Sorry for the late update. Some decided to drop the massive college bomb on me. Anyway, here we go.

I don't own Lucky Star

Chapter 10

Miyuki had been looking for Jack for a while now. She and he made a deal that he would tell her everything that had happened while he was here. She had noticed several things happening and wanted some answers as this has a lot to do with her friends. She also wanted to speak to Kagami as Konata seemed depressed as she wasn't willing to tell her anything. She walked towards Class 3-C, in hopes of finding him. When she did, she only saw Kagami, resting her head on the table while Misao and Ayano were trying to cheer her up.

"Oh come on Hiiragi, tell us what happened." Misao spoke in her rather loud voice. "Please, I'm beggin ya, say something or else I'll get depressed!"

Miyuki approached them. "Hello everyone. What's going on?"

"Oh, Takara-san hi." Ayano greeted the pink beauty. "Hiiragi-san has been really depressed since she came in."

"Oh my." Miyuki came up to Kagami. "Hiiragi-san, are you alright?"

"Leave me alone Miyuki. I'm not in the mood today." Kagami spoke, still burying her face in her arms.

"Did it have something to do with Izumi-san?" Miyuki hit the mark as Kagami buried her head even more. "Hiiragi-san, what happened?"

"Please Miyuki, not now."

Miyuki didn't want to stop but, it wasn't until she noticed that Jack wasn't anywhere here. "Where's Rassler-san?"

"He didn't come in today." Ayano answered. "Sakuraba-sensei said that he wasn't feeling well. Misa-chan and I were planning on visiting him and we were hoping to have Hiiragi-san join as well."

"Hey, what about Jinnai?" Misao pointed out the other friend.

"He said he already made plans."

Miyuki saw this as a perfect opportunity to get the two together and finally get some answers about the recent turn of events these past few weeks.

"May I come as well? There's something I wanted to speak to him about."

"Oh right, you said something about a deal with him."

Kagami remembered something like that, but the mere mentioning of Jack or Konata right now is too much for her. She wanted to avoid them until she finally calmed down.

"Hiiragi-san, please join us to see him." Miyuki asked her.

"I'm sorry Miyuki, guys, but I can't."

"Why not?" Misao whined.

"I'm just can't ok? Just please."

Miyuki wasn't willing to give up on this just yet. She wanted to get something from both of them in some way or the other. She came up to Kagami. "Hiiragi-san, after school, could you meet me at the back of the building?"

Kagami didn't answer. Instead she raised her head from the desk and looked at her friend. She looked into those purple eyes she has, noticing how serious she was about it. Kagami nodded her head that she would meet up with her. Miyuki finally smiled towards her friend. She soon left and headed back to her own classroom.

Konata was in the dumps far more than she had ever been. She wanted to apologize to Kagami for what happened a few days ago but, she had no will to do it. Tsukasa was worried as Kagami was feeling cold herself. Miyuki said that she would talk to Kagami about her problems while Tsukasa tried to talk to Konata. She had been trying but to no luck.

"Kona-chan, please tell me what's wrong." Tsukasa was at least hoping for her to tell her something.

"I screwed up with Kagami." Konata replied with deep sorrow.

"What did you do?"

"I don't want to tell you…"

"Kona-chan…" Tsukasa couldn't bear to see her friend in despair. She walked up to her hoping that she could get something from her. "Please, something happened between both you and Onee-chan. I want to help smooth things over between you two." Konata kept quiet. "I want to help in any way I can so please, tell me."

Konata looked up to the twin of the girl she loved. She started thinking if she could actually tell her. She saw something with Tsukasa which was so odd but, it was a look that she could never turn away.

"Then, can I tell you after school, alone?" Konata's voice slightly cracked.

Tsukasa soon gave a smile. "Sure. I will." Konata smiled but soon returned her head back on the table.

At this point Miyuki came back, finally able to work something out with Kagami. Tsukasa gave a smile at her able to fulfill what she needed to do as well. Tsukasa walked up to her pinked haired friend, discussing about the recent turn of events and what's going to happen from that point on.

Jack was walking through a field; he wasn't sure why or how he got there. All he knows is that he was walking for a reason. He looked around, trying to understand why he was walking in a field of flowers and completely blue sky. Something about it seems peaceful for some reason.

Jack stopped part way as he could see a figure in front of him. There stood Kagami wearing a lovely white dress and her hair loose. She looked beautiful to the point he would bow down and worship her.

She walked up to him with a strange glimmer in her eye. "Jack…" She called out to the boy. "Come here Jack."

Jack complied and came up to her. "Kagami, you look… wow."

"Thank you." She smile at the boy and came closer.

Jack just stood there dumbstruck. Everything in front of him is just completely different for some reason. He couldn't take his eyes of the lilac beauty in front of him. Every fibre in his body was telling him to just grab hold and her and not let go at all.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me Jack?" Now, if he can control his hormones better, he wouldn't have said this.

"I want to do more than tell you anything!" He just ran up to the girl and grabbed hold of her. "I wanted to do this for a long time now." He leaned in to for the kiss.

He heard a loud knocking sound and he's eyes shot wide open. He looked around, wondering what was going on and soon noticed that he was in his room. He heard the door knock again.

"Jack, you have visitors." He mother told him.

"Ok." He sighed now that he had to wake up from such a dream. This was driving him insane, so much so that he ended up getting sick. He was glad he did, he doesn't want to face Patricia or Kagami for that matter besides, his head hurts.

His door swung opened and there appeared Kimihiro. "Hey, how you doing?"

"I've seen better days…" Jack slowly got up, trying not to make his headache worse.

"I can tell." Kimihiro walked in a little more. "I also brought them along." He gestured at the door. There appeared three of their underclassmen from school.

"Hello Rassler-sempai." Hiyori, Yutaka and Minami greeted their ill upperclassmen.

"You three… Why are you here?" Jack was just sitting there, completely amazed that these girls decided to visit him.

"They wanted to talk to you about something. Martin-san related is all I know." Kimihiro gave a rough idea about why and Jack felt a tinge of pain when he mentioned Patricia. "I think I'll leave you guys alone for a while. Tell me after." With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Jack alone with all the girls.

Jack turned back to the girls in front of him. "So, what's this about Patty? Did something happen?"

The girls all looked at each other, waiting for one of them to tell them what happened.

Hiyori decided to tell him. "Well, Patty broke down crying." Jack flinched when he heard that. "She kept saying something about you; I'm not sure what though. What happened between you two?"

Jack now wanted to just kill himself. Not only did he cause a girl to be hurt because of him that said girl also is your old childhood friend. He really hated himself now. He already had a rough idea on why she would be in pain and now he really wish he could just get the girls just hold him down and smother him with his own pillow.

Tension within the room was beginning to get worse; everyone started to feel like they are being crushed.

Jack decided to end it here. "I can't tell you. It's something I really don't want to talk about right now."

"But, Rassler-sempai-" Hiyori was stopped in her tracks when he raised his arm.

"Hiyori, I know you want to find out why but, with everything, it's just too much."

"Rassler-sempai…" Yutaka was saddened because of this.

"Kobayakawa-san, don't worry, I'll sort it out. She's my old friend after all." He smiled warmly towards her. "I also want to talk to you about something."

Yutaka caught on quickly on what he wanted to talk to her about. "Um… Guys, I think what he wants to talk to me should be in private so, would you…"

"Yutaka, are you sure about this? I mean, you just got over a terrible cold not too long ago." Minami was worried for her tiny friend.

"I think I'll be fine. Thanks for worrying about me, Minami-chan." Yutaka smiled back at the mint-haired girl.

"If it worries you that much Iwasaki-san, Hiyori can stay or we can have Kimihiro in here instead." Jack wanted to ease the tall girl's worries with at least having one other person inside his room.

Minami wasn't all that comfortable with having another boy with Yutaka. She had a look at Hiyori hoping that she would stay.

Hiyori caught on quickly. "Don't worry; I'll stay here to make sure."

Minami gave a sigh of relief and nodded her head. She then walked out of the room, and was soon greeted by Kimihiro who was resting against the wall.

"Rassler-sempai, I thought you wanted to talk to me alone about this?" Yutaka quickly questioned him.

"I want to get extra help for this." Jack looked at Hiyori about it. "I also need her for something else."

"Wait, what's going on?" Hiyori was lost about all of this.

Jack and Yutaka explained the test he wanted to set up for Minami. He even told her his intentions for the test. He also told us how it was going work completely. When he was finish, he was looking at the girl whose nose was starting to bleed.

"Tamura-san, clean yourself up." Jack gave her a box of tissues. "Now that you know what it is about, I would like to have you help me with it. Patty also knows about it but… you know."

Hiyori was able to understand why but, she was wondering about something. "But, what's this have to do with me?"

"You're going to get her here so I can try to talk about what happened. I would talk to her myself but, I'm not going to leave this room anytime soon."

"Why me?"

"She considers you as her best friend. She'll listen to you."

Hiyori wasn't sure about this. She doesn't want to be caught between these two but, she doesn't want Patricia to forever ignore Jack like this. She wasn't sure what to do.

"I'm not doing this for any of those tests I have for Kobayakawa and Konata. I'm doing this so keep our friendship."

Hiyori thought about it some more. Maybe it is best for them to talk. "I'll try. I'll try to get her here."

"Thanks." Jack smiled at the girl, finally able to get her to do it.

There was soon a knock on the door and Kimihiro's voice came right after. "Jack, you got more visitors."

"Ok, let them in." Jack answered back and saw his door open and there appeared three other girls from his year. "Guys…"

"Rassler-kun!" Misao soon gave him a full body hug which leads to him, screaming in pain. This girl is stronger than he thought. "Man, you look like ya dying!"

"I… am… dying… Let… go Misao…!" His face was slowly turning blue.

"Misa-chan, come on, he can't breathe." Ayano grabbed her and pulled her away from the poor boy. "Hello Rassler-kun. I have some biscuits for you." Ayano gave him a bag of biscuits.

'Thanks Minegishi-san."

"Good afternoon Rassler-san." Miyuki bowed down at the sick boy.

"Takara-san, hi. I would have expected Kagami here as well."

Not that I don't want her here, it's just…

"She couldn't come today; I'm here in her stead."

I have my own intentions for this as well.

The other girls who are still in his room greeted each other. He began to wonder how he became a friends with this many girls. He's starting to think that this is a harem anime or something. Kimihiro is the other guy here and he happily converse with the others.

The entire group that had appeared in Jack's room was basically talking about general stuff. From the tasty kinds of food, to clothing, to anime, to smells that they had recently smelt and how bad it was. It was like a normal day for them, excluding the fact that Jack was still sick. It wasn't long until they all had to say their goodbyes. All but one stayed behind.

Miyuki sat at the side of his bed. "I do believe that you and I have a promise to fulfill."

"I haven't forgotten." Jack sighed, knowing he has to talk about the thing he wanted to avoid.

"Please Rassler-san, I want to know what's been happening recently."

Jack sighed again. "Where to begin...?"

Jack told her everything that had happened back when he took Kagami out for lunch, he then slowly mentioned when he finally saw Patricia again. He talked once again about how she was like a sister was to her. When he reached to the point where he went out with Patricia, he was hesitating about it. Miyuki sat there patiently for him to tell her everything about it. She carefully listened to him and hearing what she said brought her back when she was talking to Kagami just earlier.

Kagami met with Miyuki behind the building as she had promised to. She was hoping it wasn't anything really serious but, considering what's been going on, she won't be able to avoid it. From what happened between her and Konata, it would not be pretty.

Miyuki made her appearance in front of her with a serious look on her face.

"Hey Miyuki. What is it you want to talk about?"

Miyuki kept her look. "I wanted to know what happened between you and Izumi-san."

Kagami hated this very much now. "W-what do you mean?"

"When both you and Izumi-san came in, you both seemed so distant. What exactly happened?"

Kagami hesitated; she wasn't sure how to answer. "Things were… chaotic back at her place…" Miyuki stay there patiently. "I was hanging out with her; part of it was that Jack wanted me to keep an eye on her that she would actually study. We then played a game and soon after she started talking about Jack and how I felt… She sounded… really serious…"

Miyuki stared at her, hearing her say something like that.

"She… asked what I thought about Jack. It started to escalate to the point that, Konata looked like she was going to break…I couldn't take it anymore and just ran out…"

Miyuki wasn't sure how to respond now. She thought long about how to respond to her but; nothing was coming out at all. It was connected to Jack again. Ever since Jack came about, things have been, difficult with her friends.

"I don't know why I ran… Every time she asked what I thought about Jack, it was… too much. Because of all of it, I can't face Konata or Jack anymore. I don't even know if I can ever again."

Miyuki sighed sadly. She walked up to Kagami. "I don't know how to go about this but; I think you should to talk to them. Try to patch up what had happened."

"How am I supposed to do that when I can't even face them?!"

"You can't avoid them forever. You have to make it up to them."

Kagami listened to her pink headed friend. She had a point. Kagami can't keep running away from the two people but, she wasn't sure how to go about with it.

She sighed and nodded her head. "You're right. I have to sort things out."

Back to the present time, Miyuki continued to listen to what Jack had promised to tell her. It was coming to an end when he said this.

"I'm going to talk to Patty about what happened. I can't run away from her, she's still like a little sister. As the elder brother, I'm responsible for what happened."

Miyuki was quite surprised when he said such things. Miyuki had a smile on her face about it but, there was one more issue for her to discuss with him.

"Rassler-san, you really are mature. But there's something I want to know." Jack raised his head to her. "You said that you may have found someone else. Could it be Hiiragi-san?"

Jack froze there. He wasn't sure if he wanted to answer the question but, he started to fully think about everything that has happened to this point. Ever since she met her, he can't get her out of his mind anymore. That simple little quote from an anime was finally beginning to make sense. Why did it kept appearing in his head along with Kagami? Wasn't it supposed to be a joke? There can't be any real meaning to it, right? He thought about all those questions and finally came to his conclusion. All he could do was smile.

"I… think so…" Jack chuckled nervously. "That would answer everything that's been happening to this point." He chuckled again and lied down on his bed. "Oh man, this is going to be even harder…"

"Rassler-san…" Miyuki was concern of her friend but he raised his head.

"Don't worry about it Takara-san, I'll sort it out. Just please, don't tell anyone else about it."

Miyuki smiled back at the boy and decided it was time for her to leave. As she walked down the road, she thought back to how Jack admitted having feelings for Kagami. She also thought about what Kagami had said to her. It seems that Kagami is the only one left to come in terms with her feelings as well.

As that is left, was to find out what are Konata's feelings. This may be something much more complicated than she thought.

Yeah, in truth, I normally work on the next chapter before uploading the new chapter, if that made any sense. It took longer because I had to scrap my old idea for that chapter and had to redo it completely.

All I can say is Konata's test is the next chapter!

Jack: Time to see how much of an otaku she really is!

Konata: Bring it on!

Kagami: Would you two stop that?

Jack and Konata: But we're doing this for you! (Joking around… almost)

Right, don't know about that last bit but whatever. See you next time.
