K.M:

And we're back to the wonderful fantastical filled world of One-shots!

Please clap...

Anyway this is probably gonna be a bit dramatic, but it's all good, cheesy stuff you kitties for some reason love...

Oh well...

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I only own Kunie, and the gang.

POV: Haku

I stared sadly as I watched the plane leave the airport, Luca, and even Yuri were both quiet next to me. Kunie was moving away, already on the plane, ready to leave.

If I was willing to say something about it I would have begged her not to go. She was so much like my little sister Mao, and now she was leaving, just like Mao. But I didn't want her to go, if I had a say in anything she'd stay in Sinnoh with me, and the gang forever. When I first met her I never thought I would get attached to her, she was skilled at soccer, had a sarcastic attitude, and lived with a creature she didn't like, I didn't think I'd have a soft spot for her, after Mao died years ago I had never managed to recover, Luca, and Yuri had been the only people I had even been willing to talk to, it had been too hard not to hate the world for taking her from me.

So I played soccer, I had never liked soccer, I had hated sports, I hated exercise, if I was given a choice I'd stay in my room watching TV all day, but Mao had loved it, she lived for it, so I played soccer.

And then this little black haired girl had jumped into our field, and had kept up with us as we played. I didn't think it was possible, she was so small, but she had ran just as fast as we had, kicked harder than we had, and even guarded better than Luca had.

She was younger than I thought.

And then a small fox Pokemon had chased her right out of the field, I realized she left her bag, and took it with me, wanting to give it back next time, but I kept forgetting, again, and again, every day, after school, we'd all meet up in that place, and every time I saw her I forgot the bag completely, and we just played, all day, I grew to love soccer, I grew to enjoy kicking that ball around with the little girl that looked so much like my little Mao, if I tried hard enough I could imagine it was just us two again, Mao threatening me to play with her, and me relenting because she was just too adorable, though her threats true.

But then I'd blink, and I realized it wasn't Mao, it was Kunie.

My Kunie, my new little sister, not Mao's replacement, Kunie was her own person.

Like I said, I never thought I'd get attached to the kid.

And I realized I wanted to teach her to love them just as much as she taught me to love soccer.

I wanted to teach her to love Pokemon.

So after she left I went to the library, and I read, and read, and read, I took hundreds of books with me, I told my parent's I wanted to be a Pokemon trainer, I went to Prof. Rowan and got myself a Chimchar, and we trained, and trained, and trained, I took care of Chimchar, he was funny, always finding a new way to make me laugh, it sometimes reminded me how often it was Kunie, and Luca, making fun of Yuri what made me laugh. I decided to name him, Ace, I grew attached to the small fire monkey, I never left far from town, I didn't want to, I would just go to the patches of grass outside, and train there, it wasn't until a few weeks later that Luca found out, I asked him not to tell Yuri.

We all knew Kunie hated anything having to do with Pokemon.

Thankfully Luca reluctantly agreed, as long as I promised to tell her.

Then Yuri met Jennifer Elizabeth Hawthorn.

She was his polar opposite, while he was loud, and adventurous, she was quiet, and shy, he liked sports, she liked drawing.

But somehow they found common ground, they both liked the chirps of bird Pokemon in the morning, they both liked the dewdrops after rain, they both liked hiking, they both liked their chocolate creamy, they both loved the movie "Diamond and Lucario", and they both were head over heels.

Me, and Luca had instantly taken to teasing him, though Luca was more cooing about it than I was.

It surprised me a little that Yuri landed a girl before Luca or me, considering Luca had like hundreds of fan-girls, secret admirers, and girls that just obsessively crushed on him.

Jen was nice, I guess, I mean, I hadn't known her that long, I only learned about her recently, but so far she was okay, and Yuri seemed to really like her, which I guess was a bonus, he drilled at me not to scare her off with what he said was close to the "Bat-glare".

Luca was a bit depressed after Kunie left, but he started working twice as hard for college.

We all still played soccer, just not as much as we used to, which made me a little sad, it was sort of our thing, but now we only played every couple of weeks, instead of everyday like we used to. Ace did his best in cheering me up.

Then Luca had the grand idea of sending Kunie a note, and tickets to get her over here, I at first thought of just sending her an Email, but Luca was adamant on a note, he had given me that look, I knew he wanted me to tell Kunie, and I did, I wrote a long letter, longer than Luca's, and Yuri's, in the end it was almost a scrambled mess, but I didn't stop writing, I wrote about everything that had happened while she was gone, how everyone was doing so far, how much I had missed her, and how I wished I had told her everything from the beginning instead of hiding it, I wrote to her about how I wish I could have shown her how great Pokemon were, how much I wanted to teach her Pokemon battling, grooming, everything, I had written so much that by the time I stopped writing my hand was practically numb.

We had painted a soccer ball in ridiculous colors, I had tried going for the original black and white, but Yuri started painting rainbows in his corner, and Luca was doing swirls and designs, I could only shake my head. When we finished painting and had sprayed the freeze spray, it looked like the circus, and the balloon-paint-war we had last year had a baby, a really ugly baby.

But Yuri being Yuri said it was perfect, and sent it along with the letters, and the tickets.

We got a response a couple of weeks later, she wrote about how she missed us, and there wasn't anyone her age that liked to play soccer, I was a little sad to hear that. But then she wrote that even if Unova was the home-region of the devil, it was still pretty cool, and had it's upsides, her house was huge, and her room was three times the size of her old one, she even had a roof that opened up, which she said was wicked awesome, she told us about how Zorua still played tricks on them, which was beyond annoying when she needed to get her homework done, and how she met three kids who were beyond adorable, and reminded her of three chibi-selves of us. Not once in her note did it say anything about me being a Pokemon trainer, in fact she acted as if half the note I wrote wasn't even there, she told us she was excited about the tickets and couldn't wait to see us, and that she loved the soccer ball we made for her, she even sent us her old lucky string bracelet that she always kept around her wrist, telling us it couldn't possibly be lucky if she had Zorua while wearing it, but since we were all drama-lovers that she would give it to us to keep "till she came back", she even joked about how I was right, and she couldn't understand half the note, and that we wrote like animals.

Even then with all the things it said in her note, not once did she bring up the rest of my letter.

I spent a whole week worrying over it, though I didn't let Yuri, or Luca know. When we went to the airport to pick her family up I brought Ace, for some really stupid reason, I guess it was to prove to her what I meant in my note, when I saw her I could feel sweat running down my face.

She had grown taller since I'd seen her, and everything about her seemed different, before she seemed more emotionless, now she seemed...aloof...

Her long waist-length hair was tied in a high ponytail, she wore a black baggy hoodie, and skinny jeans, with boots, she had a couple of bruises on her, and her face had a couple of bandages, I could see she was walking with a small limp too, her face constantly looking pained, but when she saw us her face completely changed, I had never seen her smile so wide. I had only seen her unfocused eyes light up like that when she was excited for a game.

I could only stare at her in worry, what had happened to her? Why was she so injured? She hadn't been getting into any fights, had she?

Despite her limp she ran to Luca and hugged him tight as he swung her around. When he put her down she gave him a teasing smirk, "Have you been fending off those fan-girls?" she teased, her smirk growing when he laughed nervously, and scratched the back of his head, a habit I guess he got from Kunie.

"Not as well as you and the others." he admitted with a small shrug.

Mr., and Mrs. Nagako both said hi to Luca, but I didn't notice as I looked at the small Pokemon at Kunie's feet. My eyebrows rose when I saw five glowing stones floating around him, I had no idea what they were, but they looked table-flipping awesome... but...he also looked tired, I turned back to Kunie, who was staring at her parents with a soft look as they said hi to Yuri, I turned to look at them and I realized they had changed too, when I had met them they had been such a happy cheery family, now they both had thick bags under their eyes, and small wrinkles on the side of their faces, they looked tired, and her dad...he looked so serious, I had remembered him being a funny, joking man that never seemed to take anything seriously, but here he was shacking my hand with a gruff look on his face.

What had happened to everyone?

"Hey what about us! We need our dose of Kunie love too!" Yuri complained. Kunie stared at us and I could see the small flash of a smirk on her face before she pretended to look confused. Staring at us as if she only noticed us just now.

"Do I know you?"

I could feel Yuri fume beside me, but I could feel the grin creeping up on my face, I missed this, a lot.

"Gah! You're so mean! You brat!" he grabbed her, and ruffled her hair roughly, trying to mess it up as much as he could. When he finished he pulled away, and leaned back with a smug look, Kunie growled at him, but I'd say it was more cute than intimidating, "Whoa careful Kunie, or you're gonna start sounding like a Pokemon." Luca teased, smirking widely, Kunie pulled her foot back and swung it forward roughly, the smiled on my face grew as I we all watched Yuri yelp in pain and hop around holding his foot, Luca laughed, and I couldn't help the snickers at the sight, Kunie was three feet shorter than him, and he still found a way to get beat up by her.

Then she turned to me, and I instantly stopped. She gave me an analytic look, seeming to look relieved. I looked away, holding my breath, I didn't know what to expect, maybe for her to run at me happily like she had done to Luca, or maybe joke around like she had done for Yuri, but...that just didn't seem something for us, it didn't seem like something we'd do, it wasn't us.

"Are you gonna give me a hug or not? You didn't when I left and I'm not gonna lie, it made me feel like you didn't love me at all." My eyes widened and I looked at her.

That...that was us...it was something only we would do...

I could only stare as she walked to me and hugged me tightly, I sighed, letting in the breath I had held.

Maybe she didn't hate me like I thought, I put my hands on the back of her head.

She grew a little, but she was still ridiculously short.

But even then I smiled, it seemed right, it seemed us.

"Man...just when I grew an inch, you guys just had to go, and grow two." I heard her mumble into my stomach, I chuckled, and pulled her away to look her in the eye.

"I...missed you."

She stared at me before rolling her eyes, "You people are so dramatic all the time," she pulled away, and shoved her hands in her pocket with a huff.

I stared at her in amusement, "what happened to you?" I tried keeping my tone light as I motioned to her bruises.

"Oh, that's a whole 'nother story, you would not believe the things those people put me through, like seriously, anyway thanks for the soccer ball, it looked weird by the way." I tried to ignore the way she changed the subject, it didn't matter, what mattered was that she was here, and I was gonna enjoy the small time we had.

So instead I went along with it.

"Yeah. That was all the idiot's fault, by the way he has a girlfriend and we need your help to test her."

"I don't have a girlfriend! And you don't need to test her!"

"No, but we certainly want to." Luca jumped in with a devilish smirk if I've ever seen one.

Yuri could only groan in despair.

I looked at her parents, they were in each others arms, smiling at the scene of all four of us joking around.

I looked at Kunie who was looking at me, she smiled, I smiled back.

So maybe we weren't the same people we used to be, maybe that wasn't so bad...

K.M:

TOO MUCH CHEESINESS! I hope you liked it, but I ALSO hope you all know I was drowning in the cheese as I was writing this, I was like "wait no...that's wrong, wait now I have to change that, no that doesn't sound right, wait, is that what he said?", and then there was cheese and sparkles exploding everywhere...it was scary...

I literally wrote this all right away because I was like "I've been neglecting these poor kitties, I need to post more...! With the power of youthfulness!"

Now I sound like Gai...

SO yes this was all Haku, and what he thought about Kunie, yes he had a younger sister, she died when she was around Kunie's age, and since her and Haku have similar looks she looked like his sister.

That's all for now Kitties, till next time, review, or PM me if ya have any questions.
