Kagami And The Ten Dancing Princesses

Lucky Star is owned by Kagami Yoshimizu. I only own this story, which is used for entertainment purposes.

Chapter 9

Me and my sisters were still doing the 'princess training' in order to act all proper and royal to please our mother. Though in reality she would pretty much get horrified at seeing us like this, can't say I blame her.

"Alright girls, that's enough twirling for now, its time for a short break so use them wisely." Akira called out. "We'll be back in a few, so do NOT forget to come back here when the time is up, YOU GOT IT?"

"Yeah... we got it..." We all simply fall onto the floor in exhaustion. Who the heck even does such a thing here like twirling and balancing books on your head, what point is there that you'll need to do something like that?

.-.-.-.

So we try to forget about what just happened and go for a shower and eat more foods after doing that last verdict.

While on break, I saw Miyuki going to the library with a book in her hands and had just remembered that we left Konata in the library. Since there wasn't anything else to do at the moment, I decide to go and look for Konata back in the library and follow Miyuki. Although she probably she wanted to check out some books and could probably care less about her whereabouts, she allowed for me to go with her to go there.

"It was very nice for you to walk with me to the library Kagami-san. Thank you..." Miyuki said to me kindly.

"Oh, it's nothing really." I replied. "Besides, I really need to check and see if that Konata girl is causing any trouble or not..."

"Konata? Oh, you mean that nice blue-haired girl from the..." She looks around to see if anyone was looking before finishing her sentence. "...Enchanted Pavilion?"

"Ahaha, and by nice you mean nice looking Miyuki one-san?"

"I meant by her personality, but I do think she's nice looking too. What, you don't like her?"

"No, it's not like that, it's just that she seems a little bit... um... I don't think she's that nice as you put it out."

"Oh, I see. But I'm sure that if you got to know the girl, she'd be a very friendly person and you'd also get along wonderfully. She has had a hard time so that would also explain some things, don't you remember?"

"Yeah... I wish I hadn't though."

"I wish I hadn't either."

.-.-.-.

By the time we had gotten to the library, we had noticed that it was already the afternoon cause of the sun setting at the windows. Miyuki went to get another book while I looked around to find out where Konata has been all this time. Look, I know she probably has moved to a new location but how am I to know? This is the last place I've heard her say she'd be. I search and search the place like crazy but it seems that she isn't here at all.

"Dang nabs it, where could she have gone?" I muttered to myself.

"Oh, it seems likely that Kona-chan isn't here yet." Miyuki sighed.

"Yeah, no duh. I wonder where she went..."

"Hmm, maybe she went to go get some fresh air outside."

"Yeah maybe, I'm going to go and check and find out." Just as I was going to go back outside, I heard another rock go against our windows. I turn and see that it was done by Misao, again. She was giving me a 'Come here- I mean outside for a minute' signal. I just sighed in frustration and go outside. Wasn't like I was gonna go there even without her around.

.-.-.-.

After saying hello to my other sisters who were still doing their business, I went outside to check out what Misao wants this time. As soon as I step outside, I immediately see a giant green costume with wings staring at me with those big blue or purple eyes and has a small human-like head! What was it supposed to be anyway? Was this the 'surprise' that she was talking about?

"Hi there, who's it going?" 'She' asked.

"Ack! What the heck are you!?"

"So, what do ya think?" Misao came out from behind her and exclaimed.

"What... do I think?"

"Yeah, of my new pet! Isn't she lovely?"

"Pet... THAT IS YOUR PET!? It doesn't even look... like one."

"Hey, don't be mean to my pet even though she looks more like person in a bird costume..."

'That's a bird? I never would have guessed.'

"Ayano, are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine— I mean ca-cawk ca-cawk!" Ayano replied.

I still don't think she's a real bird, wonder what got her to do something like that. And what made Misao think that I'd be okay with this? Unbelievable.

"Anyways, that wasn't just the main reason I... WE came here though." Misao protested. "Nope, we also mainly wanted to come and mainly hang out at the main—"

"Just get to the MAIN point already!" I scowled at her.

"Can we come in and play with you guys?"

"Look, I'm sorry, I'd love to but we have to do more 'training' in a few more minutes and it'd probably be a burden if you..." And that was when it hit me. I then ended up making one of the dumbest mistakes ever in my entire life. "...I mean... you know what? Of course you can come over and play with us, not like we had anything better to do anyways."

"Alright, we can have fun today!" Misao said exuberantly. "Come on Ayano, let's go see what the others are up to."

"Hai, Kākā to naku!" Ayano the 'bird-girl' replied happily and proceeded inside along with her buddy.

While they were doing that however, I continued to search the gardens and see if Konata was outside or not. I don't think I should stay out here for longer otherwise Akika- I mean Akira, would catch me and punish me since 'princesses aren't suppose to go outside'! I see flowers, grass, and some insects, but I still couldn't find her. While walking around to find her, I accidentally trip on some grass and land on some mud. This sucks, not only do I have to search for that crazy girl who might cause some trouble here in this castle, but now I'll get in trouble for getting myself dirty and they'll know I went outside.

"Onee-chan, did you let Misao in here or did she intrude on her own?" Tsukasa opened the doors and asked me.

"Oh, no I let her in... this time at least." I get up and try to get the gunk of this dress of mine.

Tsukasa seemed to have noticed this. "Oh my, onee-chan why are you so filthy?"

"Um, long story short, I tripped and fell on mud while I was having a nice walk."

"Well, you better hurry and clean that up or else you-know-who is gonna get really angry..."

"Who?" Ayano asked.

"Must be their mother, you know how much she loves purple." Misao replied.

"Or I could find a replacement outfit." I suggested.

"Really, how are you going to find a replacement in time?"

"It's simple really." I rush back inside and hurry to my bedroom upstairs.

.-.-.-.

I open the door to the bedroom and look around for some outfits to wear. I search the drawers, the dressers, and under the bed for something to wear that looks somewhat like the one I'm wearing, but to no avail.

And then, I spotted a short light purple dress which was the frilliest I've seen by far. It looks a bit small for me and looks a lot more like that dress I've worn when I was a kid. I heard someone calling my name and start freaking out.

"Onee-chan, hurry up, they're saying that break time is over and we should hurry back!" Tsukasa shouted out.

I grab the dress and rush over to the dressing room to change.

.-.-.-.

I come back downstairs and show them my change of clothes. They were not pleased. I wasn't pleased either, mainly cause of the fact that it doesn't fit me anymore. In fact it actually hurts.

"Um, why did you change outfits?" Yutaka asked skeptically.

"Eh, I was rushing and grabbed an outfit that looked a little similar to mine. But you figured it out easily didn't you?"

"Yeah, we sure did."

"I didn't." Minami said.

"Very funny." I snarked. "Hey Miyuki, when were done with all this, can you clean my other outfit?"

"Sure thing sis." Miyuki replied gladly.

"But what about us, what do we do while we wait for you guys?" Misao asked sadly.

"Well, actually I have a favor for you to ask. Can you find a... friend for us? She seems to be missing somewhere in this castle and we don't know where she is or why she's there or something like that. Can you go and find her for us? She's about Yutaka's height, has long blue hair, green eyes, and an unusual accent."

"Don't worry, you can count on us!" Misao gave us a thumb up and a wink.

She and Ayano rush out of the room while we go into the ballroom and do more... training.

.-.-.-.

When we head in though, they were not pleased.

"Why are you guys late again? And what's with that outfit you're wearing?" Akira scowled and pointed at my dress.

"...Rushing."

.-.-.-.

After doing some more training, getting dinner, and also drinking some fresh water, we all got tired out and walked to our bedrooms. We lay down on our beds and look up at the ceiling above. While looking, I had noticed that Misao and Ayano haven't come back yet.

"Hey, does anybody else notice that Misao and Ayano are not here still?" I ask everyone else around me.

"No, that never came across my mind..." Tsukasa replied softly.

"Do you think they're still looking for her?" Hiyori mentioned.

"Maybe, or they could have just gone home." Minami added.

"Hmm, I'm actually kind of nervous on what has happened to them..." I said sullenly.

"You wanna go check?" Patricia suggested.

"Well, yeah I want to. But how am I suppose to do that?"

"Well, I've always heard of this one cliché where you take a couple of bed sheets, throw them out your window, and then climb them down."

"Huh? That seems a little impossible to do. Do you think it's really that possible?"

"Well... we never know until we try."

"But wouldn't that be dangerous? I mean what if Kagami gets hurt along the way?" Yutaka asked nervously.

"Don't worry about that, as long as she doesn't look down and let go she'll be totally fine!" Patricia acknowledged foolishly.

Yeah, great sister right there. Still, it was the only option I had. I wonder if they are alright. I hope nothing bad happened to them while they were searching...
