Reposted Note: Hehe, since this chapter got so many people's attention, I'll update when I get 35 or more reviews. I'm not being greedy, but I really want to know how many more people's attention I'll be able to receive, since it'll take a LONG while before I get chapter 5 up.

Watch Me Shine
Disclaimer-I don't own Digimon =/.
This chapter is a little lame to me, but then you need to know in order to understand the next chapter, which will be better since Sora and Mimi would be cops by then.
Previous Chapter
Kurisu took out his small, silver gun and aimed it at Sora. "Say good bye, sweetie."
Sora was about to reach for her gun when...
BOOM! BOOM!
Chapter 4 Joining Counter Unit
Sora shut her eyes as she heard the gun shooting. 'This is it, I went to hell!,' thought Sora.
Next thing she heard was a loud thud.
She was about to think that was her body thudding when she realized her feet were standing on something and the rest of her body wasn't even near any wall or object.
Her eyes fluttered open to see a dead Kurisu on the ground with a puddle of blood around his head. She looked past Kurisu to see Mimi, still holding her gun, but at her side. Mimi turned to her partner in crime and smiled. "I always got your back!"
Sora smiled. "Of course."
Serena's (Sora's) and Mina's (Mimi's) House Morning 8:30 AM
Sora was eating breakfast while watching the news on their silver big screen TV in their living room. She was still in her orange lined red pajamas that had pink stripes along around the pajamas randomly.
The anchorwoman on the screen was talking about the Kurisu incident and Sora just smirked.
"Hey, Mimi, get in here, you have to see the news!" screamed Sora, smiling at the screen.
Mimi came in from the kitchen wearing a hot pink button up shirt with her sleeves rolled up, and a red skirt that reached up to her knees. Over that she wore an orange apron with pockets around the waist. Her hair was tied into a simple ponytail. "What, Sora?"
Sora, who was chewing on her cereal, simply pointed at the screen where a middle aged brown haired woman wearing a green suit talking to them.
There was a box next to her head that showed the alley that they were at last night, but this time it was day and there was a white sheet covering Kurisu's body.
The box zoomed in and took over the whole screen and then replacing the scene of the dead body was a close up with a man that had short navy blue hair wearing glasses. At the bottom of the screen read in white letters against a blue background, "Kido Jyou: Odaiba Counter Unit Head Inspector"
"We will get to the bottom of this, this case should be cracked soon since there are only two members of the Red Dragons left," said Jyou on the screen, looking very determined.
Next was a close up with a man with wild brown hair, who was known as Yagami Taichi, with an anchorwoman that looked almost like the one in the green suit, but was wearing a pink suit instead.
"Yagami sir, what do you think of this Red Dragons case?" asked the anchorwoman, pointing her black microphone at Taichi.
Taichi straightened up. "Ahem, well, it's a very tough case, you see, so I am thinking it's well, a very tough case."
The anchorwoman sweat dropped. "Okay, well, what do you have to say for the criminals that killed most of the Red Dragons crew?"
"If you are males that killed them, you will be dead!" screamed Taichi, very loudly with his face getting puffy making his face reddened.
The anchorwoman flinched and then said, "If they are females?"
Taichi's face softened a lot. "If they are females, well, they can hack into the Counter Unit's system anytime to get my number or address." He winked and then got shoved by Jyou who took full screen.
"Please excuse him, and to all of you female hackers out there, don't even try hacking!" said Jyou, angrily.
Mimi raised an eyebrow at the screen. "That man is weird."
Sora nodded. "Hey, Mimi, you locked the floppy with the orb last night right?"
Mimi forgot all about the disk. "Nope, let me go search for it before I forget."
Sora nodded as Mimi left the room for the stairs to the basement where the white laundry hamper was.
Every Monday they would bring home their criminal clothing and clean it. Mimi began to dig into the hamper for her black disguise and took it out when she found it.
She emptied all its contents to see no floppy disk. She rechecked and still didn't find anything left in it. Then suddenly she remembered.
Flashback
Being in a rush, she didn't look where she was going when she got out of the alleyway, and bumped into something, more like someone, and that someone knocked down someone number two.
"Gomen-nasai!" said Mimi, in a rush as she ran off to the direction the two she bumped into had come from.
Not realizing it, but a clank was heard as a flat, blue object fell out of Mimi's pocket.
End Flashback
"KUSO!!" screamed Mimi, which wasn't what she had in mind of doing.
Sora ran down the pink carpet stairs down to the basement and stopped at the last step staring strangely at Mimi who was holding onto her criminal suit next to the hamper. She scratched her head and asked, "Mimi, you screamed for?"
"The disk is...is..." began Mimi, yet could not finish because she was mad at herself for not looking back when she bumped into the men.
Sora sat on the step. "Is?"
"Is gone!" finished Mimi.
Sora's eyes widened. "Gosh, please you're kidding me, Mimi."
"No, I'm not," said Mimi. Soon she began to tell her what happened last night.
After she was done, all Sora could do was begin thinking. "Hey, Mimi, do you remember what the men looked like?"
Mimi tried to remember. "I'm not sure, but all I can remember was a guy with wild brown hair and another with blond."
Sora rubbed her chin and then walked back upstairs, on the way, she screamed, "Be right back!"
Mimi stared at the stairs until finally Sora came down, holding Mimi's laptop.
Sora sat back down on her step and opened the laptop.
After a few minutes she screamed, "Aha!"
Mimi, who was daydreaming, jumped. "Stop that, Sora!"
Sora looked up. "Sorry, but come here." She patted on the space next to her.
Mimi dropped back her black disguise into the hamper and sat down next to Sora. She saw her laptop screen with the words, Odaiba Counter Unit System. Soon Sora typed in more words and then the database for all officers appeared, beginning with the bio and picture of a young man with short brown hair. (That would be Ryo.) Sora pressed the B button many times as if to click next, until they finally reached the picture of Yagami Taichi.
Sora looked at Mimi. "Was that him? The wild haired man?"
Mimi looked closely and nodded.
"Most likely, the disk is at that highly trained police station," said Mimi, making a conclusion.
"More like police business building," said Sora, since she always passes by it when she goes grocery shopping. "The building is bigger than any other police station."
"Wow," said Mimi.
"You know what?" asked Sora.
"What?"
"Maybe we should work as cops," said Sora, looking at the ceiling.
"Why?" asked Mimi, thinking the idea is insane since they were criminals.
"We can get back the disk and well, maybe we should I don't know, consider refilling our parents' seats," said Sora, taking a glance at Mimi.
Mimi looked down at her legs. "It has been a long time."
"And our parents were always wanting us to fulfill their dreams," said Sora.
"And we are already able to become one," said Mimi, looking back up in determination.
"Let's do it!" they said in unison turning to each other and pump their fists in the air.
"I'll go get the applications," said Sora, putting Mimi's laptop on her lap and ran upstairs. "We can still make it to there today, if we hand in applications at nine!"
Odaiba Counter Unit Morning 9:34 AM
"This is so stupid!" screamed a purple haired girl. She was sitting at her desk, with her legs crossed on her desk, as she used her green T-shirt to clean her glasses. Her brown eyes stared blankly at her glasses while showing sign of exhaustion. Her designer red hat flopped down onto the floor as her head drooped.
Tai, whose desk was in front of hers, screamed, "Shut up, I'm trying to sleep here!" He grabbed an orange pillow from his drawer and shoved it against his face as he drooped towards the desk.
Ryo came into the room, yawning. He took a sip of coffee from his Christmas themed mug. He looked at the purple haired woman, and said, "Miyako, didn't you clean it enough for the past hour?"
"I'm bored," said Miyako, eyes fluttering back open. "I'm so bored that I would rather do those cases the regular policemen would do! Like an old lady stealing a pretty girl's wallet when they bump into each other. At least I will get to yell at someone."
"Want?" asked Ryo, handing his mug to Miyako.
Miyako eyed it and remembered Ryo's saliva was there before. "No, thanks."
Koushiro came out of the meeting room and closed the door. He went down the spiral staircase to the same floor the others were on as Tai looked up from his pillow and watched him.
"So, Koushiro, you found the password yet?" asked Tai, meaning the disk.
Koushiro yawned and eyed Ryo's mug jealously, needing something to drink. "No, that criminal must be a great hacker for me not to be able to hack into it that easily. I tried all my tricks and still, 'Access Denied.'"
"Keep trying," said Tai, waving him off as he dropped his head back onto the pillow.
Koushiro shrugged and went into the room Ryo had come out of before.
Ryo eyed Miyako and Tai. "You two are party poopers." He looked around and saw almost everyone half asleep except a man by the name of Hida Iori, who had sleek, dark brown hair that looks like it's stuck on his head.
Ryo was about to go to him and chat when Iori's head drooped backwards and fell asleep. He sighed and looked around to see if anyone would be awake still for him to chat with. He saw Rika using the computer at her desk, and he smiled. He quickly took the opportunity before she, too, fall asleep from boredom.
Rika looked up from her solitaire game and glared at Ryo. "What do you want?"
"To talk, Rika, so chill, man, everyone is so tired," said Ryo. "I think only you and I were the only ones that had a good amount of sleep last night."
Rika raised an eyebrow and then continued her solitaire game on the computer.
"So are you winning?"
Rika didn't bother to look up and said, "Bug off, Ryo."
Ryo leaned forward over the computer, which provoked Rika's temper.
Rika got up and smiled at Ryo, who was very dumb to believe she was actually happy.
She walked closer to him, still smiling, but this time more seductively, which made Ryo feel as if he was in a desert. When she was close enough, she punched Ryo in the stomach.
Ryo's face turned painful and started screaming at the top of his lungs in pain.
Yamato and Jyou came out of the meeting room to see what was wrong, and when they saw Ryo and Rika next to each other, they rolled their eyes and went back inside.
Tai woke up screaming, "I didn't take anyone's rubber duckies, and I was only using them for a project!"
That surprised Miyako, who fell off her chair, and Iori fell backwards on his.
Ryo glared at Rika. "I'm getting away from you! Can't believe my sexiness got you like that!"
Tai smirked as he heard what Ryo said and went back to snoozeville.
Ryo looked around, as Rika sat back down at her chair.
A young woman with waist length, black hair with blue highlights came into the room. She pushed back up her silver rimmed glasses as her emerald eyes stared at the blue file in her arms. She was wearing a white, silk button up shirt, a short, navy blue skirt with a silver gun in the holster of her brown belt. Her black high heeled shoes made loud walking sounds as she came in.
Ryo turned to the entrance of the room and screamed, "Areina!"
The woman looked up and saw the whole room bored except Ryo. She knew this could be bad so she immediately turned her heel back out and ran down the hall as Ryo came out.
"Hey, Areina, wait for me!" screamed Ryo.
Odaiba Counter Unit Training Center Morning 10:45 PM
Mimi and Sora stood outside the training center with eight other people in the sunlight waiting for their instructor. They were all wearing olive green T-shirts and olive green sweatpants.
The training center was not much far away than the actually building of Odaiba Counter Unit.
Soon an elderly man came into view. He was wearing an olive green hat which read OCU in blue, and everything else was the same as the ten people except he had his name, Aran, stitched on near the heart in blue. He had a large, black beard, while his sunglasses covered the colors of his eyes. He was also holding a clipboard with him.
"Welcome to Odaiba Counter Unit Training Center, where you'll be testing your skills to see if you can make it into the top best or not," said the man in a raspy voice. "I'm Aran, and I'll be the judge to see if you proved yourself or not. Now first we want to see how skillful you are at jogging since many people think the ideal thing as a cop is chasing a criminal."
He observed each and everyone of them. "You guys are here to see if you can get into the Mega team, and remember this, only two of you can make it in, so wish your friend next to you good luck or good bye, and there will be four rounds, two people getting dropped out in each." He looked at the ten again. "Understand?!"
"Yes, sir!" said the ten in unison.
"What are you waiting for?!" screamed Aran, glaring at the ten. "I want you to run around the building for eighteen laps! Go, go, go!!"
Two men got dropped out.
Next was persuasion, which was involving an officer pretending to commit suicide.
In this round, a woman and a man got dropped out.
The third round was hacking.
The six finalists were each placed a golden bell next to each of their computers. The bell was also connected to a timer and when the person is done hacking, they would ring the bell and stop the timer.
Mimi was the first to be done, and when Aran looked at the timer, he was amazed. "Why you even beat the great Koushiro!"
Sora was second to be done.
The last two that were done, got dropped out.
The final round was aiming and shooting.
Aran stood in front of the last four. "Okay, now this round will determine if you get in or not."
The four began to take their positions in front of life size poster boards that represent animated thieves. The four also each had a training center gun to shoot at the poster boards.
"Now, kiddies, these poster boards will move and I want you to shoot the heart, and if two of you succeed very well as of the center of the heart, then you pass and you're in, but if you're not, then I suggest you to leave," said Aran. "At the sound of my whistle, you can concentrate on shooting."
He took out a yellow whistle and blew into it.
The other two shot their boards before the boards began to move, which both landed on the side of the heart. They smirked at Mimi and Sora since they still haven't shoot yet.
The two watched carefully at their zigzagging boards and finally they both shot that the same time.
Aran measured all four poster boards where the bullets had hit and then walked up to them. "The two that will be in are..." He smiled, saying, "Tabuchi Serena and Takagawa Mina, congrats both of you!" (By the way, the girls only keep their real names as criminals.)
The two girls grinned and then screamed in joy. "Arigato, Aran!!"
The other two women glared at them and one asked, "But we hit the heart!"
Aran cleared his throat. "You hit the side while they hit the center."
The two girls gasped and glared jealously at Sora and Mimi who smirked in return.
"Man, you two are even better than Ishida Yamato, the one that came the closest to the center, but you hit directly!" said Aran, proud.
The two girls smiled again.
Odaiba Counter Unit Afternoon 12:00 PM
Jyou came down the stairs with Yamato by his side.
The others at the floor quickly looked up and saw them come down.
"Everyone, gather around," said Jyou, as everyone did as they were told. "Okay, well, the disk that was found, is still not hacked into yet, and since there's not a crime going on today, I am very sorry to have told you only to focus on work since there's not much to do."
"That's all you can say?" asked Tai, clutching his pillow to his stomach tightly. "We were bored as hell when we came back from that spooky alley and this is what we get?!"
"Yeah, no invites to lunch?!" asked Ryo.
Soon the crowd was each demanding something, and Jyou really didn't want to waste his money on their lunch since he knew Daisuke, Ryo, and Tai would order the most food anyone can imagine.
Two pairs of footsteps could be heard in the hallway and soon the owners of them pushed open the double doors into the room to reveal a young man and a woman next to him, both holding bags of food.
The woman had straight, shoulder length, brown hair with her brown eyes shining brightly with happiness. She was wearing a white T-shirt, with her ID which read, Yagami Hikari, on it hanging from around her neck. She was also wearing gray woman khaki pants.
The man by her side was like a younger twin of Yamato, except he wore a dark green hat sideways. He was also wearing a light green T-shirt and blue baggy pants. Next to the pants' pockets hung his ID which read, Takaishi Takeru.
"Lunchtime everyone!" screamed the two in unison.
A man with spiky, brown hair along with Taichi and Ryo, began drooling as they ran towards the two.
"Poor Hikari," said Miyako to Areina.
"Poor Takeru," said Areina to Miyako, as they watched the two getting trampled.
Soon everyone began eating.
"So does that mean I don't need to invite for lunch?" asked Jyou, smiling weakly.
"Not today," said Taichi, munching happily next to him.
Jyou sighed in relief.
"Tomorrow," said Ryo, munching on the other side of Jyou.
Jyou frowned and everyone laughed.
The laughing was stopped as two pair of footsteps stopped at the double doors. It was opened to reveal...
