"Uhh…Silver." Kotone shivered under her blanket – voice cracking at each word. Her eyes were fixed to a certain teenager who leaned against her room wall. His arms crossed as he looked at her bedroom window. "I don't want to be rude or anything, but what are doing here again?"

Silver kept his mouth shut. He didn't know what to answer. His thoughts drifted back to yesterday after his visit to Kotone's house.

"Damn, damn, DAMN!" Silver yelled. His fist punched the tree many times as he cursed. His thoughts kept rewinding the same word over and over again. It was as if his head had a permanent replay button.

Makes her happy. Makes her happy. Makes her happy.

Makes. Her. Motherfuckin'. Giddly. Happy.

"Argh!" Silver yelled again. Feraligatr and Sneasel just watched as his trainer threw a temper tantrum. Feraligatr sighed. He had seen enough. Sometimes his trainer can act extremely childish – especially if the female trainer was involved in it. The giant pokemon finally lifted his trainer before adding more injuries to himself. Silver struggled, his waist was being held and lifted off the ground.

"Let me go, Feraligatr! I'm not finished!" He waddled like a five year old – though he knew it was completely useless. His Feraligatr wasn't a Totodile anymore. He was much stronger. The boy's eyes were fixated on the tree. But he can only see one image on it – Hibiki Gold.

He could only imagine it now – Hibiki Gold – laughing next to Kotone. Kotone smiling at every single word whatever the bastard was saying. Kotone touching his arm as he comfort her. Kotone flashing a beautiful white smile while he was there. Kotone feeling grateful as the boy came to visit her every. fucking. time.

"Ahhh!" Silver led out what seems to sound like a roar. This had really pushed Feraligatr of the edge as he builds all his strength and poured a massive water gun at his trainer. In the end, the red-head was being washed away until he collided with a tree – his body hanging upside down. Sneasel seeing this laughed so hard he couldn't breathe.

But somehow, rather than getting up and yell at his pokemon, the water that was now inside Silver's brain hatched an idea.

What if, I go see her every day? Not 'visit'. More like – making sure she doesn't run away when she's back in action. Yeahh, that's right. I'll be like some police officer keeping an eye on a prisoner. I mean, it'll be perfect! When she's healthy, I'll be one fighting her first. Then she'll regret being in a pink of health! Silver smiled a sinister smile.

You know, suddenly, something poofed on his right shoulder. You could just admit that you're worried about her and making sure that Hibiki fool won't get affectionate with her.

Silver groaned. "Not you again."

Don't do it! He groaned even louder as the demon chibi-Silver appeared on his left. Don't admit that you're worried. That's wimp talk. You're no wimp. The tiny demon poked his long, sharp trident at Silver's cheek. The angel tried to shoo his opposite away.

Go rot in a hole!

Go have sex with a Mankey doll!

"Guys!" Silver shouted. It's bad enough he has problems in real life, now he has to deal with mental problems. Fortunately, this ceased the imaginary war.

Unfortunately, the demon wasn't finished talking.

Look, you know if you don't go back there and see Kotone – and that Gold wimp boy is always seeing her, she's just gonna get smitten by him. And when women get smitten, they get sexual. And when they get sexual, that's were words turns in action – if you know what I mean. The chibi started to pose a thrust that both Silvers wished they never saw.

You're disgusting. The angel chibi sniped.

You know he thinks that way. Silver growled. "I am not a pervert!" The demon only sneered. But you know it'll happen if you don't do anything. Now you don't want your precious Kotone to be touched in places you can't imagine now can –

Without another word, Silver stood up and shook his head hard – before the thoughts could get any nastier. Feraligatr and Sneasel just stared blankly at each other.

I worry for our master. Sneasel whispered.

Feraligatr sighed. Welcome to the club.

"Sneasel! Feraligatr!" Both pokemon looked at Silver. "We're staying in this town for a while, and we're gonna make sure Kotone is healthy so she is battleable!" Silver gritted his teeth. He could swear he heard the demon's laughter.

"Hellloooo." Silver was shot back to reality as he heard a snap. He looked up. It was Kotone snapping her fingers. "Earth to Silver, are you still there?"

Silver cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm here. Idiot," he muttered.

Kotone hearing this got pissed. "Who's the idiot? You're the one standing there like a pole –" She coughed before she could finish her sentence. Silver sneered.

"Look at you, all sick and still dare to fight me back."

Kotone gritted her teeth. Seriously, why is the boy here? He knows I'm sick and yet he's mocking me. Doesn't he have any sensitive sense at all? Kotone wanted to yell but she knew better than to destroy her throat. Finally, she sighed. Deep down inside, she was hurt knowing that Silver will never care for her the way she wanted it to be. It was all in her dreams. A dream that will never turn into reality.

"If you want to battle me that badly…fine. Let's just finish this," she said weakly. Kotone sat up. Charizard and Ampharos whimpered in worry as their trainer began to move her legs out of bed. Silver just widen his eyes seeing the brown-haired girl trying to manage a stand. Her hand firmly held a desk for balance. He felt bad. Yet, he was quiet. Damn it Kotone. Stop.

Finally, Kotone managed to stand – her body wobbly as if an earthquake was happening.

Kotone, stop. Silver growled. He wanted to shout.

Without the blanket, Silver can see that the girl was only wearing a white huge, oversized t-shirt. Her hair was loose and everywhere – a complete mess. Her hand was still gripping on the edge of the desk.

Stop.

"Ampharos," she coughed.

Stop.

"Chari…charizard, let's get this…over…with…" Kotone collapsed.

Both of her pokemon shouted for Kotone and rushed before she could faint face first. Luckily, Kotone didn't kiss the floor, she was caught and was being held safely.

In Silver's arms.

Silver cursed a million curses under his breath. His heart almost literally sank as soon as he saw Kotone frailly collapsing to the ground. It was as if his whole world has stop for a mere second. Damn it woman! What the hell are you trying to do! Commit suicide! Suddenly, he could feel his heart stop as the last thought hit him. Silver quickly shook it off.

He was thankful that he heard Kotone's two pokemon whimpering in sorrow – a perfect distraction for his mind. Silver turned his head to the side – both Charizard and Ampharos held worried looks. Then he looked at the unconscious Kotone, who was lying on his chest; her body wrapped in his arms. For a brief moment, he wanted it to stay like this forever. But Silver could feel the heat in her body.

Great Silver. You have officially become the biggest douchebag in the world for making a sick girl even sicker. The boy grunted angrily. His left arm held Kotone's legs while his right arm carried the other end and lifted her up. Silver gently placed Kotone on her bed. He took a step back – guilt building up in him everytime he looked at her. Ampharos laid a sheet on top of Kotone while Charizard sat next to her bed, giving her warmth as usual.

Silver clenched his fist. He felt an idiot. He felt like a jerk. He felt like a bastard.

He was a bastard.

With anger only to himself in his heart, he ran outside the room and out of the house.
