My procrastination problem has finally driven me to start writing XD. This is my first fanfic. The main focus will be on Berryz but other H!P groups will play important roles in the story. Sorry that this chapter doesn't really move the story along much :sweatdrop:. I doubt that this fic will be even close to interesting until maybe a couple chapters in so please bear with me. I'd love to get some constructive criticism so that my writing can improve with each chapter. :welcome I feel I have a lot to learn :lol:....
Chapter 1
Saki turned her head and slightly opened her eyes to glance at the clock that told her it was exactly two o ‘clock in the morning. She rolled over onto her stomach and hugged the pillow as her eyes tensed in an attempt to go back to sleep after soft noises had awoken her. She assumed the noises were just Chinami returning to the hotel room that they shared during Berryz concert tours. Saki made a mental note that, in the morning, she would lecture Chinami about staying up and out so late even if it was at another member’s room.
Just as Saki felt as if she was about to drift back to sleep, she heard noises again. They were louder than the first series that had awoken her and this time she could discern what the noises really were. Saki let out a slight groan before rolling out of the bed to shuffle towards the door.
“You know…. I almost feel like leaving you out here right now,” Saki said weakly with one hand on the doorknob and the other rubbing her eyes. She moved to allow space for the girl to walk in and continued rubbing her eyes lightly in an attempt to clear up her vision.
After a couple seconds of hesitation, the girl finally spoke. “I’m.. I’m sorry…go back to sleep Captain.” Saki stopped rubbing her eyes and looked up at the person that stood at the doorway. She realized that the person at the door was definitely not Chinami but, due to her senses being dull at the moment from just waking up, it took her several seconds before she realized what she had just said to them.
Saki, now fully awake from slight shock, hastily tried to make explanations to the girl standing at the doorway. “Oh Miya, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that to you. I thought Chii had forgot her room key again.”
“So does that mean I can come in?”
“Of course” as she made a sweeping gesteur directing Miyabi to come in.
Miyabi laid down on the room’s only bed and tried to make herself comfortable but obviously looked everywhere except at Saki. Saki realized that she was seeing the shy side of Miyabi that only appeared whenever she was extremely nervous. She decided she would attempt to get Miyabi to relax. After Saki had jumped onto her own side of the bed and turned over to lay flat on her back in a similar position as Miyabi, Saki smiled. “Ehh Miya, I’m surprised you didn’t make any comments about what I said to you when I opened the door. No ‘How mean Captain’? No teasing? No quips? Nothing?”
Miyabi chuckled at that and became visibly more relaxed. Nobody could make Miyabi laugh like Saki could. “That’s a lucky talent you have, Captain. You’re able to make people laugh even when you’re not funny.”
“Thank you” Saki said as sarcastically as she could.
Miyabi laughed once again. “I haven’t said anything because I slightly want you to actually go through with your threat of leaving her outside one night.”
Saki laughed. “How mean, Miya.”
“What? At least I said ‘slightly.’ She’s taking up half my bed right now and I’m kind of grumpy that I woke up with a foot in my face.” Miyabi placed her palm in front of her face to emphasize her explanation.
“Wait… How did her foot end up near your head anyways?” Saki asked curiously.
“It actually wasn’t her foot… It was Risako’s” Miyabi explained while shaking her head at the memory of her rude awakening. Saki put a hand over her mouth in an attempt to stifle her laughter.
“Hey! It’s not funny. They took up the bed in the room that I was supposed to stay in alone.”
“Alright, alright. How about you just sleep here tonight?” Saki offered while still laughing in between sentences.
“As long as I don’t find anything in, on, or around my face when I wake up” Miyabi said with a slight frown.
“I promise I won’t kick you in the face” Saki laughed a bit before a silence ensued. She turned her head and giggled at the sight of Miyabi. Miyabi had fallen completely asleep in the same position they had been when they were talking except she was facing Saki now. She’s so cute when she’s sleeping. Saki lifted her right hand to brush a couple strands of hair out of Miyabi’s face, but stopped in mid-air when she realized that her left hand was holding Miyabi’s right hand. How long have I been holding her hand?
Saki dropped her right hand and tried to carefully move her hand without waking Miyabi. As soon as their hands parted, Miyabi turned her body towards Saki. “…Cap…tain…”
Saki giggled and sighed softly. “Sometimes I wish you would call me Saki-chan, Saki-tan, or maybe even just Saki,” she whispered as she brushed a few strands of hair behind Miyabi’s ear.
“….Sa…ki…”
Upon hearing Miyabi say her name, Saki’s eyes widened before her face lightened and a gentle smile appeared. She imagined that she would have trouble getting back to sleep if her heart didn’t calm down soon. She glanced at the digital clock beside the bed to see that half an hour had passed since she was first awakened by the soft noises. Was it her knocking that woke me up the first time? That’s impossible…There’s no way that we were talking for more than ten or fifteen minutes and there was at least a ten minute time laspe in between the noises. She turned her body towards Miyabi and looked at her for a second. Was she standing at the door the whole time? The gentle smile reappeared on Saki’s face and she took hold of Miyabi’s hand once again. Saki lightly placed her forehead against Miyabi’s forehead and whispered “Let’s meet in our dreams, Miya”

I like to see MiyaSaki support :heart:. Decided to write this chapter while waiting to go out with friends. Sorry if it's confusing but then I kind of meant for it to be XD. I wonder if anybody can figure out what's going on. I just hope my writing style didn't make it more confusing. :lol:
Chapter 2
Saki opened her eyes and looked around her. She recognized that she was sitting on a hill near her home in Tokyo. It was somewhere she often went to relax whenever she had the chance. Questions started popping up in her head one by one as she stared off into the distance.
“Saki….Saaaakkiiiii…” Miyabi called. “Ahh…I think she died just now” she said jokingly as she started to wave her hand in front of Saki’s face.
Saki hadn’t even registered Miyabi’s presence until then. She grabbed Miyabi’s hand and lowered it. “Sorry Miya, just let me think for a bit”
Miyabi nodded and became silent. As Miyabi quietly observed the sunflower that stood alone in the field of flowers that surrounded the tree they were sitting under, Saki tried to figure out what was going on. The last thing she could remember was going back to sleep after letting Miyabi into the room. She could not remember anything that might have happened after that. It was now almost time for the sun to begin setting and they were somehow sitting in Tokyo. It didn’t make sense. No matter how stressed she may have been, it was impossible that she would have lost all of her memory about the day. It was impossible that she forgot about the concert they should have had that day and about getting on the train to return to Tokyo. She took another look around her and remembered that she had just silenced Miyabi. She decided she would try to figure things out later and deal with Miyabi first.
“Miya, shouldn’t you be getting home? It’s getting late. I’ll walk you to the train station.” Saki said.
“It’s alright, Saki. I want to stay for a bit longer” Miyabi turned her head to see Saki looking at her. Miyabi quickly lowered her head in an attempt to hide her reddened face.
Saki continued to look at Miyabi for a couple more seconds while she admired the girl’s features. She suddenly realized that she was still holding Miyabi’s hand and what Miyabi had just said. “Wait…did you just call me ‘Saki’?” she asked as hope started building in her.
Miyabi blushed harder. “Didn’t you say that you wanted me to?” she asked hesitantly.
“You heard me? I thought you were asleep.” This time it was Saki’s turn to blush.
“Umm, didn’t you say it just now? Are you okay? There’s no way I was sleeping while we were walking here from your house. I think the only person that can move that much in their sleep is Risako.”
Saki was even more confused now. She decided she would ask Miyabi what was going on even though she was slightly nervous that the girl would start worrying too much about her after she asked. Saki lightly squeezed Miyabi’s hand. “Miya, what’s going on? I don’t remember anything about today. The only time I remember telling you to call me by my name was when you were asleep on the bed in the hotel room.” She spoke slowly and tried to keep as much emotion out of her voice as possible. Unfortunately, Miyabi noticed that Saki’s eyes looked as if they were full of fear and confusion.
Miyabi had never seen Saki like this before. Even when she was stressed or nervous, Saki seemed to be able to calm herself after maybe a few exclamations.
“Please Miya, can you just tell me what we’ve been doing all day? What I have done today?” Saki asked pleadingly.
Miyabi started backtracking in her memories but could not remember anything other than the walk with Saki to the hill they were now sitting on. “What’s going on? Why don’t I remember anything about today either?” Miyabi asked as fear began to build up in her as well. Her head was beginning to feel clouded and the pressure was building as she continued trying to access her memories.
Saki began to feel the same pain in her head as well. They both tightened the grips on each other’s hand while their free hands were pressed at the temples of their heads. The pressure worsened to the point where they could no longer think about anything besides the pain. After several more seconds of unbearable pain, Saki and Miyabi collapsed simultaneously.
Both girls opened their eye wide and started breathing heavily as if they had just been through an extreme workout. They lay still on the bed in the hotel room and were dripping in cold sweat. They turned their heads to look questioningly into each other’s eyes. Miyabi was the first to speak. “What just happened?” she swallowed and took a deep breath.
“I don’t know” Saki replied. She glanced at the clock to see that it was only several minutes past four in the morning. So things seem to be back to normal. She then realized that they had both been shaking from shock since they had awakened. Well, good enough... at least my head doesn't feel like it's going to implode anymore.
“….Captain…” Miyabi called after a brief silence.
Saki took a deep breath to finish her recovery and turned back to face Miyabi. She pouted a bit when she realized what Miyabi had called her. Saki smiled and tightened her grip on Miyabi’s hand in an attempt to comfort both Miyabi and herself. It seems they hadn’t let go of each other since they had gone to sleep. “It’s alright. We were just…. dreaming”

oh...it was BK! :hehehe: :hehehe: :hehehe:

Awww~!!! :wub: They have the same dream! :inlove:

@abok Chii and Rii aren't that mean since they all fell asleep. At least Risako didn't kick Miya in the face on purpose XD
@kano-chan For some reason, I think my brain is constantly screaming "Kyaa~!" when I'm writing this fic.
@ayase There's not enough Berryz fanfics so I decided to just write one myself. Although I think I forgot to add a couple things in the first two chapters <-- not a very good writer + I get distracted easily by my own ideas :sweatdrop: I think you'll like the next chapter. Well, at least the end of it anyways. :lol:
@rndmnwierd :D We'll see what happens. I guess I should warn you that I like to mess with different pairings. :yep:

Chapter 3
“Dreaming?” Miyabi mumbled. She stared at the ceiling as she tried to make sense of what happened. Miyabi rarely remembered her dreams but this one was extremely vivid. It felt as though it had really happened. The pain had felt especially real. Her body began to tense at the memory of feeling like her head was splitting apart.
“Miya, you’re cutting off all blood circulation through my hand” Saki said as she stared at her hand that was starting to feel numb. Miyabi looked down and remembered that they were holding hands. She immediately released her Captain’s hand and gasped a bit. Saki’s hand looked red and was slowly returning to her naturally pale skin color as blood started flowing through her hand once again. Even so, Saki slightly regret that she had said anything. If she had endured a little bit longer, she may have been able to continue holding the younger girl’s hand. Miyabi started to apologize furiously but Saki just smiled at her while staying completely silent.
“Oi, why are you smiling? It means you forgive me right?” Miyabi asked as she stared curiously at Saki.
“Nothing.” Saki refused to let the girl know that she thought she was just too cute at that moment. “Maybe I forgive you, maybe not.” She laughed when she noticed Miyabi was giving her a slight glare for saying that. Saki always enjoyed spending time with Miyabi and it was fun to tease her sometimes. It felt comfortable to be around her, it was the same even in her dream. She then remembered that she still had to completely figure out what happened. Miyabi had heard her and they actually met in their dreams. At least she thought they did. They had awoken at the exact same moment after all. Even so, Saki decided to find out about Miyabi’s thoughts. She looked at the girl whose glare had become sharper in the time Saki had been deep in thought. Saki couldn’t help but laugh again. “Alright, alright. How about this? I’ll forgive you if you tell me about your dream.”
Miyabi’s glare subsided into a stare with her eyebrows raised. After a slight pause, she began to explain. “I rarely dream. Well, I rarely remember my dreams. But this time I remember every detail”
“Is that so? I forgot you’ve told me before that you don’t dream much. So what happened in your dream?” Saki asked.
“I walked with you down from your house to some hill and we just talked. It was really pretty but weird. The hill overlooked a field of flowers where there was a really tall sunflower in the middle of a sea of blue flowers. This place seemed kind of familiar but I don’t really remember being in a place like this before. Well, it was just a dream I guess.” Miyabi shrugged and continued to describe her dream. “After a while, you asked me about what happened that day and, when I tried to remember, my head started hurting until we woke up”
“So we actually met in our dreams,” Saki said.
“Isn’t that a bit impossible? Are you sure you’re not just still in shock from a nightmare, Captain?” Miyabi explained as she began to worry about Saki’s condition. She even started wondering if cutting off the blood circulation in Saki’s hand could mess with the blood flow in her head.
“No, I’m sure. Our dreams were exactly the same except for the walk to the hill but I think that would be because I fell asleep after you.”
After a bit of thought, Miyabi decided she would just trust her Captain. She was older and usually a lot calmer than Miyabi. “I guess I’ll just take your explanation about this since everything is a little too weird. I don’t have any better explanation anyways.”
Saki now had no doubts that they had the same dream. She was happy that her wish actually came true but was disappointed that Miyabi didn’t recognize the location the dream was set at. Saki decided she would give some information to Miyabi about the place in hopes that it would trigger some memories. “Miya…You really don’t recognize the place in your dream? We went there all the time when you still visited me.”
Miyabi was slightly afraid that attempting to consciously recall memories would make her feel that pain again. After a few seconds, her curiousity overpowered her fear and she tried to remember the place. “Ahh! That’s right. I remember now. We did go there a lot, didn’t we? We even planted that sunflower there together. We had a lot of good times there.”
Saki, for some reason, was now even more disappointed than when Miyabi had no recollection at all about the place. Even so, she forced a smile on her face and decided to continue dropping hints to Miyabi. “I’m glad you remember the sunflower. Do you remember anything important about the sunflower?”
As Miyabi’s eyes widened in realization, Saki thought Miyabi had finally remembered what she wanted her to. Miyabi exclaimed, “Oh crap…. nobody has been taking care of the sunflower since I haven’t visited you in so long. I’m really sorry. I’ve just been too busy lately.”
Saki felt as though somebody had just stabbed her in her heart. She thought that even the feeling that her head would implode felt better than what she was feeling at that moment. She doesn’t remember…
Saki forced a laugh and decided to change the subject. “It’s alright. I forgot about the sunflower for a while too. The one that we planted died but there seems to be new ones growing. I’m taking care of those now. And you have been busy with work, school and other things. Since I doubt either of us can go back to sleep, why don’t we just talk until we’re supposed to get ready.”
“You’re right. I don’t think I want to go back to sleep.”
“I’m surprised you were able to sleep before without your precious baby blankie” Saki teased.
“Hey! Don’t make me tell the other members about the time I found Maimi giving you a piggyback ride.” Miyabi retaliated. She realized Saki was right though. She could not imagine how it would have looked if somebody caught her walking around the hotel carrying it so she had left it behind. It was odd that she was able to fall asleep so easily even though she had left her little blanket in her own hotel room. She suddenly realized something else. She wondered why both Chinami and Risako sleeping in her bed when Saki was in here sleeping alone. Miyabi thought Chinami would want to take advantage of being assigned to room with Saki. She thought Chinami and Risako both liked her even though she had told them before that Saki likes Maimi. They were almost always around whenever she was with Saki even when she went to visit Saki. The only times they weren’t around were when they had work to do or when Saki and her went to the place from their dreams. The hill and flower field had been their personal haven and was the only place Saki and Miyabi could be truly alone together. I feel like I’m forgetting something important…
“Hey Miya…. are you alright?” Saki asked as she repeatedly poked Miyabi’s cheeks.
Miyabi pushed her thoughts aside as she rubbed her cheeks where she was poked. “I thought you promised that you wouldn’t do anything like that”
“No. I promised I wouldn’t kick you in the face.” Saki grinned.
“Ehhhh, so that’s how it is?” Miyabi laughed.
“I had to find some way to bring you back down to Earth. You just totally spaced out on me.”
“Sorry, just got lost in some thoughts. What were you saying?”
Saki sighed and smiled as she told Miyabi, “It’s alright. You don’t need to know what I would do to you if you ever told anybody that Maimi gave me a piggyback ride.”
“Ehhhhhhh. You’re scary, Captain”
“I can be so be careful now, Miya” Saki said jokingly. “So let’s start catching up. How are things between you and your little kappa?”
“Why is it that you want to start with that?” Miyabi laughed. “Things are fine except I think she’s slightly taller than me now. I really am sorry I haven’t visited you lately, Captain.”
“It’s okay. You’ve been busy. You’ve probably even had to struggle to find time to visit your girlfriend.” Saki said as she secretly regret bringing up Miyabi’s relationship. She quickly changed the subject. “So how’s school been lately?”
They continued conversing enjoyably until it was time to get ready. The few hours they had spent together were full of laughs and nostalgia. Even so, Saki could not help but think about the dream. She would have to ask somebody about sharing dreams. As Miyabi got up to return to her room, Saki decided that the first thing she would do when she returned to Tokyo was visit the sunflowers. Saki got up to walk Miyabi to the door. She opened the door and told Miyabi, “You should visit me sometime. We can go to the ‘Sea of Dreams’”
“So that’s what we’re going to call it now? Well I guess it’s better than calling it the field or the hill all the time.” Miyabi stepped out into the hotel hallway and was about to agree to visit when she heard somebody screaming her name from the elevator down the hall.
“Miya~~~!!” the girl called as she skipped down the hall and took Miyabi’s hand.
Miyabi shushed the girl and lightly pushed her head with her free hand while laughing softly. “Airin, you’re going to wake everybody in this hotel up. Aren’t kappas supposed to be poilite?”
“Gomenrinko~” the girl replied and kissed Miyabi on the cheek.
Miyabi smiled at the girl and then remembered that they were standing in front of Saki’s room. “I’ll see you in a bit, Captain. I should go kick Chii and Rii-chan out of my room now.”
“See you then” Saki replied as Miyabi took her leave with Airi. She couldn't help but watch them as they walked away hand in hand.
“You know Miya. I think I should teach you how to be more polite,” Airi said as she put her head on Miyabi’s shoulder.
“And I should teach you how to be funnier. Oh well. I guess it just makes you cuter, my little kappa” Miyabi said as she grinned.

oh....a love triangle with airin and captain eh? :hehehe: :hehehe: :hehehe:
-
So Saki and Miya shared a dream? kinda weird but a cool idea.
Miya and Saki seem to be really close, I wonder what the importance of the sunflowers are, it obviously means alot to Saki, who seemes to want more than to be freinds with Miya and it seems as though Miya never realized it :banghead:
I wonder what the story behind Miya and Airi being together is?
-
MiyaAiri? (http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd137/Rndmnwierd/assplode2.gif)

now that's interesting... :O

poor saki.... :cry:

@ayase Can I count that comment as an approval? XD
@oddball I promise that it gets weirder :) Well, I explained part of the sunflowers in this next chapter.
@rndmnwierd :lol: Sorry, I was brainwashed by the Take It Easy! Jacket Making of. I warned you that I like to mess with pairings.
@abok I like to make the girls work for each other. :D
I think I got kind of mad at myself after writing this chapter because of the pace of the story. Hopefully you guys forgive me for for the slow plot development. I'm getting a headache from looking for a book for one of my English papers. Can anybody recommend a literature book I can read and write about? Here's the next chapter. Nobody is going to kill me for this chapter right?
Chapter 4
Airi shifted to hug Miyabi around the waist as Miyabi opened the door to her room. The sight that they were met with when they got to the foot of the bed amused Miyabi. Chinami was sleeping at the edge of the bed with her back facing the wall and her arms around Risako. The younger girl had her legs slightly curled up and was snuggling into the older girl’s arms in an unconscious attempt to get comfortable.
“Wow, I’m surprised that Chii hasn’t fallen off the bed yet and I’m even more surprised that Rii-chan hasn’t accidentally pushed her off the bed. ” Miyabi said as she heard Airi giggle from behind her.
Risako started stirring at the sound of Miyabi’s voice. She slowly opened her eyes and realized she had been sleeping in somebody’s embrace. She raised her head to try to see who it was but ended up hitting Chinami’s chin on accident. The impact forced Chinami to release Risako and fall off the bed as she tried to turn onto her back.
Miyabi and Airi started to help Chinami up as Risako started to apoligize furiously to her and asked if she was okay. Chinami screamed “Itai!” a couple times as she rubbed her chin and back. After Risako apologized a few more times, Chinami started laughing. “Weren’t you sleeping next to Rii-chan, Miya? Why am I the one that got hit so early in the morning?”
“I already got kicked in the face last night” Miyabi gave Risako a short glare, which was met with the girl tilting her head in confusion. Miyabi started to explain. “I heard Risako fall off the bed last night. I was about to go back to sleep when I felt a foot against my face. Do you know how many times I washed my face after that? I’m surprised you were sleeping in a somewhat normal position on the bed and you looked so peaceful in Chinami’s arms when the two of us came in.”
Both Risako and Chinami blushed, but started laughing uncontrolablly when they imagined what Risako had done last night. “Sorry Miya. So that’s what I was pushing on when I was stretching a bit. I probably ended up sleeping the wrong way when I got back on. Sorry. Wait, did you say ‘the two of us’ just now?”
Airi put her chin on Miyabi’s shoulder as she continued to hug Miyabi’s waist from behind. She gave Risako a toothy smile and said, “Morning, Rii-chan. What happened to taking care of Miya for me? ”
“Airin! Why are you here?” Risako exclaimed in joy.
“I asked our manager if I could come observe you all rehearse for the Maji Bomber release event since it was nearby and they needed an hour or two to fix some equipment that malfunctioned during the photoshoot for a magazine. I got Maimi to come with me, too…Ah! I just realized I left Maimi behind in the elevator when I saw Miya.”
“I guess Captain won’t be alone for long then” Miyabi grinned. She felt a twinge of sadness at what she had just implied but shrugged it off as guilt for basically ignoring Saki after Airi had shown up.
“Wait, you said the two of you came in. Were you coming from Captain’s room?” Risako asked.
“Yeah, I went to sleep with her since you two forced me out of my bed.” Miyabi said. Risako and Chinami noticed Airi hug Miyabi closer after hearing that but Miyabi didn’t seem to notice.
“We’ll go back to our rooms now and leave you two alone. See you later.” Risako said as she pulled Chinami out of the room.
“It’s been a while since we were alone like this” Airi whispered once she heard the door click close.
Miyabi laughed. “The last time was at the Buono! Anniversary concert. It’s only been a couple days, Airin.”
“Yeah, but I’m going to be busy soon with C-ute rehearsals for our concert tour. We probably won’t be able to meet for a long time.” Airi pouted.
Miyabi released herself from Airi’s hug and turned to face her. “We’ll just have to make up for the time we’ll be apart then,” Miyabi said as she leaned in to kiss her girlfriend.
Risako closed the door to Miyabi’s room and started walking down the hall after releasing Chinami. After Risako had only taken a couple steps, Chinami went to pull her to a stop. “Are you alright? I know you like Miyabi.”
“I did like her, but I decided a long time ago that I would support her and Airi Besides… I like somebody else now.” Risako answered. Risako had given up Miyabi ever since Airi had told her that she liked Miyabi. She had done everything she could to try to get them together. Her most important task was keeping Saki busy so that Miyabi and Airi would have alone time. While doing this, Risako got closer and closer to her Captain until she couldn’t help but fall in love with her. Unfortunately, Risako had not realized that Saki loved Miyabi until she had seen her crying after watching Buono! perform at the first Winter Shuffle Date concert. It was then that Risako had sworn to heal the heart that she helped break.
“Is that so? Since you seem fine, I guess I’ll go back to my room. I hope Captain is okay. Everybody except Miya can tell that Captain loves her more than just a friend. I should have been the one sleeping beside Captain last night. Why did we have to fall asleep in Miya’s room? … By the way, why were you walking this way? Isn’t your room right next to Miya’s in the other direction?” Chinami pointed in the direction of Risako’s room.
“Is it a crime to visit our Captain?” Risako said as she started walking again in an attempt to hide her blushing.
“Fine, we can tell her how you woke me up this morning. She’ll have a good laugh at that and maybe she’ll help me think of a way to stop you from being so weird when you’re sleepy.” Chinami said only half-jokingly. She was still angry at herself and Risako for accidentally forcing Miyabi into sleeping with Saki. She was especially angry with Risako for dragging her away from the room that she shared with Saki even after both Saki and her had rejected Risako’s suggestion of hanging out in Miyabi’s room. Even so, her worry for their Captain was the primary emotion that filled her at that moment. Chinami’s admiration for her Captain was immense and, over time, had grown into love. She had been there with Risako when they found Saki crying. Similar to Risako, Chinami had sworn that she would do whatever it took to make Saki happy.
Once Risako and Chinami reached the room, they found that Saki had already left. Shortly after Miyabi and Airi had returned to Miyabi’s room, Maimi had gone up to Saki and asked her to take a walk with her. As they walked around the hotel lobby, Saki told Maimi about everything that had happened last night. “Is it normal for people to share dreams?” Maimi asked.
“Of course it’s not normal. That’s why I’m asking if you know anything about what happened to Miya and me.”
“Is it really that important?”
“I don’t know if it’s important but I can’t get it off my mind so I have to investigate.”
“…You havent moved on from Miyabi, have you?” Maimi asked as they made their way to the elevator.
“She’s not the reason why I want to investigate… and I had moved on.” Saki said as she pushed a button and waited for the elevator. “At least I thought I had until last night. I was even able to start growing new sunflowers at the Sea of Dreams. It’s too bad the one I planted with Miyabi died.”
To Saki, the sunflower she planted with Miyabi had been a symbol of their love. Unfortunately, that sunflower had died after being drowned in tears. It had drowned in Saki’s tears of anger, tears of sadness, and, most of all, tears of regret. In her mind, Saki laughed sadly at the irony of what she had named the place. A sunflower drowning from tears in the midst of a Sea of Dreams.
“And what about you and your love life?”
“What?” Maimi asked in confusion.
“Are you alright with Miyabi and her being together?”
“For some reason, I feel like running away everytime I see them together. I guess I’m just not used to seeing my friends date each other.” Maimi replied.
Saki knew that wasn’t really the case. Saki saw the way Maimi looked at Airi and noticed the little things that Maimi would do just to make Airi smile. Saki had always noticed how much Maimi loved Airi. Maimi was just too dense to realize it and it was too late now anyways.
“Well, I really have no idea about your dream. One of the senpai might know something. I can at least try talking to Takahashi-san about it since she was at the photoshoot and might still be there when I go back.” Maimi said as she checked her phone. “Our manager just sent me a text message telling me to get Airi and go back to the venue. Too bad we won’t be able to watch you all rehearse.”
“It’s fine and thanks, Maimi.” Saki responded as she stepped into the elevator that had finally arrived.
Soon, all the Berryz members gathered in the lobby and got on the bus that would take them to Yokohama BLITZ where the events would be held. The rehearsal and actual performances were perfect aside from a few minor mistakes. Throughout the day, Saki felt as if anytime she turned around she would be met with stares. Saki thought that Risako, Chinami, and, most importantly, Miyabi had all clung on to her today. It didn’t help that everytime she made eye contact with Miyabi she would start thinking about their dream again and end up staring back.
Everybody was on their way out to get back on the bus to return to the hotel but Saki, who was trailing behind the group, was pulled aside before she reached the exit. “Takahashi-san, it’s good to see you but I have to leave before I get in trouble.”
“Don’t worry about it. I already talked to your manager. She’ll take care of things. Maimi told me about what happened last night…We need to talk.” Ai said as a smile spread across her face.
-
“I guess Captain won’t be alone for long then” Miyabi grinned. She felt a twinge of sadness at what she had just implied but shrugged it off as guilt for basically ignoring Saki after Airi had shown up.
After Risako had only taken a couple steps, Chinami went to pull her to a stop. “Are you alright? I know you like Miyabi.”
“I did like her, but I decided a long time ago that I would support her and Airi Besides… I like somebody else now.”
Everybody except Miya can tell that Captain loves her more than just a friend.
I should have been the one sleeping beside Captain last night.
“Is it a crime to visit our Captain?” Risako said as she started walking again in an attempt to hide her blushing.
Maimi loved Airi.
OMG everybody loves everybody! :panic: :panic: It's like a love [Insert Shape With Many Sides That Is Actually Many Shapes Put Together]!!
But I like it...
“Don’t worry about it. I already talked to your manager. She’ll take care of things. Maimi told me about what happened last night…We need to talk.” Ai said as a smile spread across her face.
Ai-chan cameo! :heart: :heart: What does she know?
-
To Saki, the sunflower she planted with Miyabi had been a symbol of their love. Unfortunately, that sunflower had died after being drowned in tears. It had drowned in Saki’s tears of anger, tears of sadness, and, most of all, tears of regret. In her mind, Saki laughed sadly at the irony of what she had named the place. A sunflower drowning from tears in the midst of a Sea of Dreams.
poor saki........ :cry:
“For some reason, I feel like running away everytime I see them together. I guess I’m just not used to seeing my friends date each other.” Maimi replied.
Saki knew that wasn’t really the case. Saki saw the way Maimi looked at Airi and noticed the little things that Maimi would do just to make Airi smile. Saki had always noticed how much Maimi loved Airi. Maimi was just too dense to realize it and it was too late now anyways.
maimi always dense.... :P
maimi lost airi too..... :cry:
“Don’t worry about it. I already talked to your manager. She’ll take care of things. Maimi told me about what happened last night…We need to talk.” Ai said as a smile spread across her face.
ai-chan to the resque!!! :fap
Nobody is going to kill me for this chapter right?
nobody going to kill you.... :D
don't worry..... :thumbsup
it looks like this story is getting more interesting.... :O
Rii and Chii loves their Captain too..... :panic:
both of them had swore they gonna make Captain happy.... :wub:
i love this chapter.... :twothumbs
-
So Chii and Rii Both love Saki?!? I wonder how these two will play off against each other as the story goes on.
Airi got all defensive when she found out that Miya slept in Saki's room (When she hugged Miya tighter) does she think that perhaps Miya may like Saki more than her?
So Maimi likes Airi and Saki knows but then Maimi knows that Saki has never gotten over Miyabi.
The sea of dreams and this sunflower must be important, is the fact that they are sharing dreams with the sunflowers blooming telling them they should be together I wonder or is there something else they need to know?
I wonder if Miya has trully forgotten about the importance of the place in the dream or is she just unwilling to talk about it with Saki?
What does Ai-chan want to talk about, I wonder what she knows...
Questions,questions.....

[Insert Shape With Many Sides That Is Actually Many Shapes Put Together]!!
@rndmnwierd That would just be some messed up blob. XD I promise that the romance won't get more complicated... :banghead: We'll see what happens. :D
@abok I think writing about the sunflower made me feel a bit sadistic. I'm hoping you think this chapter is interesting :yep:
@oddball :thumbsup I like questions. They keep me focused and actually make me remember my ideas. Let's see if you can find the answers to some of your questions in this chapter.
:sweatdrop: I hope this chapter is actually interesting and doesn't just make your brain want to explode. I finally did some explaining although it probably won't explain what happened specifically until the next chapter.
Chapter 5
Saki thought something was different about her senpai tonight. Tonight, Ai’s smile could have been called charming. There was a calming and irresistable aura that Ai seemed to radiate tonight. There was a sense of knowing in Ai’s eyes. Maybe even a hint of pride. Had Saki done anything that would make Ai proud of her? She couldn’t remember doing anything significantly different lately. She was eager to find out what secrets Ai held. Saki decided she would go along with the girl for now, but was still wary since she was basically being abducted.
Ai led her to a taxi that was waiting just outside of an alternative exit. As the taxi began to move, Saki began to wonder when Ai would start actually explaining everything. “Should I even ask where you’re taking me?” Saki asked.
“It’s best if you don’t ask any questions for the time being. Actually, it’s best if you don’t talk at all for now. When the time comes, I’ll explain about this and so much more.” Ai replied.
As Ai began smiling once again, Saki became silent. That smile was actually starting to scare Saki a bit. The car rounded a corner and Saki realized where they were when they pulled to a stop in front of a building. Would Ai go through all this trouble just to take Saki back to the hotel? She had already been heading there when Ai had stopped her from getting to the bus.
Ai got out of the car and gestured for Saki to follow her. Saki slid out of the taxi and they started walking towards the hotel. Saki had just begun thinking that this was getting ridiculous when Ai veered away from the entrance of the hotel. Saki followed Ai closely through a dimly lit alleyway and into a back door of the hotel. Saki wondered if this was all really necessary. She wasn’t accidentally getting involved in some illegal transactions, was she?
They walked through the hotel kitchen where everybody seemed busy preparing for a banquet that evening. Saki and Ai were stopped once but were escorted to an employee elevator by one of the chefs that had recognized them. Ai led Saki to a room on the third floor and opened the door with a room key she pulled out from her jacket pocket. Ai took a seat on the bed and patted the spot next to her to tell Saki to sit beside her. Saki opened her mouth to ask for an explanation but Ai started talking before she could get her question out. “Yes, I’ll explain everything soon. But first, I need you to do something and you need to trust me.”
Saki nodded slowly.
“Just to let you know, this room is located right below your room. I’ve asked your manager to let me take care of you tonight and to make sure that all Berryz members gather in your room and sleep there until I call her. Why? Because what we’re going to do tonight requires them nearby and this is the closest we will be able to get to them without them getting freaked out. Don’t worry though. The reason I’m here is to be your guide for the night. I totally feel like a badass senpai right now.” Ai laughed before scratching her head as she thought about what to do next.
“Hmm, I guess we shouldn’t start with Miyabi-chan. Her subconscious is probably still on high alert from what happened last night. Maybe Momoko-chan would be an easier target. We’ll start with her then. Alright, lay down so you won’t hurt yourself while we’re doing this.” Ai said while Saki blinked in confusion but did as she was told.
“Listen very carefully and don’t do anything until I tell you to. Close your eyes and try to clear everything from your mind. Relax and take deep breaths. You need to literally think of nothing. It might feel strange but you have to keep at it. Once you’ve done that, you need to visualize the target. In this case, you have to visualize Tsugunaga Momoko. Even while visualizing your target, you have to keep your mind blank. Only focus on the image of the target and nothing else. It takes a lot of practice to perfect this skill so it might take you a while. That is all that I will tell you for now. I promise I’ll be with you for the duration of our task. Let’s begin. Be careful not to let your mind wander.”
Saki had so many questions running through her head at that point that she thought it would be hard to clear her mind but she knew she had to if she wanted to know what was going on. She closed her eyes and started to take deep breaths. She visualized a pure white world, a blank world. She was beginning to feel light-headed when she remembered the second part of her task. Saki started visualizing Momoko. She started to imagine her from the head down. She focused on the image of Momoko standing in the middle of nothing.
Ai stared at the ceiling while making random faces in boredom as she waited for her turn to perform the task. After several minutes she turned to see Saki had fallen asleep. She smiled and laid down to begin clearing her own mind.
Saki looked around her and her jaw dropped at seeing her standing at the gates of an extravagant castle. There was a couple hundred meters of a lush field of grass surrounding the castle but beyond the grass was blank. Saki began walking through the field and stopped right at the border between the grass and the pure white of nothingness. She looked forward and, beyond several hundred meters of nothingness, there was a stage. She recognized it as the stage that they had performed on at Saitama Super Arena in 2007. She wanted to go there and check it out. She was about to take a step into the white area when Ai appeared before her side and grabbed her wrist.
“Didn’t I tell you not to let your mind wander?” Ai sighed in relief of stopping the girl in time.
“What’s going on? Where are we?” Saki asked as she looked from the stage to the castle.
“This would be Tsugunaga Momoko’s dream and you would have fallen into one of the blank spots of her mind right now if I hadn’t stopped you. There’s a lot you need to know so it’s better if you don’t ask too many questions until I’m done talking. Alright?”
Saki thought for a second before nodding in agreement.
“Good, now where should I start? Well, first off, you didn’t share a dream with Natsuyaki-chan yesterday. You actually entered her dream. I always thought that I was the only person in Hello!Project that currently has the power to do something like this. I’m impressed at the fact that you triggered the power yourself.” Ai explained as the glint of pride returned in her eyes.
“This power is something that has been handed down among Morning Musume leaders ever since the 4th generation was introduced. I didn’t know you had it too until Maimi told me about last night. I asked Tsunku-san and he confirmed that he had bestowed the power on both you and Maimi. The leaders often used it to figure out the characteristics of the new members and find ways to maintain the mental health of members.”
“So they would change the dreams of the members?” Saki was appalled at the thought of messing with another person’s mind.
“No, they would try to find either sources of turmoil or ways to appease the member. We do not have the power to manipulate any physical aspects of the dream. Only the dreamer can do that. For example, this whole realm of dreams is Momoko-chan’s so only she has the power to change the landscape. The only thing we can do is navigate through the dreams. Hence the reason the power bestowed upon Hello!Project leaders is called Navigation. We can only interact with others in the dream by consciously taking up our roles in her dreams or else we wander as observing outsiders. But if we ever do anything that the dreamer’s subconscious finds threathening, the subconscious will act as a guardian and attempt to knock you out of the dream. I’m sure that’s the reason you two woke up in such a panic yesterday.” Ai said as she took a seat at the edge of castle landscape with her legs dangling in the whiteness. She decided to pause for a bit to allow Saki to take in everything.
Saki’s head was reeling from the mass of information that had just been introduced to her. She took a seat beside Ai and stared down into the endless whiteness below their feet. “So if we’re in Momo’s dream right now, what is that over there?” Saki asked as she looked up and pointed at the stage the lay beyond the whiteness.
“Since I doubt that would be a surpressed or repressed memory, that’s probably just a precious or recent memory. We ended up here at the castle because this is her dream at the moment, there should be some memories around. You just have to take a bit of a walk through Momoko-chan’s mind to find them. Unless Momoko-chan changes the location of her dream, you have to forge your own path so that you won’t fall into the blank spots of her mind. Be careful though, I don’t know what would happen if you actually fell.” Ai looked intently at Saki as she warned her. She didn’t want to imagine what would have happen to her kouhai if she hadn’t grabbed her wrist earlier.
“I think it’s time we left. I don't want to know what Momoko-chan's dream would be after she finishes playing in the castle. Just close your eyes and try to visualize where you are in the real world. I’ll leave here after you wake up”
Once Saki and Ai had left the dream, a figure walked into the spotlight at the center of the stage. The figure stood in the spotlight as they watched the pieces of the stage dream crumble around them and fall to the depths of Momoko’s mind. In a voice lacking emotion, the figure spoke. "A new Navigator has appeared..."
-
Tsunku gave the leaders this power? How? And who is that mysterious creepy person!?
And just what is Momo dreaming about?
-
OMG I really need to check out new stories more often!! :banghead:
So I had a lot of things to say... but this new chapter just changed a lot. :lol: Still, I'll try to start from the beginning. So... yeah! Another Berryz writer!! :D We need to stick together as a rare breed. :heart: And not just that... but MiyaSaki too!!! :cow: And it's all written quite well!! Anyway, I mean, sure MiyaSaki aren't actually together at the moment, but the first few chapters was undeniable MiyaSaki fluff. :lol: Speaking of them not being together... before we get into the stuff from the newer chapter...
Let me see if I can get this straight:
1. Chinami and Risako love Captain, but they're beautiful people and are willing to just make Saki happy by trying to get her back with Miya somehow. :heart: Y'know it'd be perfect if they ended up together as well? :lol: Oh, and Risako used to like Miya too...
2. Miyabi and Airi are girlfriends, though Miya obviously harbors love deep inside for Saki (more on this later), and Airi seems to realize it at least a bit.
3. Maimi loves Airi, but everyone thinks Saki and Maimi are kinda together. Leader :heart:
I think that's it? :lol: That chapter where all that was presented was a bit confusing. XD And now.. the new chapter! Which was like :shocked... Although... I knew you had to be going somewhere with it all. After chapter one I was all ready to say "Well, you write well and it's a nice sweet MiyaSaki romance, but... there really isn't much behind it..." But then I saw some of your following comments, and the next chapters, and I realized no, you really are that great, because the depth is there too... and more depth than I would even have imagined! :lol: I kind of wonder how the whole dream power plot will flow and connect with the romance though (which you had set up very well). If you connect them well too... it could be so awesome! :love:
Anyway, I said I would come back to something a bit ago, didn't I? Miya and the love she still had for Saki... Something you didn't lay out clearly yet, but when Ai told Saki that she had visited Miya's dream... So Miya was dreaming about being at Saki's house and walking to their private place... :heart: Mhm, definitely :heart: there. :) I just hope the others don't get hurt!!! Though I suppose you've set that up well also since Airi can go to Maimi :lol: And I've talked about the others...
*ahem* I've probably written too much here... But I'm just so happy to see a fic like this. :cry:
Who's the mysterious figure at the end? Tsunku? Or some evil force that'll affect things later on!? :shocked
Please keep writing. :D
@rndm: I would guess Momo's dreaming about being a princess, of course. :lol:
-
So, Saki, Maimi and Ai-chan have the powers to go inside people's dream??? :O
this is shocking!!! :shocked
i wonder if Maimi know she have that power.... :doh:
tsunku give them that power...
i wonder what kind of power tsunku have.... :doh:
i cant wait for the next chapter... :thumbsup
this fic is getting more and more interesting..... :twothumbs
and who is that creepy person??? :panic:
great chapter, i love it!!! :heart:
-
Yay! Miyairi! I actually love this couple because they're so cute, but I can't seem to find love in it. :roll: (not about the story)
I wonder how Tsunku gave them this dreaming power. :huhuh
lol....and when I read the part about the castle in Momo's dream, I was like of course... :lol: ooohh..someone creepy appeared... :O
This is getting more interesting! :thumbsup
-
yeah....i guess i approved! :on GJ: :on GJ: :on GJ:
more miya-airi before u ended up Miya with Captain... :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:
I can't imagine Rii with Captain though.....maybe with Momo since the two are close! :whistle:
-
Tsunku has given these powers to the leaders of H!P how can he possibly do that, Is he like the first navigator or something? and who was the creepy man at the end 'a new navigator has appeared?' it was kinda freaky!!! is that Momo's concience or something in a 'human' form?
So if Saki entered Miya's dream that meant that Miya was the one dreaming about being at the sunflowers with Saki so Miya does remember what the sunflowers meant then?
I wonder if Maimi has this power yet or if it was dormant like Saki's was?
-
@rndmnwierd Yup, rokun was right about Momo's dream. I think I was like this :doh: when I read your question about Tsunku.
@rokun Didn't expect you to comment on my fic. :D Would you have still commented if I hadn't put up the :shocked chapter? XD You pretty much got the chapter where I introduced all the crazy love. :yep: Sorry about making it confusing, I knew it would be but I couldn't think of another place to stick all that in where it wouldn't be awkward :banghead: and I was playing with my dog while writing that part :P. By the way, didn't I say in my first post that it would take a couple chapters before anything remotely interesting popped up? :sweatdrop: I love long comments :heart:. Because of you, I feel like throwing in some more twists to the romance part. :doh:
@abok Has your brain exploded yet? XD Oh well, you found it interesting so it doesn't matter even if it did, right? :D
@kano-chan I feel that I must somehow make you find love in the pairing. :yep:
@ayase We'll see who Captain and Miya end up with. I'm pretty sadistic and a bit of a masochist when it comes to pairings. I'll tell you something though. Originally, I had planned for Miya to be with Rii in the beginning but then I was brainwashed by Berryz DVD Magazine Vol. 16 where Captain was Rii's girlfriend. That was just :wub: :heart:
@oddball Can I just make him godly or something? My laziness is really tempted to do just that. Uhhhhh... Miya....Well, I hope this chapter answers your questions. By the way, that's scary... "something in a 'human' form" :lol: That reminds me of Berry Beautiful. Which also reminds me, that I want to see an update soon for that. :yep:
So this might or might not be the last update for a while because I have to go through my stupidly self-inflicted annual week of hell before my school year starts. Procrastination = 2 novels to read and write about in 5 days. :banghead: What have I been doing all summer?... Anyways, I really was tempted to just make Tsunku godly because I totally forgot how he actually gave him the powers. But I think I might piss readers and myself off if I did that so I made something up today. Sorry if there are any holes in the story. I don't usually proofread. :sweatdrop: This is why I like questions. As for the mysterious figure at the end of the last chapter, I'll leave that to be explained in another chapter but I will tell you guys something. The figure isn't from Berryz Koubou. I doubt I left enough information so far for anybody to figure out who and/or what the figure is. I tried to make sure that it wouldn't easily be discovered unless you are super crazy at analyzing and predicting while you're reading. Alright, I'm done ranting. Here's the next chapter.
Chapter 6
Ai awoke to find Saki staring at the ceiling. “Are you alright? I know this can all be overwhelming. I’m impressed you’ve been so calm.” Ai asked.
“You’re wrong.” Saki responded politely. “I’m just a little better at controlling myself than other people.”
Ai realized the girl was shaking a bit as she sat up. “I’m still impressed though. When I found out about all this, I freaked out and started babbling on and on about how it was impossible. The only reason I finally decided to calm down was because Mikitty, or Fujimoto-san, gave me a vehement glare everytime I interuppted her explanation.” Ai scratched her head while recollecting about her first time Navigating.
“To tell the truth, even I don’t know the full extent of our power. Mikitty’s departure from Morning Musume was pretty sudden so she didn’t get to really teach me anything besides the basics of Navigating. Even so, I’ll try to answer all of your questions now. I realize I haven’t really helped explain exactly what happened in your case. So, what do you want to start with?” Ai smiled and waited for the first question.
Saki thought about it for a few moments before she decided she would just start at the beginning and work her way down to details about last night. “You said that Tsunku-san ‘bestowed’ this power on us… “
“Now that I think about it, ‘bestowed’ might not have been the best word to use. I guess the word ‘unlock’ would be more fitting.”
“So you mean that we already had this power within us? Does everybody?”
Ai spoke slowly so that Saki would be able to comprehend everything more easily. “In a way, yes. Everybody has the power of Navigation deep within them but it is locked away. The average human cannot access the power though, which is why Tsunku-san had to unlock it for us. Since we’re not conscious when he does this, I’ll give you information about it based on what he has told me. Tsunku-san truly is a weird character. He’ll get obssessed with anything he finds interesting. Something that caught his interest was a book describing the power of Navigation. After some researching and studying about Navigation from about a hundred other books, he learned how to unlock it. The key to unlocking the power was hypnosis. He started learning hypnosis since the introduction of the 2nd generation of Morning Musume, but it wasn’t until the 4th generation that his skill was advanced enough to unlock the power for Nakazawa-san. He unlocked mine after he called me into the office to pronounce me as the next leader of Morning Musume and he told me he unlocked the power for the rest of you during the recording of High-King’s ‘Destiny Love.’ You probably don’t remember because you had to be unconscious when he unlocked it. He most likely just asked you to relax to improve your singing ability and then hypnotized you.”
“Why didn’t he just unlock the power for himself? Why us?”
“He thought it’d be kind of creepy if a middle-aged man went into the dreams of young girls. I know I’d be scarred if I ever found Tsunku-san invading my dreams. So he gave the power to the ones that he thought would be able to handle it, the leaders. We, as leaders of our groups, have the responsibility to use this power wisely and for the sake of our members. Although, he told me that he hadn’t planned on unlocking the power for the rest of you until the Elder Club graduated. He was probably afraid that your groups would feel more pressured after the graduation of a mass of senpai.”
"So that explains how and why we have this power… but how exactly does this power work?”
“The answer to that question was something I actually had to look up by myself because I started to space out when Tsunku-san started talking about all the book he had read about Navigation. What Tsunku-san unlocked was basically the power for our conscious mind to override our unconscious mind. The power allows us to actually recognize that we are in a dream and travel freely around the dreamer’s world by syncing our brain waves with the dreamer’s. The dreamer’s unconscious mind creates the realm while the subconscious controls the actual dream. Since you weren’t aware of Navigation yet, I’m going to assume that you probably accidentally entered Miyabi-chan’s dream by wishing to meet in your dreams. Miyabi-chan’s subconscious felt threatened somehow last night and decided to wake her up before anything happened. That’s why there was a violent physical reaction while you were awakening. It’s as if she had just awaken from a horrible nightmare and you experienced the same thing because your brain waves are synced until you wake up.”
“Wait…Miyabi felt threathened by me? Why? All I did was ask her to recall what happened that day.” Saki asked. She wasn't even thinking about how supernatural everything about Navigation was, all she cared about was what it could tell her about Miyabi's dream. She was saddened that Miyabi’s subconscious had found her a threat.
“I don’t know if you’ll like the answer to that question since this dream seems precious to you.”
“…I want to know” Saki said insistently. “… I need to know” she said, this time a little softer.
“She didn’t remember the place when she woke up until you told her about it, right?” Ai stared at the wall as she sat up.
Saki shook her head.
Although she didn't see Saki shake her head, Ai took the silence as an answer. Ai looked at Saki and started hesitantly. “She didn’t feel threatened by you exactly but threatened at the possibility of remembering something. Although she seems okay with remembering the place itself, something must have happened there that she doesn’t want to remember… A memory that has been surpressed to the point where it began to be repressed.”
Ai noticed that Saki was now struggling to hold back her tears and decided that it was best to wrap things up for the night.
“There are a couple last things I need to tell you. First off, Maimi still hasn’t triggered her power so don’t tell her anything about it. Secondly, I’m not sure how far your range for Navigating is. It takes practice to increase the distance you can be from the dreamer while Navigating, which is why I made sure that all the dreamers we would possibly need were nearby tonight. Also, you can’t navigate through your own dreams. At least I haven’t been able to, but I’ve already told you that I don’t know everything about Navigation. Most importantly, be careful what you do in dreams. I have never actually interacted with a dreamer before because I’m afraid of the effects it could possibly have on the person… I think that’s enough for tonight. The rest of the members of your group will be allowed to return to their rooms shortly. You can contact me anytime you have questions. Although, I’m pretty sure you’ll figure out things on your own and surpass me in no time. Get some rest and don’t think too much tonight”
Once Ai had left the room, Saki felt her tears flow down her cheeks. She sat in the center of the bed and hugged her knees. Ai’s words about Miyabi’s dream repeatedly ran through her head. Why?… Why would Miya want to forget our first kiss?
After several minutes of crying, Saki calmed herself down enough to leave the room and direct herself to the elevator. She was about to open the door to her room when she turned and started walking down the hall. I need to know…
-
Oh dang! Their first kiss?? :shocked:
The reason why Miya wants to forget is probably because she already have Airi? :huhuh
I think I like MiyaSaki, but I really want MiyAiri because I've never read a fanfic with a MiyAiri couple. :wub: :roll: It's always MiyaSaki or MiyaRii. :huhuh
And yes, make me find love in this pairing! :inlove:
-
XD! Tsunku invading the girls' dreams!!! It's good that he decided not to do that, because I'm afraid it would have ended up something like this:
(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/iluvatarin/tsunku_flower.jpg)
XD
Anyway, being more serious... lol. We learn many more things in this chapter! That moment Saki was so concerned about on that hill was when she and Miya kissed! (flashback pls btw ^^) And Miya is repressing it... That's sad. :( Then again... What exactly happened between them? Why aren't they together? If Miya thought Saki rejected her, or was interested in someone else instead... that could definitely be reason for repression. Or it could be for Airi's sake like what kano-chan said. ^_^ Which that would be nice of her. You seem to make all the Berryz girls very nice in fact. XD
I'm glad we got some explanation here, but glad you got back to the romance at the end... Don't wanna get too bogged down in explanation detail. :thumbsup
More crazy pairings is good for me! :lol: Did I say before that you remind me of myself in that way? lol. I tend to throw girls together all sorts of ways.. though I don't mean to since I do have my set favorites too ;_; Then again.. that might be a more recent thing too. :lol: Oh, and speaking of crazy pairings, if you made a bit of SakiAi you might even be able to reel Estrea in here. XD Although... the way you did Ai was interesting. Do you follow MM as much as you do Berryz?
-
So Tsunku learned this power aswell hm if anyone can do it I wonder if there are any 'secrect' navigators perhaps that man in the previous chapter was partof some kind of navigator police force?
So Maimi dosn't know she has the power yet, I wonder is she will unlock it in a dream with Airi?
Hmm so Ai never interacted with a persn but Saki did with Miya in her fist navigator dream? I wonder if this will have any effects on Miya. I alo wonder why she wants to forget her first kiss with Saki, has Saki hurt Miya in the past somehow but she dosn't remeber when or why, does Miya just think that Saki dosn't like her or was there something else that happened?

What? Did I miss this? Apparently I did, cuz I haven't commented. :sweatdrop:
So we get a little more in depth explanation of Navigation, in flighty Ai-chan style, and then a good luck?
But, noes! Why does Miya wanna ruin the MiyaSaki vibe? :(

@kano-chan I love all those pairings so let's see what my brain decides. It will probably depend on how I feel the day that I'm writing. XD
@rokun Screw the flashback. XD The title of this fic is Dreams. That picture of Tsunku... :bleed eyes: Still stuck in my head. Get it out. :cry: :banghead:
I might or might not be able to lure Estrea in here one day. We'll see what happens when MM actually starts playing bigger roles in the story.
@ayase Was that "hidoi na" directed at me getting rid of MiyaRii? XD I like Fujimoto too. We'll see how much she shows up in this fic. I'm not even sure myself. :lol: Btw, RiiSaki :heart:
@abok Don't you just love how Maimi seems totally clueless sometimes? I mean in real life. XD Her airheadedness makes me love her.
@rnd Because I'm sadistic when it comes to my favorites? XD
This chapter is the longest chapter I've written so far. Partly because I'm not doing daily updates anymore due to school but mostly because I needed to get all this out of my brain. It was taking up space in there and I tend to change things too much unless it's already posted. Let's see... *rereads rant* blah blah blah... Alright, just to make sure you guys know. The italicized sentences are always Saki's thoughts in this chapter. Sorry about the first and last part of this chapter. The first part moves a little slow and my brain started to die a little near the end of writing this chapter. I wonder if anybody can figure out who the hell that is at the end of this chapter. Alright that's enough ranting for now, here's the next chapter.
Chapter 7
Momoko and Risako were asleep on the bed while the rest of the members, excluding Saki, were sitting around a table that was next to the window. Yurina and Maasa were sitting next to each other and listening to Maasa’s mp3 player while chatting quietly with each other. Chinami was looking out the window and scanning the streets for Saki every couple minutes. Miyabi had been staring out the window with a smile on her face that had remained the whole time they had been confined in Saki’s room. Chinami sighed in disappointment and turned her head. She noticed Miyabi and wondered why she was smiling.
“Hey, what’s with the stupid smile?” Chinami asked.
“What do you think Captain will bring with her when she gets back? I bet she went to go pick up a cake or a birthday present for me. She sure is taking a long time though.” Miyabi thought for a moment before shrugging and continuing to stare out the window.
Chinami became even more worried about Saki’s disappearance after remembering that Miyabi’s birthday was coming up in a couple of days. Satsuki-san, Saki’s manager, had told them that Ai had taken Saki and that they should all wait for her return here but had not told them any specific details. Chinami was worried that Miyabi might be right about what Saki was doing at the moment. What if she really was getting a cake or a present for Miyabi? Chinami thought that she should be with her if Saki happened to become saddened from thinking about Miyabi too much. She decided that she would ask Satsuki-san to at least tell her something about Saki’s whereabouts if she wasn’t allowed to go to Saki. She got up and started walking towards Satsuki-san, but stopped when she saw Satsuki-san check her phone. Satsuki-san got up from the chair she had placed at the entrance of the room. She carried the chair past Chinami and placed it next to the window. Maasa and Yurina removed their earphones when they saw Satsuki-san’s movement. Miyabi turned her attention from the window to Satsuki-san.
“It seems Takahashi-san and Shimizu-san are stuck in a bit of traffic so they have told me to relay their message to you. Shimizu-san says that you guys should probably just return to your rooms and shouldn’t wait up for her” Satsuki explained.
“But what about the surprise that you said Captain had for us?” Miyabi asked as her smile turned into a frown. The rest of the conscious girls looked at Miyabi for a second before staring questioningly at Satsuki.
“What surprise? I simply told you that Shimizu-san was in the company of Takahashi-san this evening. You were the ones that insisted on staying in here.”
“Then why were you preventing us from leaving by sitting at the door?” Maasa asked, trying to point out the obviousness of Satsuki-san’s lie.
“Just because I’m Shimizu-san’s manager doesn’t mean that I don’t care for the rest of you. I wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen to this group of pretty, young girls. Now wake the two on the bed and return to your rooms for the night.” Satsuki said as she exited the room.
Maasa was about to go after Satsuki-san to question her more, but Yurina pulled her back down to her chair and shook her head. Miyabi got up from her seat and walked towards the door.
“I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m going back to my room and nobody better disturb me for the remainder of the night.” Miyabi said and gave Chinami a warning glance before walking out the door.
“I guess we’ll go back to our room, too. Nee, Maasa?” Yurina said as she rose.
“I guess so. Let’s just go get some sleep.” Maasa said as she stood up and started walking with Yurina towards the door.
“WAIT! What am I supposed to do about these two?” Chinami asked as she pointed at the sleeping Risako and Momoko.
“Have fun dealing with them. Oyasumi.” Maasa called before Yurina closed the door.
Chinami scrunched up her face a bit and pouted as she turned to look at the two sleeping on the bed. She jumped on the bed, causing Momoko to awaken.
“You can go back to your room now, Momo.” Chinami said.
“Thanks a lot, Toku-san… I was having the best dream about Momo-hime just now.” Momoko grumbled before pouting.
“Great, then go back to your room and continue dreaming about being a princess”
Momoko shuffled her way out the room and back to her room. Chinami had only one more to deal with. She jumped up and down on the bed several more times before kneeling on the bed. Risako seemed sound asleep. Her breathing was slow and even her mouth was left slightly open.
“Rii-chan, I know you’re a heavy sleeper and all but this is just ridiculous. I know you’re awake so just sit up.” Chinami said as she stared at the girl.
A minute passed before Chinami’s intense stare became unbearable to Risako. Risako opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. “How did you know I was awake?”
“I saw you open your eyes when I jumped on the bed the first time. “Chinami asked curiously.
“I thought Momo would drag me out with her if I had woken up at the same time as her. I want to wait for Captain.” Risako explained.
“It’s fine. I’ll wait up for Captain. This is my room too anyways.”
“I’m not leaving.” Risako pouted.
Chinami thought about it for a second. Would she never get to have Saki for herself? She sighed and gave in. “Whatever. I’m tired so let’s just go to sleep. We’ll hear if Captain comes back or else we’ll wake up and call her if she’s not back in a couple hours.”
Risako nodded and almost immediately fell asleep. Chinami laughed at how fast Risako fell asleep and lay down next to the girl. “I hope you’re safe, Captain.” she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep as well.
A disappointed Miyabi was opening the door as she thought about Saki forgetting her birthday. She entered the room and tried to flip a light switch without realizing the lights were already on. She jumped at the sight of a person sitting in the middle of her bed. Miyabi calmed down when she realized it was only Saki. “I thought you were with Takahashi-san. Why are you here? Wait… How did you get in my room?” Miyabi questioned.
“I’m captain. I have access to the rooms of all the members.” Saki grinned. In one breathe, Saki explained, “And before you ask more questions, I don’t really want to deal with giving any explanations about what I’ve been doing tonight. So please don’t ask. I want to sleep in here tonight. You’ll let me right? After all, you owe me for waking me up yesterday.”
Miyabi stood at the foot of the bed, processing what Saki had just said. She took a closer look at Saki and realized that her eyes were red. Miyabi wanted to know why Saki had been crying. She wanted to find out who had made Saki cry and hunt them down for making her little captain cry. Even so, she knew it was best not to question Saki when she was like this. Saki would only refuse to explain or change the subject.
“I’ll just take that as a yes.” Saki said as she plopped down onto the bed and made herself comfortable.
Miyabi decided to believe that the older girl would tell her about her problem when she felt better. She smiled and jumped onto the bed. She rolled onto her side and faced Saki. “I’m tired but I’m kind of afraid to go to sleep.”
Miyabi did not notice Saki’s expression sadden at the thought of Miyabi’s dream. “It’s alright, Miya. It was just a dream. I’m sure nothing bad will happen. Besides, I’ll be here to protect you.” Saki forced a smile.
Miyabi could not help but be comforted by the smile. At the sight of Saki’s smile, Miyabi let herself feel the full effects of fatigue and immediately fell asleep.
Seeing that Miyabi had fallen asleep, Saki took hold of Miyabi’s hand and closed her eyes to begin Navigating. I’m sorry about this, Miyabi…
…
Saki opened her eyes to find herself standing on the stage of Saitama Super Arena. Apparently, all the members of Berryz Koubou dreamed of this stage. It was a momentous concert for them after all. As Saki scanned Miyabi’s dream world for the Sea of Dreams, she noticed something that resembled giant storm cloud. It was Miyabi’s subconscious trying to shroud the repressed memory.
Saki ran off the stage and stopped when she reached a blank part of Miyabi’s world. She remembered that she had to forge her own path to get around. Unfortunately, Ai had told her how to exactly do that. Saki closed her eyes and tried to imagine a path to the storm cloud. She opened them to find that there was no bridge but, nonetheless, decided to take her chances and step into the white. She lowered one foot into the whiteness and was mildly surprised to feel something that was concrete solid. She gathered all her courage and completely stepped out into the whiteness.
Saki’s heart beat faster with each step she took towards the shroud of darkness. She stopped when she was just one step away from entering the darkness. Saki reached out and touched the cloud made of turmoil. She felt chills run down her spine and started shaking uncontrollably. She decided she would have to deal with the unimaginable horror of proceeding through the cloud. She then backed up a couple steps and ran straight into the foul matter.
Saki was forced to slow down her pace as she continued through the darkness. She felt as if her heart would implode and the pain seemed to become more severe as she proceeded deeper into the darkness. She felt as if all the pain and sadness she had ever experienced was being built up within her. The part that scared Saki the most was the fact that she could also feel anger building up in her. She felt all the dark pent-up emotions being released from within her. It was as if Miyabi’s cloud of turmoil was forcing out Saki’s own feelings of turmoil.
Just as she began feeling that enduring the mix of dark emotions was becoming unbearable, Saki reached the memory. She collapsed onto the ground of the Sea of Dreams. Saki felt completely exhausted, physically and mentally, from what she had just went through. She was able to become unconscious when the sound of laughter re-energized her. She suddenly remembered the reason for her going through that unspeakable horror. She picked herself up and walked to the tree on the hill that overlooked the Sea of Dreams. From there, she could see her past self and Miyabi laughing next to the sunflower. Saki watched as her past self took Miyabi’s hand and led her over to sit under the tree. We were so happy, so why forget all this?
“Miya… Close your eyes, I want to give you your present.” Saki smiled.
“Do I have to close my eyes?” Miyabi chuckled.
“Yes, now close them.”
“Aye aye, Captain” Miyabi said as she closed her eyes.
After a few moments of hesitation, Saki lifted Miyabi’s hand and kissed the back of it.
“That’s it?” Miyabi opened her eyes and pouted.
“Shhh. Just keep your eyes closed.” Saki laughed and covered Miyabi’s eyes with her hand.
Miyabi complied with Saki’s order.
“A kiss on the hand to remind you that I will always be your knight in shining armor, Miyabi-hime.”
Miyabi giggled at the cheesiness of Saki’s comment, but felt herself blush nonetheless.
Saki then placed her hand on Miyabi’s cheek and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“A kiss on the forehead to bless you with sweet dreams.”
Saki took a breath to gather her courage and closed her eyes as she leaned forward to place her lips lightly on Miyabi’s. Saki was about to pull away when she felt Miyabi place her hand on her cheek and deepen the kiss.
Saki watched her past self and Miyabi kiss for what seemed like ages. She remembered that she didn’t want to let it end. After all, it was supposed to be the last time she would ever allow herself love Miyabi as anything more than a friend. She didn’t remember Miyabi being so reluctant to let the kiss end though.
The two finally parted when they ran out of air. They were both breathing heavily and Miyabi’s eyes were still closed.
“A special kiss to say 'Happy Birthday, Miya.'” Saki said as a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Miyabi finally opened her eyes and looked into Saki’s eyes.
Miyabi lowered her head to hide her blushing face. “Thank you”
They held hands and sat there in silence as they admired the sunflower that they had grown together. Saki was the one to break the silence after noticing that the sun was beginning to set.
“It’s getting late. I’ll walk you to the train station.” Saki said.
“It’s alright. I want to stay for a bit longer.” Miyabi responded, which made the Saki's smile widen.
Saki recalled the vow she had made. She had promised herself that she would love Miyabi with all her heart that day. She had promised that, once the sun set that day, she would forget about her love for Miyabi and let her go. Saki braced herself for what she knew would happen next.
Once the sun had set, Saki’s face saddened. Her eyes lost the glint of happiness that had just overwhelmed her minutes ago. She turned to look Miyabi in the eyes.
“Miya, thank you for everything. Thank you for being my first kiss. Thank you for letting me be selfish and taking your first kiss. Now I have something to tell you.” Saki said in a loving manner.
Miyabi was speechless for several seconds and was interuppted by Saki before she could respond.
“The reason that I asked you to spend today, the day before your birthday, with me is because I want you to spend your birthday with Airi.” Saki said while keeping as much emotion out of her voice as possible.
“Why Airin?” Miyabi asked curiously.
“I guess you still haven’t realized how much you love her. I see it in your eyes when you look at her, Miya. I notice the things you’re willing to do just to make her smile. The great thing is that I’m sure she loves you back. I want her to be happy and, more importantly, I want you to be happy. Since you two love each other, you should work hard to be with each other.” Saki said as she freed her hand from Miyabi’s.
“Ganbare! I’ll be supporting your love from the sidelines.” Saki made a fist and raised it up.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to walk you to the station. My mom will get angry with me if I’m not home in like 10 minutes. I’ll see you soon, Miya.” Saki hugged Miyabi before running away.
Saki watched as her past self ran away with tears flowing down her cheeks, tears that went unnoticed by Miyabi. Saki turned back to observe Miyabi. It was time to find out why Miyabi wanted to forget this memory so badly.
A still speechless Miyabi rose and walked down the hill to the stand beside the sunflower. Saki followed and stood on the other side of the sunflower.
“Saki is right. I love Airi. She has to be right. She’s my captain after all so I should listen to her.”
Tears began to fall on the sunflower. She’s crying?
Miyabi wiped the tears from her face. “I’m crying?… Why?… Why am I crying?... Why?” she sobbed.
Saki watched Miyabi cry for several minutes before she couldn’t bear the sight anymore. She decided she would leave. Saki thought she had gotten the answer to her question. The reason that Miyabi wanted to forget was because she wanted to love Airi with all her heart.
After Saki left, a tiger walked up to the sunflower. The figure that had observed Saki’s Navigation lesson walked up to stand beside the tiger. The tiger was unlike anything that would be seen in a zoo. The tiger’s fur was completely black from head to tail. Its round, blue eyes had been watching Saki during her observation of this memory.
Suddenly, the black tiger spoke. The voice sounded like that of a human female, but had an animalistic quality to it. “So a new Navigator has appeared and, as expected, it happens to be Shimizu Saki.”
“What should we do now, senpai? Should we convince her to join us?” the girl standing beside the tiger asked.
“I doubt she’ll want to join us. After all, she’s already the captain of Berryz Koubou. After witnessing this though, who knows? The little captain’s wisdom and ability to read situations seems to fail when it comes to dealing with Miyabi-chan.”
The girl stared at Miyabi while trying to figure out what the tiger meant. After a couple seconds, a question that had been nagging the girl the whole night distracted her.
“Ummm, senpai…I’ve been wondering about why Takahashi-san make Tsugunaga-san’s memory crumble.” the girl asked.
“You’ve told me that she’s been training herself to handle it so that she won’t accidentally destroy any more important memories or dreams. Even so, I guess she still can’t completely control it. She lacks experience. So far, she’s only used it once to serve her own purposes. Just because you have power, doesn’t mean you know how to use it correctly,” the black tiger explained.
The girl adopted a look that made it seem like she did not understand a word the tiger had just spoken but nodded in comprehension nonetheless. “I see.”
“You’re too cute.” The black tiger purred.
The girl's face became red, which was accentuated by her fair skin.
The black tiger changed its tone and spoke with authority. “I want to find out what Saki-chan’s specialty is so mainly observe her for now while keeping tabs on Takahashi’s actions. It’s probably almost time for us to make our move.”

Ai... Made the stage crumble in Momoko's dream? How? And what effect will that have?
Who is the tiger and the girl? They don't really seem evil, so I'm a little wary of what they want and why they want Saki to join them.
Anyway, now that Saki knows, what will she do? Drive herself crazy with the thought that she probably could have had Miyabi, if at Airi's expense. Explore the others' dreams?
-
What so Saki loved Miya, kissed her and thyen told he she should be with Airi?!? :? It's clear that Miya obviously liked Capatain back then and probably thinks Saki didn't want her and so tries to surpress the memory, well thats my theory anyway.
I wonder what the importasnce is of having Ai make Momo's dream crumble?
Who are the tiger and the girl, are they navigators too or are they something else?
I wonder what Saki will do know knowing Miya's side of the story through that dream, what will happen if Miya finds out that Saki's been in her dreams will she get angry?
-
@abok Don't you just love how Maimi seems totally clueless sometimes? I mean in real life. XD Her airheadedness makes me love her.
yeah..... i love her because of that too.... and also because of her awesomeness :inlove:
poor miya and saki..... :cry:
why would saki do that.... :? she love miya so much.... :cry:
this chapter is full of sadness.... :cry: but i love it...... :twothumbs
and by the way, whose that creepy tiger and the girl??? :?
are they friends or foe??? :?
why what do they mean by Ai-chan using her power for her own purposes??? :?
-
Wow...Captain kissed Miya and told her to celebrate with Airi... I mean, if she thinks Miya loves Airi, then why does she take her first kiss? Miya obviously liked Captain back then. Actually, both Captain and Airi. But that's just sad. :(
And I can't figure out who the tiger and the girl is. :mon dunno:
I hope the others aren't mad at Miya because Captain came to her room instead of telling everyone she's back. :(
Also curious about what they mean by Ai-chan doing such and such for her own purposes... She's not bad, right? :(
-
yes! :ding: the hidoi na was directed for getting rid of Miya-Rii...... :angry1: :angry1: :angry1:
well, atleast in the mean time there's Miya-Airi :luvluv2: :luvluv2: :luvluv2:....haha gomen, :sweat: i like Saki but not that much.....but I'm really liking your story! :on lol: :on lol: :on lol:
talking tiger? :stoned:
So, its captain's fault why Miya's suppressing her feelings for her.... :bigdeal: :bigdeal: :bigdeal:
Go for the Kappa! :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer:
update soon! :on GJ:
-
@rndm Did I not make the tiger and girl evil enough? I'm just kidding. *shrugs* Who knows what they want. I feel like making Ai badass so ssshhhhh about the how. XD
@oddball I'd be pissed if I found out somebody invaded my dreams without my permission. She'll find out sooner or later. I think it depends on my mood whether Miya will be pissed or not.XD
@abok I see you caught on about Ai's use of her power. Hmmm, I'm not giving any hints to answer that one. :lol: Should I make the story sadder or not? XD
@kano-chan I like making my characters so blinded by love that they make readers go "why are they so stupid? :cry:" Is it working?
Would I make Ai evil?... Maybe. *shrugs* I swear the story changes depending on how I feel when I write it. XD
@ayase :mon curtain: Kowai... I was thinking about starting another fic. Maybe there'll be some MiyaRii. *reads rest of the comment* ... On second thought, let me just go make the tiger eat Airi and Risako in this story. XD
After thinking about the previous chapters for a bit, I realized a couple things. First, The way I write my story sounds a bit robotic and needs more detail. Next, how and why the hell does Captain sound so whiny to me in my own story?... Oh well, at least I get to try to improve now that I've noticed. :D Yay! I can totally start making Captain sound less whiny after this next chapter. :heart: It's a short update but I tried to make it epic. :nervous Emphasis on the word "tried"

EDIT: Oh no.... My stupidity made me delete a sentence at the last paragraph of this chapter. :banghead:
Chapter 8
It had taken only one dream to make her heart bloom with hope and it had taken only one dream to make her heart wither in pain. Saki sat on the bed hugging her knees while she watched Miyabi sleep. The younger girl seemed to be so much more content now that she wasn’t dreaming about Saki.
If Miyabi can be happy without me, why can’t I be happy without Miyabi?…She never needed me to be happy.
If Miyabi can forget so easily, why can’t I forget about our love?… But then she never loved me.
Saki continued to go back and forth in her mind about in this fashion until she remembered what she had resolved the night before their kiss. She should never have broken her promise to forget. She should have never discovered that Miyabi had cried after she had left.
Saki still couldn’t understand why Miyabi had cried. The image of a crying Miyabi flashed through Saki’s mind. Saki decided that she didn’t want to think about it. She decided that she would once again take up her resolve to let Miyabi and Airi live happily together. Even after deciding to forget, the image of Miyabi continued to linger in her mind. Saki needed to stay away from Miyabi for a while.
Saki leaned down to give Miyabi a farewell kiss. She stopped when their lips were only centimeters apart. If Saki were to truly forget about Miyabi, she couldn’t make the same mistake as she had last time. She couldn’t let her feelings be released in a kiss as she had last time. A single teardrop fell on Miyabi’s face as Saki pulled away and fled the room crying.
Remembering that she had the key, Saki rushed to the room that Ai had brought her to earlier that night. To Saki’s surprise, Ai was sleeping on the bed inside of the room. “Takahashi-san?”
Ai began to move when she heard a voice in the room with her. She rubbed her eyes to attempt to clear her vision. “Eh, Saki-chan. Why are you here?” she asked groggily.
Saki quickly wiped the tears from her face and tried to think of an excuse. “I left something in the room earlier. Why are you here, Takahashi-san?”
“There’s really no need for formalities, Saki-chan. Just call me Ai-chan or maybe just Ai.”
“Why are you here?”
“It didn’t feel right to leave. I came back to check on you.”
“I’m fine now and I think I’ll be returning to my room now” Saki said nervously as she turned to exit the room.
“Saki-chan” Ai called her to a stop. “It’s alright if you stay.”
“…”
“I know you want to deal with this alone. I know the burden of being a leader. I want to help. You can talk to me about it.”
“I’m sorry, Takahashi-san. I don’t want to talk about it. I want to just forget. Unless you can magically make the pain disappear, I don’t think you can help me.” Saki said as tears started to well up in her eyes again. She fell to her knees and broke down crying.
Ai walked over to Saki and placed her hand on Saki’s shoulder. “I can help you forget,” she said hesitantly.
“How?” Saki sobbed.
Ai helped Saki rise and led her to the bed. “I have my ways,” Ai responded nervously.
“… Then help me,” Saki said softly.
“I think it’s best if you just talked it out,” Ai said, regretting that she had mentioned her ability.
“Help me, Takahashi-san” Saki pleaded.
“This would be irreversible. Are you sure you want to forget?” Ai said, still hoping that Saki would change her mind.
“I want to forget” Saki said determinedly.
“I promise I’ll make you happy again. Trust me.” Ai smiled at Saki as she started to caress the top of her head.
Saki felt awkward, but comfortable with her senpai’s touch. She placed all her faith in Ai’s words. An image of Miyabi crying over the sunflower flashed in her mind one last time before Saki drifted into sleep. I’m sorry, Miyabi.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ai found herself in the middle of a field of blue flowers. She took a deep breath and smelled the air. It had been a while since she had last been in such a peaceful setting. Unfortunately, this was not the time to relax and enjoy the view.
Ai started looking around for the dream Saki and found her talking happily to Miyabi as they stood next to a sunflower. “I guess I’m in the right place,” Ai said as she began walking towards the pair.
As Ai neared the sunflower, she watched the two girls walk over to a tree on a nearby hill. Ai stood beside the sunflower as she watched the memory that Saki wanted to forget so badly.
“How sweet,” Ai said as she saw Saki kiss Miyabi’s hand.
“Kawaii,” Ai exclaimed as Miyabi was kissed on the forehead.
Seeing the last kiss that Saki shared with Miyabi made Ai feel a mix of awkwardness and sadness. “Both of them want to forget this?” Ai thought that Saki and Miyabi seemed obviously in love with each other in this dream so why would they both want to forget.
Multiple images of the crying Saki ran through Ai’s mind as she saw the dream Saki run off in tears. “I promised to help her forget and I will,” Ai said with determination.
Ai surveyed the landscape of the dream and discovered that the sunflower was the center of the dream. She stared at the sunflower in a flurry of emotions as she thought about the pain that Saki was enduring from the memory of the place.
“I’ll help you forget everything, Saki-chan.”
Ai placed her hand over the sunflower. She closed her eyes and began to focus. The land began to crumble outward from the sunflower in the shapes of various puzzle pieces. As the last edges of Saki’s dream collapsed, Ai opened her eyes and smiled at accomplishing her goal. She looked around to admire her feat but her smile faded and eyes widened as she noticed something.
Saki’s whole world was crumbling. The memories were starting to collapse from the power that was resonating throughout the dream world with Ai and the sunflower as the focal point.
Ai panicked. She closed her eyes tried to focus on the thought of stablizing the world. Ai opened her eyes and began to run towards Saki’s remaining memories as she realized she had failed. Instead of stabilzing, the world was falling apart even faster now.
As the last remnants of Saki’s memories fell to the depths of her mind, Ai turned around. She took one last look at the sunflower that stood alone in the mass of nothingness. A single petal flew over to where Ai was standing and disintegrated from a touch of Ai's hand.
"Not again..." Ai said as tears started to flow down her cheeks. Ai watched as the sunflower slowly faded away and the ground it stood on became the last piece of Saki’s memories to fall.
-
Aaahhh! Oh no! What's going on? :mon scare:
Ai-chan made everything crumble, but she failed? :shocked:
-
That part was so sad!! :cry: What will happen to poor Saki-chan? :( You don't go being mean to her now y'hear... What's that you say? Yeah, just forget that I killed her off myself. >.> That was before I knew better. XD
Hmm after this I don't think Ai is evil, but who knows I guess huh, because of your moods? :lol: She just has what... may be a rather evil ability, even if she doesn't think of it that way. It's more a lack of remorse... which again, could be taken as evil :lol: even if it's done with good intentions. Ahh, that gray area of perspectives of good and evil and each side feeling what they do is right... *cough* Who knows if that's actually what you're doing here though. :lol:
And yes, the woman and tiger were obviously not evil enough. :lol:
Also caught something in relation to Miya there that Ai might have done... though am not gonna elaborate on it at this time...
-
Hmmm, I'm not giving any hints to answer that one. :lol: Should I make the story sadder or not? XD

Yay, time to reply to comments. :D
@kano-chan Alright! I got at least one person to use that monkey smiley. I feel a least a bit accomplished now. XD I'm just kidding. What do you think of Ai now?
@rokun Oh good, you knew what I would've said in response to being mean to Saki. You know what sucks? I actually knew that you would kill her off before I even read it because I had skimmed the prologue of the sequel on accident before starting to read the prequel. :cry: Wait, you're mean to her all the time anyways. XD You scared the crap out of me when I thought you killed her off in BB too. It was just a "Not again!!" moment for me. Hhhmmm, me and my moods. XD What lack of remorse? Anyways, about the good and evil thing... you could say that. I'm leaving it up to the readers to decide who they consider evil or good. For me, there's not really any good or evil in this story, only humans (and apparently animals). Oh and Ai has never done anything to Miya's dreams. Unless I feel like going crazy and changing the story again, the other time Ai has used her power for a purpose was on a person outside of Berryz. :lol:
@abok Just great... your hint ended up at the end of my reply to rokun. In any case, I remain true to my word by continuing this. I guess I made it happier with this next chapter?... maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you look at it. XD Tell me what you think after you read it. Happy or sad?
@rndm :( Aww, no drunk comment? :P I'm just kidding. I rather you not get drunk. What is this? I swear I'm going to start thinking of chapter 8 as the :panic: chapter now because of your comment and other comments. It makes it easier for me to remember what happened in the chapter.
@ayase Lies! You're totally not kidding about hunting me down if I killed those two off. :mon ghost: What if I only killed only one off? :mon dunno: Which one do you like more? :mon thumb: Btw, sssshhhh... who knows if Ai did it on purpose or not. I don't know (or do I?). XD She might or might not have done it "accidentally on purpose" <-- just got brainwashed by T.V. so excuse me if I'm not really making sense right now. :P
@oddball And now I feel slightly accomplished again by getting somebody to actually call her stupid for that. :D Of course Tsunku will be pissed. *gets mad at own story* Stupid Tsunku! It's all your fault that Saki ended up like this. Let's blame everything on Tsunku now for unlocking their powers and causing all this. :lol: :panic: <-- I just felt like putting that here. I think I'm just sleepy now so my brain is a litte (or very) off right now. Excuse me if I sound a bit crazy or hysterical. :mon closeup: ... :mon hi:... Alright, hopefully I didn't scare you away with this. XD
Alright, so I had intended for this next chapter to be a lot longer but then I changed my mind. The reason I changed my mind is because I want you readers to give me answers to a certain question that's in this chapter. I'll clarify which question after the end of the chapter. I had also intended on giving out a huge clue that would have basically ended up revealing who one of the mysterious characters is. Oh well, I'll say something here then to make up for that. XD There's no way I can call the mysterious girl in the story a woman yet.

Chapter 9
Ai looked around with her vision blurred by tears. She was about to leave when she caught a pair of blue eyes watching her, glaring at her. Ai rubbed her eyes to clear up her vision and her mouth fell open as she took in the beauty of the beast that stood before her. An enormous wolf covered in luscious black fur was standing about 100 meters away from her. The black wolf started to growl fiercely as a gaping Ai started to walk towards it. When Ai got close enough to reach out and touch the wolf, the beast pounced on Ai and snarled, “Leave!”
The wolf then jumped away from its position on top of Ai, who was on her back now, and started stalking around her in circles as if Ai was its helplesss little prey. Ai did as she was told, afraid that the beast would literally rip her head off if she didn’t. It was hard to concentrate with a giant predator around, but it helped that the beast was no longer standing above her or growling. Even so, Ai closed her eyes tighter and concentrated on returning to reality.
After Ai disappeared from Saki’s dream world, the black wolf began to transform. Its fur shortened, paws grew bigger, ears became round, and muzzle widened as it transformed into a black tiger. Once the transformation was complete, the black tiger said aloud, “You can show yourself now. I’m pretty sure she’s not coming back, at least not tonight.”
A fair-skinned girl appeared before the tiger and stared at the animal curiously. She titled her head slightly and asked, “Why did you transform into a wolf?”
The black tiger explained, “Takahashi has only seen me in this form once when she last did something like this so I decided to use that to our benefit. If we’re lucky, she’ll make an assumption with something along the line of ‘black animals are the manifestations of the dreamers’ subconscious.’”
“Umm… I was just wondering why you transformed into a wolf and not a different animal,” the girl asked timidly.
“What else was I supposed to turn into? A kitten?” the tiger asked sarcastically.
“You can turn into a kitten?” the girl asked, with a smile and eyes filled with wonderment. The girl was extremely tempted to ask her senpai to transform into a kitten or maybe even a tiger cub but decided against it. There were more serious things to attend to at the moment.
“Yeah, but I’m not going to do that right now. I’m not in the mood. Anyways, I need you to take your group to visit Berryz. It should be fairly easy if you just go under the pretense that you want to observe your senpai. Try to find out what Takahashi is going to do about Saki-chan now. There’s no way that Tsunku can make her graduate. She’s too important as the Captain of Berryz.”
“What will you do then, senpai?”
“Since I don’t see Saki-chan anywhere around here I’m guessing that she’s still sleeping but not in the REM* sleep stage right now. I’m sure that she’ll wake up soon so I won’t make my move until tomorrow night. Now let’s get out of here.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ai woke up with a jolt and checked herself for any pain she might feel from being pounced on by a giant wolf. What was a beast like that doing in Saki’s mind anyways? There’s no way something like that could be one of Saki’s memories. Something clicked inside Ai’s head. She had seen a similar beast before. A black tiger appeared right after that incident happened. There’s no way this was just coincidence. There had to be a reason those animals showed up.
It wasn’t until Saki started moving that Ai remembered what she had just done to the girl. Saki opened her eyes and sat up to look around her. She clutched her head and her eyes met Ai’s. Saki continued staring at Ai, while trying to remember everything, trying to remember anything. “Why? Why can’t I remember anything?” Saki asked desperately as tears started to build up in her eyes. “Who are you? Who am I?”
As Saki began to cry, Ai muttered, “I’m sorry, Saki-chan. I’m really sorry.” Ai began to cry as well. Guilt overwhelmed her and she became infuriated with herself. Why did things end up like this? All she had wanted to do was help. She just wanted to make Saki happy. All she had ever wanted was to make the people in her life happy. Ai closed her eyes and began to cry even harder.
Ai felt a hand brush the tears off her face and, suddenly, she felt a pair of soft lips press lightly against her own. Ai opened her eyes to see a teary-eyed but smiling Saki pull away. New tears flowed down Ai’s face as anger became replaced with sadness.
Saki stopped smiling and began to panic about the crying Ai. “I’m sorry. I thought that might cheer you up. I thought you had to be somebody… important to me since I woke up by your side and since you’ve been crying as much as I have, even more than I have. Was I wrong?”
After thinking about what Saki said, Ai made a decision. “At this moment, I’m just your senpai… but I can and want to be somebody special to you… if you let me be.”
Ai pulled Saki in for a kiss. As soon as their lips met, Saki remained completely still until she felt a strange desire for love, an unknown desire to be loved. Both Ai and Saki continued kissing each other, desperately and passionately but gently.
After several minutes of kissing, they separated but left their faces only centimeters apart. “So are you more than just a senpai to me now?” Saki asked timidly.
“At this moment, I’m just your girlfriend.” Ai chuckled and took Saki’s hands in hers. “I promised that I would make you happy and I will. Trust me.”
Saki nodded and gave Ai a smile; the smile that Ai had seen only after Saki had kissed Miyabi in Saki’s dream.
For about three hours, Ai briefed Saki about her life as an idol. She told Saki about her audition, her progress, her high school graduation, and her status as Captain. Ai tried to give Saki all the information she could, but it was hard considering the fact that Ai rarely met Saki for work and met her even less outside of work. Ai would have to use other methods to give Saki her memories back.
Ai then had an epiphany and realized Saki’s original memories might be irreparable but there had to be others that shared the same memories. The memories would be in somebody else’s version but it would give Saki enough of an insight to be able to create new memories and actually seeing everything would be a million times better than just hearing about it. Navigation was the cause of this problem and now it would become the solution. The question now was which dreams they should observe first. More importantly, whose dream should they visit first? Ai thought about it and decided that she would let Saki choose tomorrow night but she would make sure that it would definitely not by Miyabi's dream.
“We should stop for tonight, Saki-chan. You need to get some rest,” said Ai.
“But I’m fine, Takahashi-san. I want to hear more.”
“Why? Why is it still ‘Takahashi-san’?”Ai asked jokingly.
Saki began to pout and stared at Ai. She looked like a little lost puppy looking for a home. Ai almost reached out to pull the girl into a hug because she was just too damned cute at that moment. This was the girl that Ai would learn to love, the girl she was starting to love. Ai laughed at the notion, which caused Saki to tilt her head with curiousity. Saki looked even cuter as a confused puppy than as a sad puppy. “Maybe I’ll tell you more if you call me ‘Ai’,” Ai said playfully.
“Ai!” Saki called out eagerly but not without blushing fiercely.
“Sugoi, you actually said it.” Ai laughed a bit. “You should still go to sleep though.”
“... I don’t want to” Saki said solemnly, no longer looking like a cute little puppy.
“Why not? I’ll tell you more about yourself and everybody else when you wake up but you need to get some rest now,” asked Ai.
“I’m afraid to go to sleep,” explained Saki. She stared down at the bed with eyes clouded with fear of the unknown and, also, fear of knowledge. “I’m afraid that I might wake up and not remember anything again. I’m afraid I might wake up and not remember you.”
Ai stared at the Saki for a moment, taking in what she had just said, before leaning forward to kiss the girl. “Saki,” Ai said as she lightly squeezed the girl’s hand. “I promise that nothing like that will ever happen again so sleep now,” Ai said soothingly.
Saki nodded slowly and lay down without letting go of her girlfriend’s hand. Ai smiled and used her free hand to cover Saki’s eyes as a silent way of telling her to go to sleep. Once Saki closed her eyes, Ai moved the hand away and lay down as well. Ai looked at the peaceful face of the girl she had decided to protect. Ai really was starting to love the girl. Saki was turning away in her sleep but, after feeling a slight tug from still holding Ai’s hand, she turned onto her side to face Ai. Ai chuckled when Saki moved Ai’s hand next to her face and placed her other hand on top of Ai’s. Ai lightly kissed Saki on the forehead and moved into a similar position as Saki, placing her free hand on top of Saki’s. Ai took one last look at the sleeping Saki before closing her own eyes to go to sleep. Yabai…I think I’ve already fallen for her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep stage is supposedly the the stage of sleep in which dreams occur. So the reason why Saki wasn't seen around when the world inside her mind was being destroyed was because she was only sleeping and not dreaming at the time. She had stopped dreaming when she had run away crying in her dream.
First off, nobody is going to kill me for this pairing right? I had to get this fluff out of my head so now my brain is just screaming "Yay for epic Ai-senpai fail! It got her a girlfriend." Hey rokun... I'm not going to get disowned by Estrea if she ever hears about this, am I? XD Oh well, on to the question I was going to ask readers.
Remember the "whose dream should they visit first?" Saki's decision is actually the readers' decisions. I really have no preference about whose dreams they should invade. Pick any H!P member. How many dreams the visit depends on who and how many you guys want me to write. There's also an alternative though. I can always just move on with the story and completely skip Saki's little adventures for now and leave them as possible side stories. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide. Just leave a comment or PM me or something with your ideas or suggestions.
-
Omigod you didn't! :rofl: Ai/Saki? Why is that so hilarious to me..? Wow, though, Ai sure fell fast. Or is she just telling herself that?
BTW, I'm too broke to get drunk right now, but I get paid next week and on the 3rd I'm taking a friend out to the bar, so maybe then I'll be coherent enough to find a computer. :lol:
Hmm, who to visit first... gotta be one of the Berryz. The obvious answer is Miyabi, but I'll say Momoko.
-
OMG!!!! :stoned: :stoned: :stoned:
Ai and Saki??? :on blackhole: :on blackhole: :on blackhole: i never imagine this Tundra.....
I need you to take your group to visit Berryz. It should be fairly easy if you just go under the pretense that you want to observe your senpai.
that mysterious girl is also a HP girl??? :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: is she one of the S/mileage member??? :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:
i think this is a happy/sad chapter.... the happy moment is because Saki got Ai to take of her, and the sad moment is because Saki had lost all her memory including her feeling for Miya... :pleeease: :pleeease:
and i think that the first dream to visit should be Maimi since she and Saki shared the same problem (the love of their love is dating each other -miyaxairi-) but that's what i think... :on gay: :on gay:
-
Okay! :bingo: first...did the tiger just made a joke? :on spit: :on spit: :on spit:
and what the? :grr: Ai and Saki? :imdead: that caught me really off guard, as in caught off guard! :on kimbo: :on kimbo: :on kimbo:
oh well, if that would make a gap :hehehe: between Saki and Miya then......wooot! :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer: kidding... :on ksweat:
Does the skinny girl with the tiger from Smileage? haha :glasses: :glasses: :glasses:
oi... :on cigar: oi.. :on cigar:.oi... :on cigar: did u really just asked me which of the two would i let to be eaten? :shock:
Kotae wa, nai desu! :on asmo: you're really "ebil" Tundra-kun.... :on chew: :on chew: :on chew:
nice update.... :on GJ:
PS: but where is my Airi-Miya dose? :wahaha: :wahaha: :wahaha:
-
The tiger and her, well assistant I suppose got Ai out of Saki's mind/dreams, is The Tiger/Wolf(possible Kitten :lol:) Reina?, I just thought it might be with the kitten reference, plae-skinned girl, hmm younger and in a group, Yuuka perhaps? Hmm they seem to know alot about whats going on, do they also work for Tsunku or do they work for some sort of...Dream protection agency or something (I have mentioned this before) if they do I wonder if Tsunku realizes that they exist?
Ai and Saki, I'm not that surpised that you are doing this, I know you like pimping Saki out, you've admitted to it at my fanfic tread over at hello!online XD
Hmm I wonder why Ai is so keen to start a relationship with Saki, is it is beacuse she has lost someone she loved in the past, the one who had to be graduated, on this note, I haven't heard anything of Gaki yet..... :panic:
Why do I get the feeling that Ai may turn into the baddie in this fic?
-
Hmmmmm... XD
First off, Essy will not disown you lol. Though apparently she's not following this story... Anyway, she likes both Ai and Saki, and is generally for Ai/anyone. :lol: (except apparently Jun is a bit kimoi in this case as well...)
As for my reaction...... :rofl:
Somehow I sensed a little of that in previous chapters (might look up where after while), but it still happened kinda... suddenly. :lol: I suppose such a dramatic change can... have that effect though, lol. Still, Ai and Saki are hawtness separately, so together they are :heart: as well. Looking for more hotness like that kiss... :wub: If that's gonna go on though, I'm gonna pull an ayase and ask for more MiyAiri fixes too! :lol:
Also, my first guess at the girl with the tiger was Ayaka (as S/mileage's leader) after the info you gave, lol. Still uncertain about the tiger - the kitten thing sounded a bit like Reina, but I still have my doubts. No clue beyond that though. :lol:
As for the question, hmm... I actually kinda agree with abok there and what he said about Maimi. :bingo:
-
Oh...Coool!!! TakaSaki!........... :mon duh: .......... :stoned: :mon wtf: Ehhhhhhhhhhh???!!!??!!! :mon mad: :mon fire: YOU DIDN'T! :mon zoom: No no no!!! That's just not cool! :shock:
I'm a TakaGaki fan so I absolutely cannot accept this! :mon ref:
You need to fix this! :mon runcry: :tantrum:
Yes, I'm overreacting, but still! :scared:
-
Alrighty then, I finally had time to comment properly that is. :P
I can totally understand the whole not remembering part of either parties Saki obviously doesn't remember because she is experiencing this navigation thing whereas Miya, the dreamer supposedly wouldn't have any memories because IT IS a dream and wouldn't understand the issues or memories outside of the dream. Logically thinking if one aspect of your mind functions is clashing with other aspects such as dreaming vs recalling a real memory half way through (like trying to get someone in the dream to recall a memory or dream), it makes sense why Miya would feel pain in their heads. Technically Saki is feeling the pain in her navigational skills in trying to do something that she shouldn't hence using more brain power than necessary. Pretty cool stuff you've got here. :thumbsup
By the looks of Airin's tighter hug, it seems that Airin is also concerned about the relationship between the Berryz Captain and her girlfriend...could this be a hint that Airin knows something that Miya doesn't?? Like per se a talk between Saki and Airi??? :?
Ah why am I am not surprised that we have a dense Maimi who doesn’t seem to realize her feelings for a certain kappa??
I do want to know the story behind Maimi giving Saki a piggyback ride, that seems to have given Miya the idea that Saki and Maimi were together though
So we have a mysterious figure that appears hmmmm….. why did the stage dream crumble??? :?
So the memory that Miya wanted to suppress was the one in which Saki asks Miya to accept Airi even though they both knew perfectly well that they loved each other, makes sense because it would be painful for Miya to keep a memory like that when she is with someone else. Saki thought Miya loved Airi or at least Miya was probably conflicted between Saki and Airi and it seems that Saki made the choice for Miya and then of course Miya who would do anything that Saki says would agree right??? OMG!!!! :shocked
Is the figure in Momo’s dream the same or different from the black tiger??? If they are different then why do I have a feeling that this whole dream thing is actually a fight between the mysterious figure’s clan vs the black tiger’s clan. One is to protect and one is to destroy….I am guessing that the tiger is trying to protect and the mysterious figure is trying to destroy it is a matter of who approaches the Navigator first to do or teach them what they want them to know??? But then again the tiger is telling the little girl that Ai is abusing her powers, wiping important memories for her own purposes. If so then I can tell why Ai would wipe out Momo’s stage dream, to stop her from thinking she is a princess too often and maybe toning down the whole cutesy thing.
Damn Ai don’t say you can help when you aren’t certain about it!!!!!! Now you’ve wiped all memories of Saki!!!! “Not again”??? Who else did she wipe out???
Definitely the little girl is probably the leader in S/mileage because the only junior group is them that they call Berryz senpai.
What???? What a way to get a girlfriend!!!!!! But that was quick, I mean Saki wakes up to see a crying Ai and just kisses her when she doesn’t even know who she is??? Even if she thought Ai was important, unless Saki was generally attracted to Ai then it doesn’t seem logical to just kiss the person right??? But that could just be me. Ahh~ see Saki only had a strange desire for love meaning she doesn’t really love Ai but then what about Ai? Maybe she desires to be loved too??
Nope Ai is beginning to develop feelings (or love) the captain hmmmm…..
I actually think it might be dangerous to go into Maimi’s dream first only because the dilemma that Saki faces is the same with Maimi and also don’t forget Saki hasn’t seen Miya just yet, so we don’t know the repercussions that would occur once Saki sees Miya again. Maimi might be dreaming about being happy with Airi in one instance and then her dreamworld would turn dark because now Maimi would be at the sidelines watching Airi and Miya together right???
Really if Ai wanted to recover Saki’s memories as a child, it might be wise to visit those that are farthest from Miya first, such as the C-ute and Berryz members that don’t have feelings for Saki to uncover the history of Saki, but it could be dangerous to go into Maimi, Airi, Miya, Risako and Chinami’s dreams at the moment, especially not until Saki has really let go of Miya and loves Ai entirely.
-
I probably won't update for a couple days, but I wanted to respond to comments. Apparently the girls will visit the dreams of Maimi and maybe Momoko? If they went into Miyabi's dream, the most important memory is still locked away but who knows what Ai would do.
@rndm I find it kind of strange that I was laughing on the inside while writing this chapter. It was both :mon lmao: and :mon lovelaff: at the same time. :mon duh: :mon scare: Be sure to make it an interesting drunk comment now. No 'too drunk rply later' unless you're like this :mon barf: at the time. Btw, why Momoko?
@abok So is that an approval of AixSaki? I've only ever given like two clues as to who the girl was, right? All that I said was that they aren't from Berryz and they're younger. I guess Maimi is definitely going to be one of the people they will visit. Don't forget that Maimi is fairly dense though. She doesn't realize that she has feelings for Airi at all.
@ayase Like the tiger? :lol: Didn't you say that you wouldn't mind me experimenting with pairings? Experiment 1: TakaSaki :mon sweat: How'd it turn out?... Alright, so I'll take your comment as you picking Airi to be eaten. :mon fyeah: Don't worry, I'm half kidding about that. :mon mischief: You'll get your MiyAiri dose soon enough. XD They have to come back after all.
@oddball I was actually just using a kitten because the tiger was a tiger. XD I was even about to make it turn into a baby tiger cub. *shakes head and sighs* Tsunku... Anyways, was AixSaki alright? XD Hmmm, did I make a reference to a graduated person? *shrugs*... Who knows when or even if Gaki shows up?
@rokun That just means I get to be evil to Ai in this fic if I want to. XD Why Jun? Saki is pretty screwed up emotionally and with her logic since she has 0 memories. She still seems to know the basics of things like language skills, morals, and stuff but yeah... Our past really effects our development in life. The kitten was so not supposed to be a reference. XD
@kano-chan Aww, I'm sorry but :mon squee: I was hoping for at least one response like yours. I might or might not fix this for you. Depends on if I magically end up loving the pairing. Who knows? They might even end up staying together. :twisted: I have warned you before that I like to mess with pairings. :lol:
@FaqU :mon inluv: Such a long comment. You really are my sadistic tutor. You just had to go and prove me wrong. Well, there should be more MiyAiri explanation coming up soon. The stage dream crumbled because Ai-senpai fails at controlling her power. I think I just like to torture Captain even though I love her. XD She basically ruined her own relationship. That's one of the few times it sucks to be a leader. The figure from Momo's dream is the girl and she brought the black tiger during the second time Saki went into Miya's dream. 'Not again' = Yay for Ai messing up twice. I don't know why I like to make Ai mess up so much. S/mileage aren't the only kouhai. They just happen to be the only ones that are a main group. The eggs don't even exist huh? :lol: When you wake up and don't remember anything, I would expect that you would either go crazy and want to be alone or go crazy and cling to the first person who seems to know you. Even if it's neither, you'd still be confused as hell which makes it hard to make sense yourself. You just made me realize something... How many people did I make fall in love with Captain? 1,2,3, 4... Alright, it's only at 4. XD
