Disclaimer: I do not own the ideas of Lucky Star. I thought it'd be rather interesting to attempt. It starts out in Kagami's apartment, and the gray line thingy shows when there's a scene shift from Kagami's surroundings to Matsuri's surroundings.
True Feelings
:…Kagami…:
The lilac-haired girl sighed as she heard her phone ring from the other side of the room. Walking toward it, she flipped it open and spoke into the phone. "Hello. This is Hiiragi Kagami speaking."
"Well, look at who's finally answering." The harsh voice on the other end was Kagami's first clue as to who it was.
"Onee-Chan?" Kagami was surprised to say the least. Most of her family had tried to contact her, mostly being her younger twin and her mother. She had never expected that her older sister would try to get a hold of her.
"You know everyone's worried about you, right? You promised poor Tsukasa you'd call at least once a week." Kagami groaned in annoyance at this thought. Had she made that promise? Yes. Did she have every intention on carrying it out? Of course. "You know she fell asleep by the phone every night for a week waiting for a call from you?"
That's just like Tsukasa… Thought Kagami to herself, pitying her little sister. "So?" She questioned, wanting to take it back the moment that word left her lips. It was meant to hurt her sister, but she felt a tug of remorse in the pit of her stomach.
" 'So?' That's all you have to say? We're all worried about you! Ever since you left for college, you've become an entirely different person! It's like we don't know you anymore!" Kagami didn't have a response. She didn't wanna respond to that. She knew it was true, all of it. But, she didn't wanna have to think of a reason for her sudden change in character. "Well? I'm waiting!" The younger girl bit her lip.
"I… I…" She began as she trembled. "You honestly think I care? Do you? I'm way too busy to get caught up in stupid family issues!" Matsuri seemed to be taken aback by her younger sister's words. Kagami whipped her phone across the room, feeling better when she heard the thump of it hitting the wall. She slumped down on the ground as she shook her head. "I don't wanna be here anymore…"
:…Matsuri…:
"F… Fine!" She screamed into the phone. "See if I care!" She slammed the phone down on the receiver, shaking in anger. Her eyes burned from the angry tears welled in them.
"O… Onee-Chan…?" She heard the quiet voice peep up behind her as she slipped her hand from the device and turned to see Tsukasa standing there, looking upset, as she had most likely heard the entire conversation. "How's Kagami Onee-Chan doing?" Matsuri walked past her sister, and stopped by the stairs that lead to the bedrooms.
"She's…" Matsuri didn't know how to word it. She didn't want anything to do with any of them? "She doesn't wanna deal with us anymore." Tsukasa's optimistic expression fell to one of despair.
"B… But Onee-Chan would never do that!" Yelled the airhead. Matsuri knew that the youngest sister was in denial.
"You don't believe me? Call her." Matsuri shook her head as she started up the stairs. "She'll tell you the same exact thing." The brunette didn't have to turn around to know her sister was on the verge of tears, but the older girl didn't turn around, because she secretly was too.
:…Kagami…:
For the next few days, Kagami had trouble getting her sister off of her mind. She couldn't explain it, but it made her feel different about things here. She sat in her class, staring at a light novel, the writing in Japanese, as opposed to everything around her, which was written in English, as was everything in America. She sighed as she took notice in three girls pointing at her and laughing. "…Freak."
"…Japanese shit." She caught a few words of what was being spoken and, from what she could hear, none of it was very nice. There was one more laugh as the bell rang, signaling the end of class. Sighing, she closed the book and stood up, shoving it in her bag. As she walked by the group, she felt her foot catch on something, sending her crashing to the ground, despite her attempts to maintain her balance. The group laughed as the lilac-haired girl flushed and pushed herself from the ground, giving the three a death-glare.
"Oh! We're sorry! Were you walking there?" The 'leader' asked sarcastically, a smirk on her face.
Matsuri… I… Kagami just forced herself to her feet, continuing past the girls as she let out a long breath through her nose, not wanting to show her annoyance.
"Hey! Wait! We wanna read your Japanese shit too!" Another taunted as she reached out and tugged on Kagami's pig-tails, pulling her back onto her bottom. The second girl grabbed her bag and went through it, in order to find the book she'd been reading. The tsundere stood back up as she turned to the other girls.
"Gimme my book." She demanded as she held out her hand, already knowing that they weren't gonna comply.
"Why should we?" Asked the holder of the book as Kagami's hand drew into a fist and, for the first time, threw a punch at the people who had wronged her.
:…Matsuri…:
The brunette sat in the bus, a blank expression on her face as she looked out the window. Why…? She wondered to herself. Why did I have to go through the trouble of coming here for her?
"We're here." Spoke the driver, pulling the older tsundere from her thoughts. "That'll be twenty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents." Matsuri frowned. How many yen was that? She shrugged.
"Thank you." Her English was pretty bad, but he could obviously understand her. She opened her wallet and handed the man driver one hundred yen. Quickly, she climbed off at her stop. When she stood on the sidewalk, she slung her bag over her shoulder and pulled out her phone, looking up the address. "Alright…" She glanced around, seeing the street sign she had been searching for, and she headed off.
:…Kagami…:
The girl gripped her arm as she stepped back into her apartment. She could feel herself ache all over—in her abdomen, her head, her limbs—they all pained her. At least she had gotten her novel back and taught the others a lesson, as they were all in worse shape than she was. She walked into her kitchen and to her freezer, grabbing a few icepacks to place over the worse areas. She relaxed in her recliner, sighing in relief as she shut her eyes, placing one of the icepacks over the bruised one. "Better…" She breathed.
"Well, what happened to you?" Asked a familiar voice, causing Kagami to grab the frozen object on her face and fling her torso from the comfort of the chair. She looked over to the brunette though one eye, as the other was almost completely swollen.
"Ah! Onee-Chan! I…" She didn't have time to reply before she was pulled into a hug, causing her to fall silent and go wide-eyed.
"You're such an idiot…" The older sister whispered. Tears came to Kagami's eyes as she slowly brought her arms up, wrapping them tightly around her sibling. That was when the tears began rolling down her cheeks.
"I'm…" Matsuri shook her head.
"You don't have to say anything… For now at least. I want an explanation later." Kagami gave a small nod. There were a few more moments of silence, before Matsuri broke it.
"Let's go get you cleaned up." Kagami reluctantly agreed, not wanting to be treated like a baby, but she also didn't wanna disappoint her sister. They walked hand in hand to the bathroom, where Matsuri proceeded to bandage the cuts and bruises that Kagami had obtained, while Kagami told Matsuri about her life in America thus far. This went on for another hour, until it finally got to be late enough that Kagami decided it was time to sleep, and made Matsuri sleep with her.
AN: So, yeah. Kagami and Matsuri are two of my favorite characters from this show, so I decided to write a FanFic about their tsundere-ness. It's most likely going to be a one-shot, but it could be an actual on-going thing with a series of one-shots on Kagami and Matsuri living together in America. Please review with your opinion.
