"Everybody trying to tell me
That you didn't mean me no good
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you
Let me tell you I really did the best I could
I've been working from seven to eleven every night
I said it kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag, Lord, that ain't right"

Kagami's House – Afternoon (After the travel)
The house was quiet, as it always was after Kagami exited to go to the concert. As soon as the purple haired girl arrived her sisters ran to the door to greet her. When the two elder sisters arrived they looked at the tired Kagami, wearing a white dress, carrying a guitar and her backpack, by her side the small Konata, wearing a Megadeth T-Shirt and some jeans, also carrying a guitar and a backpack.
"Hey! I'm back!"
Kagami tried to sound as normal as possible, she already knew that at least Tsukasa knew about her relationship with Konata, and that was not too good, because if Tsukasa knows, what to speak about the other two? However they seem pretty common for me, I guess Tsukasa was awake late night and she, for no particular reason watched the concert.
"Welcome back Kagami! How was the concert?"
"It was pretty cool..."
The tsundere was blushing, while they all stood there in the front door, Konata was quiet, she didn't know what to speak, until Inori invited they all to get inside and eat something. The couple put the guitars close to the door, while the backpacks were put by the side of the guitars.
Matsuri said that she would make her "special dish", meanwhile Konata and Kagami sat by each other side, they were really quiet, no one said a word about nothing after they entered the house. Konata is sleepy, so that made sense, but why is Kagami all that quiet? I think she knows that we know about the two... Hope Matsuri don't make her "special dish" bad this time...
"So... Kagami... You went out so early for that concert! Tell me a little more about it!"
"Er... That was a Metal concert, so I don't know if you'd like it..."
"Onee-chan! I want to know about that concert!"
Tsukasa... She knows about it... But Inori and Matsuri does as well?
"So, Konata, why don't you tell them what happened there?"
"Kagamin~?"
Konata then came close to her wife and whispered:
"Do you want to me tell everything?"
"Yes, dear..."
Kagami then looked to her sisters and then kissed Konata, which surprised Tsukasa a little, Inori otherwise was completely normal. She's not as bad as me at least *giggle*.
"So... Everything started when I came here to pick Kagamin~ clothes... I got her a X-Japan T-shirt then, because Tsukasa surely don't know what to choose for a metal concert *laughs*... So we traveled to Kyoto, where that band was going to play. When we were eating we met up with the members of Children of Hell, but we didn't know they were they. After that we started a search for a cheaper hotel, we found one not too far, we wanted to go shopping, but when we got downstairs... The four guys were there again, so a robber appeared and BAM!"
Tsukasa jumped from her chair, she was surprised by Konata's sound. The blue haired girl was making a "gun" gesture, Kagami was laughing by the excited otaku side, Inori left a giggle or two escape as well.
"The robber shot by his side, he didn't knew he would almost kill Kagami, but that brave guitarist, King, ran there and stopped the shot with his leg! I can't imagine the pain he suffered... After that things got really bad for our side... Savage hit the robber really hard, after that we were invited by them to go to the luxury hotel where they were staying. After some time, I and Kagami had a discussion, and I ran away from her... After some minutes Kagami went up to the terrace and we talked a little, we decided to go back to the old hotel, however Madman walked all up to let us know the great new! King was back! After Kagami went down I stayed there, waiting for her as she said. Although I decided to walk back to the bedroom we were staying and pack up things. Just after I was there, Kagami was almost jumping from the window, I thought 'No Kagami! Don't do it!', so I ran and tried to pick her up before she fell, I was able to hold her foot, but I fell as well, if it wasn't the drummer, who luckily was walking close there, we both would die. After that we went back to our cheap hotel..."
Why would Kagami attempt suicide? It worries me a bit... But they seem to be happy now... But I'm still wondering from where that guitars came!
Matsuri has finished preparing her special dish, this time it was looking good and tasty, Konata stopped speaking for a little to eat. They all shared a great time together there, Konata and Kagami shared good laughs, sometimes one was caressing the other hair without even noticing, and in the end they kissed again. It's now official... My family knows about it. I'm so happy that I'm no longer torn... It's only missing mom and dad, and those two are the ones who I most worry!
"Hey Konata!"
"What?"
"Tell me one thing... Where did the guitars came from the story?"
"Matsuri onee-san... I will tell you this! After the concert the band visited our bedroom in the cheap hotel, everyone gifted us for the marriage... Whoops... Do you know about it?"
"Yea, we saw in the TV today... Tsukasa even sent you a message didn't she?"
"Yes! So... They gifted us for the marriage, King and Keeper gave us one of their most famous guitars, which even not being used by them too much nowadays was of great value once... Savage give us drum sticks with lots of sentimental value, Madman gave us money, the guitarists pick and the marriage ring."
"So those are King and Keeper guitars?"
"Yes..."
"I doubt it!"
"Wanna see?"
The tension was starting to be big between the two sisters, it was always like that, Kagami and Matsuri often fought a little. The purple haired girl picked her guitar case and, after they cleaned the table, she opened the case, revealing an amazing white guitar, often called the Left-Side Wing or Gemini Guitar. Matsuri didn't believe when she saw that, it's a replica! No way they got THAT guitar! Even people not too much inside metal and rock scenario knows about THAT!
"Believe now?"
"It's a replica!"
Kagami then showed the back of the guitar, with the picture of all the guitarists together, King's message to Keeper and then Keeper's message to one of the two, which he didn't know of who was going to be, but it was worth only for the two girls. There was no way that someone would replicate that, all that signatures and the message. Konata looked at the clock and then remembered one thing.
"It's getting late, I'm going home."
"See you tomorrow dear."
Kagami kissed Konata and then the short girl picked her stuff and went home. Leaving Kagami with her sisters.
"I'm going up, I need to sleep a little..."
"Already?"
"Yea... I didn't sleep too much last days..."
The tsundere went up with her guitar case, put a pajama and then slept, she was exhausted, the time she had in Kyoto was great, but she wasn't able to sleep. Matsuri and Inori went back to the older sister bedroom, where they made out another time, "just for fun". Tsukasa stayed downstairs watching TV. Everything was "back to normal"... Except by a "new two sided coin", one girl between the Hiiragi who was not more able to accept only one way of life, being inside a living nightmare sometimes, but in the paradise other times. That girl would soon meet someone who was going to change her life. That girl changed her life after Kagami's courageous act. That girl is no one other than Inori. The elder Miko. And the "new two sided coin".

Plane to Seoul – Afternoon (Same time as above scene)
The four guys were traveling again, this time it was no more to Kyoto, neither to Japan, but it was a city in South Korea, there was no Konata and no Kagami there. Keeper was reading a book, Savage was eating, Madman was playing some games on his Nintendo DS, King was with his headphones, listening to Burning Sun, by Helloween, while typing a story on his laptop. They were doing their common hobbies after all.
Goddamn it... I can't think... My story is being too romantic... I guess that girl really affected me. Maybe we can go back to Japan soon...
"Hey Madman!"
"What King?"
"When is our next concert?"
"Tomorrow, why?"
"No... No! I mean, our concert after the one in Seoul!"
"Ah... Why didn't you explain earlier?"
"Because I thought your dumbness wasn't that big!"
"Okay then... Let me check..."
Mr. Madman picked a suitcase and out of there he picked a paper with all the concerts they would do in the next months of tour. He started to look in the last page, which was the Asian part of the tour. Keeper was now listening to Metallica and Savage was sleeping.
"So... We took a three day rest before Kyoto concert, now we have the Seoul concert tomorrow, Hong Kong two days after Seoul and then we have a long time with no work, as we already have all that touring for now. Then in one month we are back to work. Why?"
"Nothing... I just wanted to know how many concerts will we play until we stop for now..."
"Only two more huh?"
"Yea, it has been already over 70 concerts in some months... I'm exhausted already."
"Me too, but we must endure those last two... How's your leg going?"
"It still hurts a bit... It saddens me that I will not be able to move it for some weeks..."
"I'm sorry for you..."
"Hey Mad... Will you let your hair grow again?"
"Who told you that?"
"I saw that you didn't cut your hair recently, now it's starting to appear again."
"Yea... I want to be back to my old style..."
"*laughs* Good luck..."
"It's been already many years isn't it?"
"Yea, we're recent, but 'recent' to the great metal classics... I still remember that day in September 90, which we reunited and decided to make a band... We were very young and didn't know if it was going to turn out good or not. But it seems we were lucky enough."
"Yea... I remember the first nicknames... You were Master, Keeper was The One, I was Paranoid and Savage was Eagle..."
"In 1998 we changed names again... And also our mascot appeared. Lord. It's from one of my stories as well... The second names were a little better... I was Perfect Gentleman, Keeper was called Keeper, which stood until now, you were Mr. Ego and Savage was still Eagle."
"Then we changed for the last time in 2011... King, Keeper, Mr. Madman and Savage..."
"Why did we do that *laughs*? Wasn't easier to people call us by our names?"
"Maybe... But as you said we were young, and people liked it, so we decided to keep on with that."
"I wonder if we'll ever meet someone special in our life..."
"We already met... But we had to broke the relationship because of our crazy band ideas. I remember you were in highschool, Keeper was in a relationship in highschool too. I dated during University, and Savage almost married his girlfriend... Except by... You know what happened..."
"That was a horrible day... I don't even want to remember that happening..."
The two members looked down and then King finally asked what was stuck inside his head for much time.
"I want to schedule a concert in Saitama."
"What?!"
"I want to see the two again... I don't know why, but I want!"
"We gave them our emails, no worries."
"But they didn't give their to us, you know that I created the filter to delete all emails not from a list."
"Fuck! Okay then... We are going to Saitama after Hong Kong concert! I will contact the city prefecture as soon as we land."
Mr. Madman was not only a bassist at all, he was the one who cared for everything about tour, even being silly and idiot he knew how to handle things well, and he was risking that Saitama concert King wanted, because he believed that a concert more there wouldn't kill anyone. The bassist then put headphones and his jeans jacket, listening to Mystic Prophecy, while King put back his and slept.

Kagami's House – Morning (Before school)
The purple haired girl woke up this day as shealways do in normal days, she got up from the bed, looked at a corner of the bedroom and saw the guitar case standing there. I almost forgot it... It was all so marvelous and good that looked like a dream... But it was reality. The tsundere then took off the pajamas and wore her school uniform, soon we will have entrance exams... This is making me nervous... What if I don't pass?
Downstairs Tsukasa was already eating her breakfast, Inori was washing the day before dishes and Matsuri was doing her best in slacking off. Kagami walked to the kitchen picked up a bread and then started to eat a loaf of bread with butter, nothing was disturbing no one there, Tsukasa was too innocent to think any bad thing about her sister, the elder twin was happy after all, Matsuri and Inori already did that by themselves, so they weren't able to speak much things, the only worry was Tadao and Miki, who were traveling and that day they would be back.
"Good morning."
"Onee-chan! Good morning!"
"You woke up early today, you know?"
"Yea, I... Well... Fell of the bed..."
Kagami laughed, my sister is really carefree... Such funny things happen to her. Tsukasa finished eating before and then waited for Kagami to finish her loaf. When she was done, the twins exited the house and went to school, leaving Inori and Matsuri alone there.
The elder sister, finished cleaning the dishes and then she went to the living room, where her sister was sleeping on the couch, not worrying about anything, just like always.
"Matsuri... Matsuri! Wake up!"
"*yawn* Inori? Good morning... What time is it?"
"You woke up and went to sleep on the couch... Tsukasa and Kagami just left to go to school."
"Already? I guess I have to prepare myself to go to University too..."
"Me too... Just hope I don't get too late there!"
The two elder sisters forgot about University, they were too busy taking care of the younger ones. Matsuri picked her bag and ran to the front door, Inori did the same, they then locked everything and exited, when they were separating their ways, one looked deeply at the other eye and almost kissed, but instead they only hugged like two good sisters.
That Matsuri is making me go crazy... My feelings are not the same anymore... Kagami... Thanks... And also... I hate you for this...
No one in Earth knew how the elder sister was feeling, it was a mix of angst, rage, happiness, romance, sadness, she was inside a tornado of emotions. I wonder if Matsuri is feeling the same.
Will there be anyone who will make me feel what I feel for Inori?
~~L~~L~~L~~L~~
School – Noon (Lunch Time)
"Ka-Ga-Mi!"
"Misao?"
"You promised that you'd lunch with us today! YAY!"
Damn. I forgot it. Konata will miss me...
"I have to go to the bathroom now! Soon I will be back!"
"Okies! Take your time!"
Misao was smiling and almost jumping in happiness because they were going to lunch together. I guess she didn't watch the concert... Thanks God... Because if she did things would be very different today. Did she forgot about what happened some days ago?
Kagami walked to Tsukasa's room to talk with the girls there to tell them she wasn't going to lunch with them this day, all she found was all the girls lunching, but Konata, who was patiently waiting for her "wife" to the two lunch together.
"Kagamin! Here seat here, I was waiting for you! Wait... Where's your bento?"
"Well, er.. Sorry Konata, but I can't today, remember that I promised to Misao and Ayano I'd lunch with them today? I just came here to tell you that, sorry dear..."
Kagami kissed the otaku's forehead and then walked back to her classroom, leaving the small girl alone there, lunching with the her other two friends. Miyuki is really hot and Tsukasa is so moe... But neither can change Kagamin~ even together... I guess is Miyuki is curious about what happened here... She didn't know about our relationship. Unless she watched the concert... The headbangers already cheered us... Maybe that made some think about it *laughs*.
The tsundere was walking back to her classroom thinking about Konata and Misao, I really don't love Misao, but I... I... Can't let her suffer like this... We will have to talk a little... She entered the room and found Misao with her meatballs ready to be swallowed, Ayano was sat just by the front of the brown haired girl, the chair by Misao side was reserved to be used by the stunning twin tailed girl Kagami.
"Hey Kagami! Sit here by my side!"
"I'm going Misao..."
Just hope it doesn't break her heart...
