A/N: I guess you can count this as a song fic. When I do song fics, I don't include the lyrics, I write the story to reflect the song. But yeah, this story was inspired by the song. According to You by Orianthi. I has no ownage.

"You're such a jerk!" Hikari screamed through teary eyes. The mauve-haired trainer that was her victim didn't respond. At least not in the way she wanted. He just blinked.

"Why do you even hang around Kengo if it just makes you angry with me?" The mauve-haired boy asked. Not emotions played on his face. And that's what angered Hikari.

"Because, Shinji, because..." Hikari paused, trying to think of the right words. "Because, according to you, I'm stupid. I'm useless. I can't do anything right! I'm ... I'm difficult, hard to please, and forever changing my mind." Hikari cried. Then she glared at Shinji, her eyes echoing the hate she felt for him, at the same time reflecting the love she couldn't help but feel for him, the strange desire to grow closer to the hidden trainer. "But according to him, I'm beautiful. I'm incredible. He told me he can't get me out of his head. And, and according to him, I'm funny and irresistible. I'm everything he's ever wanted." Hikari tells the emotionless boy. She, with tear filled eyes, turned around and ran off.

Shinji just watched after her. As she ran away, he was sure he could hear her say something. Something that sounded like, "Why can't you see me through his eyes?"

~o~o~o~

"Hikari, is that you?" A familiar voice asked behind the crying girl, who was slumped on a bench, her face cradled in her shaking hands. "Oh, my goodness!" The voice exclaimed. Hikari looked up, her face red and tainted with the tear tracks running down her cheeks. There he was, the man of the hour, Kengo. Hikari's heart cracked as she remembered the previous conversation with Shinji.

"Hello, Kengo." Hikari croaked. Immediately, she found herself in the arms of her childhood friend. "Kengo, it hurts." She cried.

"Where?" Kengo demanded.

"Here." she said, pointing shakily to her heart. She let her hand rest right over her heart. She felt a wait placed on her hand, looking down, she discovered Kengo's hand placed over her's.

"Here?" He asked, cautiously. Hikari nodded, grasping his hands in her, still placed right over her heart. "I know how that feels." He said simply, pulling his hand away. He looked away from the blue-haired girl, who was staring intently at Kengo's face. Kengo turned around, a smile placed on his usually cheery face. "Come on. Let's go get some ice cream." Kengo jumped up, his hand extended towards Hikari.

~o~o~o~

Many weeks had passed since Hikari went to Kengo for comfort, and Hikari found it so easy to turn to him when the hurt cam back around, making its daily tolls on her heart. Of course she hadn't seen Shinji around. He would be in Veilstone, but he still haunted her dreams. Kengo, she supposed, was the only way to channel the pain. It felt so natural, to be around Kengo, and Hikari decided that if one day she was to give up on Shinji (and she prayed that day would never come), it would be Kengo's arms that she would fall into.

"Hey there, Hikari!" Kengo called from his window, as Hikari exited her house. She flashed him a smile, and soon Kengo disappeared, only to race out his front door. He skidded to a stop in front of her. His easy-going smile played on his face, and Hikari found it contagious. She smiled, and they walked off to their normal hang out.

The crisp winter air nipped at their skin as the two braved the falling snow. "It's cold, Kengo." Hikari complained. They passed some colorful shops, in search of their favorite hot chocolate cafe.

"There it is!" Kengo pointed to the small little shop on the corner of the cross walks. "Let's get some hot cocoa!" They entered the small little shop, and found themselves in a crowded room.

"Looks like everyone wants hot cocoa." Kengo mused. They made their way to the counter, where they both ordered hot cocoas. The wedged their way around people, to a little table with three seats. One of them was occupied by a blonde-haired girl, who was slurping hot cocoa, and fingering the small pokeball that hung around her neck.

"Do you ming if we sat here?" Hikari asked the blonde girl, studying the girl. She had clippy things in her hair like Hikari's, but her strips hair upheld by the clips were thiner and reached to her small shoulders. Her hair was long, and blonde bangs covered her eyes. She looked up, and Hikari noted that the girl's eyes were cobalt blue.

"Of course." she said in a small voice. Kengo sat down, and Hikari followed his lead. "I'm Himitsu. Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"I'm Kengo." Kengo said, holding out his hand. Hikari looked at him and found his eyes shinning with excitement, directed at Himitsu. Hikari frowned, and looked down at her shoes. Himitsu started talking to Kengo, their conversation floating around so many different topics, while Hikari was ignored. She sighed and got up, fighting her way out of the crowded store.

She burst out into the cold, and braced herself for the tears. And they came, rolling freely down her face. She ran blindly into the snow. First Shinji, now Kengo. Without thinking, she unseeingly ran into someone, falling unto the cold ground.

"Sorry." she whispered.

"And so you should be." a gruff voice scoffed. It was a familiar voice, and it filled her with pain, like a thousand blades individually striking her fragile heart. She looked up, and saw Shinji towering over her. He held out a hand, and she took it. Shinji hoisted her up, and she careened into his ready arms. "I'm..."

"It's okay." Hikari stopped him. She knew what he was going to do, and she knew how hard it must've been for him. "I'm sorry, too."

"It's okay." Shinji paused. "I've seen you through different eyes. You are not stupid. You are not useless. According to me, in fact, you're beautiful, incredible, everything I've ever wanted."

Hikari: Wow Shinji, that was pretty OOC.

Shinji: Shut up.

Me: No, I thought it was cute.

Shinji: Shut up.

Hikari and Me: aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww. :3

A/N: Yes, as you can tell from the banter above, I believe that was very OOC for Shinji, and you'll have to pardon me for it. I'm trying to get used to his personality, for it conflicts sharply with my sunny, super happy one. Guess I'm like Hikari in that sense... I WANT A SHINJI TOO!

Like I said, still trying to adjust to someone of Shinji's personality. Review please, leaving some well-needed pointers. I think next story will be a CRACK, cos they're so fun to right.
