Shad: I've decided it's been too long since I last updated, so I decided to do some drabbles in my rapidly waning free time.

The first drabble is of the 5th setting, Mikage and Co. as they live a generally quirky life being educated in the fine art of Battle in the Minerva High School.

Mikage is the 5th generation Lucario of mine, discounting the Brawl Lucarios, which goes something like this:

1st: Blues (set in Shuyri's time)

2nd: Kage Suzaku (first time the last name is established)

3rd: Kaito (first female in the family line, also the only one to show up in all 5 true generations as the antagonist due to experiments that drove her crazy)

4th: Shadow (the youngest male Leader to date), Azure and Kagetora (indirectly related; Azure is Kaito's half sister, Kagetora is his "cute" charge)

5th: Mikage (heterochromatic gray and red eyes, also the first that starts the line of, "We're the kind of demons that have no true sex and can swap freely between barriers of such.")

6th: Kumo and Arashi (the last pair of Leaders that aren't an actual part of the family line, but have none of their own)

7th: Reimu (the first and last feral Suzaku)

After this, the stories shift in focus from the Suzaku family line to the Cinderfoot line. But, if you wanna know more, just check one of my newest deviations (Meta, Pet, or Nanaki and Hotaru), there's a bit of backstory on them there.

Since this is fanfiction, the fic will be Pokemon-tized for suitable submission. As such, we need a disclaimer. -_-U

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokemon, nor do I draw profit from anything associated from it. I do, however, own my characters, no matter what anyone else says or thinks. No stealing.

Ah, right. I may as well start trying to do themes. Suggest some in the comments. Anyways… First is my choice. So, this drabble will be on Worry.

As always, this is in gijinka format.

It bothers Hakune how little his kohai eats sometimes.

"That bird food… That's seriously your supper?"

If it weren't for the completely straight face on Mikage's face as he confirms this, lifting the berry filled spoon to his lips, Hakune would've believed the jackal was pulling his tail again. Hakune hums idly as he bites into a nice Perfect Apple the travelling Guide Master Wigglytuff left behind on his last visit.

Sometimes, Hakune thinks he's not cut out for watching over the whole student body, handling taxes and bills for the school all the while handling his own education and that of the little nakama he's taken under his metaphorical wing.

Across him, Mikage eats his berries from the can with such ferocious enthusiasm that Hakune worries he'll choke.

The worry is pointless, because Mikage never inhales while he eats. Everyone who's ever seen the Rukario eat confirms this.

As a proud Ninetails, Hakune is sometimes loathe to be caught around this little fool, sometimes wishing that Mikage was closer with his own group than Hakune's now-nonexistent one. Sometimes.

Most of the time, Hakune finds he's more relaxed around the little moron, with his brutal honesty and lightheartedness. The pranks he and his friends occasionally pull make him want to boot them out of the Torchic Red rank and back into Treecko Green, but as it is simply harmless fun, Hakune endures it with all the grace he can muster. Apparently, he's someone the student body tends to look up on.

Finished with his meal, Mikage leans over his shoulder none-too-subtly, eyebrows furrowing as he tries to comprehend what's on the papers Hakune holds in a gloved hand.

Soon enough, Mikage's eyes are narrowed to mere slits, and by the twitching Mikage is doing (he can feel him on his shoulder, his claws are sharp…), Hakune worries that the younger one might've suffered an aneurism or something.

But again, the worry is pointless.

Standing up straight (not without a quick hug), Mikage nods in Hakune's direction in an attempt to look "mature," hobbling over to his seat and holding his head in mock exasperation.

It's a cute gesture, though Hakune does not say so.

"You need to lighten up sometimes, Hakune. I mean, I know you're busy handling the school, but… Shouldn't you take some time off? Those papers… You've been looking at them all day. Aren't you getting a headache?"

If the papers weren't giving Hakune a headache before, the barrage of questions certainly did.

Sighing, Hakune raises his head (his neck IS sore…), and shoots the younger a soft glare, which doesn't say much. The only real variation between true and false was the glimmer in his eyes.

It's an almost caring look he throws his companion, and Mikage is certain he's imagined it when he blinks and Hakune is back to mulling over the accursed papers.

"Kohai, you wouldn't understand."

Mikage's eyebrows furrow again. Everyone thinks he's nothing more than a child with an innocent picture perfect view on life, when it reality, he's probably had the worst upbringing out of everyone.

"Ne… C'mon Hakune, tell me! You can trust me, can't you? I'm not some stupid meany-head like Denkou or Reiki, who laugh if you trip on your pants. I'm like Hikaru, I'm easy to get along with." Here, Mikage flashes a teasing grin to his elder, the grin reaching his eyes when Hakune chuckles in amusement.

Really, Mikage tries too hard sometimes…

"Modest much, kohai? Ah… Don't worry, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just…"

Hakune leans forward, for added drama, and inwardly grins when Mikage follows the action, dual colored eyes wide and round with curiousity.

"I don't want to break your little brain, kohai."

Hakune outright laughs when Mikage's eyebrows furrow- he does that a lot, doesn't he- and he looks confused for all of two seconds, before the words hit home and he looks at Hakune with a jaw drop, appalled and surprised.

"You… You just made…a joke?"

Suddenly, the younger surges forwards and outright straddles Hakune- in the cafeteria, no less!- and looks the elder over, in his ears (both human and Pokemon), the eyes, even his mouth! A small hand comes to rest briefly on his forehead, and Hakune's eyes crinkle in amusement. A small smile tugs at his lips.

He thinks I'm sick...

"Hakune, you must've overworked yourself! D-don't worry, you can finish it tomorrow, just go lay down or something!" Mikage announces, hauling the kitsune up and dragging him in the direction of a room- Mikage's, because he doesn't have the password for Hakune's. He did it on purpose for the sole reason that he needed his peace.

And all that runs through Hakune's mind throughout the entire ordeal, the thought pulling a smile onto his normally stern face, is that Mikage worries too much for his own good sometimes… And it's absolutely adorable.

Of course, he'll never tell Mikage that. He's worried that it'd be too much for the little puppy, and that he'd faint.

Maybe he'll tell him someday.

But for now, he'll worry about the now. He'll worry on the when when he gains enough courage. Or when he finishes him work. Whichever comes first.

Shad: The ending could be better… So sue me, I'm a bit rusty when it comes to good story telling, lol. Word count is around 1400-1500 words, so not too long... They ARE oneshot drabbles, after all.

So! Now that I've set an example, you guys can request some more theme-based drabbles; multiple, if you like. Just state which generation you want it based on, or if you would rather, suggest and I'll try and find the characters most fit for the theme. Thanks for reading if you got this far, and please review~! Ciao!
