Two Sides of The Same Coin Chapter 10 – The Happy Days Ended Pt. I
"All I ever wanted was a little piece of life
In a world where I decide things on my own
All I ever needed was a little piece of hope
And then things are going to turn the other way."
World of Fantasy – Helloween
Kagami's House – Night
After the talk with Tadao, Miki tried to comfort Kagami, who was still shocked with her father act, he didn't do anything, his negative answer was his silence, which alone meant a thousand words, or maybe only one. Nothing more was important, except by his silent "no". Konata didn't know what to do, what if I can't visit Kagamin again? What if her can't visit me any other day? I can't imagine myself without her embrace, her caring, her deep eyes, everything... Nothing matters to me.
"Konata..." - The purple haired girl called.
"Yes, my dear..." - Konata answered while sobbing.
"I'll prove to dad that you're worth my love. It's not important for me if he doesn't approve. I'll convince him, no matter if it will take one week, two weeks or even 10 years! I just want to be together with you!"
Miki was looking very proudly at her daughter, I never imagined Kagami would be that persistent, I know she's a good girl and such, but now she's risking her good daughter image because of her love... That's my girl!
"Girls, I will go up now, I need to talk with Tadao, it was probably a tough day for him. I'll leave you two alone here for now. Good night."
Then Miki left the room, leaving only Kagami and Konata alone in the table. They were looking at each other, both were sobbing and letting tears drop. They held hands, and stared silently at each other for some seconds. They didn't want to talk, they only wanted the comfort that only lovers can give.
"Kagamin~..."
"What, Konata?"
"You're brave. Braver than I ever thought. Are you sure risking your reputation because of me is really that worth?"
"Konata, after I started dating you my life changed dramatically. I thought... *sob* I thought I would never need to love someone, need to have a lover. I believed that someday I'd find a boy I might have a little crush, then we would marry, have children and then I'd have a normal life..."
"So... That means..."
"Wait. However I found out that I don't want that normal life. I need something more, I need one more thing, which is you my dear. You were the missing piece of my life. And I'll fight very hardly to have it, no matter how, I don't want just an ordinary life that I planned in the start, I want a special one with you by my side. Understand?!" - She was almost yelling at that time, Konata stood up and hugged her love.
They stood in this embrace for some minutes, no words, no tears, no random thoughts. Kagami was still sat down, Konata was embracing her from the back. The romance in the air was creating simply an amazing feel.
"To think that it is all about to end..." - Konata said in a very low tone.
Kagami looked surprised at the blue haired girl, end? Do you really think we're in this risk?
"Kagami, I don't want you to have me as a burden, if marrying me means losing your father love, I prefer to break up with you..."
Kagami was silent, she didn't know how to react to that, Konata was really calm and speaking peacefully, however you could hear the melancholy in her voice. All both wanted was to sit down and cry, but they weren't able to do that, they needed to do something.
"But... But... What about your father?! He was so happy you found someone! Are you willing to disappoint him?!"
"My dear, all I want is you to be happy. My feelings are less important to me than yours are. Don't worry with that, I'm sure you'll get over, it's just a thing that we can't ignore now."
"Konata..."
"Shh... No need to speak any more words. Kagami, promise me that you'll get in a better state, with a good reputation and caring from everyone, no matter if you marry a boy, all I want is to see your smile, see that you managed to accomplish your goals."
"THAT'S ENOUGH KONATA! I NEED YOU! I'LL ONLY BE HAPPY WITH YOU! I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE! FUCK! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND US?!" - Kagami was screaming, while breaking the embrace and starting to cry.
Konata was surprised by her lover reaction. She looked down and then let some tears drop.
"Kagami. Don't disappoint me. We're in such a state that either of us will end up hurt in a way. We just have to know what to do now..."
"But..."
"You're in panic dear... I-I think that Ingo or Rhandy would know a good thing to tell us now... B-But, they are far from us now. Remember when we went to that concert? It was then that our relationship got stronger. And it got so strong that we got the courage to tell our parents about this! And now, because of our ego, we are ruining it down to pieces."
"I understand that... Konata. Let's go up to my bedroom..."
"What?"
"I want to pick up one thing there."
"Okay..."
The two girls got up and then entered the elder twin bedroom. The purple haired girl opened a wardrobe, and there it was, a picture of both girls in Kyoto, right in the front of Keeper's guitar, by the side of Savage's drumstick, also in the front of the picture was a ring, which was given by Madman to them. And then a special place behind the guitar where the X-Japan T-shirt was placed.
Kagami picked the guitar and a piece of paper, she sat down on the bed and wrote a small letter, Konata was still stood up looking at the other items inside the closet. So you really liked this huh? That concert will be marked in our lives forever I guess.
"Konata."
"What?"
"Have this..."
Kagami then picked a sticker and put that piece of paper in the guitar, giving it to Konata. The letter was simple, yet full of feelings.
"No drummer can play without his two sticks perfectly"
"Konata, remember what the guys told us?"
"Yes..."
"Those guitars, do you remember what was written on its back?"
"Yes..."
"So, are you willing to disappoint all those guys too? Those four kind people who saved our life, gave us a guitar worth millions of yens, all wishing our best?"
"I don't want this to happen... But..."
"No more buts Konata. I want you to have my guitar now, and you give me yours, we won't be able to play it, specially because of the handing, however that will show that we won't be complete without the other. And I'll only give your guitar back when we date again."
"So, do you mean we'll break up?"
"Only for a while, until I convince dad that we can be together."
"I see..."
"Konata, promise me that you'll love me till the very end of this story!"
"I promise Kagami, only if you promise me the same."
"You know I wouldn't be able to love anyone else."
The two then hugged and cried a little, this was official, they were breaking up, every bed of rose has its spikes, and the so happy couple felt them. They didn't resist, and started staring each other.
One last long stare as lovers.
One last embrace as lovers.
One last kiss.
Konata and Kagami got themselves into a deep state, kissing each other, there was nothing but them in this world.
And when they stopped, they looked deeply into each other eyes. Kagami said:
"I'll miss you Konata... But we have to break up for now..."
~L~
Konata's House – Morning
It was about time to Konata wake up and go to school, however she wasn't really in the mood for it. View her ex-girlfriend after that discussion last night would be surely hard, however she had to stand up and make all the time they were together worth something, and that thing would be a heads up and face Tadao, who would have to accept them in a way or another.
The blue haired girl stayed in the bed for some more minutes, until she gave up and stood up, changed in her uniform and then picked her bag. Inside it was her portable console, if she got too down during the day it would be quite useful.
Oh, I'm forgetting one thing...
Konata opened her wardrobe and saw Kagami's guitar there, she picked the ring by the side of it and put in her finger. We may not be together anymore, but I'll sure to carry you with me anywhere, no matter what.
After that she ran downstairs, picked her chocolate cornet and off she went to school with Yutaka.
~L~
School – Lunch Time
Luckily I didn't encounter her while coming here... I wonder if I'll lunch with Misao today or if I'll go to their room... The purple haired girl was thinking a lot, it was weird for her to see Konata again, they still loved each other, but they were worried if it would be the best to be together.
"Hii-Ra-Gi!"
That voice!
Misao walked up to Kagami's table in no time, and was already holding a box with some meatballs inside. I'm sure what you'll ask Misao, just don't insist, please!
"Will you lunch with us today?"
"I don't know..."
"Oh... So you're planing to lunch with your..."
"No more words! I'll lunch with you!"
"Yay!"
Kusakabe went back to her table all happy. I wonder why she didn't let me complete that phrase... Don't everyone already knows that they are dating? The brunette thought. Kagami took some time, she wasn't finding her boxed lunch.
Oh my! Where are they?!
She kept searching, but without any luck, the bento disappeared. Or did she forget it somewhere? The pig-tailed girl walked up to Ayano and Misao and then asked for a minute to see something in her sister room. The worst thing that can happen now is to find Konata with it...
~L~
Hong Kong Airport – Noon
The band was already waiting to take up the plane and go to Saitama, King was almost fully restored, as soon as they arrived in Japan he was going to the hospital take out all the bandages and then do the last checkups to see if he was ready to stand up again. The shot he took in the knee some days ago was a little worse than the expected, but nothing really worrying.
The plane didn't took long to arrive, all the members were tired, so they didn't talk too much inside the airport, they were only with headphones listening to music, like they always did.
Inside the plane they found their respective seats and prepared to another long travel. Savage was by King side, while Madman and Keeper were side by side too, the A Class was quite comfortable, it wasn't too luxurious like the plane they took from Germany to Kyoto, but it was good enough for a shorter travel like this.
"Hey Savage..." - King started a talk
"Yes?"
"What do you expect from this Saitama concert?"
"Well, nothing special... I guess it will be just another concert, it will rock like we always do, but nothing really special will happen there I believe."
"I'm starting to worry that this was just a stupid movement I did..."
"Don't worry, everyone commits errors dude. Be sure of one thing, we already sold out many times, it won't be a small concert like this to bankrupt us *laughs*!"
"Oh, sure *laughs*! What are you listening now?"
"Just some Dream Theater, what about you?"
"Megadeth, System Has Failed, what an amazing album it is! The story behind it is quite interesting too, I hope we never have to release a 'System Has Failed'... They had everything, but because of an accident the band was coming to an end."
King looked to the side and saw Mr. Madman sleeping, Keeper was just looking out of the window, while listening to some Metallica, which was his favorite band. I wonder what he is thinking...
King picked his cellphone and looked at the time, they were traveling for half an hour, there was still some plenty time until they arrived in Saitama. The anxiety was only growing inside the guitarist heart, all he wanted was to find "that girl from the concert again", even he knowing that she wouldn't be there, he still had some expectations that she would be there.
"Savage, do you think we will ever see that girls again?"
"You asking this again?"
"Sorry, I forget if I asked something or not... But please, answer me again."
"Well, we have a chance now... But don't forget, those two are dating, and almost married! You will not have a chance with Kagami."
The vocalist felt an anger, which was common for him since his school days, he learned to control it, however it was always painful to remember some things that happened. And thinking that he will be alone was hard. The song 'Tears in a Vial' was repeating for some time in his cellphone, he never got used of it, listening to it a hundred times was okay, and not only this song, some others too.
"Well... I still want to see what will happen in that concert... We had much fun in Kyoto, we had the second biggest concert in the history in Seoul and Hong Kong was a normal one. What waits for us now?"
"Do you remember some weird experiences we had in some concerts?"
"How would I forget *laughs*! Playing for a crowd of fifty people, playing with a country band in Brazil, playing with cows surrounding us... The good old times..."
Both chuckled, they loved to do this during the travels, talk about the band past, remember some funny scenes, think about the band future. King and Savage were really friends, there was only one event in the band history that was buried very deeply, no one wanted to remember this event that changed their lives drastically.
The two members continued the talk for some time, until they decided to take some time and rest, as they needed energy for the next concerts. And while they rest, let me talk with you my dear reader, talk about some history of these members.
Let's start by the band's leader, shall we? King was born in a small city in Brazil, e raised with good parents and a brother, during School he met Savage, during Highschool he met Keeper and Mr. Madman, however they had their own paths settled, no plans for a band. King is the youngest member in the band, he graduated in one of the best Brazilian colleges for Computer Science. After that he decided to play a little guitar again, having his younger brother to play drums for him. This was the beginning of Children of Hell.
Now that you know a little more of one of the band members it's time to we return to our main story line, with the girls, in a next opportunity I'll talk with you again my reader, about another member of the band.
When Savage woke up they were still halfway the flight. King was still sleeping, there was nothing to do, so he decided to play some games on his cellphone to kill some time. It would be a long day... They'd arrive in Saitama later that day and then take one day off to mount the stage, then the big concert would start.
~L~
Ryouou Highschool - Lunch Time
Kagami arrived her sister classroom and found the three girls quietly lunching, Konata looked to be okay, and that's what mattered for her. She came by Tsukasa side and asked for her lunch, Tsukasa picked the box and gave to the elder twin, Kagami thanked and then walked back to her own classroom.
She didn't even look at the blue haired girl, neither to the pink haired, it was almost if they were invisible. Konata finished her chocolate cornet and then picked her portable console from her skirt pocket, and started to play a RPG, that was her way to forget problems. Just like King's way was listen to extreme metal, Kagami's was to read books, Konata's was playing games.
Konata was so concentrated that she didn't even notice that Miyuki and Tsukasa started to talk, for one of the first times they've ever met, they were having a conversation with a real meaning.
"Tsukasa-san, what happened to your sister and Konata-san?"
"Well... I'm not sure... Konata and onee-chan stayed downstairs to talk with dad and mom, it took so long that I was almost sleeping, until I heard dad coming upstairs, and later mom. After some time onee-chan and Konata went to her bedroom, after that I slept and don't know anything more... What happened?"
"I imagine they had a fight... Not Konata-san and Kagami-san, but your father and them..."
"Why would this happen? I mean, dad is so caring... I think you're wrong!"
This 'You're wrong' pierced the pink haired heart so deep that was almost inexplicable the pain she felt that time. Why can't you see even the easiest things? Is this not obvious, Tsukasa-san?!
And after that they talked for some more time until the bell rang, Miyuki held no anger at Tsukasa, it was just a momentousness pain, she doesn't want to be wrong, but it was no reason to fight.
~~ Meanwhile ~~
Kagami arrived her classroom, Misao wasn't done even with half of the meatballs, which was a good sign that she didn't take long. The purple haired girl walked towards the table and sat down by Misao's side, like always.
She wasn't very cheerful that day, so she tried to avoid any possible talk, this method worked for a few minutes, until the energetic brunette changed her focus to the purple haired, Ayano was finishing her boxed lunch, Kagami too, however Misao was just done with 3/4 of the meatballs.
"Hey, Hiiragi~... What happened?"
"I... I prefer not to talk about this..."
"Aw... C'mon... Don't hide your feelings from us! We can help you!"
"Misao, you wouldn't understand it..."
"C'mon... C'mon! I nee-."
Misao was interrupted by a sudden attack by Kagami. The purple haired picked her chopsticks and in no time she picked a meatball and pushed down in the brunette's throat. Which made her lose her line of thought and even "better", stop talking. Ayano was looking at her friends with a smile on the face.
"You two are very funny! But, Kagami, you didn't need to be that aggressive with her! She only wanted to help!"
"Well, now let's see how she helps me with another meatball in her mouth!"
And as soon as Kusakabe swallowed one meatball, Kagami put another one inside her mouth, in an aggressive way again. The two continued like this for some more minutes, and for the luck of Misao, there were no more meatballs left to be used as a weapon five minutes before the bell ringing.
~L~
Outside School - After School
One day passed, it was the so waited day of the concert. The suffering of Konata and Kagami was very big, no one talked about this matter. Tadao was looking indifferent, he didn't know that both broke up, neither Soujiro knew that.
It has been a while since classes ended. Kagami and Tsukasa are already in the front gate, waiting for Konata and Miyuki to appear. No one spoke a word, they were only sat in the bench. They are taking too much time... What is happening... The long haired twin thought.
"Hey Tsukasa, I'm going inside the school check for them. Wait for me here! And please take care of my bag here."
"Okay."
Then Kagami ran as fast as possible upstairs, searching for Konata's classroom. When she arrived there she found no one, however there were still two books over two tables. That must be it... They are still here...What is it? Kagami found a shining object near to one of the books. It was a ring. Kagami picked it and put in her skirt pocket. She then started to search every classroom to see if she could find any of the two.
Some minutes later she went to her own classroom and found Konata sat in her chair, Miyuki was sat in the closest chair. Konata was heads down and Miyuki was caressing the blue haired head. What is happening..?
Kagami came closer and saw that both were talking in low tone, they were so focused that didn't notice the purple haired girl coming closer. What is this? Is Konata... Crying? The elder twin was still from a certain distance, that both didn't notice her presence yet, but she was close enough to hear Konata's sobs and their talk.
"Miyuki... I loved her... I loved her so much... Why that had to happen?"
"Calm down Konata-san... Everything is going to be alright..."
"I... I don't know what to do anymore... All my energy to study, play games, read manga... It's fading away..."
"It's just a phase, soon you'll get over it..."
"But... I don't want to get over it... Getting over it means that all the nice things we did together was a lie... Better speaking... It was like a dream..."
"Konata..."
"Miyuki... What would you do if your love had to leave you? After all the promises of love to each other... After all the good and bad moments you had together... What would you do? You always have the answer to everything, so please tell me..."
"I... I... Sorry... I don't have the answer for that..."
Kagami took a step forward, and started to speak:
"I would stop crying and live on."
Konata looked at her friend surprised. Miyuki was surprised too, both were looking to the twin tailed girl.
"Konata. I said that I didn't leave you! I still love you! My dad is an idiot... He doesn't understand your importance to me! I was shocked when he made that to us. But we have to live on! Your father was so proud of you! I was so happy because of us and him, until my father messed everything up."
She made a pause, the other two girls were still looking surprised to the elder twin. The purple haired took a deep breath and continued to talk.
"You play lots of games, don't you Konata? So, take this as a boss stage! We have to be stronger, take all the possible boosters and defeat my dad! I love him a lot, but this time, I will have to challenge him in order to be with the one I love. Konata. I was being stupid last night. And here, with Miyuki as my witness, I want to ask you again this:"
Kagami then picked two small objects in her skirt pocket and threw one in Konata, who picked the object in the air. It was a ring. Mr. Madman's ring. Kagami put it in her finger and then pointed at Konata:
"Konata! Do you want to date me?"
Konata smiled, she was really shocked with Kagami's radicalism, but she liked it. That's my tsundere!
"Yes! I will date you Kagami!"
Miyuki was looking at both with a smile in her face. Konata got up and ran toward the purple haired girl, hugging and kissing her. They were both smiling and laughing. Until Tsukasa came by and saw this.
"Onee-chan!"

View her ex-girlfriend after that discussion last night would be surely hard, however she had to stand up and make all the time they were together worth something, and that thing would be a heads up and face Tadao, who would have to accept them in a way or another.

"Hii-Ra-Gi!"
That voice!
Misao walked up to Kagami's table in no time, and was already holding a box with some meatballs inside. I'm sure what you'll ask Misao, just don't insist, please!
"Will you lunch with us today?"
"I don't know..."
"Oh... So you're planing to lunch with your..."

She kept searching, but without any luck, the bento disappeared. Or did she forget it somewhere? The pig-tailed girl walked up to Ayano and Misao and then asked for a minute to see something in her sister room. The worst thing that can happen now is to find Konata with it...

Hong Kong Airport – Noon
The band was already waiting to take up the plane and go to Saitama, King was almost fully restored, as soon as they arrived in Japan he was going to the hospital take out all the bandages and then do the last checkups to see if he was ready to stand up again. The shot he took in the knee some days ago was a little worse than the expected, but nothing really worrying.
The plane didn't took long to arrive, all the members were tired, so they didn't talk too much inside the airport, they were only with headphones listening to music, like they always did.
Inside the plane they found their respective seats and prepared to another long travel. Savage was by King side, while Madman and Keeper were side by side too, the A Class was quite comfortable, it wasn't too luxurious like the plane they took from Germany to Kyoto, but it was good enough for a shorter travel like this.
"Hey Savage..." - King started a talk
"Yes?"
"What do you expect from this Saitama concert?"
"Well, nothing special... I guess it will be just another concert, it will rock like we always do, but nothing really special will happen there I believe."
"I'm starting to worry that this was just a stupid movement I did..."
"Don't worry, everyone commits errors dude. Be sure of one thing, we already sold out many times, it won't be a small concert like this to bankrupt us *laughs*!"
"Oh, sure *laughs*! What are you listening now?"
"Just some Dream Theater, what about you?"
"Megadeth, System Has Failed, what an amazing album it is! The story behind it is quite interesting too, I hope we never have to release a 'System Has Failed'... They had everything, but because of an accident the band was coming to an end."
King looked to the side and saw Mr. Madman sleeping, Keeper was just looking out of the window, while listening to some Metallica, which was his favorite band. I wonder what he is thinking...
King picked his cellphone and looked at the time, they were traveling for half an hour, there was still some plenty time until they arrived in Saitama. The anxiety was only growing inside the guitarist heart, all he wanted was to find "that girl from the concert again", even he knowing that she wouldn't be there, he still had some expectations that she would be there.
"Savage, do you think we will ever see that girls again?"
"You asking this again?"
"Sorry, I forget if I asked something or not... But please, answer me again."
"Well, we have a chance now... But don't forget, those two are dating, and almost married! You will not have a chance with Kagami."
The vocalist felt an anger, which was common for him since his school days, he learned to control it, however it was always painful to remember some things that happened. And thinking that he will be alone was hard. The song 'Tears in a Vial' was repeating for some time in his cellphone, he never got used of it, listening to it a hundred times was okay, and not only this song, some others too.
"Well... I still want to see what will happen in that concert... We had much fun in Kyoto, we had the second biggest concert in the history in Seoul and Hong Kong was a normal one. What waits for us now?"
"Do you remember some weird experiences we had in some concerts?"
"How would I forget *laughs*! Playing for a crowd of fifty people, playing with a country band in Brazil, playing with cows surrounding us... The good old times..."
Both chuckled, they loved to do this during the travels, talk about the band past, remember some funny scenes, think about the band future. King and Savage were really friends, there was only one event in the band history that was buried very deeply, no one wanted to remember this event that changed their lives drastically.
The two members continued the talk for some time, until they decided to take some time and rest, as they needed energy for the next concerts. And while they rest, let me talk with you my dear reader, talk about some history of these members.
Let's start by the band's leader, shall we? King was born in a small city in Brazil, e raised with good parents and a brother, during School he met Savage, during Highschool he met Keeper and Mr. Madman, however they had their own paths settled, no plans for a band. King is the youngest member in the band, he graduated in one of the best Brazilian colleges for Computer Science. After that he decided to play a little guitar again, having his younger brother to play drums for him. This was the beginning of Children of Hell.
Now that you know a little more of one of the band members it's time to we return to our main story line, with the girls, in a next opportunity I'll talk with you again my reader, about another member of the band.
When Savage woke up they were still halfway the flight. King was still sleeping, there was nothing to do, so he decided to play some games on his cellphone to kill some time. It would be a long day... They'd arrive in Saitama later that day and then take one day off to mount the stage, then the big concert would start.

Ryouou Highschool - Lunch Time
Kagami arrived her sister classroom and found the three girls quietly lunching, Konata looked to be okay, and that's what mattered for her. She came by Tsukasa side and asked for her lunch, Tsukasa picked the box and gave to the elder twin, Kagami thanked and then walked back to her own classroom.
She didn't even look at the blue haired girl, neither to the pink haired, it was almost if they were invisible. Konata finished her chocolate cornet and then picked her portable console from her skirt pocket, and started to play a RPG, that was her way to forget problems. Just like King's way was listen to extreme metal, Kagami's was to read books, Konata's was playing games.
Konata was so concentrated that she didn't even notice that Miyuki and Tsukasa started to talk, for one of the first times they've ever met, they were having a conversation with a real meaning.
"Tsukasa-san, what happened to your sister and Konata-san?"
"Well... I'm not sure... Konata and onee-chan stayed downstairs to talk with dad and mom, it took so long that I was almost sleeping, until I heard dad coming upstairs, and later mom. After some time onee-chan and Konata went to her bedroom, after that I slept and don't know anything more... What happened?"
"I imagine they had a fight... Not Konata-san and Kagami-san, but your father and them..."
"Why would this happen? I mean, dad is so caring... I think you're wrong!"
This 'You're wrong' pierced the pink haired heart so deep that was almost inexplicable the pain she felt that time. Why can't you see even the easiest things? Is this not obvious, Tsukasa-san?!
And after that they talked for some more time until the bell rang, Miyuki held no anger at Tsukasa, it was just a momentousness pain, she doesn't want to be wrong, but it was no reason to fight.
~~ Meanwhile ~~
Kagami arrived her classroom, Misao wasn't done even with half of the meatballs, which was a good sign that she didn't take long. The purple haired girl walked towards the table and sat down by Misao's side, like always.
She wasn't very cheerful that day, so she tried to avoid any possible talk, this method worked for a few minutes, until the energetic brunette changed her focus to the purple haired, Ayano was finishing her boxed lunch, Kagami too, however Misao was just done with 3/4 of the meatballs.
"Hey, Hiiragi~... What happened?"
"I... I prefer not to talk about this..."
"Aw... C'mon... Don't hide your feelings from us! We can help you!"
"Misao, you wouldn't understand it..."
"C'mon... C'mon! I nee-."
Misao was interrupted by a sudden attack by Kagami. The purple haired picked her chopsticks and in no time she picked a meatball and pushed down in the brunette's throat. Which made her lose her line of thought and even "better", stop talking. Ayano was looking at her friends with a smile on the face.
"You two are very funny! But, Kagami, you didn't need to be that aggressive with her! She only wanted to help!"
"Well, now let's see how she helps me with another meatball in her mouth!"
And as soon as Kusakabe swallowed one meatball, Kagami put another one inside her mouth, in an aggressive way again. The two continued like this for some more minutes, and for the luck of Misao, there were no more meatballs left to be used as a weapon five minutes before the bell ringing.

Outside School - After School
One day passed, it was the so waited day of the concert. The suffering of Konata and Kagami was very big, no one talked about this matter. Tadao was looking indifferent, he didn't know that both broke up, neither Soujiro knew that.
It has been a while since classes ended. Kagami and Tsukasa are already in the front gate, waiting for Konata and Miyuki to appear. No one spoke a word, they were only sat in the bench. They are taking too much time... What is happening... The long haired twin thought.
"Hey Tsukasa, I'm going inside the school check for them. Wait for me here! And please take care of my bag here."
"Okay."
Then Kagami ran as fast as possible upstairs, searching for Konata's classroom. When she arrived there she found no one, however there were still two books over two tables. That must be it... They are still here...What is it? Kagami found a shining object near to one of the books. It was a ring. Kagami picked it and put in her skirt pocket. She then started to search every classroom to see if she could find any of the two.
Some minutes later she went to her own classroom and found Konata sat in her chair, Miyuki was sat in the closest chair. Konata was heads down and Miyuki was caressing the blue haired head. What is happening..?
Kagami came closer and saw that both were talking in low tone, they were so focused that didn't notice the purple haired girl coming closer. What is this? Is Konata... Crying? The elder twin was still from a certain distance, that both didn't notice her presence yet, but she was close enough to hear Konata's sobs and their talk.
"Miyuki... I loved her... I loved her so much... Why that had to happen?"
"Calm down Konata-san... Everything is going to be alright..."
"I... I don't know what to do anymore... All my energy to study, play games, read manga... It's fading away..."
"It's just a phase, soon you'll get over it..."
"But... I don't want to get over it... Getting over it means that all the nice things we did together was a lie... Better speaking... It was like a dream..."
"Konata..."
"Miyuki... What would you do if your love had to leave you? After all the promises of love to each other... After all the good and bad moments you had together... What would you do? You always have the answer to everything, so please tell me..."
"I... I... Sorry... I don't have the answer for that..."
Kagami took a step forward, and started to speak:
"I would stop crying and live on."
Konata looked at her friend surprised. Miyuki was surprised too, both were looking to the twin tailed girl.
"Konata. I said that I didn't leave you! I still love you! My dad is an idiot... He doesn't understand your importance to me! I was shocked when he made that to us. But we have to live on! Your father was so proud of you! I was so happy because of us and him, until my father messed everything up."
She made a pause, the other two girls were still looking surprised to the elder twin. The purple haired took a deep breath and continued to talk.
"You play lots of games, don't you Konata? So, take this as a boss stage! We have to be stronger, take all the possible boosters and defeat my dad! I love him a lot, but this time, I will have to challenge him in order to be with the one I love. Konata. I was being stupid last night. And here, with Miyuki as my witness, I want to ask you again this:"
Kagami then picked two small objects in her skirt pocket and threw one in Konata, who picked the object in the air. It was a ring. Mr. Madman's ring. Kagami put it in her finger and then pointed at Konata:
"Konata! Do you want to date me?"
Konata smiled, she was really shocked with Kagami's radicalism, but she liked it. That's my tsundere!
"Yes! I will date you Kagami!"
Miyuki was looking at both with a smile in her face. Konata got up and ran toward the purple haired girl, hugging and kissing her. They were both smiling and laughing. Until Tsukasa came by and saw this.
"Onee-chan!"
