A/N: Here it is where the scream came from. Oh yeah like I promised I would dedicate this chapter to anyone who told me the Japanese translation for those words. Since some of my reviewers actually answered that question I dedicate this chapter to them through I don't think this is the best chapter to do so, but… oh well. A promise is a promise right? For that this chapter is dedicated to Labannya, Nightswift, Rainbow Wing, Comb-chan, and Avenger10.

Err… by the way… the words you all gave me. Some of them didn't match. Since I know no Japanese what so ever, I'm not exactly sure which one is the correct one. I'm sorry to bother you… again, but could someone help me… again?

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon.

Reviewer's Comments:

Labannya::: You think the screaming was from Misty? Well… I know you'll be surprised when you read this chapter. Here's a secret. I was going to have the scream come from Misty… but well it was too… predictable. Really you want to meet my dark side? I'm sure she'll love to meet your dark side. Hee… hee. I'm bored too… really, really bored. Thanks for the review.

Avenger10::: I can't kill, Rudy… sorry. But maybe… maybe you'll like him… err… okay I can't say anymore. Maybe I will torture Rudy. Who knows I might have an over dose, and I can't control my dark side. So who knows. Hey you tried for that I still dedicated this chapter to you. Thanks for the compliment. I'll keep writing. You just got to keep reviewing. I love reviews. Thanks for the review by the way.

Nightswift::: Yep! Just like I promised I dedicated this chapter to you. Those words really helped. Err… I don't really use OC that much, but thanks for the offer. Err… I would read you stories, but I don't like Digimon. It doesn't make sense to me, or just because well I don't have time to watch it. And I don't have a clue what Beyblade/ Bladebreakers is. I'm not sure which one is the real name. -. - But I'll read any Pokémon story, if you decide to write one though. Thanks for the review.

CrystalStorm21::: Yeah! A new reviewer, me like new reviewers. Err… sweat drop… I don't know about Misty killing another… yet… Oops I shouldn't have said that. Don't mind that. After you read this chapter, we'll I'll let you read it. Thanks for the review, and I hope you keep reading and reviewing.

Overlord::: I hope you're over that cold by now. :sighing and then grins: I'm off the hook. I'm off the hook. Yeah! Hmm any ways. Thanks for the review.

SamuraiChris::: Yep, another cliffhanger. I love cliffhangers… not I only love writing them. Yeah… well the reaction from the kiss you'll find that out soon. Really, really soon… like when you read this chapter. Yeah… well… I had to admit it. I don't know. My counterpart the goody, goody side never writes the chapters. They would be too mushy and stuff. I take over in the writing the chapters. Yep. Thanks for the review.

SulliMike23::: You'll be surprised. Yep. You sure will be. I hope any ways. Thanks for the review.

Chapter 13

The two broke off their kiss. Rudy was grinning bright eyed. There, he had finally done it. After twelve long years, he had finally kissed his love's lips. Now that HE was gone. Rudy could finally have Misty. He stared at her in that glorious gown. She was more beautiful today than she was twelve years ago. To Rudy she looked like a beautiful Porcelain doll that he had longed to mold. Finally after so long he could. He could finally have his Misty. They were meant for each other. Rudy knew that. Why else would the Gods have taken him away? It all seemed so simple now. It was the prefect reason. It was to have him be with her.

"Misty," muttered Rudy. He looked up and saw within her… death. The glow that was once in her eyes was gone. Her emerald eyes no longer glittered. She looked as if her very soul had been sucked out of her.

"Misty," whispered Rudy again. There was still no response. Misty looked dead. Rudy immediately paled. It couldn't be. She was alive one-minute. Now she looked like a zombie. "Misty," muttered Rudy. He gently touched the side of her shoulder. Rudy could feel a faint shudder hitting his hand.

"Misty," said Rudy again. Once again there was no answer. He inched closer as he did the unthinkable happened. Misty's body limped as she clasped. Rudy immediately grabbed her. He watched as her eyes flipped back showing the whites of her eyes. All Rudy could do was let out a mighty scream…

*******

Misty's POV

I remember him kissing me. The kiss pained me. It was filled with warmth, yet I couldn't take it. I had let another man down. The first was my dear Ash. The one boy had long claimed my soul. I had given my heart to him. We were bounded my love, as the legendaries said. But the moment Rudy kissed me, I felt my very soul slip away.

I open my eyes now. I see only white. Am I in heaven? Am I finally with my love again? I hear voices calling me. I hear crying, sobbing. I see movement… faint movement before me. Where am I? I hear beeping. I try to reach out, but I can't. Something is holding me down.

I hear their voices. It's louder now. It's so close. I can finally make out the words. "Misty, come back," said a kind voice. I want to say I am back, but my mouth doesn't seem to want to move. In the distance, I see something. A white, holy like glow. I remember people telling me about it especially one. He told me it's a sign. The sign gives you a chance to leave or a chance to stay. I want to reach out to it but couldn't. I felt an unfamiliar yet smoothing tingle flow through me. The beeping stops.

I hear a loud sob. I feel my body being lifted up. I hear a voice telling me to come back. I understand now. So this is how it feels to die. So this is what he felt every time he would die but come back alive. It feels so comforting. So relaxing, it seems almost prefect. I see the glow clearer now, beckoning me to go straight. I understand. I look out, and I immediately panic. There's my body. Am lying in a bed. I see it was Haruka that was crying for me to come back. Brock is there, holding her.

I can't help but smile. They're together again. I beam. I can't help but to want to tell them, I'll be fine. I'm going to a better place now. The glow is getting stronger as I float to it. As I get close enough, the feeling stops. I feel a presence before me. I sense it. The presence is very familiar. I look up. I see a boy. He opens his hand. There within it, is a gold piece. I recognize it. It's a locket much like mine. I look up. He smiles and grins before shaking his head.

I understand. I can't die. The boy grins before disappearing as mysteriously as he came. I once again face to face with the glow. I shake my head. "No. I can't die," I stated. The glow disappears as if understanding my feeling. I feel my body sinking, sinking back to my body. The beeping continues.

"Misty!" shouted Haruka.

I open my eyes.

Normal POV

"Misty!" shouted Haruka.

"Hmm?" asked Misty. She rubbed her eyes and saw Haruka with a tear stain face smiling at her. The young woman threw herself on her friend. Misty sighed as she took the hug. She looked around the room.

"Misty," muttered Haruka.

"Hmm?" asked Misty looked back.

"What are you looking at?" asked Haruka.

"Didn't you see it?" asked Misty curiously.

"See what?" asked Haruka strangely.

"The boy and that beam of light." Haruka looked up at Misty strangely before looking at Brock. The young man turned around and looked at the three young men behind him. Misty looks towards Brock's direction almost cursing that she didn't notice the group behind him. Delia, Prof. Oak, Masato, Tracey, Todd, Gary and May were all there. They all looked as if they had been crying. Misty looked passed them before looking up.

"Where am I?" asked Misty.

An unfamiliar voice answers her question. "You're at the hospital in Masera." Misty turned her towards the voice.

"Doctor?" asked Misty.

"Well Gen. Kasumi, it believes that you ate something that your stomach wasn't accommodated with," said the doctor flipping through his charts. Misty knew what what's it. It was the kiss. She knew it. The legendaries had warned her. Now, she almost lost it all. Instead Misty asked.

"What happened?" She eyed her friends curiously. None said anything.

"Your friends bought you here from the party. You had a minor heart attack and fainted. You're one lucky woman, Kasumi. We almost lost you," said the doctor. Misty stayed quiet. Her friends could see that she was uneasy around the doctor. Haruka deciding to end her friend's misery spoke up.

"Could we have some time alone with Kasumi?" asked Haruka.

The doctor turned towards the young general. He nodded. "Just for a bit, Gen. Haruka." He did a light bow, which Haruka returned. Delia, May, Masato and Prof. Oak left with the doctor leaving the others with Misty. The moment they left. The guys and Haruka immediately advanced on her with questions.

"What happened?" asked Haruka.

"I… I went outside with Rudy. I… was going to tell him the truth. He grabbed me, and we kissed," muttered Misty. She immediately lowered her head and weep. A light gasp was heard around the room as Haruka leant down before Misty. She enwrapped her arms around her.

"I… can't believe I kissed another man," mumbled Misty.

"Shh," said Haruka. The young woman didn't stop crying as her tears soaked through Haruka's dress. "It wasn't your fault."

"Y… yes it was. I… I broke my promise."

"Huh?" asked Haruka. Before Misty could answer, Haruka silenced her. "Never mind. It wasn't your fault. None of this was."

"Y… yes it was. I… was the one that agreed in the first place. If I hadn't gone with Rudy in the first place, I… wouldn't have kissed him."

"Shh… It wasn't your fault. If it was anyone's fault, it would have to be me mine." Misty stopped crying and looked up at her friend. Sometimes Haruka seemed so much older than she really was. Haruka could make anyone feel better. She was a lot like Misty's mom, but it wasn't enough. Not this time.

"Yes… it was."

"Misty, listen to me," said Haruka in a commanding voice. Misty looked up. "It was an accident. Did you want to kiss him?"

She simply shook her head. Suddenly a thought hit her. "Where is Rudy?" asked Misty. Haruka immediately looked down. "What?" asked Misty.

"He's in intensive care," mumbled Gary.

"What?" asked Misty. She looked up. Gary nodded painfully. "Why?"

Gary gulped before explaining. "After we got you loaded into the ambulance, Ziggy ran off. Jessie and James found him floating in the nearby river, unconscious. He was bleeding really bad. Misty… we believe he tried to commit… suicide."

"No!" gasped Misty. She was horrified. Rudy had tried to commit suicide. He was the third man that had almost died because of her. There was Ash, Rudy, and her father… She remembered her father's death. She might have only been five then, but she remembered that day...

A young five-year-old girl grinned as she jumped happily upon her bed. "Sumi," called a man's voice. The girl stopped jumping and landed flat on her stomach. A thirty some year-old man walked in. "Misty," said the man.

"Daddy," called the young girl. She leaped from her bed and into her father's awaiting arms. The man smiled as Misty cuddled in the man's arms. "We go battle?" asked Misty.

"No, my water princess. You have to stay home. Remember?" asked the man. He gently poked the tip of Misty's nose. Misty tried to remember, but she couldn't. The girl simply shook her head. "Misty. You remember? I have to take Seel to the Pokémon Center. He's been really tired since the last battle."

"Oh," said Misty. She stopped squirming and sighed. "I remember."

"Why you so down, my water princess?"

"'Cause I got to stay home with Daisy, Lily, and Violet," muttered Misty.

"Misty," said the man. Misty shrugged her shoulders before looking up. Her eyes twinkled.

"Can I go with you?" begged Misty.

"Well."

"Please Daddy. Oh please. I promise to be good," begged Misty.

"Well, okay," said Mr. Waterflower.

An hour later Misty was dressed and ready to go. She held in her hands Seel's pokéball. She was a big girl now. The two walked down Cerulean's streets. Everyone greeted them. Misty grinned as she looked around the city. Everyone knew her parents. They were the best water Pokémon trainers in the world, and Misty wanted to be just like them. Her mom was in the Indigo Plateau on board meeting. "Daddy look, Pokémon Center," called Misty.

"Yep," said Mr. Waterflower. He was grinning at his daughter's energy. The two walked in. Misty loved to admire the paintings of lovely water Pokémon around the center, but today she wasn't here to enjoy the drawings. Today she had to be a big girl and accomplish her mission. Her dad sat her down on the floor, and Misty ran to container. There, Nurse Joy was busy healing another trainer's Pokémon. Misty knew to be patient and stood behind the trainer. Misty's dad had found a seat at a near by bench, waiting for Misty to finish. The line was moving slow today, but Misty was amused at the young trainer before her, Pokémon. The trainer had a cute Vaporeon by his side.

"Cutie," cried Misty as she touched the trainer's Pokémon. The trainer heard the girl's voice and turned around grinning.

"You really like it?" asked the trainer.

"Uh huh. I love all water Pokémon. Some day I'm going to be a great water Pokémon Master just like my parents," said Misty bragging.

"Really," said the trainer interested. "Who are your parents?"

"The gym leaders of Cerulean's gym. I'm Misty Waterflower," said Misty excitedly.

"Really," said the trainer grinning. "Then I'll help you. Here take this Pokémon." The trainer pulled out a pokéball from his belt and held it out for Misty.

"I can't," muttered Misty.

A/N: You didn't expect something like that to happen did you? I was going to let Misty slap Rudy at first then I got this strange idea. Unfortunately for you all this new idea takes more than one chapter. What will happen next? What will happen, when Misty faces Rudy? I've decided to stop doing cliffhangers for a while. Unless you call this a cliffhanger, of course, cause for the next few chapters will probably end with this type of an ending. That was strange the beginning right? Yeah, well it I'll explain it later, much later. How many of you guys were surprised by that? Come on. Don't be shy. Don't lie. I'm just curious, really curious. Four reviews and you'll find out what happens next.
