Ch. 1 - Newcomer
"Ugh!" she grunted, moving out of the way to avoid the punch that had been thrown her way.
She quickly moved behind the older woman and twisted her arm behind her back.
The older woman smirked. "Don't underestimate me." She took the younger girl's arm with her free hand and tossed her over her head. The girl landed on the tatami mat and moaned softly. The older woman began to walk out of the room, but the girl reached for her ankle, grabbed it, and swung her across the room. The woman landed against the wall with the thud.
The girl smiled triumphantly. "Don't underestimate me either, Okaa-san."
The woman smiled. "I raised you well, Momo."
"I'm going to go change, ne?"
"Alright. Come to my office afterwards. I have another mission for you."
Momo frowned. "Another one? Didn't I just come home yesterday from one?"
"I'm sorry. This one is top secret and dangerous. You're our best spy -Japan'sbest teen spy- so we all chose you to take this one."
"But, Okaa-san, when will I ever get back to school? I've missed a month already! I never get to see any of my friends anymore!"
"You get to see Rukia," her mother pointed out.
"Yeah, but that's because she's also a spy. I never see any of my normal friends."
The doors opened to the practice area to reveal a woman with dark, tan skin and purple hair. She wore her hair in a high ponytail on top of her head, and she greeted them with a smile.
"Ohayo, Aunt Yoruchi." (A/N – This will be the only time that I'm putting Aunt Yoruchi. Momo will call her Yoruichi-san. The only reason I put "Aunt Yoruichi" was to tell you that she is Momo's aunt; her father's… cousin.)
"Yoruichi," her mother said, "what is it?"
"He's here, Soifon." (Ahhhh… yes, she's Momo's mom…. I didn't know any other woman who looks a little like Momo that's good in martial arts… Like I said, she's very OC…)
"Already? Momo, remember to meet me in my office when you're done changing," Soifon said before leaving the room. Momo got up from the floor and grabbed her bag of clothes that was in the corner of the room.
Another mission… When will I ever receive a break? It's pretty tough… being the great-great-great-great granddaughter of the man who founded this agency. My father just had to be a direct descent of him and inherit the agency along with my mother. Oh, well… I kind of like the life of a spy. It's fun.

Momo slowly pushed the doors to her mother's office open. She peeked her head through. "Okaa-san? You wanted to see me?"
Soifon, who was in the middle of a conversation with some people, looked up to see her daughter standing in her office. "Momo! Ah, yes. We need to discuss about your next mission."
Momo eyed the people in the room, making sure there wasn't some guy or girl whom looked… bad. She knew most of them. She nodded her head slowly, taking a seat in front of her mother's bureau and watched as everyone left the room.
"Momo, as you know, you're mission will begin soon. You will possibly go as soon as Thursday. We, the council, do not think it will be convenient for you guys to show up so early. Since today is only Monday, you will have one day in school, Tuesday, and then you will have one day to gather all of your equipment, Wednesday."
"You… guys? I have a partner?"
"Yes. Yes, you do."
"Who? Is it Rukia?" Momo asked excitedly.
"No, I'm afraid not. It's a newcomer. He just came today."
"A… newcomer?" Momo asked her mother disappointedly. "You mean I have to… train… this… newcomer? But, he'll slow me down on this mission!"
"Momo, he's a newcomer to this agency. That doesn't mean automatically that he's a trainee. He's a top agent from China."
"China? I have to work with some Chinese boy? Does that mean I have to speak Chinese with him 24/7?"
"He knows Japanese. He was born in Japan and moved to China when he was little. He knows every language you know. Do remember that this boy is a top agent like you. He's really good. He should know everything you know…" her mother hesitated before saying anything else.
"…Maybe even more? That's what you were about to say, right?"
"Well… I don't know if he knows more than you do, but together, you should be a great team."
Momo mumbled, "If you mean being cocky and showing off skills, then, sure…."
"Please, Momo? You have to give him a chance."
"Sure, whatever. Anyways, so what's the mission?"
Her mother opened up a file and showed her the contents. "It seems to be that students from a high school in Osaka are missing. They've disappeared. I need you and your partner to figure out who did it and protect any other students from disappearing."
"Disappearing students in Osaka? This is why I need a partner?"
"This is a dangerous case, Momo."
"I've done more dangerous cases than this."
"What happens if the kidnapper mistakes you for a student and kidnaps you too? I don't want you getting hurt, so that's why I hired this extra hand for you."
Momo smiled. "So this isn't about me not being good but more about me being safe."
"Exactly."
"Then why do we need partners from China? Couldn't we just get a top spy from a different agency in Japan?"
"You know that this agency is the top in Japan."
"Still. Why… China?"
"No one can protect you as much as he can for you are the top agent in this country."
"Okay…."
"Anymore questions?"
"Yes, one more. Where's this… newcomer right now?"
"He said he was going to go train while I talked to you."
"Well, then…. " Momo said, getting up from her seat. She had her bag of clothes in her hand, and she knew where this newcomer would likely be so…
"Momo," her mother said sternly, knowing what her daughter was about to do.
Her daughter smirked. "I just want to know how strong this guy really is," she said innocently, heading towards the door.
"He's not your average guy so be careful, okay?"
"Meaning… I don't have to go easy on him? Yes!" Momo exclaimed. About to walk out of the door, Momo came to a halt and backtracked her steps. She turned around. "What's his name, Okaa-san?"
Her mother grinned. "Hitsugaya Toshirou."
"Arigato, Okaa-san!" Momo rushed out of the office and headed straight towards the girls' locker room. After she finished changing, she headed towards training area #5, the closest one to her mother's office.
Momo slipped into the room quietly, going unnoticed. She saw a guy training with some punching bags. He had short, white hair and wasn't the tallest guy on earth. Sure, he was taller than she was, but a lot of guys that she knew were a whole lot taller than him. So, basically, he was short - for a guy. He was wearing what every other spy wore while training, black karate pants and a black martial arts shirt with a white, cotton sash. She couldn't see his eyes for his back was facing her way.
"Hey!" she called out. He stopped punching and turned around, glaring at her. "Who are you, and what do you want?" he asked her, scowling.
She paused for a minute, looking at his eyes. They were really pretty and extraordinary, unlike hers. They were icy, emerald colored eyes, and although they were only colored emerald, they looked like the real thing. "Well?" he asked impatiently.
She snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh. I'm Hinamori Momo, the top agent here besides my mother and aunt. I heard you're my partner for my next mission, Hitsugaya Toshirou. What I want is a fight, just a little "hands on experiment"." He laughed for a minute of two and then trailed off because he noticed she was being quiet.
"What? You were serious? A fight between you and me?"
Momo tapped her foot impatiently and scowled. She knew he was going to act like this. She added in a sickly sweet tone, "Is it too hard for you to understand?"
"No… it's just…" he paused, thinking of how to say it, "you're a girl, and I'm a guy."
Momo frowned. "What are you, a chauvinist?"
"I never said that."
"You implied it. When you said that I'm a girl, and you're a guy, you're implying that you don't think I can fight because I'm a girl, and you can because you're a guy. Well, guess what? That implication is wrong. I'm a girl, and I can fight, just like you."
"Well, if you think you're up to it, let's go," he said, getting into a stance. Momo stood there and gave him a look like he was the stupidest guy in the agency. When he took no heed or hint of her look, she glanced back at the punching bags and then back at him. "Oh," he muttered, getting out of his stance to move the bags out of the way.
"Wow, he sure is the top spy of China," Momo muttered, getting into her fighting stance. Watching Toshirou come back and get into his fighting stance, she smirked. He smirked too and asked, "Ready?"
Before she could answer, she was picked up from the ground from her torso. She smirked and kicked his stomach before performing a back flip in the air. She landed on her feet and seeing him pant, said, "That wasn't evenmy easy. Still think girls can't fight?"
He flinched before standing up straight. "That was only the basics. I've got more up my sleeve."
Sarcastically, she replied, "Uhuh, sure." He headed straight towards her, and she quickly moved out of his way and grabbed his arm, throwing him across the room. She yawned, "Wow, is this really boring."
Before she knew it, she was pinned on the ground, his hands gripping on each arm. She tried to get out of his grip, but he didn't budge. "Don't underestimate me," he whispered. Her face held a wry countenance as she looked up at him. A knock was heard at the door. "Momo?" her mother's voice called. "We should get going now."
Sensing the distraction within Toshirou, she turned it around to where he was on the floor, but his stomach was facing the ground, and his hands were twisted behind his back and held tightly by Momo. "Ouch," he hissed. She growled, "Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl." With that, she threw him against the wall once again. Smiling successfully, she said, "Hope we have a better fight next time!" She turned on her heels and took a step closer to the door with her bag in hand.
Not even another step, she was pushed back against the wall with his hands around her throat. She wasn't surprised. She knew this was coming, and besides, she had been trained to hold her breath up to thirty minutes, so this wasn't too bad.
She quietly raised her hand up to her throat and pierced his skin with her nail. He flinched, but that was the only reaction he made. Seeing no other reaction besides the flinch, Momo dug deeper in his skin until it bled. He let go and flicked his arm back and forth as to get rid of the pain.
"Shit. You made it bleed," he muttered as he wiped the blood off of his hand.
"Momo! Let's go already!" her mother shouted as she banged on the screen slide door.
Momo smiled and picked up her bag that had been dropped on the floor when he pushed her against the wall. "I got to go. That was a nice fight. But," she paused as she slid the door open, "next time, fight me with all you've got." And she left.
"Damn that girl," Toshirou cursed as he gathered his belongings and left to go change. "I shouldn't have gone so easy on her." Toshirou, who was 17 and a junior in high school, slowly took off his shirt in the guys' locker room. He sat down on the locker bench and started to think – a very common thing in his nature. He opened the profile that he received from his agency.
Hinamori Momo. Top spy, besides her mother and aunt, of Japan. Fifteen, turning sixteen on June the third. Has only had two past relationships in which both failed. Her first boyfriend was Kurosaki Ichigo, but they both broke up due to the fact that they never really loved each other. Kurosaki now has a girlfriend named Inoue Orihime, a sophomore, classmate, and friend of Hinamori. Her second boyfriend, Izuru Kira, dumped her for another girl, Aki Miyako- the school slut.
Hinamori's father is deceased, dying from a deadly disease known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome, also known as AIDS. He received this disease when he traveled to southern Africa for a mission. His name was Hinamori Kyo, and he inherited Japan's top spy agency. After dying, his will stated that he wanted to give his agency to his wife, Hinamori Soifon, and his daughter, Hinamori Momo. Hinamori Yoruichi is the cousin of Hinamori Kyo and aunt of Hinamori Momo. She helps Hinamori Soifon handle the agency, basically like the secretary.
He stopped reading for a bit as he analyzed the family photo at the bottom. It stated that the picture had been taken when she was twelve, when her father was still alive. If she was fifteen now, it meant that her father died three years ago. She was standing in-between her father and mother, a big smile painted on her face. Her hair was put up in two pigtails with two dog clips on each side.
As he read the rest of the information in the profile, one word popped into his mind,Rematch.
-X-
"So, how was the fight?" Soifon asked her daughter as she opened the door to their house.
"Mmm… It was okay. He didn't use all his strength on me though…" her daughter replied, placing her bag on the floor.
"What do you mean?"
"He could've been better, but because I was a girl, he went easy on me."
"He's sexist?"
"He's a shitty chauvinist pig," she retorted, opening the refrigerator door to get something to eat. Seeing nothing, she closed the door and opened the pantry door to grab a cup of Ramen.
"Momo," her mother said sternly, also grabbing a cup.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. "No cussing". Well, I can't help it. He's just so… UGH!" she grumbled, heating up the water in the kettle.
"But… is he okay as your partner?"
"As long as he stops being so sexist. That's the main reason why he lost today."
"He lost?"
Momo paused to think. "No… Not really. We both kind of lost. I guess… Last thing was that I pierced his skin, and then you said I had to go."
"I guess you won then."
"We're probably going to rematch it."
"You agreed on that?"
"No, but I want to, and if I have to, I'll force him to."
"Momo," her mother said as she took the kettle off the stove and poured it into each of their cups, "I'm glad you're really into this, but you shouldn't force someone to do something against their will – unless you have to, and I mean HAVE to do it, like when you're arresting somebody."
She swallowed the noodles in her mouth before answering, "I'm still forcing him to."
Her mother sighed as she threw away the cup of Ramen and tossed the chopsticks into the sink. "I guess I can't force you to stop…"
"You bet!" she exclaimed, following her mother's examples. "I'm going to go catch up on homework. I have four week's worth for all those days that I missed."
"All right."
Momo walked to her room and closed the door behind her. She took her laptop from under her bed out and turned it on. Going to a search engine, she typed in "Hitsugaya Toshirou". Many entries showed up of him. She clicked on one website that was in Chinese, but since she learned that language when she was four, she read it with ease.

Momo started to laugh like crazy. Her laughter started to die down, and she murmured, "Wow, people sure are freaking weird these days…. Oh, the page ended. Okay… well, that was interesting. Hmmm… I guess I should print this out as information…" She walked over to a drawer and took out some wires and a folder and walked back over to her laptop. Momo connected the wires to her laptop and to a printer in her room. She clicked "Print". She walked over to the printer and took the sheets of paper that were printed. "Good." She stuck them in a folder and labeled the folder "MISSION OSAKA – DISAPPEARING STUDENTS".
She walked to her laptop and typed in, "Missing students in Osaka." Very few entries were there. She guessed very little was known about the disappearance.
She clicked on the first entry.
Lately in Osaka, a variety of students have disappeared. All of the students come from the high school, Yamada High in the prefecture Suita. One mother says she thinks that the principal took them for he was gone from school for a month. A teacher says that that is impossible for principal Ibu had taken a trip to America. Many officers say that Mr. Ibu is the top suspect, but they cannot get in contact with him at the moment to question him. This mission has been opened for a week, but investigators say that the more clues they find, the colder the case gets.
The following students have gone missing.

"Wow," Momo murmured as she printed the page and pictures that followed it out. She took the sheets of paper and stuck them in her mission folder. "This is getting interesting."
-X-
She shrieked. Banging on the metal door, she hollered, "Let me out! Please! Let me out! Don't leave me here."
A masculine voice said in the dark, "Shut up, will you?"
"No!" she screeched, turning to face the voice. "I'm doing my best to get us out of here! Do you have a better plan?!"
"No, but-"
"Then you should just shut up yourself!"
"Screaming isn't helping us at all," another feminine voice retorted. She sat in the corner, fiddling with her skirt.
They all heard a scream from behind the door. "What was that?" the first girl whispered.
"I don't know," one guy answered.
The door was quickly opened and a girl was thrust inside. A man towered over all of them, glaring. "WILL YOU SHUT UP!? Here's another one of you! Get in there, bitch!"
The teenaged girl tumbled inside and fell on the floor. She groaned as the door shut with a bang, and the lock from the outside went back in place.
The girl who was fiddling with her skirt was the first to speak up. "Now, that makes six."
-X-
"Momo! Oh my gosh! You've been out of school for so long! How are you? Your mother said you caught a disease. Leukemia, I think. Was it horrible?" Orihime asked as she hugged her long time no-see friend. Momo sweat dropped. Leukemia? Dramatic much….
"Uh, I guess," she answered softly. "I've missed you guys soo much? How's school?"
Orihime's eyes held a twinkle in them. "Izuru broke up with that slut."
Momo's eyes widened. "Seriously?"
Tatsuki scowled. "Do you want to go out with him again?"
"No," she said timidly, "I'm just wondering."
"Wow, is that the new guy? He is sooo dreamy!" a girl gushed to her friend in the distance, sighing dramatically.
"Oh! I know who he is! He's number three on China's most wanted bachelors list."
Momo turned around, hearing what she read last night on Toshirou's fan's website. And she saw him. She saw Toshirou.
