HELLO!!!! This is my first fic so be nice!!! I haven't written anymore than what's already here so no one likes it I won't bother to continue.

Any way, this another 'who the hell is Ash's dad?' fics. So umm... yeah. Ash and Misty are 15 and a couple. Brock is 18. Ash is the youngest to ever become a Pokemon Master, that's why he's in the news.

Oh, and before we start I'm dyslexic so sorry about all spelling and grammar mistakes but the computer doesn't pick them all up.

Behind Closed Doors

It was a beautiful day in the forest just outside Pallet town. The sun was shining, the birds singing there peaceful songs, all was calm.

All but two teens...

"We're lost again and it's all your fault Ash!"

"What are you on about?! We are not lost! And even if we were it wouldn't be my fault! Brock has the map!"

"He has a point you know Misty", a third slanty eyed boy broke in.

"SHUT UP BROCK!!!" The fiery red head yelled. Brock shrank away in fear. No one dared get on the wrong side of the hot tempered girl. Apart from Ash that is. But then Ash was the only one who got to make up with her in that "special" way.

In fact, one of those make ups was in the process.

"You're so cute when your angry" Ash smiled.

"Flattery will get you nowhere" Misty snapped but already she could feel herself beginning to cool off.

"But then again", Ash ignored her outburst "You're always cute".

Misty blushed. She loved it when Ash flirted with her. It made her feel special. That was one of the reasons she loved him so much. He made her happy no matter the situation.

"You're not so bad your self handsome" Misty batted her eyelashes.

Brock rolled his eyes. The one thing worse than there yelling at each other was there whispering sweet nothings to each other. Both gave him a head ache.

The older teen trailed behind the love birds fantasizing about a certain nurse when he was brought out of his thoughts by a raven haired boy saying in a know it all voice "Told you we weren't lost".

And indeed they weren't. The road to Pallet town was right in front of them.

Brock could see Misty clinging onto Ash's arm. She was just as excited as the young Pokémon Master. It was the first time since Ash got his title a week ago that they had seen any form of civilization. Ash had wanted to get home as soon as possible to celebrate with is mum. It wasn't just running water that had Misty excited though.

Brock smirked to himself.

When Ash and Misty had first got together a year ago they hadn't been able to keep there hands of each other. It had disturbed Brock greatly when he had woken up one night to there moaning each others name. At first Brock had been horrified thinking that they were doing something no 14 year old should do but had been relived when they assured him they hadn't gone past second base. Since then they hadn't done anything but innocently kiss when they were camping.

Which explained why Misty wanted to get to a proper building. A week with Ash and nothing being able to do anything romantic? Bless her little cotton socks.

'I don't want to be any where near those two when they get to Ash's room' Brock thought to himself.

"Umm... guys I'm going to go to see Professor Oak before I go to your house Ash".

"Okay", Ash was a bit confused at Brock's decision but shrugged it off. "See ya later!".

Ash and Misty walked hand in hand to Ash's mums home.

"I'm looking forward to seeing my mom again. It's going to be so grate having my two favorite girls under one roof".

Misty smiled at her excited boyfriend. He deserved this break. Five years on the road all the time was a lot for someone. She didn't know how he did it. She never would have. That's part of the reason she took that year off when her sisters went on holiday. That was the worse year of her life. She has never missed some so much as she did Ash during those months apart. And when he had come back with that girl, May, she had never been more frightened in her life. It was a good thing that May had been swept of her feet by Gary. Misty would have died if May had gotten her Ash. The fact Ash never liked May in that way never even crossed her mind.

The Ketchum home was in sight. Nothing could stop Ash as he ran top speed towards the red door of the modest two bedroom terrace.

Misty was right behind him as he charged through door only to halt in his tracks. Mist bumped into him almost causing her to fall over. She was about to tell him off for stopping so suddenly when she saw a tall man she didn't recognize leaning in the door way to the kitchen.

He was just over 6 foot with black greasy hair. He would have been handsome if not for the evil smile that was on his face. Just looking at him sent shivers down Misty's spine.

"What are you doing here?" Misty was surprised at the tone of Ash's voice. It was filled with fear and... hate?

In all the time she had known Ash he had never hated anyone. Not even Team Rocket. This man must have done something terrible for Ash to have such strong feelings.

"Why hello Ashura", the stranger ignored his question.

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked again. Then panic over took his face. "Where's mom? What have you done to her? I swear if you've so much as lade a finger on her I'll..."

"You'll what? Hit me? Call the police?". There was anger in the man's voice. "I know it was you who called them last time. You were trying to be the hero. To bad they couldn't care less. You only made it worse for your self".

"I'm not afraid of you any more" Ash said barley above a whisper.

"Well you should be. You should be".

"Pika..." Pikachu growled. He didn't like the way this mad was talking to Ash. Perched on his friends shoulder he could feel how uneasy the young boy felt.

The tone of the mans voice changed significantly, "Oh, of course!! One of your trusty Pokémon! I must say it's ironic that the very creatures that protected you and helped you achieve your dream are the very reason I was able to find you".

"Josh?" A timid voice called voice out before Ash could reply. "Josh I can hear voices. Who is it?" Then the owner of the voice appeared from the living room. It was a lady of about 34 years, with red hair in a scruffy ponytail and big brown eyes that would have been beautiful if they weren't red and puffy from crying.

"Mom?" Ash asked in suppressed fear. His mum almost never cried. Not even all those years ago when... 'No Ash! Don't think about that! Just get this monster out of this house and as far a was as possible'.

"Ash!!! Oh Ash!!! I missed you so much!!! Hello Pikachu. Is Ash staying out of trouble? Misty!!! My future daughter in law!!! I hope you've been able to keep all those girls of him. I saw on the news how the youngest Pokémon Master is quite the stud."

Delia would have probably gone on if it hadn't been for the cruel voice of this man called Josh. "I hate to break up this little reunion, but darling why don't you tell our son the good news."

Misty gasped. This man was related to Ash? But Ash seemed to hate him! Why would he hate his own flesh and blood?

"What good news?" Ash panicked. What was good news for his father would never be good news for him or his mum.

All the excitement that had been in Delia suddenly disappeared as if it never existed. "Oh Ash, I'm so sorry".

"Sorry for what? Mom! What is he on about?"

"It seems you're mother is to happy to tell you. We're getting back together."

Time seemed to stop for Ash. 'No. No they can't be' was his first thought. 'Mom would never get back with this monster. Not after all we did to get away'. "Why? Mom, why? What did he do to you?! Did he hit you? Did he ra..." Ash couldn't get the word out his mouth. He didn't know what he would if that... that creature touched his mum in that way.

"No Ash he didn't do anything to me. I want this. He's a changed man." It was an obvious lie.

"He threatened you" It wasn't a question. "Mom what did he say he would do? I promise you that no matter what it was he wont get away with it."

"Are you sure of that Ashura?" Josh interrupted "You've grown up from the sniffling baby you were ten years ago but do you still think you'd be a match against me? Even with your Pokémon I'd beat you to a pulp. Don't do anything stupid boy, because if you're out of the picture who's going to protect you're little girl friend there?".

"No! Please don't do anything to Mist!! She has nothing to do with this!! She doesn't know anything about you!! I'll do anything you say just please don't touch her!"

Josh smirked, "That's just what your mother said when I was trying to get her to take me back. Only it was you she was trying to protect."

"Mom!! What did you do that for? You should have kicked him out!! It doesn't matter what happens to me!! I can look after myself!! Tell him no!! Tell him you won't get back with him!! Please mom!! I beg of you!!"

"I'm... I'm... sorry!" Delia started to sob. Misty just rapped her arms around her trying to comfort the older woman.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I've got to be off. I'll be back tomorrow morning." Josh picked up a black bag that had gone unnoticed by the door and went to walk out the still open door. "Oh, and Ashura?" Ash looked up at his father, "Don't try and get out of town. I'll just track you down again and make ten years ago seem like bliss to what I'll put you through." He then walked out slamming the door behind him.

"Ash?" Ash turned from the door to face Misty, "Ash, what was that all about?"

"You don't want to know Misty. You don't want to know".

Do you like it so far? Say if you do or don't. Also say if I should continue or not. Thanking you!!
