"What is wrong Tsu-chan, you sound distressed?" Miyuki's voice was soft and comforting as it made its way from the earpiece of the phone.
"I don't know, I… I…" Tsukasa whimpered.
"Why don't you start from the beginning?" Miyuki urged with a small smile playing onto her lips.
"Well you know how we, um did some experimenting before graduation…" Tsukasa said in a small voice and although Miyuki could not see it, she knew Tsukasa had a blush.
"Yes we did a few things, just to know ourselves better." Miyuki encouraged as she had already guessed where this conversation might lead.
"I thought that since Onee-chan was… Yuri that I might be as well…" Tsukasa gulped. "But I…"
"Found a boy you like?" Miyuki cut her off with a small giggle.
"I am sorry Yuki-chan; I thought I loved you… And I do, just not in that way!" Tsukasa quickly said hoping she did not hurt her friend.
"Oh, Tsu-chan you are my best friend and that won't change… You were always so clingy…" Miyuki laughed as she could hear Tsukasa pout. "When Kagami-san started going out with Konata-san you didn't have anyone to be your support, which is why we started doing the things we did." Miyuki said gently.
"Yuki did you like me…" Tsukasa asked quietly.
"Yes I did, but I knew it wasn't going to last forever, I hoped that when you got to your new school you would find someone and forget about what we did and move on…" Miyuki sighed. "It seems I made a miscalculation…" The pinkette thought.
"I will forget the guy if Yuki wants to be with me!" Tsukasa nearly shouted into the receiver.
"No you won't!" Miyuki said sternly as she heard Tsukasa begin to sniffle.
"Then what do I do… I want you both…" Tsukasa said as she started to cry.
"You will always have me Tsukasa… How about you come to me and Ayano's dorm tomorrow and spend the night? We can experiment like old times… However, this time just as best friends, that is what it was to begin with… Just friends…" Miyuki said as she could hear Tsukasa's crying let up.
"I can come over and you will take care of me anytime, right Yuki?" Tsukasa asked as she wiped her eyes.
"Whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend… Even if you are married, I will always take care of you if you need me…" Miyuki said as she could feel the smile that made its way onto Tsukasa's face.
"I love you Yuki… You are the best friend I could ever have…" Tsukasa said with a sigh happy to get all that stress off her chest.
"So Tsu-chan… Now you have to tell me all about him!" Miyuki squealed making Tsukasa blush again.
"Yuki… You hopeless romantic." Tsukasa thought with a smile. "Well he is so sweet; we were at the mall today and…" Tsukasa said as she started what would end up being an all night phone call…
Due to throwing up several times, Konata's head had cleared up quite a bit, allowing her to think straight for the first time that evening. "Maybe she doesn't care anymore…" Konata thought as she looked down at her feet.
Konata was currently sitting on a bathing stool while Kagami washed her back. There was a heavy tension in the air due to the lack of conversation between the two girls.
"I have to say something…" Kagami thought as she rinsed her girlfriend off. "So what would you like to do tomorrow?" Kagami asked in a happy tone, despite the pain she felt in her chest from her overwhelming guilt.
"Anything is fine with me…" Konata said in a melancholic tone.
"Konata please don't do this… You know how sorry I am." Kagami pleaded with the shorter girl.
"Kagami, do you like him? It's okay if you don't want me any more…" Konata said with a slight sniffle that did not go unnoticed by the tsundere.
"Don't say stupid stuff… You know I love you, me and Sanjo where just talking about school nothing more." Kagami said as she embraced her love from behind.
"But you left me out…" Konata said as she turned to look her tsundere in the eyes. "You forgot about me…" Konata said as tears started to fill in the comers of her large green orbs.
"No I didn't, I will never forget about you! I am sorry I got too absorbed in the conversation, it will never happen again." Kagami said as she hugged the small otaku tightly despite the lack of clothes she was wearing.
"Kagami you are squeezing too hard." The blunette giggled, although you could tell it was strained due to the death hug she was receiving.
"Do you forgive me?" Kagami asked as she stroked the older girls cerulean hair.
"Of course you are my tsundere!" Konata cheered as she hugged Kagami again. "I forgive her, so why do I still feel so hurt inside?" Konata wondered.
"You get dried off and ready for bed, I'll go make us a snack." Kagami said as she left the bathroom humming.
"You will never be loved, no one wants you…" Kurono's voice rang inside of Konata's mind. "That isn't true; me and Kagami would break up over something this small… We are perfect for each other!" Konata said defiantly as she toweled off. "She doesn't want you, once you make a mistake she is going to leave you…" His voice turned into more of a hiss. "No she won't, we haven't even had a fight yet!" Konata said as she slapped her cheeks a few times. "Stupid alcohol…" Konata mumbled.
"Konata you alright I heard you talking in the bathroom?" Kagami asked as the blunette walked into the living room.
"Nothing just the alcohol messing with my head." Konata laughed as she sat beside her tsundere.
"I see, well I got us some ice cream and I found some gummies in the cupboard." Kagami said as she handed Konata a mountain of ice cream conveniently placed in a bowl.
"Yay!" Konata cheered as she began to eat what looked like her weight in ice cream.
"Okay so tomorrow after school, wait at the bus stop for me okay? I'll take you somewhere fun." Kagami said as Konata leaned up against her and turned on an anime.
"Got it, wait at bus stop!" Konata obediently as the two began to watch episode 7 of Cla**ed.
The next morning...
"So I am going to Yuki's tonight." Tsukasa said happily as the group walked to the school since they lived within a mile of it.
"I will be home late as well." Misao said with an evil snicker as she looked at Kagami.
"Okay…?" Kagami said with a raised eyebrow. "We are going out tonight, so I guess we will see you when we see you." Kagami said as she squeezed the little blunette's hand that she was currently holding.
The four got to the school building and said their goodbyes to each other for the day; Kagami kissed Konata on the cheek and reminded her about the meeting place, they got a few weird looks from some passer bys. They never denied that they were Yuri, to be honest nobody ever asked, but they never openly said they were either.
"I understand I won't leave that spot for anything!" Konata said as she saluted.
"Good." Kagami giggled as the two parted ways for the day.
Things were normal that day for the group; school and studying were about all they did, the only thing out of the ordinary was the freak downpour of rain…
"Jeez of all days…" Konata sighed as she packed up her school stuff.
"That sucks Kona… Want my umbrella?" Misao asked as she held out her pale blue umbrella.
"Nah Kagami will come get me soon, so it's all good!" Konata smiled as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Okay if you are sure… Well I am going to go and get… That thing I am getting…" Misao said as she slipped out the door. "Bye Kona!" She called from the hallway.
"She won't be there…." Konata shook her head. "She won't abandon me!" Konata said defiantly. She was used to hearing Kurono's voice in her head back before high school, but once she got friends, his voice seemed to fade away… "Why is it back now?" Konata thought as she shook her head, well whatever the reason she was not going to let it get her down.
"Freshman!" Mimi said as her and her gang walked up to Konata, snapping her from her thoughts.
"Yes sempai?" Konata said as sweetly as she could.
"I told you guy's that this one would be the best to approach." Mimi snickered before looking down at the small otaku. "We would like to know about the younger Hiiragi twin." She said, pushing Konata back into her seat.
"I would love to talk, but someone is waiting for me." Konata said desperately.
"They can wait!" Mimi said coldly as her eyes seemed to pierce into the younger girl's mind.
"Damn, guess it's time for plan B…" Konata thought as tears started to pool in her eyes. "I was told to meet somewhere by a certain time… Now I am going to be late…" Konata sniffed as tears started to drip down her face.
"EH? Well okay, but next time we are going to talk!" Mimi said coldly as she moved to let Konata go.
"Oh thank you sempai!" Konata cheered as she hugged her, before running out of the classroom. As soon as she was out her eyes cleared up. "Suckers…" Konata thought with a snicker.
"Alright, first we will go to her favorite store and I will buy her something, then…" Kagami talked to herself as she packed up her stuff.
"I have great news!" Mikeru said happily snapping Kagami out of her thoughts.
"Oh, hello sempai." Kagami said with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks from being startled so easily.
"What did I say about that Sempai stuff…? I don't insist on people calling me that, unlike someone here…" Mikeru sighed as the thought of his least favorite groupie came to mind.
"Yeah, so what did you need Mikeru-san?" Kagami asked in a hurry as she was looking forward to her day with Konata.
"Tsukasa said she would go with me to the party." Mikeru said with a smile. "I wanted to ask for your permission to go out with her…" Mikeru asked cautiously.
"She was awfully bold… She was blushing wasn't she?" Kagami asked with a grin.
"Yeah she was as red as a strawberry." Mikeru laughed a little as he recalled their conversation.
"I don't mind, but if you do anything to upset her…" Kagami said before she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and brought him to her eye level. "I will kill you…" Kagami said in a tone colder then ice.
"Yes ma'am." Mikeru said as he felt a shiver go down his spine.
"Good, so we are allowed to come to this party as well correct?" Kagami asked back to her chipper self, which scared the crap out of the male brunette.
"Yeah… Of course, you can… Wouldn't be a party without you." The boy laughed as he started to back out of the classroom. "I'll see you later Kaga-chan!" The boy called before exiting to the hall, leaving a now blushing tsundere.
"I never gave him permission for an embarrassing nickname!" Kagami huffed as she started to walk to the door. "Am I forgetting something?" Kagami wondered.
"Hiiragi hold on I need to talk to you for a minute!" The teacher called.
"Yes sir, what did you need?" Kagami asked as she made it to the desk.
"I hate to ask this of you, but could you…" The teacher said giving the twin tailed girl detailed instructions…
Kagami was bouncing all over the school, when she finished one thing someone else needs help, but she could not get over the feeling that she forgot something…
"Dang why did everyone want me to do something today?" Kagami thought as she walked to the front of the school. "Jeez school got out four hours ago! Tsukasa had better not have made dinner without me!" Kagami thought just as a huge crash of thunder roared, so loud it felt like the sky was ripped open.
"I can't even see!" Kagami shouted to no one in particular as she ran out into the storm, the rain was so heavy and cold she thought it might cut through her umbrella at any moment.
"I am home!" Kagami called as she got into the apartment, none of the lights was on, and there was no puddle on the floor to signify that someone came home. "That's right Tsukasa is with Miyuki, Misao is out, and Konata…" Kagami dropped her umbrella to the ground. "OH MY GOD, KONATA!" Kagami screamed as she grabbed her umbrella and ran back into the rain…
"No one wants you… You should just die…" The voice in her head taunted the small girl, but still she stood unmoved from the same spot she had been standing in the past four almost five hours. "She would be here if she cared..." His voice was slick and mocking, but Konata would not budge. She just couldn't leave; not after promising the one she loved she would wait. "You should just give up on finding anyone who cares…" The horrible voice said again, nothing could stop the tears that fell from the otaku's eyes. "Maybe she doesn't…" Konata started to think, but by fate, her thought process was stopped…
"Konata! Are you okay?" Kagami screamed as she ran up and embraced her little blunette. "Why did you just stand out here? I am so sorry things came up and…" Kagami said in a rush until she felt the small girl heaving in her arms.
"I knew you wouldn't abandon me… You do love me right Kagami?" Konata cried as she looked up into the younger girl's eyes, before passing out in her arms.
"Konata? Konata!" Kagami screamed as she picked up her limb little body in her arms and snuggled it close to her to protect it from the rain. "Hold on Konata!" Kagami screamed tears flowing down her cheeks as she forgot her umbrella and began to run for their apartment. Kagami was picking up speed, she was running at a pace she had never reached before, it was almost as if she could control her adrenaline making it work for her as she went faster. She could feel it flowing through her body giving her strength; she was running at a speed the Olympic sprinters only hoped to reach. "Hold on baby, hold on…" Kagami muttered as the flow of tears made the rain outside look frail…
Konata was standing on a small hex shaped segment of floor that glowed white in the pure black world she was in. "She left you there, she forgot you!" A voice said, although not Kurono's this one was vaguely familiar.
"Show yourself!" Konata demanded.
"You know it's true, deep in your heart…" The voice said as it adopted the figure of Nightmare.
"You don't know what you're talking about!" Konata screamed at him as she tried to charge him, but found she was stuck on the glowing bit of floor.
"No one wants you, or ever will…" A new voice said to Konata's right, as she turned towards it adopted the figure of Alucard.
"Shut up! You don't know anything!" Konata screamed. She knew it was a dream, but it still felt so real.
"But we do, we know everything about you…" A voice suddenly said from behind her and as she turned around, she saw it take the form of Baraka.
"You don't have to suffer; we are on your side…" Another voice said as it took the form of General Ram.
"No you don't know anything, I love Kagami, and she loves me!" Konata screamed as she swung a fist at Baraka, but missed due to the considerable distance.
"You can't keep pretending… You will get hurt…" Nightmare said in a tone that depicted sorrow.
"She will hurt you… Throw you away…" Ram said as the four stepped closer.
"Just look in your heart before it is too late…" Alucard said as his voice changed to the all too familiar voice of Kurono.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Konata screamed as she dropped to her knees, tears dripping down her face.
"Listen to us…" Baraka said as he reached an arm towards the blunette…
"Konata!" A new voice rang out in the empty world, making the four figures wince as if in pain. "Konata!" the new voice said more urgently.
"Remember… She will hurt you…" The four said in unison before Konata opened her eyes. She looked up at the crying face of her tsundere.
"Kagami, what's wrong?" Konata asked as she shivered a little, partially from that dream and partially because she was so cold.
"You're alright!" Kagami cried as she hugged the smaller girl. "You were having a fever dream… You started screaming… I thought I was going to lose you…" Kagami said through her sobs as she held the smaller girl.
"I'm alright now; you won't lose me that easily…" Konata said with a small smile before a coughing fit raged through her body.
"I am so sorry Konata, everyone needed help and, and…" Kagami said as she started to tear up again.
"It's okay, you came for me that's all that matters…" Konata said softly as she drifted back into a peaceful sleep.
Kagami tucked her in and checked her temperature again. "110..." Kagami thought sadly, as she put the thermometer down next to all her medical supplies. Konata was snuggled in Kagami's bed, with Kagami sitting in the chair next to her.
"What is wrong with me…? Am I too stressed, because of college?" Kagami asked herself as she remembered this was the second time she had failed Konata. "I am going to have to do a lot to make this up to her…" Kagami sighed as she looked at the sleeping girl.
"Kagami…" Konata mumbled half asleep. "Hold me…" She pleaded.
"I am such a worthless girlfriend and yet she still loves me…" Kagami thought as a tear rolled down her cheek. "She really is an angel." Kagami smiled at this thought, crawled into the bed with the small girl, and snuggled her closely. "If this is all I can do for you… So be it…" Kagami sighed as she closed her eyes and fell asleep codling her love closely.
"I am back!" Misao said cheerfully as she walked into the apartment, which was dark now. "They can't be asleep already?" Misao thought as she walked back to the rooms and, after seeing that Konata wasn't in her own room, went to Kagami's.
After walking in and seeing the faint red color of Konata's face, Misao put her hand on her favorite little otaku's forehead. "She's burning up!" Misao thought with a gasp. "I hope she is well enough by the time these are due…" Misao thought as her heart dropped just looking at the concert tickets in her hand. "Get well soon, you little cutie you." Misao said as she lightly kissed Konata on the forehead.
"I am loved I just know it…" Konata's dream thought as a small smile played it's way onto her sleeping lips.
Ending Notes: Is it weird that most of this was written during and after I watched Winnie the Pooh?
