Something To Believe
By: Dreiser
Part Two...
The next day, Yumi wore her hair down. Much
speculation was created over this change in hairstyle
for the popular en bouton of Rosa Chinesis. When Yumi
entered her class the first thing she was greeted with
was the flash of Tsutako's camera and Mami confronting
her with her ever present pen and pad of paper at the
ready.
"Rosa Chinesis en bouton, changes hairstyle out of
mourning for her oneesama's upcoming graduation!" Mami
exclaimed, pen touching the pad of paper as she looked
at Yumi expectantly for a reaction. When it came to
Yumi it was well known that her face told the story.
Only this time she didn't get quite what she expected.
Yumi gave a mysterious smile and tilted her head to
one side. Blinking in confusion, Mami said,
"Yumi-san?"
"Do you want a scoop, Mami-san?" asked Yumi, eyes
glittering and a playful look on her features.
"What scoop?" inquired Mami almost suspiciously, not
really believing in the luck of good stories landing
in her lap. Though, cynical as she was, she couldn't
help but say eagerly, "Is it the reason for the new
hairstyle?"
"Sort of," Yumi revealed altogether impishly.
"What is it?" Mami pressed, pen landing on paper and
staring Yumi hard in the eyes, presenting an unspoken
demand for the story in her body language.
"I've asked Matsudaira Touko to be my petite soeur,"
announced Yumi proudly. Mami's eyes went wide and she
opened her mouth to begin asking questions but Yumi
cut her off with a wave of her index finger. "But
sadly, she's turned me down. I'm not giving up though!
I'm announcing here and now to you, the voice of the
school, that I will have Touko for my petite soeur."
The doors to their classroom opened and their sensei
walked inside. Yumi made a tching noise under her
breath and gave Mami a smile. "We'll have to finish
this later, Mami-san." Yumi turned away and started
towards her desk but looked over shoulder to say
rather mischeviously, "And just so you know, I'm
wearing my hair down because Touko once said she liked
how it looked this way."
Silence except for the flash of Tsutako's camera and
something deep inside Yumi rejoiced. Because if she
could get one up on one of the fiercest members of the
newspaper staff maybe, just maybe, convincing Touko to
be her petite soeur might not be as hard as she
thought.
Lunch time arrived and Yumi picked up her box lunch to
go with Yoshino to the Rose Mansion, wearing what
appeared to a permenant satisfied smile on her
features. Basking in the stares and the sounds of
gossiping as they walked past Yumi almost didn't hear
her friend's not so quiet demand to know what was
going on.
"Yoshino-san?" asked Yumi, blinking at the hostility.
"I'm sorry, Yumi-san," said Yoshino, stopping in her
walk to face her friend. "But all of this," she
gestured agitatedly at the nearby gossiping students.
"Is starting to get on my nerves and they're not even
talking about me! Why are you so happy that they're
speaking about your rejection? Did you really tell
Mami-san about Touko-chan turning you down? Why would
you do that?"
"Ah," said Yumi wisely, feeling rather like
Sachiko-sama but not nearly so cool. Perhaps she was
feeling like Sachiko-sama-lite. Leaning in close to
Yoshino, she formed a little grin and drawled, "It's
to get her attention."
"Touko's?" asked Yoshino disbelievingly.
"It should come shortly," Yumi said, looking pleased
with herself and hooking her arm in Yoshino's as she
continued their walk down the hall.
"What should?" Yoshino questioned, not quite believing
this was Yumi she was talking to. She was starting to
think maybe everyone was wrong when they predicted she
would be the driving force behind the Yamayurikai next
year instead of Yumi. Particularly if the other girl
was already showing a mastery for the art of
manipulation. It reminded Yoshino of Youko-sama but in
a strangely pleasant way that bode well for their
future.
"Touko-chan's reply," said Yumi simply.
They kept walking arm and arm and were nearly at the
stairs when the sound of pounding footsteps met their
ears along with the imperious scream of, "Yumi-sama!"
Pausing in her walk, Yumi turned to face Touko still
wearing that sastified smile on her features.
Something which seemed to further enrage the younger
girl. Observing the crumpled remains of the school
newspaper in Touko's hands, Yumi's lips quirked up a
bit and she remarked, "A new edition already? We have
a very productive newspaper staff, don't we
Touko-chan?"
"Yumi-sama," Touko said in a low tone, looking very
much like she was trying quite hard to control
herself. "Why did you speak with them? You do know the
entire school is talking about us now."
"I hope so," said Yumi, leaning towards Touko and
looking entirely pleased with herself. She gave into a
sudden and rather playful desire and tapped the
younger girl on the nose. "Because that's the reason I
decided to speak with them. So I could let everyone
know I chose the cute and charming Touko-chan as my
petite soeur." Yumi pulled back and wore something of
a pout. "Even if she's turned me down on the first
try."
"First try?" Touko echoed, looking stunned.
"Of course," replied Yumi, pushing a stray lock of
hair from her eyes and smiling at Touko. "Touko-chan
is the only one I want for my petite soeur so even if
she rejects me at first, I can hardly give up if I
want Touko-chan to be mine, now can I?" Yumi stepped
closer to the younger girl and once again felt rather
like Sachiko-sama as she fixed the scarf that had
become messy from running all over the school.
"Instead, I'll just have to spend my time convincing
you what a good grande soeur I will be."
"Yumi-sama," Touko's voice was a bare whisper and she
stared with disbelieving eyes at the older girl who
was fixing her scarf. "Why did you really change your
hair?"
Gazing up at Touko, her eyes crinkled around the edges
as she smiled then Yumi replied, "That night in my
room, my hair was down and you said it looked better
that way." Pulling away and standing at her full
height, Yumi continued, "My hairstyle doesn't matter
to me. What matters is whether or not Touko-chan likes
it."
Then with that, Yumi hooked her arm in Yoshino's and
disappeared down the stairs. Leaving Touko frozen with
gossiping students surrounding her on all sides. Just
as they began to swarm to demand answers on exactly
why she would turn down the most popular member of the
Yamayurikai among the first year students, Noriko
stepped in. She shooed them away with glares and a few
harsh words and by the time they were relatively
alone, Touko had finally found her ability to speak
again.
"Why is she doing this?" said Touko, her tones empty
and sad and incredibly lost as she looked at Noriko.
"I don't know," answered Noriko honestly. "But I
believe Yumi-sama when she says she wants you as her
petite soeur. I can see the truth of it in her eyes."
Clenching her jaw, Touko stiffened her back and said
bitterly, "She wants Sachiko-sama but she can't keep
her, especially after the wedding. I'm meant to be a
poor replacement."
"Touko-san," said Noriko, her eyes widening slightly
in surprise.
Much like Yumi, no reply came from Touko. She simply
turned on her heel and walked away, ignoring the
stares and the gossip that followed. Leaving Noriko
staring after her with a worried expression.
