Chapter 25: Concert Night

-Cafe(Mall)-

Keima froze upon hearing Lime's question.

"Lime!" reacted Yuri.

Lime looked at Yuri and said "What? I bet you wanna know too, being her inspiration is one thing, but being hers is another thing."

Yuri was silenced meaning she did admit she was also curious about it.

Lime suddenly looked at Keima, making Keima jolt. "So what is it? Are you two dating or not?" Lime asked again but more seriously.

Keima shifted from looking at Yuri's curious look and Lime's glare, then suddenly Keima felt a tugging on his sleeve. Keima slowly looked at the tugging and food himself looking at Kanon. Kanon was gripping Keima's sleeve tightly as she looked down with a visible blush on her face.

"Kanon?.." Keima thought as he looked at Kanon. Keima then looked at Lime with a serious face. " I-I'm sorry, but we aren't. " said Keima.

Kanon's grip on Keima's sleeve suddenly loosen and began to slip and Yuri sighed from disappointment.

" I thought so." said Lime.

Suddenly Keima grabbed Kanon's slipping hand and held it at face level. Kanon stared in confusion as Keima began to speak. " We aren't dating..., but our love for each other is greater than any other love.", said Keima then he looked at Kanon who was now blushing madly and pulled her close as he stared into her eyes, " Obstacles in our path are nothing as long as we have each other. I may not be worthy of her now, but I will strive to reach where she is now.".

"Keima.." Said Kanon as she continued blushing and staring at Keima.

Keima then caressed Kanon's cheek and said "So until I do, please wait for me...Kanon.." .

Kanon slowly nodded , sinking deeper in the moment as she closed her eyes and waited for a kiss.

Keima gently held her chin and slowly leaned closer to Kanon's face.

Suddenly Lime held her hand between Keima and Kanon's face and kept waving it making Kanon and Keima to step away from each other a little.

"Ok! Ok! I get it now! Could you stop that now?!" said Lime as she continued to separate the two.

"Lime! It was getting to the good part!" ranted Yuri.

Lime and Yuri suddenly had a senseless argument. Keima stared at them with a completely bored look while Kanon continued to fidget with the same blush on her face.

After a while, Lime then sat on her sit again. She sighed and said "Honestly, if you guys have a forbidden relationship then just say so already.".

"Fo-Forbidden?!..Re-Relationship?!..." said Kanon who was blushing red.

Suddenly Yuri leaned over the table to Kanon and asked "Do you guys meet in secret?!...Have you ever gone to his house?!...".

"Yuri, that's...uhmm..." said Kanon as she tried to tell Yuri to back off while smiling nervously.

But Yuri continued asking, " Have you ever kissed each other?!...".

Suddenly Kanon froze with the same blush on her face then she slowly glanced at Keima.

"So you did?! How many times already?!.." Yuri curiously asked.

Lime suddenly smacked Yuri in the head.

"What was that for?!" asked Yuri as she looked at Lime while holding her head.

"Don't go preying on someone's relationship." said Lime.

Yuri fidgeted her fingers while puffing out her cheeks and said "But I'm curious...".

Kanon just laughed nervously while Keima just listened.

-Outside the Mall-

After some more crazy moments in the cafe, they finally left.

"Bye you two! See you later!" said Yuri.

"Do your best later, we'll be watching." said Lime.

Kanon cheerfully nodded while smiling then said "I'll be waiting for you guys!".

And with that the Citron trio once again walked separate ways.

Keima then spoke "Should we be going as well?".

Kanon looked at Keima with a shocked expression.

" I mean, is it ok if I accompanied you back to the concert venue?" said Keima.

Kanon's smile suddenly grew bigger as she suddenly wrapped her arms around Keima's arm and nodded happily.

-Outside the Concert Venue-

After taking bus rides and walking a bit, Keima and Kanon finally reached the concert venue. Kanon and Keima slowly walked towards the back entrance. Kanon was happily humming while walking while Keima continued his gaming. No exchange of conversation of was made as they walked but Kanon was still happy. Suddenly Kanon stopped walking.

"Thanks Keima..." said Kanon.

Keima then looked at her and said "For what?".

"For... what you did earlier.." said Kanon.

"You know you shouldn't take it seriously." clarified Keima.

"I know...but hearing you say those words for me..It just makes happy..." said Kanon with a smile.

Keima then remembered what happened in the cafe and averted his eyes from Kanon.

"Keima." suddenly said Kanon.

Keima then slowly looked at her.

"Will I get a reward if I do good later?.." Kanon asked happily.

Keima sighed and patted Kanon's head. "If you wanted me to pat you, just say so." said Keima while patting Kanon's head.

Keima suddenly jolted when he saw Kanon puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him.

"Wh-What is it?" Keima asked nervously.

"This is nice...but I wanted a different reward...maybe a continuation of what happened earlier..." said Kanon shyly as she began to blush.

Keima backed off a bit as a light blush appeared on his face. Kanon then stared at Keima with puppy dog eyes.

Keima then averted his eyes from Kanon and said "I-I'll think about it..".

Kanon pouted but eventually smiled in the end. Keima got back his composure.

" Then I'll see you later Keima.." said Kanon then she entered the back entrance.

"Yeah...later.." said Keima as he watched Kanon enter the back entrance.

-Concert Venue-

After hours of waiting the concert night arrived. People were already lined up to get inside. Keima was waiting while playing beside the line. Finally Haqua and Elsie arrived. Elsie quickly saw Keima.

"Nii-sama!" said Elsie as she ran to Keima while waving.

"You're late." said Keima.

Elsie laughed nervously.

Suddenly Haqua spoke " Hello Katsuragi.".

" So you brought Haqua." said Keima as he continued gaming.

"Would it kill you to greet me properly?!" suddenly yelled Haqua.

"We should get in line now." said Keima.

"Stop ignoring me!" Haqua continued to yell.

"Sure Nii-sama!" said Elsie.

"Elsie!" yelled Haqua.

Then the three finally fell in line. The line moved slowly.

" Elsie, have you brought your tickets?" asked Keima as he played his PFP.

" Yes! It's right he-!.." Elsie suddenly stopped speaking and began to search herself in panic.

Haqua then sighed and reached for her pocket to get two tickets and said "Elsie, you gave it to me.".

Elsie jolted then laughed nervously and said "right!...".

-Main Entrance, Ticket Booth-

The line slowly progressed and they finally reached the entrance. Keima collected their tickets and gave it to the person inside the ticket booth. The staff member looked at the tickets thoroughly and suddenly grabbed a microphone and called another staff member.

"Please escort this three to their seats." said the staff member inside the booth.

The other staff member nodded then faced Keima and the others and said "Please follow me.".

The three follow the staff member.

-Concert Arena-

The staff member led them to the front of the middle section , three seats before the stage.

"Hey Katsuragi! Where did you get this tickets?!" asked Haqua out of curiosity while they're sitting.

"Someone gave them to me." said Keima while playing.

"Whose concert are we even gonna wat-.." Haqua was cut off when suddenly everyone stood up except her and Keima.

"It's Kanon! " yelled Elsie in excitement.

" I should have known.." said Haqua as she covered her face with her hand.

Keima then slowly stood up, hid his PFP and faced Haqua. "Lets just try to have fun, Haqua." said Keima.

Haqua blushed a little and looked away. " I might as well do." said Haqua as she stood up.

-Stage-

"Everyone! Let's have some fun tonight!" said Kanon as she made a fist in the air.

The arena resonated with applause and cheers. Kanon began to dance as the first song began to play.(I'll leave it to you guys if what song you wanna play.)

Kanon's Thought as She Sang:

"This is great!..."

"I feel great!.."

"Everyone's watching me!"

-Concert Seats-

"She's...really amazing.." said Haqua as she continued to watch.

" I know right?! Right?! Kanon is amazing!" said Elsie.

Keima was focused on watching and didn't bother to join the conversation.

-Stage-

Kanon strike each pose throughout the song perfect.

Kanon's thought as She Sang:

" Everyone's cheering!.."

"I'm so happy!"

" I feel like I can do my best!...

"Cause now...right now...Keima's watching me!"

Kanon spun as she entered the final chorus, but she suddenly froze and dropped her mic while staring at the crowd. She then fell on her knees and held her head while looking down. The crowd suddenly gone crazy. Keima suddenly rushed to the stage with Elsie and Haqua following him.

"Kanon, what's wrong?" asked Keima as he kneel down to Kanon's level.

"S-She's there!..She's staring at me!..." Kanon repeated to herself as she held her head.

Keima then looked at the crowd and searched for someone suspicious. Finally Keima found a hooded person exiting the arena.

"Elsie. Haqua." said Keima as he pointed to the hooded person.

Elsie and Haqua looked at the direction Keima was pointing and quickly nodded afterwards.

"Take care of Kanon, Nii-sama!" said Elsie before she and Haqua pursued the hooded person.

Keima then looked back at Kanon and asked " Can you stand up Kanon?".

Kanon didn't answer but continued to repeat her words to herself.

"Tsk." said Keima then he struggled to carry Kanon and ran to the back stage.

The crowd got wilder as Keima carried Kanon out of the stage. Finally security went out.

-Back Stage-

30 minutes after the accident happened, Kanon was now resting in her dressing room after calming down. Keima just left the dressing room.

"Kanon...I guess she was really traumatized after what happened with Lune.." thought Keima as he stood in front of Kanon's dressing room.

Keima then got his PFP and played.

"Does that mean Lune was here.. and if she was, that only means that Satyr is finally making their move..." thought Keima as he gamed then he looked at the clock on his PFP , " Elsie and Haqua hasn't come back yet... I should go look for them..".

Suddenly someone approached Keima while saying " You must be Keima Katsuragi.".

Keima lifted his look from his PFP to look at the person.

"And who might you be?" asked Keima.

"How rude of me, I'm , Kanon's manager." said the person.

"Kanon's manager? Another troublesome person." thought Keima. "Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Okada." said Keima.

" I might say, I was a little worried when I found out that Kanon liked someone in school, but it looks like I don't need to worry at all." said .

Keima just looked at her with a unsure look.

"Please continue to take care of Kanon." said then she took her leave.

Keima looked at as she walked away when suddenly Keima heard some people yelling.

"How's Kanon doing?!" yelled Lime as they rushed to Kanon's dressing room.

"Is she ok?!" yelled Yuri as she followed Yuri.

"Lime, Yuri." said Keima as the two panted in front of him.

"S-So.. How is she?.." Lime asked again.

" She's resting right now." said Keima.

Yuri sighed in relief and said "That's good to hear.".

" I had my doubts but.. you really did good today." said Lime.

"You were so romantic! Rushing to her then carrying out of danger!" said Yuri.

"But what happened back there? " asked Lime.

"That...I don't know." said Keima.

"I see.." said Lime.

"Then I should be going, I still need to find my sister." said Keima.

"Sure, we'll tell Kanon you said goodbye." said Lime.

"Thank you." Keima said with a smile.

"Goodbye!" said Yuri as she waved goodbye.

Keima nodded and began walk out of the back stage.

-Outside the Concert Venue-

People was still exiting the concert venue. Some people was furious about what happened while others was deeply concerned. Keima played his PFP as he exited the venue.

"Where is Elsie and Haqua?" thought Keima as he played his PFP when he suddenly bumped into someone and made his PFP and the other person's stuff fall to the ground.

"I-I'm sorry!" said the girl as she kneel down to get her stuff.

"No, no, it's ok." said Keima then he also kneel down to get his PFP and help the girl.

"Here." said Keima as he gave the last item the girl dropped.

"Thank you...Capturing God.." said the girl with a smile as she took the last item from Keima.

"How do you know?" Keima immediately asked.

"Ohh sorry! I'm Fiore.." said the girl and offered a handshake while smiling.

Keima gave her an unsure look but shaked her hand anyway.

"I'm from Satyr." said Fiore as they shook hands.

Suddenly Keima's sight became black and he was unconscious.
