Five Times in Which They Met.

Kai (OC) x Blue (Leaf)

The Second

The second time they met was several weeks later, when Kai had almost given up on the prospect of finding her, though the incident had rarely left his mind. Oddly enough, it was while he was running an errand on behalf of his father for Professor Oak that he saw her. . . in Oak's lab no less, and they were talking. Kai's shinx, Sonic, growled but Kai hadn't heard it as he began processing how he was going to explain to Oak the danger of this girl. It was also about this time when Oak noticed him, smiled kindly and promptly crushed reality.

"Ah Kai, I trust you finished my errand?" He asked. Kai nodded dumbly, handing over the circuit board he had just retrieved from Saffron for Oak's new updated computer system. "Good, good, thank you!" He took the parcel, continuing; "I'd like you to meet Blue, one of my most accomplished dex holders. She's just come to say hello." Blue.

Blue?

Kai blushed scarlet when she extended her hand and smiled. From anger or embarrassment he wasn't quite sure, and if not for trying to be civil in Oak's presence, he might have made a comment on her feigned ignorance. Maybe. Still, he shook it stupidly and glared pointedly. Her smile turned to a grin.

"Nice to meet you. . . Kai, was it?"

"Y-yeah."

He was saved from awkwardness when an alarm sounded, and sharing a glance with her, they both ran to the door. Oak and Sonic followed.

They were greeted at the door with the flames of a burning home. Kai wasn't given the chance of suggesting it when Blue bolted, groping for a pokeball as she ran. Kai was fortunate enough the be an avid runner and caught up with her quickly, Sonic of his heels.

"What are you doing?" He shouted as they ran, heedlessly, into the inferno.

"I've got a blastoise." She replied, releasing the pokemon with a flourish of her hand. "Blasty, water gun!" They both stopped as the huge turtle pokemon began it's work, Kai looked to Sonic, thinking, then hollered;

"Sand-attack!" Sonic nodded in affirmation and joined Blasty.

"What are you doing?" Blue asked, turning to him. Kai stayed focused on Sonic, but smiled in answer.

"If you throw dirt on fire, it can't get oxygen. If it can't get oxygen it dies away." He pointed to Sonic to prove the point. As the sand fell on the flames they dwindled and disappeared.

"Smart." Blue stated with a smile. Kai blushed but said nothing passed it. The two remained silent for a bit, watching to flames slowly lessen. Finally, when the threat was mostly manageable, Kai turned to Blue.

"We have unsettled business."

"I know." Blue grinned, "our introduction was cut short."

"That's not what I meant!"

Kai watched Blue laugh and wave her hand slightly in dismiss.

"I want that pokedex back." Kai blushed, clenching his fist. Blue took a moment to think it over. Nodded to herself, and took a step closer, reaching into her pocket.

"Fine." She mumbled. Kai made to extend his hand in order to retrieve it, but froze when Blue's lips landed on his cheek. His whole face heated up.

"Nice work with the fire." She stated, stepping back, "but I won't give it back." And then she was gone. Her and her overly large starter. Kai blinked, Sonic met his feet, sitting down. He too blinked.

And the two stood in a ring of charred furnishing, the fire gone.

"That's the second time she's gotten away." Kai muttered miserably.

And a month later, the second installment ^^; my consistency is rather sad. . . isn't it?
