Kasumi shifted on the back of Lapras. This was getting irritating. Not to mention uncomfortable.

"Hey, look Kasumi! An island!" yelled Satoshi excitedly.

"Yay," was Kasumi's sarcastic reply, but that didn't stop her from scrambling to see the island.

The island was bare and looked like it was covered with black sand. Its surface was dotted with scraggly, dwarf trees. There were no signs of LIFE, let alone civilization. As they landed, Kasumi took her anger out of poor Satoshi.

"Where the HELL did we land?! You've gotten us lost again, Satoshi!" exclaimed Kasumi angrily, ready to pull out her mallet.


"We are NOT lost…we're just…" Satoshi started off, then flushed as he looked at the map. "...lost..."

Kasumi glared at him and whacked him with her mallet. Satoshi growled and countered with an insult, and so on.

Pikachu sighed and covered Togepi's eyes as he filmed the lover's spat from a SAFE distance. Togepi was munching on popcorn.

This oughtta make me rich... chuckled Pikachu. Perfect blackmail. Pikachu rubbed its furry lil paws together.


Togepi looked at Pikachu curiously.

Satoshi, sporting many bruises, and a still pissed Kasumi (finally) decided fighting wasn't going to get them anywhere, so they went in search of human kind (and food) . Both thought the search was useless, but hey, it's a way to waste, I mean spend, time right?

Soon, the afternoon turned evening, and the evening turned to night. Kasumi, the energetic, fell down on her knees.

"I'm tired, Satoshi, let's set camp here, kay?" Kasumi yawned.

"Aw, come Kasumi-" started Satoshi.

Kasumi opened her eyes as wide as they could go, and added a little pathetic sniffle for good measure.

"Please, Sato-chan? I'm so tired..." whimpered Kasumi.

Satoshi glared at her, but he felt like he was kicking a puppy.

"Fine. Whatever," he grumbled, relenting.

Satoshi and Kasumi layed out their sleeping bags. Satoshi was seemingly asleep, but Kasumi was far from sleep as she brought out her aquamarine diary.

June 26 2000

Diary,
Satoshi was being an ass, as usual. He landed us on some godforsaken island, not a Pokémon or person to be seen. We're lucky there were a few berry-bushes. Also, a bunch of apricot trees but apricots aren't very appetizing. You know what I noticed Diary? Satoshi looks cute when he's pissed off. Heh. Odd thing to notice, ne? Whatever. I'm not feeling all that journal-y at the moment, so see ya l8er.

Jaa,
Kasumi

Kasumi stuffed the diary into her aqua backpack (which she had replaced her red one with, she couldn't resist the kawaii water Pokémon border!) and laid on her back to stare at the stars. She often glanced at Satoshi, who looked so cute even though his back was too her.

'And that isn't such a bad view at all,' Kasumi said, giggling softly.

Kasumi stopped giggling, and sighed. She got up and pressed her lips softly on Satoshi's mussed black hair.

"G'night, Sato-chan. Sweet dreams," she whispered. She then crept back to her sleeping bag and laid down on her stomach, and went to sleep in a few minutes.

--

Satoshi felt something on his head, and a warm tingly sensation filled him. He then heard a very familiar voice whispering something.

..G'night Sato-chan. Sweet dreams..

Satoshi snorted softly.

'Like hell she would.'


Satoshi sighed, and turned around to look at Kasumi

"G'night Sumi. See ya in my dreams."

Satoshi kissed Kasumi on the cheek, and she smiled in her sleep. Satoshi smiled back, even if Kasumi wouldn't see his bishonén smile. (A/N: I bet that didn't make sense. =P Oh well.)

--

A devilish vapor hovered over Satoshi, who was now deep in sleep.

'Soon, Satoshi, the chosen one, will make ME the strongest being on Earth! These puny humans will cower before me! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!' crowded the vapor, namely Mewthree.



Satoshi shivered once as the vapor slowly disappeared into his head, and then went limp. His well-tanned face now looked sickly and pale...but it resumed its normal appearance after a few moments.

Kasumi shivered.

Sayanora Satoshi.
