(Hey, everyone! Ranmaru here. Anyways, enjoy on my new story! Due to recent issues, a ton of other crap, and just a general loss of interest and a loss of inspiration, I'm going to try to keep A.R.R.O.W going, but I'm doubting it. Enjoy on my new story, rate and review! And for you all… *stares at the computer screen* Yes, there will be smex in this story, why I kinda rated it M. I'll also be starting a new thread, for RP's that I've done with my characters, smexy-filled or not, and post them in there. So yes, there will be vine rape soon. (_) Enjoy! Ranmaru, out~!)

Chapter 1 : Team Dissidia, move out!

"Waaaaaaaah!""

A loud thud echoed throughout my room, a very dazed and confused Servine laying on the ground, comforter still wrapped around my body. "Ugh… Note to self, no more Sitrius Berries before bed… Makes me have weird dreams about random poems…" I sigh, as I look at the calendar. "Set out… SHIT!" I grab the small satchel holding my most personal belongings, and almost ran through my door.

"Bruce! Slow down, you act like there's a fire at your feet 24/7!" I hear my mom call out as I grab an Apple off the shelves.

"Mom, my life is in danger though! If Kite said I was late, she was gonna sew my eyelids open so I could never oversleep again!" I opened my bag, making sure everything I needed was there.

"And whose fault is that?" I simply ignored the question, rolling my eyes.

"All my seeds, check… A few Berries too… And you're good too." I smiled as I held a small rock carved in the shape of a leaf. What few knew was it was actually an Everstone, my most prized possession.

"I'm sure she wasn't serious. You said goodbye to your father last night, correct?" My mom got up and wrapped me in a hug.

"Yes. And can we not forget we're talking about Kite here? The one who broke that jerk of a Scraggy's arm because he called me a skinny little girl? When she clearly warned him she was going to do so?" I sighed softly as I returned the hug.

"True." She sighed as well. "Good luck, dear."

"Psssh, I don't need luck! Luck's for ninnies who don't have the strength to push onward! Bye-ni!" I ran out the door, slamming it one last time. I was gonna make history. Carve the name "Bruce Winterblue" into the history books.

-Around the same time, Kazimaki household- (Ranmaru's POV)

"Yup! The house is clean, my tummy is full, and I'm right on time!" I grinned in the mirror that hung in the hallway, giving myself a look over to make sure my fur was all down.

As I walked down the giant hallway one last time, I felt different. Everyday was like clockwork. "Get up, study, clean the house, relax, sleep, and repeat. Man, how'd you do it for so long, Ranmaru?"

Right next to the main door, I stopped for one last thing. I sat on my haunches, and looked up at the painting, of my parents and me. "Bye Mom, bye Dad." I sniffled a little as I said farewell to the Luxray and Eletrivire on the wall. They were out on some business trip. Again. The Luxio though… He was sitting right here. Alone. As usual.

"No, I'm not going to cry. I have to grow up now, so I'm not useless to Bruce and Kite." I got up, and cracked open the front door to the Kazimaki mansion, shutting and locking it before tossing the keys into the mail slot. Every Kazimaki was a success in the world, in that fancy world of business and entrepreneurship. That train stops with me. Ranmaru Kazimaki.

-Around the same time, Sky Park- (Kitalia's P.O.V)

"It's time, isn't it?" I said softly into the wind, not like anyone was going to hear me. I sat on the bench, staring at the only thing I held to my name, a green armband, the centerpiece a green and white ribbon, the hematite stone in the center reflecting the Kirlia that stared into it. I was having that memory again. The memory of how this all started…

-Flashback-

Flames.

I stood there and stared at that small shack, the crackles and pops echoing like fireworks in the midnight. I was only a few feet away. Most likely my parents were in there, as I heard a scream for help from my mother, cut short by the loud crash of a glass bottle.

The house imploded on itself not long after that. There was no need to search the wreckage. "Kitalia… Help…" I heard the low groan of a Gallade, a hand reaching our through the burning rubble.

"You never loved me. Why should I save you?" With that I turned around, and never looked back. Nobody questioned the wreckage, mainly because there was nothing left. They didn't even know who the land belonged to.

Walking into the town at night felt a lot different then walking to Sky Park in the day. It was so quiet. I teleported myself past the locked gates, to find my normal spot: a tree, where in closer inspection, when you looked up, there was a small treehouse, a few feet in length, width, and height.

Something was different though. I saw a boy, staring up into the tree. My tree. He was a Servine, and looked my age. I quickly teleported behind him, freezing him with Psychic. "You make a sound, and I snap your neck."

The boy, after what looked like swallowing a yip, nodded. I looked behind me, and seeing the park was empty, I let him go, dropping him on his feet. "Why are you here?"

"Well, m-me and my parents got into a really big fight, so I came out here for the night. I had heard that someone lives here…" I took a step closer to him, noticing now his eyes were bloodshot red, from crying. "Everyone says it's a ghost. Wait until I tell Ranmaru about this! He'll flip!" Suddenly, he grinned, laughing a little.

"No. You won't tell anyone about this." I sighed. If my spot was revealed, I would no longer have a place to live, to hide from him. Not like I needed to hide from the drunk anymore.

"Awwwh, come on! We can be friends!"

Friends?

That was the first time I had heard that word. "What's a friend?"

He laughed a little more. "What rock have you been hiding under all by yourself? A friend is a 'mon that you know, and have fun with!" The Servine ran up to me, taking my hand and shaking it wildly. "Geez, where are my manners? I'm Bruce. Bruce Winterblue."

Who would have known meeting him would have changed my life so much? Every day, he came to that park, and he taught me everything about the world. He even started bringing the ditz, Ranmaru, along.

"What's this, Bruce?" I held the bracelet in my hand.

"It's a bracelet! You put it around your wrist!" He grabbed my hand, and slid it on, it almost a perfect fit.

"What is its pratical use? Does it hold knowledge?" I stared at that stone, it felt it was boring into my soul.

"No, silly! It's so you can look pretty!" He grinned, hopping off the bench. That made me blush for some weird reason. I shook it off, returing to my straight face quickly

"You're it for tag today, Kite! None of your Psychic powers allowed!" Ranmaru dashed off, Bruce following him.

"Why are we all playing Tag still?" I sighed as I got off the bench, jogging after them.

"Because it's fun!" They both yelled, still quite a distance away from me. I also realized, today was the third year I had known Bruce. –What is this feeling, in my chest, when I'm, around him? It's not that "love" feeling Bruce taught me about, right? Better hit the library again…- I sighed softly. –It's so weird…-

-End Flashback- (Normal P.O.V)

"Kite!" She looked up, to see Bruce gasping for air beside her. "You were in like, some sort of trance for like, a few seconds! You didn't even see me coming!"

"Well, you're here. Your eyelids are safe…. For now." She rolled her eyes softly.

"Thank Arceus…" He sighed with relief.

"Kiteeeee! Bruceeeee!" We both looked over to Ranmaru, who had just come through the main gates, and ran over to us. "Geez, I thought you were gonna be the last one here, Bruce!" He gasped a little, being able to run a little longer then the both of us.

"Psssh, you say it like it happens all the time!" He nervously scratched the back of his head.

"It does." The two were in synch, to his annoyance.

"Whatever! Let's hit the road!" Bruce started walking down the path that lead out of town and the park and out of town.

"You know, we never came up with a name. For the "exploration team"." Kitalia was right at his side, looking forward to the rising sun.

"Kite's right! We can't go around yelling TEAM QUESTION MARK'S ON THE CASE!" Ranmaru was right behind them.

"How about… Team Dissidia?" The name popped into the Servine's head.

"Dissidia? Interesting."

"Don't mind! Sound cool and fun!"

"Sweet! Team Dissidia, move out!"

-Fin-

(A peek into the next chapter!)

"H-H-HELP!"

"We're getting lucky, let's not jinx it!"

"Fall to the might of Arceus!

"MONSTER HOUSE!"
