(Ok, a response to the comment. I can explain some of the problems, but you are right about the punctuation, mine is horrible T_T. Though as for the lightning, you have to give me a brake, I haven't even learned physics yet heheh, that's next year. Though a few people have commented on my constant use of said and I apologize. If anyone would like to, could they send me a list of other words I could use instead of said? It would be very helpful for my writing skills and for your enjoyment. As for the nurse, I never read the manga/light novel, so I don't know what she is really like and judging by the only picture I've ever seen of her, she seems like someone who keeps a level head no matter what life throws at them, so I gave the character a constantly level and calm attitude. Also, there's a running gag in my story, I wonder if anyone can find it =P. Enjoy, and thank you for any comments and criticism)

Lucky Star: Far Star

Chapter 9

The Hiiragi residence was once again filled, with the added presence of the school nurse, Fuyuki, who felt like she should explain a few things to Tadao and Miki.

"Kyouko, why did you run away"

Tadao asked, now into his concerned mode. Kyouko sighed and said

"I didn't run away, I went for a walk to calm down and got lost".

Kyouko had almost thought she had gotten out of this conversation ... almost.

"Why did you need to calm down"

Tadao asked and Kyouko sighed, saying

"I had a small argument with Kagami. Sorry Kagami".

Kyouko then bowed to Kagami, who happily accepted the apology. Tadao was about to ask another question, but Kyouko already knew what it was so, she decided to answer it for him.

"Kagami gave a secret away that was really private"

she said, looking down at the ground.

"Maybe you should tell them so it's not a secret anymore"

Kagami told Kyouko, hoping that Kyouko would agree. Fuyuki, who already knew one of Kyouko's illnesses from yesterday, decided that she would start.

"To make it easier on Kyouko, I can tell you. Kyouko is a Hemophiliac"

Fuyuki said and Kyouko sneezed, since she caught a fever from standing in the rain. Everyone was now looking at Kyouko, who sneezed again and added

"I also have a naturally weak body and immune system".

"Why didn't you tell us earlier"

Miki said, growing very concerned.

"With my last family, all they did was worry about me. I was always a bother to them, I don't want to be a bother to my new family as well"

Kyouko said, getting a bit more determination in her naturally soft speech.

"Kyouko, you will never be a bother to us"

Tadao said while nodding his head a bit.

"If it makes you feel any better, I can excuse you from gym"

Fuyuki said and Kyouko quickly shook her head, saying

"No, just dodge ball".

Fuyuki let out a pleasant laugh and said

"Ok. I have to get going, but if you ever need my help Kyouko, please, don't hesitate to come to my office".

"Thank you ..."

Kyouko started to say but Fuyuki waved her off, saying

"You can call me Fuyuki. I'll talk to you later".

She then left the house, leaving the Hiiragi family alone. Miki scooted over to Kyouko and said

"Just like Tadai said, you will never be a bother to us".

She then hugged Kyouko, this time much more lightly. Kyouko started to tear up, she didn't want them to worry about her all of the time. She suddenly felt faint and leaned onto Miki a bit too obviously.

"Are you ok Kyouko"

Miki asked as she felt Kyouko's head.

"Oh my, she has a high fever"

Miki said and both Tadao and Miki helped Kyouko to her room. Kagami looked at the window and saw Fuyuki staring through the glass. Kagami, who was slightly disturbed, opened the door and asked

"What are you doing".

Fuyuki, who looked up, smiled and said

"Oh, I'm sorry Kagami, I just really love these family moments".

"Whatever, I don't want to know"

Kagami mumbled and closed the door. She would check on Kyouko later since for now, her parents were probably going to brief her on why it was bad to keep such a secret from them. Fuyuki started to walk home, saying

"Hmmmm, Sojiro-sama may be disappointed".

Later on, during the night, Kagami decided to visit Kyouko in her room just to say good night ... that is ... if Kyouko is still awake. Kagami walked towards the room, opening the door quietly and peaking in. Kyouko turned her head and one of her eyes opened lazily as Kagami entered the room.

"Are you awake Kyouko"

Kagami asked quietly, which Kyouko responded by grumbling a quick yes.

"I'm sorry I told Tsukasa"

Kagami whispered, trying not to create too much noise.

"Hmmm"

Kyouko said. Kyouko's voice was wavering a bit, so Kagami asked Kyouko if she had been crying and she said that she had been.

"Kyouko"

whispered Kagami. She was concerned for the well being of her newest sister, who was formerly her cousin. Kyouko reached into a bag and pulled out a piece of metal that was about a foot long, if not a bit more. She pressed a button and a blade that was almost a foot long came out of the metal.

"I promise on this blade"

Kyouko said in a somewhat wavering tone, then added in a much stronger one

"that even though my body is weak, I will one day prove to everyone that I am not, everyone always tries to protect me, but one day, I will protect everyone".

The room was quiet as the gravity of what Kyouko said sank into Kagami.

'Does being weak really effect Kyouko this much?'

Kagami thought as she looked at Kyouko. Kyouko, however, was determined to prove her worth to the world, even at the cost of her own life.
