AN: So first chapter, bit short but that's because I want to try and play the detail across properly and I hope I'm doing that well. So this second chapter may also be short too and I'm sorry for that! I'm just trying to write this right and its by no means easy but alas, instead of complaining I shall simply, get on with it!


Yumi Fukuzawa had always been told by her parents to never hide who she was and to do everything she could to be a good person because that was what mattered in the world. Never once had they neglected her or made her feel any less than fully loved or like she couldn't do whatever she wanted.

In fact, they were always supportive of her, doing their best to afford tuition when she had said she wanted to go to Lillian Academy, listening to her when she was upset and giving her helpful advice and support, trying to never be too strict on the girl.

And her brother, he had always been ever supportive too, despite being the younger sibling, he was always there for her, letting her vent to him when she was mad or confused and never doing anything less than being there for her in ways their parents couldn't be.

They had supported her so much that she never hid anything from them. Normally she told them everything, always so sure that they would have sage words of wisdom for her.

But recently she had developed a large secret, one she couldn't tell anyone, not ever. This secret had been making her so confused and sad lately, so completely wrung up in her own thoughts that she didn't know how to handle this secret. That secret being that she was in love with Sachiko Ogasawara, her beautiful and elegant Onee-sama. So in love with her that she just didn't know how to handle it. The only people that knew were her baby brother and Youko-sama. They had both managed to figure it out fairly quickly based off of her admiration she had held previously for the elder girl, even figuring it out before Yumi herself had.

Yes, Yumi was deeply in love with her Onee-sama. Not that Yumi would ever be able to tell her. No, that was something she just couldn't bare to do.

No, Yumi would keep her love to herself because she knew that she couldn't tell Sachiko, not without risking their sister relationship since she knew that Sachiko would never be able to love her in the same way. And even if she did, Yumi would never be able to let Sachiko put her engagement at risk because she knew the repercussion she would face if she did. She knew that Sachiko might face being disowned if she dared to go against her father. But of course that was only baring in mind that Sachiko felt the same. Which she didn't.

So instead Yumi just day dreamed about what her life could be like with her beloved Onee-sama and her sleep was filled with nightmares of what might happen if Sachiko ever found out and of watching Sachiko go off and live a happy life with Suguru. She hated him so much because of these nightmares, which she knew wasn't fair, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't help being mad at the man who had the potential to steal her loves heart even if she had no just cause to be since Sachiko and he had never actually met, let alone had Yumi met him. That fact only served to make her feel worse about harboring such ill feelings towards Suguru.

When she had woke up that morning, nothing had been different at all. No, in fact, everything had been as usual, Yumi had woken up earlier than her alarm due to a nightmare like she was prone to do these days before going to her desk.

She wrote in her diary as per usual, writing her thoughts and feelings and her latest nightmare down in her diary, making note to talk to her brother about it later if he didn't mind which he normally didn't, taking a little while to look at the photo she kept of her and Sachiko framed on her desk. It was a picture of them that had been taken without either of them knowing but she was glad it had been. They were sat in the Rose Mansion, leant over a piece of Yumi's homework she had been struggling with. Yumi remembers how close they had been in that moment and how she had been able to smell Sachiko's perfume. Sachiko had been laughing at Yumi as she scrunched her face up, trying futilely to understand whatever equation had been on the homework that Sachiko had been trying to show her. Yoshino had been the one to take the picture and while Sachiko had originally been annoyed at first, after they had both seen the picture they had conceded that the picture was indeed adorable and that they were glad she had taken it. When Yumi had gotten home that day she had asked Yoshino to send it to her and printed it out the second her parents had let her.

She finished reminiscing over the picture and got up and got dressed, sighing at the fact that this was her normal now, nightmares and whining to her brother about the love she could never have.

She went downstairs and got breakfast from her mother who sat with her while she ate, asking about her studies before Yumi had to go. She grabbed her satchel, kissing her mother on the cheek as she headed out the door.

She walked to school as normal, taking her path through the park that allowed her to take in the beautiful Sakura tree's and the soft pink petals that adorned the branches. She walked to the statue of Maria-sama as usual and stopped to pray at it for a moment when she heard her Onee-sama's car pull up, right on time.

That was when everything began to change for Yumi.


AN: So, chapter 2! A little bit short but hopefully just as good! And set from Yumi's point of view to change things up a bit! I'm not sure yet but I may change the point of view every other chapter provided that doesn't lead me to repeat myself too much in terms of story! But anyway, feel free to criticize or leave comments as it is always appreciated :)
