A Dream Come True, an Azumanga Daioh fanfic
I DO NOT OWN AZUMANGA DAIOH. THIS IS MERELY A FANFIC.
PLOT: Kaorin goes home after school but forgets her backpack. When Sakaki returns it to her, Kaorin finds only one way to repay her.
CHAPTER 1
Kaorin was glad to get out of class early to prepare for an astronomy club meeting. She loathed that perverted teacher, Mr. Kimura. Couldn't he tell she had no interest in him? Either way, she would make a stop at the juice machine for a drink. She had overheard some students talking about how one machine was broken and would pour liquid without setting a cup down first, leaving the next person with two. Kaorin fantasized about being with Sakaki; about Sakaki noticing her. Sakaki never seemed to care about her feelings. Kaorin tried to formulate a way to have Sakaki noticing her.
"Oh, I do hope someday Miss Sakaki will love me as I love her! She's just too cool!" Kaorin said to herself as her orange juice plopped down into the retrieval tray. She sipped it while walking to the science room. An hour passes, and the meeting is concluded. Kaorin had trouble interacting because he mind was clouded with machinations of Sakaki, and thus had to sweep the floor and put up chairs as punishment. Suits her. She would rather think of being in Sakaki's arms than astronomy, which didn't interest her near as much as Sakaki. With the meeting done, Kaorin began the walk home. On her way, she recalled forgetting something.
"OH NO!" She said aloud. "I left my backpack in Mr. "creep" mura's room! I won't be able to do my homework now!" The schoolgirl almost panicked, but soon regained her composure. Ever since she first laid her eyes on the long-haired Sakaki, her emotions seemed to turn on dimes, causing her to panic one moment and be calm and collected the next. It was because of this that Kaorin knew that Sakaki was the woman for her. Damn social standards. She, deep down, had a stronger sexual attraction to Sakaki, a girl, than any boy she had ever seen. If that meant being disliked by certain people, then so be it. Sakaki meant the world to her. She even dreamed wildly once of marriage.
The walk home was uneventful. Last time she took this particular route, she warded off a grey cat that bit Sakaki's hand. She was furious at the big-toothed feline, and slapped it hard, making it dash away. Kaorin was so upset that Sakaki's was bitten, that she nearly cried. A pat on the back from the one she loved made her melt. Once she arrived home, Kaorin slipped out of her leather loafers and trudged up the stairs to her room. Her parents would not be home for a few more hours or so as they were still at work. She fell back on her bed and grabbed a hand-made body pillow in Sakaki's image. She talked to it often, pretending it to be the real Sakaki.
"Miss Sakaki…" purred Kaorin. "You look good today. "
"…………………………………"
"Oh, thank you so much! I just had my uniform dry-cleaned. Do you like it?" Asked Kaorin to the cotton object.
"…………………………………"
"You do? Oh that would be wonderful! I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind if you came over! I hope they don't at least. P…perhaps….you may want to…stay the night?"
"…………………………………"
Oh! I thought I forgot something! Thank you so much for bringing it!" Kaorin gave "Sakaki" her thanks for returning her lost backpack and hugged it deeply. Kaorin looked into the eyes of the soft pillow, sighed, and set it aside.
"I wish Sakaki knew how much I love her. She's just so reserved, like me. If she were to show up right now, I would just-" Then there was a ring of the doorbell. Her heart fluttered. "It….it's Sakaki! She's here!" Kaorin jumped up from her bed, carefully placing the body pillow back in the closest. She ran downstairs and knocked herself against the door, making it thump from the other side. Upon opening it, she was eye-level with sakaki's large chest. Kaorin looked up into her face, finding it hard to speak.
"Hello, kaorin. I brought you your backpack. You walked out of Mr. Kimura's room before your astrology club meeting." Said the tall girl quietly.
"Thank you very much, Miss Sakaki. Perhaps you would like to, um, come in for a second? You must be tired from the walk over here."
"I…suppose I could. I just don't want to be a burden." Kaorin dismissed this claim swiftly.
"PFFT! Of course not! My parents aren't even here, but if they were they wouldn't mind. Please, come in and make yourself comfortable. I got some snacks? We just got a brand new high-definition television! M…maybe you would like to watch it?" Kaorin's string of nervous questions made Sakaki flustered.
"I see. Well, I don't see any harm in staying. I told my mother I would maybe stay at your house after returning your backpack."
"Well please! Come in! Kaorin made a polite bowing gesture as the two girls crossed the threshold into the house and proceeded to the living room. Kaorin's hospitality was tremendous. They sat down on the sofa in front of a large flat-screen t.v. Kaorin scooted close to Sakaki. An anxious look was fixed upon her face.
