Phew... I was able to post it right before 12 midnight. About who it as in the first CH... well I just want to clear the air on this.. It's definately not Kaori. To me that just looks wrong.... everyone else is a possible candidate. Except for Nakazawa, she wasn't in MM for Mr. Moonlight.
Oh and Sorry for the long ass chapter here. Just wanted to get the ball moving.
For the record, this is not a "fluff" or an "Angst", it's a "Flangst"
. Expect to see both
Anywho....
Dozou!

CH.2 “Wagering is the only way big kids know how to play”The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet. -Damon Runyon(2 years later)
In some random dressing room within the building that belonged to the ever so well known Hello!Project Record label a couple began to play the way that couples usually do.
“Za-kun!” Aya attempted to push her self away from her lover who was trying to eat her ear alive. She soon found out that they were all tangled up a little to well.
“Shhhh… you know that name is only for private” Za-kun place their index finger on Aya’s lips.
“Look who’s talking about privacy?” Aya gave a playful glare “and you know fun things like this is for private too” Za-kun let out let out a sigh and got off of Aya.
“It’s your fault” Za-kun pointed at the costume Aya was wearing. Then, finally was struck by a revelation. Aya’s lover stood up with a livid face “Come to think of it who’s idea was it to dress you like that?” Za-kun no longer found what Aya’s apparel attractive, truth be told Za-kun was now found it out right offensive and disrespectful.
“Honestly!” Aya stood up and looked at Za-kun straight in the eye. “You know it’s part of the job”. Za-kun shifted uneasily under Aya’s gaze.
“I don’t understand how your manager can be so strict about us but suspiciously lenient about your clothes. Do you know what it is to be walking around in a short tank top, no a bra tank top and jeans. You’re basically naked” bipolarly Za-kun grabbed Aya by the shoulder and laid a big wet one on her. “You are irresistible, even I can’t control my self. I’m going to have a talk with your manager right now” Za-kun began to walk to the door when Aya grabbed the hoodie Za-kun was wearing. She pulled and pushed Za-kun on to the couch. She was giving her “shut up and watch” look as she jumped on her fallen prey.
“So you can’t control yourself? That’s a rare state indeed and I’m sure that you know I must take advantage.” As Aya leaned in to kiss Za-kun they heard someone knock on the door and clear their throat. It was Aya’s manager who was obviously not amused.
“Matsuura-san, you know better than this.” She had bored face pasted on her. “I don’t care what you do in your on time but while you’re on company time you behave.” Aya’s manager stared at Za-kun now “Was there something you wanted to address me about?” Za-kun decided to take the opportunity.
“Yeah… why is sh-” Za-Kun was then interrupted by Aya’s manager.
“She is wearing what she has to wear to fit the theme behind the music video for “Good Bye Natsuo. She is wearing what she must because that is her job. In fact she is right now doing her job” Aya’s maneger placed her hand behind Za-kun’s back and eloquently escorted Za-kun out. “She warned you of this way before you two decided to date, now have nice day and call her after work” with that said Aya’s manager closed door leaving the pissed off Za-kun out side, everything she had said was true and there was nothing that could be said about it.
“Damn it” Za-kun whispered. Then abruptly the door once again opened.
“And one more thing” Aya’s manager poked her head out “your manager just called me and told me to relay this message to you: Please come back to work Yoshizawa-san, we need to finish filming the PV” and as abruptly as the door had been opened it was closed. Yossy stood there for another two minuets to see if any further activity took place but all she could hear was the manager scolding Aya. This in return reminded her of the scolding she was about to hear.
Yossy began to walk back to the studio where they were filming. She had asked for a 5 minuet bathroom break and was now running 40 minuets over. She decided not to make her request a total lie and went to use the bathroom. Interestingly enough as she washed her hands she felt someone poke her arm.
“Found you” a familiar voice spoke. Yossy looked up to see who it was but only saw Ishikawa Rika.
“That wasn’t you, right?” Yossy asked. Rika shook her head to answer no. Yossy looked lower and found the owner of the slap with a very sullen stare peering into her.
“They separated us into search party’s to look for you” Rika finally talked. “You know we have time limit.” And the scolding begins.
“Brrrrr…” Yossy pretended to be cold “I don’t like this Rika-chan, I prefer Charmy. I want Charmy” Yossy began to mockingly cry. “Waaaah… this Rika-chan scares me”
“Yocchan this is no time to play around” Rika scowled, it always annoyed her when Yossy didn’t take her seriously. “Let’s go before my manager starts getting upset as well”. The group was walked out of the bathroom and had already reached the studio door when Yossy felt a tug on her left earlobe. She squinted to see what was causing the pain and found her mentor to be the one applying it.
“Itai yo!” Yossy said loudly “Mari-chan, let go it hurts”
“Yossy, you and I will speak after recording is done” Yaguchi let go of the girl who towerd her and walked straight into the studio. Everyone was getting ready to film the dance shot. One of the few parts everyone had been looking forward too. Yossy instinctively grabbed her ear.
“That looked painful” Rika stated.
“Yes, want me to do it to you?” Yossy smiled.
“No” Rika rolled her eyes “Let me see how bad the damage is” Rika removed Yossy's hand and grabbed a hold of the red earlobe. “Aww you poor thing” Rika said.
“Yeah I know, if they would have told me that my mentor was actually a tormentor I would have never accepted going into Morning Musu- itaitaitaitaitai” Yossy felt the familiar pain of someone pulling on her ear. This time it wasn’t her mentor, it was worse… it was evil Charmy.
"Next time please be less selfish" Rika let go of Yossy and followed Yaguchi into the studio.
"Damn women" Yossy breathed.
She walked into the studio to find everyone lazing around and talking. The gokkies were in there usual circle chatting away only difference was the site of seeing three more people in it. Apparently Ogawa Makoto had done what she's best at, "networking". She was really making the rokkies feel welcomed. That brought a smile to Yossy's face. The best company to have was Ogawa Makoto. There was just something about the girl that made everyone just feel at ease. Even Fujimoto who is considered difficult to approach liked having Makoto near, as long as she didn't get annoying. Yossy believed that it just had to be the girls smile. It wasn’t as eye catching as Niigaki’s but it certainly was more inviting.
Opposite of the gokkies were the senior members chatting away and reading the newspaper. When they all noticed Yossy finally came they all flashed a look. They were mad and they weren't trying to hide it either. Seeing that she wasn't in the mood to hear nonsense or in the mood to be scolded Yossy went to the table full of food where Nono and Aibon were located.
“Yossy~” Aibon squealed as hugged her favourite hug buddy.
“I see they found you” were the last words Nono spoke before stuffing bread in to her mouth.
“Yeah” Yossy smiled sheepishly and scratched her head. “Hey have any of you seen my manager?”
“Nope” answerd Nono. Aibon’s answer was the opposite.
“Actually, he was here when you went to the bathroom but when you didn't come back he freaked out and ran out looking for you.” Aibon looked up at Yossy and suddenly her eyes shifted and she was staring at something beyond Yossy “Don't look back now but Abe's coming up right behind you”. Yossy's smile chipped off like a noodle stuck to the wall. She suddenly felt a hand lightly rest on her shoulder.
“Guys, they're ready for us” she cheerfully said. “Come on let's go” she turned to look at Yossy. “by the way, your phone just received a text message. I mistook it for mine and read the message.” Yossy's eyes widen in fear. She hoped that it didn't say anything incriminating. “Apparently you left your pink cap with a certain... Ra-kun” the cheerfulness and wideness of Abe's eyes were gone, they had transformed into thin slits of angry suspicion. Yossy felt the fear that she had amplify. Thankfully they heard the director call them in a second time.
Whilst everyone else performed there were two figures that had watched everything take place.
“You think we should just jump out at them and say hi” asked the latest graduate to the leader of what we call H!P.
“No lets just leave them notes telling them they’re invited”
“Sure sounds like a good idea” nodded Kei-chan.
“Yes it is, so… I’ll meet you at the bar and we’ll then wait for everyone there” Nakazawa slapped her friend in the back “ganbatte”. Kei was stunned; she just got duped into writing and placing the letters. Before she had time react Nakazawa was already in a taxi cab.
“How does this always happen” Kei shook her head as she looked for pieces of paper and a pen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had arrived about two hours ago and had not stopped ordering drinks since then. The only two not drinking heavily were Abe and Yaguchi. They were both known for having sensitive tongues when it came down to drinks.
“So how are the new members turning out” Nakazawa asked.
“So far so good” Kaori answered. She took another swig from her cup.
“Yeah the only one being a bit rebellious is Fujimoto-san” Abe made sure to inform
Nakazawa of this.
“Nacchi, come on. Fujimoto is fine. She just needs to get used to the new idea.” Yaguchi defended Fujimoto. The 2nd gen member was actually quite fond of the new 6th one and sympathized with her situation.
“You only say that because you’re friends” Abe retorted.
“Well at least everything seems seamless” Kei spoke up. “Damn it could you guys stop moving it’s hard to keep up with you”
“Kei-chan” Yaguchi began to giggle her trademark giggle. “We’re sitting down, it’s impossible to move”
“Interesting, I’ve heard of people hallucinating when they drink too much” Kaori teased.
“Well, glad to see the team is still standing” Nakazawa lifted her cup for a toast.
“Kampai” they all said in unison and drank from their drinks.
“There is just one little odd ball I’ve been taking notice of though” Nakazawa spoke again. “What is up with Yoshizawa?” Abe and Kaori both sighed.
“We have a theory” Abe said.
“Oh? And what is it?”
“Well today Abe read one of her text messages and it was from some Ra-kun” Kaori explain.
“I see” Kei-chan lifted her head, there was a look of interest. “How coincidental”
“What do you mean Kei-chan” Yaguchi asked.
“No nothing. I don’t want to say anything until I confirm it.” Nobody else pushed Kei-
Chan to explain they very well that she wouldn’t, not until she had proof. “1 question though… what were you doing looking at her cell Abe?” Abe blushed lightly, she explained what happened but that didn’t seem to convince anyone.
“Returning to the topic, what are you guys planning on doing about this?” Nakazawa asked. Kaori, Abe and Yaguchi looked at each other. “Nothing huh?” the all shook their heads. “You know you have to break them up right?” they all nodded. Nakazawa laughed heartily. “I know we’re all a little” she shook her hand “tipsy, but I’m pretty sure we can still converse meaningful topics.” Kaori, Abe and Yaguchi once again looked at each other but now they were confused.
“Yuuchan, the only one not being able to hold a meaningful conversation here is you” Kei-spoke up.
“No no no, hear me out. Let’s make a little wager” Nakazawa grinned mischievously, right eyebrow became slightly higher than her left.
“Yuu-chan, what are you talking about?” Kei was starting to worry. Maybe Nakazawa was drunk but some how speaking clearly.
“We all know we can’t break her and her boyfriend up but they eventually will. So I was thinking of a way to keep her busy after they brake up. You know… so that she doesn’t have a boyfriend while in Morning Musume” everyone got closer to Nakazawa intrigued by this idea. “let’s put some girls in a competition to see who can steal Mr. Moonlights heart” every ones jaw dropped. They all thought the same thing:
THAT IS WRONG, THAT IS SICK, IT’S INHUMAN…. IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
