I thought I won't be distrubed today, but it seems, people still kept on disturbing me.. <_<
and my Berryz PV playlist made me stop and watch all of it. (From Anata nashi to Dakishimete Dakishimete)
but, hopefully, I managed to finish Chapter 6!

Hoping for Chance
Chapter 6
The suns light greeted me good morning, as its rays crept inside the dimly lit room;
it’s already morning Momo. Time to get up. I slightly opened my eyes, as I peeked at the too familiar face in front of me, looking so peaceful. I let out a smile, as I gently caressed her cheek, not wanting to wake her up.
I forgive you for last night and I know it’s hard for you to forget about her. I put my hand down, resting it on her chest, as she pulled me into a hug. I closed my eyes again as I cuddled closer, making myself comfortable,
I’ll help you forget… I looked at her again, pressing my lips unto her cheek,
because I only want you for myself…I slowly slid myself out of the covers, stretching my arms, as I walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind. As I finished my morning routine in the bathroom, I went back to the room, stopping at the mirror near Saki’s desk, checking myself out.
Momo, you look cute! I teased, moving my body sideways, admiring the curves and muscles of my body. I kept on smiling at myself, as I tried different poses. I was about to try another pose when someone wrapped her arms around my waist from behind, resting her head on my shoulder.
“Good morning,” she greeted as she smiled, I can see it from the mirror,
“good morning,” I replied, slightly turning my body to the left, my face just a few centimeters from hers,
“You look cute as always,” she whispered, making my cheeks grow red, before we kissed. I held her cheek, still kissing each other, as I turned myself to face her, wrapping her arms once again around my waist.
We stayed glued together; enjoying each kiss like it was our last when the phone suddenly rang. We stared at the phone, wondering who could be calling at a time like this. I looked at Saki, who looked at me disappointed,
“I’ll be right back, I promise.” She kissed my forehead before turning her attention to the ringing phone.
Who could be calling? Who ever it is, they destroyed the beautiful time I’m having with Saki-chan.
I walked behind her, as I tried to listen on the conversation, hugging her from behind,
“Yes, we’ll be there. Thank you for informing us.” I heard her say before putting the phone down,
“Who is it?” I asked, staring at her while she faced me,
“That was Takaya-san.” My face brightened as I heard her say our manager’s name,
“Takaya-san? Really? What did she say?” I asked, slightly shaking her as my excitement took over.
“She wants us at HP today, around 10.” She answered, smiling at me as she also got excited,
“Did she say why?” I asked again, jumping slightly,
“She didn’t say anything, but it might be that our break is over.” She laughed, taking my hand and leading me out to the hallway.
It’s great to hear from Takaya-san again. I’m so excited! It’s been a year since we last came to HP and it’s also been a year since our 21st single came out. After that single, Tsunku announced that we’d be having a one-year break, to let us rest from the tight schedule we had for our 5th year anniversary. That’s why it has been so long since all of Berryz got together and spend time rehearsing, recording and filming.
***Breakfast***When we entered the dining room, Saki’s mother was already fixing the table,
“Ah! Good morning to the two of you. Sit down, I’ll be serving the food soon,” Saki pulled a chair from the table, letting me stand in front of it, before helping me sit down comfortably. There’s this one thing that people don’t see about Captain. She tends to do it almost every time, but they don’t seem to see it or they just ignore it. She has this quality of a man, well, not just like any man, but a gentleman. I don’t know the term when saying it to a girl, but I like how the word fits her.
She looked at me, smiling like prince, as she held my hand, giving a gentle kiss on it. I could feel my heart beating fast, my cheeks growing red. She started to lean in. I can’t wait for her lips to touch mine,
“Saki! You’re spoiling breakfast.” Her mother shouted as she placed the food on the table. Hearing her mother shout, wanted me to look away from her, but her eyes won’t let me,
“Saki! If I see you in that position again when I come back, you won’t have breakfast.” Her mother walked out of the room, and as soon as she left, Saki pressed her lips unto mine. She backed away slightly after, giving out a smirk as her mother entered the room again.
Breakfast was quiet at first, but after a while, Saki’s mother started to talk to me. She asked questions about how I’d been doing, how my parents were doing and how I’m doing at my new school. We just talked and talked, while Saki just ate quietly, which was not unusual, but she hasn’t been this quiet since I hooked up with her. I looked at her, realizing she was not mentally with us. I held her hand and squeezed it, making her come back from her thoughts. Her mother left us then, when she saw me staring and holding her daughters hand,
“I’ll leave the both of you alone,” I heard her whisper as she took the empty plates to the kitchen.
***Saki’s POV***“Saki…” I heard the one beside me call,
“Yeah, Momo?” I answered, looking at her slightly worried face,
“Are you okay?” I looked at her with a smile, knowing she might be thinking about a reason why I’ve been quiet,
“Yeah, I’m okay.” I answered, still looking at her worried face. I squeezed her hand, still smiling at her, just to let her know I wasn’t thinking of something or someone else,
“I was just thinking of what are the reasons why Takaya-san suddenly called.” She tilted her head as she thinks about what I just said,
“When Takaya-san told me that we need to go to HP today, she specifically said, a special meeting will be held today and that there are a few matters we need to talk about.”“A few? So there is more than one, and it’s not only a Berryz meeting, C-ute will be there too.” She added, as we started to go back to my room to prepare.
***In HP Kids Conference Room***Entering the conference room, everyone was already there, laughing, talking, hugging and bugging each other. For so long that each of them haven’t seen each other, the room was so packed with noise, that the door should be left open for the noise to come out. But of course, we can’t do that, or else we’ll be disturbing the whole building. I felt a tug on my hand and it made me enter the room,
“Are you okay?” the girl holding my hand asked, I nodded as my answer, seeing her smile before she led me to the vacant seats beside Chinami.
“Ah! Miya-chan! Rii-chan!” Chinami yelled, as we got closer to her,
“Toku-san! It’s been a while!” the girl beside me yelled back,
“Do you know why we were called?” Chinami shouted back. Shaking her head, the girl beside me yelled back,
“I don’t know! Takaya-san said we would need to come. Since we’ll be discussing some matters.”I don’t know why the two of them were shouting at each other, when they are just a meter apart. Maybe because of the noise from the others, that made it hard to hear each other. I went to my seat, at the end of the table. Leaving a seat between Chinami’s and mine for Miyabi. I scanned the room, looking at each person’s features. MaiMai has grown more. She’s taller than Nakky now. Nakky, what did she do to her hair? It’s at shoulder length
! I love her long hair more. I let out a small pout, before turning to the one beside her,
Chisato? I leaned closer, trying to recognize the girl with shoulder length hair before, and now, back to her shorter-boyish hair.
I can’t believe Chisato would want to come back to that hairstyle, since she told us before she loved her long hair than this short one. I kept staring at her, until the girl beside her poked her, Kanna! She poked Chisato once more before running around the room, not letting Chisato catch her.
It’s great that Kanna’s leg is okay now. We wouldn’t want another HP Kid to leave HP. I looked more to the right and saw Maimi in between of Erika and Airi, with one arm hooked around Airi’s neck and one arm around Erika’s waist.
I was shocked on what I just saw, I knew that Erika and Maimi were dating a year ago, and Airi is head over heels on Maimi.
Who is the real one Maimi loves? I was about to ask Miyabi, who just sat beside me, until I heard what Nakky told MaiMai,
“Erika and Airi agreed to share Maimi.” I was like,
what? Why would they get to that kind of relationship? It’s hard to share…
“Maimi’s really lucky to have two girls. I wished I have that too.” I looked at Miyabi, letting what she said sink in before opening my mouth,
“So! I’m not enough?” I glared at her, locking her eyes onto mine.
She held the back of my neck, pulling me closer to her, as she pressed her lips on mine,
“You know I don’t need another one. You’re the only one I could ever want.” After hearing her explanation, I felt that someone was staring at us, and to my realization, the room was quiet and I think Miyabi realized that too, when she let go of me and glanced at the people around us.
I looked around but didn’t see anyone looking at us, but they were looking at somebody else. When we followed their gaze, standing near the front, Momo was holding Captain. Her lips, locked unto our Captain’s. It looked like Momo was the one who leaned in and it also looked like Captain was caught off guard. I winced as I felt pain from my hand. I looked at my hand and saw Miyabi’s hand squeezing it. I tried shaking her hand off but her grip was real tight,
“Miya…” I called. She looked at me, grinning, and when I told her about my hand, she immediately released it, apologizing for doing it,
“I’m sorry Risako. I didn’t mean to hold you so tight.” I smiled at her, telling her it was okay, as she once again looked at the front, where Maimi was teasing Captain and Momo. I let her do what she wanted, but one question bothered me,
why did Miyabi react to Captain and Momo’s kiss?Thirty minutes has passed and finally, Takaya-san and Hideki-san, the manager of C-ute, came in the room, hushing everyone before taking their place in front,
“Okay, first of all, we want to welcome back Berryz Koubou. Welcome back my children!” Takaya-san got excited and shouted her greeting to us, and all of us greeted her back,
“Let’s turn to the next thing in our list,” Hideki-san started,
“the next one is a great news to both groups. Berryz will have their 22nd single, entitled Comeback.” Takaya-san added while looking at Captain.
“And C-ute will have their 11th single, entitled Da-i-su-ki.” Hideki-san announced facing C-ute. For a while, Takaya-san and Hideki-san talked to their groups and explained about their new single, “
This year, you are given the signal to do 3 singles. Since you were away for a year, Tsunku composed five singles just for Berryz.” I looked at Takaya-san with amazement, Tsunku already made that many songs for us, in just a year of absence. He’s really giving us things to do since we did get the break we asked for. I looked at Miyabi, as she held my hand, leaning near my ear,
“you’ll be getting more lines again…” she whispered, making me giggle, but it quickly faded as I felt it again. I felt someone was staring at us again. I looked around, but saw everyone listening to Takaya-san. I shrugged before thinking;
maybe I’m just imagining things.
“Hai! For the last agenda, we need the following to stay behind, and those whose names won’t be called, you’re finished for the day.” Hideki-san explained, as she turned the page of her folder,
“Okay, Shimizu Saki, Tsugunaga Momoko, Natsuyaki Miyabi,” Takaya-san called out before looking at C-ute’s manager,
“Suzuki Airi, Hagiwara Mai and Okai Chisato.” Hideki-san called, adding the three C-ute members to be left behind.
Not being called, I looked at the others who started saying their goodbyes and Takaya-san telling them to comeback tomorrow, and so did Hideki-san. I looked at Miyabi, who looked at me disappointed,
“I’m sorry. I’ll walk you home tomorrow. I don’t want you to wait for me outside. You’ll get bored and eventually want to go home.” I got upset on what she just said, it’s like telling me that I get bored easily. I patted her shoulder, giving out a smile,
“It’s okay, and I won’t be going home alone. My grandmother told me that she’d pick me up.” I gave her a peck before going out the door.
“I just hope she doesn’t get to know the truth…” I whispered as I walk through the corridor.
***Miyabi's POV***“Okay, down to business,” Hideki-san started,
“as you can see, only the six of you are left behind, and we have an important matter to discuss.” Takaya-san nodded as she reached out for the whiteboard and turned it around, revealing one word written on it, Buono!
“Eh! This concerns Buono?” Momo asked, looking confused, while Airi and me just stared at her and our managers as they looked at us with serious faces,
“before this matter, let us introduce to you two HP kids that will also accompany you in this matter.”After saying that, the door opened and two familiar faces came in the room and joined our managers in front,
“I guess all of you know these two, but let them introduce themselves again.”The one nearest Takaya-san made a step forward,
“Hi! I’m Maiha Ishimura. It’s nice to see all of you again.” She stepped back and the other stepped forward,
“Megumi Murakami here. It’s great to be back.” We were all silent, but I tried to break the silence and greeted the two former HP kids that left, and now coming back.
The two sat down on the seats beside Saki, as Maiha hugged her Captain for the first time again,
“Okay, you guys can talk to each other later, but for now, let’s finish business.” Takaya-san took the folders at the file drawers and gave each member their respective folders. Megumi, Miyabi, MaiMai and Saki got
blue colored folders[/B], while Momo, Chisato, Maiha and Airi got
red ones.
“Now, we all know Buono had been great. Releasing 8 singles and 2 albums.” Hideki started,
“as an order from the higher officials, we were tasked to renew Buono.”“What do you mean renew Buono?” Momo asked suddenly, standing from her seat, but Captain made her sit down again,
“One member of Buono will be moved to a new group we are forming. Don’t worry, Buono will get two new members.”Why would they even think of renewing Buono? We were already doing great! Fans love us! I was surprised by the news, I can’t think of Buono being disbanded and being put up again, adding just two new members and taking one member out. With only the three of us, each of us has a possibility being the one taken out. I just wish it’s not me.
“Now, about this new group, this group would be singing opening and ending song of various anime’s and maybe live actions.” Takaya-san explained, as Hideki-san wrote on the whiteboard,
“This group would be called Blitz.” Takaya-san pointed at the name on the board, which Hideki-san just wrote.
“Now, Buono will still continue on singing ending songs for Shugo Chara Doki and in the upcoming 3rd season of Shugo Chara.” Hideki-san took her folder, and started to scan the info in the papers.
“Who would be in Blitz?” MaiMai asked, trying to open her folder but Takaya-san stopped her,
“More importantly, who is going to be taken out of Buono?” I asked, trying to get the comments of the others, before our managers tell us,
“Surely not me.” Momo sternly answered, then she looked at Airi, who only shrugged, not wanting to talk about it.
“Why don’t they just add one member to Buono, since that is the initial plan, right? Why take out one and put two?” Chisato asked, trying to distinguish the difference of the two ideas.,
“They surely have a great plan for this new group and the new Buono, for them to change the line-up.” Captain answered, calm and cool as usual. I admire her personality, being so cool and calm even in bad situations. I wish I could be like that soon.
“I think it is now the time to reveal the members of the new Buono.” Takaya-san took hold of her folder, as let us see the color of it,
“All the members with folders colored red, you are the new Buono.” I felt myself getting weak as I realize I was holding a blue folder, I’m not in Buono anymore
…Snap out of it Miyabi! This new group would be great for you too. Megumi, you have worked with her before, in Sexy Otonajan. Saki, you know you’re safe with her, and MaiMai, she’s cute and taller than Saki, but she’s okay. You’ll be fine.I shook my head as I snapped out from my thoughts, and found Takaya-san handling the new Buono group,
“Okay, those with blue folders are members of the new group, Blitz.” Hideki-san announced, as she let us make a circle, and started discussing about our first project.
