Aw Shucks folks. Thanks for the Reviews! This Chapter is Dedicated to Heartofblades! Just because. :'D
And thank you Kittypride16 & YY.x-Randomness-x. Who both got the songs right. They were indeed Thanks for the Memories by Fall out Boy, and Chemicals React by Ali and A.J. =D Don't they remind you of the epicness that is Ikarishipping? Random question, but what other songs remind you of the shipping?
OMG. Just now. Like just as I'm writing this, I've discovered that Shinji's voice actor sang a cover of Hikari's theme~ 8D Love much? If any one knows if theres a full version, Lemme know! [*haz an idea for a possible oneshot* ]
Also, sorry if some of you are displeased with the fact this isn't going to be an overly emo fic. But I can't write fics like that! Plus, Hikari's pretty damn optimistic right? And Shinji can be moody enough for the both of them. Don't worry though. There will be some sad/depressing moments D;
Oh one thing I forgot to mention earlier. xD I'm totally messing up the ages. Dawns Sixteen, Shinji's Eighteen, Satoshi's Seventeen, and Takeshi's Twenty~
EDIT: Ohhaiiiii. Yeah, this needed some editing. That's what I get for posting at 11 at night 8D

"FOR THE LAST GODDAMN TIME. IT'S A GLOOM, IT DOES NOT WANT TO SEE UP YOUR SKIRT."
Shinji felt like bashing his head against the tree over and over again. How could her pokemon stand it? Shinji was not one to yell. He did not like to yell. It hurt his angelic voice. He normally stayed calm, collected, and of course, cool. But this freaking girl, I tell you…
Hikari, for the last five hours, had freaked out over a gloom. Whether it was the same gloom or not, Shinji didn't know, and didn't really give a damn. But the friggen pokemon would rustle in the bush, causing the girl to scream, and then cling onto Shinji's arm. He was going to have serious ear damage by the time this was over. The plum haired boy shook off Hikari, who was crying, again.
"Shinjiiiii…" Hikari moaned, as she stumbled to keep up with the older boy. "Can we stop now..? My feet hurt and it's getting laatteee…"
The battler rubbed his temple. He almost never stopped. At all. Not till the next town. "No." He said simply, picking up his pace.
"Well when do you stop?" Ugh, her voice was so annoying.
"Not until I get to Xia." Shinji said, shifting his weight to glance back at the girl, who was sprinting to keep up with him. Her face was crushed.
"But that's like, two days!"
"And?"
"Don't you need to sleep, and eat?"
"I've gone longer then two days." Shinji replied coolly, his eyes straight ahead. He didn't care what the girl was complaining about. She was not going to deter him from his journey. "Stay and rest if you want, but I'm not."
"B-but the man, what if he comes back? A-and, I don't w-wanna be alone…" No! No more crying! Shinji sighed. Knowing the girl and her luck, the guy would turn up.
"Fine. Just stop your fucking crying already." Shinji said, suddenly stopping. They had crossed through a small clearing, which as he heard Hikari mumble, was perfect for setting up camp.
Little did she know that setting up camp with Shinji was really just starting a fire. He had never actually been one for tents or the whole shebang, he liked sleeping out under the stars. "Happy now?" He said, his voice monotone as he sat down on a tree stump, returning Magmar, who had been nice enough to start the fire for him.
"…Where's the tent?" Hikari looked at him with her azure eyes. The Hell? Did she think she was going to get special treatment? She had gotten far too used to the luxuries of home. Shinji looked at her with an annoyed face.
"There isn't one."
"What! I can't sleep outside!" Hikari cried, flopping down on the log next to Shinji, her arms crossed in a pout. God she was such a freaking drama queen.. and yet, Shinji was kind of.. enjoying her company. Kinda. Just a little bit.
"Sorry your highness, but there isn't a tent and there nothing you can do about it." Shinji said, staring into the fire as the sun began to set. Like he was going to go run out and get her a tent. Yeah.. no. Hikari took this as a huge insult, and stomped off.
"Exxcuusseee me for living."
~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~
For the next hour or so the Hikari and Shinji didn't say a word to each other. Shinji just stared at the fire, and Hikari had pulled out her pokemon and had started to groom them. Buneary had needed serious attention. She ran the brush through the soft brown fur a few more times and then hugged Buneary close. "You look beautiful!" Hikari said to the rabbit, before returning her. Well…what now? The blunette glanced back at Shinji, who's back was facing her. Maybe…
After a bit of rustling, Hikari appeared beside Shinji, with a marshmallow on a stick. "Here…Shinji.." She said softly, forcing the stick into his hand. "I bet you're hungry, you have to be." The girl grinned and sat down next to him, her bare legs warming up against the fire. She knew the stare was coming.
Yup. Shinji stared at her, an eye brow raised, looking back from the marshmallow to her face. "Well go on, stick it into fire.." Hikari said, rather impatiently, grabbing his stick and forcing it over the fire. "Haven't you ever had marshmallows?"
Shinji said nothing, and turned to the fire again. He was hungry, and he appreciated the token, but he'd be damned if he let the girl know. So he roasted his Marshmallow evenly, turning it over and over at a constant pace. Hikari had… well…
"IT'S BURNING! SHINJI IT'S ON FIRE!" Hikari screamed, jumping up and flailing the stick around. Normally, Satoshi would've jumped up and joined in on the dance of the burning marshmallows, and then Takeshi would've laughed it off and properly make the marshmallows, but… they weren't here. Hikari screamed again as the still flaming marshmallow flung off of the stick, and landed straight on her hand. "SHINJI. OWOWOW.." Hikari flung the stick away, completely ignoring the fact she almost rammed Shinji in the eye and slunk to the ground, sucking on her hand.
"Shut up and calm down, girl." The Lilac boy commanded, as he kneeled in front of her, grabbing her hand and inspecting it. On the back of her hand, a shiny red burn was forming between her thumb and index finger. He scoffed. It was tiny. Hikari looked at Shinji, and then at her hand, blushing at the fact they were so close to each other. He really did smell like peppermint. "You'll be fine." He said coolly, helping the girl up. "If you still want marshmallows, I'LL make them." Shinji said, a tone of arrogance in his voice. Hikari stuck out her tongue, but returned to the log with Shinji none the less.
~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~
He ended up making enough marshmallows to feed an army of hungry Snorlax. Where Hikari had kept all of them in the first place was a mystery. He yawned again, the sun had gone down long ago. "I think I'm going to go to bed.." He said, turning away from Hikari and starting to the spot where he had placed his sleeping bag.
"Not so fast, you need to have some chocolate first! You can't have marshmallows with out chocolate~" Hikari said pressing a piece of the sweet brown food into her mouth.
Shinji turned around slowly, and eyed the chocolate in her hand. Oh hell no. "w-Where'd you get that?" He said, his voice full of venom.
"Your bag. I figured we could share--" Hikari paused to pop another piece of Shinji's chocolate into her mouth. "--since I shared my marshmallows.."
"Give it back."
"Shinji, that's a little unfair.." She popped another piece into her mouth, letting part of it stick out. "I mean I shared with yo---Ah!"
Shinji had lost control. She touched his chocolate! His chocolate! No one, not even Reiji was permitted to touch his chocolate. Especially some random girl. He tackled her to the ground, landing on top of her, pinning her down with his hands. This scared the shit out of Hikari, as for a second, she was back by the river with that stranger… "MY chocolate." He said aggressively, grabbing the bars out of her hand. "MINE." Ohh, she still had that piece in her mouth! Damn chocolate going to waste on some girl… Shinji leaned down, and put his lips over the chocolate in Hikari mouth, before sitting up, the chocolate now in his mouth, like it rightfully should've been! "Now, don't touch any more of my stuff, got it!?" Hikari only nodded, scared at the fact he had become so aggressive so quickly, and that he had almost… kissed her.
Shinji stood up and pulled the girl up. "Now get to bed yourself, I want to leave early tomorrow."
~u~u~u~u~u~u~u~u~u~u~u~
"Is there a hole in your heart? Or am I mistaken? I can see your capillary veins…" Hikari blinked her eyes open. What was going on? She coughed and looked up at the man before her. "Shinji..?" She murmured softly. But it wasn't Shinji, it was a giant Snorlax, his eyes focused on hers. But the Snorlax wasn't a pokemon, it was the man who attacked her. "HELP ME!" Hikari cried, wriggling about, trying to escape, but her princess gown was snagged on thousands of bleeding hands. "PLEASE.." The snorlax was laughing "Let's play surgeon~" It said, it's pokemon hands slipping onto her shoulders, tearing away at her dress. "C'mon…lets play, you want meee." Hikari was screaming. The pokemon was gone. It was just the man. The hooded man. "GET OFF OF ME." Hikari cried, clinging to her beautiful pink dress. "No… Shinji! Shinji!" She cried twisting as the mans hands slipped into her dress, he had so many hands.. thousand of hands... He hands flew up in defense as she began to scratch the man, but now, he was gone, all she saw was blue sky.. some ones arm was wrapped around her waist. She was flying. But she didn't want to fly. Hikari screamed again, wiggling, trying to escape. "Shh, it's okay.." Hikari looked up. It was Shinji. But Shinji wasn't Shinji, it was Pirate Shinji. He had a chocolate knife in his mouth. "The snorlax can't get you. It's alright, I promise." He said, dropping the girl down gently, onto his ship. Hikari was clinging to him, her nails digging deep into his back. "I don't want it Shinji, save me Shinji. The hands are coming.. I don't want the hands, she begged, burying her face into the mans pirate shirt. He smelt so good. Peppermint and Wood.. "It's alright. Sh…Be quiet now, your don't want the hands to hear you…" He said softly… And then, he kissed her. Hikari squiggled he tasted like chocolate. He pulled away, and began to melt away, slowly… "I am a pirate, you are a princess, we could sail the seven seas…" And he was gone. And the hands were coming and she was screaming…and someone elses voice was yelling… "HIKARI. HIKARI HIKARI!"
Hikari's eyes shot open.
"HIKARI!"
It was Shinji. She was clinging to him, sobbing, her mouth inches from his. She jumped back. "Shinji…" She said softly, looking at him through tearfilled eyes. "The hands…"
"It was just a dream stupid. You've been screaming for half an hour.." Shinji stared at the girl. He couldn't tell her that Hikari had just kissed him full on.
"Just a dream?"
"Just a dream, now can you be quiet and let me sleep…?"
~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~v~
Okay, well there we go. Finished. xD Not exactly how I had planned on ending it, but it was good either way. Uhm, don't ask about the dream. Haven't you had one that doesn't make any sense at all but still managed to scare the shit out of you? I had one like Hikari's, but mine involved bears and other not frightening things that were terrifying at the time.
…
Yeah.
So, any hoodles, Sorry if theres any errors, it's real late at night over here. xD
Edit: Okay, there are still probably errors, but I really can't bare to look at this chapter anymore. -___-;;. Annnyway. Thanks to those who pointed out errors, and to the girl who said that she had dream that she was being eaten by candy. I had one like it, but the apples where throwing me into potato chips and I was drowning D: It sucked.
And to that one person who had the nerve to email me and call me numerous unpleasant names, Dawn does not belong with Ash, and YEAH I MADE THEM KISS D Sure it wasn't much of a kiss, and won't be mentioned except inside Shinji's mind [until later], but come over to Canada and say that to my face. D Just Kidding :'DDD
Also, if there is anything particular you want to see in this fanfic, lemme know, I'm open for ideas :'D
