Kates' P.O.V
I woke up as the sun shined through the curtains. I groaned as I tried to roll over in my bed, only I couldn't. I opened my eyes to see Keith lying on my chest, his head buried in between me breast. I blushed furiously as I stilled at the sight of him, Arceus I didn't need this first thing in a morning.
Keith moaned as he began waking up, well, this'll be interesting. I realised that my arms were also around Keith's waist, jheeze; we're in reverse this time. Keith moved his head away from my chest as he looked at it then up to me.
"When did we go in reverse?" he asked, I shrugged a looked at he looked at me with that sly smirk of his.
"You tell me," I answered as I rolled my eyes; Keith's sighed as he rested his head on the pillow next to me.
"I'm tired," he yawned, I looked at the clock; it was 11 in the morning, why had no one woken us up? I looked back at Keith when I felt a weight rest on my right shoulder, Keith was going back to sleep. I silently shook my head, knowing he would be tired after yesterday's fiasco.
I sighed as I rested my head on top of his, I couldn't fall back asleep though, so I was stuck waiting until he woke up.
About half an hour later, the door opened to reveal Rythmi with some food. My stomach grumbled and I realised I hadn't eaten since yesterday at breakfast.
"Figured you'd be hungry," she smiled as she set them next to me on the table, I nodded my head once. Rythmi then looked at Keith, who was sleeping soundly, "How's he?" she asked as she looked at the sleeping boy, I smiled softly.
"Tired," I answered as I grabbed one of the pancakes before taking a bite out of it.
"But he's better?" Rythmi asked, just then Keith began to move his head before opening his eyes.
"Morning," he smiled slightly before smelling the pancake I had in my hand, he then looked at the ones on the table before reaching over me and grabbing one.
"Morning," Rythmi and I greeted in unison.
"So, how're you feeling?" Rythmi asked, Keith sighed as he held his head.
"Tired, weak, angry," he answered as he looked anywhere but the two of us, "I have a part of Darkrai in me Rythmi, they call me The Curse of the Son," Keith started, Rythmi gave him a confused look.
"So you're like Kate?" she asked, Keith shook his head as he looked at me.
"You want me to explain?" I asked, Keith nodded once before he put his head down and began eating again, his hair covered his face, making it impossible to see his eyes.
"Keith and I are two completely different things, I was created from darkness, which turned good, while Keith is still darkness," I began as I stole a quick glance at Keith, who was just staring at his hands.
"Anyway, Darkrai's escaping from the Shadow Crystal, which is somewhere in the world because of this Keith's powers are being activated and he can't control them properly, so he might flip out for no reason or do something he might regret," I finished, Rythmi nodded her head as she looked at Keith.
"So, he needs us now more than ever," Rythmi stated, I nodded as we looked at Keith, who wouldn't look at us. I looked at Rythmi before we looked back to Keith; we both smirked as we tackled him onto the bed.
"AH! WHAT?!" he yelled as he laughed at him before sitting up, "What was that for?" he asked as he looked at us both in confusion.
"You weren't looking at us and you were silent, we thought you died," I stated, Rythmi just shook her head at me before laughing at little. Keith looked at her in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, then it hit her, "You think because you have the powers of Darkrai coursing in your veins I'll call you a freak or something and avoid you?" she asked, Keith just nodded his head, Rythmi smiled as she shook her head at him.
"You're my best friend Keith, not to mention you're like a brother to me, give me one reason why I'd do that," she smiled at Keith as he thought for an answer but came up with none.
"Ok you win," he smiled as he gave her a brotherly hug, I smiled at the two of them as I grabbed the last pancake, I split into three equal pieces for us all before Rythmi stood from the bed.
"Barlow says you two can have the day off, so enjoy yourselves, but not too much," Rythmi stated with a wink as she walked to the door.
"YOU NEED TO STOP HANGING AROUND CRAWFORD!" Keith and I yelled in unison before we looked at each other and laughed.
"So, you feeling any better?" I asked as I stood from the bed, Keith smiled as he copied my actions, Glaceon and Buizel weren't in the room with us, I had no idea where they were.
"I'm feeling a lot better, erm, thanks for last night," Keith answered as he blushed a vibrant red at the last few words. My face also heated up as he spoke about it.
"D-don't mention it," I answered as I grabbed some casual clothes before walking into the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and did my hair before changing from my pyjamas into my casual clothes. A plain white shirt with a red rose in the middle with a short blue jean skirt. I smiled as I walked out the bathroom, Keith was dressed in baggy 'gangster' jeans, his top was in his hands as he looked at me. He smiled before pulling it over his head.
"Well, we should go find Buizel and Glaceon, shouldn't we?" I asked, Keith shrugged as he walked passed me into the bathroom.
"Sure, give me a minute though," he answered as he shut the door. I shrugged to myself before picking up my sketch pad; it had been a while since I sketched anything in it. I grabbed a pencil and did a quick outline of Keith with his top in his hands.
"Ready?" I jumped at Keith's voice but nodded my head as I set my sketch pad and pencils in a bag before swinging it over my shoulder.
"Sure, let's go," I smiled as we walked towards the lobby, Crawford was being yelled at by Luana, what else is new? Elaine was dismantling what looked like….Keith's phone, oh boy.
"MY PHONE!" Keith yelled, "Oh wait, my old phone, never mind," Keith added as he shrugged it off, I sweat dropped. Rythmi and Amina were taking calls from people, while Glaceon and Buizel sat on the sofa, they were chatting in their own world.
"Morning Katie," Crawford smiled as he walked over to me, trying to ignore Luana, but his face showed it was proving difficult.
"What did he do this time?" I asked, Luana blushed a bright red before standing next to him.
"He stole all my tampons from the bathroom, not to mention he took all the towels while I was in the shower and hid them," she whispered to me, I glared at Crawford before pulling out my baseball bat.
"Knock yourself out," I smiled as Luana took it from me before running after Crawford.
"I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" Crawford yelled as he ran, everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him.
"Who was that aimed at?" Rythmi asked as she looked at all our confused faces.
"Both of them," Crawford answered as he backed away into a corner, Luana had him trapped. I shrugged as I turned away from her beating the crap out of Crawford, though he did deserve it.
"So, where's Barlow?" I asked, Rythmi and Amina looked at me before smiling.
"He got called to the Ranger Union," Amina started.
"It seemed pretty important, Hastings was more impatient than normal," Rythmi finished; I nodded before turning when I heard Keith yell.
"GET HIM OFF!" Keith yelled as Buizel went Buizatouille on his ass, I sweat dropped.
"NO! This has proved to be a very useful skill, I MUST PERFECT IT!" Buizel stated, I shrugged, it did prove pretty useful when we were at the cliffs.
"Hey Buizel, if you can make Keith make a banana milkshake I'd be thoroughly impressed," I stated, Buizel smiled as he motioned for Keith to go to the kitchen with his hair.
"TO THE KITCHEN!" Buizel yelled, Elaine, Luana and a very beat up Crawford walked over to Rythmi, Amina and I.
"You just couldn't be bothered to make your own milkshake could you?" Luana asked, I nodded my head before we heard an explosion come from the kitchen. We rushed to see what happened.
Buizel was on the opposite side of the room to Keith, while the walls were covered in ice-cream and bananas. I sweat dropped; they had somehow managed to blow the blender up.
"Is blowing a blender up even possible?" Rythmi asked, we all looked at Luana as she asked that.
"Why you all looking at me?" she asked.
"Well, you are the one who blows things up a lot," Crawford answered, Luana glared at him as she tightened her grip on the baseball bact. Crawford cowered behind Elaine, while Glaceon rushed to see if Buizel was ok.
"Buizatouille cannot cook, but I can kick ass," Buizel stated as he stood up with Glaceon's help, I laughed at the pokemon before going to see if Keith was ok.
"I think I just went to hell and back," Keith said before looking around the room, "No, I'm still in hell," he sighed as he stood up before looking around, his eyes landed on Buizel when he saw the pokemon.
"I told you this was a bad idea," he growled.
"Well, I'm sorry but Katie wanted a milkshake and I was trying to be a gentleman, unlike someone," Buizel retorted, Keith huffed as he looked at the pokemon.
"You're worse than my conscience," Keith stated as he allowed Buizel to hope up onto his shoulder.
"But that's why you love me right?" he asked, Keith sighed as he nodded his head. Buizel smiled widely before hugging him and licking his cheek.
"GAH! STOP DOING THAT!" Keith yelled, everyone laughed as Buizel went about cleaning up the kitchen, Keith and I both pitched in to help, along with Glaceon.
We were done after about ten minutes.
"Well, as long as it doesn't happen again, you're off the hook," Keith said as he looked at Buizel.
"Don't worry, from now on, Buizel sticks to making Dim Sun Dicks smash their Miniremos," Buizel said as he saluted.
"Miniremos?" Keith asked as he turned to me.
"Long story," I answered.
"I've got time," Keith stated as we walked out the kitchen.
"It's your day of, both of you go have some fun, just don't get into trouble," Crawford ordered, I sighed as I dragged Keith out the Base with me.
"So, where you wanna go?" I asked, Keith gave me a confused look.
"Don't you wanna go see your family?" he asked, I shook my head.
"They're in Summerland for a few days, making sure everything's ok," I answered as we walked through the Vien Forest, "Where are Buizel and Glaceon?" I asked as I noticed the pokemon weren't following us, Keith only shrugged.
"I think they stayed at the Base," he answered as we reached Lookout Ridge. I nodded as we looked at the tower that was Altru Inc. it was almost complete.
"I have a bad feeling about that place," Keith muttered as he walked to the edge of the cliff, I pulled him back.
"I have a bad feeling about you standing so close to the edge," I stated as I looked at Keith, who smiled at me.
"Let's go get some milkshakes, I know this great place in Pueltown," Keith smiled as he grabbed my hand before dragging me to Pueltown. I shook my head but didn't object to him.
We reached Pueltown in the space of ten minutes, considering we were running, or in my case being dragged, and we weren't that far from it anyway.
"Busier than normal," Keith muttered as he walked around the crowded streets, me following him, only to get side tracked by a jewellery stand. Keith noticed as he walked up next to me.
"You're gonna get lost if you don't stay near me," Keith stated as he looked at what I was looking at. It was a solid gold snake with emerald green eyes that was inside a gold circle that had 'God Luck' engraved on it. Keith smiled as he looked at it.
"See anything you like Katie?" the man at the stall asked, I looked up at him before smiling at him.
"No thanks uncle, I'm just browsing," I answered my uncle, much to Keith's shock.
"Well, any time you see anything you like, just tell me," my uncle smiled as I nodded to him before walking further down the table to look at some more jewellery. Keith stayed behind so my uncle could question him about who he was; yeah my family's pretty protective.
He came back to me about five minutes later before taking me to the milkshake place, yummy.
"What would you like today?" a dark brown waitress asked, her blue eyes shined as she spoke.
"I'll have a banana milkshake," I smiled; Keith didn't even look at the menu before speaking.
"Make that two," he stated, the waitress smiled as she wrote down the order before running to put it in. People sat on different tables, each of them were a couple, either brother and sister, husband and wife or an actual couple. It really felt weird being surrounded by the actual couples, you know, the husband and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends.
"You ok? You look…..tense," Keith stated as he looked at me, I smiled before looking at him.
"No I'm fine, promise," I smiled as I pulled my sketch pad out of my bag, I began sketching random things. Though the pictures always ended up having Keith in them, jheeze, what the hell is wrong with me?
Keith was about to say something but the waitress came back over with our milkshakes, nummy. We thanked her before she disappeared. I pulled my phone out of my bag looking at it; I saw I had a text from my older cousin Ben Natsuya. I smiled as I texted him back.
'Yo Bensey, what's happening? You get into the Ranger School in Almia yet? Xx'
I hit send before taking a drink of my milkshake. My phone buzzed a few minutes later as Keith looked around the room at the other couples, I think he was a bit uncomfortable with this as well.
'Don't call me Bensey, and yes I did get into the Ranger School. I met a girl called Summer, she's totally awesome, xx'
I smirked as I sent another text back, I knew my cousin well enough to know when he has a crush, even over the phone.
'Aw, our little Bensey's growing up, what's Summer like? Xx'
Keith looked at me as I set my phone on the table; he gave me a confused look before looking at my phone.
"Just my cousin, he's in the Ranger School we were in, he's got a new friend, and crush, called Summer," I explained, Keith nodded his head as he looked at me.
"You've never spoken about your cousin," he stated, I looked at him a little confused.
"I haven't?" I asked, Keith shook his head before taking a drink of his milkshake, "Well, his name's Ben Natsuya, he's Jake's older brother, they get along very well, he looks like me in a way. His hair is a shade or two darker than mine and his eyes match," I explained, Keith nodded his head, "He has the complete opposite personality to you, it's annoying at first, but it kind of grows on ya," I finished as I took another sip of my drink.
"I do not have a crush on Summer, and I'm wounded Katie, you think I'm annoying," a voice came from behind me, I turned my head upwards to see Ben standing over me, Keith smirked, he knew he was there the whole time, didn't he? I glared at Keith, who smirked wider before standing up and hugging Ben.
"It's good to see you again Ben," I smiled, Ben nodded his head.
"You too, and this is?" he asked as he looked at Keith.
"Keith Dazzle," I answered, Ben made an 'o' with his mouth before nodding, I saw the hesitation in his eyes but Ben always gives someone a chance at first.
"Nice to meet you Keith, my name's Ben," Ben smiled as he held his hand out, Keith shook it as he stood up and paid the bill. I grabbed my things before we walked out the small café like shop. We ran into a girl with short brown hair, almost the same colour as mine. It went to her shoulders and spiked out, she had matching eyes.
"Ben, where the hell did you go?" she asked, Ben smiled when he saw her.
"Sorry Summer, I saw my cousin and I had to say hello," Ben smiled as he nodded towards me, Summer followed his gaze.
"So you're Kate."
"So you're Summer," we said at the same time before laughing, "I think we'll get along just fine," I smiled, Summer nodded her head as she shook my hand.
"Ditto, and you're Keith Dazzle right?" she asked, Keith nodded his head as we all began walking to Altru Square.
"So, were you two on a date?" Ben asked as he looked at me and Keith.
"Does everyone in your family like to embarrass you and your friends?" Keith asked, I sighed as I looked at him.
"You get used to it, eventually," I answered, "And I could ask you two the same thing," I stated as I looked at Ben and Summer, who both blushed.
"You were weren't you?" I asked, Ben shook his head.
"No we weren't, we were out as friends," he stated, I smiled and decided to save him some embarrassment.
"Alright, I believe you," I answered as we sat on a bench in the square. Keith smiled as he let the sun hit his face, along with his arms as he stretched them along the back of the bench. I rolled my eyes before leaning back on one; Ben cocked an eyebrow but said nothing.
"So how's Crawford?" he asked.
"Bloody, very, very bloody," Keith answered as he opened his eyes to look at Ben, whose face filled with horror.
"What Keith means is he was being his usual perverted self to Luana, and me pulling things out of nowhere, I gave her a baseball bat, put them together and…"
"You get a bloody Crawford," Keith finished as he looked at us, Summer laughed a little.
"Maybe you could play Bloody Crawford instead of Bloody Mary," she stated, I thought for a second.
"You probably could have with the stated he was on, Arceus did he look bad," I mused as I looked at the sky.
"Speaking of which, does Keith know about you know what?" Ben whispered to me as he looked at Keith, who cocked a brow at him, I sighed before nodding my head.
"Yeah he knows, and he won't say anything, his dad and Phantom found out for themselves," I stated, Ben's eye went wide as he looked at me.
"Phantom knows, oh it's the end of the world," Ben sighed dramatically before falling off the bench.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're gay," Summer and I said in unison. We looked at each other before laughing and high fiving.
"HEY! Two against one isn't fair, why's it always me that gets picked on?" Ben asked as he sulked on the ground.
"Because I'm not allowed to pick on Jake," I answered as I kicked him a little.
"Don't kick me," Ben glared playfully, I smirked as I kicked him again, he grabbed my foot before dragging me off the bench.
"HEY!" I yelled as he began tickling me, Keith smiled as he shook his head at us, while Summer just laughed at us both.
"You two are so alike," Summer stated as she looked at Ben with a warm smile, causing him to blush, while I smirked, yeah, they'd get together sooner or later.
The day passed by quickly and soon we were heading back to Vientown. Ben and Summer had to go ahead, considering the curfew for the school had changed due to Dim Sun, so it was just Keith and me.
"Your cousin is annoying, but you're right about him growing on you," Keith stated, I smiled slightly at him as we walked through the Vien Forest.
"I told you it would, Ben's a lot weirder than that though, so if you're ever alone with him just be careful, though I doubt you'll ever be alone with him," I stated as I laughed aloud for a second or so. Keith smiled slightly as he looked at me.
"Not bad for a day off huh?" he asked, I smiled as I looked at the road ahead of us.
"I had a good time, I don't think I could have had such a good time if I were on my own," I answered as we continued walking. The moon shone down from the sky as pokemon ran to their homes for the night. Keith smiled as he looked at the stars, the moon lit up his face as he did so. My stomach began turning as I tried my hardest to figure out what was wrong with me, I knew I liked Keith, but why did I feel like this.
I didn't have time to finish thinking as we arrived in Vientown. I sighed as we stepped into the Base, Crawford laid motionless on the ground. Keith grabbed a nearby stick as he poked the boy, he didn't move.
"Ok, either there's a murderer on the loose, or Luana did something to him," Keith stated, I shrugged as I poked Crawford, still no response, I smirked as I looked at Rythmi, Luana, Elaine and Amina, who were all sat on the couches.
"Luana, get me a make-up kit, now," I ordered, Luana mock saluted before running to her room.
"Well, let's give Crawford a makeover," I stated as she ran back with the make-up kit, Keith gulped before backing out the room slowly with Buizel at his feet.
I smiled as we finished applying the make-up to Crawford. I took my phone out before snapping a picture and walking to Amina and Rythmi's desk.
"Think you could send this to every Base?" I asked, the two smirked as they nodded their heads; their bangs covered their eyes making them look evil.
I smirked as I walked off towards our rooms, Glaceon followed me. When I walked in, I saw Keith sat on his bed….reading a book?
"Woah, I just entered a twilight zone, need to get back to reality," I said as I back out the door, Keith threw the book at me, it was only then I realised it was a manga.
"Oh, never mind," I smiled; Keith chuckled as he looked at me.
"Maybe I should have taken the baseball bat from Luana," I said aloud, Keith looked at me with wide eyes.
"You mean she still has it?" he asked, I nodded my head towards him, his eyes just stayed wide.
"Hide me," he said as he jumped under his blankets, I looked at Buizel who shrugged.
"You're really weird you know," I stated as I grabbed a pair of pyjamas.
"I resent that," Keith said as I walked towards the bathroom, I couldn't help but laugh at him as I did so. I walked back out the bathroom a few minutes later with my pyjamas on. I slid into my bed, feeling cold and lonely. I sighed as I put my hands over my face.
"Lonely?" Keith asked, I just glared at him.
"Hell no," I answered, Keith smirked as he walked over to my bed before climbing in, "This is becoming a regular thing," I stated, Keith just shrugged.
"So's that," he said nodding his head towards Glaceon and Buizel, who were crashed out on Keith's bed.
"I don't even want to think of what they were doing," he said with a smirk, I looked at him before blushing rapidly and pulling a disgusted face.
"Ew Keith, how can you think like that?" I asked, "In fact, don't answer that," I added before turning to face the wall.
"You know you like it," Keith whispered as his arm slid around my waist, I moved so I was facing him again, I smirked a little.
"Maybe I do," I whispered in a needy voice, Keith smirked as he looked at me, "I had fun today," I smiled innocently making Keith laugh a little.
"Damn Kate, how is it you can change moods so quickly?" he asked, I looked at him.
"I'm a girl," I stated.
"Right PMS," he thought aloud, I hit his chest when he said that.
"No, not PSM," I growled, Keith just laughed as he looked into my eyes. I felt my face heat up before I rested my hands against his chest feeling his heartbeat.
"Kate," Keith whispered, I couldn't answer him, as I moved closer to his lips with my own, "Kate," he whispered again, I smirked, stopping a centimetre away from his lips.
"Night Keith," I smiled before turning around. Keith growled a little at me as he tightened his hold on me.
"You're not the only one who can be a tease," I stated as I closed my eyes.
"Night Kate," Keith smiled as I felt him kiss my cheek, yeah this was definitely becoming a routine. But I really did want to kiss him; it took everything I had not to.
