A Lucky Star Fanfiction

Episode 5 (Sensei Temptations): Chapter 3

Author's Notes: Hey everyone. I just want to let everybody know that I have NOT given up, nor will I EVER give up on ANY of my stories. I've been very preoccupied for these last couple of months, and thus have had very little time to write. I'll explain more in the ending notes, but for now, enjoy the update!

"Truth or dare?" Yutaka asked. "What's that?"

"Oh, it's just a fun little game some of my friends and I used to play in America." Patty said, putting on her most innocent face.

"Yeah! I hear it's really popular in the states." Konata said.

"Really?" Kagami asked, raising an eyebrow. "So how do you play?"

"You mean how do WE play." Konata corrected, pointing at Kagami. "We're all gonna play tonight!"

"Wait a minute, don't the rest of us have any say in this?" Kagami asked.

"Nope!" Patty said. "You've all officially been drafted!" She said with a wink.

"But-" Kagami began to protest.

"Come on, Kagami." Tsukasa said. "It might be fun."

"Tsukasa, you don't even know how to play." Kagami sighed.

"Don't worry, it's really simple." Patty assured the group as she ran into the kitchen and came back with a bottle of water. "This is all we need for now." She said as she placed the bottle down on its side on the floor. "Now everybody, sit in a circle around the bottle."

Before long, everybody was sitting next to each other facing the bottle of water. "Okay. Now what?" Kagami asked.

"Now we can begin!" Patty exclaimed as she grabbed the bottle and spun it. After a brief few seconds, the cap of the bottle stopped to face Misao.

"Huh? Me?" Misao asked. "What happens now?"

"Now, I ask you a simple question." Patty said. "Truth or dare? Pick one. If you pick truth, I get to ask you any one question and you have to answer it honestly. Pick dare, and I get to tell you to do any one thing. And you have to do it."

"So that's how this works, huh?" Misao asked, getting an affirmative nod from Patty. "Alright then. Dare me, sucker!" Misao said with a smirk.

"Somehow I knew you'd pick dare." Patty said. "Okay then. I dare you to act like a monkey till I tell you to stop." She said.

"Sure thing." Misao said. "Oops! I mean, ooh ooh, AH!" She said as she stood up and began scratching her armpits like a chimp, causing everyone in the room to laugh as she walked around making monkey noises. Eventually, Misao wandered into the kitchen and came back out waving a banana over her head.

"Okay Minegishi. That's enough." Patty said between bouts of laughter.

"Huh. That was actually kind of fun." Misao said as she peeled the banana and started eating. "Now what?" She asked through a mouthful of banana.

"Now it's your turn to spin the bottle." Patty said. "As long as it wasn't the person before you, you get to truth or dare whoever it lands on."

"Oh, okay. That's easy enough." Misao said as she reached for the bottle and spun it hard.

"Alright! Let the game begin!" Konata shouted as she bottle began slowing down.

"Thanks for helping me back to the house." Yui slurred as she and Ms. Kuroi both stumbled through the front door of the Izumi household.

"No problem." Ms. Kuroi said as they closed the door behind them.

"You're a really good person, you know that?" Yui asked. "You're a great person, and a great drinking buddy!"

"Aw, you're just saying that." Nanako said as Yui collapsed on the couch with Ms. Kuroi sitting up against it.

"No really, you're an awesome person. Way better than my cheating, never home husband." Yui said.

"You- you don't mean that!" Nanako said, pointing at Yui. "You don't know for sure that he's cheating on you. You can't give up, you know?"

"I don't even want to think about him right now." Yui said as she looked down at Ms. Kuroi. "Thanks again. You really mean a lot to me."

"Aw, you mean a lot to me too." Nanako said. "You're a really good friend."

"You know, in a weird way," Yui said, "I always thought you were kind of cute." She said with a little laugh.

"Aw, don't even start." Ms. Kuroi said. "Don't even start that with me."

"What, you got a problem with it?" Yui asked.

"Of course not!" Nanako assured her friend. "You mean a lot to me, you know? And I wouldn't want to cheapen our friendship with that kind of thing."

"With what kind of thing?" Yui asked. "What're you even talking about now?"

"You know…" The teacher hesitated. "Sex."

"What?!" Yui asked, reeling back in apparent shock. "No! No way! That's- Aww! Why would you even? Naw! Well, maybe…"

"Wait, what was that last part there?" Nanako asked, looking at her friend.

"Why would you even?" Yui asked.

"No, no, after that!"

"Well… Maybe, I dunno. I never really thought that would come up." Yui said, blushing brightly. "So wait, you mean you wanna have sex with me?" Yui asked.

"What? No!" Nanako quickly said. "I mean, kind of, but it just wouldn't be a good idea!" She said, punctuating her sentence with a cute little hiccup.

"Well why not just blow off some steam?" Yui said, stretching and arching her back to wrap her arms around Nanako's head.

After a brief struggle, Nanako managed to get Yui's arms away from her. "But you're married and I'm dating your uncle." Ms. Kuroi said. "That would just make things really weird for everyone."

"But nobody needs to know." Yui said as she leaned over and caressed Nanako's cheek. "Please. It's been so long since I've been intimate with anyone. Kiyo-kun is never around and mama's feeling neglected."

"You're drunk." Nanako said, turning away with a blush. "You don't know what you're saying."

"You're drunk too." Yui teased. "Maybe you don't know what you're saying." She suggested.

"I don't know." Ms. Kuroi said.

"See? I told you!" Yui said with a victorious chuckle. "I promise I won't tell uncle Sojiro." Yui said, making odd drunken motions with her free hand.

"I guess I'll think about it or something." Ms. Kuroi laughed. Yui began laughing as well before losing her balance and falling off the couch.

Yui and Ms. Kuroi laughed together on the floor for a couple of minutes. As they calmed down, they found themselves in a position where Yui was essentially laying on top of Ms. Kuroi. The two women looked into each other's eyes and in one drunken moment knew exactly what needed to happen next. Nanako and Yui dove into each other in a writhing mass of drunken passion.

::SECTION OMMITTED FOR A BIG AWESOME DRUNKEN MISTAKE::

As Kiyotaka Narumi left the airport, it didn't take him long to find who he was looking for. "Hey! Satomi, how are you?" He asked as he walked up and pulled his co-worker into a hug.

"Narumi-kun, are you sure you want to do this?" The other woman asked. "What about your wife?"

"Yui is a big girl. I'm sure she can handle the news. Besides, I think this is for her own good." Kiyotaka said, looking directly into Satomi's eyes.

"Well… If you're sure." Satomi said. "You're a great man. She'll never do better than you." She said as she pulled him into another hug.

"Thanks." Kiyotaka said as Sojiro pulled up and saw the two.

"What the hell?" Sojiro asked himself as he got out of the car. "Kiyotaka? What is this?"

"Huh? Oh, Izumi-san!" Kiyotaka said, turning to face the other man.

"Who is this?" Sojiro asked, motioning to Satomi.

"Oh, this is my good friend, Satomi Yoneda." Kiyotaka said as Satomi gave a polite bow.

"I wanted to wish Narumi-kun good fortune in his life." Satomi said.

"Hey, don't make it sound like we'll never see each other again." Kiyotaka said. "I'd like to introduce you to my wife sometime soon. Will you be around long?"

Sure. I'd be happy to meet her." Satomi said. "Though I might get a little jealous, being around such a lucky woman as her." She said with a slight blush. "I'll be seeing you then." Satomi said as she waved goodbye to Kiyotaka and Sojiro and walked away.

"Hey Izumi-san." Kiyotaka said. "Sorry about that. How have things been?"

"What exactly was that all about?" Sojiro asked with a worried look on his face.

"She's one of my co-workers." Kiyotaka said. "She's had a crush on me for a while, but she's a nice woman."

"A crush, huh?"

"What? Attractive men like myself can't control what women think of them." Kiyotaka said. "Though, I guess you might not know about that." He said jokingly with a shrug.

"For your information, I happen to be dating someone." Sojiro said, face turning slightly red.

"Uh oh. Is she legal?" Kiyotaka asked, concern evident in his voice.

"Of course she's legal! Why do people keep asking me that?"

"I hope that wasn't a serious question."

Sojiro paused for a bit before responding. "Fine, I suppose that's fair." He sighed. "So what's with that crush? Is there something I should know, or…"

"What? No! I would never cheat on Yui! You know that!"

"But you said she had a crush on you." Sojiro said.

"Yeah, but she'll get over it. She knows I'm married, and that I'd like to keep it that way. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done what I did." Kiyotaka said.

"Right. Sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you." Sojiro said. "But you know, she's been pretty down lately. She's worried that you might have been fooling around."

"But that's ridiculous! She knows I'd never do that!"

"Yeah, but she says that you've been more distant with her than usual. I hope you can understand why that might have her worried what with how little you two see each other already." Sojiro explained.

"I know, and I feel bad about it." Kiyotaka sighed. "But hopefully that'll all be in the past when I show her this." He said as he dug a slip of paper out of his pocket.

"What's this?" Sojiro asked as he took the paper from him. "Is this your paycheck?"

"Not only that." Kiyotaka said. "It's my last paycheck."

"Wait a minute." Sojiro said. "Did you… Did you quit your job?"

"Let's just say that I did a little bit of soul searching, and I finally got my priorities straight." Kiyotaka said with a smile.

"Well, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you. She's been thinking of you a lot lately." Sojiro said, scratching the back of his head.

"Well then what are we waiting for?" Kiyotaka said as he went to the car ahead of Sojiro. "Let's get going!"

"Is it almost over?" Yutaka asked with a little grunt as Konata stared at a nearby clock.

"Almost." Konata said as she turned around, once again revealing the black markings scrawled all over her face to the group around the bottle. Among the designs were a moustache, a monocle, and a smiley face using Konata's mole as an eye. The instant she was turned around, Misao burst out laughing.

"I still can't believe you let me do that, Koko!" Misao exclaimed through her laughing fit.

"I know, I shouldn't have picked dare." Konata sighed. "And evidently neither should have Yu-chan." Konata said with a smirk as she watched her cousin still standing on her head.

"Are you okay, Yutaka?" Minami asked. "Your face is starting to get a bit red."

"I'm fine, Minami-chan." Yutaka assured her friend. "Konata, can I get down yet?" She asked, groaning a bit as she tried to keep upright.

"Aaaaand, time!" Konata shouted as the clock ticked to 5:00 p.m.

Almost instantly, Yutaka flopped down to the carpeted floor on her back, panting for breath as the blood in her head began to finally disperse to the rest of her body.

"Yu-chan, are you alright?" Tsukasa asked as she and Minami both knelt down on either side of the smaller girl.

"Yeah. I'm okay you guys." Yutaka assured them. "Just give me a sec to catch my breath."

"You did great, Yu-chan!" Konata said, giving her cousin a thumbs-up.

"Thanks, Konata." Yutaka giggled as she sat up. "So now I spin the thing, right?" She asked.

"Yep!" Patty said. "Go ahead and give it a good twirl!" She said as Yutaka leaned forward and spun the bottle. It made a few rotations before slowing down and eventually stopping with its cap pointed at Hiyori.

"Whew!" Hiyori thought. "I got Yutaka. This should be easy."

"Okay, Tamura-san." Yutaka said with a smile. "Um. Truth or dare?"

"Okay." Hiyori said. "I'll go with truth."

"Good. I'm glad you picked that." Yutaka said as she grabbed her backpack and reached inside. "Here it is!" She exclaimed as she pulled out a doujin with two characters embracing on the cover. These characters looked like a spitting image of Yutaka and Minami about to share a kiss, Yutaka wearing a dress, and Minami dressed like a prince.

"NOOOOooooo! Not that! Anything but that!" Hiyori cried in her thoughts as she recoiled visibly.

"Uh oh." Konata muttered. "I think Hiyorin might be in over her head here."

"It took me a while," Yutaka began, "but I finally noticed what's so familiar about these characters. And I need to ask you now that you need to tell the truth." She said.

"This is it! It's all over! I'm going to die here!" Hiyori thought, trying and failing to keep a straight face.

"So in all honesty." Yutaka said, almost seeming to intentionally be building up the pressure. "Where did you get the ideas for the outfits in this one?" She asked, causing Hiyori and Konata both to comically fall backwards.

"Well," Hiyori said as she got up, scratching her cheek nervously, "I actually got my inspiration from my brother. He makes a lot of costumes and such, and I asked for some help with a kind of fantasy theme. He actually did a rough sketch of the costumes and let me use that as a reference sheet."

"Oh, wow! So he's actually going to make these?" Yutaka asked, her eyes lighting up.

"I think he's planning on it, yes." Hiyori said, feeling as if she had just dodged a literal bullet.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Yutaka chimed. "Oh, here. I'm done borrowing it too." She said as she handed the doujin to Konata. "It was really good." She said as she turned back to Hiyori. "I felt almost like I was in the story itself." She said with a smile.

"You are! Stop saying things like that! Every time you do, I die a little more inside! What would Tsukasa-sempai think if she knew?" Hiyori thought, still sweating buckets.

"Tamura-san, are you okay?" Yutaka asked after a brief pause. "You look all red."

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine, really!" Hiyori exclaimed with more than a little bit of nervous laughter as she reached forward and spun the bottle. After several rotations, the bottle's cap came to rest pointed directly at Kagami.

"Oh, great." Kagami sighed. "Alright, what've you got?"

"This is perfect!" Hiyori exclaimed in her thoughts. "Now that we know that Konata-sempai is with Kusakabe-sempai, all that's left is these two." She thought, glancing rapidly between Kagami and Ayano. "If these two aren't together, then Patty owes me one full body massage." She thought with an evil grin. "Okay, Kagami-sempai." Hiyori said. "Truth, or dare?"

"I know I'll probably come to regret this, but fine. I'll go with dare." Kagami said.

"Alright!" Hiyori exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth afterwards. "Sorry. That was supposed to stay on the inside." She said with a blush. "A-anyways. Kagami-sempai, I dare you…" She said, pausing in order to extend the moment of truth. "I dare you to kiss Minegishi-sempai."

"WHAT?!" Kagami exclaimed as Ayano gasped in surprise. "C-can you even do that?" She asked with a blush.

"Actually, yes." Patty said. "In fact, there are usually a lot of dares like that in this game." She explained. "But since everyone else here is in a relationship, you two are the only ones that it would really be a dare for."

Kagami was annoyed and nervous, to be sure. But she couldn't deny Patty's logic.

"You can do it however you two feel comfortable." Hiyori said. "If you want, it can even be a quick peck on the hand or something." She said as she glanced over at Patty, who seemed to still be smiling despite Kagami's reaction to the dare.

"I… I mean- I don't…" Kagami stuttered as she looked from Hiyori, to Patty, and then finally to Ayano. "Ayano, I…"

Ayano didn't say anything, being content to simply smile and give a slight nod.

Kagami was at a loss for what to do. She didn't want to reveal her relationship yet, but she also didn't want to be distant with Ayano. "I know what I should do, but why can't I just go in for the kiss?" Kagami asked herself. "I know I love her. Why am I so reluctant to tell anyone else?" She wondered as she continued contemplating her decision.

However, before she could decide, Yukari walked into the living room and interrupted the game. "Okay everyone, the surprise is ready!" She called. "Come on out to the yard." She said happily as she ran out ahead of the others.

"Well, you heard her." Kagami said, standing up quickly. "Come on, let's not keep her waiting." She suggested as she left the room first.

"Damn!" Hiyori thought as she clenched a fist. "Slipped right through my fingers!"

Very soon, just about everyone had gotten up and made their way out of the room. Misao stopped when she realized that Ayano was still sitting down in front of the bottle. "Hey Ayano, come on!" Misao said as she went back and extended a hand to her friend.

"Oh. Thank you, Misao." Ayano said as she let the fanged girl help her up.

"WHOA!" They heard Konata exclaim. "This is awesome!"

"Come on, hurry up!" Misao shouted as she pulled Ayano along behind her.

When they got outside, what they saw momentarily stunned them. There was a small stage set up in Miyuki's backyard, complete with drum set, microphone stands, and the works!

"Mother, how did you do all of this?" Miyuki asked as Yukari walked onstage holding a keytar.

"Oh, I had a little help." She said with a smile.

"I think I recognize this stage." Minami said just before Guy and Honoka Iwasaki walked onstage. Honoka plugged her guitar into a nearby amp while Guy took a place in front of the microphone.

"Hiro, where are you?" Guy asked into the microphone as a tall, bespectacled man in a black suit and a loose red tie hopped up onto the stage, nearly tripping in the process.

"Sorry, sorry!" He said as he took his place behind the drum set.

"Father?" Miyuki asked. "What are you doing home so soon? I thought you were on business until the end of the month."

"Well, your mother called and told me what had been going on." Hiro said with a chuckle. "Take good care of my daughter, Minami-chan. She needs someone to look after her." He said with a hearty laugh, causing Miyuki to blush brightly.

"I had no idea you could play any instruments!" Miyuki said through her blush.

"There's a lot about us you don't know." Honoka said, not seeming to be talking to any one specific person. "Okay, let's get started!" She said as she broke into a strong guitar tune.

"Ooh! I recognize this song!" Konata said as the guitar part continued. "This is Onigokko! This is the theme to Record of Ag***st War."

"That's right." Guy said with a nod and a wink just before his cue to start singing came up.

Before long, just about everyone was dancing to the song and having a good time. However, Ayano and Kagami were sitting on opposite sides of a small bench in Miyuki's backyard, looking away from each other. Finally, Ayano sighed and spoke up.

"Kagami, it's okay if you aren't ready to say anything about us yet." Ayano said. "I'll support you in your decision, and I'll be here when you're ready." She said.

"Thanks." Kagami said, looking down at her feet. "Come on! Say more than just that!" Kagami thought, but she didn't.

They remained like that for the entire song as everyone else around them had fun. Every so often, one of them would come over and ask how they were each doing. Of course, they would only get generic answers like "I'm okay." Or, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay, this next song is going to be a lot slower." Guy explained. "And I don't think I'm the right person to sing it, so I'll hand the microphone off to Yukari for now." He said as he stepped back from the mic and Yukari handed him her keytar.

"Oh my. I haven't sung in forever." Yukari said with a blush. "I hope I do well." She said as she cleared her throat and Guy started on the keytar.

"No way." Konata said.

"Hey, I recognize this one." Kagami thought as Yukari began to sing. "Oh yeah! This is Suteki Da Ne! I remember this from Final Fan***y X!" She thought as the song continued.

"Wow! Miyuki-san, your mom is awesome!" Konata said in awe.

As the song continued, the girls separated into pairs with their respective girlfriends and began to dance. It wasn't anything particularly organized, but each pair was having fun with their own simple, slow dance.

About halfway through the song, Kagami had finally had enough. "Screw it. I suppose you only live once." She thought as she turned to her downcast lover. "Ayano." Kagami said as she held out her hand. "Could I have this dance?" She asked, causing Ayano's face to light up as she smiled and took Kagami's hand.

"Are you sure?" Ayano asked.

"Just shut up and dance with me." Kagami said with a smile, causing Ayano to giggle to herself.

As Kagami led Ayano to the dance floor, each of the other couples took a moment to look and register what was happening. Hiyori and Patty took an extra long look, and continued to watch through the rest of the song.

"Kagami, they're staring at us." Ayano said, beginning to blush.

"Yeah, I know." Kagami said, beginning to look nervous as well. "I need to do this quick, before I lose my nerve." She thought as she cradled Ayano's chin in her index finger and tilted her head up ever so slightly. Both Patty and Hiyori held their breath as they watched Kagami and Ayano share their first public kiss.

"Huh. Would you look at that." Hiyori said, legitimately surprised that everyone had truly gotten together.

"Looks like you owe me one full body massage." Patty smirked, causing Hiyori to laugh a bit as well.

"Right." Hiyori said, giving Patty a quick peck on the cheek.

"I mean it, Yui really needs to see you." Sojiro said as he pulled up to his house.

"I know." Kiyotaka said. "I feel bad for not being there for her, but I promise that won't be a problem anymore."

I feel kind of bad too." Sojiro said. "I'm sure Nanako is pretty mad at me by now." He said, scratching his head as he and Kiyotaka both got out of the car.

"That's right, you said you were dating again." Kiyotaka said. "Good for you. I guess I can stop worrying, then."

"What do you mean, worrying?" Sojiro asked.

"You need someone in that house with you that you can love in that way." Kiyotaka said. "Otherwise, what are you going to do with yourself when Konata moves out?"

"Fair enough." Sojiro said as he reached for the door and opened it slightly. "That's weird. The door is open a little bit." He said as he opened it the rest of the way. "Man, it's dark in here." He said as he flipped the light switch. "Yui, you left the door ope-" Sojiro couldn't even finish his sentence when he saw what he did.

Yui and Nanako were both sprawled out on the floor, their modesty only barely retained by each other's bodies and some stray couch cushions.

"Yui?!" Kiyotaka exclaimed when he saw the scene as well.

"Huh?" Yui moaned as she and Nanako stirred.

"What happened?" Ms. Kuroi asked herself as she sat up, realizing she was nude just in time to cover herself. "What the hell?!" She exclaimed as she looked over at Yui and Yui looked over at her.

They both screamed in surprise and made a mad dash to find their clothes as the men in the room simply watched, mouths agape.

###Lucky Channel!###

"Hiya luckies!" Akira chirped. "In case you forgot after the long delay, I'm your navigator, Akira Kogami!"

"And I'm Minoru Shiraishi, the co-host." Minoru said sadly with a polite bow.

"What's up, Shiraishi? Why do you look so down?" Akira asked.

"Well, it's because-"

"Is it because it's been so long since the last update?" Akira asked.

"Well, sort of, I guess-"

"Or is it because Smusher forgot to put our segment in the previous chapter?" Akira asked, obviously becoming agitated.

"Well, no, but-"

"Oh! Or is it-"

"Akira! Hold up!" Minoru yelled. "It's something serious, so please just forget about yourself for just one minute."

"Oh, please." Akira said, rolling her eyes. "What could possibly be so bad that you could be in this bad of a mood?"

Minoru leans over and whispers something into Akira's ear. As Minoru pulls away, Akira's eyes go wide and she looks around nervously.

"Are you sure? Like, you're serious?" She asks, to which Minoru gives a solemn nod. "Smusher, I'm sorry. I'll leave this to you for now." She says. "But don't think I'm gonna be this nice all the time, got it?" She says a little less convincingly than usual as the camera feed cuts out.

Author's Notes: Thank you, Akira. Also, sorry for forgetting you in the previous update. I'll try not to let it happen again.

Anyways, as many of you likely noticed, I haven't been updating in a while. This is because my family has suffered a recent tragedy.

My father, John G. Frigon, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer on September 11th of this year. He passed away relatively peacefully at home on October 27th at the age of 46. I'm not going to get into details right now. I'm just going to say that I'm currently in the process of moving out of the apartment to live with one of my friends for the time being.

On a brighter note, Halo 4 is coming out tonight, and that will serve as an absolutely fantastic distraction for a little while. Moving out won't be much of a hassle, and things will hopefully feel normal again in good time.

My next update will be to UnLucky Space.

Look forward to it!

P.S.: If you feel the need to talk about my father's passing, please don't do it in the review area. If you want to talk to me about it for whatever reason, send me a private message. Save the review area for reviews. See you all later. ^_^
