Secchan here. Ok, I lied, this is not the final chapter. Yay. I figured out some pretty interesting ideas for these two, so I'm gonna throw in a few more chapters. Thanks to everyone who's even bothered to read this fic. I hope you enjoyed it. I will be getting a little further in depth into the mind of Konami. I know Kagami might have seemed a little out of character in the first chapter. Firstly, Konata was having a dream about her being the dominant one basically. Secondly, I was exploring a sort of headstrong Kagami. I'm bringing in Miyuki, Misao, and Ayano now too-for good reason.. If you've never written a Lucky Star fic before. Let me warn you, it's hard. But if you're up for the challenge-go for it. Also, another thing I'm trying to accomplish is being totally random, but also with things that connect each chapter, kind of like the lucky star manga. I'm trying and hopefully succeeding.

Without further ado...

Chapter 2: Lucky Understandings

Tsukasa woke unusually early. She got up from the small bed she was sharing with her sister, silently cursing herself for drinking before going to bed once again. She flipped the bathroom light off and returned to the bed. As she cuddled snug into the still warm blankets, she noticed her twin fidgeting in her sleep. Kagami was tucked into a tight ball, she seemed mostly peaceful except for the twitching and talking in her sleep.

Tsukasa wanted to wake her sister from whatever nightmare she was having, but she quickly dismissed the thought as she remembered how angry the tsundere had gotten last time. Tsukasa turned her back to her twin and tried once again to regain her lost sleep. She was almost in the first stages, when Kagami woke with a start, uttering an all-too-familiar phrase.

"I want our bodies to be joined," Kagami whispered, as her eyes snapped open. It took her a while to adjust to her fuzzy surroundings. "I can't believe I had that dream again," Kagami groaned, as she glanced over at her sister's sleeping form, "Well at least Tsukasa didn't hear me this time." Kagami pulled the covers tightly around her body once more. God, what is she doing to me.

Little did Kagami know, Tsukasa was awake, her eyes were huge, somewhat resembling a deer caught in headlights.

Konata awoke from her peaceful sleep. As naturally expected, since she fell asleep early, she also woke up early. It was just barely late morning when she stretched and exited the quiet room. As expected from her unique family, her dad and Yutaka were sitting at the kitchen table, chatting contently amongst themselves.

"...and you wouldn't believe the stink," Konata heard as she walked through the hallway to the kitchen. Konata presumed her father was telling another one of his scary stories to her defenseless cousin. Among her arrival, Soujiro hushed his story as if Konata hadn't already heard a few times already and Yutaka seemed to sigh in relief.

After a quick breakfast with her less than unorthodox family, in which Konata explained the details of the study/sleepover party, she retreated back into her room. I'f she was expecting to show up at the Hiiragi household in time, she had to get ready quick. After much thought, Konata realized that she was never really on time for anything, unless it was an anime convention or a latest release, of course, and in that case, she was always way before the scheduled time. The short girl dressed seasonally. In one fluid motion, she ran for the door waving to her dad and Yutaka as she left.

Konata ran as fast as she could muster with her short legs. She had her mostly unused bookbag and a seperate satchel containing clothes and other neccessities-such as her nintendo ds-slung over her shoulder. She managed to catch the train in time, only to notice that it was jampacked full of eager business people and noisy teenagers. Konata fought through the crowd looking for any sign of an open seat, but to no avail. She had to somewhat wedge herself in between a group of people to keep from falling over as the train jostled back and forth.

Unfortunelty for Konata, she was still too short to reach the hanging stirrups provided in the train. Konata chuckled as she thought about how even though she was old enough to buy ero-games, her height hadn't improved a single inch since middle school. Even though Konata knew she would ultimately 'appeal' to a certain fanbase of unmentionables, she sometimes wished for that extra inch to help out in dire situations such as riding the the train. A blush crept to her face as she remembered how when she usually rode the train with her friends, she would attach herself to an unsuspecting Kagami.

When the train shimmied to Konata's designated stop, she did a quick bag check and then raced off the train into the distance. Little did she know, it had begun to rain on her short run to the Hiiragi house. At first it was a slight mist, and then, without warning, the rain poured down heavily. Konata was drenched immediately. She thanked the gods as she finally made it to her destination, completely soaked to the bone. She rung the doorbell to the twin's familiar, nice, and probably warm house.

As Konata waited, listening to the footsteps come closer and closer to the door, she contemplated her reasoning for arriving in such a hurry. What would make her hurry on to the first train, with it's limited seating arrangements? What would make her run like a mad woman through the pouring rain? What would possess her to be in such a hurry, to study of all things? Then the answer hit her, like a figurative strike of lightning, as the Hiiragi's door opened. There was a girl on the other side of that door peering down at Konata. A girl with lavender-colored pigtails and a matching tsundere attitude. The girl that made the otaku's heart skip a beat. It was...

"Kagami," said Konata, grinning wide, as water dripped down from her body. All the way, from her matted down blue bangs to her cargo shorts-there was not a dry spot on the poor girl.

"Oh, crap, Konata, what happened?" Kagami asked worriedly, as she pulled the shorter girl in the inviting house by her hand. Konata reveled in the warmth of her hand in Kagami's while the lavender-haired girl turned to shut the door, never letting go. But before Konata could answer her, another prescence made herself known.

"Kagami, is that Konata?" Kagami's mother called out, as she walked out from the kitchen, catching a glimpse of the blue-haired girl. "Oh, dear, are you okay?" Konata wasn't sure why the two were staring at her in such a manner. She knew she didn't really dress up or anything, but something must have been way off for them both to be commenting on her appearance and for Kagami to act genuinely concerned about her. Konata looked herself up and down carefully, only to realize that somewhere along the way she had ran through mud. Her shoes, all the way up her short legs were covered in the brown gunk.

"I'm fine," Konata laughed, not believing how zoned out she must have been to miss the mud. "I guess I just battled nature to get here on time." Konata smiled at the overwhelmed duo, before noticing that she was dripping in the Hiiragi's foyer and she had gotten the freshly cleaned floor dirty. "Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to be making a mess, maybe I can just go home and change real quick and..."

"Forget it," Kagami stated bluntly, as she interrupted the rambling Konata. "You're not going anywhere, besides this is a sleepover, I'm sure you brought your pajamas with you so you can just go ahead and change and clean up here." Kagami's face grew a few degrees hotter, as she adjusted her line of vision from Konata's wet clothes, tightly clinging to her body, to an ordinary house plant in the corner of the room.

"Yes, Konata, your free to use the bath," Kagami's mom added, "And please, don't worry about this mess, I'll clean it up." The oldest Hiiragi woman tightened the apron around her waist as if to emphasize her capability to get the job done. Konata wondered about the apron, until she smelled the thick aroma that was filling up the house. "Kagami, will you take Konata to get cleaned up, dinner's going to be ready soon and I want everyone to be able to join us."

Kagami nodded in understanding, as she drug the dazed girl to the bathroom. Konata felt slightly guilty about the fact that Kagami's mom had to finish getting dinner ready, as well as clean the mess that she had unknowingly made upon her arrival.

Kagami shut the door behind her as she led Konata into the large bathing area. Konata marveled at the size of it, but remembered that Kagami and Tsukasa had a big family. They had two older sisters, that were gone away in college at the moment, that had to share it with them. Konata reached into the extra satchel she carried with her, thankful that nothing inside had gotten wet. She kicked off her shoes and was unbuttoning her pants when she stopped and focused on the blushing tsundere leaning on the door.

"Hmm...Kagamin," Konata grinned mischieviously, as she caught the enamoured girl's attention. "Are you just going to stand there and watch me undress?" Konata's feline grin grew wider, as Kagami this time tried to hide the crimson spread on her face. "Not that I'd particulary mind it, of course."

"It's n-not like t-t-that," Kagami countered, as she forcibly opened the door and let herself out, "You...pervert," she added, closing the door. Kagami walked down the narrow corridor to her room. 'It's not like I meant to or anything, it's just...wet clothes shouldn't cling like that,' Kagami thought to herself, as she entered her room where the others awaited. Kagami shook oncoming thoughts of the shorter girl out of her head, as she explained to the others Konata's predicament.

"I'm the pervert," Konata said, she pulled on her pajama shorts. "Wasn't Kagamin just ogling my goodies." For dramatic effect, Konata tapped her nonexistant chest. "Maybe I just gained some experience points," Konata laughed as she exited the washroom. She was mostly dry, with the exception of her hair, which she pulled back into a rough ponytail. After Kagami's early reaction, she was proud of herself for packing a pair of semi risque pajama shorts and a tight fitting white tanktop.

She stepped out into the hallway, flipping the bathroom light off. Instead of heading to Kagami's room where the party was taking place, Konata immediately raced back to the front of the house, where Mrs. Hiiragi slaved over a hot stove. "Alright, I'm here to help, as payment for dirtying up your house, Mrs. Hiiragi," Konata stated, as she entered the wonderfully good smelling kitchen.

Fifteen minutes passed, as Kagami, now sitting in her room, putting the final touches on her homework, began to wonder about the otaku. 'Did she get lost in the bathroom or something?' Kagami thought, as she made up her mind to go and check on the girl. She told the other girls at the table that she would be back in a few and she dashed off to find Konata. She checked the bathroom first, only to find that the otaku wasn't there.

Kagami worked her way through the house and soon she heard a group of voices coming from the kitchen. She immediately recognized the voices of her mother, her father, and...Konata? Kagami raced to the doorway to try and stop whatever embarrassing story Konata was sharing her parents. Although, when she arrived, she was emotionally hit by the image that had befallen her. Konata and her mom were putting the finishing touches on the Negimaki dish they had made. They were now both wearing aprons and handkerchiefs were tied on their heads. Her father was seated comfortably at the massive dinner table, and they were all laughing at the conversation they were engrossed in.

Kagami felt tears start to form in her aquamarine eyes. She had never seen Konata and her parents take a liking to each other before. It was surprising to see the short girl interacting so calm and collectively with her parents. In Kagami's eyes, they looked like a family. She was pround of Konata for fitting in nicely with her strict, but also laidback parents. It gave Kagami hope that maybe they wouldn't mind her undeniably being in love with Konata.

'In love,' Kagami thought to herself, 'Yeah, I am in love with her. She's an irritating little slacker, but somehow deep down, I know that she's perfect for me. I could probably never tell her that though, and who's to say she even feels the same, or if she even likes girls. Wait a sec, doesn't she read yuri manga? Great, now I'm thinking too much, but what if...'

"Kagamin?" Konata called out, snapping Kagami out of her haze. Kagami glanced around, everyone's eyes glued to her as she struggled to find her voice.

"Hey there," Mr. Hiiragi called out to his daughter, "Konata here was just telling us all about you and your group's little adventures."

"I was just at the part where I tell them about how bad you are in Home-Ec class," Konata added teasingly, "Poor Kagamin's not a very domestic person." This statement earned a stout giggle from Mr. and Mrs. Hiiragi. It also made Kagami become flustered, as she tried to throw out a good comeback.

"First of all, don't call me by that embarrassing nickname in front if my parents, and also, at least I get all my homework done, which is what you should be doing right now, instead of goofing like usual," Kagami retorted, having won the battle.

"You're right," Mrs. Hiiragi said, looking back and forth between the girls. Kagami was pointing a heated finger at Konata, and Konata was nonchalantly pretending she didn't hear Kagami. "You girls should probably get back to work, besides, dinner's pretty much ready, just let the others know."

"Others?" Konata asked, taking off her apron. As far as she knew the only other people at the the sleepover/study party were Tsukasa and Miyuki.

"Oh, that's right, I didn't tell you, I..." Kagami answered, glancing at her parents, "as they call it, 'pulled a Tsukasa,' and absentmindedly forgot that I invited Misao and Ayano to study with me today, as well, since they're in my class. I figured we could all study together. "

"Ah, so now it's truly a party," Konata said, as she waved bye to the elder Hiiragis and walked off to Kagami's room where she would undoubtably find them all waiting. "Let's go, Kagami-sama!" she added, getting a head-start.

"You're not getting off the hook that easily, you're going to work, too," Kagami said, as she quickly followed Konata to her room. "And don't call me that around them either." Mrs. Hiiragi waited until she could no longer hear the two girls' voices to make a general observation.

"I think I sense what's going on here. I think I might have figured out why Kagami's been so distance, as of late," the woman said sweetly. It was only until a few minutes of unresponsiveness that Mrs. Hiiragi gave her husband a worried look. Her husband's features were furrowed with confusion. She just smiled and set the table for everyone. Sometimes her husband could be so dense.

After everyone exclaimed "Itadakimasu!" and finished eating. The girl's found themselves once again in Kagami's room, attempting to once again study. Kagami knowingly finished off the last bit of her homework, stopping a few times to help Tsukasa with her math problems or yell at Konata for slacking off, in a good way. Miyuki and Ayano tended to helping Misao finish her homework, since they had both, as generally good students, already completed theirs. Konata was no where near completion and Tsukasa had given up after all a while and resorted to scribbling the words balsalmic vinegar in the top left corner of her page.

Just as Kagami finsished her final problem, an exaggerated sigh came from both Konata and Misao. Misao was the first to speak however. She had become increasingly bored with what she thought was a party. The only reason she had come was to spend more time with a secret starwberry blonde crush of hers, and her friends, too.

"Oi, Hiiragi," Misao called out, breaking the silence. Both of the lavender-haired twins' heads popped up from their work. "Uhh, the older Hiiragi," Misao added, her enthusiasm adding to the huge grin she wore. "What do you say we take a little break from all this studying, and indulge in a fun little game."

"A game?" Kagami asked, suspiciously eyeing the fanged girl. All eyes fell on Misao, as she closed her textbook and cleared her throat, ready to explain the brilliant plan.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed, the next chapter is being written as we speak, so you won't have long. Oh, I'll give a hint-the game is not Truth or Dare, that is way to overused. I wanted to elaborate more on Konami. If you thought that something was going to happen in the bathroom-sorry, I'm teasing you, but I promise we'll be getting there. I wanted to pay respect to Konata and Kagami's parents by adding them in this chapter. There doesn't seem to be many stories where they come in to play. Also Mrs. Hiiragi seems to have some understanding about what's going on, but Mr. Hiiragi-let's just say we know which twin is more like him.

I want our bodies to be joined, the 'stink' talk, balsalmic vinegar and Ayano and Misao's yuriness shouldn't have to be explained, but if you don't know just go and watch more lucky star. All, except the last one, are pretty much there. They're still totally yuri though.

References: There were really only three: experience points come from most video games, (big duh, there). Negimaki-also called Negima- is a japanese dish-teriyaki beef strips rolled in negi. Negi is japanese for onions or scallions. Either way, I'm making another Negima?! joke here.

And itadakimasu means literally, "I receive!" It's done as a common curtesy before many Japanese meals.

Tell me what you think, and in the next chapter: The party kicks off and then the group deals with...murder? Stay tuned.

P.S. I changed the summary to make more sense. At first, I didn't write the real summary because I didn't want to give away the story.
