachiko's action. He knows how much Sachiko hated calling him her husband, and now she even introduced her to them-genuinely.. and with a kiss on top of that.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Suguru thought sighing she knew how much Sachiko hated the idea of losing.
Seeing Sachiko leaning in to give Suguru a quick peck ignites fire of jealousy in her heart.
… badump …
"I shouldn't be feeling like this."
… badump …
"They're a married couple so it's only natural for them to kiss."
… badump …
"I love Sam."
… badump …
"I love Sam." Yumi reassured herself, calming her now aching heart.
Sachiko looked at Yumi, with her ocean blue eyes that are now filled with nothingness.
"I should've known." Sachiko thought with a small laugh, pushing away the tears threatening to escape her eyes. "Yumi was never mine to begin with."
Not feeling anything, she pulled Suguru for another kiss, a much longer kiss this time.
Suguru feeling bad for Sachiko couldn't help but to respond to the kiss. He knew how much Sachiko needed him now more than ever. He doesn't want to embarrass her by pushing her away; they were "technically married" anyways.
At the sight of Sachiko kissing Suguru, Youko and the others was beyond shock. They all know how much Sachiko despised the idea of Suguru being her husband and yet she's kissing him now…and in front of Yumi.
"I'm sorry." Youko couldn't help but to feel sad for Sachiko. She loves Sachiko and she considered her as her own little sister. She knows how much Sachiko is hurting inside for she felt the same way before with Shiori and Sei being together. "I have to comfort to her after this, she needed me now more than ever."
Sachiko broke the kiss when suddenly a picture of her and Yumi kissing suddenly popped in her mind.
Gaining her senses back she couldn't help but to feel miserable. "What am I doing" she thought to herself. She then whispered to Suguru's ear, "I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to, I don't know what's gotten over me."
Suguru then hugged her softly, "It's alright, and besides I'm still your husband if you forget, you have all the right to kiss me" he said humorously trying to ease Sachiko's pain. Upon hearing the word "supposedly", Sachiko couldn't help but to giggle.
"Yeah, married." She whispered.
Yumi witnessing the kiss and hearing Sachiko giggle couldn't help but to feel sad.
"It hurts…I know I loved her…but that was a long time ago…I love Sam now, so why does it feel as if someone just stab me directly in the heart." Yumi thought in verge of crying. She then turned around and gives Sam a quick peck in the lips. "I love you." She whispered tenderly. Trying to fight the emptiness she's now feeling.
"I love you too." Sam responded sincerely.
"This is for the best I guess." Both Sachiko and Yumi thought at the same time.
Sei not liking the thick tension in the atmosphere asked brightly, "Sooo…whose up for lunch?"
The ride in the restaurant was awkwardly silent. No one wanting to talk. After 15 minutes they arrived at the restaurant.
Suguru talked to the receptionist and they were immediately leaded to a round table. All took their respective seat and waited for the waiter to arrive.
"Hi, my name is Steph and I will be your waitress for today." The woman not older than 25 said, "Here's the menu, just call me if you're ready to order, alright." She smiled then left the group.
"Excuse me but I have to use the ladies room, and Oneesama if you don't mind order for me as well." Sachiko then stood up and took her leave.
"Wait I'm coming with you." Sam said standing up, following Sachiko.
Sachiko just shrugs upon hearing this.
"Yumi your girlfriend sure is brave." Yuuki said to her sister amused that Sam isn't a bit scared of what Sachiko can do to her.
At the ladies room:
"So…Sachiko-san, how long have you been married to Suguru-kun?" Sam asked nonchalantly, trying to ease the tension between her and Sachiko.
"Hmm…4 years I would say." Sachiko answered fixing herself in front of the mirror.
"Might as well be friendly with her." Sachiko sighed.
"I see…Uhmm I just wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. I didn't know what's gotten over me." Sam stated with a sincere smile.
Sachiko looked at Sam then smiled "Don't worry about it, Im sorry too for acting coldly. I know I don't have the reason to."
"Hehe, Its alright, it was my fault to begin with."
"Sam if you don't mind me asking, why did you suddenly snatch Yumi away from me earlier?"
"Because it looks like you two were going to kiss each other if no ones interfere." Sam thought but didn't it voiced out, "there's no way in hell would I tell her that."
"Hmm…jealousy I guess." she said coolly
"Jealousy?" Sachiko asked surprised. "about what?"
"I was jealous about how close you and Yumi are. You two look almost like a lovers."
"Lovers… I don't think so Yumi and I are just souers before, so it's natural for us to act closely." Sachiko explained. "Lovers huh…I wish that's true." She said sighing.
"I see." She said thinking if whether she would believe Sachiko or not.
"Should we head back, I bet people there are worrying about us killing each other." Sam said grinning.
"I think we should." Sachiko responded with a coy smile.
At the table:
"Are you guys sure we should leave those two alone? Yoshino asked worriedly. "They might kill each other for heaven's sake."
"That would be interesting to see but I doubt Sachiko will do such an "unlady" like thing in public." Sei said bored.
"Yeah, Sachiko isn't the type of person to start a fight." Rei stated to her cousin.
"You never know that." Yoshino sighed dejectedly.
"Ring,..Ring" Youko's phone rang earning everyone's attention. She then took her phone out and looked at the screen. Seeing the name she flipped her phone open and put it in her right ears.
"Hello Touko-chan." Youko greeted.
"Hello Youko-sama." Touko greeted back.
"What made you call me all of a sudden?" Youko asked.
"I just want to know where you guys are." Touko stated.
"Were at the Ratatouille, you know the restaurant 15 minutes away from the airport…Why'd you ask?"
"Well I just can't wait to see my oneesama, so I'm coming earlier than expected…I'll be there in a minute Okay." Touko said, happiness visible in her voice.
"Oh I see…By the way Touko prepare yourself Yumi have a surprise for you" Youko said mischieviously, "Bye." She then cut the line before Touko could ask her a question.
"Who's that Youko-sama? Yumi asked curiously.
"Oh that was Touko-chan, she said she'll be arriving in a minute." Youko said smiling. At the mention of Touko's name Yumi smiled, she couldn't wait to see her petite soeur.
After a minute or so Sachiko and Sam came back together.
"It's about time you two got here." Youko said with relief.
"We were about to call an ambulance just in case one of you needed it you know." Rei said almost mockingly.
Sachiko and Sam looked at each other before giggling.
"What make you think of that?" Sachiko asked, sitting down.
"You know, the murderous aura you both been releasing moments ago." Rei stated the obvious.
"Ohh that…Don't worry Sam and I are not the type of person to kill someone we don't get along with." Sachiko said innocently. "Right Sam?' Sam nodded her head.
"It would be more interesting to see them fight though don't you think." Eriko said with a wink.
"No offence Eriko-sama but are you some kind of...you know...sadist? Yoshino asked almost awkwardly.
"My, my Yoshino-chan, that's a bit rude of you to think that I'm a sadist." Eriko said with a pouting face. "Well, I am not a sadist Yoshino-chan, sorry to disappoint you, I just like seeing interesting things."
"Well fighting in my opinion isn't interesting." Yoshino said sarcastically.
"Well too bad for you Yoshino-chan." Eriko said mockingly.
Yoshino just sigh in defeat. "Whatever."
Everyone at the table chuckled at this.
"Well just so you know we're glad you guys didn't kill each other inside the bathroom." Youko remarked with a sigh.
"Don't stress yourself over something so foolish Youko-sama, and besides I don't have to worry about Sachiko-sama anymore you know." Sam said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that Sam? Yumi asked puzzled.
"Oh you know, she's already married to Suguru-kun, so I don't have to be worried that one day you might just run away with her." Sam stated nonchalantly, smiling ever so slightly.
Yumi just nodded in acknowledgement. "Run away with her you said…" Yumi thought laughing sadly inwardly.
"True that." Sei said grinning directly at Sachiko. Sachiko noticing Sei's grin decided to ignore the latter.
"Anyways shall we take our order?" Sachiko asked looking for the waitress then suddenly she heard a loud noise.
"Oneesama." Everyone turned their attention to the person who just yelled.
"Touko-chan." Yumi said then stood up and hugged the girl.
"Welcome back oneesama. I missed you." Touko said happily tears forming in her eyes.
"I missed you too, Touko-chan." Yumi said smiling warmly.
Letting go of Yumi, Touko noticed Sachiko smiling at her, She was about to return the smile when she realized the older woman's lifeless eyes.
"What happened to her, I wonder." Touko thought before taking a seat next to Sachiko. She wanted to seat next to Yumi but there's no available chair. She looked around and smile when finally she notices the blond woman who's sitting next to Yumi.
"Who might you be if I may ask?" Touko asked politely.
Sam looked at her and smile. "My name is Sam Brooks, Yumi's girlfriend."
Touko's reaction like the others before her had her jaw dropped.
"Oneesama has a girlfriend?" she asked loudly more than she intended to.
Sam seeing Touko's reaction thought. "Now, why do they all have the same reaction? Is it really that surprising that Yumi has a girlfriend?"
Touko looking at Yumi and Sam shifted her gaze to Sachiko who smiled at her gently.
"So that's why her eyes seem dull." Touko thought sighing.
"Nice to meet you Sam-san, I'm Touko by the way." She introduced herself smiling softly. Sam smiled back at her.
Touko sensing the quiet atmosphere in the table decided to ask "Sooo…Did something happened earlier that I must be informed of?
Everyone looked at her surprised.
"What made you ask that Touko-chan? Yoshino asked giving Touko a "No, Don't continue" look. Touko noticed this look but decided to ignore her.
"Curiosity I guess." She said shrugging. "I am so going to know what happened earlier."
"I'll tell you about it later Okay." Youko said trying to avoid the subject.
"But I want to know now." Touko said whining like a 3 years old asking for a lollipop.
Luckily the waitress just steped in to take their order. "Are you guys ready to order yet?
They all nodded their head thanking god for sending Steph just in time. They all then placed their order. 30 minutes later their food arrived.
(Author : Too lazy to mention their food…^_^)
With Touko forgetting her question, their lunch went smoothly with laughter and non-ending chatting . Asking mostly about Yumi and Sam. They paid their bills and headed to where their car is.
"Youko-sama I'm worried about Sachiko-oneesama." Touko whispered to Youko who nodded in agreement.
"I know. We have to talk her." She said approaching Sachiko.
She then whispered something in Sachiko's ear and Sachiko merely nodded.
"Suguru-kun you can go home ahead, I would be riding home with oneesama and Touko-chan." Sachiko said with a smile. Suguru nodded and bid his good bye.
Yumi, Sam and Yuuki along with Sam bidded their goodbyes as well.
When everyone left, Touko and Youko turned their attention to Sachiko who is still standing straightly looking cold as ever. They then both hug Sachiko.
"It's ok Sachiko-oneesama, you can cry now." Touko said trying to sooth the older woman.
"Yes Sachiko, You don't have to use that cold façade of yours when you're with us." Youko wisphered gently into Sachiko's ears.
Hearing this, Sachiko didn't bother to stop her tears from falling anymore. She just let it fall freely, hoping that her tears would flash away the agonizing pain she is now feeling inside.
"It hurts so much, Oneesama, Touko-chan." Sachiko said hugging both women. "It hurts so much."
