Secrets in the Dark.

Chapter 2: Ash?

I don't own Black Butler or Pokemon.

I groaned and raised my head. There was a buzzing on my nightstand that, for a moment, I mistook for my alarm clock. Then, Flareon came over with my poke-gear. I opened to screen "Hello?" I croaked. "Ell, where are you?! The portal is going to open any moment now!" I was suddenly wide awake. "What?" I looked at the clock. "SHOOT!" I jumped out of bed and turned to Flareon "Wake up the others. Tell Charizard to meet me in the woods. I'll need him to keep an eye out for Ciel and Sebastian. If they find us we'll never find Mewtwo and end this disaster." I said hopping on one foot struggling to get my socks on.

Once dressed, I opened my window and climbed down the vines climbing the wall next to my window. I jumped down the last few inches and ran to the woods. Charizard flew over my head and landed "Alright," I said looking around "if you see Ciel or his freaky Butler draw their attention. Do anything to keep them away from the portal until I can get home." I said strapping on my wrist-watch communication device. "If something goes bad, call and I'll rush back." he nodded. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. "I'll be back soon, 'kay?" he nodded again. I ran as fast as I could into the trees.

Ciel pov

I had been awakened by some bangs on my window. I ran over and looked out. Mirelle was climbing done some vines in front of the window. She vanished at the bottom of the frame. I ran looked down and watched her jump the last few inches and run toward the woods. I pulled on a robe "Sebastian!" I called. The demon came in "Yes, master?" he asked "Mirelle just went into the woods. Cut her off and find out where she's going." I ordered. He bowed and vanished.

I paced back and forth. The portal was going to open soon. Just a the light appeared, I heard Charizard's roar of pain. I whirled around and gasped in horror. He flew over toward me and crashed feet from me. "What happened?!" I almost screamed. He was badly hurt. "Oh my god!" I whimpered. I opened my communicator "ASH! I NEED THAT PORTAL NOW!" I yelled looking at the slowly opening portal. "We're trying! Somethings blocking us on your end!" I looked around "Just hurry. Charizard's hurt, and that's never good." I ended the call and pulled out a pokeball. "Umberon, I need help." I threw the ball and Umberon came out. He stood there and nodded "Use Flash. I can't see a thing." Umberon's rings started glowing and the area was flooded with a bright light. I scanned the area. No one was out there. I pulled out another pokeball. Lucario appeared at my side. "Can you sense anyone?" I whispered. He focused and both his and Charizard's heads snapped toward the trees and they growled. I took a battle stance. Out of the darkness came.., Sebastian?! "Geez, butler, you scared the daylights out of me." I said angrily clutching my heart to slow it's beat. He walked toward me and I back toward the portal. "Forgive me, my lady. But, it is not safe for you out here." his eyes went to my growling Pokemon "There are beasts on the prowl." I looked at Lucario and he nodded slowly. There was the advantage to having a Pokemon who's aura matched your own.

Lucario delivered the message to Charizard who nodded weakly and stood slow so as not to draw attention to himself. "They're not beasts. They are my friends and it appears one of them is badly hurt." I growled. The butler was about to reply but froze and turned. Ciel was standing there watching. "So you are the mysterious person your mother thought was breaking in every night. Imagine her surprise when she learns that you were breaking out, not in." I took a step back away from the two and continued to keep their eyes and ears on me and not the Pokemon getting ready to move. "Yes, I suppose she'll be furious, then again, that's the lease of my problems. I have a bigger disaster to handle at the moment." at these words, I heard and felt the portal open behind me and right then Charizard and Lucario both tackled me into it. We landed on the other side and I found myself yelling "Close it! CLOSE IT! We were followed!" I heard Ash gasp and got to my feet. Lucario and I went to the other boy's side and added our aura energy to his and fought to close the portal.

It closed and the three of us panted with exhaustion. I turned to the ebony haired boy and sighed "I really hope we didn't just go through all that for nothing, Ash Ketchem." he smiled tiredly at me and held up a flash-drive. "It's all here. Everything about Mewtwo and how to reverse the virus. Strait from Giovanni himself." I smiled and hugged him. "Well, that's touching." said a painfully familiar voice. I gulped and turned. Ciel and Sebastian were both standing there. "How!?" I cried backing away.

Reacting to my fear and surprise, Ash went into battle mode. "Pikachu, Thunder Shock!" he ordered. The tiny electric mouse jumped off his shoulder, it's cheeks sparking. "Pikachuuuu!" it cried as the bolts of electricity shot from it cheeks. It hit the ground right in front of the two. But, before we could react, Pikachu let out a cry of fear and pain. "PIKACHU!" Ash cried running to his best friend's side only to get knocked away by some unknown force. "ASH!" I ran to him and check his pulse. He was alive, but out cold. I shook with fear. Lucario ran toward me only to get knocked away and out. I felt tears sting my eyes. I closed those eyes and focused. I could use aura sense. I thought hard then found the source of the attacks. It was head right for me. I reacted fast and jabbed the attacker randomly as hard as I could. I opened my eyes to find the surprised face of Ciel. He fell wide eyed to the ground in pain. I panted and ran past him to my injured Pokemon. I returned them all to their balls and ran to Ash. I threw his arm over my shoulder and half carried, half dragged him away, while Sebastian was distracted with his master.
