Chapter 4
She found herself making her way to where Ash was. They had returned to the basement the next morning before the sun rose and were amazed to find Brock there, who had cooked the previous night, thus saving her from the guilt of keeping the refugees hungry. Brock gave her the brightest smile he could,or he just gave her a smile and it seemed brightest due to her cheery mood. Almost the whole of the basement was sleeping, so they didn't have to take care that they didn't bump into anyone. The returning walk was mostly silent except the sound of shoes hitting the gravel path. Ash and Dawn were ignoring each other,both trying to comprehend previous days event.
Dawn was making her way to the bathroom when she heard someone speaking,"They were gone for one whole night! Are you sure?"
This caught her attention. She hid herself from the eyesight of the group and paid her full attention to their conversation.
Another voice,which probably belonged to an elderly woman said,"Did you see him, it tells me that they did it last night."
Another man quickly added,"Girls these days don't even care about culture and character, such a shame!"
Dawn quickly wiped away her tears and calmed herself. She unclenched her fists and knocked on the door. The people were shocked on seeing her but maintained their composure. Dawn cleared her throat and said,"Breakfast is ready and Brock is going to make lunch, so grab your plate." She turned to leave but before leaving said,"And talking behind my back to spice up your life won't help. Donot forget I cook for you and Ash is here to protect you. One more bad thing,and you all are going to land up in front of the Johto army. This is not a shallow warning, I mean every word I say."
So, here she was again,making her way to Ash's room. Once she was outside the entrance of his room,she wiped away the tears which had formed again and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door and waited for a response. After a while, Ash opened the door. He was quite shocked to see her standing at his door. He expected that she would at least ignore him for the rest of the time they were there. Although he was happy on seeing her but her gloomy face sucked all the happiness out of him. He pulled her inside and placing his hands on her shoulder asked," What's wrong?"
She shoved away his hands and gave him a stern expression. Her eyes had lost its natural spark and she felt vulnerable. She feebly answered,"They know about yesterday."
This statement took him by surprise. He felt her shaking and shivering so quickly pulled her in a hug,while rubbing her back and caressing her hair. He tried to absorb her pain,her weakness but every sob of her broke his heart. His heart skipped a beat when she looked up into his eyes. Before she could say anything heartbreaking, he asked how.
"I don't know, I was going to the bathroom and I heard them talking about it",she replied,her voice dropping with every word that came out of her mouth.
"You sure you didn't tell it to anyone?", Ash asked.
She broke the hug and within a second laid a room shaking slap on his cheek. The sudden act of violence took him by surprise. Although the tearing pain on his face was almost unbearable and took all his willpower to prevent putting a hand on it to feel the area, he stopped himself from doing so.
Dawn had a similar pain in her hand. She looked at him with disgust and snapped," What do you think I am? Why will I," she said,pointing at herself with the same hand she had hit him,"spread this?".
"No,I didn't mean it that way,maybe it just slipped out of your mouth or something. It can happen right," he asked.
She gave him the most angry glare she could. She wanted to stuff his mouth with berries so that he could not accuse her of anything she didn't do. She maintained her composure and in a low voice asked,"You have spread it,haven't you?"
Out of all the answers he was expecting this was not the one. He shook his head vigorously and claimed his innocence. But she was already too heartbroken, too sad to notice anything. Only one thing kept resonating through her mind,'he betrayed me'.
She slumped down where she was standing and clutched her head in despair. Ash quickly sat beside her and pulled her into a hug. This time she didn't fight back. She felt vulnerable, she felt cheated,she felt used, but mostly she felt betrayed.
"You betrayed me Ash, you betrayed me,"she said between her sobs. Ash hugged her tighter and softly whispered in her ears," Believe me, I didn't. I will never,or rather I can ne'er betray you." His own tears were blocking his vision and he felt sobs emerging in him. He really did feel her pain. Dawn,on the other hand,avoided looking at him or even reply to what he said. Unable to bear the silence any longer,he made her face him and stared deep into her eyes. He wanted to kiss those lips so badly,he wanted to feel her so badly that it was becoming quite difficult for him to control his emotions. He glanced at her lips then her eyes and then her lips again. Dawn,sensing what he wanted bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. Does she wants me to kiss her? Should I? Will it not be taking advantage of her?
While all these questions were plaguing his mind,Dawn opened her eyes and planted a quick kiss on his cheeks. Being dumbfounded by this, he suddenly and unconsciously placed his hands on the spot where she had kissed and smiled like an idiot. He hugged her again and said,"I never realized it before,but you are really an important person in my life. I love fighting with you even for the most stupid reasons, I love it when you fight back, I love it when you make up your mind to do something. I love the way you walk,you talk,you smile, you cry, I love everything about you. I get scared when I feel you want to leave this all behind, I feel like an idiot and jealous person when you laugh or talk with Gary or any other male. I ...I think I love you."
A few tears rolled down from his cheeks and he closed his eyes to brace himself for the rejection, but it never came. Instead of that, he felt something wet and extremely sweet in his lips. When he understood that she was kissing him,he kissed her back. She tilted her head and deepened the kiss. He kissed her back with the same intensity, with the same intimacy, same passion she had,if not more. He bit her lower lip a little, for which she giggled. Taking this opportunity, he poked his tongue inside her mouth and used it to examine everything that he had not the last night. Dawn found herself doing the same. After a minute,when they were out of their breaths,they separated to breathe in some air. Still dazed and enchanted by the kiss,Ash brought her closer and lay a quick kiss on her lips. She hugged him close while burying her head in his chest. Never did she feel so wanted,so loved. Ash tried to hug her tighter but since they were still sitting,they landed up falling on the floor,with Dawn beneath him. They were still staring at each others eye while their hands were busy feeling each others skin. Suddenly Ash stood up and pulled her up to. Within a second she found herself in his arms and he carried her in bridal style to the bed. It was more like tons of blanket put together like a heap. He lay her on the bed gently and locked lips with her again. He slowly removed her white sleeveless top and unclasped her bra. With a quick stroke he removed his shirt and pulled her into a tight embrace, all the while kissing her neck and feeling her soft skin against his own. Dawn was drawing circles on his back and with the other hand was caressing his untamed hair,which looked rather sexy and attractive due to its messy look. She let out a light moan when Ash kissed her on her neck, just below her ears. Getting such a positive and arousing response from her,he sucked that place again. His hands were rubbing her thighs and stopped when it touched her shorts. Sensing his doubt,she kissed him on his lips and pulled him closer. She managed to speak,"Whenever you want, wherever you want." He kissed her with such a newfound passion that she was incapable of keeping pace with him. She tried to fight back but soon surrendered. Ash,sensing his victory smirked and removed her shorts and then her undergarments, after removing his own. They were completely naked,both physically and emotionally. They had let their emotions out,and a state of pure bliss engulfed them when they were in each others arms. He was about to enter her when the door snapped open. A loud ,'oh shit,am sorry!',made them release each other and cover themselves under the blankets. Ash quickly put on his boxers and after planting a kiss on her forehead left to see who had interrupted them. Dawn was extremely embarrassed to even smile back,so she slid under the cover and buried her face in her palms.
Outside, Ash found Brock,who looked extremely happy as if he had won a lottery. He was embarrassed to be caught making love but was extremely curious to know what he was doing there.
"I see, Ashy-boy got laid,hah!",Brock asked,amused.
"Stop calling me that and shut up too," Ash replied, embarrassed.
"How did you manage to get a girlfriend without my help? Or even Gary's?"
"It just happened. I am glad it did," he said,smiling the brightest he could.
"Well I have two good news,wanna hear or go back to her?", Brock asked teasingly.
"Spill it out,fast, so that I can return", Ash replied on an impulse.
"Well, you donot have to take care of these native people any longer,"Brock said. Ash shot him a puzzled look. Brock then continued,"The war is over. Johto is defeated. We are free."
A big smile crept on Ash's face. He hugged Brock tightly and started laughing like a maniac. When the laughter finally died down,he happily replied,"You're the best Brocko. This is the second best thing that has ever happened to me!".
After waving Brock goodbye and promising to visit him soon, he returned to his room. This time making sure he closed the door behind him. He crept up beside her and planted a kiss on her back. When he felt her unmoving,he turned her around to see her sleeping. He kissed her forehead again and lovingly said," You just entered my life and it turned so good. You are really an angel,my precious angel."
