Keagan finished setting Alexi in her bed and sighed, feeling a heavy weight at the bottom of his stomach. Alexi had been completely wiped out and fallen asleep almost immediately. Ash had been distracted right after the scenario and left to his room with that little… thing in his back pack. He found it annoying really. It was ironic that he had just cut some sort of metal thing out of the back of her neck and now he didn't seem to think that it was strange at all or that he should explain it. But it bothered him… for more than one reason. And he was determined to get an answer from Ash.
"Ash!" Ash let his legs drop off "his" bed and looked away from evaluating the disk to see a truly angry Keagan before him.
"I don't need to ask you what that thing is…" He started with a sharp edge in his voice, hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. "But I do want to know how you knew what it was and how to get it out."
Ash kept his face completely neutral and slipped the disk into his pocket. "Why should I tell you?" His voice was neither angry nor resentful. In fact, it held barely any emotion at all and Keagan found it unnerving.
"Because…" he faltered and let out a breath to calm himself. "Because if I find out that you… that you…"
"That I what?" He stood up and started getting the same edge that Keagan had in his voice. "That what?"
Keagan stared Ash in the eye. He started grinding his teeth and had he been thinking strait he would have found it painful. He clenched his eyes shut and Ash briefly noted to himself what a strange reaction this was for Keagan before he was lifted off the ground by one of Keagan's Pokemon.
"Tell me where you learned to do that!"
Sure Ash found in annoying and slightly painful to be completely bound a few feet off of the ground by a large Ivyasaur. His body, mind, and heart, started going back to everything it had been taught in these situations and he felt all the resolve he had just felt with Alexi flow out the open window. He hardened his heart and as such wiped any sign of emotion off his face. Then he just let himself go limp in the Pokemon's grip. It was easy enough and he knew from personal experience how much it would frustrate his opponent.
Keagan was getting frustrated. He felt as though he were talking to the wall behind Ash. He wanted an answer and he was going to get it. "Answer me or I swear I'll use one of my other Pokemon on you." Ash didn't show whether Keagan's threat actually threatened him or not and Keagan felt fear rising into his gut. He was almost sure he knew what Ash was doing. "Say something! Yell at me! Laugh at me! I don't care!"
Ash did change his face but only just barely and the only thing it told Keagan was that he wasn't backing down. To Ash's surprise Keagan stopped with his attempts. He told Ivyasaur to hold him still and then pulled Ash's collar down just barely. Ash's eyes widened and he actually started struggling. If anyone else were looking they would have completely overlooked the small design on Ash's collar bone. Three rather small dots put in a triangular shape and very close together. That's it. Nothing major. Right?
Keagan pulled away and looked at Ash with something close to loathing. "Answer."
Ash had finally lost it. There was no need for the charade anymore and he knew it. "You already know the answer. Now let me down." Ash wriggled a bit but Keagan knew what he was doing. "I really don't want to have to hurt your Pokemon."
Keagan started grinding his teeth again and managed to force out. "Ivyasaur… d-drop him."
Ok. Sorry it's so short but I have a thought and I just need to ask you people what you think. After starting to improve my writing skills (I swear I am), I have seen the error of my ways… or writing…. Anywho, the point is that I am considering taking down this story, rewriting it, and then putting it back up. What do you guys think? Even if you haven't reviewed I would appreciate a review for this. Even just a simple yes or no would work. I simply need to know if I should rewrite it or not. (starts crying) Is that to much to ask? Ok I'm done. Those were fake tears by the way. Just tell me what you think. And if nobody reviews I will probably just rewrite it… maybe.
