"Hey, wake up sleepy head." Kagami cooed as she gently shook the sleeping older girl.
"I don't want to… Kagamin~ is so soft and warm…" Konata mumbled lazily as she nuzzled into the tsundere's lap, trying to find refuge from the troublesome voice that would not let her sleep on her heavenly pillow.
"I'm sorry Kona, but you are going to miss your stop if you don't get up." Kagami apologized as she forced the smaller girl into an upright position, despite how much that said girl had protested it.
Once Konata was sitting upright it didn't take long for her to fully wake up and it didn't take long for her hyperactive tendencies to kick in either, now wide awake and bored Konata decided to annoy her tsundere for the remainder of the trip.
*Poke*
"What is it Kona?" Kagami asked sweetly, but only received a blank stare as her answer. The tsundere was a little confused, but didn't think too much of it as she went back to reading the newspaper she had picked up right before they got on the train.
*Poke*
"Do you need something Kona?" Kagami asked as she looked back at the smaller girl only to find that same blank stare; now Kagami was a little annoyed, but decided to let it slide this time as she refocused on her paper.
*Poke*
Kagami gritted her teeth; she wasn't going to lose her cool over something like this! She was better than that, there was no way she was going to lose this battle and snap at the smaller girl…
*Poke*
"What do you want!" Kagami snapped much to Konata's delight; Konata always knew how to get a rise out of the younger girl.
"I love you." Konata said softly with a happy little smile on her lips.
"I love you too, even if you are a brat sometimes." Kagami giggled and much to her surprise Konata giggled with her, Kagami was happy to see the girl she loved so genuinely happy.
Now arriving at the Saitama Prefecture: Satte stop
With that announcement Kagami and Konata both stood up allowing Kagami to get Konata's bags for her. Kagami also walked with Konata over to the doors of the train, but stopped her right before she could exit.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Kagami asked warily, she knew how hard it was to tell you parents that you're Yuri…
"I'll be okay, but we are still doing stuff at your house tonight right Kagami?" Konata asked with one of her cat like smiles, her personality had returned in full since the events of the past few days and Kagami was happy for that.
"Yep I'll have Tsukasa or my mom back cookies, but you better get going now." Kagami said as her and Konata shared a quick hug right before she slipped out the doors.
The last thing Kagami heard before the doors shut completely was an exasperated Konata shouting… "I am going to drown in my own sweat, why is it so friggen' hot! ACK my Nagoya accent slipped out!"
Kagami giggled as she retook her seat as the train started to move again. "Another anime reference… She will never change…"
Konata was so hot she felt like she was melting and not in the good way like when she was kissing Kagami, it didn't help that she ran all the way to her house to try and escape the heat faster.
"I'm home Daddy, Yu-chan!" Konata called as she kicked off her shoes and dropped her bags near the front door, too hot to care about them at the moment.
"Hey Konata could you come to the kitchen we need to talk." Sojiro called in a deeper tone then Konata was used to, but she didn't think a lot about it; maybe his throat hurt?
"Yes Daddy?" Konata said a little meeker then she usually did as she finally realized the tone of voice he had… One of authority…
"Before that would you like something to drink? It is awfully hot outside." The older man said with a smile that served to calm Konata down a little.
"He can't be too mad if he is smiling right?" Konata thought, still not knowing what she could have done to make him get this tone of voice.
"I have a few questions I need to ask you and I want you to answer them truthfully, okay?" Sojiro asked, going back to the same deep voice as before, setting a cup of juice in front of his daughter.
"Okay Daddy, just ask away." Konata said as she eased back into her chair, it was the same sentience he used when he found out Konata took one of his games without asking first. "I must have just been paranoid about what I'm going to tell him…" Konata thought with a slight laugh.
"You know how much your mother and I love you right?" Sojiro asked with an almost unnoticeable clamor in his voice.
A little stunned at the question Konata sat up straight and faced her dad, a seriousness entering her own voice. "Of course I know how much you two love me…" Konata said with a little fear in her voice, not sure where her father was going with this.
"Please try and keep that in mind…" The older otaku said as he stood up to emphasis he was the bigger of the two, the head of the house, and what he said goes. "I won't allow you to like Kagami Hiiragi, she is a fine girl, but I cannot accept you being Yuri."
Konata felt pain, like someone had just stabbed her straight through the heart with a rusty knife. The little blunette couldn't seem to focus on what was going on around her; she just wanted to curl up and cry. She had finally found someone who loved her for being her and now her dad wouldn't allow it?
It took a few minutes, but Konata finally chocked out her response. "How did you…?"
"Kagami's older sister called and let it slip, Matsuri I think." Sojiro said, voice softening as he walked over to his daughter planning on consoling her, It hurt him deeply to see his daughter so sad, but her being Yuri went against all of Kanata's plans for their daughters future.
He was a little shocked that when he reached his hand out to put it on her shoulder and it was forcefully slapped away, he watched as his daughter stood up and walked to the other side of the table to face him.
"You can't do this to me… She loves me for who I am and I love her too!" Konata said angrily, pissed that he would try and stop her from being happy.
"Konata this isn't love and in time you will get over it." Sojiro said calmly, he expected his daughter to get mad, but this was different this was outright rebellion that he felt coming from her.
"It is too love! It is the same love that you and Mama had!" Konata shouted as she bit back her tears.
"That is enough! As you parent I forbid you from seeing that girl ever again!" Sojiro yelled as blind fury started to seep into him, how dare Konata compare his and Kanata's pure love to that of her and another girl!
"Ha, you a parent don't make me laugh you were never a father to me!" Konata yelled, but not in rage, her screams were of despair and sadness… First her mom dies, then she is bullied her whole life, but life was finally kind to her and gave her love… Now she was going to lose her father or her love and it hurt her.
"That is it, until you understand how morally wrong you are then I don't want to see you in this house again!" Sojiro yelled as he stormed out of the house, slamming the door as he left.
She had just lost her father… Konata dropped to her knees and sobbed, it hurt so much…. So much…
"Oh Kanata all I wanted to do was make your dreams for her come true now look what I have done…" Sojiro thought as he walked down the street head hung low in desolation.
After about an hour of Konata lying on the dining room floor bawling her eyes out, she finally got up and walked towards her room. "I am going to see Kagami tonight; I have to be happy…"
Konata pulled out her rolling suitcase and began packing it full of her favorite manga's and anime, her DS, and even her computer harddrive.
As the tiny otaku was going through her shelf, since she had a feeling she wouldn't be seeing it for a while, she found her old photo album. "Mama…" Konata mumbled as she pulled out her favorite picture of her mom and began to cry again.
"You'd still love me… Right…?"
Konata finished her packing and managed to get a lot of things into one suitcase and a backpack, right before she left she called out to Yutaka, but didn't receive an answer. "Must be at Minami's…" Konata thought as she left the house.
However, Yutaka was curled up under her bed crying silently to herself… She knew she should have said bye to her Onee-chan, but she was just too devastated at the moment to move…
After the thirty-five minute walk to the Hiiragi house Konata was feeling pretty tired, physically and emotionally, not to mention she was covered in sweat. "Come on Konata you can do this! You may be low on health and manna and this boss seems huge, but you have faced worse!" Konata thought to herself as she made it to the Hiiragi house.
After walking up to the front door and then back to the side walk a few times Konata grabbed her head and sighed. "I can't do it, I'm too nervous! I wish I could just character change…" Konata looked up as if she would suddenly, but no such luck. "Where are Guardian Chara when you need them?" Konata shouted exasperatedly.
"So were you even going to come in?" Inori asked as she suppressed a giggle when Konata jumped at her sudden appearance.
"I was just about to and…" Konata said as she flushed a deep red, with looked even redder since she was so out of energy from walking in the heat.
"Don't try to lie to me kiddo, I have been watching you from the window for ten minutes." Inori said as she failed at suppressing her laughter making Konata blush more. "You are too cute!"
"Well um you see…" Konata blurted out franticly waving her arms until Inori walked up and grabbed her by the shoulders.
Come on Kagami is waiting for you." Inori said warmly as she led the younger girl inside. "Kagami your girlfriend is here!" Inori laughed as she put as much emphasis on 'girlfriend' as she could.
"Hey Kona I'm so happy you're here! How are you…?" Kagami started happily, but soon lost her glee when she saw Konata's face, her eyes were blood shot from crying so long and she seemed really fatigued.
"Hey are you alright? You don't look so good." The older twin said worriedly as she felt her little otaku's forehead.
"I am fine really." Konata said with a smile that obviously forced and Kagami was about to comment when her older sister beat her to it.
"I am sure she is just tired from the walk because it is so humid, after a bath she should feel right as rain!" Inori said in her big sister voice as she grabbed Konata's hand and led the blushing girl upstairs after winking to Kagami.
"I hope Inori is right…" Kagami absentmindedly said aloud right as Miki walked in from the kitchen.
"Don't worry about it so much dear, she is probably just tired." Miki said as she hugged her daughter from behind and felt her relax a little before tensing up again.
"But she was supposed to tell her dad about us today and now she is all upset I wonder what happened?" Kagami said getting more upset by the minute as all the different seniors played through in her head; she knew she should have gone with Konata to tell her father...
"Well why don't we call and find out? Sojiro is such a kind man so I don't think you need to worry." Miki said with a smile as she picked up the phone and dialed the Izumi house.
Kagami felt a glimmer of hope, but it was soon demolished when she heard her mom's half of the conversation. "But Sojiro…" Miki said as she looked at Kagami nervously. "She is your daughter though… Hello?" With that, Miki hung up.
"W-well what happened?" Kagami asked solemnly, but she already knew the answer.
"It would seem that he disowned her and kicked her out…"Miki said sadly, but she had heard regret in the man's voice and hoped he would change his mind, for now she told Kagami to get the rest of the family before Konata' got out of the bath.
"My poor Kona…" Kagami thought sadly as she began to round up her family.
The bath really did help, after about twenty minutes of soaking Konata got out feeling very refreshed and since she had washed her face, any signs of fatigue or that she had been crying were gone much to her relief.
"Come on Konata you have to be happy for Kagami!" Konata cheered softly as she looked for her clothes, it soon dawned on her that she had packed so much of her other stuff that she had neglected to pack any clothes.
"How did I forget to pack clothes?" Konata whined to herself a little louder then she thought, because it was answered by snickering from the other side of the door.
"Don't sweat it shorty I'll get you something." Matsuri said now laughing quite evilly as she rushed off to get the poor blunette something to wear since the clothes she walked there in were covered in sweat.
"I, wait huh?" Was all Konata could reply to this gesture of what she hoped was kindness; she sat down on a bath stool and waited for the older girl to return whish she did rather quickly.
"Okay, I got you an old pair of Tsukasa's athletic shorts, one of my tee shirts, and a pair of Kagami's old underwear." Matsuri said with glee as she passed them to the little otaku.
"Um thanks…" Konata said not sure why this girl was getting so excited about giving her a pair of Kagami's old underwear to put on…
"EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!" Konata shouted causing Matsuri to crack up right there in the hall.
A few minutes later at the dinner table Matsuri was retelling her story to the rest of her family; Inori had to give her sister credit, it was a pretty good maneuver on her part. Even Tsukasa was giggling at her older sister's little prank if you could call it that.
"Don't you think it's funny Kagami?" Matsuri slyly asked the blushing tsundere.
"Sh-shut up, what if you upset her? Didn't we just have a family meeting about that?" Kagami snapped at her older sister, extremely embarrassed at the thought of Konata wearing her panties…
"Yeah and I was told to treat her like a little sister, which is what I am doing!" Matsuri snapped back, unhappy that her little joke wasn't appreciated by the witty girl.
"Oh, that's right I forgot you were a heartless." Kagami leaned back and snickered at her own joke, one Konata would have got if she had come down yet.
"What did you just call me?" Matsuri yelled; she wasn't sure what Kagami had meant, but she didn't like the tone that Kagami had said it in.
"Come on girls can't our first family dinner with Kona-chan be a pleasant one?" Miki asked with her sweet and caring smile, but the way she was holding the serving spoon scared the two hot headed girls, since they knew what she was capable of with that thing.
"Yeah I guess." Both tsundere's mumbled at the same time, not wanting to meet their mother's wrath.
It was just then when Konata came down the stairs. The shorts she was wearing were too small and her shirt was too big so it looked like she was only wearing the shirt, which fell of her right shoulder slightly.
"She is so cute!" Kagami screamed in her mind. "Wait a second, she is my girlfriend I should be able to say stuff like that out loud." Kagami gathered her composer and voiced her opinion of Konata's outfit.
"You look super cute Kona." Kagami smiled as she motioned for Konata to sit by her at the table, ignoring Inori and Matsuri's kissy face.
"Thanks Kagami!" Konata said with a happy little smile, but it was so obvious that she wasn't feeling up to par with her usual self.
"So did the bath help you feel better Kona-chan?" Tsukasa asked sweetly after they gave thanks for the food.
"Yes thanks for letting me use it; you guys have such a nice bath." Konata said with a smile and a light hearted laugh, but Kagami knew without a shadow of a doubt Konata was toning down her actions since she was in the presence of Kagami's family.
"Kona you don't have to be all stiff they all already said they except you for being you." Kagami whispered, but all she got was a nod from the smaller girl.
"So Kona-chan why don't you tell us a little bit more about your hobbies? I believe you were telling us about a game you played recently the last time you were over." Miki said sweetly, trying to get Konata to open up to them a little more, but ultimately failed.
"Oh, yeah I beat the game... It was pretty good." Konata smiled as she took another small bite of her dinner and Kagami cracked.
"Alright I can't take this, I hate to disrupt everyone's meal, but we are getting it over with now." Kagami said as she looked at her mom, who sat her fork down and took a sip of her drink to clear her throat.
"Oh, not at all dear…" Miki smiled at her daughter; even she was feeling a little down thanks to Konata's current mood. "Konata we called your father…" Miki started but took a pause when she saw Konata's horrified face.
"Why would you do that?" Konata asked weakly as she felt tears stinging the corners of her eyes at the recent memory, Kagami noticed the tears as well and slipped an arm around Konata to know she was there for her.
"We know what he said and how he feels, but don't worry Konata we will change his mind." Miki felt the biggest smile work its way onto her lips when she saw the blunette's reaction, her face was one of worry, then happiness, then confusion all in a matter of seconds and her expressions were sickeningly cute.
"Why would you do that for someone like me?" Konata asked as she put her head down in shame not wanting anyone to see her.
"Because from this point on…" Matsuri started.
"…You are officially…" Inori said as they all got up.
"…Part of the family!" Tsukasa finished with enthusiasm as she and the other three Hiiragi girls group hugged the now blushing otaku, while the parents just laughed.
"For now Konata you will be sharing Kagami's room and when we get the change I will go get the rest of the things you need, but for now everyone needs to sit back down and eat." Tadao said as he took another bite of his meal.
Dinner went rather uneventful from then on, Konata was still quiet, but she at least added to the conversation now and then. Kagami noticed that Konata was only getting the food from the plates within her reach even though the one on the other side of the table had all her favorites.
"Hey Konata don't you want something other than curry and potato balls?" Kagami laughed as she asked her dad to pass the dish over to them.
"Sorry I guess I am still a little nervous." Konata said as she happily ate the Yakitori. All the female Hiiragi's had the exact same thought… "We will have to change that."
After dinner the girl's all went into the den to watch TV and talk; Konata had tried to help Miki with the clean-up, but neither Kagami nor her mother allowed Konata to lift a finger.
"So Konata, what manga are you really into right now?" Inori asked as she tried to start up a conversation.
"Strawberry Panic..." Konata replied absent mindedly without even really thinking about it.
"Oh is it?" Matsuri said slyly as she looked at Kagami then back to Konata. "So are you two going for the gold in the bed Olympics tonight?" Matsuri said as she started laughing at the two beat red girl's with Inori soon joining her.
"What does that mean Onee-chan?" The confused airhead asked her blushing older twin. "Is it fun? Can I join too?" Tsukasa was even more confused when her two eldest sisters fell off their chairs laughing. "Oh come on you guys I know I'm not the most athletic, but if it's in bed I might be really good!" Tsukasa said pouting.
"Twincest…" Konata mumbled, making Kagami get even redder before smacking Konata in the head.
"Tsukasa what they meant was…" Kagami started as she leaned in to whisper in her little sisters ear, Tsukasa nodded, she nodded again, and then her face exploded into the same bright red hue Kagami's was, getting more laughter from the three other girls.
After about two hours of random game show watching with the Hiiragi family the events of the day finally caught up to Konata and even though she did her best to stay awake her head just kept drooping.
"I think Konata needs to get some sleep so we are heading to bed." Kagami told her family, but it was mainly directed at Konata.
"No I'm fine…" Konata ended her sentence with a huge yawn, pretty much sealing her fate.
"Since Kona-chan has already taken her bath why don't you get one real quick Kagami?" Miki said with a smile as she and the two girls' stood up.
"Sure thing, see you in the morning." Kagami said as she kissed her mom on the cheek, receiving a kiss on the forehead from her mom in return.
"Goodnight…" Konata said quietly.
"Goodnight Kona-chan." Miki said as she lovingly kissed Konata on the forehead as well causing her to blush.
After saying goodnight to the rest of the family the two headed upstairs.
"Okay I'm going to get a quick bath so make yourself comfy." Kagami said as she grabbed some pajamas and left the room.
"This is going to be so great! Kona is living with us!" Kagami cheered in her mind. "Now we can make her happy and…" Kagami's thoughts ended when entered the room after taking her bath and saw instead of Konata sleeping in her bed Konata had gotten a futon and was lying on the floor.
"Konata you don't have to lie on the floor." Kagami said as she walked over to the girl to find her asleep.
With a smile, Kagami picked up the small otaku and gently placed her in the bed and after turning out the light she slid in behind her before falling asleep.
Ending Notes: Okay so the reason I don'treally like this one is the fact that I had to make Sojiro disown her and I did not want to, but to keep the story going the way I want I had to do it...
Ha-ha, bed Olympics gotta love it!
