We're getting to the end of this story soon. Now is where the tragedy comes into play. What will happen is up in the air as some of you suspect several theories…but I will say this. If you are not moved by what happens in the end, you have no soul.

Some of you might be curious as to what I plan to do after this story is complete. Well, I want to help out the Koihime Musou section a bit so I'll make a short story for that one and then come back here to continue another romance. Don't worry I won't be gone for long.

Now that I am done speaking useless words to increase my word status, please read on.

(Hiiragi Household, morning)

She kissed her.

Izumi Konata kissed her right on the lips.

Kagami couldn't even think straight for a long time after what happened. She went home, ignored her older sister's hello and just went to her room to sit down and repeat the event in her mind over and over again. She didn't go down for dinner, saying she had no appetite, and didn't even sleep the entire night. When morning came, Kagami finally realized that she shared a kiss with not only a girl, but with one of her closest friends who might have had a crush on her since they first met.

The thought of it was mind-blowing, but the feeling behind it was just crazy. She knew that Konata always acted all flirty and perverted around her…but she thought it was just to annoy her. Yet, looking back now it was obvious that the blue hair otaku had some sort of strange desire to do these things only to her. She never did it with Miyuki or Tsukasa and she did often joke about how she and Konata were like a wife and husband duo.

Was it all a cover to hide her true feelings?

If so, how long had Konata felt this way?

She remembered every touch and feeling she had when her lips connected with Konata's…how the world seemed to be non-existed except for the two of them. The smell of the soft strawberry shampoo that Konata's hair gave out filled her nostrils as they held on to each other. She remembered her heart beating faster than running in gym class as each second felt like an hour.

Kagami rubbed her temples and tried to think why Konata, who she always thought of as a close friend, didn't even tell her this. Was she afraid of her reaction? Contrary to their religious background, Kagami and her family weren't homophobic. She never once felt any hatred or disgust against homosexuals, even if it did freak her out a bit.

But to have one of her own friends come out and kiss her like that out in the open….she didn't know what to think.

Well, there was one thing she couldn't get out of her head…the fact that she kind of liked it.

Not only was it her first kiss…and it felt unique. More unique then just because it came from the lips of a girl…unique as in it felt really good.

Wait! Slow down! You don't know if you're even a lesbian or even like her that way! She though as she tried to slow down her thoughts.

There were too many questions that needed answers…and Kagami knew that she and Konata had to have a good talk.

Resolving to speak to her tomorrow, Kagami then lay her head on her pillow and tried to get some sleep when her door slammed open and a worried looking Tsukasa came in.

"ONEE-CHAN! IT'S YUTAKA-CHAN!"


(3 Hours later)

The twins rushed as fast as they could through the halls of the hospital with the fear of what had happened energizing them to sprint as fast as possible. Kagami was running the hardest, not just because she was a better athlete than Tsukasa, but also because she was equally worried about another person.

When they arrived near Yutaka's room, they saw everyone already there alongside Yutaka's parents who were holding each other in tears.

Everyone turned to see the twins enter the area as, for once second, Konata and Kagami's eyes met and widen, but they quickly looked away before Kagami asked what happened.

"We don't know…Minami was inside with Yutaka…and then she started…" Said Hiyori who looked so scared, "They're saying she…looked just like she did back in school…"

The two sisters knew what that meant…Yutaka's heart attack.

Tsukasa looked at Minami who had a look of horror and pain in her eyes….her mouth was side open in shock and her eyes just stared at the door almost as if she was trying to see through it.

"Minami-chan…what happened?" She asked.

Everyone turned to Minami who didn't say anything.

Why?


(Hours ago)

She had to do this….

No, she couldn't….not when she was feeling like this….

Who knows what might happen if she told Yutaka the truth. What if everything went wrong…but what if it went right?

Minami, still standing outside the door, just shook her head and was about to leave when a voice cried out to her. Turning around she saw Dr. Mori walking over with a small greeting before looking at Minami and then at the door.

"Aren't you going in? You never seemed to hesitate before." He said, a bit confused.

Minami tried to make up a lie, but she couldn't think of a quick one, "I…was…"

"Is something wrong?" He asked with a concerned voice, "You can always tell me what it is."

Thinking about it, she realized that Dr. Mori was a person she could trust with some info of her secret…he was always nice to her and she liked to think that there was some form of friendship between her and the good doctor.

"I…I need to tell Yutaka something…but I'm afraid of what I'll say will do more harm than good…and I don't want to ruin our friendship or cause more stress for her..." She said.

Dr. Mori nodded and said, "I see….well if you want my advice? Tell her anyway."

"But…."

"Listen…she doesn't have much time left. And I've seen the way you two interact; you are closer than most friends your age that I've even known. She won't hate you, she'll still be your friend…and I think it's best if you tell her now before it's too late." He replied.

Minami felt a bit depressed though about what he said about Yutaka not having much time left.

"Do you think Yutaka will die?" She asked, her voice cracking from the amount of force she had to say with that voice.

Sighing, Dr. Mori replied, "I want her to live….and she still has a chance even with the low odds…but either way…if somebody I cared for was dying….I would say everything I've wanted to say to that person then live in regret."

Minami took in what Dr. Mori said slowly nodded her head, I should tell her everything…

"Thank you, I'll go see her now." Said Minami before bowing.

"It's okay, just don't look so depressed you cuter smiling." He replied before he took off with a wave.

Turning towards the door she slowly sighed before opening it and saw Yutaka talking to her parents, who smiled when they saw her.

"Minami-chan…so good to see you." Said Yutaka's mother as she nodded to her daughter's closest friend.

"Hello. Yutaka…how are you?" She asked trying to set the mood.

She gave a small smile, which made Minami's heart flutter, and said she was fine and that her parents were talking about heading out on a trip when she got better.

If she gets better…A small voice in Minami's head spoke, but she ignored it and continued with some small talk until she finally asked, "Umm…can I speak to Yutaka alone please? It's private."

Her parents looked at each other before nodding as they left, giving the girls their privacy.

"What is it that you didn't want them to hear, Minami-chan?" Asked Yutaka, tilting her head.

Minami felt her body shake and mouth slowly dry up, she couldn't believe she was about to do this….

"Yutaka-chan…we're best friends right?" She asked, nervously.

Yutaka, looking a bit concerned, said, "Of course. Why?"

Turning her back to Yutaka, she spoke, "I…I have something to say...but please….please don't hate me for what I have to say to you…"

Now she was worried, Yutaka leaned forward from her bed and softly asked, "Minami-chan…what's the matter."

"It's my heart is what's the matter." Minami said as she turned around and let eyes water a bit as she walked towards the girl she slowly grew to love. Sitting down she placed their hands together and said, "What's the matter is how much you matter to me."

"I don't understand." Spoke Yutaka as he face showed confusion.

"Yutaka-chan…did you know that I've never had a friend other then you, Cherry, and Miyuki? Did you know that I was alone for hours every day while my parents worked? Did you know that I thought that I was forever doomed to be alone?"

Yutaka just stood there and listened, she knew Minami was a lonely person before they met but she didn't know that she was out right abandoned.

"That day….when we met at the entrance exams…that was the greatest day of my life." Said Minami whispering, "Because I met somebody kind and friendly. Who wanted to be my friend and do things together….that was you."

"And then I met others…Patty-chan, Hiyori-chan, Konata-sempai and her friends…you made me so happy that I swore to do anything for you because….I…."

Minami stuttered a bit before she took a deep breath and looked into Yutaka's eyes…

"…because I love you!"

Yutaka's eyes widen as Minami spoke those words.

"I love you….more than a friend…more than a sister…I've fallen for you Yutaka-chan…and now you're dying…how can I live without saying that to you just once?" She asked as she wiped away tears dripping down her face, "If…if you don't feel the same way…I understand….I just wanted you to know…because you deserve to know…"

Minami then looked down at her own hands, waiting for a response from Yutaka…

Neither of them said anything for sometime…..

"….Minami-chan…"

She looked up, only to freeze when Yutaka's lips pressed firmly into hers.

The kiss was quick, but that one kiss made Minami's soul melt in satisfaction.

As she broke off the kiss, a blushing Yutaka softly said, "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

Minami just stared at her as Yutaka closed her eyes and sighed, "You have no idea…how grateful that you said that."

"You…you mean you…are…" Stuttered Minami who was still stupefied.

Yutaka nodded with a bright smile, "I've always felt the same way for you….at first I was ashamed and afraid. When I told my parents they weren't angry and they helped me figure out my real feelings…I didn't know if you felt the same way so I decided to just hold those feelings until I was sure…but now…it's such a relief to know that you love me too."

"Oh…Yutaka-chan…" Said Minami with a smile that spread from cheek to cheek.

"Minami-chan…I UGH!" She cried out suddenly as she held on to her chest in pain.

"Yutaka!" Shouted Minami as she watched her continue to yell in pain and shake.

"It's hurts…IT HURTS! AAGUH!" She cried out as she felt to her back and struggle.

"YUTAKA! HOLD ON! HELP! HELP!" Screamed Minami at the top of her lungs. Immediately rushed her Yutaka's parents who heard her screams and ran to their daughter.

"Yutaka! Hold on!" Cried her mother as he tried to keep her daughter still.

"I'll get help!" Shouted her father as he rushed out like he was possessed.

The two females held on to Yutaka as she continued to shake and scream in pain, tears coming out of her eyes as her heart began to feel like it was on fire.

A minute later, Dr. Mori and some other nurses came in with Mr. Kobayakawa and ordered everyone out so they could help. With some force the three of them were pushed out as the door closed and they were left to worry alone.

(End of Flashback)


"Minami-chan? Hey!" Said Kagami waking her up.

She slowly looked at everyone and saw they were staring at her. She slowly felt cold water dripping down her cheeks.

She had been crying again….

Suddenly they heard something from inside the dreaded room that made everyone freeze in fear.

"CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE! GET A DEFIBRILLATOR HERE NOW!"
