36A/N: It's been a while that I have not published on this lovely fandom. This story was started a long time ago but never finished. It's a multi-chapter story that will have around 7 or 8 chapters and it won't be as long as any of my former projects. I am currently working on the latest chapters. I hope I can publish the next one on Monday. Please let me know what you think.
Enjoy!
1.- Oblivion
First, she was kissing her in front of the altar, the proof of their recent union. In the blink of an eye, they were sitting in the back of a limo heading to the reception. They danced their first song as a married couple; they heard the speeches of their friends and dirtied their faces with cake and their smiles only widened.
Later, they came back to the limo and she gave the order to the driver to head to the airport, their honeymoon was about to start and they could not be happier. Those brown orbs looked at her with all the love the brown haired woman was able to feel, and it looked beyond infinite.
She felt those soft lips on her wedding ring first, when she looked down those same lips brushed against hers, and her heart could not beat any faster.
Their foreheads touched and the most beautiful smiles adorned their faces and in an instant, a blinding light covered all and, moments later, a loud crash and the sound of bending metal could be heard while the smell of gasoline mixed with blood made her dizzy before darkness engulfed her.
When Ogasawara Sachiko opened her eyes once again, white surrounded her. She still felt the heat of that soft hand she had in hers until moments ago, on her lips still lingered the soft sensation of those lips against her own. What she could not grasp was where she was.
I am not familiar with this room.
Where am I?
Sachiko tried to sit on the bed but her body did not obey her. She suddenly felt so weak that her limbs didn't do what she wanted to so she decided to rest a little more before trying to figure out her current situation. It did not take long for the brunette to fall asleep once more.
It was a morning like any other; the season was fall so the ground was covered with a colorful carpet of yellow, brown and red leaves. The maidens walked slowly so the pleats of their skirts would not be disturbed. The standard of modesty did not allow them to run because it was not the way a lady must behave.
A girl wrapped in a dark sailor uniform was giving a short prayer to a smiling statue of Maria-sama and, when she turned to continue her walk toward her classroom, the most famous second-year student of all the school, Ogasawara Sachiko, stopped her.
The excuse? The younger girl's tie was crooked. However, the 'star of Lillian' also caressed the latter's pigtails and trailed her fingers down the other girl's cheek. It was a rare occurrence that a girl caught the attention of the unreachable heiress but this brown haired girl did, and Ogasawara Sachiko found herself attracted towards the younger girl.
The following day she asked her onee-sama about the mysterious girl and Rosa Chinensis solved the puzzle, the name of the girl whose tender eyes captivated the 'star of Lillian' was Fukuzawa Yumi.
When Sachiko opened her eyes once more, she found herself in the same white room, covered by white sheets and wearing a white hospital gown. She moved slightly and was relieved to realize that her body actually moved.
The brunette woman sat on the bed and she slowly started to recall her previous dream. There was a mixture of images that she could not understand but actually remembered those tender brown eyes.
Fukuzawa…
"Yumi…" Sachiko whispered the name and her heart reacted by beating faster. Suddenly, the door opened and a woman in an elegant business skirt and jacket suit entered, the dark haired president recognized her immediately.
"Onee-sama"
"Thanks to Maria-sama that you are okay, Sachiko" Mizuno Youko commented with a concerned voice, "I was really worried"
"I am fine onee-sama" the heiress added with a smile.
"No you are not, Sachiko" the attorney scolded "working nonstop for weeks, not eating properly and sleeping less than three hours a day is slowly killing you"
"But…" the president protested but her onee-sama's rant interrupted her grief.
"No wonder you fainted in the middle of the most important meeting of the year" Youko raised her arms exasperated.
"I promise to take a few days off and rest after the meeting, onee-sama" Sachiko bowed respectfully and the lawyer smiled defeated.
"Fine, but I don't want to see you at work for at least a week" the former Rosa Chinensis approached her eternal petite soeur and cupped her cheek in her hand.
"Look, I brought you dark chocolate truffles, your favorite" the heiress' face lit up and grabbed one of the truffles before biting it and moan delighted, it was indeed her favorite dessert.
"Ne, onee-sama"
"Yes, Sachiko?"
"I had an eerie dream"
"Could you please elaborate my dear petite soeur?"
"I was at Lillian and I met this girl and I fell in love with her at first sight" Sachiko's cheeks blushed and Youko giggled, "The odd part is that you were the one that actually told me her name"
"What was it?"
"Fukuzawa Yumi" the brunette president whispered and Youko frowned
"I've never heard of that name before, Sachiko"
"I know onee-sama and that is why I find it really odd because the dream felt so real" the brunette patient rubbed the bridge of her nose clearly annoyed.
Not to mention that odd dream of me marrying the aforementioned girl, I am very sure that it was indeed the same because those beautiful and warm eyes were definitely hers, Sachiko thought while sighing frustratedly.
"Pay no heed to that weird dream and focus on resting today" Youko smiled and Sachiko nodded.
"Would I be able to go back home today, onee-sama?" the young president wondered aloud, she hated being bedridden and especially if it was not her own.
"Unfortunately, the doctor said that you have to spend the night in observation" the attorney commented and Sachiko frowned.
"Fine" the heiress pouted and Youko smiled, those were the moments she cherished the most when Sachiko behaved freely.
"Visiting hours are over" a nurse notified before closing the door again.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow and please, Sachiko" the lawyer approached and kissed the heiress' forehead "rest"
"I will onee-sama, have a pleasant night" a blushing president replied and the lawyer closed the door. Once again, Sachiko closed her eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
After being rejected by the second time, Ogasawara Sachiko had her pride wounded. She decided on taking Fukuzawa Yumi as her petite soeur and will not rest until she achieved her goal.
The perfect opportunity was presented when Rosa Gigantea placed a bet regarding the play the Yamayurikai wanted to perform at the school festival. She was starting to notice Yumi even more.
Every time she entered Lillian, she could easily distinguish the girl with pigtails among all the students, it seemed like she was attracted to her by an invisible force. In addition, Sachiko took advantage of that fact to constantly stalk the girl.
Wherever Yumi was, Sachiko appeared and treated the girl like the most delicate flower. Little by little, the pigtailed girl softened around the 'star of Lillian' and after a while, they became inseparable.
After enduring performing in the play where she was forced to act as she was in love of her cousin Suguru, Sachiko bought two packs of apple juice from the bending machine next to the Milk Hall and headed towards the bonfire in search of Yumi.
It did not take her long to find the pigtailed girl sitting in a little hill facing the flames. After inviting her for a walk, they celebrated with an intimate toast and there, in front of statue of Maria-sama, Fukuzawa Yumi accepted Ogasawara Sachiko's rosary and became her petite soeur after that, they tenderly hugged and Yumi's warmth engulfed the heiress' soul and made her heart feel loved for the first time.
Sachiko opened her eyes and found herself resting on the same bed, covered by the same sheet and wearing the same white gown but something was different. When she placed a hand on her chest, she could feel her heart racing like never before.
When she checked her phone, the clock announced that it was a little past two in the morning and the young president frowned confused.
Why do I still feel the warmth of a girl that I have never seen nor hugged before? Why do I feel like my soul is entwined with hers?
Who exactly are you, Fukuzawa Yumi?
