(Chapter 7~~ Let's get to it, shall we? Wonderful. Here. We. GOOO. OH, one thing. This chapter will be in Blue's POV, so if you don't like it, skip it to the next chapter or whatever you wanna do... Now on with the show.
To SniperGYS: Eeep! You read it three times? I feel really special! ^^ Thank you so much, and glad you liked it so much. :D Yes, Black is interesting, even to me and I'm glad I made him that way...Even if getting the way he talks just right is a hassle and I must wrack my brain for just the right words for him to use...Hehe and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to you too. :) You read all my others...? I'm so honored to have a reviewer such as you! ;-;)
Why She Found Him
I stared up at the person standing in front of me with a confused look on my face. Why was she still wandering around? Didn't she leave after Black said what he said? Not that it mattered. The first thing I saw when I looked at her was that she wasn't planning on doing anything bad. I mean, it's not like she's Karin or anything.
"Shiro..." I said, causing her to smile as I said her name.
As she smiled at me, Shiro walked over and sat beside me on the floor, her back against the wall as she hugged her knees. Her hood was still hanging over her head, so I still couldn't see her eyes.
"What's on your mind, Blue?" she asked.
I hugged me knees also as I gave a sigh, contemplating. How would I even start this conversation? Time to think carefully...
"It's about Silver." I hear myself say.
Alright, winging it works too.
"Something happen?"
I nodded quickly, my face heating at the thought of it. Jeez, where the hell did THIS Blue come from? I was never like this a day in my life. Something must've really been wrong with me recently...I've been acting funny since I met up with Silver again.
"Silver kissed me...And I kissed back..."
"It doesn't sound like you're too pleased."
I threw my arms into the air. "I really don't have a clue!"
"Have you ever considered the thought you're in love with him?" Shiro suggested.
I gave her a bewildered look. "What?" I asked.
Shiro lifted her head up and I could've sworn she was rolling her eyes from underneath that hood. "Are you in love with Silver." she repeated.
I looked down at the tip of my off-white boots, fidgeting my shoulders a little. "I don't know..." I mumbled, frowning. SORRY I'm too confused to comprehend things as quickly as I usually do.
"Well then, tell me why you contacted Silver in the first place." Shiro told me. Ah, why did that not surprise me at all~. "I already know you were the first to contact him via text message. You had to have some reason why you did that. Why?"
I scowled. What would Shiro say if I said I forgot...? Well, she's probably think I thought she was annoying. I didn't, but you know how people are. Atleast she was trying to help me.
"Try to remember. Anything." she encouraged.
"Okay, let's see..."
With those words, I began to randomly tell her anything that would've had some connection to Silver. Really, I had no idea why I was doing this, though. This went completely against my character.
...
"Ugh, all the guys around here are really annoying!" whined Leaf as she flopped on my bed beside me where I was reading the latest PoKeSTYLE magazine that featured The Shining Beauty, Elesa Kamitsure. "Blue, we're twins, but they can still tell who's who and tend to like me! Why in the world is that?"
I laughed and gave her a sneaky grin. "Because all the guys around here know that Lil' Miss Blue here can leech them of every penny they have if I feel like it." I joked.
She giggled and slapped me playfully, and I went back to reading about what Elesa suggested for summer wear. "Besides, you're practically in LOVE with Fire anyway. Or maybe it was Shigeru~...Either way, the randoms don't have a chance with you."
Leaf blushed furiously as she hopped off my bed and whirled around to face me. "B-Blue! Don't say that!" she stammered.
I gave a mock evil laugh as I jumped up as well and hugged her happily. "Oh, my dearest sister, I'll make sure you get together with someone."
Leaf pushed me away and sat on her bed, her face still red as she stared up at me. Oh, she was SO fun to tease! I stared down at her as she grabbed her favorite charmander plushie (which looked way too much like her real charmander now that I looked at it...I have my suspicions, okay?) and hugged it tightly. Oh gee, this'll be fun. She always hugged that thing when she was about to talk about something 'important'.
"What about you, Blue...? Before you came here, didn't you say there was a guy you knew?"
I blinked at her before I took my phone out of my pocket and smiled down at the rainbow hued feather that hung as a keychain off of it. There was only one image that flashed in my head: A boy with crimson red hair that stopped a little past his shoulders, Black jacket with red trimmings, grey pants tucked into black boots, and not to mention those black gloves I made for him. I swore he never ever took those things off! And of course, the things I loved most about him...Those eyes of his that cut like steel when he looked at you, the most beautiful shade of silver I've ever seen...
I simply smiled at my younger almost duplicate sister. "Yea, you're right. I actually really miss him right now." I said, then gave a tiny scoff. "I kinda regret deciding to split up and stuff..."
Leaf frowned. "Blue..." she mumbled.
I shook my head at her. "Don't worry, Leaf. I'm pretty sure we'll meet again. We promised." I reassured her.
He was always one to keep his promises.
...
"Hey Blue, you hear?" Shigeru asked as he put the pokemon genetics book he was reading back on the shelf.
I looked over at him with my head tilted to the side a little. I was sitting on one of the desks that was in the lab despite how he was always yelling at me not to. Did I really seem like the type to listen to anyone anyway?
"Hear what?" I replied.
He turned to me as he leaned against the waLl with his arms folded. "Apparently some redhead kid in the next region over from us has been tugging in the interest of the police. From here AND there."
I perked up where I was sitting. "What?"
Shigeru shrugged nonchalantly as he continued, "Apparently he's been accused of helping criminals and with-holding information. He's been accused of it more than once, actually. My cousin, Green, is the guy who brought this up because of some new information." he said as he picked up a newspaper, probably reading off what he was telling me. "I agree with him. I mean, seriously, how does a sixteen year old suddenly receive approximately one million dollars?"
I tried to contain my anger as I hopped off the desk and walked over to him. "Any quotes from the redhead?"
He looked at me. "Huh? Well, yea-"
I didn't even let him finish his sentence before I snatched the newspaper right out of his hands. My eyes scanned the article quickly, said blue orbs flickering as I read along. One sentence...That's all I needed to know if it was really Silver. I knew him better than I knew my own sister.
Then, I found it.
~You can accuse me of whatever you want, I could care less. A person I know told me to find my life, and I think I have it, so piss off.~
I couldn't help but smile a little at the words on the paper. That was definately him...That was definately my Silver. 'Haven't changed your attitude a bit, have you?' I thought to myself.
"I think Green should just convince them to arrest the kid." Shigeru thought out loud.
I snapped my gaze over to him and threw the newspaper at his head, causing him to flinch and look over at me. And...Cue confused stare from one of my sister's love interests. Always pleasant.
"You don't even have any proof he's doing anything bad, Shigeru! You can't just assume! Do you know what happens when you assume? You-"
"I know, I know." Shigeru interrupted as he folded his arms and rolled his eyes. "I make an ass out of 'u' and me."
"Exactly! If you don't even know him, you shouldn't accuse him of anything."
He sneered. "Why are you suddenly getting defensive all of a sudden?"
"Because it's annoying how you can stand there and say that. I bet you any money he's a nice person!" I stuck my tounge out at him. "Hmph! Just for being mean, I'm going to tell Leaf to never go out with brunette's! Especially ones named Shigeru Oak!" I shouted, then walked out.
"Wha-What! Blue what the heck does that mean?" Shirgeru shouted after me. I was easy to tell he was blushing.
The place where the newspaper said he lived was in Goldenrod...All I needed to do to find him was sneak my way into the city's network where everyone's phone numbers and addresses were saved and find his name. Piece of cake, right? Even if it wasn't, no one should underestimate MY skills and resources.
...
I sat in Professor Oak's lab in complete darkness at the moment, save from the light of the computer I was sitting at. It was around midnight, so the lab was closed, but I snuck through the window. Like I said before, you don't underestimate Miss Blue. I hummed an oddly happy tune that accompaned the clacking of my keyboard, but was interrupted by the hearty laugh of a man coming from my headpiece.
"So why'd you call me up all of a sudden, Lil Miss Blue? You seem pretty happy right now." the voice said.
I grinned as I gave a slight giggle. "Well, you hear of the kid in Goldenrod who got, like, a million bucks or something?"
"Three million to be exact. And yep, I sure have. Why?"
"I guess you can say...He's a friend of mine." I told him, then stopped typing when something popped onto my computer screen. "Oh, it's the main screen...Surge, find the password for me please?"
Surge chuckles as I heard him press his computer keys with his big wrestler-sized fingers. "Ah, I see...Friend, huh? Sounds good enough. Here you go, princess."
As he said that, the screen glowed green and switched me to another page signaling Surge had successfully cracked the password for me and I was now officially in the network. See, this is what I loved about Surge. He had been my first real friend after Silver and I had split up, and was super nice to me. He took care of me for a while, actually. But when I told him I didn't know where my real family was, Surge went and hacked into hospital records all over Kanto to find someone someone who looked even a little like me. And after three yearsm he finally found them and I've been with my family ever since. Surge was like a best friend or father to me. No, wait, he was no where near dad's age, and too old to be a best friend...He was more like an uncle. Yea, that uncle you could always count on to be there for you and you cared alot about. As you can see, even though we're not near each other anymore, we still keep in touch.
"Hn...Let's see...Silver, Silver..." I mused out loud.
"That the kid's name?" Surge asked me. I heard a squeak after he said that. His favorite chair always did that when he leaned back in it.
"Yep." I answered rather plainly.
"He must be named after his eyes like you, huh?"
"Hehe~, maybe?"
"Do you like him?"
I flinched anime style from the sudden question, and he probably knew I did because he started laughing. "WHAT? No way! Why would you think that?"
"Your voice says no, but your body seems to have a differant opinion."
"...That sounds wierd, Surge. AH, I found it." I said. "Pretty funny how he's the only guy in Goldenrod with that name."
"That's because normal people aren't named after colors."
"Hey, watch it."
Surge laughed again. "Well, when you talk to him, Blue, be sure to tell him how you feel."
I gritted my teeth angrily and puffed my cheeks a little. I always did that when people were talking about something I didn't want to listen to. "I don't know what you're talking about. Plus, I'm older than him and I don't even know what he looks like now." I retorted.
"Hey, I'm serious here. My nephew, Denji, he had this girl he was in love with but he never told her his feelings because he thought it was awkward since he was a bit older than her. And due to him never telling her, she went and got together with this one guy from her hometown or something." Surge insisted.
"...Tragic." I spoke with the utmost sarcasm as I tooka pencil and piece of paper out, writing down the name I had been searching for: Silver Kamon Rocket.
"You have no heart, do you?" Surge questioned, giving a sigh through his nose.
"Ah, that reminds me, I'm gonna need to get a new phone. Preferably one that I can use to make sure he won't be able to track me."
"Why would he try to track you?"
"May I remind you he grew up in the same situation as me? I don't think he'd be lazy about security."
"Point taken. I'll take care of that phone issue then. The rest is all you."
I smiled softly. "Thank you, Surge..." I whispered.
"Anytime, Blue. Just remember to tell this Silver guy what you're really thinking in that nutty head of yours."
"Whatever you say, old man."
"HEY! I'm only twenty seven!"
And with that, I shut my head piece off.
...
It was ten or something in the morning and I was wide awake, sitting on my bed in my jigglypuff patterned pajamas. I was looking down at the phone in my hands as I sent a third message to who I'd been texting nonstop almost everyday: Silver. Although, he'd probably hate me for this...You know, with me sending him three messages that all said the same thing when I knew very well he had insomnia and all... But it was SO fun to play with him. I could do it all day if I wanted to.
Leaf walked into our room with a hairtie in her mouth and her hands starting to put her ginger brown hair up into a messy ponytail. She looked at me as she took the hairtie and put her hair up, and I blinked innocently.
"Wow, Blue, you're scaring me. You were up really late last night and you wake up early? It must be the end of the world!" Leaf said to me.
I scowled and pointed my phone at her as if it was a weapon. "Hey! That's rude!"
She giggled at me. "I was kidding. Anyway, I gotta get dressed. Shigeru and I are going to Viridian City today!"
I grinned mischieviously. "Ah~, I knew it was Shigeru~." I spoke teasingly.
I heard her huff as she closed the door to our walk-in closet behind her. "I'm not going to let you get to me today, Blue."
"Really? That's saying alot, you know. I can still drive Surge nuts, sweetie. Plus, you're on my soon-to-pair-with-someone list!"
"You have the wierdest fetishes." she told me as she came out of the closet wearing a red skirt, blue tank top, matching blue knee high socks and a red and white hat.
I hopped on my knees, still on my bed. "Hey! That's my outfit!" I whined.
Leaf laughed. "So what, you're not going anywhere." she retorted as she went to the doorway of our room. "Oh yea, Fire's here to talk to you, by the way!"
I raised a brow skeptically. Why, exactly, was Fire coming to talk to me?
"Fire, you can come and talk to her now!" Leaf shouted down the stairs, then waved goodbye to me and left.
I rolled my eyes and hugged my legs to my chest as I looked down at my phone, texting Silver for the fourth time. As I finished, Fire walked into the room, closed the door quietly beind him, and sat on Leaf's bed across from me to look at me. I lifted my gaze from my phone to meet his, puffing my cheeks a little.
Yep, there was Fire alright. Light brown hair that was parted down the middle and flipped out at the ends a little, firey red eyes, average red and white hat, vest and shirt to match the hat, regular faded jeans, emotionless expression (as always), and...The ONLY person I've met that wasn't annoyed by my antics...And it annoyed ME to no end. Yea, that was definately Fire Ketchum, unfortunately.
"Why are you here?" I almost demanded.
He stared that emotionless stare he always used before he answered, "I want to talk to you about something."
"About what?"
"That guy you continue to talk to, Silver."
My eyes widened. "...What?"
Fire gave a curt nod. "My little brother, Red, is one of his friends. They live in the same city. I know it's him you're talking to because all of his friends have been talking abouthow he's been talking nonstop to some random girl that texted him."
He narrowed is eyes and his next sentence literally made my heart drop.
"Isn't that right, 'Aoi'?"
'Oh shit' was exactly what I was thinking at that moment. If this was Shigeru or something, it'd be easy to slip out of it because Shigeru was constantly second guessing himself, but nooo, it was Fire. Once Fire had an opinion of something, it stuck for eternity. I guessed that factor came right along with him barely ever talking.
As I sat there, gawking and trying to look for an excuse, my phone started to ring it's usual bubbly ringtone. I laughed as I held it up. Let's hope the same thing that got me into this would get me out. Game face: ON.
"Oh! My phone is ringing! Maybe you should come back later, Fi-" I began.
"I've got time."
I sat for a split second, glaring daggers at the red eyed boy in front of me, which I could've swore he gave me an amused smirk to, but I couldn't be sure. With a slight sigh, I looked at the number and answered it quickly. I took in a slight breath to say something, but froze in my traks. The phone number I had just answered was Silver's...!
Fire raised a brow at me, but I continued to stay silent.
Then, the voice on the other end spoke, "If you're trying to be an alarm clock, you can't really be one if I can't hear you." The voice was obviously a male voice. It was cocky sounding, full of confidence...Definately the Silver I had been talking to all this time.
At the sound of his voice, I sqeaked and fumbled with my phone, eventually snapping it shut. I looked up at Fire guiltily who had a little smile tugging at his lips. I huffed and tried to ignore him as I texted Silver, but when I snapped that thing closed, you can bet yout master ball Fire instantly started talking.
"That's an improvement." Fire spoke as he picked a box of pocky off of Leaf's nightstand and started eating them one by one. "Now, Blue, I'd like if you started talking. Red can be left in the dark all he wants, but I'm not the same."
Reluctantly, I did as I was told (which was a first for me). I began with how I met Silver, out time spent together, our seperation, our promise, and all the way up to recent events. I did this all while texting Silver in the process, of course. It was kind of odd, since it seemed he had an unwelcome guest as well. His guest couldn't be worse than Fire, though.
"-And when Shigeru mentioned him, and I found out it was really Silver, I guess I realized how much I started to miss him after all this time..." I explained. "So I started texting to atleast try and talk to him somehow. I smiled a little. "He means...Alot to me."
Fire paused, then spoke, "Huh. So you're in love with him, like I thought."
I stared at him silently. "Very funny. I am not. Jeez, Fire..."
He blinked at me for a second, a pocky stick laying limply in his mouth. "...Okay then." he said, then grabbed a pokeball from his belt and held it out as he stared with his usual empty look. "What would you do if I killed him, then? Because you know I can do it."
I jumped on my knees quickly, glaring menacingly at the person in front of me. "If you do that, I'll beat the fuck out of you." I threatened.
More silence.
Without a word, Fire stood up and walked over to my bed. He poked me on my forehead gently, which made me blink and stare in confusion. What the hell? How do you go from threatening to kill someone to poking me?
"I think you need to do just that: think. I think you're mistaking the sisterly love you had for him for something else, Blue." Fire told me, his voice soft and low with sincerety.
"What...?"
He nodded. "Do that. You'll figure something out."
Once he said that, he ate the last pocky stick in the box he took from Leaf's nightstand, threw it in the little trashcan near the door, and walked out. Once he did, I blinked in confusion as I still sat there on my bed staring up at nothing. 'Think', Fire says...
Then, I got a text back from Silver, and what was written there blew me away so much to the point I put a hand on one of my cheeks. How did he...?
~Aoi's not your real name because sometimes when I say it, you say "who?", you say you have a twin sister but hide the fact you haven't seen her in a long time, when YOU'RE mad, you try to hide it by using way too many smiley faces in your texts (and fail miserably, by the way), and you already know I'm open to admit I do look forward talking to you everyday so you're only saying that to try and see if I'll get mad (which can't happen). On a random note, I DO want you to know I WILL get you to talk to me over the phone.
-Silver-Eyed Tsundere~
I layed down on my bed while hugging the phone close to my chest, not once attempting to close it. The, I did what Fire told me: I thought. I thought for a long time, actually. I never replied to Silver until four hours later.
...
Shiro was staring at me with her mouth showing no emotion as if she was staring blankly at me. I tilted me head to the side and waved a hand in front of her face.
Slowly, she took in a deep breath and said, "So? What came to your mind when you thought about it?"
I laughed and rubbed my head, grinning sheepishly. "Nothing at all! I'm still where I started! Hahaha!"
Cue me receiving another blank stare and awkward silence.
"Blue, are you originally a blonde or something?"
"Nope. Why?"
Shiro suddenly grabbed me by my shoulders and started shaking me wildly. "Because you're the most oblivious woman I've ever met in my life! That, or you're one damn good actress!"
"Gah! Shiro, stop shaking me!" I shouted back, trying to pry her hands off of me.
She stopped shaking me and stared at me. Even with that annoying hood hiding all of her face except her mouth and a little of her nose, I could tell she was looking at me straight in the eye.
"You're in love with him, Blue."
"How do you even know?"
Shiro shook me again. "Because it's so obvious and because I said so! For the love of Arceus!"
"Oh, now you're cursing Arceus?" I asked mockingly.
"It's perfectly fine. It's not like I'm insulting Reshiram or anything."
I snorted. "You're so going to hell."
She was silent again for a third time. Does she enjoy awkward silences like this or something?
"Blue, you know nothing about Unovan religion, do you?" Shiro questioned.
I shook my head.
She sighed. "Good. Let's keep it that way."
Why would she say that? Wierd much?
"Anyway, Blue, I think you've said enough. You know what you gotta do, right? You have to talk to Silver when you get back to your room."
I nodded and smiled happily. "Sure. But...Would you mind if we talk a little longer, Shiro dear?"
She shook her head and smiled as well. "Not at all."
(FINALLY DONE. I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE. I should actually be doing a project that's worth 4 test grades and stuff, but here I am...I'm such an idiot. Lol Anyway, hoped you guys liked. I you didn't...Well, oh well. I tried. I LOVE YOU ALL, HAPPY NEW YEARS, HUGS/KISS/AND WHATEVER OTHER SHIZNIT! ^^ And if there's any errors...Please tell me. ; - ;
AH, right, Anyway...About Fire and Red..I don't see them as the same person. This is what Fire looks like in my story: h*ttp:/www.*zerochan*.net/3392*90, and this is the Red in my story: h*ttp:/www.*zerochan*.net/7538*76. (Take out the *'s if you want to see the pictures.) So basically, the Red in this story is from Special, not the silent one everyone loves and/or thinks is really hot. Fire takes over that position here. I just wanted to say that.)
