Hi hi!

Amy: Hello, hello, hello, how low?

Azazel:...?

Me: Yeah, she's got a thing for songs at the moment. I don't know why; she was real into Puzzles at one point.

Amy: All I did was challange a rubix cube!

Azazel:...?

Me: Just...Don't bother, Amy has, and never will make sense. You should see when she calls people-

Amy: I use to call her on my cellphone~

Azazel:...What even?

Amy: No? Okay, wait, I've got this...I use to call her on my "Keetai"~

Me: You've got the lyrics all messed up.

Amy: No I didn't! I'm borderline happy and I'm borderline sad; I'm borderline good and I'm borderline bad!

Me: You used that song already.

Azazel: But they are kinda good...and funny

Amy: Yeah, see! damn, wish we could turn back time-

Me: No-

Amy: -To the good 'ole days!

Me: Just stop-

Azazel: When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we're stress out.

Me: Ack, not you too!

Azazel: Well, I never did get to meet my mom...So...Yeah...

Me: Umm..Yeah...So...Anyway...

ONWARDS!

It had been a long time since she'd last felt so calm and relaxed around someone that wasn't her three. Unlike Dante, Yami was…nice.

He was easy to be around, always smiling, always holding a smile on his face, "That's the poffin house; wanna go in?"

Azazel shook her head, "Nah, I'm good. I can't bake to save my life."

Yami laughed, "You know, you didn't strike me as the funny type." He murmured, clasping his hands behind himself, "You seem like a real serious person."

Azazel smiled, "Well, to be honest; I try to be." She admitted, pulling at her hair absentmindedly, "Where I moved, I had to be serious."

Yami gave her a look, "How old are you?"

"…12, Why?"

Yami gave her a look, "You're only twelve!?" He sked, only to sigh, "Not my point. Did the people you live with really expect you to act like an adult?"

"Yes."

Yami's eyes went wide, before he whistled, "Wow, you're real hardcore!"

"Umm…Thank you?"

Yami laughed, shaking her a bit, "You lived a sealed-off life or something?"

"…You could say that."

Yami boke into a big grin, "You sure aren't normal."

Azazel couldn't help but feel a bit offended, "I'm sorry?"

Yami's eyes widened, "N-no, I didn't mean it like that!" He said quickly, "I meant it as in…You're special."

"mm…Thanks?"

"…Let's just move on." He murmured, walking on.

The two walked on, an odd silence filling the air as they passed the a tall building with white pillars and an arched doorway, "…Hey, Yami."

"Hmm?"

"What's that?"

Yami looked up at the building, "That? Oh, it's the contest hall. All of the best coordinators gather there to see who's the best."

"Like…A sort of Pokémon pageant?"

Yami cocked his head to the side, only to nod, "Yeh, kind of. Look, earlier, I didn't mean to offend you."

"It's okay; it just caught me off guard, that's all." Azazel insisted.

Yami nodded, walking on. The sun slowly sank back into the mountain's cover, "…Hey, Az. Can I call you Az?"

Azazel nodded, "Sure; what do you need?"

"Wanna grab dinner with me?"

Azazel was oblivious to Yami's shy smile, as she nodded, "Sure. Where would you recommend?"

Azazel had lost track of time, and before she knew it, she was seated in a nice light pink restaurant, the theme seeming to revolve around the Contest hall, with the white pillars holding up the dome-like ceiling.

Yami sat across from her, smiling warmly, "So then…Umm…" He said, before laughing nervously, "I'm sorry. I can't really think of anyway to start conversation…" He laughed, before snapping his fingers, "So, who's your first Pokémon?"

Azazel sighed, rubbing the back of her head, "To be honest, I had those three since I was a kid. The Budew is the only real new one, got Ivy in the forest."

Yami's eyes widened, "Really? How?"

"I grew up with them." Azazel said, shrugging, before laughing lightly to herself, "They haven't changed much from then, really. My Lucario, he's still kinda…'Whimpish'. He means well, and he's a nice guy; but he's not very strong, nor is he confident."

Yami nodded, "What about you're Empoleon?"

Azazel laughed lightly, "He's always been really stern. He's like a huge metal wall. A loveable, meaningful metal wall. He's a nice guy, once you've gotten under how scary he can be at times. I don't know how, but he can cook real good."

Yami laughed once again, "An Empoleon that can cook? I need to see that to believe it." He laughed, "So, you said there were three?"

"Ah, yes; the troublemaker." Azazel murmured, rubbing the back of her head, "He's never been a guy for…rules."

"So...he's not evil, is he?" Yami pushed.

"W-what? No, no way!" Azazel shook her head, "No, he's just…So out of it. He's a good guy, a great guy; he just doesn't know when to stop. Fighting him is like fighting some animal with no leash, nothing to hold it back. He's a no-bars-held kind of guy."

Yami nodded, "Yeah, my Houndoom use to be like that, before he evolved." Yami murmured, only to tilt his head to the side, "I had nicknamed his Kasai back then; don't really use that nickname now. But my Houndoom grew out of it."

Azazel shrugged, about to press on, only to have the waitress come back, "Here's your food; enjoy!"

Azazel looked it over, poking the fish, "…Is this a Magikarp?"

Yami stopped eating all together, looking at his plate in fake horror, "My Arceus; it is!"

The two shared a small laugh, before they went on. Yami took a sip of water, before sighing, "So, did you nickname them?"

"Hmm?" Azazel asked absentmindedly, only to nod, "Yeah. I gave them names that I thought fit them when I was younger." She said. It was silent, before she finally realized that he was waiting, "Oh…Oh yeah. So, I had nicknamed Lucario Lucas, since I figured that it sounded like-."

"A wimpy name." Yami finished, snickering.

"I didn't mean it that way!" Azazel cried, but it was too late. Yami was laughing, tears in his eyes, before finally coming to a stop.

"I'm s-sorry." Yami laughed, "That's…just kinda funny."

Azazel couldn't help but break into a small laugh, "Yeah, that must have been a small joke when I was younger." She laughed, before leaning forward, "Guess what I nicknamed my Empoleon?"

Yami sighed, "Hmm, lemme think…He sounds like a real formal guy, right?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm…Gotta think…E names…E names…" Yami murmured, holding his head, "I've got nothing."

"Of, come on; you can get it!" Azazel insisted, smiling, "There aren't to many formal E names."

"Yes there are!" Yami groaned, holding his head, before it snapped into place, "Got it! Edward, right?"

Azazel nodded, "Yeah!" She said, smiling, "Sounds real formal, doesn't it?"

"Very." Yami nodded, "I don't know why it took so long for me to figure out, in all honesty. It was so easy to understand too!"

Azazel nodded, taking another bite of the still-mystery fish, before asking, "So, ho old are you?"

"Turned 14 a little while ago." Yami murmured, laughing lightly, "It wasn't anything real special though, just another day."

"But it's your birthday!" Azazel insisted, "Didn't you celebrate?"

Yami nodded, "Well…Umm…All I have is Houndoom."

"What about family?" Azazel asked.

A shiver went up Yami's back, as he rubbed the back of his neck, "…I never did meet my dad." He started slowly, as Azazel's eyes widened.

"You don't have to-."

"N-N-no, it's okay." Yami murmured, shaking ever so slightly, before taking a deep breath, "Had an older brother; left when I was two. Said he'd go join the war, find dad while he was at it." Yami sniffled lightly, "They sent his body in the next week."

Azazel could only listen, to paralyzed by the fear of saying the wrong thing, while Yami went on, "My mom, she tried to stay strong. She didn't like it when I left." He had to stop himself at this point, tears streaking down his face, "S-sorry, I'm rambling."

"No, it's my fault. I asked." Azazel murmured, rubbing her wrists.

"What about you?" Yami asked, only to jump back a bit, "I mean, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Azazel shook her head, "No, I pried into your life, it's only fair for me to return the favor." She murmured, before taking a deep breath, "I don't know my birth dad, and I don't have many clear memories of my birth mom…But, I do remember someone." Azazel laughed lightly, "This guy, his name was Hase; h took me in. He was a real…noble-honorable person. Great guy."

Yami nodded, taking a sip of water, "So, he's not related to you?"

"Not in any possible way. "Azazel insisted, giggling to herself, "Honestly, Hase isn't…Normal enough to be human at times."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. It's weird, he was psychic at times; always knowing where I was and where I'd be." Azazel said, laughing to herself, "What's so funny?"

"Come to think of it; he was a real good fighter too."

Yami nodded, "Gotta be, if you wanna survive in this world."

Something about the way he had said that caught Azazel off guard, "…Well, in that case, I kinda wish that he'd taught me a move or two."

Yami nodded, before sighing, leaning back, "That was a good meal, wouldn't you agree?"

Azazel nodded, before a long yawn drew itself from her mouth, "Sure was."

Yami got up from his chair, before holding out his hand for her to shake, "Listen, Az; thanks for joining me. But, I've got to get back on the road, places to go, people to see; ya know?"

Azazel nodded, standing up on her own, "Yeah, I understand. Thank you as well; it's been a while since ve last been able to relate that well with someone new."

"You said it." Yami said, smiling, before looking around. Once he was sure no one was staring, be placed a small chaste kiss on the back of her hand, "I'll see you around…Hopefully." Yami said, and with a shy smile, he was gone.

Azazel stood there, stunned, only to shake her head, her brain still processing what had just happened.

Me: Yeah, sorry for the short chapter, you guys.

Azazel: Can I go and take a nap now?

Amy: No. I'm taking you too lunch.

Azazel: *Blushing* Like...Like a date?

Amy: WHAT!? HELL NO, NOT IN THAT WAY!

Me: I belive that she means as friends, Azazel. Oh, speaking of which, does anyone understand where the name "Azazel" came from? If you do, put it in the reviews! If not, just try to guess; I'd like to know where you guys think the name came from.

Amy: If ya ask me, it sounds like a name of a demon. Like the name of a serial killer.

Azazel: What? No, I'd never.

Me: Are you sure? A lot can happen to a person during there journey.

Azazel: What's that suppose to mean?

Amy: People change; that's all.

Azazel: I'm aware; but nothing that drastic could ever happen; right?

Amy: Oh, you've got no idea.

Me: The outside world is a very dangerous place, it'll do things to the brightest people.

Amy: True.

Azazel: The world's a scary place.

Amy: Yeah, the world's all like "Oh, I love you; DIE!"

Me:...Yeah...Sure...

Anyway...

This is the mark of the end of the chapter. Now that we've got Yami in the picture, only more will come along. More people, more options, more ships. Put it in the reviews if you ship Azazel X Dante or Azazel X Yami.

Or, if you're into the ships that make no sense, like, I don't know, Azazel X Kenny; then feel free to leave those in the reivews as well!

Well, I'm finished for now guys, hope you ll enjoyed, please do leave a reivew so I know what I'm doing right and/or wrong! That's it then, I'll cya later on!
