"À tout le monde
À tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free"
À Tout Le Monde - Megadeth
A Luxury Hotel in Kyoto – Some hours before the concert
Oh my... Konata... Where did she go? I'm worried...
Kagami exited her bedroom and started to search for Konata, who disappeared just after she had the wrong idea about Kagami and Savage.
Savage is really a kind and handsome guy, but I don't have anything with him... Why Konata? Why did you get the wrong idea...
Kagami was walking all around the hotel searching for her wife, she was crying inside, crying like a little girl, crying because of her lost love. She then found Keeper's room, where you could hear some guitar being played.
She knocked on the door and then the guitarist stopped playing, then when the door opened she found Savage there, standing with a guitar, and Keeper by his side with his famous Signature Dean. Both had more or less the same height, but Savage was blond and at least two times stronger than Keeper.
"Oh. Hi Kagami. How are you doing? Are you two already recovered from the trauma?"
"Ingo... Konata disappeared! I'm so desperate now *crying*... Help me, please..."
"I think I saw her last time on the terrace..."
"Thanks Kee..."
"Please call me Rhandy."
"Thanks Rhandy and Ingo, you helped me a lot... But, not asking too much can I ask you two a favor?"
...
After the talk, Kagami hugged the two men and rushed forward to the terrace, the elevator was full, so she had to go using stairs, which took some time. When she arrived there Konata was standing still, looking down to the street.
"Kagamin~... You are here to finally show me that you don't love me anymore?"
"No Konata. I'm here to show how stupid you were all that time, let's talk..."
Kagami dropped a tear while looking at the disappointed Konata face, she came closer to the Otaku and looking down to the street too she felt a strange sensation, like if their eyes encountered each other all there down.
Konata then sat down, and Kagami did the same, both were quiet for a short period of time until the purple haired girl looked to the girl by her side. She saw that Konata was in a deep sorrow, just like before she went to her house last night.
"Konata... I think you misunderstood many points today..."
"Like what? After we exited the cheaper hotel all you did was to be close to the drummer, like if he was special."
"Konata, I don't mind if we're here or if we were in the other hotel, I just found myself in a situation of not being able to refuse the offer."
"If he asked you: give up on that little girl there and be with a real man like me. Would you have done the same?"
"No..."
"Liar! I know you aren't lesbian, but bi, so you like boys as well, I know that many times when you kiss me you feel guilty inside yourself, but still you do it... Kagami... I don't see why you're still here with me, you can start dating a famous rockstar now, he will grant you many more wishes than this weak body can do..."
"Stop Konata! Don't you remember last night? When I told you that the only dream I had was to be by your side forever? Even if King saved my life, Savage was a very kind person, Keeper and Madman tried to cheer me... I know them for less than two hours, but you Konata, I know you for already years."
Konata looked to Kagami who was already in tears, this time she didn't feel good enough to go there and hug her love, kiss the girl and keep saying that they loved each other. She stayed there, just looking to the tsundere, crying.
"Konata..."
"What?"
"Let's go back to the other hotel, at least there we found peace... I know a man was shot there, but there we can be ourselves, we can just say to the guys that we're going back there, what do you think?"
Kagami, you're asking to go to the other hotel, much cheaper, with much less food, which isn't as good as this one, just to be with me?
Konata stared blank to the sky and then looked to the tsundere who was with already holding her hand with her left hand and stroking her long blue hair with the other. The blue haired girl looked to the purple haired one and hugged her, agreeing with the idea.
But nothing is a rose bed.

Terrace – A Luxury Hotel in Kyoto – Some hours before the concert
Noise, lots of noise. Footsteps. More footsteps. Terrace door opens violently.
"You two! Guess who's back?"
Mr. Madman was very tired of running all the way up because the elevator was not working, the guys from TV were all in the hotel, talking with Keeper and Savage, while Madman went up find the girls to give them the good news.
"You seriously mean it? Is he really well?!"
"Well, I can't say COMPLETELY well, he's on a wheelchair because of the accident, so we're not sure if he'll be able to play the concert tonight..."
Kagami felt guilty for it, probably because of her stupid life the great guitarist King would not be able to play that night. Only if I died there, nothing of that would happen... We would not cause all the trouble for the band and King would be well.
"I guess I have to apologize... Where is he?"
"Kagamin~... I have to apologize you, if it was not my stupid idea to come to this concert nothing of that would happen, and we would be happy, in Saitama, alone..."
Madman was only looking at the two girls, he was an idiot, but he surely had a good heart, someone like him would be easily accepted as a husband, the thing is that without free time due to concerts, tours, CDs releases and recording sessions, he never found someone to love.
"Are you going meet King?"
"I guess so, please, take me down there with you. Konata, wait me here, I'll be back soon. And then we go back to our peaceful cheap hotel"
Kagami smiled at Konata, who was shocked with all that happenings, she then understood that everything would be good again after Kagami talked to King. She would apologize him and then there was no more need to be with the band, without their last bond.

Main Hall - A Luxury Hotel in Kyoto - Some hours before concert
Things are bustling here...
Kagami was beside Mr. Madman, when almost entering in the main hall he asked her to leave he enter alone and find King, the media would be after him, the only member not there.
She stood on the entrance and then when looking further, trying to find someone in the huge crowd, she found Savage, talking to the band fans. Some moments later her eyes found Keeper, who was sat down there, talking with a guy from the local TV. Then she found Madman autographing some T-Shirts and CDs. She found everyone, everyone but King.
Where is he... I have to find him...
Mr. Madman after autographing one more CD went out the main hall and foud Kagami still stood there.
"I found King, he's surrounded by many, I mean MANY, people from media. I will help you getting closer to him."
She just nodded and walked by Madman side, who was disguised again, but the disguise didn't work this time, so people found him and then he said to Kagami run straight, she would find King nearby.
The purple haired girl ran, as the bassist said, then she found King, smiling, with his Helloween 7 Sinners T-Shirt, one legged cut down jeans, because of the biddings, with his Gibson Les Paul on his lap. He was talking very happily, speaking about the tour and the new album, until he suddenly stopped. He looked to his side and found Kagami.
The great guitarist came closer to Kagami and then announced bravely:
"This, my friends, is the girl who I saved earlier!"
Everyone cheered, and while people was shouting and clapping, King whispered to the tsundere:
"I'm glad you're well. A pretty and young girl like you couldn't die with a shot. Where's your friend? She have to be here to party with us!"
Kagami was red, red as a tomato. She only looked to King's eyes, the eyes of someone brave enough to risk his fame and his life to save someone he never saw in his life. I still can't understand... Why did he do this to me?
"King..."
"Huh?" He was waving to people nearby, while the photographers from the news kept tooking photos of King and Kagami.
"I still can't understand... Why? Why to me?"
"The thing is... It could be anyone, it could be my worse enemy, my best friend, someone I don't know, but you have to try keeping your best and helping everyone as you can. Everyone in the band is like that, we all work together to help everyone we can, and when I saw you in danger I couldn't let myself but help you."
"King... You're so brave... But I have to go now... Bye..."
Tears were already dropping from Kagami's light violet eyes, she ran from King, and instead of going meet Konata at the roof she went to her bedroom. At the bedroom she fell on the bed and cried, just like a little baby would do.
What to do now?! Torn in two... King... Konata... I love both! Konata was my little girl, the one I always dared... King almost lost his life to save me! A person with an amazing personality... I can't just stand it! Loving two people! How can I be that bitchy?! And one is a woman! I have to choose one.. Only one... All I ever wanted was Konata by my side forever, but King... He's so kind... So handsome... A great guitarist... Now what to do?!
She fought against herself at most, the feeling she had for King and Konata was love, but she was not able to leave Konata alone, as same King, who took her heart with his kindness. What to do now?
The girl got up the bed and walked a little on the bedroom, she then found the window closed. I may end this for all now. No more Konata... No more King... It'll be only me... A corpse down the street.
She then opened the window, when looking down to the street a strong feeling took over her body and she prepared herself to end her life, jumping from a very tall building in Kyoto.
