Consequences
Chapter 4 A Friend
"Konata… Konata… Wake up Konata" A familiar surrounded the blue haired girl
"Kagami?" Questioning her own senses
"Yes Konata now let's go there's a lot we must do" Kagami now reaching out her hand
Reaching out to Kagami's hand but quickly pulls it back
"Wait, Didn't your family say we couldn't… be together" still choking up even thinking about
"Calm down we'll be fine" that single sentence shot through her like a bolt of lightning as she woke up
'No…it was just another dream? It can't be…' starting to tear up
"Damn it NO! Put me back there! DON'T LEAVE ME!" these dreams have plagued her ever since they were forced apart
As bad as these days were for Konata, it was just as bad for Sojiro, who only wanted to have his only daughter to be happy, yet had to sit stone faced during these outbursts.
'As hard as it is to talk to her I overheard Miyuki saying she would be going over to her house I think it's best if she can stay with people who can watch over her, Kanata had those tendencies and I can't lose her too, but I can't say this is up to me."
"Konata, can you come down here for a minute?" he knew he wouldn't get a response but footsteps followed so he knew it wasn't completely in vain
"Hi Dad" Surprisingly Konata had actually spoken to him, hopefully getting closer to accepting things
"Miyuki mentioned yesterday…"
"Yeah I forgot to tell you that I was going over there at one, Is that okay?" sounding a little upbeat
"Of course sweetie, don't worry about it"
"Okay" and with that Konata went back to her room until one that afternoon…
"Hey Konata you leaving now?" Sojiro noticing her first appearance since this morning.
"Yeah"
"You sure you don't want anything, you haven't eaten all day" trying his best to help her in any way possible
"I'm good" still being the basic girl she always was
She managed to get herself to Miyuki's without a hassle and before too long a knock was heard at the Takara residence's door.
"Oh hello Konata, Miyuki's inside waiting" Yukari answering the door despite being the lazy one in the house
"Thank you " Konata being formal very rarely
"Oh it's nothing, and you can call me Yukari"
"Alright" Konata starting to walk into the "larger than life" house
"Good evening Konata" probably being greeted by the most formal girl in Japan
"Hi Miyuki" Now being the monotone girl Miyuki saw the day before
"Are you okay?" not wasting anytime in getting to the point
"No" no longer hiding her feeling she starts to tear up
"It's okay to let it out tell me all about"
"Well to start Kagami and I finally get together but that… Bitch that she calls a mother rips us apart I mean no matter what I do it seems that everyone is out just to stop me from being happy"
"Her Mother was just concerned for her she doesn't hate you, she still let's you talk to her that's something right?" Miyuki letting Konata understand what's going on a little bit clearer
"Yeah I guess but still what's wrong with me being with her?"
"You have to understand that Kagami comes from a very traditional family and they believe in marriage between a man and a woman."
"So the only thing I can do is… move on?" Finally starting to realize what she has to do.
"That's one option"
"Is it okay if I stay over here tonight?" Not realizing how long their conversation went on for, the sun was just starting to set.
"Sure Konata, and if you need anything you know I'll always be here"
"Thanks Miyuki you're so good to me, before Kagami it was always hard for me to get by I don't think I realized what love was until her."
"That's good you deserve to happy, you're a beautiful girl with a great life" Miyuki almost letting her feelings out but somehow holding it back.
For the first time in a few weeks Konata did not dream about Kagami, there was no waking up in the middle of the night crying, it was the first peaceful night she had in a long time. She woke up completely refreshed in the morning, most of the redness gone from her eyes. Another first in a while is that she woke up with her cat-like grin meeting Miyuki in the kitchen.
"It looks like you slept well Konata" Miyuki was overjoyed to see Konata in a good mood, yet tried not to look too exited
"It was amazing Miyuki I slept through the night, it's been so long, there's something about you I just can't put my finger on it."
"I'm not sure I can help you with that but I'm glad to see you're happy again" obviously an understatement on her part
When Konata returning to her home in the best moods she's had in weeks Sojiro greeted her with open arms.
"Hey Dad"
"Hiya kido"
"I'm sorry I yelled at you the other day I was…" Konata being suddenly being cut off with her Father's arms around her
"I thought you would still be mad" Shocked at what happened
"I could never be mad at you, after Kanata left I found there's no room for holding a grudge against someone, I love you and no matter what you do I always will."
"Thank you so much Dad"
With all she's done Konata was on the track to her normal life, with Miyuki, now her best friend she knows she will fine in every situation as long as she has her.
