Twisted Realities

by Kyoto-chan

A/N: Fwee. This is the last chapter of TR, and it's highly emotional. I think it might be depressing, sooo...if you're already depressed, I think that you shouldn't read this. Of course, there's no suicidal attempts or anything. -grin- I should warn you, some of this was under the influence of one too many BLEACH fics, IchiRuki to be exact. -bangs head on table- Anyway! Commence with everything else!

Disclaimer: This is Fiery speaking. I OWN POKEMON! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Actually, I don't, 'cause why would I own my own species?

Kyoto's Review Replies!

CG and Rabbit-chan(Marichi) -- GAH. How could anyone not notice those words that I said. "MADE BY THE BEST FORGERS OF AQUA". So no, May didn't write that note. Besides, she just came in, remember? So she was too busy fighting Aqua to write that note.

neogirl7900-- Fwaa, I feel so guilty for not giving them a happy ending. But something might happen that'll probably make a few people happy.

Five months had passed since May heard those words. They still haunted her at night. She sobbed quietly at night, tossing and turning. It was then she decided that she would finally explain herself.

The cherry blossom trees were in season once again, as the now-Aqua-member May had approached Brendan, who was standing near a bench.

"May? Cheh, I should've known it would've been you." Brendan said bitterly, turning around to face her, with his hands in his pockets.

The wind blew towards Brendan, making the cherry blossom petals fly towards in his direction as well.

"Brendan, I'm so sorry. But I have to tell you one thing, I didn't write that note." May confessed.

Brendan replied, "Then how can you explain the fact that it was your exact handwriting!"

May slapped him, saying through her tears, "I was too busy worried as hell that the antidote wouldn't get to you in time. Why would I go to all the trouble of fighting Archie to get you that damned antidote! Truth is, Mr. Birch, I still loved you. You broke my heart twice, and what did I do the first time? I forgave you. The second time, you said you hated me. You think I could forgive that!"

Brendan touched the now-red handmark on his cheek, and then grabbed the top of her forearms forcefully.

"Then if you're telling me all these truths, I'll have to tell you honestly too. You broke my heart when I read that note. I broke my own, when I lied to you, telling you I didn't love you back."

May looked up from the ground, her cheeks streaked with the trails her tears left.

"You--mmph..." she muttered, her dialogue being interrupted by the feeling of Brendan's mouth on top of hers.

The kiss was brief, but enough to leave May shocked.

"Br-Brendan..." she muttered, and hugged him, crying into his chest. "I'm so sorry! I went through all those things for you. I re-joined Aqua, for you!"

Brendan let go of May, leaving her crying by herself, without any support.

"May, I'm sorry. I...I have to go now. But...promise me...promise me you'll never leave me again. Because when I know that, you'll always be...right here." Brendan said, placing his hand over his heart.

"I promise." May said, wiping her tears away with her gloves.

-Owari-

A/N: x.x; I feel so un...unaccomplished! I wanted a sadder ending, but I guess this way is okay, too. LOL. Well, after this, look forward for my next Hoennshippy, Obsession! -smiles- But this leaves an empty feeling in me. -sweatdrops- Must be the shortness, though...
