Lucky Star: Angels in my Heart
Chapter 1
Hello, minna. (Blush). Gosh it's been a while since I've said that. It's brought back quite a few memories… : ) Anyway, hello. It's one am and I don't really want to go back and work hard on an old fic (though that will happen my loves) so I thought… a new one is in order. Slightly yuri, though more moe shoujo ai. Or whatever. Pardon my lack of terminology. I can't seem to think straight for the lack of sleep. Enjoy my dearies! And clean your rooms or I'll send Kagami after you! Scary. : 3

"Kagami?"
"Mm?"
"What are stars made of?"
"Of stardust"
Konata Izumi turned sharply to glare at her pigtailed friend.
"What? That can't be right." Her big green eyes squinted in frustration at Kagami's own orchid-colored ones.
Kagami smirked. Of course she knew. It was… um, it was… She frowned.
"Well, I guess I don't really know."
It was Konata's turn to smirk. "Ah, Kagami, maybe all that studying's preventing you from knowing what's really important in life."
Konata's remark earned her a stern smack in the back of the head. "And you might try picking up a textbook for once in your life, otaku".
Konata's face scrunched up in annoyance. It was such a silly and endearing gesture that Kagami couldn't keep up her argument face for much longer. She burst out laughing, tilting her head back to the sky. Konata watched her for a moment, then finally, smiled and looked up at the sky as well. The stars seemed to be smiling back at them, and Konata wondered if what they learned about stars weren't really all lies. That maybe, stars had hearts and emotions of their own, and they could see inside people and know everything about them.

"Nee-chan! Nee-chan! Look, the fireworks over there!"
"Tsukasa, I can see them. I'm right here with you." Sighed Kagami.
Tsukasa smiled, and laughed weakly. "Right, I just got a little excited."
Miyuki was smilling and giggling to herself as she gazed up at the fireworks.
Tsukasa looked over at her curiously. "Yuki-chan, why are you giggling like that? Is something funny?"
Miyuki seemed to not realize that she had been acting that way, and she seemed confused for a moment as she looked at Tsukasa. Then, she said, "Oh, I guess I was just excited and a little happy that we get to see the fireworks together this year."
"But… we see them together every year since we first met, Yuki-chan" Kagami pointed out.
Miyuki blinked. "Oh, what I meant was I'm happy being with my friends at such a beautiful place with such beautiful fireworks"
Kagami sighed, turning to slowly look at Konata, knowing what the shortest friend of hers was thinking. A moe situation. Miyuki had yet again pulled the moe card.
"Don't say a word, Kona-chan."
Konata faked an offended look. "Why, whatever do you mean Kagami-sama? I wasn't going to say anything. Whatever gave you that idea?"
--
Kagami wrapped the towel around herself and stepped on the scale.
Bam.
Kagami could feel her insides turn cold. She had gained… a pound.
And she had been dieting too!
Konata couldn't know about this otherwise there'd be no end to her teasing. Just seeing Kona-chan's face in her mind, taunting her and calling her a demon as she always did just made her blood boil.
She came out of the bathroom, a swarm of steam coming out after her. Tsukasa was sitting at the foot of the bed, reading something. She walked up to her younger twin and lightly put her hand on Tsukasa's shoulder.
"Watcha reading Tsukasa?"
"Nee-chan!"
"So, what is it?"
"Oh, I was looking at this book that Kona-chan lent me. It's a manga, actually, but it's really cute and funny. It doesn't have the usual stuff that Kona-chan ususlaly reads or like those games she plays."
"I still wouldn't trust it, comig from her…"
"Sorry, Nee-chan I culdn't hear you. You were mumbling. Could you say it again?"
"Ah, never mind. I'm going to get dressed so don't mind me."
"Okay."
--
The next day at school, the girls were gathering around for lunch. Miyuki had a worried look on her face.
"Yuki-chan, are you feeling sick?" Tsukasa asked.
"Well, it's not that."
"What is it then?" asked Konata.
"it's just… well, I've…"
"Yes?" prompted Konata.
"Ive got a denitst's appointment this Friday."
"oh no. You're still scared to see her?" Tsukasa asked, obvious empathy in her voice.
Miyuki just nodded.
"Hey, does anyone know where sensei is?"
"Why, Konata?"
"She still has my Pokemon game."
The group seemed to grow silent. But just when Kagami was about to say something, sensei walked in.
"Yo, Izumi."
"Yo, sensei."
"You weren't on last night."
"Yeah, I was out seeing the fireworks."
"Fireworks are no reason to stop gaming."
"Sensei did you stay up all night?"
"Me? Ofr course not!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll bet you were on all night, waiting for me to come on!"
Sensei scowled. "Of course not!" she repeated. "I just happened to be on and noticed that you weren't there.
"So did you recruit that new member into the guild?"
"You mean the white knight?"
"No, the goblin."
"Oh, well I couldn't bring up the courage to ask her… I was hoping you'd help me with that, Izumi-san. After all, you formed the guild."
"Whaat?! Sensei you're so lazy!"
"Excuse me-!"
"…!"
"I have no idea what they're talking about, I'm afraid," Tsukasa admitted to Miyuki and Kagami, who had stopped by before homeroom to chat with her friends, and as Sensei went to her desk at the front of the room.
"Did you like the manga I lent you, Tsukasa?" Konata smiled her little smile.
Tsukasa nodded. "Yes, I did. I tried to get Kagami to read it but she says she only reads light novels, so…"
Konata's voice took an arrogant turn as she took the manga that Tsukasa was holding out to her. "I don't expect demons to get this kind of refined literature. It's too sophisticated for that kind of-"
Kagami, looking to avoid an argument with Konata interrupted her. "Ah, Miyuki-chan! So, when was your dentist's appointment?"
"This Friday after school. I'm going to be stopping by on my way home," she said, sounding more depressed than ever.
Konata, who was looking at Kagami said, "Why are you afraid again?"
Miyuki sighed, and it was so despairing, the three girls looked on in deep sympathy, waiting for her response. "It's the very act of going that is frightening. I hope I don't have cavities… and the pain."
Konata's eyes shone very dangerously at the last word.
Kagami sighed as she could just imagine what Konata was thinking about right now: Miyuki with her cute little eyes and face, her mouth wide open to the dentist, tears runnig down her eyes and little sounds coming form her mouth as the dentsist put his or her hands in the pink-haired girl's mouth. In other words, the moe that Miyuki naturally portrayed, according to Konata.
"Not exactly. The moe comes from her being scared of going to the dentist. The other one is just plain perversion, Kagami. You have such a filthy mind." Smirk.
Kagami blushed furiously. "Get out of my mind!"
--
After school, the girls were walking out of the building when Miyuki said that she had to get home to take care of some errands with her mother. Tsukasa was going home with one of her other friends, and so this left Kagami and Konata alone. They stood waving to the pink haired girl and Kagami's twin as they both went their own ways, then sighing in the sunset orange of the late afternoon, they looked at each other.
Kagami felt pink on her cheeks at being alone with the person that she argued with so much. "So, kona-chan, wanna go to the bookstore with me? I had to pick up this novel that I ordered."
"sure, then can we stop by this other store, I ordered something there too."
Kagami nodded. "Alright."
--
At the bookstore, Kagami picked up her book and decided to look around a bit. She even followed Konata to the manga section. Konata's manga wasn't there, but Kagami frowned at her weak will to not purchase another one that was part of her collection. After they left that store and went to the store that Konata needed to go to.
As they stood at the entrance to the stoor and the slider door opened, allowing the girls to see inside, Kagami felt a chill down her back.
It was an otaku store.
Before Kagami could form a proper reaction to the situation. Konata quickly jumped out of nowhere onto Kagami and dragged her with one hand over the pigtailed girl's mouth under a table set up with clearance books.
"Be quiet or he'll see us! Shh!"
Kagami opened her mouth under Konata's hand to bite it but something in what Konata said stopped her.
He?
