Chapter 4 This is the longest chapter so get to it and don't be afraid to review I love to hear what you have to say ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or the characters

Cheren made sure I stayed in school all day. Even though I didn't have a lunch again he dragged me with him. Boy did that suck to watch my friends eat while I starved. But truthfully I was somewhat happy he did because I was worried that I might see N again. Then again right after lunch it started to rain…hard, so now I have to walk about a mile and half to my place in the rain. Also I don't own an umbrella so I'm going to be soaked by time I get home. Thanks Cheren you will get a piece of my mind Mr. I-take-the-bus. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll stop before school ends…yeah right.

I was dreading leaving but I had to get home. I tried looking in the lost and found for an umbrella but someone beat me to the punch because not one was there. So my only hope of making it home somewhat dry is to run and duck under shelter, for a mile and a half. God I hate my life.

I'm not even half way there and I'm exhausted there's no way I can keep this up. The rain is coming down to heavy and it's filling my lungs and the wind is not help. To tell you the truth I'm actually pretty strong but this weather is making it about 3 times harder. I take shelter in one of those bus stop booths. I guess I'll rest here for a few minutes and catch my breath.

Some people stare at me as they walked by but I could care less what they think. Though there was one guy who stood on the other side of the street and stared at me. His umbrella covered his eyes and I could really make out his face. After about a minute he crossed the street and headed toward me. I was still too tired to get up and run so I was a sitting duck. He finally reached me but his umbrella still covered his face.

"What a coincidence meeting you here." That voice sounds familiar. "I knew we would see each other again." N? I looked up and sure enough if was him. "Why are you out here?" I could ask you the same question.

"I'm going home. School ended." I answered

"So you went through the whole day today?" He started to chuckle. Man did this guy piss me off.

"Yeah and I'm leaving now." I got up but he stopped me.

"Where's your umbrella? Have you been walking in the rain this whole time?" I turned to his concerned face.

"Yeah I don't own an umbrella so I have to walk about a mile before I'm home." Why did I just tell him all that. He came closer, close enough for me to realize he was like 8 inches taller than me. He handed me his umbrella.

"I'd hate for you to catch a cold walking home in this weather. Plus I have more umbrellas at my place." He just gave me his umbrella…just like that. He started to walk away now.

"Wait!" I shouted. He stopped in his tracks. His eyes were wide shocked that I actually called after him. "What about you? Won't you catch a cold?" Why was a speaking so softly.

"Don't worry about me." He waved me off but…

"I thought you said we talk next time." He smiled. I really didn't like it for some reason.

"Well I was hoping for better conditions plus you said you have to go home." He started walking back to me and handed me something, a piece of paper. "If you want to talk like I said we would meet me here Saturday at noon." This time he walked away and I let him go I needed to get home too.

Finally I'm here. I never actually got a chance to look and see what he wrote on that paper. By the fountain in the center of town. Sounded easy enough but I knew Cheren would have a fit if he found out that I saw N again. I have this uncanny feeling Bianca was right when she said something about good looks. Cheren isn't the best looking guy around and believes any guy Bianca thinks is cute is an ass-hole or pervert. I smell a crush.

But that's my question why would he be so hung up on a guy that I knew. He clearly likes Bianca. Maybe it was the fact he was actually trying to protect me or it's the thing where Bianca would fall for him and he'd be pretty mad. You know what I don't even care anymore I'm just going to hope that he doesn't find out.

"Hey Touko!" Bianca called. "How was your walk home I hope you didn't get too soaked." She knew I didn't own my own umbrella so after rainy days she'd asked if I had been okay.

"I was fine. Tell you the truth someone just gave me their umbrella." Oh shit why did I say that?

"Wow that was really nice. I wish someone would do something like that for me. But what did they do?" Think Touko, think.

"Oh he caught a taxi and left." That'll work. I didn't actually know if that happened with N but I'm lying so who cares.

"Who gave you the umbrella?" Cheren asked.

"Oh…it was just some stranger just doing a random act of kindness." Damn you Cheren. Why do you have to have the specifics?

"Did he give you a name?" Fuck.

"No he just told me that he had more umbrellas at home so I could just take his." That was the truth.

"That's weird but lucky you." Bianca cut in. I'm pretty sure she did care about the specifics. "Hey you want to hang out after school today?"

"Sorry I have some errands to run."

"It's Wednesday what errand could you possibly have to run on such a random day?"

"I have to go get some medicine and go to the grocery store because I'm out of a few things thank you very much. You know my parents don't live with me because they are in China on some work related thing. It's hard living in an apartment by yourself."

"Okay. I'm sorry." Like I said Bianca is clueless, she often forget that my parents are in China and left me here so I can go to school. I could have gone with them but I really didn't want to. I liked having my own place. Sure I had to do a lot of shopping and stuff but otherwise it was nice. And it was good practice for when I had to live on my own.

So school let out and I headed to the drug store to get some simple medicine. Advil, cough drops, and stuff like that. I put it off for far too long and I didn't want to get sick and be out of medicine. So I purchase my stuff but before I leave I notice a tall guy with messy green hair looking at some pills. N? Why do I keep seeing him? Either way I felt compelled to go over there and say hi, he didn't look to good.

"Hey." I said casually. He looked over at me his face was kind of red I guess he was sick.

"I wasn't expecting to see you here Touko." He coughed a little.

"Are you okay? Do you have a cold?" Does he look okay? Mouth, stop getting ahead of my brain.

"I could be worse." He smiled. I'm amazed that he can, when I'm sick I'm miserable.

He started to sway, he could stand still. I grabbed him and walked him out of the store.

"Come on you're too sick to be out here." He mumbled something but I couldn't make it out. I sat him down on a bench outside the store and gave him my coat. This cold is clearly because he gave me his umbrella and he walked in the rain.

"Touko what are you doing?" He asked. He sounded drunk and looked like he was going to pass out.

"N, do you have a cell phone or know of anyone I can call to pick you up?" He needed to go home, he wasn't looking to good.

"What?" Damn it. Now I have to skip going to the grocery store and bring him to my house I can't just leave him. It is my fault he is sick. So I flagged down a taxi and when we got to my apartment building I have to carry him up to the 3rd floor. You know usually it's the guy carrying the girl.

Finally we are here. That seemed to take forever. He's now asleep, he actually looks pretty peaceful. Well I place N on the couch but I go to my room open the door and unmake the bed. I go back to where I left him and bring him to my room and lay him in my bed. That couch is not fun to sleep on he might as well sleep on something decent if he is sick. I'll wait until I hear something before I get him something to eat.

About an hour later I hear N mumbling to himself so I guess I'll get him some soup. When I put it in the microwave I go get some medicine, a glass of water and check on him.

"Hey." I said. "You feeling better?" He looked at me in shock.

"What…" He's stuttering. "Where am I? How…how did I get here?"

"Well you were kind of unstable when I saw you at the drug store and you were semi-conscious. So I brought you here 'cause I don't know where you live. You fell asleep and I put you in my bed." He looked down at the sheets he was holding onto.

"You brought me to your house?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah." I sat down next to him on the bed. "I wasn't going to leave you outside sick. I might not be the best person there is but I have my nice moments." I hand him the water and two pills. "Here take this."

"Thanks." He quickly gulped the pills down with the water.

"You're in luck because I was out of medicine before I saw you at the store." He looked down again. A beep went off.

"Oh I'll be right back." And I was within a minute I had the soup on one of those bed trays. "It's chicken noodle but it's from a can. I would have made it from scratch but sadly I didn't make my way to the grocery store, so that's all I had."

"You didn't have to make me soup. I already took your medicine that you just bought." He wasn't looking at me. "I feel like I'm causing you trouble. It's my fault you didn't get to finish your errands and you had to use your own money to get a taxi just to get me here."

"But N, it's my fault you got sick in the first place. If I didn't take your umbrella you wouldn't have walked home in the rain and you probably wouldn't have caught that cold. I'm just repaying the favor." He looked at me. His eyes wide and sparkling his face was also really red. I couldn't tell if that was because he was blushing or because he had a fever. I put my hand on his forehead to see. He flinched at first and backed away a little but then let my hand rest. His head almost burned my hand.

"You're really hot. Eat your soup and get some rest." I sounded like a mother but he didn't argue. When he finished I took the bowl into the kitchen. I was going to shut the door and let him rest but he called me.

"Touko." I step in to see what he wanted. He held up a cell phone. "My dad is on speed dial would you mind calling him so he can come get me? You told me to rest and I'm not going to disobey your orders." I laughed at that and took the cell. It rang a few time but then I heard a 40 year-old's voice.

"N? Is that you? Where are you?" The voice asked.

"Umm…this isn't N but I'm with him." I told him

"Who is this and where is my son?" So this was his dad.

"My name is Touko sir, and N got sick. I didn't know he had a cell phone so I brought him to my place. He's resting right now but asked me to call you."

"Thank you so much. I'm glad he's okay. My name is Ghetsis and as you can guess I'm his father. If you please could tell me where you live I will be there to get him." So I told Ghetsis how to get here. He got here in about 10 minutes or so. We got N out of bed and he slowly walked to the door with his dad.

"Thanks again Touko for help me." N said. "And I'll see you soon." That's right, forgot about that.

"Yes thank you." Ghetsis echoed. He lightly kissed my hand the same way N did at the café. Now I know where he gets it and something tells me he's not married. "If you ever need anything don't be hesitant to call." He handed me a business card…he's a lawyer why does that not surprise me. The two left as I looked out the window I saw a limo parked outside. I knew he is a rich boy.

I looked at the card again. A lawyer and a rich one at that. I know who to call if I ever go to jail. But when I flipped the card over there was another phone number.

N's cell number.
