Author's Note: Hey! I'm finally back from New York! Ha, no I'm not famous. I just happened to go there since one of my cousins had graduated from a quite famous college near the area. Anyways, sorry I just left you all! I've been trying to keep this story running as long as I can. If anyone could reassure me through comments, that would be quite so helpful. For more from me, look toward the bottom! I'll be posting two chapters today!
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, the characters, or a dating show.
Haruka was just too pretty. Shuu wasn't the only one who noticed.
Twenty people. Excluding Michael Finn and herself, Haruka had counted twenty people. That was a lot of people on this show. Were they all pining to get a date? Or were some like herself, who only had needed money? Except on stage, she was supposed to want a date herself.
Twenty people. Excluding Haruka and himself, Shuu had counted twenty people. All in total, twenty two people. Twenty people too many. He glanced to his left, then his right. A frown settled on his face. Many of the extra twenty were leering at Haruka, their vision clouded with lust. It disgusted him. It made him want to throw up. It made him want to hide Haruka forever.
Michael Finn carefully watched each and every male on the stage. He did not need to count. He knew there were twenty-two people total. He had grudgingly made it that way himself. All of the males seemed to wish to grab her attention. Make her look at them. Feel important to her. Michael Finn noticed none seeped to be succeeding, Except one. One that had been staring at her from afar. The one she kept sending glances to. The one Michael Finn absolutely despised. It was not fair to others that this boy was not even trying to get May's interest on to him. It just happened to be that he had gotten her interest. Just as she held his. Mot fair to other contestants. Not fair to Michael Finn.
Why had he let Drew come anyways? Michael Finn always sent out the invitations personally to randomly selected boys. Out of fifty, the first twenty would automatically get in. Now Michael Finn remembered, Drew had been the first to reply by sending it back on the next day. Although, when Michael Finn had first seen Drew, he had not remembered so, Drew had sent it back with a note saying that he would only be coming for the money and to not even think about getting the girl to even try to like him. Michael Finn had read that wishing to ask him why, but now he bet that Drew would have said there was already a girl for him.
Except Michael Finn refused to let May be labeled under Drew's possession.
"Everybody, listen up!" Michael Finn Michael Finn said in a slightly louder voice, "You are all being told today that we will have our first elimination in two weeks. Try to spend some time with the lovely May, 'cause if you don't she'll be booked spending time with someone else."
What a cruel way to put it. But then again, she had come here walking with her own two feet. Haruka couldn't technically complain against the statement. She wished she could. She never got what she wished. Story of her life. She caught herself in a mid-sigh and put on a smile.
Sometimes, when she was alone, she liked to go outside at night. She felt most alive when she did. Her pokemons used to go with her. The stars would giggle with her. The stars told her many stories. But there was one thing much more appealing than the stars. The moon would whisper to her everyone was fine. The moon would secure Haruka and protect her.
Haruka needed to go out. She wanted to feel clean. Two things got in the way; it was day and there were twenty-one other people. She would have to stay inside for now, but once the moon and stars rose, she would visit them as soon as possible.
Those words got on his nerves. Not that Shuu knew why. Those feelings he felt arise only around Haruka were well reserved, (as he had quite a few), and he just said that she was wrong to induce such emotions. He was feeling one of the emotions at the current time. It felt as if he wanted to burn Michael Finn and every other male around, and having the heat knocked around within his heart. He didn't think that Haruka had caused these emotions, but he had realized that it wasn't necessarily her who induced it; it was always around her.
Sometimes, when he was alone, he liked to go walk by the sea. It felt as thought the waves would crash down against him, punishing him and cleansing him of and from his sins. He used to always bring his pokemon with him and he would train them there. It was rather pleasant, and he wished to go there at that moment in time. Any thoughts that bothered him or blocked him off would be drained by the waves. Such thoughts of rage for instance.
Problem was that he did not have a high possibility of going there. This whole show would get in the way. Plus, he did not even know whether or not there was an ocean or sea near the area.
This meant he wouldn't have his feelings wiped clean.
This meant he would be stuck with his unstable emotions.
This meant he would be filled with rage and jealousy.
Author's Second Note: Since many of you may not remember what my main question was, let me restate it: "Should Ash and the rest of them appear in this fan fiction?" Please reply! For everyone who comments, I thank you all in advance! You guys are just too sweet. More coming up!
