The Thing With Hajimes
Me: Well, since I had to wait to upload/ "write" stories, I decided, I'm going to start writing it down now so that I : A, don't lose the idea, B, don't forget, and C, its just plain easier and faster in my opinion
Karrie: The Thing With Hajimes, what a catchy title!
Me: Thank you
Kate: Anything we should know before the Disclaimer?
Me: Ahem, I'm using the characters' Japanese names as their last names, but that's only for the ones I actually know the Japanese names for. Some, well actually most, of the characters' last names will be made up to the best of my abilities since I don't feel like looking up a bunch of names.
Kellyn: Lazy
Karrie: *hits Kellyn on the head*
Kellyn: OW!
Keith: What'd I miss?
Me: *sweatdrop* You just got here now? Ugh, never mind! I need to tell the audience the four main characters' full names!
Kate: Go ahead...what do we call you anyway?
Me: My nickname is technically Ash, but you see, Ash is also a Pokemon trainer so...
Kate: We're rangers, not trainers, we don't care that much about those types of complications
Me: Ahem, you're not exactly rangers yet in the story
Kate: darn it
Me: Okay, four main characters are Kate Hitomi, Kellyn Hajime, Karrie Hajime, and Keith Dazzle
Karrie: Ah, now I see why the story title is called The Thing With Hajimes
Me: shush! I don't know why I made you to be so smart. You can become too smart for your own good sometimes.
Karrie: Well SOMEONE has to pick up on the intelligence department in my family!
Kellyn: Hey!
Me: Diclaimer person, any day now would be nice
Disclaimer: you're finished now?

Chapter 1: Old friend Hajime's Box
Kate Hitomi watched as a brunette boy with blue eyes exited his room.
Come on Kellyn, leave! Thought Kate. Kellyn, the brunette boy with blue eyes, turned and walked down the other end of the hallway, making his way to the library. Okay Kate, you have roughly about 15-20 min. before he gets back. Move it!
Kate doubled checked to see if the coast was clear and then hurried into the boy's room and quietly closed the door. She got out her screw driver and a small envelope that contained a letter.
Alright, I need to place the note for Kellyn somewhere he'll see it. Then, I am going to find out what is in that personal box of his.
She placed the letter on his bed figuring that he'll have to go there anyways. Then she quickly found his personal box with its annoying lock. She took her handy dandy screwdriver and started to work on prying the box open.
Come on, come one, come on! Open! I just want one little tiny peek...
It miraculously opened. She quickly lifted the lid off and went to grab a bunch of what looked like letters all bound together by elastic bands. She had just got it out was about to open one of the letters when she heard the door open.
Oh no, this must not look good to him.
"Kate." said a boy who was and is Kellyn Hajime. Kate refused to look at him nor answer him. She could imagine how angry he must have looked. "Kate, what are you doing in my room?"
"I, um, I..." she started to say then out of the corner of her eye should could see that Kellyn was trying to see over her to see what she was up too.
Oh, I must be blocking his view, too bad.
"Kate," replied Kellyn and he walked over. He only had taken a few steps when she heard him stop abruptly, that's when she knew he had saw what she had done. "Kate Hitomi, what are you doing? Looking through my stuff? MY personal box!"
"Kellyn, I just wanted to-" Kate replied.
"I told you it was off limits! Oh man, you even got in open!" interrupted Kellyn who was now obviously pacing angrily back and forth behind her.
"Kellyn, I-" started Kate.
"Did you see any thing?" asked Kellyn as he stopped pacing.
"Um, well, I saw stuff." replied Kate as she tried to some how stow away the letters she found without Kellyn noticing.
"What did you see Kate?" asked Kellyn in an angry tone that Kate hadn't heard from her old childhood friend in a long time.
"I saw that the box contained a few items." replied Kate. Kellyn sighed and Kate wished that it was a sigh of relief, but boy, was she wrong. Kellyn sat down next to her.
"What ever you took, give it to me." said Kellyn, though it was more like a demand, as he held out his hand to receive whatever she did take, though he wasn't exactly looking at Kate.
"Why would you think I took something?" asked Kate.
"Because I know you, I know you'd try to take something that you think may interest you." replied Kellyn. Kellyn should have known not to make the mistake of not looking at her. Kate hid the bundle of letters behind her back and slowly got up and made her way, almost making it to the door.
"Something that may interest me," started Kate as a devious little smile crept up on her face. "Something like letters?" Kellyn turned when he heard the word letters.
Oh no were the words that echoed inside of Kellyn's head as he got up as fast as he could and rushed at Kate as fast as he could to try to to prevent her from taking the bundle of letters with her. Kate realized she was in deep trouble and began to run for it, but it was futile. Kellyn had managed to get to the door first and he did something that surprised her more than it did make her nervous. He shut the door and then he went and he locked the door.
He had locked them in.
Correction, he had locked them in HIS room.
/~pokelover0ash~/
Kellyn had no idea what he was thinking when he locked himself in his room with Kate. Actually he did, he was thinking how he must prevent Kate from leaving at all cost. Of course he didn't think it through, it happen all too fast. He couldn't think straight. All he could really do was think that he had to get that bundle of letters back before Kate had a chance to read them.
"Kate, you can either give them to me the easy way or the hard way." said Kellyn. Kate clenched on to the bundle of letters for dear life. She seemed to coward away from him. This made him even more upset, and on top of that, confused.
Kate never really coward like that before. She stands her ground, that independent little... Kellyn mentally shook off his train of thought. Am I really that mad? Am I really that scaring looking? We're best friends! How come she's cowardly backing away like that?
"Sorry Kellyn, but I choose option: NONE OF THE ABOVE," replied Kate. Kellyn was mad enough as it was, this just made him so infuriated that he really lost all thought and probably lost all of his reasoning. He lunged at her, his best friend, but just when Kate thought he'd tackle her, he wrapped his arms around her.
/~pokelover0ash~/
When Kellyn lunged at her like that, Kate was frightened. She had only seen Kellyn this angry at the school bullies when they used to make fun of her spiky pig tails and that one time he had found his sister being tormented by the same bullies. It made her wonder though, what was in the letters. She prepared herself to be tackled but Kellyn did something unexpected, again.
He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him and then he titled his head so that his mouth was right next her face, almost touching her cheekbone with his lips. She felt his warmth encompass her, and it made her feel warm inside and out. She felt blush creeping up to her face.
"Are you going to give them to me now?" whispered Kellyn in her ear. Something about the way he said it made her heart skip a beat and her stomach to start to flutter. She found herself blushing in deeper shades of pink and red.
"I-I...I want to read them first." Kate managed to say with Kellyn's warm breath steaming onto her neck Kellyn released a sigh and then held her shoulders and looked down at Kate.
Curse him and the stupid character designers that made him taller than me!
Do not curse the character designers. They designed you and many others.
Fine random voice that's trying to remind me what is right and what is wrong in which I'm going to assume is the narrator.
Nope italicized bold words is me, the narrator/storyteller/pokelover0ash/Ash
Who's the bold?
The Disclaimer dude
Ah
"Kate," replied Kellyn still looking down on Kate.
His eyes are so deep, so many shades of Blue, they're filled with so much emotion. Wait, hold it! What am I thinking? This guy is Kellyn Hajime, my BFF and childhood friend.
"Kate." he started again, obviously trying to find the right words to say. "I, um, don't exactly feel comfortable with you reading them..." He started to turn a rosy red from the rising blush.
"Why? I'm your best friend, we've been friends since we were two. What's wrong with me reading a few old letters of yours?" asked Kate, determined to have her way.
"I know we're best friends Kate, I know we've been friends since we were two," replied Kellyn as he went to fix his best friend's messy bangs which caused Kate to blush even more. "I know there isn't really much that we keep from each other, but, these 'few old letters' are personal, and besides, you're not going to find any reply letters in there." Kellyn let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Why would there be no reply letters?" asked Kate and Kellyn turned around, obviously regretting telling her that little piece of information.
/~pokelover0ash~/
I should have seen that coming. Why did I have to open my big mouth and tell her that?
Kellyn had turned away to conceal his ever deepening blush that was quickly rising.
I can't tell her because then she'll want to read them. Oh, why didn't I burn those letters I wrote to myself when I had the chance? If she reads them, not only will I be embarrassed, she'll know and who knows what will become of our relationship then. I have to distract her so that I can get the letters back.
"Kellyn Hajime, answer my question!" replied Kate fiercely.
"I can't." Kellyn admitted.
"Why not?" asked Kate.
"Maybe someday I'll let you read the letters and look through my personal box, but for now, please put them back and promise me you won't even attempt opening the box ever again without my permission." replied Kellyn.
"You promise?" asked Kate.
"Yeah, I promise." replied Kellyn.
"Then here." said Kate as she handed him the bundle of letters.
"Thank you Kate." replied Kellyn as a relief flooded through him. He went and he put them carefully in the box and then put the lid on and then made sure the lock was on, locked, and tight. He then noticed that Kate had taken a seat on his bed and was fiddling with something that looked like paper. Both of them caught each other's eyes, and gaze. Kate blushed and looked away which intrigued Kellyn since she never did that before, at least not to him any ways. He glanced away when he realized that he was starting to blush as well.
Damn, has my feelings really have developed this far?
"Um, Kellyn?" said Kate with a trembling, nervous voice.
"Yes Kate?" asked Kellyn as he turned to look at her again.
"I'm, I'm sorry." confessed Kate with rosy red cheeks. "I shouldn't have sneaked in your room and go through your stuff like that."
Man, does she look cute when she's blushing like that. Kellyn blushed at the thought but then soon realized that he needed to answer his friend.
"I forgive you Kate." replied Kellyn as he got up and then started to make his way towards Kate.
"You do?" asked Kate as he watched her face light up in an instance.
Now that's more like my Kate. Did I think 'my Kate'? Crap, I meant my friend Kate.
"Of course." replied Kellyn. Kate ran over to him and hugged him, startling him.
"Thank you so much! I'm glad you're not mad at me any more!" exclaimed Kate as she burrowed her head into his chest.
"I don't think I could ever be truly mad at you Kate." replied Kellyn.
"You looked so mad and upset when you realized I had the letters." said Kate.
"I did?" asked Kellyn.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you look that mad since the bullies made fun of me and later your little sister." replied Kate.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing then." replied Kellyn very seriously now that he realized just how much he had scared his best friend.
"No, you had every right to be mad at me." replied Kate while she shook her head.
"No Kate." replied Kellyn as he tugged at her arms that were wrapped around him and held her by her arms right under where her arm pit area was. "I scared you and I know it. I don't want you to see me as the big scary monster. I never meant to scare you nor did I ever want to lead you to believe I was ever mad at you. I wasn't really thinking straight then, especially when reality kicked in that you had the letters. You're my best friend Kate, I don't want you to have to keep on seeing that side of me. I don't want you to think that I will hurt you, Kate. If I ever get that way again I want you to yell, scream, whatever it takes to snap me out of it, understand?"
"Kellyn, you're not a big scary monster, I know you won't ever try to hurt me, and if you do get that way again, you know that I'll try to help you no matter what." replied Kate with a loud tone.
"I really don't know what I did to deserve a friend like you." said Kellyn as he suddenly hugged her, bringing her ever so close to him. Kate was turning bright red and Kellyn, well Kellyn decided he could care less about how red he was turning.
