Konnichiwa

Well never thought I would do this but I am a big fan of egoshipping and I've been developing this story for a while, mulling over ideas. It has now just passed 3:45 in the morning and I'm writing a fanfic. Dear god I must be insane...well more insane.

Anyway this is my first story out of my ' comfort zone ' Teen Titans and I hope it's good.

This is dedicated to everyone who has patiently stuck by my stories even when they sucked. Given me hints, tips and on more than one occasion given me the inspiration and the drive to write. The plots and characters may be over used but I hope I can bring a new spark and maybe make a dent, even if it's infintissimal, in the world of fanfiction.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, if I did then there would be major changes. -grumbles about May-

Chapter 1: Return of the departed

My eyes opened slightly as the sun's rays warmed my face. Yawning I let them adjust to the sun's harsh glare, unable to suppress a groan as I noticed the paperwork piled around me in varying states of disarray. My eyes wandered over the ever-increasing mountains and rested on the small metallic frame on the jumbled desk. I drank in the girl grinning at me, her emerald eyes sparkling with love, tousled red hair falling around her blushing features, my arms wrapped around her waist nuzzling her neck, her ring catching the sunlight , both of us drenched in water. A smile tugged at my lips as I lovingly traced her face. Damn I want to hold her so badly right now, to hold her in my arms whispering everything and nothing. I want to see the smiling face of Taichi raising his arms to be cuddled and gently rocked to sleep. The laughter of Sora when I tickle her stomach and spin her around in the air.

I chuckled at my sappiness, shaking my head a little. Only her, Sora and Taichi bring so many emotions out of me, emotions that make me want to scream my love to the world, then shy away from it's brightness. Emotions that even after seven years cause me to blush and act like a love struck teenager. My mind wandered back to that day, a grin forming on my features as I swiped strands of brown hair off my face. Five years ago tommorrow...

Flashback

Gary ran out the doors of Cerulean Gym laughing loudly as a dripping wet and extremely angry Misty followed screaming curses. Ducking behind a tree he grinned remembering her face as she fell in the pool. So priceless.Suddenly a figure jumped him from the side and they went sprawling to the ground. Misty stared into the swirling blue eyes of Gary as she stradddled his waist smirking triumphantly.

"Damn you just had to go and get me wet." Gary moaned feigning hurt and poking her ribs slightly. Misty stuck her tongue out at him and grinned evilly

"Well if you hadn't of pushed me in the pool, then you wouldn't be would you? " She stated poking him back.

"I only did that to get you back for hitting me earlier. " He said defensively rolling over so he was on top of her, Misty huffed

"You nicked my book. " She pouted.

His hot breath caused shivers through her body as he whispered into her ear,

"You stole my clothes from the bathroom."

Misty was about to reply when his lips came crashing down on hers, everything forgotten as one of her hands ran through his spiky brown hair, the other clutching his t-shirt.He gently nibbled on her bottom lip seeking entrance his hands slowly running down her body. She gladly complied and his tongue darted in and out teasing her, coaxing her, one hand gently caressing her own. She moaned softly as he left her mouth planting heated kisses down her neck occasionally nipping. Something slipped onto her ring finger and she was aware of Gary looking down at her and grinning. He stood up and held out his hand still grinning goofily. She acccepted it gratefully, slightly disappointed he stopped, butthat turned to shock when she noticed the ring on her finger. It was beautiful, the diamond glittered in the afternoon sun, the rubies on either side shining a thousand different reds. She looked at Gary's face as he spoke slightly sheepishly, still grinning,

"Misty Waterflower will you marry me?"

Misty stared between the ring and Gary tears forming in her eyes, features glowing as she hugged him tears spilling freely down her cheeks.

"Hai." She choked out between the sobs.

Gary pulled back and stared at her,

" You will?" He asked disbelievingly.

Misty wrapped her arms around his neck leaning into his embrace.

"Hai you baka! Of course I'll marry you!" She answered swatting him playfully.

Gary's sapphire eyes alighted and lifting her up he swung her around yelling,

"You will! "

Misty laughed and kissed him again fervently as he set her down.

"It's about time. I can't believe it took you this long to ask!" Misty's older sister stated rolling her eyes dramatically.

Misty jumped and spun around, Gary's arms still around her waist, her face flushed.

"You... you.. were spying." She squawked, causing Lily ro smirk impishly,

"It's not spying in your own home Misty-chan" She said before continuing "Now smile. "

Before Gary and Misty knew what had happened a flash blinded their vision and Lily smiled before disappearing from sight. Gary nuzzled Misty's neck and whispered gently in her ear

"Ashiteru my bishoujo."

Misty smiled softly before replying

"Ashiteru Gary-chan"

Suddenly another flash interrupted them and Misty ran after her sister yelling and screaming various death threats, while Gary was trying not to laugh at the two bickering siblings, Togetic flying around his head chirping happily.

End Flashback

God I miss her so much, I hate working away from home. A small smile appeared on my face. Well at least I'm not working at the research centre anymore and I would see her and Taichi tommorrow anyway. I sighed, looking away from the picture. It was only one more day. One more day and i'd be there with her, hugging her, kissing her, loosing myself in her wonderfully intoxicating eyes... Oh Kami- sama I have been watching way too many of Daisy's soap operas, I swear that woman has an addiction.Just then the door opened rousing me from my thoughts and I turned to face Gramps who's cheerful face was unusually somber

"Doushita? " I asked concerned.

He was just about to speak when the door opened again and a familiar voice floated down the stairs

"Ohayou Gary it's been a while, are you and Professor Oak gonna come up here or what?"

My features hardened, fists clenching tightly as I angrily stared up the stairs that lead to the hallway. I had a mind to hit that smug arrogant temee for even daring to come here and act like nothing was wrong. I looked at Gramps and knew that although Ash was like a second grandson to him,he was trying hard not to start yelling. He rubbed his temples wearily,

"We can at least be civil Gary. " he said after a pregnant pause.

I sighed and grudgingly agreed, following Gramps up the stairs, trying desperstely to stop myself from punching that temee's nose.

Just breathe..1...Breathe..2...let it out...3...that's it relax...4...breathe

I smiled as Misty's soft voice filled my head, it still amazes me that she gives me advice on anger management and is as temperamental as I am. I wasn't aware of a hand waving in front of me until a hard poke brought me to my senses. My eyes narrowed and I scowled at a grinning Ash Ketchum. Baka.
