ONEXSHOT Potential yuri slash? R&R! Constructive criticism but NO FLAMERS!
Author's Notes: My first Lucky Star Fanfic / Anime themed fanfic in general! Please don't be too harsh, no flamers, but positivity and not so harsh- critique please? :) Thank you! If I get 3-5+ reviews, I'll continue this. If I don't, back to the drawing board!
I don't own Lucky Star anime. Kyoto Animation owns it!
Konata walked through the shelves and racks of video games at her favorite store in all of Kasukabe. She had over 15 manga books in her basket & she felt like her arms were about to fall off.
"Hey squirt, want a bag for those?" a cash register asked once she got to the clerk stand. "Nah, I'm good. And quit hating on us short people, we have feelings too you know!" Konata said as she walked out the store flamboyantly after paying with her long blue hair flowing behind her.
People immediately started staring at the short girl with a large stack of books in front of her face.
Barely half way to one of her best friend Kagami's house, and she felt like she was carrying a ton of bricks.
"Why do you torture me so Shoujo-ai?!" Konata whined to the sky as she reached her destination.
She ringed the doorbell with her teeth and yelled "KAGAMI! TSUKASA! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
She heard Kagami and Tsukasa run down the stairs at the same time.
"We're coming! Keep your pants on Kona-chan, geez!" Kagami said without the slightest bit of friendly bitterness.
Tsukasa opened the door with her cutesy little smile and welcoming charm. "Hi Kona-chan! Come in, come in. If you want anything, just ask okay?" she said as Konata entered the room and finally setting her books down while letting out a heavy sigh.
"Seventeen mother flipping books. Damn those cutesy girlie couples, if only you knew twinnies, if only you knew." she said laying down on the mat near the living room table.
The three of them sat cross legged next to the fan and closing their eyes embracing the cool wind on their faces.
Konata picked up one of her manga books from the pile on the floor near here and laid next to the Hiiragi's fan like she was one of their own.
She always did come over whenever her dad was busy with his otaku needs just like her.
Her dad was always lax, and her cousin Yutaka is always hanging out with her own friends.
She started reminiscing about the times when she was the shortest girl out of the bunch and being so flat chested that she just had to be proud of it.
As time went on and as Senior Year passed, she grew to be 5'1 and finally passed 4'10!
Her physical appearance changed drastically with her changing up her blue hair and cutting it to be just ever so slightly above her kneecaps since she nearly tripped and fell during graduation because of her hair. Most embarrassing moment of her life. But throughout it all, Konata would always be the shortest one of the bunch.
Kagami, curious, then picked up one of Konata's mangas with two male lovers caressing each other on the cover.
She 'accidentally' opened the book, blushed and thought in her mind, 'Why do I find this so amazingly hot?'
Tsukasa caught her twin sister reading the book. "Kagami! What are you doing reading yaoi? I thought you hated it with a burning passion. I thought you told me that a few weeks ago.." she said innocently.
The whole time Kagami was trying to shut her sister up in front of Konata.
She didn't know why but she always felt way close to Konata, possibly in a more than a friend type of way.
Even if she did love to pick on her, and be like her tutor, she really did love Konata a lot, just like she loved her twin dearly...even if she was so nosy and innocently annoying at times.
"Kagami! Answer me ne?" Tsukasa said getting annoyed, herself.
Kagami fixed her now slightly shortened medium purple hair back into a ponytail after it dried since she took a shower before Kona-chan came and the heat was bothering her intensely besides her sister being a nuisance.
Now Tsukasa was always such a quiet girl in her late middle school and early high school days.
She had such a cute petite look to herself back then. After being called a "Shadow to Kagami", she hated it, especially because she was in fact and definitely looked like the younger twin.
She decided to change herself after hearing that name far too often. She became more outgoing, started being slightly more of a nuisance towards her twin, as well as growing her hair out longer and ditching her little bows after how many years of having them on her head.
Her twin finally spoke up, "Just shush Onee-chan! Goodness.. you don't know when to stop!" Tsukasa fell back, "Alright fine, but you're getting a beat tonight on this!" Kagami just giggled and picked up a textbook instead.
Konata finally spoke up after the longest silence. "Wow, she really does want him.. things girls do for sex." she said very straight-forward.
Kagami felt like her face was contorted into a strange feature as gloom went upon her. "What.. the.. hell.. Kona-chan...?!" she said as she put her face in a pillow and rapidly blushed and turned 'red like a cute little tomato' in a bushel.
Konata turned to Tsukasa as they stared at their friend/sister act entirely awkward.
Miyuki let down her hair and shook her head.
She had just recently dyed her hair a light blond color and finally got over her fear of contacts.
She tried really hard to get over her phobia since she didn't want to look so innocent anymore.
She also had some very crooked teeth before she got her teeth done. She had a very great fear of dentists as well, poor girl.
"Hayaku Miyuki-chan!" Miyuki's mom hurriedly asked. Her mom was always so patiente, kind of clueless actually, but still a very loving mother. She wasn't a hippie, but she was very easygoing. Very. "You're going to be late for our appointment!"
Miyuki put on her shoes and walked down the stairs of her large home.
She was always the quiet, smart (not as smart as Kagami though) and mighty adorable Miyuki the gang knew and loved.
Konata even noted multiple times that she was very proud of Miyuki's 'largest in class' chest as Kona-chan was flat chested herself. She found this very...awkward of Konata. I mean seriously? Seriously. Her chest? Goodness.. what is the world coming of?
Miyuki and her mom went inside the car where they were going to be leaded to the nail salon.
"Ugh, mom, I'm seriously tired. Today was so exhausting, you have no idea." she said letting out a heavy sigh.
"Well, you don't know how boring it gets inside that house of ours, nothing's ever on the television." Miyuki's mom replied staring out the window, looking at the road ahead of them.
"At least we're rich though mom," Miyuki said as she started her head down on the other seat of the car, "We have Sebastian the butler from Australia to help us with our stuff."
She then thought about their new housekeeper. He was rather young, early 20's, clean face, it seemed like she had seen him somewhere before...
At that moment the car made an abrupt stop at their destination.
Miyuki and her mom got out of the car and strutted down the concrete way towards the opening door of the salon.
"Hey ladies, the usual!" Miyuki's mom said loudly as she entered the store.
"There's that prissy little bitch again.." one of the ladies said as they got their nails done. "You think we like her either?" the manicurist said while rolling her eyes at Takara-san as the two sat down waiting for their appointment.
"Well, it's getting kind of late." Konata said as she stood up from her position and put away her book. Just then she thought of something.
"Oh hey, I've also been wondering.. where's Miyuki been?" Konata always drifted her thoughts off like that.
Tsukasa and Kagami just looked at each other and frowned. "We haven't seen her either. I think she's been hanging out with her mom more. I mean seriously, she's changed. Last time I saw her, she was waving an almost tearful goodbye with something in her hands during graduation with that ever so adorable smile on her face, but it seems it has... changed a little." Kagami said with such a depressing tone in her voice.
Tsukasa finished for her, "I mean, without her glasses and her old light pink hair.. she seems so barbie doll now." She knew she had changed herself, but she was still that innocent, cutesy Tsukasa on the inside, who STILL feared horror movies. Whenever Kagami mentioned them... not everything was as dry anymore.
"Aw, I miss that big chested girl.. I didn't even get to say goodbye during graduation because I didn't want to leave our school..I didn't want you guys to see me at my...worst ever possible state of emotion." Konata said while she kind of whimpered.
Kagami couldn't help but chuckle a little. "You? Cry? Kona-chan, you barely ever are sad. The last time I saw you sad... was when they ran out of the Digi Charat Volume 4 manga at Gamers! And you weren't even that serious either!" Kagami exclaimed loudly.
"Well.. you have a point there 'Kyo-sama' & no I'm not over it yet." Konata said with a bit of mischievousness in her voice.
Kagami then chased Kona-chan around the room until it turned to 30 til' dinner time.
"Whoops, gotta go, See ya' Tsukasa, Kagaminnn!" and as fast as she came in, she dashed out with her books in hand once again.
"There she goes again." Kagami said, grinning to herself joyfully.
Konata reached her home in record time. She layed her books spread out on her bed and then ran down the stairs.
"Kombawa Otou-san!" Konata beamed as she sat at the dinner table. "Sorry I'm late, i was at the Hiiragi's place hanging out with the twins."
Konata's Dad looked up from his paper which was hiding Shojo-Beat Magazines behind them. "It's fine, as long as you're home now. How was it? I saw you with the biggest stack of manga I've seen in all my life." he said while dramatically saying, "I'm so proud!" as he shed a tear of pride amongst his daughter.
"Dad, you're being melodramatic again!" Konata complained evidently at her father.
"I can't help it, I just am." he said after looking back at his 'papers'.
"Okay, you know what Dad?" Konata said as she revealed his magazines in his lap. "I knew those were there the minute I walked in this room, you can't hide anything from me anymore old man, I'm a high school graduate now!" she said rather proudly.
He blushed with an embarrassing feel and put his magazine on the dinner table.
"Well, I'm off to play MMORPGs upstairs in my room, call me if you need me!" Konata said as she zipped up the stairs.
"She's growing up so fast!" Konata's dad once again said dramatically, shedding ONE last dramatic tear.
