Hi everyone! ...Yay! I've gotten more then 50 reviews for this story!!! Thanks to all the people who reviewed! At the rest of you...glares. Kidding. Anyways, this ch. contains subtle shippy hints...very subtle. So have fun reading and review!

Disclaimer: Pokemon is not mine.

Note: This, -The Thin Line Between Love and Hate-, is a section break. A SECTION break, not P.O.V. break. For instance, two/more people's P.O.V. can be in a section break. Erm...read it to understand. Just to clarify; hope you get what I mean...carry on.


Sapphire's P.O.V.

"HURRY UP!" I shouted, pounding on the door.

For the last 20 minutes, I'd been standing in front of the bathroom door, yelling and pounding on it for Ruby to open the door.

"I swear girly-boy, if you don't open this door in the next 30 seconds, I'll break it down!" I yelled as a final warning.

No answer. I shrugged, it was his fault, not mine, that he didn't open the door. I backed up and counted silently in my head. One, two, three…

"CHARGE!!!!!" I ran full speed at the door with my eyes closed, braced for impact…just as the door opened.

"What the-?" was all I heard before I ran into something firm, but soft.

"Oof!" Whatever I had ran into fell down and I quickly followed.

Luckily, my fall was broken by the very thing I had run into. I opened my eyes cautiously. Had I really broken down that door? I know I'm strong, but those things are thick! I must have some serious muscle!

It turned out that I hadn't broken down the door. Instead, looking straight up at me, his face not a foot away, was Ruby. He had a look that said, "What the fuck just happened?!?"

"Uh…." I couldn't find anything to say to break the awkwardness. What made the situation even more awkward was a.) Ruby was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts and strangely enough, his hat, but no shirt. And b.) I was still laying on top of him, with my legs between his and his arms around my waist. Yeah, very awkward.

Luckily, I didn't have to think of what to say. "Why did you just attempt to break into my bathroom?" Ruby asked, looking at me strangely.

"Your bathroom?" I asked accusingly, "For your information, we have to share (I shuddered) this bathroom and since you weren't opening the door even after I've be yelling for 20 minutes for you to hurry up, I was going to break down the door."

He stared at me for about a second then started to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

No answer. He just laughed harder and I could feel his whole body shaking with laughter since I was still on top of him.

"I said, what's so funny?!?"

"You," he managed to gasp out, "…breaking down a door… You wouldn't even have enough muscle to break down a branch, let alone a door."

I raised my eyebrows, "Oh yeah? I might not have been able to break down that door, but I bet I could break your neck!!!"

With that, I sat up, grabbing his neck and squeezing as hard as I could, choking him. His laughter immediately stopped and he grabbed my wrists as we engaged in a serious battle of tug-of-war.

We continued for several minutes, him successfully freeing himself from my grasp before I would once again, lunge at him and start choking him again. Obviously I wasn't trying to kill him; I just wanted him to admit that I had the strength to break down a door. This was one fight I was not going to lose.

"Get…off…me…" he said, pulling my hands off.

"Take back what you said about me not being able to break down a door!"

"No way!" he yelled. I had to admit, this guy had a hell of a lot of pride and he wasn't going to give up easily.

I grabbed him once more, but he managed to roll away. I sprang at him and tackled him, pinning him down.

"Give up! There's no way you could win!" I yelled.

"Excuse me…Oh!"

We both looked toward the door I had barged in from. A maid stood there, looking shocked. I looked down and realized we were in a position best suited behind closed doors. Once again, Ruby was on his back, but he was propped up on his elbows while I had grabbed onto his shoulders and my legs were partially wrapped around his waist. Both of us were breathing heavily, Ruby's hat was askew, and my hair was probably pretty messed up.

"Um…I'm sorry for interrupting you! I heard noises outside and thought you might need my assistance, so please excuse me!" The red-faced nurse rushed out of the room after bowing to us repeatedly.

"Could you get off me now?" Ruby asked. I complied, jumping up onto my feet quickly.

He stood up more slowly, picking up a plain black shirt and slipping it on. Then he looked straight at me.

"Let's agree never to ever tell anyone about this, deal?" he said, holding out his hand.

"Deal." We shook hands, letting go quickly. "Now will you get out so I can finish dressing?" he said, raising an eyebrow and smirking.

I blushed and looked away, "Just hurry up!" I walked out of the bathroom, my face still hot from what had just happened.

-The Thin Line Between Love and Hate-

Red's P.O.V.

There it was again; the sound of someone (or something) shuffling toward my room.

I opened my eyes slightly to see what was coming. The clock on the desk read 10:30 P.M. At the moment, I was lying on my bed, facing toward the bathroom and closet doors.

I tensed up as the sound got louder. 'Please let it not it be one of those crazy fan girls!'I shuddered, remembering how they had broken into my room last year, attempting to take pictures of me.

"Pika?"

My Pikachu, Pika, stirred at my sudden movement. He had been lying at the end of my bed and now looked at me worriedly.

"It's nothing, go back to sleep," I whispered to him. He shrugged but complied willingly, curling back into a little yellow ball.

Once again, I listened carefully for the sound of footsteps. They sounded very light and faint, as if the person (or thing) that made them wasn't very heavy.

The sound came closer and closer. Finally they stopped in the doorway of the bathroom. I blinked in surprise.

"Yellow?" I said out loud.

She didn't answer; instead, she just kept walking.

"Yellow?" I asked again. Then I realized; she was sleepwalking!

She walked all the way to my bed then stopped and lay down on it. She smiled contently and snuggled close to me. I felt myself blush and was grateful that at least Yellow was asleep and couldn't see.

"What do I do now?" I muttered. I didn't get any response, but I expected that. After all, both Yellow and Pika were asleep.

After a while of thinking, I decided to take Yellow back to her room. I picked her up, not very surprised at how light she was.

"Nn…"

I inhaled sharply, afraid she'd woken up. I looked down cautiously. Yellow was still asleep as she grabbed onto my shirt with both hands and pushing her head against my chest. I felt myself grow warm, but pushed it away, focusing on not bumping into anything in the dark.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, I was standing next to Yellow's bed. I laid her on the bed, gently prying her hands off my shirt. She frowned slightly and I smiled. Yellow was turning out to be a much more interesting girl then I initially thought she was.

"Goodnight Yellow," I whispered softly, as I walked back to my room.

Normal P.O.V.

Unseen by Red as he walked out of the room, Yellow smiled.

-The Thin Line Between Love and Hate-

Green's P.O.V.

My eyes snapped open. I realized that screams were coming from Blue's room.

Barely aware of what I was doing, I ran through the bathrooms to Blue's bedroom as fast as I could and stopped dead in my tracks when I got there.

Blue lay in her bed, screaming over and over again. I ran to her bedside and shook her.

"Blue! Wake up," I yelled.

No response. Blue shook, clutching her head as if she were in pain, and continued to scream.

"Blue! Wake up! BLUE!" I continued yelling over her screams and shook her. Finally I slapped her across the face, hoping I wouldn't hurt her too badly.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open.

Blue's P.O.V.

"Where are you Blue?"

I didn't answer, pushing myself to run faster. I ran blindly through the dense forest, branches catching onto my clothes as thorns scratched me. I gasped for air, feeling the stitch in my side. No! I couldn't stop! I had to keep running.

"Come back Blue! You know you can't get away!"

The voice was familiar, cold, and mocking. I shuddered, but kept running.

Finally, I saw a light far away…if only I could reach it! I pushed myself even harder.

"You can't get away Blue. Remember, I still have Silver…"

Silver! I turned back and saw Silver staring at me on the opposite side of the light. He didn't speak, but I saw his lips move in a silent plea for help.

I started to run back for Silver.

"Silly Blue, you fell for the trap!"

I looked up into a pair of huge, piercing yellow eyes. I screamed, fear pounding through me as the eyes came closer and the sound of cruel laughter filled my ears.

"Blue!"

A different voice from the cruel one, yet, just as familiar called out.

"Blue! Wake up!"

"Who are you? Where are you?" I called back. I could feel the ground shaking beneath me.

"BLUE!"

Gasping, I opened my eyes. I blinked in the darkness, trying to see.

"What happened?"

I turned, startled, and realized Green was standing next to my bed. I could barely make out his outline, but his green eyes shone clearly as he stared at me.

"What happened?" he repeated.

"Huh? Oh nothing…" I finally answered.

From the way he looked at me, he obviously didn't believe me. I tried to ignore him; instead, I focused on my hands in my lap. They shook badly and I realized that I was covered in sweat.

"Why can't you tell me?" Green asked, sitting on my bed. I scooted away slightly.

"I told you, there's nothing to tell," I replied shortly. He tried to catch my eye, but I looked away.

Green wouldn't understand. My dream…more like my nightmare, was so real. It had been a while since I'd had one of them. I shuddered, remembering the sound of his laughter.

Something touched my shoulder and I flinched. Green's eyes softened as I pulled my arm away from his hand.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine." In a way, I wanted to tell Green what I had just dreamed about. I couldn't though. We may have once been childhood friends, but now he was nothing more than a complete stranger.

Green's eyes begged me to tell him, but after I didn't say anything more, he stood up.

"Since you're better now, I'm going back to bed. 'Night," Green said as he walked out.

"Night," I said softly, before letting myself drift back into sleep and hoping no more bad dreams would come.


A/N: Yeah...sorry if it lacked specialshippyness, but a.) I'm not a HUGE specialshipper and b.) It will come later in the story. So, continue reading and review please! I need reviews to motivate me...
