Chapter 1

"Come on, Kagamin!"

Kagami sighed and turned to her otaku friend. "Konata. We went to Gamers two days ago. What could you possibly need now?" She asked, slightly irritated. "And why don't you ask Tsukasa or Miyuki to go with you this time?"

"They're both busy with a project today." Konata stated. "And new Haruhi game just came out today. I need it to live, Kagamin. You don't want me to wither away from boredom, do you?"

"I said no, Konata. Unlike some people, I have to do my homework. A trip to Gamers is going cut down how long I can do homework tonight. And if they're doing a project, don't you have one as well, since you're in the same class?"

"If I had a project I would go home and do it right away like the responsible student I am." Konata turned to Kagami when she snorted at that answer. It looked like she was going to have to resort to her secret weapon.

"Please?" Konata pouted, allowing her eyes to water just a little bit. She knew this line of attack would work and smirked internally when her tsundere's cheeks turned red.

"Fine." Kagami turned her face away and crossed her arms. Konata smirked before hugging her best friend around the waist.

"Kagami-sama! You are so merciful!"

"Konata! I told you not to call me that!" Kagami shoved Konata off and glared at her, blush still prominent on her cheeks.

"Aw. Is that a blush I see? Who knew you could be moe!" Konata smiled her cat smirk before running off, leaving Kagami to glare at her retreating form.

"This is the last time I let her have her way," she growled before following the blue haired otaku to the last place she wanted to be.

The train ride to Akiba was uneventful. Konata swung her legs back and forth as she watched the scenery fly by while Kagami read a light novel. When the train came to a stop, Konata jumped out of her seat and ran towards the door, only stop when she noticed the huge crowd outside.

"It's really busy today. Don't you think it would be smarter to come back another day?" Kagami looked down at Konata, only to notice she had already disappeared into the crowd. She sighed before trying to make her way through to Gamers.

"What is with her, leaving me like this." Kagami growled under her breath. "I don't know why I put up with her sometimes." She must have been glaring because some random otaku in the crowd called her a tsundere. She growled again and shot a glare at everyone surrounding her. They backed off a bit and Kagami continued to Gamers, half looking for Konata in the process.

"Knowing her, she'll probably let me get lost so she can tease me about it. Though maybe she isn't that mean." She growled again out of frustration as she continued to push through the crowd.

"This is definitely the last time I let her have her way so easily." After figuring she somehow managed to get herself lost, she idly wandered amongst the otaku until she felt someone grab her free hand. Tightening her grip on her school bag, she turned to give the person a piece of her mind, only to notice it was Konata and blushed slightly. With a wink, she steered the tsundere in the right direction and into Gamers.

"How did I even miss that?" She thought to herself as she glanced up at the huge Gamers sign. Konata released Kagami's hand and proceeded to search for the game she came for while Kagami wandered through the aisles. While looking at the games as she passed through, she held up her hand and looked at it before dropping back at her side.

"It's normal for best friend to hold hands, right? So why do I wish she didn't let go?" Before she could question herself further, she collided with Konata as she turned the corner to the next aisle.

"Ah! K-Konata! Are you alright?" Kagami reached down to pull Konata up.

"You are so mean to me, Kagamin! All I wanted was a hug and you throw me on the floor!" Konata pouted as she allowed herself to be pulled up. "You're more of a tsundere than I thought."

"Can't you ever use words I understand?" Kagami sighed.

"Now where's the fun in that, hm?" Konata turned and walked to the register. Kagami followed and watched her friend pull out money to pay for her game.

"I'm 100 yen short. Can I borrow it from you, Kagamin? Please?"

"Fine. But you owe me."

"Anything you say, master!" Konata stated with a smirk.

"Konata stop that! People will think strange things if they hear you talking like that!" Kagami glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief that no one was around. She then handed Konata the money and proceeded to wait outside of Gamers so they could head back home.

"Hey Kagamin. Want me to hold your hand again so you don't get lost?" Konata grinned while Kagami blushed.

"I'm fine, Konata."

"Then why are you blushing, hm?" Konata's grin widened as she watched Kagami try to hide her darkening blush. Kagami shot a glare at Konata before heading for the train station and leaving her behind. Konata smiled innocently and chased after her while questioning about her growing blush.

Konata got off the train as it came to a stop near her house, waving goodbye to Kagami as she went. She grinned enthusiastically as her house came into view.

"This game is going to be epic." She happily told herself. "I wonder if dad is home."

She unlocked the door and kicked off her shoes. "I'm home!" She yelled as she walked through the house. When she noticed her father wasn't there, she made her way to the living room to play her game. While waiting for it to load, she changed into comfortable clothes, preparing herself for the long hours of gaming. The phone rang twice, but Konata was too far in her game to notice. She heard the front door open and managed to pause her game long enough to greet her father.

"Hey dad. Where have you been?" she asked.

"Just out to the store. I called earlier to ask if you needed anything, but you never answered."

"Oh sorry. I was kinda playing the new Haruhi game that came out today. Guess I didn't notice the phone going off." Konata smiled innocently and rubbed the back of her head.

"Oh it came out today? Is it any good?" Soujiro asked.

"It's great. Are you making dinner tonight?" Konata asked as she eyed the grocery bags. When Soujiro nodded, she went back to her game with an okay. A moment later, Soujiro walked in and sat down, watching Konata play.

"Hey Konata. Do you still have that game I lent you? I forgot that I never finished it." She thought for a moment.

"You mean that one galge?"

"Yeah that one." Konata shook her head.

"I haven't finished it yet. I'm stuck." Soujiro blinked in confusion.

"How are you stuck? It's pretty straight forward."

"If it's straight forward, how come you aren't finished it yet?" He sweat dropped at that comment.

"Well I though I finished it. I just wanted to check and make sure. So what are you having trouble on?

"Nothing too big. I just can't seem to trigger an event scene with the tsundere." Soujiro thought for a moment before he grinned.

"Well, good luck with Kagami." He got up and shuffled back to the kitchen to check on the progress of dinner. Konata nodded her head and went back to concentrating on her game. She blinked a few times before realization hit her. She dropped the controller, causing Haruhi to yell at her for missing a couple of steps. She froze, staring wide eyed at the screen before jumping up and running to the kitchen. She slid across the floor, nearly colliding with the counter in her panic.

"What is it, Konata?" Soujiro looked up from stirring the contents of the pot.

"W-what did you say?" Konata demanded as she tried not to panic.

"Good luck with your tsundere?" He replied innocently. Konata stared for a couple seconds before asking, "How did you know?"

Soujiro smiled and shut off the stove. "Well it was rather obvious. That and I overheard you while you were playing that galge I lent you. You called the tsundere character Kagamin." Konata looked down at the floor, confused as to what to do now. Would her father hate her now? She cringed slightly at that thought.

"Do… do you hate me now?" She looked up at Soujiro, hoping his answer wasn't yes. He surprised her by chuckling and hugging his daughter tight.

"I don't care what gender you have feelings for. As long as you are happy, then I am happy too." Konata breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her father back.

"But you know," Soujiro held her at arms length and smiled the familiar Izumi family cat smile. "You should have her come over sometime dressed as a shrine maiden." Konata laughed and hugged her father again.

"I don't think she would appreciate you taking a thousand pictures of her for your fetish."

"It isn't a fetish. It's for work." Soujiro pouted. She laughed again as she walked back to the living room.

"This gives me an idea." Konata smiled her cat smile and picked up the controller to continue her game.

Kagami sighed as she got off the train, heading towards her house. She vaguely wondered if Tsukasa was there as she approached her house. She unlocked the door and greeted her mother as she took off her shoes.

"Is Tsukasa back from Miyuki's yet?" she asked.

"Oh no. Not yet. She just called and told me she may be home a little late." Her mother answered.

"Alright. I'm heading up to my room to study. Let me know when dinner is done." Kagami grabbed her bag and went upstairs to her room. She sat at her desk and pulled out homework related materials with the plan of studying until dinnertime. After working on a few problems, Kagami's mind began to wander. She tapped her pencil again the desk as she stared off at nothing.

"I wonder what Konata is doing. Probably playing the new game she dragged me with her to get." Kagami shook her head. "Why am I thinking about her at a time like this? I need to finish studying!" And with that, Kagami resumed studying. Moments later, she found herself staring out the window with her thoughts on the blue haired otaku.

"Why can't I get her off my mind today?" Kagami wondered out loud. "Annoying brat can't leave me alone even when she's not here." With a sigh, Kagami got up and plopped on her bed and covered her eyes with her arm.

"Maybe… I like her…" She quickly shook her head at that thought. "No no. That would be too weird. Besides, she's an annoying pervert." She just sighed and stared out the window, trying to figure out when the feelings first appeared. Her thoughts were interrupted by a light knock on her door. The door slid open to reveal Tsukasa on the other side.

"Oh hey Tsukasa. When did you get home?" She asked. In her mind, she could almost hear Konata giving her a speech about how with twin telepathy, she would have known when her twin arrived home.

"Just a few minutes ago. Um, I was asked to some and get you for dinner." Kagami got up and followed her twin downstairs.

"Um, sis?"

"Yeah Tsukasa?"
"Did you already finish your homework?" Kagami shook her head as she sat down at the table. "I was taking a break. I'm guessing you need help, right?" Tsukasa nodded.

"Well. I'm tired tonight. So maybe tomorrow night. How does that sound?"

"Thanks sis! Ah, should we maybe invite Yuki-chan and Kona-chan?" Kagami thought about it for a moment.

"Well, Miyuki has a dentist's appointment tomorrow and Konata will be a distraction. So it's probably not a good idea. Maybe next time, though."

"Oh. Alright then."

After dinner, Kagami said her good nights and went up to her room. She sat down at her desk, hoping to get some more done before she went to bed. Minutes passed before she found herself distracted again by thoughts of that blue haired menace. Kagami leaned back in her chair and stared at her ceiling.

"Maybe I am in love with her or something. It would explain why I can't get her off my mind. But how could something like this happen?" She thought back to when they first met. She remembered Tsukasa introducing her on the first day of school and her first words were 'you're a tsundere.' She also vaguely remembered her heart skipping slightly when she first smiled at her. Kagami shook her head.

"Maybe I'm just losing my mind. There is no way I could ever fall for that blue haired perverted otaku. Besides, she's a girl. Despite how weird she is, I doubt she'd ever date a girl, let alone me." Kagami shook her head again. "I can't believe I'm thinking about this seriously." She started on her homework again, getting as much done as she could while her mind was distracted. Just then, Kagami's phone started ringing, forcing her to retrieve it from her night stand. It was Konata.

"Hello?"

"Oh Kagamin. I just knew you were awake." Kagami rolled her eyes.

"Is there any specific reason why you are calling me this late?"

"Right down to business as expected, Kagami. I was just wondering if you wanted to get together tomorrow night and study. Maybe I can even stay over and study more."

"If by study, you mean copy my answers, then the answer's no." Konata pouted.

"Aw come on, Kagamin. I'll get straight to work and everything."

"I don't see why you have to stay over though." Kagami stated.

"Well tomorrow is Saturday and we don't have school Sunday. So I thought we could go out and do something Sunday. And besides, it would be easier to just stay over if I'm going to be studying, instead of taking the late train."

"Why do I get the feeling you planned this whole thing out?" Konata smiled innocently, despite the fact Kagami couldn't see her.

"Just say yes, Kagamin. You know you desperately want to."
"Well I don't know about the desperate part, but I'll say yes only so you'll stop bothering me." Konata quietly celebrated on the other line. "Alright chief. I'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Speak normally for once." Kagami said before she hung up. She sat down in her chair and sighed.

"And now she's coming over tomorrow. What next?" She sighed as she closed her books before changing into her pajamas and climbing into bed.

"I guess her company wouldn't be too bad. Knowing her it's going to be an endless teasing session, not a study session." She curled up under her blankets and glared at the wall before her expression softened.

"I guess she isn't that bad." Kagami smiled to herself. "I mean even if I've lost my mind and now have feelings for her, it won't be too bad to be around her. Only because there's no way she could feel the same." She closed her eyes and sighed softly to herself before drifting to sleep.

All previous typos and errors are fixed and hopefully it doesn't look like a third grader write it anymore.
It's also slightly longer.
