Yutaka awoke the next day physically exhausted from the threesome the previous night. She could feel all her muscles ache almost happily as she stretched slowly and adjusted to the dim light streaming from the window into her childishly pink room.

She looked around to see last nights companions no longer inside the room. She thought nothing of it, she had heard time and time again from Konata that Miyuki was outrageously early to school every morning and silently figured the pinkette probably dragged the tired otaku along.

After dressing in her school uniform and having a slice of toast she decided she should also make her way to the school.

Upon her arrival into the classroom she noticed something uncharacteristically odd, Minami was not in the room. Usually the girl was one of the firsts to arrive: along with Miyuki. But she was no where in sight. Yutaka then realized how little contact she had with her best friend, if she could even call her that anymore. She had never reached out to see how Minami was doing anymore or what was up or even asked to hang out. She couldn't even remember the last time they had talked!

She felt her insides heat up with guilt, like an itch in her heart she knew she couldn't scratch. An uncomfortable feeling to say the least, an unbearable was a better word for it however. However as all the other students started spilling in she pushed down her feelings, unable to deal with them at the time, so just like that class went on without Minami Iwasaki.

But only for a little over an hour.

With a sudden burst the classroom door flew open. Producing a figure none other than Minami. She looked unusually distant. Cold. Her eyes were a fiery blue Yutaka had never seen before and her hair was messy in an almost spiked rebellious manor. She adorned on her face a fat lip that caused all the attendee's to gasp and whisper upon realization.

Her cold gaze scanned the room, almost begging for someone to stand up and say something before she took her seat.

Yutaka's previous guilt flooded back at full force. Something was most definitely wrong. For though her gaze scanned the room her eyes did not once fall upon Yutaka. Even as she took the seat next to her she did not so much as glance at the girl she had known so long.

Yutaka noted a curious glance from the teacher, and watched as Minami coldly sent a glare his way, her lip turning ever so slightly from cold indifference to a snarl. She then watched as the teachers back straightened and he nervously went back to their previous lecture. 'Whats happening to Minami?' She thought quietly. Wondering how she could be so blind to her friends obvious pain.

The day passed rather slowly for her.

She noticed Minami not even bothering to pretend to be interested in the ongoing lecture, she didn't even seem to have brought her school books, or any other learning materials today.

Finally the lunch bell rang and without thinking it over Yutaka moved her desk over to the groups usual place for lunch. She saw as Hiyori and Patty glanced nervously at her, a small blush shading their cheeks. She was reminded of how she had fucked them both, and rewarded them with a sadistic an knowing smile.

She looked to were Minami's desk always was, and was surprised to see the mint haired girl not there. After a quick peek at the rest of the room she became aware that Minami was not in it. Moving so fast she knocked her chair over she exited the room, leaving the two baffled otaku's to do no more than speculate as to the situation their friends were enduring.

She quickly proceeded down the hall, seeing Minami had not gone too far to reach.

"Minami." Yutaka's voice sounded loud in the quiet hallway as she tried to get her friend to slow her pace.

"What happened Minami?" She questioned, seeing her friend had not slowed or even aknowledged her presence.

Minami gave a half turn, just enough to look at her and give her the most hatefull look of resentment Yutaka had ever seen on her dear friend. It stopped her dead in her tracks. She felt an indescribable feeling of terror at those usually beautiful and loving blue eyes as they seemingly pierced her heart. Fighting the urge to flee, she finished her step.

"What?" Was Minami's responce. It was short, with an accusing tone. Near as soon as Yutaka's foot hit the floor.

Yutaka fidgeted under her hateful gaze. "Your lip, you arnt eating with us, your late, whats going on with you?" She asked, her voice full of concern as she fought to properly pronounce each syllable under the burning stare of who used to be her protector.

Minami's responce was cold and callous, just as everything today about her seemed to be. "I should ask you the same thing. Don't follow me." She warned before making her way down the stairs.

Yutaka could feel tears in her eyes. But decided it best not to follow for fear of losing her friend completely.

She turned on her heel and ran, clean out of the back exit of the building and onto the sports field. She didn't care if she was late to class at the moment. She wanted to cool down. To feel better. Damnit she just wanted some comfort.

She slid her body down slowly under a tree, leaned back and closed her eyes for what seemed like hours, and it must have been, because when she opened them again she saw none other than Misao, Konata's friend, if you could call it that.

Misao looked at her concerned. "You okay chibi?"

Yutaka replied with a sad shake of her head. She felt awful, she dwelled on what Minami had said, how cruel and heartless she had been. 'What if Minami's like that from now on?' The thought broke her and she felt tears sliding their way down her cheeks.

"Woooa chibi?" Misao whispered, taking a place by her under the tree and wrapping her strong tanned arms around her. "It'll all be okay, I mean, I don't know whats going on but I'm sure it'll all work itself out."

Yutaka leaned into the embrace, the girls toned form reminded her of Minami's and was the perfect thing to comfort the crying girl.

"Heya- I mean if you want we can go over to my house and we could I don't know, talk more about this, I mean, I'll hold you for as long as you need." Misao offered, seeing as how her improvised snuggle seemed to calm the younger girl. Yutaka gave a slight nod of her head and just like that they were on there way, Misao lifting Yutaka up on her back, surprising the red head, who buried her face in the athletes back as she enjoyed the ride.
