Hey everyone. ENJOY!

Tsukasa bit her lip, her eyes pleading sweet sorrow as she looked at her blue haired friend. Konata felt a chill run down her spine. What was the younger girl doing, looking at her like that. She suddenly felt responsibility run through her at the innocently pleading look.

"K-konata?" She asked, twisting her hand around the other in distress. "Can y-you teach me how to do karate... Like you?" She finished, looking shyly up at the older girl.

Konata is taken back by the question. Tsukasa? Karate? The two just didn't seem natural. Though it would give her points in the uniqueness factor of all moe characters, it just didn't fit her. "A-are you sure?" Konata asked, seeing if maybe she would change her mind.

Nodding her head eagerly Tsukasa felt her face heat up. "I wanna learn to be tough!" She shouted, determination filling her puppy dog eyes. To say the least Konata was surprised, she had never expected the younger twin to be so serious about much anything.

"Ummmm I uh guess thats okay... Just come to my house. Anytime should be fine." She replied, giving in.

In an instant she could see Tsukasa's face light up. She smiled sweetly at her, thanking her, before skipping happily away. Konata watched as Tsukasa skipped and hopped right into a trashcan and fell over. Deadpanning, she wondered if maybe she should have held out longer.

The next day, around noon, both girls were standing face to face in Konata's room. Tsukasa looked down at the strangely athletic otaku, determined as ever. She held her tiny balled up fists to her waist, pumped as ever to start. Konata however, was not as eager, she hoped the tiny airhead wouldn't hurt herself.

"Lets start with a simple kick eh? Get to know exactly where you are." Konata announced. Looking her new protoje in the eye. "Just try to kick me okay?" She ordered, taking a battle stance. "Don't worry about whether or not I'll get hurt." She pleaded.

Nodding and taking position Tsukasa flung her tiny foot at Konata. Who was surprised at the power behind the almighty kick. Missing the loli completely the airhead fell hard on her back. Her head now swimming as it seemed to all she had been KO'd to perfection.

"Whoa Tsukasa are you okay?" Konata asked, getting on her hands and knees. Tsukasa I'm sorry girl but this really isn't for you." She inferred, trying to talk the airhead out of this damned practice. "I mean, you're more of a wife than a warrior." She said, trying again.

The small sobs now coming from the lavender haired airhead silenced her. She worried that she had said something wrong, that she had hurt her feelings. She lifted Tsukasa into her arms and rocked her, to and fro.

Tsukasa looked up at her, tears in her eyes. "I-its just that everyones always protecting me... I'm so weak... I hate being a burden." she answered, tears threatening to overflow at any moment as she buried herself slightly into Konata's chest.

"But Tsukasa..." Konata replied, lifting the girls chin. "You aren't a burden... I like protecting you. Plus you know, guys love a damsel in distress." She said, throwing a reassuring smile and wink her way. Hoping the thought of some strapping young man would ease her mind.

"You... You like protecting me?" She asked, looking up at Konata with hope in her eyes. Konata had never seen her look like that, it made her heart flutter and tumble a tad with it.

"Yup." Konata replied, happy she wasn't crying anymore. "I do volunteer to be your knight in shining armor until you find the prince charming you long for." Konata dramatically replied, getting up and holding her hand out to Tsukasa.

Tsukasa smiled and took it "I've already found her." She said as she stood upon her feet. Konata looked at her, confused. But was quickly spun into an all knowing shock as Tsukasa gave her a quick kiss upon her cheek, and skipped merrily out of the fell back on her bed, dazed. Finally, she held a hand to her cheek.

"I could get used to being a prince.."

Sorry LR, but smut just didn't feel right in this piece. It just felt like more of a fluff to me. Sorry to disappoint.
