A/N: Okay, so this is really getting more exciting for me to write! Well, here the story!
"Are we with Team Rocket?" Ash asked, as they walked through the forest.
"No, they are an ally. You and I are an independent company. I will never leave your side again, Onii-sama," Runo told him, taking his hand in hers.
"I wouldn't want it any other way, Nee-sama," Ash told her.
**With Misty, Brock, Dawn, and Kairi**
"Where are Destiny and Hope though. I wish Ari had told us," Dawn whispered.
"That's not how Ari works. She only tells you a part of something and you have to figure the rest out yourself," Kairi replied, swirling her spoon in the hot chocolate she got at the Pokemon Center.
"Who do you think would know where the two live?" Brock asked.
"Most of the time when Ari says something she's the only one that knows. She knows that we'll never find out and that we'll give anything to find Destiny and Hope," Kairi told them.
"Well, let's go visit Ari then," Dawn said, standing up and pushing her cup away.
**Ash and Runo**
"Do you wish to be turned back to the side of good? To be torn away from me?" Runo asked him when they sat for lunch.
"No," Ash replied firmly, taking a sip of his soup.
"Then, we must travel to Ari's cave and give her something so that your old friends don't find Destiny and Hope," She told him.
"I will go alone. I will fight them alone. I will protect you Nee-sama," Ash told her standing up.
"No, you will not go alone. We'll get there before them and while you are fighting them I will convince Ari not to tell them," Runo told him.
"I have dealt with Ari before, let me talk with her."
"No Onii-sama! I must be sure that you will not betray me! The only way to do that is to make you fight your old friends. That is the only way you will have my complete trust," Runo told him standing up. She started to pack up their supplies.
"I will stop them," Ash whispered.
**Later with Kairi and company**
"We're almost there," Kairi told them, walking underneath a tree limb.
"That's what you told us ten minutes ago!" Dawn whined.
They walked through a clearing of trees and saw the cave opening.
"Ash," Misty whispered as she walked from the trees.
"Hello Misty," He said standing up.
"Why are you here?" Dawn asked.
"To protect Nee-sama," Ash replied.
"Why is she here?" Brock asked.
"To stop you changing me back. Kairi had her chance and blew it. She couldn't live up to her destiny. As long as she is with you won't find Destiny," Ash told them.
"Why are you doing this, Ash? Why betray your friends like this?! Why did you save me from Team Rocket those years ago?!" Kairi asked him, walking towards him.
"I was weak. I was trying to stop myself from turning into the monster you saw yesterday. I was hiding behind a wall of goodness that my evil side overcame. I am no longer the Ash Ketchum that you all knew. I will no longer betray my sister," He replied, drawing a sword from the inside of the cloak he was wearing.
"You're going to pull a sword on us?!" Dawn asked hiding behind Brock.
"Only if you try to get through," Ash replied with a smile.
**Runo**
"It is settled. I will not tell them as long as Ash is alive," Ari told her.
"Thank you, Ari," Runo told her, bowing.
"Now leave."
Runo began to trek back to the entrance of the cave.
**Ash**
"Stop this Ash!" Misty yelled as he swung his sword at Kairi.
"She tried to come forward," was all Ash said, pointing his sword towards Kairi and stabbing forward.
Kairi moved aside just enough, yet the blade hit her in the side. She gasped and fell to the ground.
"You hesitated to kill me back in Pallet Town. You changed both our destinies yesterday. Today, the only way to stop me, and to find Destiny and Hope, is to kill Kairi or she to kill me," Ash told them throwing his sword to the ground. He spread his hands out. "Kill me."
"We can't Ash. You're the one that taught me how to catch a Pokemon. You're the one that became the youngest Pokemon Master ever and got captured by Team Rocket for their own selfish agenda. How could you help someone that is working with Team Rocket?" Dawn asked, taking the sword from the ground and sheathing it.
Ash fell to his knees and held his head. "Kill me. Save me from the constant struggle inside myself. I'm two people with one body."
"What do you mean?" Brock asked walking towards him.
At that moment Runo ran out and stood in front of Ash. "Figure it out. Two people, one body." She picked Ash up and walked off.
"Brock, do you think that we'll have to kill Ash?" Dawn asked, helping Kairi up.
"I don't know, I really don't know," Brock muttered watching Runo and Ash.
A/N: Okay, so this was a quick post! I just had one out yesterday! I'll probably slow up on this story as to get my other ones worked on. Comments and Constructive Criticism are welcome!
