Minami lay, her arms wrapped around Yutaka's waist as she snuggled against Minami, her head
on her chest. The two were in a peaceful daze that afternoon. Unaware of the blue haired
menace lurking just around the corner. Yutaka turned her head upwards toward Minami, gently
gazing into her ocean blue eyes before slowly closing her own and leaning in, her heart fluttering
faster than a thousand butterflies. There lips got closer and closer as Minami followed suit. But
before she could reach her loving destination they were frozen by a noise and several clicks
from a camera. Both of them leaped apart from each other, eyes wide open as they sat there on
the bed, stiff as boards.
"YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS" shouted the tiny otaku as she left the room with a long strut.
Leaving Minami and Yutaka sweating and mentally scarred as she shouted from just down the
hall "PURE MOE GOLD I can't wait for Hiyori to see THIS!"
To this outburst Minami burst from the bed and charged down the hall, Hiyori could definitely not
get her hands on those. She shuddered at the thought, the only worse people to have those
pictures would be the one currently holding them, and her father. It was close, obviously Minami
had a height advantage, but Konata was fast, and she really did NOT want to give up those
pictures.
Seeing Minami tail her Konata made a split decision to change direction. Instead of heading for
her door she dashed down the stairs. Thundering downwards towards the kitchen with Minami in
hot pursuit. Minami was closing in as Konata rounded the table. She was trapped. Minami's eyes
narrowed in determination as she held her arms out, ready to catch the blue haired lolli no
matter the direction she came. Konata knew she was traped, and her expression showed it,
giving Minami a triumphant feeling in her chest. But the feeling left as soon as it had come.
Konata gave out a proud smile, as though she knew she was a step ahead, wavering Minami's
confidence. Konata, hopping upon the table, ran straight at Minami. Causing the younger girl to
flinch. Konata took the opportunity as it appeared before her, flipping clean over Minami's head, a
smug cat like grin on her face. She wasted no time in her landing and dashed right back up the
stairs.
After a moment of shock and surprise, Minami shook her head, clearing it. She must not think of
how outmatched she was. She must get that camera. In a flash she was up the stairs, new flare
in her bright blue eyes. Minami slammed open the door only seconds after it was closed. Just in
time to see Konata sneaking out of the window and climbing up the side of the house. Minami
looked out the window, seeing Konata's foot just barely leave view on the roof. Minami climbed
upward, just as thunder crackled close and storm clouds rushed in overhead. She had reached
the top, seeing Konata looking over the edge, perhaps looking for something to jump towards.
Minami knew there was nothing.
"Give me the camera" She demanded, her voice quiet but strong, reaching out her hand for the
small device as it started to rain. Konata looked around in desperation, finally to see a stranger
across the street, one whose hoodie covered their face. They had been trying to cross but
apparently due to heavy traffic were unable and instead had resorted to waving their arms
around like a maniac and hopping up and down excitedly. Konata looked back over at Minami.
Clear defiance in her eyes.
"Never" she whispered as she flung the camera in direction of the cloaked figure who reached
for it in utmost anticipation. Only for it to meet a car head on, and burst into hundreds of little
pieces before their eyes. At the sight both the figure and Konata dropped to their knees.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Konata wailed.
"Um pardon me Izumi-san, do you need any help down" asked Minami, her face back to its usual
stoic self as she had apparently already started her descent to the window and only her head
was still up.
"No, leave me" Konata mumbled before falling flat on her face.
To which Minami climbed the rest of the way down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In a place long forgotten~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ummmm... where did they go?" asked Yutaka, who sat on her bed in a confused daze.
