"Onee-Chan! Onee-Chan! It's time to wake up!" The reliable younger sister Ui yelled up the stairs, before climbing them after receiving no more then silence from her Older sisters room.
The girl responded to the calls to wake by rolling over, mumbling what sounded like a content "five more minutes" and snuggling into her warm sheets.
"Onee-Chan I understand you want to sleep, but you need to go to school." Upon hearing nothing back still she added; "You wouldn't Azusa-Chan to be angry at you for not coming to practice right?"
With that the girl who was moments ago curled up warmly in her bed shot up quicker then the blink of an eye. No! Never! Ui~ what do I do?"
"Well I would say you should get ready for school before you're too late."
"Ryoukai!" Yui shouted, throwing up a rapid salute and dashing to the bathroom to get changed.
"Ahh Onee-Chan…what am I gonna do with you?" Ui asked herself shaking her head humored by the girls response.
"Well I guess it's time to head to school." HTT's most loved member said to herself, getting up from the chair she was sitting in.
After throwing in some pink ear buds and putting on one of her favorite songs "Fuyu no Hi" to be exact, she walked downstairs, put on her shoes, and stepped out into the warm weather that was present that day. Being the first day back from summer break it was still warm, but nothing compared to the scalding heat of the August sun. Walking down the road she thought about the event's of that summer break. And although certainly not the biggest thing that happened that summer, but the one that stuck out to her the most was the incident on the train back home that one day.
But of course the same thing could be said for Ritsu. She tried to get it off her mind, but it just wouldn't stay. No matter what she did she couldn't stop worrying about what Mio thought.
"Hey Ritsu!"
"Wha!…Oh hey what's up?"
"Not to much, beautiful day huh?"
"Yeah…"
"You know Ritsu-"
"Hey Mio-"
"Oh you can go first."
"No no, really it's fine what's up?" Ritsu spoke, nerves racking her brain. 'She's gonna be angry isn't she…she will…'
"Well you know that time before on the train…with the manga…"
"Yes!?" Ritsu stopped walking and stood stiffly.
"Well…what was that supposed to be?" Mio asked. "I didn't know you liked uhh…those manga."
"I…don't you see this guy recommended me this manga and I didn't know what It was about and by the time I read it, it was to late…" Ritsu responded, explaining herself away as much as she could.
"So you don't like umm…those kinds of relationships?" She asked blushing red as a tomato.
'I can't actually tell her right? I need to act like a normal person…normal, yes normal.' She thought to herself before speaking up. "No of course not. Why would anyone like something like…that?"
"Oh…I see"
Next there was Nodoka, Student Council President, and a good friend of the girls. Though mostly through getting Ritsu to fill out the paper at the last second, or the pleading of her friend Yui to have her join them.
"Is everyone here so far?" She asked, counting all the student council members carefully.
"Everyone is here Nodoka-San." Said one of her higher ups, walking up to her with a clipboard.
"Good, now as always we need to start working on all of our morning duties. On the blackboard you will find you're name assigned to one of the tasks for this morning." She finished, pointing over to the blackboard. When all the girls went to do their work she took a small break. Deciding it best to rest a moment.
"Man this year is gonna be harder then last isn't it? Especially with it being my third year…I'll have to leave all this behind too…"
Next there was Azusa, the well mannered, yet quite type A Kouhai that Yui can't seem to get enough of. Being the junior tho does have it's problems. One of them being that she'll have to say goodbye to her friends in a year. But who said she needs to worry about that now? No one of course.
Grabbing her Muttan off it's wall hook, she zipped it up in her bag and left her house, having decided to get up early did have it's benefits for sure. One of those being the time to relax and enjoy the nature. Or so she thought…
"Yo Azusa!" Yelled a voice running up from behind her.
"Oh, hey Jun."
"What's up ? You look annoyed to me."
"Nothing nothing, just same old. Trying to figure out a better way to combat Yui-Senpai's hugs."
"I would say don't fight them…you know you like them anyway dontcha?"
"I do not!" The girl responded, the pigtails shaking with her head as she tried to hide her blush.
And last but no least was Tsumugi. Getting off the train she began walking towards the school. Finding her mind wandering to the events of last summer she began to lose herself in her thoughts a little. The first night…she'll never forget that. The night she tried to jump out the window, that'll probably stick with her forever as well. But what she does know is that now…her friends are safe. And for her, that's all that's important.
Reaching the school, she stepped inside, enjoying the cool AC as she removed her shoes she walked down the hall to her homeroom. For her seeing the girls she cared so much for being able to live their regular lives? That was a blessing.
Ring~ Ring~ Ring~
'Who on earth is calling me now?' Tsumugi asked herself grabbing her phone from her pocket and flipping it open.
"An unknown number?" Answering the phone she gave a confused "Hello?"
"Help! Tsumugi-Ojousama! He's trying to catch me! You need to help me! I didn't mean to break all that stuff! Not the car, or the counter, or the glasses, or the painting, or the mirror…"
"Oh dear what are we gonna do with you…Mitsubishi-Kun…"
Peace. It's a dream of a way to live. A way of life so many people try so hard to grasp for, so many fall short of, and so many wonder if they will ever get. But I must ask you one question. If our life is peaceful. If our life knows no troubles. Then do we not lose the meaning of peace? For without suffering, one can't tell the difference between good and bad. And for this one girl and those around her, this couldn't be more true. The life many of them took for granted for so long, they're normal lives, have become so much more then that.
The Hirasawa girls parents ended up going to a year long rehabilitation program, where they could be helped by professionals and grow into better parents. Yui herself came to realize just how much she has. And just how much people really care about her. And Mitsubishi-San? Well we don't really know what happened to him, but that's not a big deal. So let me ask you one more time. At what point is an angel really broken?
The End
Hey everyone! Thank you for reading by first well, I don't want to call it a fan fiction. But I don't really know what to call it. I guess you could say it's a miniature novel based off of the K-On world and characters.
Whatever you want to call it, I never thought I would reach this point. I never thought when I started it, when I brought up the idea to my friend SanbonJime, that I would be writing this right now. That I would be finished with this story. But here I am. I guess it really shows anything is possible if you put enough work into it.
I also found that the characters really matured and grew in their own ways. I don't really know how to put it. When this project began I wanted to have it be strictly a deconstruction of the mental framework of Yui. But it turned into so, so much more. Mugi became such an amazing mother figure, and I hadn't even planned that. Half of this stuff was me sitting on my writing laptop, typing out some words, and seeing where it would lead. And I guess this is where it lead.
Again I want to give a huge thanks to SanbonJime for keeping me from dropping this project or never finishing it. As well as for helping me with ideas when I was creatively drained. For all the help really. Thank you so much.
I really hope that you enjoyed my work, and that the future might be filled with more stories and works as well. As for me, I'm out of here for now, but until I see you next…See ya!
The Sakura Dragon
