Let's start this off with some replies. But first: Oh my god, people are reviewing! And they think it's interesting! I'm ecstatic right now, thank you. Anyway…

-Gigarot
Thanks for the info, I edited it accordingly. Also, Kagami: Who is she like? So far, the only ones I can think of are Azusa from K-on and Ayano from YuruYuri.
One of the themes of this fic was actually told by Kagami in the previous chapter. Can you guess what it is? (Fun fact: I got most of the themes while browsing tumblr in the middle of the night)

Grammar correction noted. I have a hard time looking for typos and such so it's a good thing people think to point them out. Thanks. Pacing is something I'm working on. I'm having trouble finding that balance. OOCness? Yeah, pretty OOC I guess. I toned down most of their personalities. It's easier for me to make natural enough reactions to certain situations.
Also, yes I have self-esteem issues, but I tend to ignore them, else, play them for laughs. It's a coping thing, don't worry about it.
-Guest #2
I don't speak Spanish or anything but I used good-ol google translate.
Yes. I'm also interested to see where this goes. I don't plan for this to go one for that long, but I don't really have any other plan than that.

Now… on to the story!

LUCKY STAR

The bell signaling the start of lunch resounded throughout Ryoo high. It was then that two girls began walking towards the nurse's office.

The girls in question were Yutaka Kobayakawa, and Minami Iwasaki. Minami was going to administer Yutaka's medicine and check her temperature and blood pressure.

"So they started dating?" Minami asked offhandedly

"Yeah. I think it's wonderful!" Yutaka said

Honestly, Minami wasn't really interested in the newfound relationship of Konata and Tsukasa. It wasn't something she was taught to be interested in. "The affairs of others are theirs and you should respect that" was what she'd learned as a child, so it's not surprising that Minami was not comfortable with talking about it with Yutaka.

They reached the nurse's office. Yutaka walked to the bed and Minami walked to the nurse's table, both of them having done this before.

"Here drink this" Minami handed Yutaka a glass of water and her medicine

"Thank you Minami" Yutaka drank the medicine and returned the glass to Minami

Minami took the glass and took it to the sink at the back of the room and washed it.

Yutaka sat on the bed, twiddling her fingers

I want to tell Minami that I want to try dating as well… but it seems like she's not interested in dating… Yutaka lamented.

Minami walked back to Yutaka's bed, carrying an electronic thermometer and blood pressure meter. She strapped the blood pressure meter onto Yutaka's arm and inserted the thermometer into her ear.

After a beep, Minami removed the thermometer "Temperature's normal." She checks the blood pressure meter and then removes the strap. "Blood pressure is normal as well"

"Thank you Minami" Yutaka said glumly

"Hey now, why do you sound so down?" Minami asked with concern

"Well I've been thinking…" Yutaka looked down sadly but then looked up with a determined expression. "Minami"

"Yes?" Minami was taken aback.

"Will you go out with me?"

"…" Minami stared at Yutaka, face growing hotter and redder with each passing moment. "Uh…"

How am I supposed to react to this? That was so sudden. Minami asked herself. I guess I'm not exactly against it…

"Yutaka… I-" Minami wasn't able to finish as the door was opened violently by a student carrying a pale and bloody Minoru Shiraishi

"Nurse Fuyuki! We're gonna need some help!" The girl shouted

"Oh, Kusakabe, what happened to him!? Get him on the bed" Nurse Fuyuki Amahara ran to the two to help Minoru to the bed

"I don't know. He fell on his face and sort of started bleeding. It doesn't look like its stopping." Misao said, obviously distressed.

"Iwasaki, get the health officer of 3-B! Kobayakawa, this may get bloodier than you'd be comfortable with. Please leave, for the sake of your appetite."

"Yutaka, please listen to Nurse Amahara" Minami said as she left for room 3-B

"Okay. I'll see you in class" Yutaka said, not quite sure what to feel. She turned towards Minoru "I hope you get better Noru-kun"

The began walking back to her classroom

LUCKY STAR

"Well, it looks like lunch is over. I guess I'll see you guys later" Kagami stood up and walked out of Konata's classroom

Kagami saw Minami walking rather quickly towards her, before stopping in front of the door to Konata's classroom. She knocked, and then entered. A few seconds later, she emerged with a red haired girl Kagami recognized as the health officer for Konata's class.

Huh… must be important. Shrugging, Kagami walked into her own classroom. Whatever she has to do, I wish her luck

Kagami took her seat and wondered. I wonder where Misao is.

LUCKY STAR

"Hey, Yu-chan" Hiyori Tamura asked as Yutaka arrived at the classroom just as the bell rang. "Where's Minami?"

"Oh, she's helping Nurse Amahara tend to a boy who's bleeding to death" Yutaka said nonchalantly

"Oh…" Hiyori couldn't think of anything to say. How can she be so casual with it? Don't tell me… OH GOD SHE MUST BE A YANDERE OR SOMETHING

Once again, Hiyori overreacts and ends up making a weird face.

"Hiyori? Are you okay?" Yutaka asked with concern "Was it something I said?"

Yes, it's something you said! Oh my god, I can't take this!

LUCKY STAR

Lunch was well beyond over when Misao returned to her classroom, looking more than a little worse for wear.

"I'm sorry I'm late Miss Sakuraba. I sorta had to do something at the nurse's office" Misao said with an apologetic smile

"I'll say. You look like you jumped in a blood bath." Said Sakuraba Hikaru, biology teacher and homeroom teacher of 3-C

"Eh…?" Misao looked at her uniform. Blood caked her clothes. "My god!"

"Change into your PE uniform" Miss Hikaru said offhandedly as she returned to her lesson

With a sigh, Misao picked up her PE uniform and went to the bathroom to change.

LUCKY STAR

In between classes, Miyuki walked up to the class health officer and asked about Minoru who had not returned since lunch

"He was sorta hospitalized" The girl said

"Oh dear. Was it serious?"

"To be honest? It shouldn't have been. It was just a nose bleed. For some reason, though, we couldn't get it to stop." Frustration evident in her voice, the girl continued "He was losing a lot of blood - nearly three cups by the time he passed out. That wasn't enough to kill him, true, but he won't be feeling good when he wakes up."

"That's rather alarming. I do hope he gets better"

"I'm more worried about that Misao girl he was with. She apparently tripped him by accident and is the reason he got the nose bleed" the girl said "Most people would get traumatized for causing someone to get hospitalized. She seems to be taking it well though."

The teacher walked in and the next class began

LUCKY STAR

After Miss Kuroi dismissed the class, Tsukasa receive another text from Kagami saying that she would be busy today as well.

"I don't really think she's busy, but I think she's giving us some alone time" Konata said as they changed their shoes at the front of the school.

"Oh, let me get that for you" Tsukasa, helped Konata open her shoe locker and switched the school shoes for her outside shoes.

"Thanks, Tsukasa. I've always hated that they put my shoe locker so high. I always have to tip toe to get the locker open"

"Don't worry, Kona-chan. If you need help I'll do what I can" Tsukasa said helpfully

"Hey…" Konata whispered as she dragged Tsukasa behind the shoe lockers

"What is it?"

"Those two" They peeked from behind the locker and saw Yutaka and Minami walk outside together. Konata narrowed her eyes in suspicion

"What's wrong? Is something unusual about them?" Tsukasa asked in confusion

"They weren't talking. Yutaka looked really nervous as well" Konata noted. "Let's follow them"

"But…"

"Don't worry. Kagami gave us this time to be alone right? Let's start by doing this. Tell you what, next time we get a chance like this, we do something you want to do."

"Er… okay…"

LUCKY STAR

It was the end of class for the school day but that didn't mean everyone would start leaving. The track team would begin afternoon practice in fifteen minutes. As such, Misao was performing warm ups and stretches.

Misao spotted Miyuki walking up to her

"Heya, Yuki-chan" Misao said

"Good afternoon Kusakabe-san" Miyuki greeted

"Please, call me Misao" Misao asked with a smile

"Ah… Sure. Hello Misao-san"

"So, I'm guessing you're asking about Shiraishi?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

"Lucky guess?" Misao shrugged

"Er… well…"

"I don't know what happened after they took him to the hospital." Misao said "But I'm pretty sure he'll be alright."

"Oh… well, I hope you're right."

"So ya feeling the hots for him or something?" Misao teased

"Hmm…" Miyuki thought about it "You can think of it like that, but I don't see it that way"

"Wow. Didn't really think you'd take it seriously"

"Moreover, I'm worried for my friend's safety. I dislike most forms of injury and sickness. I'd rather have no one suffer."

"Hey, no one likes injury and stuff like that. Sometimes it just happens… It looks like practice is starting so I have to go now. Here's hoping Shiraishi comes back in one piece, eh?" Misao grinned before sprinting to the crowd of track runners that was forming on the far end of the field.

Miyuki waved goodbye before walking back to the school building, which got Misao wondering.

Why would anyone go back to school after it ends?

LUCKY STAR

"H-hey Minami… where are we going?" Yutaka asked as she followed Minami

"To a playground near the school" Minami answered

Earlier, Minami had asked Yutaka to go with her to somewhere after school. Yutaka happily agreed.

They had reached the playground. Minami sat on one of the swings and Yutaka sat on the other.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Yutaka asked

"Well…" Minami began nervously "I'd like to say yes… I'll go out with you"

Yutaka stared at her "… Eh?"

"… Earlier you said you wanted start to going out…"

"… oh" Yutaka suddenly exploded in a blush "uh-uh-uh. Thanks."

"… You forgot about it?" Minami asked

"Eh… I guess I did. It didn't seem like you were going to say yes. You were really unreadable when I asked you" Yutaka looked down.

Minami stood up. "Don't worry, Yutaka. If it's you, it's fine" She reassured Yutaka with hug.

"Thank you" Yutaka returned the hug "Does that mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

"Well…" Minami was not quite sure how to react. "… both of us are girls so there wouldn't be a boyfriend…"

"Oh… That makes sense"

LUCKY STAR

Kagami was back at the library, idly flipping pages through her text book. She had all but memorized the entire lesson, so technically there was no reason for her to be studying, here she was, all because she needed to get away from Konata and Tsukasa for a while

"Hello Kagami-san" Miyuki happily took seat at her table.

Kagami looked up to see Miyuki across the table. "Hey, Miyuki-san"

"I take it that you're still trying to digest the fact that they're dating?"

"Yeah. It was unexpected, I'll give them that" Kagami closed her book and rested her head on her arms "I'm happy for them I guess" Kagami said wistfully

"Is something wrong?" Miyuki asked

"I don't know Miyuki…" Kagami shifted in her seat "Part of me is genuinely happy that they're together now. Another part of me… not so much…"

"Well, we're in a quiet environment with not that many people and I'm ready to listen. If there was any time to talk about it, now would be a good one" Miyuki said helpfully

"… Well…" Kagami pondered a bit "I just feel so weird right now… When I look at the two of them I feel like there's this lump in my chest that makes it hard to breathe, but at the same time, I feel this warm bubbly feeling that makes me giddy."

Miyuki just nodded along

"A-and sometimes… I feel this… this irrational rage. When I think of them being together, I sometimes just get so angry. At Konata; at Tsukasa; at myself. I don't know, Miyuki…"

Miyuki was slow to respond "…I'm… not very good at emotional help… and I'm only familiar with one of the feeling you described… but I HAVE read many books on psychology, and when I think about the way you describe it… I'd say you're in love and you're jealous of them"

"… what?" Kagami sat up, confused

"Perhaps you're in love with Konata, or someone else, but when you think of Konata and Tsukasa, you feel very frustrated that the one you love doesn't reciprocate your feelings"

"… Oh"

"This is all guess work, Kagami. I may have read books about psychology, but I'm no expert."

"… actually… it makes sense…"

"Huh?"

"I must be in love with Konata"

"Kagami, please don't put too much trust into what I said. There is a large possibility I'm wrong" Miyuki pleaded

"No. I don't think you're wrong Miyuki. Look back on the times we've shared with each other. Even back then, I was in love with her"

"… hmmm now that you mention it… Oh my, its rather obvious looking back isn't it?"

"Yeah… Kind of embarrassing to be honest…" Kagami said with a blush as she realized this.

"You WERE closer to her than any of us" Miyuki noted

"Yeah… Does she know?" Kagami wondered

"If she did, I don't think she ever showed any indication of it"

Kagami sighed "I get the feeling that if I asked her before Tsukasa did, she would say yes…"

"Hmm… I get the feeling that would be how all of us would be." Miyuki said

"What? Why?"

"Well…" Miyuki began "Most of us are rather inexperienced when it comes to love and romance. If given an opportunity, we would jump at it."

"Eh… sounds a bit farfetched" Kagami said skeptically

"Hear me out. If Konata-san asked you on a date, would you say yes?"

Kagami blushed "I… well… I'd… maybe… yes…"

"If I were to ask you on a date would you say yes?"

"Well… Why not, I guess?"

"If Misao-san were to ask, would you say yes?"

"Wait, how do you know who… never mind. Yes."

"If Shiraishi-san-"

"Alright, I get it - get it. I'd say yes if someone asked… but no, I wouldn't say yes to just anyone. I think Minoru's a weirdo, so…"

"As I've stated before, he's actually a nice guy"

"Okay, fine. He's a nice guy – still won't make me want to date him more than I already do."

"So what are you going to do now? We could always try dating. We both want to know what it feels like, but both you and I know it would only be a distraction from the one you feel an attraction to" Miyuki stated bluntly

"…" Kagami thought for a while before laughing "Wow. Everything feels so much clearer now but I still don't know what to do"

"Do you feel better, though?"

"Well… I don't feel as bad now. Thanks Miyuki"

"What are friends for?"

With that Miyuki stood. "Well, I'll be going now. I have a show I'd like to listen to today that I hope is not cancelled."

"Really?"

"Yes. A friend recommended it."

LUCKY STAR

"Man those two were cute" Konata commented on Yutaka and Minami's pairing up as she sat on top of the monkey bars.

"Yeah" Tsukasa agreed as she swayed back and forth on the swing.

"Theirs was so different from ours." Konata said

"You're right. When I asked if you'd go out with me you said-"

"'Wow, all it took was a single flag', right?" Konata said, complete with the over exaggerated voicing. Tsukasa laughed.

"I didn't expect someone else to start dating because of us." She said curiously "Is it true that Yu-chan asked you for advice on how to start dating someone?"

"Yeah. She seemed a bit different ever since she found out about us" Konata noted "Kind of like when doujin authors mischaracterize anime characters in their works. Kind of weird seeing it in real life though."

"Eh?" Tsukasa didn't understand

"Come to think of it, nearly everyone's changed ever since we started dating." Konata noted "I didn't think it would happen so quickly. It's only been a day since we started"

"Um…" Tsukasa still didn't understand what Konata was saying.

"Oh…" Konata noticed how confused Tsukasa was "… Sorry. I was just talking to myself."

"Don't worry Konata. Just because I don't understand doesn't mean I'll stop you"

"Hey, don't think I won't stop trying to get you to understand. I may be weird, but I want us to be able to understand each other"

"Oh… okay"

"Hey, now. Don't feel bad. We'll understand each other better the longer we're together."

"Okay."

"So… wanna go to Gamerz?"

Tsukasa smiled "Sure"

[And that song was brought to you by Studio Shaft. One of the opening themes for Bakemonogatari called Sugar Sweet Nightmare.

Hello, I am Minoru Shiraishi and welcome to…]

[LUCKY CHANNEL!]

[I will be your navigator today since Miss Akira has HER day off today. I had mine yesterday and she picked up the slack for me so I've gotta put in as much effort today as I can!

Also, on a side note, earlier today, I had one of the most terrible nose bleeds I've ever had. Had to be hospitalized and missed half the school day. But I'm fine now so no need to worry!

Now, let's start off today's lucky channel as we always do! Our next song is brought to you by Media Factory. Baka Go Home, the ending theme from the first season of Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts. Enjoy!]

"So how did your friends react to learning that you're dating" Miki Hiragii asked Tsukasa as the rest of the Hiragii family ate dinner

"Well, they were really happy for me. Although it was a bit embarrassing since Konata shouted to the entire class that we're dating…"

Tadao swallowed the curry he was eating. "How did everyone react, then"

"Well, there was a mix of praise and… people complaining that they were jealous and…" Tsukasa was trying hard

"Don't forget the boys who apparently had crushes on Tsukasa crying their eyes out." Kagami joked, earning a laugh and chuckle here and there

"Sis, that's not nice" Tsuakasa said

"Not nice, yeah, but it's freakin' hilarious" Matsuri laughed

Tsukasa frowned and continued eating

LUCKY STAR

"OH MY GOD THEY GROW UP SO FAST!" Sojiro was cried tears of joy upon hearing the Yutaka and Minami began dating

"Jeez, dad. Cry anymore any we're gonna have a flood" Konata deadpanned

Yutaka sweat dropped

"Good evening. I'm glad you could come over, Honoka" Yukari Takara, mother of Miyuki greeted Honoka Iwasaki, mother of Minami.

"Good evening. The pleasure is mine" Honoka said

"Good evening, Minami-san" Miyuki greeted Minami

Minami responded with a nod.

"Well… why are we just standing here? Shall we eat?" Yukari gestured to follow her to the dining room. And follow they did.

After a few minutes of quiet eating, Honoka started a conversation. A very embarrassing conversation, in the case of Minami

"I have great news." Honoka began. "Minami is now in-item with someone"

The news was met with surprise looks followed by congratulatory praises from the Takaras – more so from Yukari than Miyuki – and an intense blush by Minami.

"That's wonderful." Yukari said "So who's the lucky boy?"

"Oh, if you found Minami's acquisition of a significant other surprising, you'll be even more surprised who it is" Honoka said with a certain pride that made Minami head all but explode in a shower of blood from her embarrassment.

"She's actually with a girl" Honoka continued "Her best friend in fact. A certain Yutaka Kobayakawa"

Yukari seemed to falter a bit "Well… I guess you were right. I did not expect that"

Miyuki looked at her mother, somehow worried

"Ah, such is the way of things" Honoka said. "Young love is a strange beast"

"Young love indeed" Yukari agreed "I hope it works out with them"

Minami and Miyuki, not quite sure how to react to how their parents were talking, glanced at each other, probably hoping to find the answer by looking at the other. Alas, it proved useless as both did not understand their parents' behavior.

Resigning to the fact that they would not find out why their parents talked the way they did, Miyuki and Minami ate in silence as their parents continues talking about whatever topic they found interesting.

[Hello, Shiraishi Residence. Minoru speaking]

[Hey]

[Oh, Miss Akira. This was unexpected. Good evening]

[… Yeah, good evening… So I heard the Lucky Channel broadcast earlier… is it true you got hospitalized…?]

[Er… Yeah. I'm fine, though. As long as I don't do PE tomorrow, I'll be able to come to work.]

[… Oh, that's good… Um… Yeah, you better come to work. If I have to pick up your slack again, you're gonna regret it.]

[Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, Miss Akira.]

[… okay then… bye… you better show up]

[Good night Miss Akira]

LUCKY STAR

[Takara residence, Miyuki speaking. How may I help you?]

[Hey Miyuki-san]

[Kagami-san, good evening]

[Evening…]

[So what's on your mind?]

[Well… you know how I realized I was in love with Konata earlier today?]

[Yes.]

[The thing is… I want to get over her. Do you think you can help?]

[Oh dear… Well, I've never been in love so "getting over" a love would be difficult for me to help with.]

[It's okay. For some reason I don't want to ask my parents so I'll be fine with you… That sounded offensive, I'm sorry]

[Relax, Kagami-san. Now… as I said, I'm not quite sure how to go about this, but maybe it'll help if you find out when your attraction to Konata-san started.]

[… well… hmm…]

[Take your time, Kagami-san. There's no need to rush.]

[… I guess we'll just continue tomorrow?]

[If you want to]

[Alright, let's continue this tomorrow… let's meet at the library after school again?]

[Very well. Goodnight, Kagami-san]

[Goodnight Miyuki-san… and thanks]

[Anything for a friend]

So yeah, short chapter this time. Still haven't found a good pace for the story though. I must work on not sucking so much.

BTW, if you guys haven't figured it out yet, my favorite characters are Misao and Minoru. So that's a little biased considering they're the only side characters who get a ton of content (at this point, about as much as the main characters). Don't I have great prioritizing skills? Hahaha no I don't.

So anyway, Typos, grammar mistakes, plot-holes. If you spot any, it'd be helpful if you guys tell me about it. Reviews are appreciated.
