Konata was having such a nice dream, but no matter how hard she tried, she just could not stay asleep. It was as if some unnatural force was making her wake up, slowly Konata began to register the world around her. Once she opened her eyes she found she was lying in Kagami's lap on the tsundere's bed, while the bigger girl slowly stroked her hair.
Konata wanted to say good morning, but all that came out was a long drawn out yawn, followed by her stretching in the lavender haired girl's lap, giving off the impression she was a cat.
"I see miss lazy finally got up." Kagami giggled as she watched Konata cutely wipe the sleep out of her eyes.
"Not very nice first thing in the morning are you Kagamin~." Konata sated with a much smaller yawn, as she sat up and sleepily looked at the bigger girl with one of the laziest grins Kagami had ever seen.
"You are so damn cute!" Kagami said ecstatically as she scooped up her little otaku into a big hug.
"I know…" Konata said with a small smile, causing the two to burst into giggles.
"Okay so Inori will be hear anytime, would you like some breakfast?" Kagami asked as she slid out of the bed.
"Nah I'm good." Konata said happily, as she flashed a thumbs up.
"I will let it slide today, but you need to start eating breakfast!" Kagami said sternly, to which she got a groan in response.
"I don't think that…" Konata started to say, but was cut off by a pillow hitting her in the face courtesy of Kagami herself.
The day went uneventful for the next hour or so, the two twins and the otaku hung out in the living room watching TV while they waited for the eldest Hiiragi daughter, due to her massive hangover Misao was confined to her room…
"Hey sis don't you think that it would be so much simpler to just make a regular cake?" Tsukasa asked as the three watched the ending credits of The Cake Boss.
"You can't do that Tsukasa, it would ruin the show!" Konata said in mock horror while she held up her two index fingers in the shape of an X so to ward off the evil of the younger twins statement.
"You have to admit that they waste a lot of money on this kind of thing, not to mention all the food they are wasting." Kagami said with a slight frown; thinking about all that cake going to waste made her more than a little sad.
"You only think that way because you have no inner child!" Konata accused as she started to laugh at the face Kagami gave her, it was a mix of anger and shock.
"I have plenty of inner child thank you!" Kagami huffed crossing her arms as she let her angry side take over.
"Well I say you don't, Kagami's inner child packed up and moved out a long time ago." Konata snickered.
"Why you little…" The tsundere said angrily as she raised her fist with the intention of smacking the small otaku, but once she saw the smaller girl flinch, she felt as if someone punched her in the gut hard enough to knock the wind out of her. She could tell Konata was playing and that she wasn't really scared, but the moment Konata took the pipe to the head for Kagami and the time Kagami punched the small blunette kept replaying in her mind over and over…
"Kagami…?" Konata asked as she slowly came out of her protective crouch when the older twin didn't lash out on her like the otaku expected. As soon as Konata looked up she was wrapped into a loving hug, as the bigger girl slowly rubbed the small of her back. Konata's mind just couldn't process this, one minute her tsundere was angry and about to hit her, but the next minute she is almost in tears.
"I am sorry Kona… I didn't mean to scare you; I wasn't really going to hit you." Kagami said with a strained voice as she fought off the tears that threatened to cascade down her face.
Tsukasa just smiled at the sincere act of love shown between the two.
"Kagami I…" Konata tried to say, but was cut off by a knock at the door.
"Onee-sama is here!" Tsukasa said happily, as she rushed for the door while the other two got up and sat on the couch.
"You okay?" Konata asked with more than a little worry in her voice.
"Yeah I am fine, why do you ask?" Kagami said with a bright smile as she grabbed her loves hand and held in tenderly.
"Hey you two long time no see!" Inori happily cheered as she rushed in and began hugging all of them as hard as she could, after about ten minutes they could finally sit down and talk.
"Nice place you have here Kona-chan." Inori said with a smile as her eyes drifted to this and that in the room.
"Thanks Inori-Nee, it was hard to get one this close to the college." Konata boasted as she puffed out her chest, but it didn't last long thanks to her tsundere.
"So what did you want to come all the way down here for? Did you just want to see us?" Kagami asked getting strait to the point, which was just like her.
"Yeah I wanted to see you guys so bad, but I couldn't get the money to come down here… Well until grandpa…" Inori said with a hint of fear in her voice.
"What about grandpa?" Tsukasa asked innocently. "I hope he is doing well." The airhead stated happily, as she took a sip of the tea she had just freshly made.
"A little too well in fact, he is calling a temple meeting…" Inori said in a quiet voice, Konata could immediately see the look of, well she had never seen a look like that on either of the twins faces. It was a mix of fear, worry, respect, joy, and reverence… It was something the otaku could not describe.
"What is a temple meeting?" Konata asked after a few moments of silence.
"It is where all of the Hiiragi household come to our home temple, the one my dad manages and we have more or less a family conference." Inori stated gloomily. "Usually it is because of finances or something, but this time it's about…" The eldest Hiiragi daughter paused as she looked worriedly at her little sister.
"What is it, why are they having it?" Kagami asked as she felt the fearful stare from her older sister.
"They are calling it, because of you." Inori said with a heavy sigh. "I came to get you three since we are holding it today… They want to split you two up…" Inori said sadly as both Konata and Kagami looked at her in horror, and then shifting their gaze to each other.
"I don't care what they say I will always be with my Kona!" Kagami shouted defiantly as she stood up, fist balled in rage.
"Onee-chan you know what happens if you go against the family… They'll disown you…" Tsukasa said the last part in a whisper as she began to tear up.
"I… I…" Kagami didn't like the thought of losing her family, the more she dwelt on it the more she felt weak and useless.
"Let's just let dad handle it, but you have to control your temper or nothing will work." Inori said as she stood up. "I will give you a few minutes to change, but we need to go…" And with that, Inori left the room leaving the three younger girls' alone.
"I will always be with you Onee-chan, Kona-chan!" Tsukasa said with determination, that one small act touched her sister immensely.
"Thanks Tsukasa, well let's get ready." Kagami sighed, but had a unwavering smile on her face.
After a few minutes, the group was dressed and ready. "Let's go show 'em what were made of!" Konata shouted excitedly as the quartet left for the train station.
The train ride to the Hiiragi temple went rather quickly for the group, Kagami and Inori had a chance to talk about this and that, while Tsukasa and Konata fell asleep. However, the closer the train got to their destination the more you could feel the tension in the air around them, so intense that the airhead and otaku woke up a little over half way there, Kagami was a little shocked knowing how hard it is to wake those two up...
"This is our stop." Inori said as the four got up and exited the train. "Aunt Mikan should be waiting for us with the car that way we don't have to walk all the way home." Inori informed the younger girls as they walked out into the parking lot to find their transport.
"Tsukasa, Kagami over here, come give your auntie a big hug!" The middle-aged women shouted as she waved them over. Tons of makeup and dyed bright orange hair, Konata's first thought was 'Scary'.
"Hi auntie Mikan, I'm happy to see you!" Tsukasa said with a happy little smile as she hugged her aunt.
"Hello aunt Mikan, thank you for getting us today." Kagami said with a happy tone with a slight bow, but you could tell she was being very cautious in how she spoke.
"Think nothing of it dears; I was so happy to get to see you two again!" The women said with a smile as she unlocked her car. "Alright everyone hop on in, you as well Miss Izumi…" She said with a slightly dark tone as she glanced over at the blunette.
Konata felt as if she was being pierced with a lazar, she couldn't move her feet so she just stood there and kept visible shrinking against the crazy aunt's death stare. Kagami saved her pulling her into the car.
The tension was back with a much greater force during their drive, Inori and Mikan talked mainly about the upcoming temple festival while the three in the back sat quietly. Kagami had thought that they would be fine with how her aunt greeted them, but after seeing the glare she gave Konata the tsundere was less then convinced.
Kagami didn't have a chance to think about it to much, because they reached her old house rather quickly since they went by car. After exiting the vehicle the twins were suddenly smothered by their parents.
"We missed you so much!" Miki said happily as she crushed her daughters in a huge bear hug, after a few minutes she reluctantly let go so that her husband could hug them as well. "Kona-chan…" Miki said almost evilly as she turned to face the petite girl, moving swiftly she caught the little girl in a death hug.
"I am happy to see you too mom…" Konata gasped as she had a hard time breathing.
"I am sorry Kagami I tried, but they wouldn't listen to reason." Tadao said once his wife stopped trying to kill their surrogate daughter, although she didn't stop holding the small blunette she did stop squeezing her.
"What are they mad about?" Kagami asked with a sigh since she already knew what it was.
"Your Mother's father is unhappy that you are Yuri and he plans to confront us about it." Tadao said as he put emphasis on the fact it was not his father that was making the commotion.
"Don't make me sound like the bad guy!" Miki said with a pout as she snuggled Konata tighter.
"Please don't upset mom, my life may depend on it…" Konata said whispering the last part inaudibly.
"Well in any case we need to get to the temple so we can defend you two, so go get changed." Tadao said in a serious voice, as he turned to Inori and Matsuri and whispered something to them.
"What do you mean get dressed?" Konata asked looking down at her apparel trying to see what is wrong with it.
"No one is aloud to go into the temple without the right clothes!" Miki said happily as she produced a Miko dress out of nowhere.
"Wait you don't mean I have to wear one?" Konata said with a blush as she backed up a little bit, bumping into Kagami and Tsukasa.
"Think of it as cosply Kona-chan!" Tsukasa said with a happy smile.
"I always did want to see you in a shrine maiden outfit…" Kagami said with a scary grin as she closed in on the otaku.
"Wait don't I get a say in this, or at least a…" Konata could not finish her sentence due to the other three forcefully 'helping' her change.
After a good deal of whining from Konata about the state of dress, her being the size she was and all, and quick snack the family made their way to the Hiiragi family temple. The trees had just started to bloom and with the sun at its current place in the sky it was a beautiful day, but they didn't get to admire nature for long since they were soon in the large building that sat in the center of the grounds.
Upon entering one of the bigger chambers Konata found that more people then she thought were seated there, at the head of the long table a little old man sat. He had to have been at least eighty years old and had a long white beard.
After Kagami and her family took their spot the elderly man spoke. "Tadao I gave you my daughter and this temple to keep and to manage. Raising your child in such a way not only reflects badly on you, but the whole Hiiragi name." He spoke dryly as he glanced between Kagami and Konata.
"It is that Izumi Konata's fault; she has bewitched our poor innocent Kagami!" One of the aunts shouted as she pointed at the otaku. Now usually Konata would stand up for herself, but in this atmosphere she felt so ashamed even though she didn't do anything wrong. She did not understand why she suddenly felt so drained and upset; she was starting to feel dizzy.
"What do you have to say Tadao?" The old man asked as he clicked his tongue in a disapproving manner.
"I see no reason why we should have such an out casting of these girls for how they feel, it says nowhere in our beliefs that they can't love each other." Once he said the word love, almost all of the adults groaned in disgust.
"Love is meant for a man and a woman, not two girls!" One of the men yelled as all of the adults started to bicker at once, they were saying different things, but one thing stayed the same and that was them blaming Konata.
"My head hurts, why am I getting so worked up?" Konata thought as she started to lose a grip on her reality.
"Stop fighting, I don't care what any of you say I will love my Kona until the day I die!" Kagami shouted standing up and looking her grandpa in the eye.
"Such rebellion, you see how this horrible existence has corrupted her?" Mikan yelled as she referred to Konata and that was the last straw…
Konata had no idea what had happened, she knew she had been silently crying during the time when the adults were yelling all those horrible thing about her. Then Kagami yelled at her grandpa, after that she heard something mean, but it was all too fuzzy.
"How are you feeling?" Kagami asked sweetly as she stroked her loves cheek.
"What happened?" Konata asked as she tried to sit up, but winced in pain as her head throbbed.
"You just collapsed, all those emotions got to you, and you couldn't fight them off." Kagami said as she laid a wet towel on her otaku's head. "You yelled so loud I thought they were trying to cut your arm off!" Kagami said before giggling slightly.
"What did they decide?" Konata asked as she shifted in the bed.
"As long as you don't hurt me it will be okay…" Kagami said with a warm smile.
"How did you manage that?" Konata asked as her eye lids started to droop.
"I went tsun-tsun on them." Kagami giggled as she saw Konata sigh and fall asleep with a happy little grin.
"How is she doing?" Matsuri asked as she walked into Kagami's old bedroom and sat down beside Kagami on the bed.
"She is just fine, today was pretty hectic." Kagami sighed as she cracked her knuckles.
"I thought you were going to beat those old geezers senseless." Matsuri laughed quietly not wanting to disturb the sleeping girl.
"They would have deserved it too." Kagami said laughing quietly as well. "If Inori hadn't gotten us out of there…" Kagami sighed again as she looked at Konata's sleeping form and could not help but smile.
"Do you want to come eat yet?" The brunette asked as she got up and began walking towards the door.
"No I think I'm gonna be with Kona until she wakes up." Kagami said softly as she caressed her sleeping lovers' cheek.
"Okay remember your other friends are here too…" Matsuri said as she closed the door softly leaving the two lovebirds inside. "Damn I kinda wanted to see Kagami beat someone up today…" She thought feeling a bit cheated.
"Are they coming down?" Misao asked happily.
"No Konata fell back asleep and Kagami insists on being with her." The second oldest Hiiragi daughter reported to the group in the living room. Misao had rallied Ayano and Miyuki together to be any support they could, but when they got there, the action was already over.
"Darn I wish they would hurry up so this party can begin!" Misao whined as she flopped back onto the couch.
"Didn't you invite the Kohai Misa-chan?" Ayano asked kindly trying to take her hyperactive friends' mind off her annoyance.
"Yeah, but they have tests…" Misa complained as she growled into a couch pillow.
"Why don't you tell us that one story Misa-chan, the one about you and Kagami?" Miyuki asked kindly as the room quieted down to hear the fanged girls' story.
Meanwhile back in the room.
"Kagami, I need a kiss or I might die." Konata whined as she reached her arms out to try and pull Kagami closer.
"We can't have that now can we?" Kagami laughed as she leaned in and kissed her blunette.
"Kagami I smell something good!" Konata said excitedly even though she had a head ache.
"Want to go downstairs?" Kagami asked, once she received a nod from the smaller girl the older twin proceeded to lift her up
"… It was really stinky, but she denies it to this day!" Misao end with a loud laugh, getting the whole room to laugh as well.
"I brought snacks!" Tsukasa called out as she walked into the living room with a tray of cookies.
"Yayz!" Misao cheered as she attacked the helpless plate of goodies.
"I smell Tsukasa cookies!" Konata said in a drowsy voice, gaining the attention of the whole room. Konata was being carried piggyback by none other than Kagami.
"About time you two show up, I have been…" Misao started to rant, so Tsukasa took this time to pull Miyuki into a different room.
"You wished to talk to me Tsu-chan?" Miyuki asked with a gentle smile.
"Yeah I wanted to ask if you would meet with Mikeru tomorrow after classes…" Tsukasa said shyly as she began to fidget.
""Of course, any specific reason why?" The pinkette said as she grabbed Tsukasa's hands and pulled her a little closer.
"He just wants to talk to you… Miyuki can we…" Tsukasa asked, as she looked into Miyuki's large purples eyes.
Miyuki's answer was simple, as she leaned in a captured the younger twins lips with her own…

"I am your navigator Akira Kogami!" Akira shouted in a cutesy voice before looking at the subtitles with a confused then angry look…
"And I am the assistant Minoru Shiraishi." Minoru said with a slight bow.
"I don't think I like being able to read what I am doing!" Akira shouted angrily as she waved one hand, then the other, then picked up a glass of water then… "STOP IT OR SO HELP ME!"
"Any way I have a few brief things to address for the author, seeing how someone threatened his life about his ending notes…" Minoru said with a sigh as her looked over at Akira.
"I didn't do crap so don't look at me like that." …
"The author would like to announce that this was more of a filler chapter so he is sorry it is so short." Minoru said with another bow.
"That is no excuse if it were me all the chapters would be like OVER NINE THOUSAND!" …
"Second he would like to say that…" Minoru started to say before music cut him off.
Ending theme~
"Aw is it time to go already, well we hope you review because you love me so much!" Akira said in a cutesy voice befor… "I AM PISSED NOW!
