This one came to me like a Thunderbolt, so don't be surprised by the sudden act of it. This actually caught my attention actually, if any of you read AC: The Raven, Ash writes in his journal, however he keeps it hidden from the others, but what if a familiar blonde brawler comes across it, and takes a peek to around the time Ash came to Remnant, oh the chaos. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

Yang stared at the item in front of her, a journal, more specifically Ash's journal. The blonde brawler had rarely seen the boy with it out, either writing in it, or reading past entries. She was curious, but Ash always kept it with him, yet here it was, forgotten in his room. Yang came to ask Ash about something when she saw it, she knew the importance of it, it was like her hair, Ruby's cookies, and Blake's book, DON'T TOUCH IT! Unfortunately, her curiosity got the best of her, she wasn't going too deep into it, just to the time when Ash met them, she wanted to know his personal thoughts about them before he really got to know them. She found the date that he uses, and found the first day of Beacon, luckily he titles certain entries. She sat down on Ash's bed and began to read.

Day 1 in Remnant.

I arrived at a world called Remnant, a man called Professor Ozpin has requested my help to stop the Grimm, and the White Fang, and offered a position in his school, I accepted. I later met a young man by the name of Jaune Arc, nice guy, a bit...dorky but has a good heart. I also met four girls, Ruby, Yang, Weiss, and Blake. Ruby reminds me of myself before I left, innocent, willing to see the good side of things, and brave. I hope her light of innocence burns bright and long. Then there was Yang she is a...unique kind of girl, fiery, spunky, and has a tendency for flirting...which was a bit uncomfortable. Weiss however, I worry for her, her pride burns too bright, it blinds her, I hope she can see past that pride, and become something beyond who she thinks she is. Blake, I have yet to know her beside a few words, but she seems nice, the book she read reminded me of...him...I hope he is in a better place. I am going to sleep for an initiation, I hope it goes well.

Ash Ketchum

Yang blinked, who was Ash talking about? She was happy to know Ash's thought about them, even if it stung that Ash found her flirting unwanted, though from what she's seen its understandable. Yang blinked as a thought occurred to her, what about their Separation? The subject was still a bit touchy, yet she was curious. She went to the front and traced back a bit, seeing a couple of words like: Redemption, Unforgiven, and Mercy. She finally found the date and blinked, seeing the bottom part was slightly smudged, like something wet touched it. She shrugged and decided to read.

Day 57 in Remnant.

It was a busy day, Me and Ozpin decided to begin a search for Summer, Me and Ruby...confessed, Yang almost killed me, and the team has been separated, various emotions run through me at the moment. Happiness, Pride, Regret, to name a few.

I supposed Happiness comes from me being able to help Ruby and Yang to find their Mom, I know their pain. And I'm sure it is from my confession. Ruby...she is special, I never thought of pursuing a relationship before, was it because of fear? Responsibility? Or something else? Nonetheless, I will do my best, for Ruby's sake.

The Pride could come from defeating Yiela, even if it was by a hair. Who knows.

The Regret...is definitely from Him and what he's done.

Yang blinked, noticing that the Him was scrawled angrily, what did he do that mad Ash hate him so?

I failed my team, I know I lived, but that could be just because I'm a Saiyan, what of the others? I pray to Arceus that they're safe.

Yang managed to make out the smudged writing and gasped.

I wonder what would have happened if I didn't confess, would I be the same? A soldier of war who couldn't let go of the pain, a Puppet who couldn't stand to lose his strings, or simply a man who needed a source of comfort? I don't know, but I love Ruby, and I will make sure nothing will befall her, because if something did, I would surely fall to my rage and regret. She is my light, and I would be nothing more than a cold shell of my former self without her. I must go.

Ash Ketchum.

Yang rubbed her eyes and realized she was crying slightly. Had Ash really treasured His and Ruby's relationship so closely? She sniffed and didn't notice the door open, nor did she hear a gasp. She finally was alert when a hand swiped the journal. She turned and saw Ash glaring at her, having gotten back from his classes. "Why were you reading my journal"? Ash asks, his voice cold as ice. Yang blinked and rubbed her eyes. "I was curious to what you thought of us, and when I read of what you thought of Ruby...tell me, do you treasure her that much"? Yang asks. Ash gasped as she realized what entries she read. Ash looked at his journal and sighed. "Yes, I do, I treasure her greatly, she is...the only person that made me feel that way, and I feel perfectly at ease around her, something I haven't felt in a long time". Ash says before sitting his journal down. "I would appreciate it if you wouldn't read my journal again, your lucky you didn't read any further, that would have gotten you in real trouble". Ash says while turning to her. "Just one question". Yang says while Ash hummed. "Who is the person you talked about at the first day"? Yang asks. Ash froze and sighed in regret. "It was me". Ash says while Yang blinks. "Not the way you think, it was a different dimension, one where I became a monster, someone beyond recognition, only when I put him down did I realize he was used, by the very same man that I despise". Ash explains while Yang's eyes widened. "So that's why you hate him". Yang says while Ash laughs. "No, that is just one of the reasons I hate him, but I do not wish to go into that". Ash mutters sadly. Yang took that as her chance to leave. She left the room and walked to her Team's dorm, she had a lot to tell Ruby.

The End.

There, you get to see Ash's personal thoughts in his journal. Ash indeed became a cold man after the mind journey in The Rush of Ash. But it dissolved when he confessed to Ruby, finally being able to let the past go. He still despise 'Him' with every fiber of his being. Anyway R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
