Kellyn: =.= that's nice
Kate: mhm...where's Karrie?
Keith: -_-" I have no clue
Me:While we're waiting, Kellyn, I've got a question for you
Kellyn: What is?
Me: Remember when you sent Karrie and Keith away while I was starting the first chapter for WSABW? Why did you send them away? And what were you doing in the absence of them and me?
Kellyn: yes I remember...I wanted privacy...
Me: O.o privacy to do what?
Kellyn: O/O private stuff
Me: Kate, mind enlightening me on this?
Kate:...
Keith: hmm...wonder if they were-
Me: Keith, perverted thoughts are not welcomed to be shared
Keith: -.- innocent minded authoress
Me: where is Karrie?
*Karrie comes in with messy hair and is in her pajamas*
Karrie: Sorry I'm late *rubs eye* I didn't have my usual wake up call
Keith: ?
Karrie: I didn't have Nick and Nathan arguing with each other this morning...
Me: Oh
Kellyn: Keith can be your new alarm clock
Karrie & Keith: O/O
Kate: Kellyn kicked Karrie and Keith out so that we could spend the day together without them getting in the way! Nothing bad happened!
Me: *pats Kate* See, a guilty conscience is not easy to bear.
Karrie: What did I miss? O.O
Keith: She brought up something that happened in the past
Kellyn: And Keith thought we did something perverted
Karrie: =( Keith!
Keith: Uh oh
Me: I do not own Pokemon!
Chapter 30: the Mystery Deepens
Kate's P.O.V.
Sophmore year as been going by and has been pretty normal. It has been pretty normal if you count Keith and Karrie avoiding getting caught in Rhythmi's daily plots to get them to kiss and my dreams that I have been having lately as being normal.
Ms. April was lecturing about the basic functions of a styler, which I already know. I took the opportunity to think about the strange dream I have been having. Strange part about it was that it was about what happened years ago when I was about eight years old.
Back then, I used to hang out with Hajimes everyday. I vaguely remember Karrie who actually used to wear her hair down and looked a bit different back then. Well, you see, the Hajime kids were notorious for breaking the rules and going where ever they wanted, when ever they wanted. There were three Hajime kids: Kellyn, Karrie, and their baby sister.
One day, Kellyn thought it would be a great idea to go into the Relic Forest/Jungle. It wasn't the first time I have been there with him though I recall that most of the time one of his sisters would come with us.
~Flashback~
"Come on Kate! We're almost there!" said Kellyn as he was climbing the vines up the rock wall.
"I'm coming, don't worry!" I replied as I grabbed on to the vines. After we finished climbing, Kellyn tugged at my hand.
"Let's hurry! We have to see the Jungle Relic before Karrie finds out we went without her!" said Kellyn. I giggled. We ran to where we thought the Jungle Relic would be. There were more vines to climb. We hurried to climb and managed to not get hit by Gligars. Kellyn ran ahead while I stopped to catch my breath. "This is it!" Then I heard people coming.
"Kellyn! Someone's coming!" I warned him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me behind a rock as we hid.
"You sure you saw two kids run over here?" asked a tall scary looking man.
"Yes, one of them was definitely a Hajime," replied a man who wore a strange uniform.
"Hajime manages to escape our grasps again," said the scary man. "Well, it dangerous to stay here any longer. Let's move out!"
"Sir, yes sir!" replied what I assumed to be a grunt. We waited for the two guys to leave. My heart was racing, why would they want someone from my best friend's family? Kellyn's hands were holding my waist and I felt heat rise to my cheeks.
"Kellyn," I said.
"Hold on, I want to make sure they are gone first." replied Kellyn. We heard some crashing which signaled that one of the guys had fell off the vine. "Okay, I think it's safe to come out of hiding." We heard a loud engine rumble. "Or not." Kellyn held me in his arms and shield me from view. I blushed. Soon Kellyn let go of me. "Stay here." Kellyn went to go check to see if it was safe to come out. I waited patiently for him to come back. "Coast is clear." I was spooked.
"Ah!" I screamed. Kellyn laughed.
"It's me silly," he replied.
"Don't do that!" I hissed. Kellyn tried to keep back laughter as he helped me up. "So, who were those people?" Kellyn shrugged.
"I don't know." he replied.
"Well, let' go to the Jungle Relic!" I exclaimed as I started to run.
"Kate! Watch out!" I heard Kellyn yell. I looked to around to see what to watch out for only to get hit by a large purple and gray thing. I started to blackout.
I was falling, off a cliff. I was going to die. Then I feel an ice cold wind push against me. I blacked out then.
When I gained conscience, I found myself being carried out of the forest by Kellyn. He was holding me gently bridal style and was softly swearing under his breath and mumbling about how it was all his fault. I don't think he realized I was awake now.
"Kellyn? Am I dead?" I asked. He looked down at me with a look of relief and a slight smile tugged at his lips.
"You're awake," he exclaimed.
"Answer me, am I dead?" I asked. He laughed.
"No, but let's not repeat that near death experience, okay?" he replied. "I think I got a white hair from that." His head was full of his brown hair. I let out a giggle.
"You're too young to get white hair silly!" I said. Kellyn smiled.
"Let's get you home," he said. "I think we have had enough adventure for one day."
~end of flashback~
"Kaaate, Kaaaate, Kate," said Keith as he waved his hand in front of my face. I batted his hand away. "Geez, sorry that you were spacing out."
Karrie's P.O.V.
The fact that Kate was spacing out worried me. Especially since I know that she was not talking to my brother mentally.
Karrie. Kellyn's voice echoed through my head. Okay, either he is bored, needs my help, or is just trying to be annoying.
What? I asked usually our telepathic link.
I need your help. Kellyn replied.
About what? I asked.
Kate. She rediscovered an old memory in which I accidentally used my, uh, 'special gifts' replied Kellyn.
What did you do?I asked. I was furious. No one is supposed to know about our 'special gifts' or our family secrets or the fact that we can communicate telepathically with each other. I'm still trying to figure out how come Kellyn can communicate with Kate telepathically. Kellyn used to scold me and lecture me about how I need to control my 'special gifts' and now he's the one who has been breaking rules and guidelines. Does he want Kate in danger? She could be hunted by the same people who have been after the Hajimes for centuries just because of her connection with Kellyn.
A Gliscor hit her, she was sent flying. She was going to fall off the cliff and die. I, I couldn't let that happen. I wasn't thinking clearly and I used one of the 'special gifts' to save her from falling. Kellyn replied. I resisted the urge to whack my forehead.
You used Icy Wind. I commented.
Luckily, I don't think she connects icy cold wind to me. But, before that, two strange men came up. It sounded as if their motive was to capture a Hajime. Kellyn said.
Did you get caught? I asked.
No. Kellyn replied. I sighed relief. Keith looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I blushed, I forgot I was in class.
You know I can't help you. I don't have the powers of Uxie, I can't erase that memory. I said. Just tell her the truth if she ever asks. She already knows part of the family secret.
Thank you. Replied Kellyn and then felt him withdraw from my mind. I sighed.
"What's wrong Karrie?" asked Keith. I blushed. Mental note: Do not sigh while having a mental conversation.
"Nothing," I replied. Keith glanced at me as if he wondered whether or not to believe me but then quickly turned his gaze back to Ms. April. Man, do I sure hope he believed me. I do not want to have to spill family secrets and pull a Kellyn.
Quick! What's the square root of 98? said Kellyn. Really? Now I'm human calculator?
9.89949493661167 I answered mentally. Professor Hastings thought it would be a great idea to see if I could memorize the square roots of all whole numbers up to 300. It wasn't a very good idea. Now I have a bunch of numbers that are practically useless in the back of my head. Luckily, I only know the square roots of whole numbers up to a 100. I would go insane with the math numbers if it was more than that.
Thanks Karrie! Kellyn replied. He owes me big time! I felt someone poking me. It was Keith.
"What?" I asked in a whisper.
"I'm bored. Both you and Kate keep spacing out on me." he replied in a whisper. I rolled my eyes. He wasn't the only one who was bored.
"Class will be over in 15 minutes, can you survive being bored for that long?" I asked, in a whisper of course. Keith pouted and I felt bad. Man do I hate having to keep secrets from him and Kate! Especially him.
"Keith, Karrie, you two better be whispering about something related to this class." said Ms. April. I felt my cheeks tint pink. Both of us tried to pay attention for the next 15 minutes. It worked. Then it was time to go to the library.
As I grabbed a book off the shelf, I took a glance at Keith who pulled out a book about old folklore and legends. He glanced at me and caught me looking at him. I quickly looked away while blushing.
What strange feelings you have for the ginger sis.
My eyes widened. That voice was not Kellyn's.
K-K-Kiwi? I asked mentally. I decided it would be best to take my book and sit down before I unconsciously make a scene. I heard a little girl giggle.
Yep. Since when did Baby Kiwi learned to get in my mind?
KELLYN! I frantically and mentally screamed at my older brother.
What? He asked.
Kiwi. I answered.
Both of you hold feelings for certain individuals. Kiwi said observantly. I couldn't stop the heat that was rising to my cheeks.
Kiwi? Since when did you? Asked Kellyn.
Easy! I've been checking in every so often. This is just the first time I've done so using a telepathic link. Kiwi replied. Yes, my parents named my baby sister after a fruit. Don't ask me why.
Figures. I told you she is the Hajime Mew chose to bond with. I said.
Oh, mom and dad say that we're having a mental family discussion at midnight. Kiwi said. Just great, now mom and dad will know pretty much everything. Yeah, we're screwed.
~end of chapter~
Kate: O.O this story now has a mystery aspect to it
Keith: =( what's the big idea with spacing out you two?
Kellyn: O.o as if my parents couldn't get any weirder
Karrie: WHY THE HECK DID MY PARENTS NAME HER KIWI?
Me: -_-" are you four done now?

Kellyn & Kate: WHAT?
Me: as for announcements...I really don't have much. Moon and Nathan will be in "Misty's New Journey" by celegal1.
Karrie: so that's why Nathan wasn't there when I woke up!
Me: yes -_-" well any ways, readers, please send in questions for the Q & A. You can submit any question as long as it is not, ah, over PG-13. You can ask questions to the characters, a character, a few characters, and/or me. When it comes to asking questions to me, I won't answer personal questions. Try to keep questions to me story related. I haven't had a problem yet but then again only three of you have submitted questions.
Kellyn: okay then
Keith: also, readers, don't forget to review!
Me: I love getting reviews! Reviews make my day!
Silence
Kellyn: um, doesn't the chapter usually end after the review reminder?
Me: usually *sees note on my desk* um...seems like I forgot to mention something ^_^"
Everyone but me: T.T seriously?
Me: you'll be seeing Karrie around in PokemonRangerAngie's story, "The Revenge of Blake Hall"
Kellyn: okay then, now can we end the chapter?
Me: *checks for any notes on the desk that I missed* um...yep!
Karrie: Review!
