DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN LUKCY STAR T^T!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I-I'm a guy!?" Kagami couldn't believe what was occurring.

"This…this is impossible!" She mumbled to herself rather loudly, still facing the mirror with desbelief.

She blasted out of the bathroom before any of her sisters could come in and see her. Of course, no one would believe her if she told them she turned into a guy, much less at school! They'll just think that this "guy" kidnapped the REAL Kagami--this was turning into a very troubling dilemma…

"6:40 a.m., I've only got about 20 minutes left until everyone wakes up!" Kagami stated in an urgent tone as she glanced at her alarm clock.

Knock Knock

Crap!

"Nee-Chan…Are you alright? I heard a loud 'THUD' right after you shut the bathroom door," Tsukasa finished with a yawn, her voice coming from the other side of Kagami's door.

"U-Um," Kagami's voice came out all raspy and tough, just like a guy's.

Oh, no, my voice is just like a guy's! I can't talk to Tsukasa in the state I'm in right now...ugh…what to do? What to do!? Kagami thought desperately.

She attempted her best "girly voice" to deceive Tsukasa and make her go away. Of course, that didn't really work out so well.

"U-uh…I don't feel so well today, Tsukasa. I'm sorry but you're going to have to go to school without me. P-please tell mom that…I'm coming down with a fever! I-I mean a SORE THROAT!" Kagami couldn't help her stuttering.

"O-okay, I'll tell her… But at least now I know why your voice sounds so weird…" Tsukasa sighed, relieved.

Was my imitation of a girly girl THAT bad? I'm offended…Kagami thought.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come inside? Just to see how you are?" Tsukasa asked one last time, hoping to catch a glimpse of her sister before heading off downstairs.

Kagami cleared her throat. "N-no, thanks, just go to school, okay? Take care!"

"Alright. Bye Bye! Get well soon." And with that said, Tsukasa headed over to the bathroom to get ready for school, along with her other sisters.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sigh…What am I going to do now? Kagami was worried about the troubles she may face if she didn't find a reasonable explanation for all this.

"Mom, I just went to sleep yesterday and found myself to be a male the following morning. You understand, right?"

"Sure thing, sweetie! Why don't we go out to the mall and buy you some manly clothes now that you're a guy?"

"Alright!"

Tch, well I can check THAT option out, Kagami thought.

She went over to the closet door and opened it--it had a mirror, human body long. She checked herself, now, as a boy: she had dark purple hair, not crossing the "neck-line" limit for an average guy at school; same color eyes, rough skin, and much to her dismay, she was flatter than before.

She now looked like your typical cute guy. Crap, I can't fall in love with myself…It'd be pathetic…

She then realised she was still in her pajamas, all yellowy and pink combined, it was so girly, and now, as a guy, it did NOT look right. She changed as quickly as possible, trying to find the most "boy-like" clothing she possessed in her closet. She found a pair of girl jeans and a blue shirt. She decided to cut her precious jeans to turn them into short jeans, which would be more guy-like. After doing so, she was now ready--for what? She didn't even know herself.

She waited patiently until all her sisters were gone, headed for school. It was now 7:50 a.m., they had to be gone by now, right? Kagami headed out of her room; wearing a dark-green cap to add more to the guy appearance she had to give off.

Now she stood at the door, hand on the doorknob, ready to make her escape. sooner or later her mom would come into the room to check on her and her "sore throat."

"Kagami, is that you?" Came the mom's voice from the kitchen, she was making breakfast for her husband, the only one left since her sisters were gone. Her mom was by the kitchen faucet, so she was unable to see Kagami. "Aren't you sick? Where are you going?"

"U-um…" She cleared her throat, once again attempting the poor imitation she had of a girly-girl voice. "I-I'm going out for a bit, I feel a little better. I won't stay out too long, I promise!"

"Okay, honey," She approved, still in the kitchen without being able to look at Kagami "Just take care okay?"

"OKAY!"

And so Kagami was off, both from school and her house.

Meanwhile at school, it was already lunch time.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Tsukasa, Miyuki, and konata were all in an awkward silence, Konata decided to start off the conversation, it was getting too weird.

"Kagamin sure is late," she commented.

"O-oh, Onee-chan wasn't able to come, she has a sore throat, and fever, or the flu, maybe?…or is it the other way around? He he, I forgot." She smiled nervously.

"Hmm, that is certainly strange, I don't think we're in the flu season yet. Has Kagami-san gotten all of her necessary shots?" Miyuki asked, concerned.

"Hmm, you make her sound like some kind of animal, Miyuki-san. Although, you may be partially right, Kagamin can sure be wild sometimes," Konata said slyly.

"U-uh, I-I didn't mean it that way!" Miyuki apologized, bowing numerous times. "I'm sorry." She was blushing now.

"Ahh~ still so moe." She had that lazy look on her face again.

"But I'm sure Onee-chan will be just fine by tomorrow!" Tsukasa reassured, though not really certain herself. "If you want, you can come visit her today after school."

Konata's face suddenly lit up, and her lips formed the usual grin. "Alrighty then, it's settled, we'll go visit her after school!" Konata made it clear by putting her little fist on her chest, eyes sparkling like golden stars.

"Y-yes, that would be quite nice, I will attend, as well," Miyuki politely offered, setting aside her lunch.

And so, the trio continued on with their lunch, unaware of what poor Kagami was going through at the moment.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"U-uh…"

Kagami was standing in front of the public restrooms.

"B-boys'," she said, pointing at the door with the blue stickman at her left. She then turned to her right and directed a finger at the door with a pink stickman wearing a skirt. "G-girls…"

This was indeed a very troublesome dilemma.

I-I don't have to go THAT badly. I-I think I'll just hold it in for now…

With that thought, she headed for the park. The trees were as green as always, everything was the same, the benches, the birds, the kids, the whole park, all except for her. Kagami was feeling a little down now. She sat down at a nearby bench. She didn't know what to do, as a boy, how was she going to go to school? Talk to her family about it? How was she going to date? And worst of all…HOW WAS SHE GOING TO ATTEND HER PERSONAL HYGIENE NEEDS WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK AT "THAT" SPECIAL PART ONLY BOYS HAVE!?

She was so troubled by it that she became tired. So tired she didn't even want to get up from her seat.

"N-no…I can't fall asleep now…not--" She wasn't able to conclude her sentence because she fell asleep halfway through.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ahh! School is finally over!!" Konata let out sighs of relief, now completely relaxed, "Now, to visit Kagamin! " Konata was excited; she couldn't wait to see her friend.

"Oh, my, it's getting late! We have to hurry or the train will leave us!" Miyuki informed, alarmed.

"L-let's go!" Tsukasa said, grabbing her backpack.

When they were out of the school building, they felt little droplets of water fall upon their heads, and the sudden change of the course of the wind.

"Ahh…it's raining…," Konata said, kind of happy about it actually; she opened her mouth to receive the little bits of water that fell down from the sky.

"I-Izumi-san I don't think you should do that, according to books, rain is not healthy for humans to drink unless it's tested, because pollution may have infected it," Miyuki informed, a little concerned for Konata's well-being.

"Ahh…You worried about little old me Miyuki-san~ that is TOO MOE!" Konata said in her usual teasing tone.

Miyuki blushed; Tsukasa remained clueless as to what had just taken place. She then snapped out of it, and took out her umbrella.

"H-here, guys, you can use mine," Tsukasa offered, opening the item up with the press of a button.

There was a moment of silence. Both Konata and Miyuki were staring at the umbrella and at Tsukasa intently. Then they realized the umbrella was only big enough for two people.

~Silence~

"U-um, I don't mind not having an umbrella!" Tsukasa said, smiling nervously, trying to ease the mood,"I-I think I can manage, plus if I get sick, it won't really be much of a loss, I'm already behind in classes anyway. He He."

Konata kept staring at Tsukasa; they were still in the building."Nah! I'll be the one to go on without an umbrella. You guys go on ahead!"

"W-why, that's so kind of you Izumi-san, thank you", Miyuki said gratefully."But, if I may ask, why don't you want to use the umbrella along with us?"

Konata looked deep in thought for a minute, and then she turned back around with her usual cat-like smile. "Because Then I'd be cheating on Kagamin, my eternal umbrella partner."

And with that said, she walked off ahead of the two, leading them to the train station, covering her head with her school bag, and smiling all the way. Tsukasa and Miyuki just followed under the same umbrella trying to keep up with the little blue- haired girl.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kagami, while still in the park, was asleep, until a certain droplet of water landed and evaporated atop her nose. She instantly woke up, shaken up by the cold. She found herself sitting on the bench, she looked up to see that the tree above was dripping wet, that the sky was turning grayer and grayer by the minute, and that the rain would start pouring down even harder.

"Ugh! I fell asleep just like an old lady! How pathetic can I be?" She chastised herself.

She stood up, took a random turn to her right, and started looking for a place where she could hide from the rain, but couldn't find any. She was too distracted in trying to find a place where to cover herself, that she didn't notice the rock that was right in front of her, about two inches wide and two inches long. She tripped.

She was now on the wet, muddy, play ground. SHE WAS MAD! Especially because she had fallen in a pond.

"THAT'S IT!!I'm totally joining the angry mob that goes after the weatherman with pitchforks!"

She was so annoyed by it that she closed her eyes, hit the pond with her fist, and tried to let all her anger out just by doing that, which of course only got her wetter.

She opened her eyes to stare at her ugly, depressing, mad self. At first all she saw were wavy lines and some little circle waves forming whenever another droplet of rain fell in the pond. She couldn't quite make out what the reflection was showing, but she then was able to see it…a girl.

Kagami was flabbergasted. But then she started to feel overjoyed! She couldn't help it. She was too happy. But then she realized her clothes were still "boyish" and you could see right through her shirt, she knew that as a boy she wouldn't have to wear a bra but now, as a girl…As she thought, happiness could never ever last THAT long for her.

She stood up, covered her chest by holding her arms, and ran toward the little playhouse that the park had built for the children and hid in there, waiting for the rain to stop, still wondering how she turned back into a girl.

Konata and the others had now gotten themselves off the train and headed for the Hiiragi household.

They were delayed by the rain, but they got home safe and sound. Still, Konata was soaked.

"ACHOO!" Konata wiped her nose with her sleeve. Looking kind of a reddish-pale.

"K-kona-Chan, are you alright?" Tsukasa asked, concerned.

"Yes, Izumi-san, you don't look so well," Miyuki added.

"No worries, I'm-ACHOO!" She wiped herself, again, with her sleeve. "I'm just fine."

Mrs. Hiiragi came and draped a wamr towel over Konata's shoulders, and gave her some hot cocoa. Konata thanked her and drank a bit of the hot beverage. Then Miyuki set down the umbrella in the closet.

"May I ask to see how Kagami-san is doing?" Miyuki asked for permission politely.

"Yes, indeed you can," Mrs. Hiiragi led them upstairs and opened the door to Kagami's room, what they saw next shocked them.

No Kagami, just an empty room with a pile of clothes to the side of the closet, and some scissors right next to the mountain of clothing.

"W-where's Onee-chan, mom?" Tsukasa asked, stuttering nervously.

"This is definitely weird, I was so sure that she-" Then she gasped, having just reminisced what happened the last time she saw Kagami ("saw" in a way).

"WHAT!?" Konata asked, forgetting her manners and demanding an answer.

Mrs. Hiiragi was definitely left speechless by Konata's reaction to her daughter's disappearance, but she decided to ignore it and take it as Konata being worried sick over a friend.

"Well, I remember this morning that Kagami said she was going out," she recalled, "so I let her go but told her to be back soon and to take care, at the moment I was at the kitchen making breakfast, so I couldn't really see what she was wearing or if she looked sick, so even if we try and find her now, since we don't know what clothes she's wearing, it'd be like looking blindly for her."

Everyone was worried: Mrs. Hiiragi, the Hiiragi sisters, Miyuki, and Konata.

Konata didn't give it a second thought and bustled out of the room, ran downstairs, put on a coat that was one size too big for her, and opened the door ready to leave, but was stopped by Kagami's father.

"And where do you think you're going at this time of night, young lady? You could endanger yourself if you do things without thinking," said Kagami's father rather calmly, with a smile on his face to let Konata relax a little.

"Isn't it obvious?" Konata replied. "I'm going to look for Kagami."

He saw the look of determination and concern in Konata's eyes. He knew nothing would stop her, she was indeed a loyal friend, and so he gave her an approving look, and got out of her way.

"Then by all means, do so," he said.

"Thank you," said Konata with a smile.

When she was about to get out of the house, he stopped her again with his arm. The little otaku was getting annoyed by now. She was thinking of doing the awesome anime kicks, but then decided against it.

"You will indeed contribute in the search for my daughter, but you're not going alone. We'll all help!" He smiled yet again. Then he gave her an umbrella.

Konata brightened, and finally got to look for Kagami. The others were getting ready to look for her too, but Konata was already far ahead of them, running desperately to any random place looking blindly for Kagami.

Meanwhile on the phone...

"Uh-huh….yes….yes….I would like to report a missing child. Name: Hiiragi Kagami, she has lavender hair, crystalline eyes…" and Mrs. Hiiragi kept on describing the situation to the Police Department.

Now everyone was out looking for a lost Kagami, who was in the park's playhouse waiting for the rain to stop, and attempting to decipher the usage, benefits and cause of her newly-gained ability.
