"How could I lose to someone who-"
"Crow!" Lily interrupted Crow, "You've got it all wrong you idiot!"
"What?" Crow looked confused.
"The only thing she did was help me."
"Oh, well, err, sorry." He turned to me.
I smiled, "Don't worry about it, my brother used to do the same thing." Brother...
"Aria. Emi and Kyo." I heard Chaos say in the back of my mind.
"Ah! I would like to stay and chat but I have some people I need to get back to." I bowed slightly and started walking away, "Oh, by the way the name's Aria!" With that I left.
A few moments later I had returned to where I had left the Zorua twins. I looked around trying to spot them only to be tackled, nearly to the ground, by Kyo.
"Ariaaa! What took you so long?" He asked.
I patted him on the head, "Sorry I got a little caught up in something. Now are you going to let me go so we can return?" Kyo let go and Emi walked up to me, grabbing my hand. With my other hand I held Kyo's and we returned to what we would call home for the time being.
The only thing I could say was that I was dreaming, only it was more of a memory, a painful memory.
My brother lay in my arms, limp and lifeless. Calem looked on at the scene from behind with a shocked expression on his face. I growled at the person infront of us, no, not a person, a monster, Shade.
I stood, still growling, and my eyes glowed in anger, "YOU! You killed him! You've taken everything from my life! Now you've taken my brother!" I shouted, tears running down my face and my Zoroark ears pinned back.
Shade laughed, "Oh, if only you had listened to me, Aria dear." Her Liepard also laughed, "Too bad aswell, your brother was a wonderful specimen."
That comment made me snap, I lost myself to my anger. I charged forwards, small dark flickers of my visable aura trailing behind. I slashed my claws at Shade and tried to sink my fangs into her shoulder. Everything went black after that and when everything returned I had my claws raised above Calem's chest, ready to make a killing blow. Small drops of blood were scattered up my arms.
I bolted upright, awake, "Why... Why am I remembering these things now?" I looked at my shaking hands, "If it wasn't for that woman, I'd have a normal life." I stood up off the floor (the building didn't have any beds but I had found some quilts.) and walked over to the window. Solar and Chaos walked up behind me.
"Are you ok? I sensed something wrong, Aria." Chaos spoke with a kind voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just remembered the day brother died, the day I was finaly freed of that monster Shade, but it was at a price." I sighed and picked at the flacky paint on the window, "I never want to lose myself like that again, atleast Calem was there to stop me."
Solar nodded, "But Aaron did save your life and the life of many others."
"I guess." I stood up straight and headed to the door, "I'm going out to clear my mind..." they were about to follow me but I shook my head, "Can you stay here this time. I won't be too long, the Zorua twins will be able to hid you if anyone comes."
"Aria..." I heard Chaos say as I left the room.
It was quiet, like it normally was at night. I sighed again and muttered to myself, unconsciously rubbing a scar I had on my right shoulder, "Why did she have to kill him, I would of gone with her if she had left him alone... Brother..." I sniffed, realising I had just started crying and wiped my eyes.
"My, my. Is the tough little girly upset?" I heard a voice say from behind. I knew who it was straight away, the guy from my first day in this dimension.
I spun round and stared at him, he wasn't alone this time, he had atleast three friends, "Hmph, it's only you. Oh, and what's this? Did you bring friends to protect you from the little girly." My eyes narrowed, "Listen, I'm not in the mood. Leave me alone or you and your friends will end up like you did last time you bothered me." This time I didn't care whether or not I was angering them, I was a little worked up from reliving my memory.
"Are you challenging me again? Well, as you can see, you are out numbered. There's no way you could take us all out." He laughed.
"Do I look like I care? I've fought things that were alot stronger then you, and I was only twelve then."
"Now your trying to scare me. You're just all talk."
"You should say that again, after I beat you again. What do you even want from me?" I was starting to get a little ticked off.
"We've seen how you duel and we want-"
"No." I turned around, "I know what you are going to ask, you either want my cards or you want me to join you. These cards were given to me by someone important and there is no way that I'm joining a bunch of bullies." I was about to walk away until i felt a hand on my shoulder, "Get off me or suffer." I said darkly with a low growl.
"Is that supposed to be a threat."
I turned my head to him, my upper lip curled in a slight snarl and up close he could see the cat-like pupils better.
"W-what the hell!" He flinched away, "What are you?"
"Something that should of died long ago." My eyes flashed and an illusion of Reshiram appeared behind the group and howled. They all spun around and gasped.
I heard one of them shout, "DEMON!" and another, "WHAT THE HELL, SHE'S A MONSTER!" I then heard their footsteps scatter and fade away.
I huffed and fell to one knee, tired, "It's been awhile since I had to do that, forgot it tires me out so much." Wait, there were only three sets of footsteps then. That means-
I quickly stood up and spun around to see the leader left, holding some sort of blade. He moved to quickly for me to react. I just managed to jump out of the way but he nicked my arm, ripping the sleeve and revealing a scar that went from my collar bone down to my elbow. He attacked again and I threw up my arms in defense and closed my eyes preparing for the attack. I never came and I opened my eyes when I heard a thud, dropping my arms to my sides. I saw Crow standing over an unconscious guy. I also saw three other guys walking up to us, one had blue-ish white hair, another had blond and the last had spikey black hair with yellow highlights. They were all wearing the same thing that looked like a uniform.
"Err, thanks Crow." I said, smiling slightly.
"You can take that as an apology for earlier."
"So, this is the girl that beat you in a duel, Crow." The white haired guy walked up to me as he spoke, "I'm Kalin and this is Jack and Yusei. We are known as the Enforcers around here."
"That's nice an' all, but I need sleep and I left without telling my friends, so I'd better go." I bowed slightly, "Thanks again and bye." I side stepped around the group and swiftly walked back, alert incase anyone else tried to jump me.
As I walked into the room I caught Solar and Chaos staring at the door.
"What happened to you then?" Tyrell asked walking over.
"Kind of a long story, Ty." I smiled and scratched the back of my head.
"Aria, your sleeve is ripped." Chaos spoke like a mother would when they were warning their child not to do something again.
"I got into a fight again." I answered trying to make this chat short.
Chaos gave me a stern look.
"It was the guy from our first day here, and..." I trailed off.
"..."
We stayed silent for a few moments before Chaos actually said something, "What are you going to do about your sleeve? You don't have a change of clothes."
"I spotted some cheap thread in the store, it's only for tacking but it'll do. I wish there was a Leavany nearby." I picked at the loose threads of the sleeve. After speaking to my Pokemon for a few more minutes I decided to finally go to sleep.
This chapter is a little shorter than the others. Anyway, yeah, from this point on The Enforcers will be making quite a few appearences, sorry if any of them are out of character, it's quite hard for me to keep them in character. I may do a bit of OC X some-one but I may not. If anyone has any preferences please tell me, I would like to get my readers more involved in my fanfics.
There is still the option of telling me what pokemon (Or spell/trap) you want me to add in Aria's deck, She currently has, Articuno, suicune, xerneas, Zekrom, Reshiram, The three swords of justice (cobalion etc.), Arceus, Kyurem (and black and white versions.), Rapidash, weavile and absol.
Anyway that's all (for the quite long author's note), Please review!
