Here we go people. The next chapter of Konata's story!

I don't own Lucky Star

Chapter 2

The sun was up and bright, and the sky was blue and beautiful. This is the small town known as Saitama which this girl once lived in. She was a young girl with long black hair and a ribbon tied in. Her eyes were dark purple and a face truly something women would be envy for. She wore a simple one-piece dress which gave her an air of elegance. This was Chikane Asuna, a girl now 18 year of age.

Her house was currently being decorated by her parents. A rather typical family house with two floors and a garden. They said that she can go out to check the town. She was grateful that they let her because she wanted to remember everything in the town. There was one person she also wanted to see again. Konata Izumi, the otaku girl she knew back from middle school. It had been a long time since she left; she wondered how much had changed since then.

She walked down the road which she once used to go to her middle school. It brought back so many memories just coming back to the road itself. She remembers the things such as fighting over a simple game that they had, thinking of strategies to beat a difficult boss and even what they should cosplay once they head off to Comiket. It was so much fun, and man did she miss it. She continued to walk down and soon came to a house which looked even more familiar. She never thought that she would see it again. She could only smile and hope that she was still living in the house.

She rang the door bell and the intercom answered.

"Hello?" It was a rather high pitch voice yet it sounded cute.

"Hello, I was wondering if Konata Izumi is living here." Chikane asked the other person.

"She is. Who's asking?"

"Chikane Asuna."

"Asuna-san? Wait a minute please." The conversation ended and Chikane waited at the other end. That voice sounded very familiar.

The door of the house opened. It revealed the small otaku blunette with the ahoge bouncing on her head with emerald eyes and the beauty mark on her face with the famous cat-grin smile of hers.

"Chika-chan!" Konata ran up to her and hugged her.

"Kona-chan!" Chikane did the same thing. "I can't believe it's you!"

"Well you surprise me more! You look hot!"

"Well, what did you expect with a name like Chikane, hmm~?"

"I'd say it makes me want to keep you all to myself."

Chikane could only laugh. It really has been that long since she saw Konata. She looked behind and saw a little cherry headed girl with twin-pigtails standing at the door frame.

"Don't tell me that uncle Sojiro kidnapped that girl behind you." Chikane asked.

"No no, that's Yutaka, remember?"

"That's Yutaka?" Chikane walked up to her. She couldn't believe that the little girl behind her is Yutaka. "Do you remember me?"

"Ah, yes." Yutaka replied. "It's good to see you again Asuna-san." She gave a cute smile.

"Oh you're so cute!" Chikane couldn't help but wrap her hands around the little girl. "I can't believe how cute you gotten! Hey, how I become your sister instead?"

"Huh?" Yutaka could only feel awkward about it.

Chikane soon came in, after having her fun. It seemed that Sojiro had to leave on a business meeting so it meant that they had the house to themselves. Yutaka went into the kitchen to make some tea while Konata and Chikane pick up what's been going on.

"Okinawa was fun, seriously." Chikane said happily. "The beaches were so beautiful, even better was that I actually went to the same beach as the guys from the Pl**se series."

"That sounds way better than when I went to the beach two years ago." Konata said, thinking about that time. "I even had my school swimsuit on."

"Catering for the special interest I bet?"

"Yeah but it didn't work."

"Well, first of all, how old is your school swimsuit?" Chikane asked.

"My old middle school swimsuit from grade six."

"No wonder… Then again, getting lolicons isn't all that bad, I think." Chikane only laughed. Yutaka came in with the tea for them. "Thanks Yutaka. So, what's been going on here?"

Konata smile shrunk a little because there was one thing she could think about. Yutaka already knew why Konata looked like that as it was something horrible thing that happened. Chikane could feel the awkward pause. Even after not able to see her for three years, she knows when she goes quiet, then it means something really terrible happened.

"Forget I asked." Chikane said, giving a weak smile.

"Oh no, it's not a problem or anything it's just…" Konata herself gave a weak smile and laugh. "Hey Yutaka, how about you go do your own thing ok?"

"Ok Onee-chan." Yutaka got up and walked out of the room.

Chikane already knows where this was going to go now.

Konata took a deep breath before she started to explain. "Just a week ago, one of my friends just got into this really horrible accident. He's in the hospital now in a coma."

Chikane could see where this is going already. "How did it happen?"

"A car accident. There was this person he cared for, loved really. That person also happened to be my best friend as well. They both had some kind of fallout and she was running across the road. A car was coming, he ran to push her away and well…"

"I see…" Chikane was in kind of a loss. This was not a story that should be told the first day you return. "Well, I don't know who he is so, I can't really say much at this point. All I can say is hope for the best."

"Yeah…" Konata was still able to remember everything about it. "But, it feels like part of it is my fault."

Konata explained other bits about the accident which she missed out. Chikane listened to it carefully and could only feel depressed at how Konata was making it sound.

"If I haven't agreed to the plan, this probably could have been avoided." Konata said.

"I don't think so." Chikane patted her on her head, trying to comfort her. "What happened could not be your fault or anyone else for that matter. You had good intentions along with everyone else." Konata looked at her. "Cheer up, I'm sure the guy is going to be just fine."

"Yeah, thanks Chika-chan." Konata finally smiled again.

"Good. Now come on, I feel like having a walk around. I haven't been here in so long."

Chikane got Konata up from the floor and out the door. She wanted to get Konata to stop thinking about the incident for a while. If she left Konata like that any longer, chances are, it would be harder to get her out of the house. The last time that happened, she had to tickle Konata just so she could finally have a smile on her face.

The town truly hasn't changed in three years. The old playground where they spent their time playing P*k*mon against each other to see who was better and trading just to get every single one of them, the manga store which they got most of their mangas of course, even their old middle school that they used to go to as well. There were so many things for them to remember, it was beginning to be overwhelming. It really has been this long since they ever hanged out together like this.

Chikane could see Konata brighten up as they walked around the town. It was the face that she truly hasn't seen in a while, the face that showed Konata's true self. The happy, go lucky Otaku Konata. This was something she always liked about her. It was, cute, in her own right. Moe doesn't work mainly because there isn't that much moeness in the first place. But that's fine when it comes to her.

They eventually came to the same old park again and sat down on a bench. The sun was setting meaning that they spent the entire day out.

"Man, I'm tired." Konata said with her cat-grin smile.

"Same here." Chikane also smiled. "There were just so many things here that brought back all those memories."

"I know. I can't believe I've forgotten half of it."

"It at least cheered you up." Chikane placed her hand on Konata's head.

"It would have cheered up faster if you kissed me~" Konata teased though, she mentally wished she really did.

"No way little girl. That kissed is reserved for the one I love." Chikane said while looking at the setting sun.

Konata was now somehow hoping that she was that one. Her old flames for Chikane returned within the day and now, those feelings resurfaced. She decided to keep quiet and enjoy this after three years of being separated.

"I thought you would have found someone in Okinawa." Konata figured to have at least this much fun. "It is the place where romantic dreams come true isn't it?"

"Yeah right." Chikane laughed. "None of those guys had anything going for them."

"Well, no one knows how to trigger your flag except me!" Konata joked a little.

"You definitely got that right!" Chikane laughed again. She soon looked at her watch. "Looks like I better head home. It was great hanging out with you again." She got up, stretching a little.

"Yeah, same here." Konata stood up as well. She soon pulled Chikane into a hug. "Great to have you home."

"Great to be home." Chikane hugged her back, stroking her hair.

Konata took in this hug well. It truly has been that long since she felt this warmth. It was so long since she could smell that sweet fragrance that is Chikane that she wanted to immerse herself in it. She couldn't do that so she reluctantly let go of her.

"Let's be sure to hang out again ok?" Chikane asked, having hopeful eyes.

Konata looked up to the girl and smiled. "Yeah."

They finally part ways and headed back to their own houses.

Chikane was humming a song sung by Minori Chihara for the H*r*hi S*z*m*ya movie. She truly was in a good mood. Finally seeing her old childhood friend again, walking down memory lane and even gotten her to smile once again. Her head was filled of all the things that they may be doing together again.

"It really is great to be back." Chikane said as she continued down the road.

Konata herself was just as happy, finally seeing Chikane again. Her heart racing when she hugged her. Every aspect of her truly hasn't changed at all. It was everything that made she fell in love with.

"Once everything has settled down, I'll tell you." Konata said, humming the opening song from T*les of D*st*ny 2.

Chikane: I finally show myself! Man, do I sound good in this fic.

Konata: Man doesn't this feel a little sappy.

Oh shut it pipsqueak. I'm going to lose the sappiness, once I can come up with something good for the next chapter.

Well, this chapter was overall short though, I do feel that the entire story itself may be shorter than where it spun from. Ah well, as long as I can find some way to make it good.
