Different From The Rest Chpt 7
A/N: Hey everyone! Everyone's favourite Gardevour is back. Now I know the last chapter had a lot of mixed feelings to people thinking that I jumped the gun too quickly with going into sex and I completely agree with you. I should have led it off, there probably wont mech more for another couple of chapters but there may be some fluffy time between Akemi and Takashi. This chapter is them dealing with the consequences of what they had done. As always thank you very much for taking your time out to read my stories, it means a lot and if you could leave a review and favourite as it is greatly appreciated!
I slowly opened my weary eyes. The room was dimly lit from the drawn curtains and the faint essence of the suns rays shining through. I looked to my side and saw Akemi was still asleep underneath the duvet. I sighed and got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I ran the cold water tap and started to splash my face, washing away my fatigue. I looked myself in the mirror and sighed
"Did I really have... Sex with Akemi. Oh Arceus..." I said to myself "Why did I let it happen?"
My mind flashed back to last night. I remembered the look on her face as she pleaded with me to let her do it. I knew it was wrong and yet I still let it happen. This is not going to be a recurring thing. If she gets bogged down by all of this then everything I've done will be for nothing. I've tried my best to let her have a life like a normal Pokémon. Scratch that, like a normal person, and now I've gone and tainted her. An intense feeling of guilt washed over me as I returned back to the bedroom and saw Akemi still lying in the same position. I smiled at her peacefulness but frowned again when I thought about what I had to do. I went over to her side of the bed and sat down on it. I placed my hand on her shoulder and shook her lightly. She slowly started to stir in her sleep and lifted her weary eyelids. Her eyes scanned around until they locked with mine.
"Morning Akemi, did you sleep well?'' I asked
"Yes I did, thank you'' she replied, propping her back up against the headboard
She still looked tired from last night. My smile faltered a little and looked away from her. She looked at me inquisitively.
"Is everything alright Takashi?" she asked
"U-um yeah...no...Listen Akemi" she stared at my with her huge red eyes "Do you...Remember what we did last night?" She nodded, now looking down at the covers "Now, as much as I enjoyed it and I'm sure you did too...we really shouldn't be doing that ok? I'm not angry at you, it was my fault for letting it happen"
"...I-I'm really sorry T-Takashi..." She started to tear up
I quickly brought her into my arms "Oh no Akemi please don't cry" I pat her back as she cried into my shoulder. I hushed her quietly in her ear and held her close. "Its ok... don't cry please, it's not your fault , I promise. It's my fault for leading you down that path"
She looked up at me, the face she had made my heart melt. I wanted to just pretend she was a Ralts again and I could just cradle her I my arms like a baby and make all her worries just disappear. She didn't ask to be like this, she didn't ask to be born that way. If word ever got out about what we did, Akemi would be taken from me and have God knows what done to her, and I no doubt would be put in jail for pokephilia for a very long time. I shook those thoughts from my head and looked back down at her and sat her on my lap. I wiped the tears from her eyes, for her size, she was still like a kid on the inside, dealing with mixed feelings and emotions.
"C'mon now, big girls don't cry ok? This wasn't your fault so stop blaming yourself. It was my fault, it's my burden to bare"
"B-but I made you do it..." Akemi said between sniffles
"Forget about that, I've forgiven you so don't worry. What we need to do for one is get out of this room I think so why don't you go take a shower and I'll pack our things" She nodded lightly on got off my lap to head into the bathroom.
I sighed heavily once she closed the door and ran my fingers through my hair. I got up and opened the curtains fully to let the light shine into the room. I looked down at the streets below and saw the townsfolk had already started their day. I turned back around and began to pack our bags. I looked at the walls as I did so
"I sure hope those walls are soundproof..." I said, remembering how Akemi sounded last night
TIME-SKIP
Akemi and I made our way down to the lobby to give our keys back to the front desk.
"Here you go" I gave the keys back to the lady behind the desk. She gave me a sceptical look
"I hoped you enjoyed your stay..." she tried to avert her eyes from my stare, as if she had a vague idea of what happened last night. I just nodded and turned around, leaving the hotel.
I made sure Akemi was close to me when we left as I held her by her waist, If people were going to look at her, I would share the stare from the sea of eyes too. Sure enough as we were walking we started to draw attention again, I could tell she was getting uncomfortable again. I moved my hand up from her waist to her shoulder and kept her close.
"Just ignore them ok? It'll be fine once we get out of here"
She nodded and we continued walking to the edge of town. As we got to the outskirts, we came across a Pokémon Center, we didn't really need to go in for anything so we passed it by but when we got to the rear we could see a battlefield with some kids and their Pokémon standing around on it. We decided to go and say hello. When we got closer we could see that it was two larger kids with a Raticate and a Mightyena. They were all baring down on one smaller kid with his little Mudkip.
"Look at you, you're so weak!" One of the bigger kids said
"Yeah, you would never beat us with that stupid little Mudkip" the other followed
The smaller kid fell to the ground while clutching his injured starter in his arms and began to sob. We made our way over as fast as we could once we realised what was going on.
"Hey hey! Leave him alone you little twerps!" I said as we got closer.
The both turned our way and then immediately burst out laughing when they saw that I had Akemi beside me. I couldn't make out what they were saying through the laughter but it was something along the lines of "Look at this guy with his girly Pokémon!" That wouldn't be the first time someone underestimated Akemi because of her looks. As much as I wanted to be the bigger man and walk away, they wouldn't learn their lesson of they weren't punished, also I hadn't seen what Akemi was capable of as a Gardevoir society was intrigued to see what she could do.
"Okay, I got a deal for you then, we'll do a two v one, if I win you leave this little guy alone and if you win we'll both leave" They both accepted the offer without hesitation and continued laughing onto their edge of the field.
I looked back at the little guy on the ground " Dont worry, we've got this, go inside and get your Mudkip looked at" The boy nodded frantically and got up off the ground and ran inside. I turned to Akemi " This is a good way to take our minds of things, try not to kill them ok, just rough them up a little" I could tell she was already in her battle mind-set, staring the opposition down with that freaky smile of hers. She nodded and made her way onto the Battlefield. Once both sides were ready, the board at the side of the field started to count down to the match start, when it did so, the was a loud falcon sound signalling that the match had begun.
"Raticate use Dig!" one shouted
"Mightyena, Iron tail!" The other exclaimed
Akemi looked back at me for permission "Do what you do best" was all I said and that sent her into a frenzy. She charged head on to the Attacking Mightyena, baring in mind that the Raticate was still under ground. To my amazement, she actually let the Iron Tail hit her, I wasn't worried, just confused.
"Ahh that felt good" Akemi said in a breathless tone
Then she grabbed the Mightyena by the tail right at the moment the Raticate burst out of the ground, she swung the wolf around to smack into the rat and threw them both across the field. "Aw c'mon, I haven't have nearly enough fun yet" she said as she cracked her knuckles. Then she lifted them both off of the ground with her Psychic and threw them high in the air. Next I saw her use a move that I hadn't seen before, she used Double Team to create multiple afterimages of herself and furiously attack the Pokémon in the air. It reminded me so much of that manga I had read about a ninja boy who could do the exact same thing to overwhelm his opponents. Once the afterimages had disappeared and revealed two very beat up Pokémon, I thought the dight was over but just before they hit the ground, I hadn't noticed that Akemi had been charging up a Hyper Beam and she released it on the two very injured Pokémon. I turned around, not even wanting to know what happened to them. Akemi then came bouncing over to me moments later dusting off her dress, she has definitely got more insane I thought.
"Are we ready to go now?" she asked
I stared at her for a moment before taking a risky decision out in public "God, I love you so much" I quickly planted my lips on hers to give her a quick kiss. She had frozen once i had already kissed her but smiled brightly after it and gave me the best hug I have ever had in my life.
