Chapter 4: Night Continues
I ran to the guild, passing through the forest path and up the stairs. After a few more seconds I was inside the dark tent and I jumped into the hole instead of using the ladder. I landed and fell, surprised by how far I jumped down. I got up and climbed down the next set of ladders. Halfway down I jumped off and quietly landed. I looked around to find that no one was awake.
Sneaking back to my bed was quite easy with everyone snoring. I could've probably jumped into my bed and Atsuko would've never noticed. I was still restless, my heart lightly pumped, telling me that it wasn't time to go to sleep just yet. Still it was worth a shot.
I closed my eyes and a grey image appeared in my head.
I was looking at an even taking place from the sky, or the ceiling of a cave. The cave seemed to be completely dark, but yet I was able to see certain things more clearly. It seemed like in the top half of the image there was a silhouette of an Absol at the top of the picture. At the bottom was a Magmar holding a younger absol. His mouth also open, mid speech.
I opened my eyes, time hadn't passed at all. What was that? I guess just those rare occurring Deja vus?
Not finding an answer I closed my eyes again. This time I saw a picture of everything covered in purple smog. Except around one lone Lucario. The lone lucario was holding a picture, a tear was falling from his right eye. I could see who was in it. A group of rio-
I opened my eyes with a sharp gasp, it couldn't be. What did I just see? What was that? I closed my eyes again, nothing came to mind. I opened them again.
"Is something wrong?" muttered Atsuko sitting up, while rubbing her eyes.
"I." I started to say. I thought about it. I shouldn't guarantee her brother's safety just because of a mere déjà vu.
"You what?" asked Riolu.
"I-I choked on my saliva." I said, lightly embarrassed. "I don't think I'm going to sleep, in fact I'll be outside."
"How does one choke on their saliva, while sleeping?" she asked me.
I gave her a light stare, "It happens."
She yawned lightly and said," Now that you woke me up. I don't think I'm going to go back to sleep. I guess I'll follow you."
She stood up energetically and walked up to the entrance. I was planning to go alone, I needed to clear my mind, again.
"Well are we going?" she asked.
I nodded and stood up. I made my way past her and into the dark hall. In a few minutes we reached the cross paths in front of the guild.
"Now what?" she asked.
I glared at her and then decided to go ahead and go to the beach. She continued following me. And so we ended up at the beach where the moon was setting.
"The sun's starting to rise." She said quietly.
No it's not, I sarcastically thought to myself.
"Hey why are you always so quiet!" asked Riolu. "It's irritating; it's like talking to a ghost!"
"I can't help it. I just generally don't talk, I-I get nervous." I said, and so I started to get antsy. It didn't help that I was talking to someone that I didn't really know, nor that Riolu was just outgoing either.
"I don't mean to just insult, and stuff. But you know, if we're on an escort mission or something, it's kind of bad if I try to cheer up someone, and you sit there just being gloomy with that solemn stare of yours."
I glared at her, just a little insulted.
"See like that, especially with that red eye, blue eye thing it's kind of creepy in the darkness." She claimed.
"Sorry," I said. She had red eyes too though didn't she?
She sighed and said," I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry. I think your yes are infatuating, I think their beautiful, but you know you've got to say something to people every now and then."
"I'm sorry," I said, once again not unsure of how to take that.
She sighed once more and said," You remember when you helped me get my back my stuff from the two Pokemon yesterday?"
I nodded.
"Say yes." She said.
"Yeah," I said barely audible.
She glared at me.
"Yes!" I said.
"I think that was awesome diving into battle like that. I think you were heroic! And you did it to help a random Pokemon! Look at yourself more positively, appreciate yourself!" she said. I lightly blushed, being complimented was so embarrassing.
"Thank you," I managed to say.
"Sheesh I'm doing this to help your self-esteem! Alright?" she asked, folding her arms and turning her face away from me. But something inside me told me that she was simply being honest.
"I probably couldn't have done it without you by my side. I was a simpleton who ran in and just started fighting. I probably would've been beaten up." I admitted. I noticed that my nervousness had escaped my heart.
She gave me a smile and said," Look the sun's rising."
I looked at the sun as it started to rise. The sky a grape purple only comparable to an oil pastel. The clouds were soft as they hung around the sun, turning from a cruel grey to a clear white. We sat together side by side. I wished I could sat there forever, my eyes on the sky. I turned my eyes and met Atsuko's by accident. She had also been facing me too.
Embarrassed we both looked back up.
"H-Hey what time does the guild wake?" I turned my head again and forced myself to ask.
Her eyes widened, she gave me a crazy looking smile.
"They wake up, when the sun rises."
I gave her the same crazy smile, yeah we were screwed. In the next moment we stood up from the sand and we started to run towards the guild.
{Setsuna Damius - I don't know why, something made me want to finish this story. I decided that I wanted to finish everything that I started. So I started to write drafts of stories in school so that I could speed up my process. I don't know how much faster I hope I lower the time of making a chapter. You won't believe it I have another story idea. One with a ninja Grovyle and Flaffy, I don't know I must be crazy for playing with this idea. Anyway I'm going to write some drafts, that way when I'm done, I have something to start on again. It's a little short, but I mean this is decent progress in two days .
About the story: So yeah this is supposed to be a bit of a love story. Kuro is supposed to be thy shy type and Atsuko is supposed to be my first attempt at using a Tsundure. Not so over the top but a sort of a tsundure none the less. Glameow, the self-centered type.
Oh yeah it's close to my B-Day! That means that I'm going to get me-self a PSVita, then with leftover money maybe a 3DS XL. SO HAPPY! The next chapter won't be out for a while. Got a little bit of Writer's block, but first I need to make another chapter for Shinx's Tragedy, Latias to Latios, and stuff (wow, here's a fail for you, I haven't worked on this story for so long that I forgot the name of the story .).
Now then, (Runs off too next chapter)}.
