Konata and Kagami were pretty happy. Konata was sleeping over at Kagamis' house, due to a convocation that had taken place earlier that day.
"So Konata, what are you going to wish for this year?" Tsukasa asked, looking to the sky. It had just turned into 2012, and the sun was signing down on their backs. "I wish I had Kagami as an older sister!" Konata said, hugging the purple-haired girl to her right. Kagami blushed like crazy, and looked away to try and hide it. "Wha- what are you on about!" Kagami said, pushing Konata off. "I actually wish I could have Tsukasa as an older sister" Miyuki said, smiling happily as she always did. "Yay!" Tsukasa said, removing her mobile phone and started texting away. "Tsukasa! What are you doing!" Kagami yelled at her younger sister, fuming. "I'm texting mum and dad! I'm telling them that Konata will be over in my place and that I'll be back tomorrow!" Tsukasa said. She pocketed her phone and started walking down the street behind Miyuki, leaving Kagami and Konata together. Sighing and following Tsukasa's general direction, they both set off towards Kagamis' house.
So Konata had bugged Kagami all night long. She had wanted to play together, eat together, even take a bath together! And if it wasn't for the fact that my parents are here… I would have said yes. Kagami thought, sighing. Her door opened and Kagami turned over to face Konata, who was standing at the door. "Hey, Kagami… I've never really slept alone before. Can I sleep with you?" Konata said, blushing slightly and holding a pillow to her stomach. "Fine, but if you touch any weird places I'll kick your ass!" Kagami said, moving over. Konata got in next to her, put her pillow down, and tried to sleep. About half an hour later, they heard something shatter that made them both jump. When they couldn't hear anything else for a few minutes they slumped back down into the bed. "Kagami, we need to talk" Konata said, facing Kagami. Kagami turned over to face the blue haired girl. "Yeah? What's up?" Kagami asked. She could feel a blush coming on, but she tried to supress it. "Kagami, I think I-" Konata said as the door burst open, men wearing balaclavas and carrying guns rushed in. 4 men grabbed Konata, whilst 2 men grabbed Kagami. They forced them into the living room, and they both heard guns cock. It looked like a rifle but bigger, with a drum magazine. "Now, Konata. Where are they?" One man asked, holding a shotgun. "What are you talking about?" Konata replied, earning a whip from the back of the shotgun. "Where are the Excel Saga trading cards?" The man asked again. "I don't know what you're talking about! You can all go to hell!" Konata spat. The man cocked a shell with the shotgun, pushing it against Konatas' head. "I'll never tell you" She said. "That's fine" The man said, pulling the trigger. The first thing Kagami saw after she heard the round go off was that Konata didn't have a head anymore. Brains and other bodily parts were splattered against the wall. Kagami tried to push herself up to attack the men, but she was pushed back down. It didn't take long for the men to leave after that. Kagami sat there, crying at Konatas' lifeless body. She couldn't – more to the point, wouldn't – move away, even when the police tried to move her. She just pushed them and, when they tried to move Konata, she grabbed a knife and lunged. She was taken to the police station, interrogated, and then told that the rest of her family had died. All except her sister. So, Kagami called Miyuki and asked if she could stay with them for the night, and that she would explain when she got there. Putting the phone down, Kagami stumbled to the front door, her legs not wanting to support her weight. It didn't take long for Miyuki and her mother to arrive at the police station. They quickly pushed her into the car, thanked the officers and drove away. Tsukasa was also in the car when Kagami just burst out crying. Streams of tears were flowing down her face, soaking the nice, woollen carpet that her feet were on. "Sis! What's wrong!" Tsukasa asked, putting her arm around Kagami. "Its Konata… She-" Kagami said before crying again. Waiting a few minutes before continuing, she took a deep breath. "Konata has gone to a nice place now." Kagami said, awfully calm. Tsukasa's eyes opened wide, knowing exactly what her older sister meant. "How did it happen?" Miyuki asked, her head slumped down low. "4 men ran in with guns. Shot her on sight" Kagami replied, her eyes feeling heavy from all the crying.
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
Kagami had never gotten over Konatas' death. Sometimes she had tried suicide. She always had a fully loaded TMP by her bedside – it held 30 rounds, and another magazine was in the drawer – and she also had a H&K VP70 in the drawer as well. Tsukasa currently had a Glock 17, but she only ever kept 1 bullet in, as it was supposed to be for emergency measures. They had both attended Konatas funeral, but had held a private one for her family. Kagami was now doing her usual routine; cry from midnight to 8, talk to Tsukasa from 9 until 4, eat some dinner, and then cry until midnight. This had repeated for about 2 months. Kagami was about to burst into tears at the thought of Konata when she heard the doorbell ring. Grabbing the TMP and tucking it into her waistband, she told Tsukasa to wait in her room. Looking through the peep-hole, Kagami was slightly surprised to see only 1 person. Opening the door, Kagami looked at the man. He was tall – at least 6 foot – and he was wearing official United States Military garbs, along with the BDU and all. "Kagami, I presume?" The man asked. Looking around past the man, Kagami replied "yeah, what's it to you?"
"I have some information you might find useful" The man said. "Step inside" Kagami replied, stepping aside. "But I can assure you, miss. Kagami, that TMP you have their won't be needed. Nor will your sisters Glock" The man said, smiling slightly. Putting the weapon down, Kagami showed the man the living room. "What is it you wanted to tell me?" Kagami asked, sighing slightly. "I have a way to bring Konata back" The man said. Grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt, Kagami growled. "Tell me" She demanded, throwing him back into the sofa. "Let me finish. I have a way to bring her back, but there may be side effects. Some of which may cause you to loose body parts, organs etcetera. And if you don't lose any, you will join the British SAS. Agreed?" The man asked. "But I thought you were American?" Kagami asked. "I am, but the SAS sent me here on business. Now what do you say?"
"You honestly expect me to turn down that offer?"
"Then let's get to work." The man said.
