Phew! Chapter three is HERE! XD

Sorry for the delay. I'm on vacation, and I have to go out a lot with family...so I don't get the chance to write. (Plus writer's block, but that's no biggie in my book)

Anyways...

Disclaimer: The characters here aren't mine. 'nuff said.

K O T O N A R U // Different (SatoHaru) ;;

You had your gym battles...

I had my contests.

We had separate paths, and opposite personalities.

We were different.

"Eneko! Hurry up!" Haruka cried as she ran as fast as she could towards the big building up ahead. The young coordinator had, once again, woken up late for the contest sign ups. Behind her and Eneko; Satoshi, Masato and Takeshi were running as well.

"Haruka! Slow down!" Satoshi shouted.

"Slow down?! But I'll be late!" Haruka retorted.

"But if you don't, you'll--!" Satoshi stopped as Haruka crashed into an incoming telephone pole. She was unconscious and woke up five minutes later.

Yeah, five minutes. FOUR minutes after the deadline.

"Damn it! I was so close!" Haruka growled as she slammed herself down onto the leather couch in the Pokémon Center. "I was hoping that I could beat Shuu again; like I did in the Kanto Grand Festival..." She moaned and sobbed slightly. Satoshi sat next to her and patted her back gently.

"It's okay, I'm sure Shuu will be in the next contest" He whispered.

'Actually, I'm glad she didn't enter...' He thought, putting on a rather evil looking smile on his face.

Yep, you got it, he was jealous. He would mentally groan to himself whenever Haruka mentioned, saw, even touched that green haired coordinator.

'What weird taste Haruka has...' he thought again.

"Satoshi...why aren't you saying anything?" Haruka asked. Satoshi snapped and looked around, realising what was up.

"Oh! Sorry! I was thinking about stuff!" Satoshi enthusiastically exclaimed. The young female laughed and hugged her friend subconsciously. Fortunately, for both of them, they didn't notice their "closeness". (A/N: Weeeeiiiirrrrdddd eh?)

"Haruka," Satoshi whispered as he closed his eyes, "What do you think of me?"

"Mmm? I think," Haruka paused, "You're very special...to me..."

Satoshi blushed, "Really?" He asked wearily. Haruka, who was tired as well, nodded. Both trainers

Slowly closed their eyelids and smiled. Haruka however, stopped herself and finally realised that she hugging him.

...But she did nothing, of course.

'Satoshi's so cute when he's asleep...' she thought and closed her eyes, pulling herself closer, to that one person, who was, completely different from her in every way; the man of her dreams.

--

She never realised that he had the same feelings for her, but eventually, she would find out...and more...

"We're so different, but you've always been there for me..."

De...de...dekita! D:

So what did you think of that? An Advanceshipping fanfic from a non AS shipper. I guess, since there were MANY Advanceshippers out there, I thought I'd give writing an AS fic a shot.

R&R plz. :3
