chap 4

Gary carefully raised his hand, hoping Ash wouldn't take it as
a threat and attack. The world had definitely gone crazy if Ash had a
knife and was willing to use it. "Uh, who're we waiting for, what's
the psycho master of Saffron doing here, and since when in hell was she
your sister?" His voice quavered at the end, as Sabrina was death
glaring him.
"We're waiting for some people we need to talk to, Sabrina has some say
in this, and she was merely being polite. As was I." Ash answered
quietly, casually laying the dagger on the table. He glanced down as
both Pikachu and Ket joined them, then started tapping his foot. Misty
and Brock had better hurry up.
***
Mist hovered nervously outside the teahouse door, Brock waiting to see
what she would do. Both Pikachu and Ket had run in, Pika and Eeveeing
anyone who got in their way. Misty shuddered, then opened the door and
walked in, feeling Brock fall into step behind her. She shyly
approached an auburn haired waitress, who turned around and gave her a
huge smile. "Hi! If you're with Solaris' party, they're in that
alcove." She pointed toward a truly secluded dining place.
Misty started, surprised. "How'd you know I was looking for them?"
She then grabbed Brock by an ear and pulled him away from the waitress,
as he'd gone into his Pretty Girl mode.
"The confused look on your faces. Solaris always unnerves people who
have just met him, he's even worse than 'Renity-Sama about that. He
also told me to keep an eye out for another red head. I'm Xyle, by the
way." The red waitress smiled again, then started gently shooing them
toward the dining area. "Just go on in, I have to wait for the last
members of the group, and then my bro and I are off shift and can join
you." Xyle laughed at Misty and Brock's obvious confusion, then stuck
her head in the door. "One confused red head and one etchi spike top,
delivered free of charge." She then shoved them deftly into the room
and closed the door.
The first thing Misty noticed once her sight had adjusted to the dim
light was the smug smirk on Sabrina's face. The second, that Sabrina
had a hand on one of Ash's shoulders.
Misty went berserk.
She lunged at Sabrina, seeing red, to mad to even remember the older
girl's psychic powers. All that mattered was that Ash was HERS, damn
it, not Sabrina's.
Sabrina, for the most part, was to surprised to do much more than
squeak and topple backwards under the onslaught of Misty's fury. She
squeaked again, then breathed a sigh of relief as both Ash and Kyle
appeared, grabbing Misty and heaving her off Sabrina.
Ash nodded to Kyle, who grunted as he departed the room, then grabbed
Misty's shoulders and shook her until her teeth rattled, "What's gotten
into you? You've never acted this way before!" Worry for Misty
suffused him. She'd been angry before, but she'd always taken that
anger out on him, not on someone else. The change in pattern disturbed
him, so much so that he didn't notice Misty's rapidly purpling face, or
recognize the tensing in her muscles.
BAM! The slap caught him right in the mouth, and was followed up by a
punch in the stomach. Ash staggered backwards, trying to see through
the pain blurring his vision. Another blow punctuated Misty's enraged
screams. "How could you? She's twice your fucking age! I'm your
girlfriend, not her, you two timing..."
"ENOUGH!" Solaris' bellow echoed in the suddenly silent room. The
blind Shokou of the sun stood up straight, his eyes raking the room
scathingly. "Enough." He repeated, his voice calm. "This is a
meeting to explain things to those who don't know what they are, update
those that do, and decide upon a plan of action about a current
problem." He gestured regally to the over turned chairs. "Right your
chairs and sit. I am only going to explain this once."
***
"Why did we have to come here again?"
"Ugh, my legs hurt from riding that bird!"
"OOOHHH! ICE CREAM!"
"...Serena no baka..."
"I could be studying for my PHD..." Falkner rolled his eyes and looked
to Setsuna for support. Ash and company were nothing compared to the
herd of senshi straggling down Goldenrod's main street. They stopped
to look, touch, and buy just about everything. Plus, Lita had finagled
a Pokeball from Falkner and caught a Chicorita with it. Falkner made a
mental note to keep Serena away from all Jigglypuffs and Clefairys...
"OOHH! ISN'T IT CUTE!"
"Clefairy!"
To late. Falkner saw Setsuna wince and prayed somebody had trained the
Clefairy not to steal...
"Excuse me." Falkner turned towards the young man and his German
Shepard, hoping he hadn't lost his mind and seen a talking dog. Then
again, with senshi you never knew what was going to take it into it's
mind to talk next. The dog grinned, then spoke again. "My name is Salsa, and my friend here is Taketo. We can take you to your friends, if you like." The dog's grin widened. "There is a price, however. Taketo and I have some experience with supernatural enemies, and we'd like to sit in on this meeting, see if we can help."
Falkner looked to Serena, who glanced up from the Clefairy and nodded,
then he turned back to Salsa and Taketo. "Okay. Show us where they
are."
