Consequences: Tsukasa
Chapter 1 Kagami
As the Hiiragi twins board the train home they resume their conversation.
"Yeah, why?" Kagami furthering into her sister's seemingly random statement
"Well... you know, she's a really good friend" Tsukasa stumbling through her words
"I guess so... just be careful" Even after her situation with Konata, she remained the ever cautious older sister
"Don't worry sis, I won't wander into what you-" Suddenly she stopped, cut off by Kagami's outburst
"What? What I what? Think before you speak Tsukasa! It's not your place." The older sibling seethed with anger, ignoring her surroundings, the passengers staring at the scene unfolding in front of them. Noticing this Kagami's face grew crimson with embarrassment.
"But Kagami-" Tsukasa trying to defend herself but it was hopeless
"No! Don't even try! You have no idea what I've been through, you have no idea how it feels to have someone you love just turn around and leave you for someone else. You'll never know the hell I've been through, so just stop. Please." Her voice weakening, she turns her back to Tsukasa
"Sis..." Tsukasa reaching for her sister
"Please don't touch me Tsukasa..." Her words barely escaping her lips
"It's okay" Tsukasa reaching out once again
"Please..." Kagami weakening more and more by the moment
"Come here" Taking her in her arms, Tsukasa embraces her sister
"Tsukasa..." Tears flowing from her eyes, Kagami clings to the only person that has stood by her throughout her life, through everything
"It's okay, Kagami" Tsukasa strokes her hair, calming her down
The train arrived at their stop, Kagami's eyes still red. Their house having four others in it when they arrived just aggravated the matter.
"Welcome home-" They were greeted by Miki's smile the moment they walked in the door... for a moment
"Hi Mom" Tsukasa still able to answer to her mother while Kagami passed them both in silence, still in pain from their decisions on her relationship with Konata
"What's wrong with Kagami?" Miki, regardless, is still a caring mother of her children
"It's another thing with Konata again, listen can I talk to you for a bit? It's important" Tsukasa pushing the conversation in another direction
"Sure" Miki leading Tsukasa into the vacant kitchen filled with various utensils for all kinds of dishes, the Hiiragi house being a very cultural family
"You remember Misao? A brown haired girl that came over here before a couple of times"
"Yeah, she's Kagami's friend, Is this another girl I should be worried about?" Miki gaining a serious aura around her
"Sort of... but, I was going to start dating her" Tsukasa, usually shy now perfectly confident in her words
"Alright"
"What?" Tsukasa almost taken back by her mother's reaction
"It's fine, just keep it out of this house" Miki states this and walks out of the kitchen and into the living area
"What?" Kagami walking into the room with a look of hate, confusion, and sadness in her eyes
"Kagami! W-What are you doing?" Stuttering through her words, Tsukasa clings to the counter behind her to prevent her fall
"What the hell was that?" Kagami nearing towards her target, fists clenched
"Nothing sis, I promise" Tsukasa flat against the counter, a look a fear in her eyes
"Oh, I'll make sure it's nothing" gripping Tsukasa by the shirt, closing in even closer
"What are you talking about?" shuddering from her sister's attack
"Not after everything I've been through. What makes you so special that you get a free ride!" twist Tsukasa's left arm behind her back
"Please, Stop!" tears flooding her eyes from the pain
"Why? Why the hell should I? Nothing but hate and rage clouding her mind
"I'm not Konata!" Tsukasa screaming through the agony
With that she released her arm. Both girls fell to the floor, their eyes reddened and burned.
'What happened?' Kagami regaining her senses, her only sight, her sister, crying on the floor holding her arm in misery. She finally is able to think...
"I can't keep letting this happen, there's not much I can do..."
