Lucky Star is owned by Kagami Yoshimizu. I only own this story, which is used for entertainment purposes.
Chapter 11
Some hours pass by and we were still doing some tough training because we were so late or something. It'll be hard for me to leave without them noticing and scolding me some more. Luck seemed to be on my side for once as I saw Misao tapping on the windows and was signaling that she had found Konata already and needs me to come out now. I wish I could, but I didn't know how to ditch Akira-sama though.
And then I thought up a solution. I gave Misao a sign language to distract Akira from the strict training since I know she wouldn't let us go get a break so easily. She seemed to pick it up in agreement and walks over to another window, the one where short pinky was standing near. She turned to pick up some more rocks and then threw some at the window, startling Akira in the process.
"What the hell was that!?" She asked in a fury. She quickly glanced over to where the noise was coming from and saw Misao standing there with some rocks in her grasps.
"Uh, hi. Can Kaga-chan play and not do craps like this?" She offered nicely.
"SCREW YOU!" She runs out of the room and chases after her.
The rest of us just stood there in confusion.
"Um, please excuse us... and her, but it appears that there is another intruder among us at this time (?) But don't panic it'll be resolved soon enough. I hope." Minoru said with a sweat drop. "Probably shouldn't go outside for a while until were referred that—"
"Can I go to the bathroom?" I raise my hand and announce.
"Sure thing."
I walk out of the room and head toward the back, but not after Minoru tells me to 'be careful', and I nod in agreement before leaving.
.-.-.-.
I go get some water and then walk out to where Misao wanted to meet me. I look around and don't see her at all. I then hear Akira screaming as she's continuing to chase Misao around the castle grounds. I hide behind a wall to avoid getting spotted by her, but I doubt she'll notice since she is too busy chasing down Misao in frustration.
While watching, I then felt a tap on my shoulder and saw Ayano standing right behind me... in her bird suit still.
"Whoa, how did you get here?" I asked her.
"I flew here, but there is no time for that, Kākā to naku." Ayano replied. "Come on, I need to show you where Konata is..."
"You mean you found her at last?"
"Yes, she wants to speak-eth to you at the moment, don't ask why though. Follow me." She told me. I had no other option and I really didn't want to go back there, so I follow her to where she and Misao had found Konata.
We walk over to a similar small shack in the middle of the grounds where Ayano points at the door, showing me that she is in there. Okay then. I was a bit skeptical at first but then I remembered that someone was calling for help last night and was asking me if I was along or not. I wasn't able to answer her though. I slowly walk over and knock on the door to check and see if anyone was in there or not. Could she be lying to me? I knock on the door, and as soon as did though, I heard a voice.
"Who is it?" She said through the door.
"It's me, Kagami. I heard from Ayano that you wanted to see me?" I replied to her softly.
"Hmm, seems that she has done her part..."
"Konata if that's you behind the door then come out already. Why are you in there anyway?"
.-.-.-.
Konata slowly opened the door and dragged me inside. I was about to shout at her again and ask why she has done that but she covered my mouth with her hand before I got the chance to speak.
"Listen carefully, this is extremely important. You seem to be the only one that wants to know or at least try and figure it out..."
"Figure what out?" I asked through her muffled hands.
"The vial, remember the one from last night?"
"Oh yeah, you mean the one that had the poison in it and was used for killing mother!?"
"Well, yes and no."
"Huh? You're starting to not make sense."
"And you're realizing this now? Look, yes I'm talking about the vial from last night but no, it's apparently not a poison, they think it is though."
"If it's not poison, then..."
"It's actually that cure you had back in The Enchanted Pavilion! I was going to do you guys the favor and give her the cure myself, but they had spotted me, thinking I was a 'spy' who was trying to kill mother and locked me in here!"
"Aw shit, I can't believe I forgot about the cure vial! How could I forget about mother? I've been so caught up by those stupid training skills that I had no idea we even had that vial still with us!"
"I picked the lock with a hair clip of mine and managed to unlock the door, but I could not get back out mainly due to them guarding the castle and door. I had no choice but to wait it out although out the night..."
"That's terrible..."
"Actually it wasn't that bad. Quite UN comfy at first, but I found a way to relax myself and got used to it now."
"So, um, do you have any idea where they took this vial?"
"No clue, all I heard from the two was 'poison' and 'ditch, got it?'. What do you suppose it could mean?"
"'Ditch' huh?" I went into a thinking process for a bit. My eyes widen once I realize something. "I think they went and got rid of it!"
"What? How?"
"Seriously, you don't know how? Okay, so basically they probably threw it out somewhere so no one else could get there hands on it and use it for evil purposes..."
"Shoot, we better find it then before something else bad happens!"
"Right, so, can we get out of here then? I'm getting all sweaty from staying in here too long."
"Okay, let's get going then, while Misao's still distracting them."
"How'd you—"
"I told the bird girl the plan to get you here, should be done by now but if now let's hurry up and find it."
"Hai!"
.-.-.-.
I agree and go outside along with Konata to try and find the missing vial. It's gotta be around here somewhere... but where?
We tell Ayano to go and find Misao and check to see if she's alright. She nods and caws in agreement and flies... er... runs off and flaps her wings.
Konata and I walk out and search around the castle grounds to try to find the vial with the cure inside. We looked high above and we looked around the stone floor patterns, and also looked around the buildings to see if they littered it out near the place. While walking around we spot some trash near the sidewalk out of our castle. There appeared to be some sort of long glass sticking out of it. We go over there without letting the others know we're leaving and check out the junk. Now why someone would litter near the castle I don't think I'll ever know.
I walk over and pick up the supposed bottle that was sticking out in the crap down there. While it does look like the vial I had from before, but unlike it, I found it to be pretty empty with a crack in it.
"What the hell is this? Why is this empty? Is this... a crack?" I obviously ask once I stared at the vial.
"How did this happen?" Konata added.
"Um... excuse me? What are you guys doing outside here?" Someone said.
