Disclaimer: I do not own the ideas of Lucky Star.
So, I decided to continue this after all. I don't really think it'll be too popular, but I have some ideas, and they might be pretty decent. It'll show more sisterly love between my favorite Hiiragi sisters! Yay! Lemme think… In the last chapter, when Matsuri was on the bus, I was gonna make it a taxi, so that explains that dollar amount that I forgot to change. And I apologize for any grammar and spelling mistakes. I hate the English language. Anyway, enjoy.
A Fate Encounter
:…Matsuri…:
The brunette walked outta her sister's room, where they had had to fight over bed space, considering the fact that the older of the two had refused to sleep on the couch, and Kagami giving an argument that that was her apartment, so they both wound up on the floor several times over the course of the night. Stretching as she walked into the kitchen, she gave an exaggerated yawn, making it obvious that she had just woken up.
"Hmm…?" She muttered to herself, as she glanced to the side with just her eyes, seeing a note on the counter from her sister.
Onee-Chan-
Went to my classes. There's food in the fridge. Be home in time for dinner. Don't go out without me. You know your English sucks, and you're gonna get lost.
-Kagami
Matsuri sighed as she picked the note up, rereading it as she scrunched up her nose and walked to the refrigerator and opened it, revealing a hideous looking dish that Kagami had made. "Ugh… Kagami's cooking…" She muttered as she stared at it for a moment before shutting the door and smiling. "This just won't do."
Her thought process working quickly, she walked to the door and grabbed her coat, slinging it over her shoulders. I won't be out for too long. I'll just get some food and get home. She'll never even know I was gone.
:…Kagami…:
The lilac-haired girl sat in the middle of her class, a blank expression on her bruised face as she stared at the board. She couldn't help but worry-knowing her sister she would ignore to her note and get lost while aimlessly walking around. "Ms. Hiiragi." Kagami jumped, not expecting to be called on.
"Y… Yes sir?" She replied nervously, knowing her teacher had caught on to the fact that she wasn't paying attention.
"The question. Can you answer it?" The tsundere began fidgeting, as if she could just squirm away.
"No sir…" She replied as the teacher shook his head, giving the answer to every one and pressing Kagami to pay more attention in class. She nodded, agreeing as she began focusing on her studies.
:…Matsuri…:
What was good? What restaurants served good food? Thought the woman as she glanced around looking at signs, finally spotting one that read… 'Dinny's'? No. That wasn't it. 'Denny's'. She nodded, walking toward the building, reaching for her wallet as she stepped through the doorway.
"Table for one?" Asked a cheerful looking woman right off the bat. Matsuri tried to break down in her mind what exactly was being said, and when she translated it, she nodded. The other lady, noticing that she was foreign, lead her to a seat, and spoke again slowly. "I'll be right back." Matsuri nodded, reacting a little bit faster to the slower speech.
After several minutes, a man walked over to her table and started speaking to her in Japanese. He looked to be a rather handsome man, dark brown hair and a set of deep blue eyes to go with it. His build was slightly muscular, and he appeared to be a little on the tall side.
"Hello. My name is Riku, may I ask what you would like to drink?" Matsuri nodded, and ordered a soda, speaking her native language, as she was confidant this man would understand her. "Ok. I'll be right back." Matsuri nodded as she began to space out, staring out the window, remembering last night, after she had dressed Kagami's 'battle wounds'.
:…Flashback…:
Kagami spoke into the phone, tears in her eyes as she did so. "Tsukasa… I'm so sorry I didn't call before now… It's just… It's just…" She couldn't find the words to describe the way she felt without being to harsh about it, and couldn't find the heart to be harsh. "Never mind…" She sighed, closing her eyes for a moment, so she could clear her mind.
"Look… I'll call you one week from today, and that's a promise." She nodded a few times. "Yeah. Bye, Tsukasa." She closed her phone and sighed as her sister walked into the room, feeling proud of her little sister for calling.
"Nice job, Kagami." Matsuri said with a nod, stepping forward as she placed a hand on the younger one's shoulder. There was a pause. "Now what're we gonna do about sleeping?" They both looked at each other, then down the hall, in the direction of the only bedroom. Matsuri beat Kagami to the punch, shoving her to the floor before sprinting down the hall toward the other room.
:…Kagami…:
The girl ran from school, her only class of the day having concluded early, she wanted to get home as fast as possible. Matsuri… I swear I'm gonna kill you if you're not there…
:…Matsuri…:
Matsuri's meal having been finished, she sat back in her seat, awaiting the return of the waiter. She sighed as she looked out the window again, seeing many people coming and going, seeming to never stop, even for a moment. Her mind slipped into submission, allowing her a moment of serenity, before being pulled back by a familiar voice.
"Are you done with that?" She whipped her head around to look at the owner of the voice, only to see Riku. She nodded as he took the dishes. "So." He began, smiling. "Are you new to the city?" The brunet nodded.
"Yeah. My sister is attending a college here, and I came to check up on her." Riku nodded, looking around.
"So. I'll get outta work in a few minutes, want me to show you around town?" Matsuri seemed reluctant at first, but upon realizing the fact that she had absolutely no idea where she was, she shrugged.
"Sure. Why not?" His smile widened as he nodded.
"Alright. Here's your bill, and I'll be right back." Matsuri nodded, knowing it'd be good to have someone to show her where to go, that she would actually be able to understand.
:…Kagami…:
When the girl had gotten home, she wasn't surprised in the slightest to see that the girl had made her leave, and even less surprised to see that the food she had made hadn't been so much as touched. Groaning in annoyance, she turned around and trudging back outside to search for her sister, before the older one got herself in trouble.
:…Matsuri…:
"Yeah. I moved here from Japan when I was about ten, and since then, I've gone to school here and everything. I'm still fluent in Japanese, as you can tell." Matsuri shrugged, keeping her distance. The reason she was with him right now was for no personal reason. It was merely to find a way home, and to get used to the city.
She looked to the side through half-lidded eyes, avoiding eye contact. It didn't take a genius to see that she didn't wanna talk, so he just stopped as they both continued walking in silence.
:…Kagami…:
She wandered around the big city, taking a second glance at anyone who looked even remotely like her sister. Gah. Gotta find her.
She sighed as she continued to look around, and decided to take a detour to the park, when she came across her sister, walking with someone she had never met before. "Onee-Chan!" She yelled, speeding up, so she could catch up to her sister, who turned around, only to find herself face to face with the lilac-haired girl.
"Hm? What're you doing here?" Asked Matsuri, a blank demeanor on her face.
"I could be asking you the same thing!" Yelled Kagami in return, glaring at her sister. "C'mon. We're going home." Matsuri shrugged as she looked to Riku.
"Thanks, Riku." She spoke as Riku pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to the girl.
"Here. It's my number. Call me sometime." Matsuri shrugged, yet again.
"Sure, I guess." She turned to her sister, who's jaw had dropped, but she quickly regained her composure and turned, walking off with her sister following in pursuit.
AN: So, yeah. There's that. Didn't do too great of a job in portraying Matsuri's character.
