She had been in that weird state of sleep, where you think you're awake, but you aren't, for at least the past half an hour, ever since Shinji had jumped down from the bed above her and entered the bathroom. Now though, it was hard to keep her eyes closed. Shinji had left the bathroom a few minutes ago, and had pulled the drapes open, letting the warm gold light flood in. Sighing mentally, Hikari sat up, and forced her eyes open.
"Morning.." She yawned out, throwing her legs off the bed and standing up. Shinji just grunted. Was he not a morning person? Well, that was a stupid question. Shinji wasn't a happy person in general. You'd think after his 20 minute shower he'd be a little more chipper, but no. He just stood there, looking out the window, a towel in his wet hair and his dark turquoise shirt in his hand. She blushed a little. He was topless. "So..umm.." Hikari trailed off awkwardly, watching as the plum haired boy turned his back on her and pulled on his shirt.
"Your friends should be back sometime today." His deep voice was a surprise to her. Shinji pulled the towel from his head. "Nurse Joy let me know that they got a phone call from Rancher Bill outside of town. The idiot and breeder ended up there. The Rancher said he'd drive them in this afternoon."
"So…What do we do until then?" Hikari asked, picking up Piplup from her pillow.
"I'm going training, I don't really care what you do." Shinji replied picking up his pokebelt and slinging it through his pants. "Go shopping or something." The teenager shrugged. He stood up and opened the door. "By the way, your clothes are in the dryer, Nurse Joy came in here earlier and collected them." And with that he left, closing the door behind him, leaving Hikari alone to her thoughts.
She stared at the door for a while after it closed, her mind blank. Piplup rustled and awoke in her lap. "Piiiip!"
Hikari snapped back to life, and stood up. "C'mon Piplup, lets go get my clothes." She said, rubbing her eyes, as the penguin clambered up onto her head.
It didn't take long to find the laundry area of the pokemon center. After stumbling into a few janitorial closets and the mess hall, there was only one other door left that wasn't a room. It was a warm room, with the artificial scent of flowers lingering. A few trainers were in there already, washing their clothes for what was probably the first time in weeks. Hikari mumbled a few good mornings, and made her way over to the lines of dryers. Only one was emitting the gentle whuurr noise. Lifting the lid of the machine, Hikari and Piplup peered inside. There were her clothes, spinning around and around.
"They look dry enough.." Hikari said, bending low to pull out the clothes. They were, indeed, perfectly dry. The blunette brought her shirt to her nose and breathed in the comforting smell. Apparently this Nurse Joy used the same detergent her Mother did. Grabbing a hamper, Hikari piled her clothes into it and left.
"How do I look?" Hikari asked a little whiles later, spinning on her foot for Piplup. The blue bird gave an approving nod. She was wearing her basic outfit, pink skirt, black vest with a white camisole, scarf, and of course, her white beanie. The clothes she had been wearing of Shinji's were now neatly folded on the bed, minus the sweater, which she had thrown on for warmth. "I still don't know what I'm going to do until Satoshi and Takeshi appear.." The girl muttered, flopping down on the bed. "Pipip, Lup? Piplup." The penguin pulled himself onto the bed after his trainer. "Good idea!" Hikari said cheerfully, sitting up. "Why not go shopping? I mean, I could buy a few things to help with the contest, and maybe a thank-you gift for Shinji.."

She talked in her sleep.
Shinji had tried to wake her, but she really was like a Snorlax when it came to sleep. Thankfully she wasn't screaming like she had the night before, but she talked about the weirdest things. He had heard his own name a couple of times, along with the idiots and the breeders, but mostly, it was just about a Grand Festival. It was cute either way. Wait what? It was annoying either way. There we go… Shinji looked back at the girl once more before stepping into the bathroom and closing the door. With a twist of a handle, boiling hot water was thundering down from the shower head.
He stripped down and stepped into the tub, under the water. The scalding water pounded hard against his skin, bringing alive his senses. The Plum boy yawned, and ran his fingers through his soaking hair. Blinking water out of his eyes, Shinji looked around at the shampoos. There was the general Pokemon Center Shampoos, which smelled like old ladies, what he guessed was Hikari's shampoo, and then his own. He actually grabbed Hikari's first, and popped it open. It smelled like Strawberries, as he suspected. It was a nice smell, refreshing and soft. Like she was. Shinji dropped the shampoo in disgust. Noooo. He did not just think that. Because he didn't like her. She was an idiot. Shinji coughed awkwardly and picked up his own shampoo. He twisted the lid off and the familiar scent of pepper mint melted into the steam.
After a thorough washing, Shinji stepped out of the tub and onto the soft carpet. He wrapped the towel around his waist, and slipped into the cool main room. Hikari was still sleeping: She was muttering about something like apples and musicals. Shinji scoffed and pulled on his pants, taking the towel that was around his waist and drying his hair with it.
"Shinji… Oh Shinji…"
Shinji's head snapped backwards to the girl. His name. Was in her mouth. And it wasn't just normal speaking. It was a moan.
Oh Arceus no. Well, maybe it wasn't a moan. Maybe it was a complaining tone…or or….Arceus damn.
"I love you…"
Shinji looked away, and banged his head against the window, scaring a nearby Happiny. This was not happening. Of course that 'I love you' could've been to any body. Nothing just him. Hell, she could've been telling the apple she loved him. Why was he blushing? Shinji's fingers felt his cheeks. They were warm, and in the vague reflection of the glass, he saw that he was red. Arceus was laughing at him.
"Morning."
Oh hell she was awake. Shinji grunted and looked at her. There she sat, in his T-shirt, with her bare silky legs hanging over the--- GOD SHINJI HORMONE CHECK. Shinji flung himself away from her, keeping a nose bleed from coming on. Okay, calm down man, just act cool and pull off the towel and put on your shirt. He did just that, and turned back to the girl.
"Your friends should be back sometime today." Shinji said, deciding this was the best way to answer the silence. "Nurse Joy let me know that they got a phone call from Rancher Bill outside of town. The idiot and breeder ended up there. The Rancher said he'd drive them in this afternoon."
"What do we do until then?"
Make love like animals? Shinji shrugged. "I'm going training, I really don't care what you do." That, children was a complete lie. But he needed to get away from the idiot. "Go shopping or something." There. All girls love shopping right? GET OUT SHINJI, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! He informed her about her clothing, and then dashed out the door, slamming it behind him and taking off into a run.
He found him in the general place where trainers trained their pokemon: A little clearing in the woods not too far from the pokemon center. He called out his pokemon, and began to train like no tomorrow!

Hikari pressed her nose against another window shop. The mall in Xia town wasn't exactly large, but it was crammed full of amazing things. "Look at all these scarves~" She swooned, looking down at Piplup. "Maybe we should get a few?" Piplup tapped his foot and shook his head. "Oh Come on!" 'Pip, Pip pip lup! Lup! Pip.' Piplup was basically telling Hikari that she had already bought three skirts, one of which was black with purple stitching, and she planned to change into it to match Shinji's sweater. Because, like, purple doesn't match pink.
"Aww, fine…" Hikari tore herself away from the window and picked up Piplup again. "Well, the welcoming lady said that the contest shop was on the second floor, so wanna head there next?" With a nod from Piplup, the blunette found the escalator, and made her way to the shop.
She had never seen anything so adorable. Hikari squealed at the sight of it. Flowers for the pokemon, Crystals, Surfboards, Full Ball gowns, Jewelry, but most importantly, Scarves. Hikari loved scarves. There was just something about them. "Piplup, lets get scarves! One for Pachirisu, Buneary, Swinub, and you… and then I'll get one for me aswell!" Piplup faceflippered. Like facepalming. Only with flippers. "…And after that, we'll get Shinji his gift. ..Hey, how about purple scarves?"
"That was pathetic! You call that a Solar Beam?!" Shinji yelled at his Torterra, who just gave him a look, that basically said 'Dude, cool down.' He had been training for at least two hours, and his pokemon were exhausted. Shinji sighed. "Take a rest then." He said annoyed, returning the tree pokemon.
"Shinji!"
Fuck you Arceus. Shinji turned. There she was, Hikari, being the normal tempting idiot. "Hmm?" He said, in attempts to stay cool. He could tell his pokemon were laughing at him, even in their pokeballs.
"I got you this, as a thank you, I figured it'd be better than a hug…" The girl trailed off. Ah, she was hiding something behind her back… Actually, he wouldn't mind a hug… but… CHOCOLATE. She had pulled out the gift. It was a life-sized Buneary made out of chocolate, who was holding a basket, filled with chocolate bars. Heck yes. He took the chocolate Pokemon, and looked at Hikari, a…..smile? on this face.
"Thanks…"
~w~w~w~w~w~w~w~
He was smiling…he was thankful…Hikari blushed. She had been looking all over for something for Shinji, and then the idea of chocolate had come to her. Originally she had planned to get him a torterra, but the Buneary was just soooo cute! "You're welco--"
"HIKAAARRRIIIII!"
Hikari was cut off to see two boys running at her. One was flailing about wildly, and the other was just waving his arm in a friendly manner. "Satoshi! Takeshi!" Hikari beamed, turning away from Shinji and meeting the boys.
"Thank god you're alive! We got so scared when we lost you. Takeshi blamed himself, but really, it was my idea to go through the fog… Shinji! You're here too? Wanna battle?!?!?!?!" Satoshi really had no restraint. It was scary.
"Why would I?" Shinji's smile was gone and he was back to being cold and unnerved. "Later." He flicked her hand in a good bye, and began to walk off, but Hikari stopped him, by wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Bye Shinji!" Hikari whispered to him. "Thank you for every thing." And then she let go.
Shinji responded with a grunt, and walked off, leaving Hikari and her friends alone in the clearing.
"Did Hikari just hug Shinji?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I'll explain it when you're older."
"Awwwwwwwww."
This was how is was supposed to be. She was supposed to be here with her friends and listen to Satoshi, and watch Brock cook. But something felt wrong now. Like, something was missing….
But she couldn't worry about that now. Her contest was only a week away.

THERE.
Ugh this is way past due and not even up to my standards, but…it's 1 in the morningv [well…it was.], and my minds jumbled.
I also apologize for Shinji's point of view, as it's a little….yeah. But, really, It's all Becky's fault. We were talking about a perverted Shinji and stuff *shifty eyes*
The last chapter should be up sooner then this one was.
Promise.
