Chapter 1
2006 31st December
Minutes away from the New Year.
“Momoko, Momoko respond”
“Hai Momoko here, I’ve infiltrated and am currently sliding through the air vents. When I reach the room I will contact you, Kumai-chan” with the name being emphasised in a cute childish way. Momoko was the smallest member of the group and was also pretty agile and so often did the ‘small space’ sneaking around.
“Just keep an eye on where you’re going”
“Hai hai~,”
Yurina Kumai standing 173cm tall was posing as a mid-teenage waitress, when in fact she was almost the youngest of the group at 13. She proceeded to smile at an old man that walked past, obviously liking her maid-like uniform, then walk off carefully to a staff only room.
Puts her hand to her ear.
“Minna, Tsugunaga is on the move positions.” She then touched her ear in a slightly different way.
“Maasa, you too”
“Huh? Oh right mission.” Maasa had an unfortunate habit of ‘spacing out a lot.’
“Kumai-chan, the boss is on the move.” Said a small girl, with headphones on sitting infront of lots of screens, most showing security cameras.
“Ryokai, I’ll make sure to give him my best smile. Here he is. Kumai out.”
The ‘boss’ walked up onto a stage with a microphone on a stand in the middle.
“It is my greatest pleasure to see you all here today, together for one cause. I have not had the opportunity to visit the communities in Africa, but my colleagues have kept me well informed and I am pleased to say that the money raised tonight is truly for a good cause.”
Yurina could not help but laugh at this, not out loud she was better trained than that.
“All these rich idiots think that we’ll keep giving them our money into their businesses if it looks like they’re ‘good people.’ Are other people really that blind?” she thought
“We would like to welcome some talented youths to perform for your enjoyment this night.” The irony of this comment also made Yurina laugh.
“Presenting Sakura Yamamoto backed by the dance group ‘Otome Hearts’.”
Miyabi in a beautiful gown, complete with gloves and stilettos walked onstage. She was followed by Chinami and Maasa dressed similarly but obviously more practical. Risako was also close behind them, acting the part of a friend/manager. Much easier to conceal weapons and other devices in what she could wear if not performing.
They began their performance.

Chapter 2
“Ah kita, kita” Momoko put her hand to her ear “Captain, I’m here and it’s empty, shall I proceed?” Saki then went to checking her screens.
“Just a second, place your locating device on the outside of the air vent so I can check the security system in the room.” Momoko followed this instruction.
Saki then began to formulate a map on her screen and began hacking into the security system.
“Ok if there was a security system I think I’ve disabled it, but proceed with caution.”
“Ryokai.”
Saki then informed Yurina of the situation, who then sent Miyabi the first signal, who then relayed one to Risako who was not in Yurina’s line of sight.
“Ok I’m fully in, so where do you think the chip will be?”
No reply
“Captain?”
“Yes sorry I was running a scan, seeing if I could detect it, I’m afraid there are too many other silicon and metal based objects it’s impossible to detect without knowing its exact structure, and even then it’s not even very accurate. Sorry but you’ll have to just do this the old fashioned way. Well, to a degree anyway, some of your tools should help. Saki out.”
Momoko pulled out a thin, but bright torch and began looking around.
“Ah~ how am I supposed to find a small chip?”
She began searching in, around, between, under, on top and any other way she could think of. It was not going well, but she was not going to give up. Momoko never gave up on anything. It was just then that she noticed something odd. She spotted an unmarked metal box. It was locked but that would never stop her. She took out a small kit with lots of tiny metal rods and a ‘skeleton key’ of sorts. She tried the key, changing its shape several times, but to no avail. She had guessed it wouldn’t be that easy. She then spent ten minutes being her pieces of metal and turning them in different ways. Eventaully it came loose and inside was a ‘keep safe’ box, like the type a child would have. It was wooden and well decorated. She pulled it out and opened this lock easily. Inside it was lined with red material and she quickly noticed it was a false bottom and was about to pull it out when suddenly.
“Momoko Tsugunaga! Don’t take it out! It has a pressure trigger inside and will explode whilst setting of an alarm. I’m almost sure it has the chip inside it but it could be a decoy. We’ll have to try and get inside it now…hold on Yurina’s contacting me.
“Captain Miyabi-tachi are nearly finished we need to get out now!”
“Ok I’m talking with Momoko now, we have a complication try to drag it out, stop them from starting the last song straight away, make a ruckus or something.”
“Ryokai.” She smiled “This is just too great.” She thought to herself.

Chapter 3
“Ok Momoko, Yurina will drag out the performance, we need to think of something.”
“Oh I once saw something like this in a manga” you could almost hear Saki sigh inside; Momoko’s weak spot was manga.
“What we need is something of the same pressure and weight to go onto it after I’ve taken my finger off, using that first since it’s still likely to detonate but at least it might help make it smaller. The manga used dirt, there’s a plant pot here, I’ll use that.”
“Ryokai, just be careful. Saki out.”
Meanwhile Miyabi’s song was finishing and Yurina already had an idea.
Just as the music was fading, she screamed. Her scream was pure pain.
“A COCKROACH!!” and pointed towards the stage causing Miyabi and Maasa to scream also. They ran and hugged Chinami, who never really had a problem with bugs.
“Daijobu, Daijobu it’s not going to hurt you.”
This kept the audience distracted for a while.
“Yosh this should weigh about the same as the cover, it doesn’t seem that heavy.”
She then carefully poured about half through a little corner she lifted up. She then peeled the rest away until she could careful place her finger on the trigger. Sure enough it all came of without detonating. It was filled with some kind of foreign currency and underneath the notes, sure enough, was a silicon chip.
By this point the cockroach problem had passed they had just begun the final song. Yurina was being scolded by the other waitresses but was laughing inside.
“Ok, here it goes” and with that Momoko put the rest of the dirt in whilst taking her finger off. Nothing happened
“Captain! It didn’t detonate!”
“…..but I can detect a change in the room, I think it has a delayed response get out of there.” And with that Momoko decided it would not be clever to hang around and so quickly grabbed a chair and climbed back in the airvent, just as she did the explosion happened.
“Ittai~”
“Momoko what’s wrong?”
“Captain a shard of wood is in my leg I think.”
“Can you still get out of there?” Momoko began to crawl.
“It hurts but I can keep moving. Momoko out.”
“Yurina signal to Miyabi, get it done now.” She began to sway her head to the music, Miyabi understood. She began to raise her arm up, pointing towards the boss, but looking like it was part of the dance. Risako’s face changed, she was in killer mode.
She dropped her smoke bomb and just before it detonated, lifted her arm and shot the boss clean in his head. The rest of the girls grabbed guards and knocked them unconscious. They all ran out in previously set out paths, not again meeting until they were at least three blocks away, where Saki’s van was parked. The door opened and they climbed in.
“Well done team, another successful mission,” but suddenly noticed, “Where’s Momoko?”
*****
So what does everyone think of the first 3 chapters?? Sorry they're not beta so probably full of English mistakes but I'd love to know what people think so far??
First time writing a H!P fanfic...first time properly writing a fanfic lol hope I portrayed them all ok.^^ and dont worry Maiha's not appearence will be explained later.
-
Cute and chibi agents are my type :3 Lol, Momo need to be more serious.
Yurina Kumai standing 173cm tall was posing as a mid-teenage waitress, when in fact she was almost the youngest of the group at 13. She proceeded to smile at an old man that walked past, obviously liking her maid-like uniform, then walk off carefully to a staff only room.
Lol, this make me giggle unconsciously.
“Huh? Oh right mission.” Maasa had an unfortunate habit of ‘spacing out a lot.’
Lol, when I trying to have faith in Maasa. She better be careful. XD
“Kumai-chan, the boss is on the move.” Said a small girl, with headphones on sitting infront of lots of screens, most showing security cameras.
Captain?!
Beautiful dancers!.
-endofchap1-
Saki then began to formulate a map on her screen and began hacking into the security system.
... Captain gonna catch me next time lol.
Oh, damn. It gonna explodes?!
-endofchap2-
“Oh I once saw something like this in a manga” you could almost hear Saki sigh inside; Momoko’s weak spot was manga.
LOL, what?! That will cost her life.
“Ittai~”
Although this scene should be serious and dangerous, I can't stop thinking about Momo's cuteness lol.
“Well done team, another successful mission,” but suddenly noticed, “Where’s Momoko?”
CODE RED!
I'm shocked when refreshing the page. Because I see another Berryz fic :D Wow, 3 chapters in a row sure fast. Your fic is good and interesting to read. I think it just need more details. Ah, you will include Maiha too?! That will be awesome! I would like to read more! Thank you :3
-
yay~ someone read my story!!
I was worried people might get bored with too much detail, but I guess real stories are full of description.
I'll keep that in mind when writing my next chapters. yeah I wrote all 3 at once, it was fun ^_^
btw anything in reference to character is usually in their profiles(like Maasa spacing out, momoko and manga and miyabi+maasa with cockroaches etc Saki's fast at emailing so i thought she could be computer girl lol plus seems boss like)
kyaa~ i wanna write the next bit now lol
-
After one day, other readers will start pouring in lol. Just give them some time to read :D
Heh, people don't get bored over details. They love every inch of that. (well, in my case and some other readers I know).
Because other fanfic writers tend to create each members own unique characteristics, I'm assuming that when I start reading yours too. Lol. I'm so stupid don't realize it after reading though. So, you're going to use their true characteristics? That will be welcomed XD Anyway... if you're posting new chapters too fast, the readers will be left behind XDDD
Ok, scrap that. I'm joking lol. Keep the spirit up!
-
I'm already in, umm I usually read fanfics after school
and I'm starting to like this one.
This mission was to prevent silicon poisoning? Well anyways I might've misinterpreted the story wrong.
I might start a fic of my own,
starting with the main character as Chiko (Risako)
-
Hey, this is good. I don't know much about these girls myself, and I guess it helps: I have no expectations about them and therefore, I'm open to whatever I'm presented with.
;)
-
yay more readers!!
I was probably pretty vague cuz I'm a slight geek, but often computer chips are made from silicon as silicon has properties of both a metal and non-metal. There'll be more information about it in a later chapter, don' t worry i won't leave you in the dark ^^
Also I'm quite glad that I've even managed to get the attention of a non-berryz fan woo~
-
Nice~!
But, but, I must know! -flails-
What's become of Momoko?! D:
-hooked-
-
Chapter 4
All she could hear was the sound of her heavy breathing and her heart pounding out of her chest. Momoko was trapped. She was in a dark alleyway, a street away from the van, but the guards were so close that if she spoke she would definitely be found.
“Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Dou.shi.yo~” she thought to herself. She needed to get out but even if she could call for help, it would just put the other girls in danger.
“Think Momo, think! What can you do?” The guards were still out there and it was only a matter of time before they came into here, looked behind the dumpster and found her. Also, her leg had started bleeding with the wood still in there; she needed to get out of here.
She thought she saw someone out the corner of her eye, but they moved so fast she was not sure. The sky was black with a pinkish orange haze from the street lights, reflecting on the clouds. The moon was a perfect crescent, so light was not particularly good. Just then, she heard a loud crash from in the street, she got her night vision goggles out(which of course, being a secret agent meant they only looked like sunglasses with a few bumps at the sides for buttons) to see what was happening. She could not believe it, the guards were gone. It was just a street with some trees and parked cars. She switched the goggles to heat vision mode and saw there was no one, as if nothing had happened. She decided not to wait around and fine out more so came out from behind the dumpster, which smelt really bad by the way, and ran towards the street, keeping close to the wall. When she was sure it was safe she took her goggle/glasses off and it was then she saw it. A red tulip on the floor.
“My favourite flower…” she picked it up, “Kirei…” then realised she had stayed to long and ran to the van.
“Why don’t we try to contact her?” Maasa suggested.
“No, if she was in a situation where that would be safe to do, she would have done that herself by now.” Saki replied.
“Well we can’t sit here and do nothing Captain.” Miyabi complained.
“Everyone just calm down, I’m sure if there was an option right now Captain would have said by now. She might’ve just gotten into a point where she could be caught and had to wait.” Chinami suggested.
Captain’s eyes suddenly widened dramatically
“Oh no, Momoko injured her leg at the end of the mission.”
“Nani!” replied everyone else.
“Oh no this is terrible, what are we going to do?” Miyabi began to become very worried.
“She’s here…” said Risako, with no expression on her face or in her voice. Sure enough Risako was the only one still watching the monitors and there was Momoko.
Saki quickly returned to her computers and opened the door. Into which Momoko pulled herself in, before collapsing under her pained leg.
“Momoko thank God you’re ok!” Yurina exclaimed before really seeing her leg. “Maasa quickly get the first aid kit!
“Ryokai.”
Maasa brought the small green medical kit over to where Momoko was as Chinami and Yurina pulled her inside fully so that the door could be close and so she was now lying properly. Maasa then ripped her clothes of where the wound was
“Right, I’ll tell the driver to take us back to base.” And with that Saki began typing again.
“Captain…the chip” said Momoko’s wavering voice.
“Shh, try not to speak too much.” Maasa said, carefully brushing her fringe to try and calm her down. She then went into her pocket and pulled out the computer chip. It was in a special air tight ‘static-proof’ plastic bag. She then handed it to Miyabi who handed it onto Saki.
“Ok let’s see if we can get anything off this,” and with that she inserted it into a slot on the computer.
“It’s on a separate system so if there’s some kind of virus it shouldn’t mess up the equipment.” And with that, she was away into her work.
“Ah, ittai~” Maasa had just pulled the wooden chip out of Momoko’s leg.
“Sorry Momo, it had to be done.” And with that she began checking for splinters, then spotted something odd.
“Kuso. I think there’s something Captain needs to look at. Captain!”
Miyabi woke Captain from her ‘computer studying trance’ and signalled at Maasa.
“What is it?”
“I found this in Momo’s wound,” and she pointed to a metallic looking object, miniscule object.
“Dammit, Get This Out Of Here, they’ll find us with this thing. Can you remove it Sudou-chan?”
“I think so but not without hurting Momo a lot, we really need to be in controlled conditions wi..”
“It’s fine...just get it out.” Momo’s faint voice said.
“…wakaru.” Maasa began getting out her instruments(medical ones) and proceeded to remove the object.

omg another reader, kyaa~ i'm so happy im grinning from ear to ear.
again it's not beta'ed so do tell me if there's any huge mistakes or if i made anything unclear that seems like it should be clear.
Also just realised I left out Saki and Momoko's clothes description, I'll add this is if I ever go through and correct previous mistakes
Saki is wearing a dark blue plasticy/leather jacket with a white srtipe and a black top underneath with matching bottoms.
Momoko was wearing a spy type 'crawling in tight places' smooth tight outfit, kinda totally spies-esque but black(to hide her at night) with a utility type matching belt.
-
Berryz Koubou.
A super top secret government group trained to infiltrate and combat terrorists.
They fear nothing.
Except cockroaches ;D
I lol'd at the part where Maasa forgot about their mission. :lol:
Yurina in a maid outfit? Did you just say Yurina was wearing a maid outfit? :imdead:
Momo's the one doing the infiltrating like crawling in vents in stuff. I imagined that Saki would be the one doing that because she's the smallest...oh yeah they almost have the same height now. :D
Your English is fine, don't worry too much about mistakes, Blu. That's the least of your problems because now you have to keep on updating to satisfy rabid readers like me. :temper:
j/k
It was really fun reading your story. Keep it up. :D
-
Well technically Momo is the smallest now, by something like 0.2cm. PLus this meant Saki could be more boss-like ^^
I'm glad I have rebid readers cuz I'm absolutely love writing this story, I'll probably spread out the rest of my postings to stop me writing too much without thinking it through.
I'll try and fail to draw chibi pics of the girls(im crap at drawing made-up even half-real looking people without vast amounts of references lol.)
and yes Yurina in a maid outfit! thought it'd be cool :p
kyaa~ i really hope my story becomes popular! lol
-
“Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Dou.shi.yo~” she thought to herself. She needed to get out but even if she could call for help, it would just put the other girls in danger.
Poor Momo. Ganbare!
A red tulip on the floor.
“My favourite flower…” she picked it up, “Kirei…” then realised she had stayed to long and ran to the van.
I smelled a saviour. Somebody help her, or the flower just a coincidence?
“She’s here…” said Risako, with no expression on her face or in her voice. Sure enough Risako was the only one still watching the monitors and there was Momoko.
Risako believes in Momo. At last, saved!
“I found this in Momo’s wound,” and she pointed to a metallic looking object, miniscule object.
“Dammit, Get This Out Of Here, they’ll find us with this thing. Can you remove it Sudou-chan?”
Huh, tracking bug? Hmm, I wonder when and how it stucked at her injury.
Phew.. Nice chapter 4 Blu-Cherri :D The heart-pounding Momo's moment can be felt. Keep the idea pouring! XD
-
Oh crap I just noticed a continuity mistake xD
I won't point it out but I will edit it, sorry everyone.
and and anothe, I wrote Momoko instead of Maasa at one point, maybe i should check these through before posting lol.

Chapter 5
“It’s out, I got it Captain.” Saki grabbed it out of Maasa’s hand, very harshly. “Just as I expected, we need to somehow make them think it’s still with us so that they follow a cold trail.”
They all sat silent for a moment.
“Ah, why don’t we use Mika?” Yurina suggested.
“Yes, that’s exactly what we’ll use.
Mika stood for Mechanical Instrumental Kanine Autobot
Yurina took out from a metal box, a robot dog.
“Yosh, yoshi” Yurina said as she patted the metal dog.
“Ok let’s say our goodbyes to Mika and get back to base safely.” So Saki began to insert the tracker so that it was definitely stuck in Mika’s outer casing.
The vehicle stopped for traffic lights.
“Here’s our chance” Chinami said has she opened the door in the floor.
“Bye, bye Mika” said Yurina, waving as Saki carefully placed the dog-bot on the road. Immediately it shot to life and ran to the pavement, taking off onto another road.
“I’m gonna miss Mika she’s so cute!” Sighed Yurina.
Some time passed as they approached base.
“Yosh, I think I understand. This is indeed the chip we were looking for.” Said Saki, taking off her headset as she did.
“So what does it do?” asked Maasa, who had Momo sleeping on her lap.
“Well it’s a decoder of sorts, I haven’t got the code it’s for or anything relating to it, so I can’t tell you much. It’s probably not information meant for us.”
“If we don’t know what it does exactly, how can you tell you’re got the right chip?” Miyabi asked.
“Well basically they just gave me things to look for, such as which gates in which order.”
“Gates?” Momoko spoke, as she came to.
“It’s physics and circuits, basically they sometimes pass electricity and sometimes don’t.”
“Oh is that all” and with that Momoko fell back asleep. Maasa laughed at this under her breath.
“Yes anyway, we’re about to arrive, everyone get ready and changed.”
*****
Sorry it's such a short chapter, but the next one is mure full of detail and happenings as I'm sure you can imagine, so hold tight. I've even got pictures to go with the next bit!

Yurina took out from a metal box, a robot dog.
“Yosh, yoshi” Yurina said as she patted the metal dog.
This scene is so sweet. It kinda remind me when captain take out the dog from a box at the river in Koinu Dan Monogatari. >_< No more Mika after this?
“So what does it do?” asked Maasa, who had Momo sleeping on her lap.
Momo always got cute moment. Yeah, I know she's injured. Not like I'm complaining though XD
“Gates?” Momoko spoke, as she came to.
“It’s physics and circuits, basically they sometimes pass electricity and sometimes don’t.”
“Oh is that all” and with that Momoko fell back asleep. Maasa laughed at this under her breath.
Hehe. See?
Wheee... :D I'll waiting for the longer one patiently now..

Here's chapter 6 but before I post it, here's the berryz outfits. I haven't drawn a final picture of the design yet, so you'll have to make do with piecing it together with a few pictures lol.
This is pretty much the whole design, being pink it would be Risako's version.
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4401/berryzcostume2qx7.th.jpg) (http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berryzcostume2qx7.jpg) but i wasn't happy with the top and arms so I did some other pictures showing a variation on it.(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9854/berryzcostume3ir4.th.jpg) (http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berryzcostume3ir4.jpg)
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3972/berryzcostumenz7.th.jpg) (http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berryzcostumenz7.jpg)This is the closest to final design, but it's not coloured in so that's why I posted the first one.(and yes i messed up the hand, so i hid it lol)
Enjoy!
Chapter 6
The van driver parked the van, then stepped out and left to report that the vehicle had been returned. In a place such as this, reporting when and where everything is, is essential. There was nothing much to see in this car-park, all the armoured vehicles and anything that was more interesting than their van was on a different floor. This included all the big shots posh expensive cars, only the low down workers parked their own vehicles on this level. The girls stepped out in their uniforms, full body white and their own respective colours.
Saki – Green
Momoko – Yellow
Chinami – Orange
Maasa – Blue
Miyabi – Red
Yurina – Purple
Risako – Pink
They walked along the white marked, grey car park towards the elevator. The three eldest stood in one the other four stood in the other, all in complete silence as here they had to show the other ‘employees’ that they were professional and deserved to work here.
Their elevators arrived almost simultaneously and them stepped out and walked together to the large office area.
“Hai,” Saki held out the chip in her hand, “We retrieved it successfully.”
“Thank you Shimizu-san, we’ll take it from here” and with that the man took the chip from Saki and went over to his desk area. The girls took this as the signal to leave and walked until the corridor was empty besides them.
“Onaka suita~” whined Momoko, just as her stomach began to rumbled. The girls began to laugh softly.
“Ok, let’s get something to eat; I can smell the food from here.” Yurina said.
“…I smell curry.” Said the usually silent one, Risako.
“Yeah so do I! C’mon let’s get some food!” Saki exclaimed. So with that they all walked to the cafeteria/dinning room. They all lined up with their trays, chose their food, and then chose a table with enough seats to sit at.
“So, what happened back there Momoko?” Asked Chinami.
“We were worried…” Added Risako, to the surprise of everyone, she her voice sounded indifferent but her face looked slightly pained. Maybe she was getting better, going back to how she was.
“Thank you Risako,” Momoko smiled, “Well, basically as I started getting closer to the street the van was on; I spotted some guards that had managed to get ahead of me. I knew if I carried on they’d either catch me or follow me to everyone. So I hid behind a dumpster in an alley…” she paused. Should she tell them what she saw, they might think she’s making it up, or worse – try to investigate it. Except, maybe she wanted to find out what happened.
“Momoko?” Yurina waved her hand in front of her face, trying to wake her up. “You still there Momo?” Then suddenly Momoko shook her face.
“Sorry about that, I was thinking through what happened next. Basically…I…saw something.”
“Something?” replied everyone. Momoko looked slightly worried.
“Well…I’m not sure what it was, but I saw something…in the sky…go towards the guards. Then there was a big bang and crash, followed by total silence. I checked it out using the glasses and there was no one, so I ran back.” She decided to not mention the flower, though she did not really know why.
“Eeeh~, that was a close escape Momo!” exclaimed Maasa.
“I wonder what that thing was?” said Saki, as her face changed. She was thinking hard through this.
“Well whatever it was, it saved me from those guards. It was likely that they would have eventually checked the alley I was in.”
They all then sat in silence, all thinking through what Momoko had told them.
“Well anyway, I’ll go write up the report then. Did everyone else return without incident?” Everyone nodded to Saki’s question. “Well then, guess we better get on with whatever needs to be done.” She said with a smile. Everyone nodded and stood up to leave.
Just as they were leaving, Risako stopped Momoko and said she wanted to talk, Momoko agreed.
“What haven’t you told us?”
“.Wha…what do you mean? My story? I told you everything. Zenbu”
“No you didn’t.” there was a pause. “I’m worried about you…please…let me…help you.” Her eyes were full of worry.
“Ok, but don’t tell the others…When I came out from the alley I found this.” She pulled the tulip out of her bag, “It’s my favourite flower. I didn’t think that was important, I mean. Tulips are common aren’t they? Red tulips must be common.” She was more trying to convince herself than Risako. Then Risako did something she had not done in a long time. She smiled. It was not a big smile, but it was definitely a smile. Momoko was tempted so point this out and give her a sort of congratulations, but decided this moment was far more important to treasure than to jump up and down about. Risako had actually smiled.
“Momoko, I never knew that red tulips were your favourite.” Momoko almost blushed at this, though she was not quite sure why. Then Risako’s face returned to the way it usually is.
“I will help you find out what happened back there, that’s a promise.”
“Thank you Risako.” And Momoko decided to be brave following that statement, and hugged Risako. She was not pushed away, but nor did Risako completely embrace her. She stepped back from Risako, said her goodbyes, and headed off upstairs.

So a Kirei's a red tulip mm?
I'm surprised you know Risako's fav food is Curry! xD
That's okay.
Saki – Green
Momoko – Yellow
Chinami – Orange
Maasa – Blue
Miyabi – Red
Yurina – Purple
Risako – Pink
IT ALL MATCHES!
Just as they were leaving, Risako stopped Momoko and said she wanted to talk, Momoko agreed.
“What haven’t you told us?”
“.Wha…what do you mean? My story? I told you everything. Zenbu”
“No you didn’t.” there was a pause. “I’m worried about you…please…let me…help you.” Her eyes were full of worry.
She KNOWS THE TRUTH!!
Yeah, I'm only doing 2 quotes for now =o but the fics getting better and better atm =)
arigatou gozaimasu!
-
Risako smiled after a long time? Their training as agents must be really tough. :depressed:
I wonder what Momoko saw that came from the sky. Something from space maybe? :dunno:

I love it when other writers write about Berryz getting meals together.. It such a happy and fun read. They're Berryz for godsake!.. They should always get meals together.. (maybe I'm going to far lol)
Hmm, you're going for MomoxRisako? :3 Nice! I bet Momo's saviour is Maiha :D
Your drawing about their costumes are cute :heart: And the costumes is lovely as they're.

THanx everyone, hehe I love all the mysteries! so much fun! <3
if there's ever a japanese word you're not sure about just ask
here are some of them
ryokai - roger(like on a walkie-talkie)
kirei - pretty
ittai - it hurts/pain
zenbu - everything(total)
Onaka suita - hungry
yosh/yoshi(it's pronounced the same either way) - ok, but is also used when patting a dog sometimes, like comfort thing(i saw yossi do it lol)
kuso -crap/shit but not a strong swear word in japan(meaning its common for idols to say, so probably closer to crap but in english the two mean the same thing so whatever)
er I can't remember many others i used lol but I hope everyone liked my pictures, they weren't originally for berryz, i jsut drew them randomly and when i was writing i needed an outfit for all that matched and i remembered i'd drawn that so yeah ^_^ ALSO that Momo/risako scene, dunno where that came from O.o lol it just seemed to..fit. And my info about favourites and all come from wiki.theppn
also I dunno if anyone noticed or not, but my images of scary risako etc are from a expressions in hotaru no hoshi and her general character idea in here is inspired by heero yui(i haven't watched that show for years but <333)

New chapter!
You can kinda see now how this story is going i guess(bearing in mind i plan on having several stories- if all goes to plan. ^^
Chapter 7
Momoko was sitting on the bed in her room. They’d all had separate bedrooms for a while now; it was working out well but did seem lonely at times. Momoko sighed. She had put the tulip into a tall glass with water. She’d added a spoonful of sugar, as she had heard that makes them last longer, but she could see its beauty had already began to fade. The flower was on her window shelf, it was a pale wood. The wood was waxed, so it had a matte texture. Next to it were a few precious stones and cute items that she had accumulated over the years. Her walls were pretty plain and white. The basic ideas of the rooms were designed by someone else and so were made to fit each girl’s colour, so Momoko had a few items of yellow and her bed was yellow based. She had grown tired of the colour yellow, she started to wish they could all swap colours every so often – just to make things more interesting. She had never really been given the chance to think about a favourite colour, but it was probably red. That was probably why she liked the red tulips and why she wanted this flower to survive. It gave another aspect to her otherwise tiresome bedroom. Momoko lay down on her bed with her hands behind her head and sighed. Soon they would be assigned another mission. They would investigate it, advance then make the final move. It was the same basic process every time. Ever since that happened, everything has seemed just so mundane, she missed using her to its full extent. Momoko fell asleep where she lay…
Saki was stretching. Even though she did not work in the field anymore, she liked to keep her body limber - encase the situation ever arose. She sighed and sat up straight. She thought to herself how much fun working in the field was, she was so active and she was able to really squeeze into small spaces and could get through any place. Now that all changed…ever since that. Sure, she had been trained about the equipment, but she hated causing the team to be out of work whilst she and Momoko were re-trained.
“Well I guess I don’t mind being the smart one, it’s quite fun really…” she said to herself. The loneliness these rooms sometimes brought… how could one deal with it. No one was allowed in the others room. You would never have to worry about someone walking in on you changing – but there was also never a chance for someone to come in and cheer you up or play games at night. It was to avoid any ‘incidents’ happening of course. Saki looked around at her green room. She had a small plant growing on her window sill, this plant never flowered. Her wall had pictures of other green plants such as exotic grasses. She rolled over and pulled an old box out from under her bed – hidden under some green cloth. The box was a metal that had begun to corrode. It looked like it had once been a light blue, but now a dull grey metal showed through. She opened it easily as the hinges were old but well used and so moved very smoothly. Inside were different coloured stones that she had collected from missions, back when she was in the field. She slowly ran her fingers over the stones, then closed the lid, re-wrapped the box and returned it to its place under her bed.

i guess this is kinda a short chapter, but i felt that with all the descriptions and all we're beginning to see more about these girls characters. I'm really liking it so i hope you are too ^^

Chapter 8
A noise could be heard from outside their rooms. Saki and Momoko stepped out almost simultaneously. It was early in the morning and both had only just woken up, so the brightness of the blue-walled-corridor was hardly a good way to start the day. When they looked out they saw Risako on the floor, looking angry and one of their superiors, a man, was standing strong in front of her.
“You do what you’re told and nothing more! You understand!?” Risako sat there in silence. The man suddenly realised that he was being watched as the other members opened their doors to take a look.
“Everyone back inside your rooms,” No one moved. “NOW!” This made everyone, except Risako, jump slightly and they all went back inside their rooms.
Momoko wanted to know what was going on, she somehow knew it was related to her and the incident. She sincerely hoped it was not her fault, she could not stand that! She grabbed a cup and put it between her ear and the door to hear better what was happening, Saki was doing the same. It was muffled but it was easy enough to hear.
“Listen, Risako, you are an agent, you follow orders, you do investigate without authorisation and you do not go around trying to find your own jobs and cases. We do not work this way.” Risako pulled herself to her feet and stood straight, staring at the man.
“Do you understand?” Risako just stood in silence. “I said, Do.You.Under.stand?” Still silence. He slapped her, hard across the cheek. Her head turned as he hit her, but she just turned it back and stared. Eventually she realised this was pointless and so she said yes quietly as she nodded and then walked into her room, shutting the door carefully behind her.
The slap was hard enough for Momoko to hear clearly. She really started to feel guilty now. Little did she know that Saki was beginning to realise that something was going on with Risako and another member, she knew Risako would not act like this if only for her own sake.
The girls all went down to breakfast together and sat together. Nothing was said of the morning’s incident; in fact so far nothing had been said at all. Maasa decided that she could not take this anymore; she had to break the silence.
“Mm...umai! These fried eggs are almost as good as my own. Hey, maybe I should offer to help cook some of the breakfast?” Yurina quickly picked up on what Maasa was doing.
“Nah, I wanna keep your cooking all to myself, you should just cook breakfast for the seven of us!” At the word seven Momoko and Saki looked slightly sad, like there was something missing. Yurina quickly tried to fix this.
“Hey maybe we could ask for yakiniku at some point, Maasa and I could cook it. Of course if any of you wanted to help that’d be great! We could almost have some kind of pique-nique!” Yurina and Maasa seemed really excited at this idea. Risako started to tidy her things up to leave.
“Where are you going Risako?” Miyabi asked, trying not to sound concerned.
“Just.. somewhere…” and with that, she left. Momoko decided she better follow.
“Sorry everyone, shitsureshimasu.” She picked her tray up, put left-over is the bin and tried to walk as quickly as possible to catch up to Risako.
“Nani soree~?” Miyabi asked. “First that thing this morning, and now this. What’s going on.” Saki looked slightly pained, Yurina noticed.
“Do you know what’s going on Saki?” she shook her head.
“No, but I did think something was. I think it’s related to our last mission, when Momo was missing for a while. The man this morning told Risako not to do her own investigating.” Chinami jumped in.
“So, you’re saying that Momoko told Risako something that she didn’t tell us?” Saki nodded in response.
“I don’t know what, but if it was important enough to risk being caught and in trouble, it must be something significant.” To this Chinami gave one of her big smiles and said.
“Well, maybe we should do some investigating of our own?”
“Yeah, maybe we can help them and maybe try and hide what they’re doing, whilst secretly figuring it out ourselves.” Maasa suggested.
So with that they were all in agreement. Except, Miyabi did not seem thrilled about the idea, but it was unlikely she would take it into her own hands to stop it. It was probably the safest option, just to go along with it and see what happened.
*****
now the story's starting to get somewhere ^^
sorry it took so long to update, but the lack of comments left me feeling disheartened to keep writing.
but i have so many ideas buzzing round my head I had to continue lol.
-
Finally, I guess one reader was all I needed to make me get on with the next chapter after all this time xD
This chapter's a bit more linking and explaining a bit more about the girls' roles and such rather than moving the storyline im afraid - but it's necessary to do.
Also it's a tad short because i need to get back into the flow of writing with the characters and such
ENJOY!
Chapter 9
“Risako, matte!” Momoko shouted as she ran towards the slow walking Risako. Risako made no attempt to slow down, but knew Momoko would catch up easily.
“What happened this morning? I heard you with that man, what’s happening?”
There was silence and a blank stare from Risako. Momoko’s face went from confusion to sadness.
“Please, if we’re going to figure this out, we must work together!” she paused, “Please, what did you find out?”
“Nothing” she looked at Momoko, “They found me before I could find out anything of interest Momo.” Momoko stared at Risako. She had called her ‘Momo.’
“That’s fine, Momo is just glad you’re ok.” Risako then realised why Momoko said this in third person. She looked down at the floor.
“Hey why don’t we go the gym and train together,” she held Risako’s hands together with her own, “come on let’s quickly get changed and go down together.” To this Risako simply nodded, pulled her hands away and walked to her room, then Momoko did the same. Saki had been listening. The mention of the gym made her quite sad, though she could train in her own room she would never be allowed in the gym again. She figured it was about time for her to head down and begin studying on whatever her tutor wished her to.
Down the gym the girls began on the treadmill to get their bodies warm and ready to stretch before starting the training. As they did the other girls began to arrive and do the same thing, all except Saki of course. After the warm ups the girls went off to work on their own things, their strengths and weaknesses. Risako went off to a separate room to do training with weapons, how to manoeuvre and switch between distance shooting and close-range combat. Yurina, Miyabi Chinami liked to build up their stamina with aerobics, tai-chi and other similar methods. Momoko was training in karate as it helped improve her responses and her manoeuvrability and built up her strength. All this time Saki was training for an electronics exam she had the next day, she would have to pass this for the team to be able to advance in their missions. She would have to be able to instruct the girls whilst in the field how to alter or inspect any electronics on location. She would have to know instantly what to do as the girls lives may very well depend upon it. It was around midday when the girls were let go to have a break and lunch after training for 3 hours

next chapter shouldn't be too long away.

^agent life is tough like that, you gotta fight through the pain always.
ah it feels good to be writing again though.
(also are you from H!O?)
-
^lol just for you I'll answer the leg question straight away.
Chapter 10
“Aah so tired…” moaned Momoko as she rested her head on the table in the canteen. “I can’t even feel my arms or legs anymore.”
“What was it they gave you for your leg, Momo?” Maasa inquired.
“Huh? Oh right erm… it was blue and er…” Momoko paused for a second and everyone was holding their breath in anticipation. A few moments passed.
“Ah! They called it ‘tore payo’ I think.” Maasa sighed.
“I think you mean torpeo, Latin for numb. It’s obviously just a general pain killer, be careful with that you could cause more problems for it like that. I’m surprised they gave it to you without saying much.”
“They’re always not saying much though!” Miyabi said a little too loud, quickly realising her mistake she quickly placed her hand over her mouth with eyes wide open. She was praying to God that no one noticed, not that she truly understood the concept of ‘God’ as all such ideas were never spoken to the girls about. They were not supposed to have beliefs or opinions, just to complete their missions successfully. All seven girls were once again holding their breath, even Risako though it was hard to tell. Several moments passed and nothing happened, Miyabi let her breath go and the others followed, though Risako still seemed a little wary.
“Anyway Momo, do you want me to have a look at it anyway?” Maasa asked.
“Aah ii yo, I’ll go have a look myself, excuse me” with that Momoko quickly stood up and left, even leaving her tray behind.
“Excuse me,” Risako said softly, stood up and took hers and Momoko’s trays away and left.”
“Hmm this all seems quite interesting suddenly” Yurina said.
“I know, I know. This must all be related somehow.” Chinami said. They all paused for thought. Then to everyone’s surprise, Miyabi came up with a suggestion.
“I wonder if it’s related to the chip we brought in somehow?”
“Of course!” Chinami suddenly exclaimed, “It muse be! This causes for some investigation of our own.”
“But don’t forget what happened this morning with Risako, I’m sure they’ll be looking out for us even more after that” Saki explained, “Also, I’m not sure how it can be related to that chip, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with Momoko or Risako.”
“But what other explanation is there captain?” Chinami replied.
“Captain’s right we’re not sure what’s causing all this, maybe we should wait. We don’t want to cause more problems for those two.” Maasa said, then paused and continued. “However I do want to investigate because all this secrecy and orders, I want to know what I’m doing more. It’s just like what Miyabi said before they don’t tell us anything. Not even about…” Then she stopped speaking. No words were necessary. They all knew what, who, she was talking about. The missing member, the eight in their group. Maiha.
“Now that is a good reason to begin investigating Maasa, but…but we really must be discrete. We need to plan things out carefully and not just rush in. For now we do nothing, but plan. Think what we could, how we could go about this. If only there was a way we could talk about this in a more secret place.”
“What about during the next mission, I mean the pre-mission bits. We’re left alone enough to try and put our ideas together.” Yurina suggested.
“Hmm, I don’t like it but it will have to do. Ok girls, let’s go”
*****
anyway said it wouldn't be take too long.
enjoy
-
From what I read in all the chapters, they were probably all recruited pretty young into a covert group that's very controlling (no opinions or religious notation). The public assassination probably means that they're working for the wrong side of the law. And the tulip; unless she died, Maiha might have left it.
-
The only thing I could think when I read about the tulip was "Tuxedo Mask"
XD
Good job!

CHAPTER 11!!!!!!
Momoko carefully closed the door to her room, then sat down on her bed. She sat there for a few seconds then fell backwards lying on her bed facing the wall on the other side. Then rolling over to look towards the window, she then noticed something.
“Huh?” she spoke aloud. A petal had fallen from her tulip but where it used to be she could see something, something white. She stood up and walked over to the flower and carefully pulled it out, it was a piece of paper, folded. She unfolded in and inside was writing, hand written. Something felt familiar about it all, it read.
“I’m watching over you, things are not as they seem. You are not safe there!”
Momoko was alarmed. Who was this? Why were they telling her this? Is it the truth or maybe they’re the danger. She could not be sure so she decided to keep the paper but throw away the flower, ‘It was dying anyway’ she told herself.
“What was dying anyway?” at this Momoko turned around sharply, it was Risako.
“Risako, what are doing here?” she had not even realised she was speaking out loud before.
“What have you found, Momoko” Momoko…she had returned to using her full first name.
“Er, nothing the tulip’s dying that’s all.” Momoko tried her best to sound convincing.
“I see…” there was a pause between them.
“Anyway Risako you better move before they think you’re coming into my room” To this Risako nodded and left, Momoko sighed with relief.
As Risako shut the door and was walking towards her own room the rest of the girls turned up. It was clear Risako had come from Momoko’s door.
“Nee, Risako what were you doing.” Chinami asked.
“Nothing…” and she turned to her door and shut herself inside.
“Anyway I guess we better…get to work” Saki said and with that they all went into their separate rooms but all of them looked at the extra eighth door before going inside their own room. The door to the white room.
One by one the girls emerged ready for their next round of training. First they had to meet their ‘manager’ of sorts. He would inform them of any upcoming missions and whether they need to do any particular training. He was a man named Hisoka Nakayama, known simply as Nakayama-san to the girls. Saki addresses him first.
“Nakayama-san, konnichiwa” she says followed by a deep bow. The other girls follow this ‘konnichiwa’ and a bow.
“Konnichiwa my little spies, are you all ready for your next mission?”
“Hai” is all they say in reply, this was the usual question with the inevitable response. Momoko was thinking about the note, what would happen if they said no? Would they beat them, threaten them, kick them out or even kill them? She had never really thought about the reasoning behind what they did before, were they the bad guys? She suddenly realised that Nakayama was looking at her.
“Ha…hai?” she said, worried how long she had been spaced out thinking.
“I said is your leg ok, will you be able to participate fully in the next mission or would u like to be temporarily reassigned?” he asked her. She thought about the proposition but decided it was best to stick with the other girls. They were the closest each other had to a family.
“No it’s fine, I can do whatever is required from me for this mission to be a success.”
“Good, that’s what I like to hear.” It was always strange talking to Nakayama, his face was hard to read. He had dark short hair that always looked neat and usually dressed smartly in a black and white theme occasionally with a piece of grey. Today he was wearing a black with grey pinstripes suit, a white shirt and a grey tie with black lines, widening as they moved closer to the bottom. His shoes were black and perfectly spotless with a soft shine to them.
“So, your next mission.” He paused and watched his girls standing in silence, trying to hide their anticipation. At least this was how he viewed things.
“Is to retrieve another computer chip.”
“Is the chip related to the other chip?” Saki asked. There was a pause.
“I’m sorry Saki-chan but I cannot disclose that piece of information to you.” He replied. Saki took this as a sign that she should not ask any more questions.
“Head through to the briefing room for further instructions please.” ‘Please’, that was a word the girls did not hear very often. The girls bowed and walked past Nakayama into the briefing room. Saki made sure to keep her head down and not catch his eye in case he decided to have words with her and lead the girls through the door to the next room.

yes i know it's been ages sorry about that. Hoping to keep this up more!!
feedback appreciated.
