Chapter 5: More than a friend?
"Likes ya." Kasumi giggled before she kissed the ground. Ash bent over and poked her. When she didn't respond to the poking treatment he started to shake her violently in panic mode.
"Kasumi! Kasumi!" Ash said urgently, completely forgetting what had just taken place.
'Something is definitely wrong with her' Ash thought while dropping the flowers and
scooping up the girl.
Misty didn't know what to do so she stayed in her place. Ash then walked off rather quickly with a limp Kasumi in his arms. Misty watched this too as if it was in slow motion and before she knew what she was doing she was on her knee's gathering the flowers on the ground and clutching them to her chest.
"Thank you Ash…" She whispered to herself and then put them in her backpack.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Ash*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He looked down at his friend who was still limp in his arms.
"What's gotten into you lately huh?" He asked the girl.
Ash looked around hopping to find Florinda…He continued to walk.
'Maybe she was just tired and…fainted? No…that doesn't explain why she would be acting that way.'Ash thought to himself.
Ash then remembered the things that Kasumi had said…right in front of Misty. So it was as simple as that. He liked Misty. No…not liked…loved. The poor fool was head over heels for the girl. He would swim through a lake full of Gyarados for her…simple. But now wasn't the time to think of that. He needed to find Florinda or Brock. Ash continued to walk around the maze like garden until he heard a high pitched laughter belonging to Florinda. He changed his direction and came to smaller green house that had rows of strange plants and inside he could see Brock and Florinda laughing at something. Ash rushed to them urgently.
"Hey something's wrong with Kasumi!" Ash said drawing attention.
His arms were already starting to hurt. The laughter died and immediately Florinda went to inspect the girl. Ash carefully laid her down on the ground.
"What's wrong with her? What happened?" Florinda asked.
"I dunno one minuet she was ok and then the next she was acting really funny and then she passed out." Ash said worriedly.
Florinda kneeled down and took a couple of looks at Kasumi. Florinda then plucked a flower that was stuck in Kasumi's hair. Ash looked down at his friend an just noticed how dirty she looked. Almost as if she was rolling around on the ground. Florinda then burst out laughing pointing at the flower she held in her other hand. Ash took a look at it. It was a purple flower that had a white center. Brock and Ash looked at Florinda with a confused expression.
"I'm sorry…but…this is…this is…Pokenip!" Florinda said in between laughs.
"What on earth was she doing rolling around in…Pokenip!" Florinda laughed again.
'Pokenip?…That must mean Kasumi must have some of her pokemon senses…'Ash thought.
Brock and Ash exchanged glances and then started to join Florinda in her laughter. The laughing eventually died down and Ash turned to Brock.
"Uh…should we tell her?" He questioned looking down at her friend.
"Yeah I guess." Brock shrugged.
So ash summed up the whole story of Pikachu and how she turned human. Which made the three of them laugh even harder.
"Well all she needs is a little rest and she should be fine." Florinda said wiping away tears.
Misty came into the little area and thought it was weird to hear laughter and gave puzzled looks to her friends.
"Hey Misty, Florinda knows about Kasumi…and we know why she was acting weird…"Brock informed.
"Oh really? How?" Misty asked cocking her head.
"Some how, our little friend here…decided to have some fun and found some Pokenip!" Florinda said laughing again. Misty sweat dropped.
"So is she going to be ok?" Misty asked glancing over at Kasumi and Ash who was right next to her.
"Yeah…all she needs is some sleep." Florinda smiled.
'Too bad…I wanted to talk with her.'Misty thought.
___________Announcer Guy______
So the group said their good-byes and left the Xanadu Garden.
___________________________________________AN: simple, short, an sweet_____
Ash's arms didn't feel like they were apart of him anymore. Kasumi wasn't too heavy, but it was getting hard to hold her when she was constantly moving while she was asleep.
Kasumi squirmed.
"Pi..Pika..Pichu…"Kasumi mumbled in her sleep.
(guys…I think it worked…)
Ash looked down at her confused. 'it worked?'Ash questioned.
When they got home Brock put the soil in the garden for Mrs.K. As Florinda instructed Ash
carried Kasumi into her room and placed her in bed pulling the covers over her. He was still concerned for his friend and hesitated when closing the door. Ash then felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and was greeted with blue green eyes belonging to Misty.
"She should be fine Ash. Don't worry about it." Misty said smiling. Ash then startled her by placing his own hand on hers.
"Thanks." Ash said returning the smile.
"Well…goodnight Ash." Misty said turning to her room.
"Goodnight."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Misty*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Misty couldn't sleep. She could still hear Kasumi's voice.
He likes ya
Misty stared at the ceiling…did she like Ash? She knew that she cared for him, but was it really more than that? They had been traveling for such a long time together. At least every memory had him in it. She had grown accustom to that smile, his overconfidence…his laugh. Everything…she loved it all.
'Love…I love him.' Misty sat awed.
It all clicked. The reason for her getting upset over Kasumi whenever she was near him, that over protectiveness. That jealousy that would wash over her again and again. It was because she was in love with the guy. The only real question now was…
'Does he love me…' Misty thought.
Could he see her for more than a friend?
AN: WHOOOO HOOO yeah! Ok that's outta my system…sooo how do you like that AAMR lovers? Well it wasn't that great…but It will get better…I hope…so please review if ya have any questions…or maybe…comments? ^_^
