So, yesterday, inspration struck.

I won't go into it too much, but I've got another idea for a Black butler fic. If I ever do post this story (I have the first two chapters down), it'll most likely be in summer.

But, before that comes, I need to know, do you guys want another black butler fanfiction?

Just a warning, it'll have nothing to do with "From Ash to Dust", the story is (so far) mainly a (wannabe) romance, and...Yeah, that's about it.

Amy: can we please get back to the task at hand?

Azazel: Wow...

Amy: What?

Azazel: You said that is a calm manner.

Amy:...Go fuck yourself.

Azazel: Aaaaaaaaaaand she's back.

Me: Stop it, you two! I've got a chapter to do, and just because Erin isn't here, that doesn't mean that Azazel can sub in!

Erin: Good thing I'm here then!

Amy:...

Azazel:...

Me:...ONWARDS!

Azazel pushed her way past the panicked bystanders, as they ran about, screaming as they did so.

She fought her way over to the Pokémon gym, only to have another rattle rumble through the ground, shaking her knees from under her.

She would have fallen over it Empoleon hadn't grabbed her, hauling her back up, "Are you alright?" He asked frantically.

Azazel nodded, feeling like her stomach was fighting out of her throat, "Fine."

Just then, the gym doors slide open, a very scared looking Elissa jumping out, Dante right after, looking a bit sick.

Elissa looked over to Azazel, before rushing over, throwing her arms around her waist for both support and comfort, "W-what happened?" She asked, the ground still shaking.

"I…I don't know!" Azazel shouted over the roar of the crowd, as Dante slowly made his way very, holding his head as he did so.

"I'm…Gonna…Be sick…" He murmured, nearly throwing up then and there, only to keep his ground. He gave Azazel a look, nearly making her flinch back, only to have him shake his head, "Do you…Know what…Happened!?"

"No!" Azazel said for the second time, trying to shake the wooziness that slowly tried to take over her head, "I don't!"

Dante cursed, before looking up, eyes wide, "The hell is that!?"

Azazel looked up to see smoke rising from farther behind, around the resort.

Azazel fought her way back to the route connector, only to have Dante grab her wrist, "What are you doing!?"

"We've gotta find- oh crap." Azazel murmured, before falling to her knees, the quaking finally enough to make her throw up a bit on the ground.

She felt Empoleon pat her back, "Feeling better?"

"No," Azazel murmured, rubbing the rest of her vomit from her mouth, as she rose shakenly, suddenly feeling panic course through her. The lake in that area, the one that got bombed, lake Valor? Azazel shook her head, hoping and praying to Arceus that Azelf wasn't hurt. Sure, she'd never met any of the lake guardians, but still, she didn't want to think about it, "But still, what if people got hurt from that? They need help!"

Empoleon seemed to catch on rather quickly, nodding, as he helped her along, holding her when another rumble went through the ground.

Dante growled from behind her in an annoyed manner, before trudging from behind her, "I'm going too, then!"

"But, big bro!" Elissa shouted, her voice wavering with the ground, "You'll end up like Azazel!"

Dante shook his head, before reaching out, grabbing Azazel's arm to help stabilize the both of them. Azazel wanted to flinch away, only to have him hold her a bit closer, close enough to feel his breathe on the back of her neck, "I've got this, Elissa! You go and wit in the Pokémon center, here." He managed to say, throwing her a few pokeballs, "You've got everyone but Monferno; protect yourself, okay?"

He didn't wait for Elissa to say anything, before he walked on, holding Azazel's wrist tightly as he did, as if he was afraid the ground would swallow her up.

She was sure that he could feel her shaking, only to have the feeling intensify when he turned around giving her a look. The two stared at each other in the awkward moment, before a grin came across Dante's face, "Hey, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you, okay?"

Surprisingly, at those words, she felt something deep within herself, a new foreign feeling. All the panic from earlier, all of the stress and sadness, it was gone, if only for the moment. She couldn't help but smile, much to Empoleon's discomfort, as she gripped Dante's hand tighter, "Alrighty then, let's go!"

She hadn't expected this.

Even on the mad scramble to get to the lake, after spending a few minutes trying to figure out how to get there, that is; she thought that it couldn't have been too bad.

But it was.

Whatever explosion went off was enough to cause the lake water to evaporate, leaving nothing but a few puddles and flailing Magikarp.

From behind, Empoleon scanned the area, before his eyes widened, "Azazel, duck!"

Not questioning it, Azazel tucked her head between her knees, holding he head down, as a sludge bomb flew over head, missing by a few inches.

"Count my lucky stars, you must be the girl everyone's talking about."

She heard the sound of a pokeball opening, before Monferno appeared behind her, Dante not to far off. He was glaring at a man that stood farther off, his dark blue hair similar to her own, but styled like two horns on his head. He had gold calculating eyes that seemed to be taunting Dante, a hand on his hip, his get-up no different from the rest of the odd space men.

"Damnit, Saturn!" Dante shouted, "We've got something to settle!"

"Don't worry, Dante Nikushimi, you will have your chance." The man, Saturn, said, before his unsettling gaze locked onto Azazel, the side of his straight-line smile bending upwards, "But, first, we've got something to deal with, Azazel."

Azazel's eyes widened, her hands closing around Lucario and Zoroark's pokeballs, before Empoleon stepped forward, looking as menacing as ever, "How…How do you know my name?"

Saturn laughed, as a Pokémon rose from behind him, "Who doesn't know your name and face? After what you did to that poor grunt, we call him Armless now, everyone knows you. Which is a good thing…Since we've wanted to take you in from the very beginning." His smile soon became one of insanity, when he threw his hand to the side, "Toxicroak, poison jab!"

Azazel ducked when the frog-like Pokémon jumped down from behind Saturn, the points on his fists glowing, as he lunged forward, missing the attack by an inch.

From behind she heard Dante roar out a command, causing Monferno to leap into action, only to be stopped by an army of Zubat.

It was only then that Azazel noticed, they'd walked into the crater that had once been the lake, and all around the lake's edge, goons held their pokeballs high, as if they could capture Azazel with them.

"Oh, two poor little mice caught in the trap," Saturn said in mock pity, before grinning, "This'll b a fun game."

Azazel rolled to the side to avoid another attack from the large frog, only to trip, falling over, Toxicroak hovered over her, his arm ready to punch a hole in her head, only to be flown across, to the other side, Empoleon standing where the evil frog once was.. He helped her up, dusting her off, "…Send out Lucario… and leave the fight to us."

Azazel nodded, only to stop, "What about Zoroark?"

Empoleon visibly stiffened, "…After his…Outburst…I do believe that that choice of…action…is not logical."

"But we need the help!" Azazel ignored, before throwing both Pokémon out, "Zachary, Lucas; standby!"

Lucario was as stiff and scared as ever, but there was something a bit…Different in his eyes. The dark red irises had a sort of light blue aura around them, as his shaking body stood his ground.

Zoroark, on the other looked…Unhinged. His smile was a lot more angry, and yet, it held a bit of bloodlust and insanity. He didn't even wait for Azazel's say, before he jumped up, tearing through both Grunts and Pokémon.

Dante looked at the dark type with bewilderment, only to duck under another sludge bomb attack, "Az, your Zoroark's out of control!"

"I noticed!" Azazel shouted, only then cursing herself, as she watched Zoroark rip through the line of Zubat, growling and gnashing his teeth like a sort of monster, "Zach, get a hold of yourself!"

She quickly regretted shouting anything, as the dark type twisted in mid air, throwing a dark pulse her way, "YOU DON'T CONTROL ME!"

She felt Lucario's paws pull Azazel out of the way, before looking back up to the angered Zoroark, "We n-need to p-put him b-b-back in h-h-h-his pokeball!"

Azazel nodded, whipping out her pokeball, "Zachary, return!"

The red beam of light only had seconds to connect to the dark type, only to shatter when Zoroark roared, darting about to his next target.

Azazel paled, "He just…Did he just…?" Azazel murmured, lost in her own thoughts, only to yelp, when a familiar frog tackled her down, poison jab only inches from her face.

Lucario managed to kick the Toxicroak off, before a glowing blue bone appeared in his hand, the move bone rush, "Get away from her!" Lucario shouted firmly, before "golfing" the frog away.

Azazel jumped over a goon that had tried to tackle her down, giving in to the want to taunt him, "Missed me!"

The goon looked up, and with a messed up smile, he held up a pokeball, "I never miss."

Azazel gulped, looking around. All of her Pokémon were already busy with something else and she was sure that she couldn't take him down by herself to get Ivy's pokeball back.

Azazel groaned, hating that there was only one last option, as she pulled out one last pokeball. She knew it was risky, but at the moment, she had no other choice, "…Azure, please don't kill me…" She murmured, before throwing down the ball.

She began to count her non-lucky stars, when Azure slowly twisted around, his fangs bared, "Bad move, prey." He growled, slowly stalking over to Azazel.

The goon laughed, sending out his own hefty looking Graveler, "You really are a terrible with Pokémon, aren't you? Your Lucario's weak, your Zoroark doesn't listen…And this Luxio, ha, what a joke!"

Azazel whimpered, backing up slowly, trying to gather her courage, as she stuttered out, "Azure, c-come on! You…Y-you need to turn around and-."

"Stop talking, human." Azure pushed, his tone hard enough to make Azazel cringe, nearly loosing her footing, "Your time is up. You'll pay for your kind's sins."

The goon smirked, before waving them off, "I've seen enough of this; Graveler, rock slide."

Azazel gulped, even if she wasn't one for reading and writing, she did know anything and everything when it came to types. If he was bout to use a rock type move on Azure…This wasn't going to end well.

All of her fear melted away at the though of her Pokémon, even if it was Azure, getting hurt. She felt as if she were no longer in control, as she ran for Azure. He smirked, teeth glistening, "Good prey." He cooed, as she pushed the Luxio out of the way of the attack, guarding him with her own body. Not that he noticed, as he sunk his teeth deep into Azazel's neck, causing her to jump, crying out in pain. She waited for the onslaught of rocks to bury her, holding Azure closer.

What she didn't expect was a certain someone else to fall ion his knees behind her, wrapping his arms around her stomach, before holding her close to his chest.

She only had enough time scream hi name, before the rocks fell from the sky.

"DANTE!"

Azazel groaned, her eyes slowly opening, only to widen quickly, as she looked around. Everything was…black.

She looked about in the gravity-less zone, before calling out, "H-hello?"

Silence.

Azazel scowled, "Giratina, don't pull this crap on me."

The silence was cut by deep laugh, as two red eyes appeared from the darkness, "Clever, Azzy; very clever."

Azazel smiled lightly, before looking around, "If you're here, does that really mean I'm-."

"Dead?" Giratina finished, before a sigh filled the air, "Yes...And no."

Azazel shook her head, only to remember that she couldn't move anything, "You're about as helpful as ever."

A deep laughed filled the air once again, before the lord of death went on, "After an attack like that, you should have been dead…And, just to throw in, dying for something that wants to kill you may be heroic, but it's not the right way to blow out the candle."

"He can be a good Pokémon." Azazel insisted, "I know it."

Giratina paused, only to laugh again, "That's Azazel for you, huh, kid? Always see the light in the darkest of things."

Azazel groaned, before another thought shot into her head, making her nearly flip back, eyes wide, "Of my Arceus, Dante! Is he…Is he okay?"

The silence nearly drove her insane, before Giratina finally spoke up, "His condition is…stable, at the moment. He shielded you from a lot of it, but either way, you both took the weight…All of a Luxio that didn't hesitate to kill you."

Azazel sighed, rubbing that back of her head, "…This really is all my fault, isn't it?"

"Never." Giratina insisted, "It's not your fault. It's just the situations you're forced into."

Azazel couldn't help but smile lightly, "Thanks, Satan."

Giratina laughed, "Anything for you, Azazel Light." Just then, she swore that his eye had widened, "Also, some advice. Don't think that Arceus just forgot all about you."

Azazel's eyes widened, "…What?"

"You really think that she, or anyone else, would forget about the one and only human to live in the halls?" Giratina chided, before laughing, "I'm starting to question your intellect."

Azazel winced, "…So?"

"So?" Giratina boomed, almost in a scary manner, "Arceus…She's been looking for you, she has everyone looking for you. Darkrai was caught, and as we speak, he's serving punishment."

Azazel coughed, all the guilt weighting down on her shoulders, "…Shit, I'm so sorry-."

"You shouldn't be apologizing to me." Giratina cut in.

Azazel groaned, "Fine then, tell Darkrai that-."

"That's not what I mean." Giratina cut in once again, before sighing, "Look, Azazel; for as long as I've known you, you've never done something just for the fun of it. You always have a reason for doing something, a good reason. So, if you decide to do something this big, I'm sure that you've got a good reason."

Azazel blinked, "…Did you just use logic?"

Giratina laughed once again, "Maybe I did, so? But, back to the point, if you choose to do this, then I'll agree with you every step of the way."

"…You're not going to turn me in?"

Giratina laughed, "Name one time I've listened to something Arcey said."

"…Arcey?"

She couldn't see anything but Giratina's eyes, but she had a feeling that Giratina was either cringing or trying not to laugh, "…Yeah, so?"

Azazel sighed, shaking her head, before sighing, "You ready to send me back yet?"

"A warning first." Giratina's voice boomed, "We've been keeping tabs on team Galactic. We've yet to know why, but they want you."

"…I noticed." Azazel murmured, before sighing, "Wait, can't you guys help me?"

Giratina sighed, "…We can't. Arceus's orders."

"What happened to not listening to Arcey?" Azazel shouted, loud enough that she swore the eyes in the darkness winced.

"The problem is that we can't do anything because we've already got our hands full. " Giratina murmured, "At least…That's what Arceus said."

Azazel fumed, only to shake her head, only to the realize that she still couldn't move, "…Whatever." She murmured, before her eyes widened, "One last question. Have you seen the lake pixies lately?"

"…No." Giratina strained, his voice seeming a bit…strangled, "We just lost communication with Uxie."

Azazel cursed, only to look about once again, a small yet bright light piercing through the black. Giratina seemed frantic, "…What's that?"

"I'm out of time." Giratina groaned, holding his head, "If I keep you here any longer, you will die. I need to send you back."

Azazel didn't want to. She missed him, she missed sneak attacking Darkrai with hugs, she missed the halls, she missed Arceus shouting at everyone else. But, at the same time, she missed Hase. She missed how he'd laugh and ruffle her hair, how he'd lecture her and get mad, and yet, he'd never lay a hand on her. Azazel sighed, before smiling sadly, "Tell Darkrai I said hi?"

"…I have a feeling that you'll see him before I do." Giratina murmured, before the white light engulfed everything.

A nice Giratina and Azazel bonding moment, am I right?

Amy: And an Azazel X Dante moment.

Azazel: All we need is a Yami X Me moment.

Me: Yes, but he's already got a kiss on the forehead, cheek, he gotyou a gift, and took you out on a date.

Amy: And what did Dante do? You know, besides abusing you to a certain extent, ignores you, yells at you...The list really does goon and on.

Azazel: He's not mean guy!

Me:...You know what, Azazel...

Azazel:...Yes?

Me: Which ship do you go for?

Azazel: Me? Well, umm...

Azazel: I'm joking.

Amy: GOOD!

Azazel: But I also won't say yet.

Azazel: There will be more?

Me: Of?

Azazel: will there be more people to meet, or more stories?

Me: Both. But, the names of the OC's in my other Pokemon fanfictions are mostly Japanese for obvious reasons.

Nise: Like me!
