A/N: Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
Hiiragi House
Miyuki and Tsukasa stood at the front door. "Miyuki would you like to come in?"
"Okay," she answered.
They went inside, Matsuri saw them, "Where have you been all day?"
"I was out with Miyuki. Why, is there a problem?"
"I guess you haven't heard than."
"Heard what?" Tsukasa started to sound worried and Miyuki's mind drifted elsewhere.
"Don't tell Kagami that I told you but I heard your friend set up Kagami with a date."
"A... date?" Tsukasa couldn't believe it. "Kagami?... How did you find out?"
"Well your weird friend's dad came over here earlier asking for some of Kagami's clothes."
Tsukasa decided to leave the subject at that and went to her room with Miyuki in tow.
"Did you hear Miyuki? Kagami went on a date."
Miyuki just nodded with a smile. Tsukasa went over to her desk and grabbed a piece of paper. "Here are those fuel recipes," she started writing on the paper. Miyuki sat down on Tsukasa's bed and picked up a stuffed animal. A small object fell out the back.
"What is this?" Miyuki picked up the rock like object.
"Oh don't worry about that it's just a smoke bomb."
"Why is it inside you bear?"
"Well I couldn't find a better place to them all."
"All?"
"Well there are three dozen bombs hidden in my room."
Miyuki gave her surprised look.
"I had a lot of materials left so and I didn't want to waste it all."
"What are you going to do with all of these?"
"I don't know yet but I'll figure something out."
Kagami entered the room with, face flushed with red.
"Hey Kagami."
"Hello Kagami-san."
"What's wrong sis?"
"Apparently Konata set me up on a date now Matsuri..." she mumbled words best not said in a barely intelligible manner, "...besides that I'm fine." She began to vent her anger on one of Tsukasa's defenseless stuffed animals.
"Are you sure? Would you mind not tearing my bear in half." Tsukasa asked with a kind voice.
Kagami looked down at what she was doing. "Sorry," she loosened her grip on the bear, "What's in this this thing it's not very soft."
Tsukasa just shrugged and took the bear. She fluffed the bear and put it on a shelf. "Why don't you take a bath? It will help you feel better."
"Yeah I think a bath is what I need after what I went through today," and with that Kagami left the room.
"Miyuki here's the recipes," Tsukasa handed the paper to Miyuki.
"Thank you, Tsukasa-san."
"Just call me if you don't know how to get something. Would you like something to eat?"
"No I'm fine I should go home before my mother starts worrying."
"Okay I'll walk you out than."
They walked out to the front entrance.
"Bye Miyuki."
"Bye Tsukasa-san," Miyuki left.
A bit later
Tsukasa knocked on the bathroom door, "Hey sis can I come in?" She heard the door click and some splashing.
"Come in," her sister called. Tsukasa went in and sat on a stool.
"Do you feel any better?"
"Kinda. I was pretty mad earlier."
"I know you almost tore my bear in half.
"Sorry again. I wasn't think clearly."
"What happened that made you so mad?"
"Well Konata told her dad to tell Mom and Matsuri that I was going on a date. So he could get some of my clothes."
"Why would he need some of your clothes?"
"To give to me to follow you..."
Tsukasa looked panicked " Why would you follow me?"
"I don't know, it was Konata's idea, besides we lost you and Miyuki on the train." she lied and shuddered at the memory of Miyuki and the flamethrower.
Tsukasa noticed Kagami's shudder, "Are you okay?" she said sounding much more relieved.
"I'm fine," she wasn't, the image of Miyuki was forever burned into her memory like a cattle brand.
"Okay than I'll be in my room if you need me." She flipped the light switch on her way out.
"Hey!"
"Sorry," Tsukasa quickly flipped the switch and left.
Tsukasa made her way back to her room closing the door behind her. Her back slid down the door as she let out a sigh of relief. For a moment I thought she found out. I need to be more careful from now on. Tsukasa walked over to a shelf and picked a teddy bear off a shelf. She stared at it for a long moment taking in all the small details: the eyes, the fur, the paws, the stitching. She looked at the stitching holding its back together. "I'm sorry," she said to the bear before undoing the stitching. Tsukasa dug through the cotton and uncovered several small shapes.
Tsukasa pulled a match out from a box sitting on her desk. She opened her window, lit the smoke bomb and threw it as hard as she could. Smoke began to rise in the distance. She felt tingly inside seeing the smoke. Maybe I could make these in different color. She picked the cookbook and started looking through the pages. The page she stopped on contained information on how to make color smoke and how to mold shapes. I'm want to try this tomorrow. Maybe Miyuki will come with me. She looked at the clock and sighed. It's still too early to go to bed. I think I'll go take a bath. I wonder if Kagami is out yet.
Tsukasa walked out into the hall to see if the bathroom was open. She quickly ran, in case someone else wanted to use the bathroom. The lilac girl turned on the water and adjusted the temperature accordingly. She stuck a toe in the water to check the temperature before fully immersing herself in it. Tsukasa let out a deep breathe.
She let her mind drift. She remembered her first success with the smoke bombs as well as the plastic explosives and flamethrower. Tsukasa's mind drifted further, new ideas started to form: such as a C4 smoke bomb or napalm shooter. She also started thinking about to build a land mine. Her mind drifted even deeper, thoughts about her friends and family emerged. Tsukasa thought about everyone she knew and their possible reactions to her hobby. The reaction she feared the most belonged to her sister Kagami. Tsukasa knew her sister was prone to extreme fits of anger, but she shuddered at the thought of what might happen if she found out.
Someone knocked on the door. It scared Tsukasa into an upright position. "Are you going to sleep in there? It's already midnight," Kagami called to her sister. Was I in here that long? She looked at her hands. They looked like prunes. "Ah. I'll be right out!" she called to her sister. Tsukasa pulled the plug in the tub and wrapped a towel around herself. Kagami waited impatiently outside the door. What's taking her so long? The door opened. "It's about time you got out. Matsuri began to think you drowned in there."
"I'm sorry sis. I fell asleep in the bath."
All of a sudden Kagami felt her sister's prediction too far off. "It's okay just get to bed. It's a school night."
"You too sis."
"I know I just needed to use the bathroom."
"Good night sis."
"Good night."
Tsukasa and Kagami went their separate ways.
A/N: Think of this as a teaser of what's to come. Insert evil smirk. And I'm thinking of adding another bomber.
