Chapter 40: Among Relatives
"Hey Kellyn!" shouted a young brunette girl with a pink turtle neck sweater and a skirt on as she ran up to Kellyn and Kate.
"Hi Moon." replied Kellyn with a smile as he rubbed the top of the girl's head.
"Is that Kate?" asked Moon and Kellyn nodded. "Cool!" Moon turned to Kate. "I wanted to meet you someday! Not only are you Kellyn's girlfriend, you're also a close friend of Karrie's. I'm Moon Hajime, Kellyn and Karrie's cousin, well, one of the many." Moon smiled. "But my Dad and their Dad are brothers so we're more closely related to each other than we are to the rest."
"Really?" asked Kate.
"Yeah, all of the cousins are related because our grandparents on the Hajime side are related." replied Moon.
"That could explain why it looks like there is so many of you." said Kate as she recalled Kellyn telling her which relatives were here and which ones were coming tomorrow.
"Hey Kellyn! Have you seen Moon?" asked a woman with long -long as in all the way down to almost her ankles long- brown hair.
"I'm right here Caitlin." replied Moon.
"Kate, that is Caitlin, she's Moon's older sister." said Kellyn.
"Well, you do have a habit of getting lost whenever you wander of." said Caitlin to Moon.
"Moon also has a tendency to wander off and get lost." explained Kellyn to Kate.
"Is that the girlfriend I've been hearing about?" asked Caitlin when she noticed Kellyn talking to Kate. Kellyn and Kate blushed, Kellyn more so than Kate.
"Yeah," replied Kellyn. "Caitlin, this is Kate."
"I take it someone was too happy to hear you had arrived to bother changing out her pajamas." commented Caitlin with a smile as she brought to Kate's attention that she was still in her pajamas. Kate turned bright red.
"I-I-I forgot I was still wearing them!" exclaimed Kate.
"Now that you mention it, you are wearing pajamas." replied Kellyn and Moon who had just noticed that Kate was in her pajamas.
"It's alright, I heard from Meiko that Karrie still is wearing hers." said Caitlin.
"Where is everyone else anyways?" asked Kellyn.
"They're either at breakfast or over at Uncle Rex's house." replied Moon. "Karrie's at breakfast."
"Why don't we head down to breakfast?" asked Caitlin. "I have a feeling you two haven't ate breakfast yet." Kellyn's and Kate's stomachs growled in response making the four brunettes start to laugh. The four then went down to breakfast only to bump into Roxanne, Gold, and another brunette with blue eyes.
"Ah, so this is the Kate Hitomi, the talk of the Hajimes!" exclaimed the brunette girl, making Kate blush from embarrassment.
"She's cute." said Gold only to get warned through glares from Kellyn that Kate was off limits.
"She looks nice, I would imagine she's the perfect girl for you, Kellyn."said Roxanne, making Kellyn blush.
"Kellyn, I want her as an in-law!" exclaimed the brunette girl while hugging Kate around the neck. Kellyn turned bright red.
"B-B-Blue!" replied Kellyn.
"Kate, I'm Blue, Moon's older sister and Caitlin and Zenya's younger sister." said Blue after releasing her from her hug. "The pervert with the black hair is Gold and the lady that looks like a teacher is Roxanne."
"Hey! I only said she was cute! It's not like I tried hitting on her!" protested Gold.
"That's because you would be dead if you tried, Gold." replied Caitlin.
"Well, anyways, are you four heading to the eating area?" asked Blue.
"Yes," replied Caitlin.
"Good. I'll accompany you." said Blue. "I want to see Karrie, as well as that red head that Kiwi had mentioned Karrie seems to hold special feelings for."
"I'm going there too." said Gold. "I'll tag along too."
"I'm going over to the main house, so Caitlin's in charge." said Roxanne. Roxanne left and Kellyn, Kate, Moon, Caitlin, Gold, and Blue went to the eating area. Blue immediately went behind Karrie and hugged her by the neck.
"Oh ho ho ho! Long time no see Karrie!" exclaimed Blue while startling Karrie.
"Ah! B-B-Blue!" replied Karrie and then Blue noticed Keith.
"So that's the red head Kiwi told me about." said Blue. "He's a cutie." Keith blushed.
"His name's Keith," started Karrie as she struggled to get Blue's arm off from her neck, "and you and Kiwi need to stop gossiping so much!"
"Aw, is little Karrie getting uncomfortable with all the attention?" asked Blue while pinching Karrie's cheeks and pulling at them.
"Is this normal?" asked Kate.
"For the most part, yes." replied Kellyn.
"Kellyn! Over here!" said Red as he waved down his cousin. Kellyn went over while leading Kate by the hand and took a seat. "So, who's your friend?"
I thought all the Hajimes would know by now who I am. Kate told Kellyn in her mind to avoid being rude to the black haired teenage boy.
Red's dense and doesn't pay attention to gossip. Kellyn explained.
"Red, this Kate Hitomi, my girlfriend." replied Kellyn.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Kate." Red said with a smile. "My name is Red Hajime, I hope we can be friends!" Kate smiled. Finally she had met a Hajime who had not gone and crowded her as well as know her name before she knew theirs.
"Who's the new girl?" asked Garnet as he popped up from behind his brother.
"This is Kate, Kellyn's girlfriend." replied Red.
"Wait, when did he get a girlfriend?" asked Garnet. "Wait, don't answer that, I don't need to know. Anyways, the name's Garnet. I'm Red's little brother...and Gold's little brother."
"Nice to meet you." replied Kate with a smile.
"Hey, did you introduce her to Bruno yet? Or Jimmy?" asked Garnet.
"No," replied Kellyn.
"Jimmy's over by his twin, Gold." said a tall muscular man with long black hair. "I am Bruno Hajime, the older brother of Red, Garnet, Gold, and Jimmy."
When did he get there? Asked Kate
He probably was there all along. Replied Kellyn who was unsure himself.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kate." replied Kate. Suddenly, Kellyn got whacked in the back rather hard.
"Hey Kellyn! I hope you're not trying to hide!" said a woman with short brown hair and brown eyes.
"Ow...Hi Meiko." replied Kellyn as he rubbed his back.
"No way! Meiko as in the Vocaloid Meiko?" exclaimed Kate.
"Yep!" replied the woman. "That's me!"
"Amazing!" exclaimed Kate.
"Kiyoterru is a Hajime too and married to Gumi and they had Yuki, all Vocaloids." said Meiko who was happy that Kate knew who she was.
"Where are they?" asked Kate.
"On tour so they can't make it." replied Meiko. "I stay here at the dojo and let the holograms do the work most of the time."
"That's cool, how famous Hajimes are." said Kate. "You have Hajimes that are Vocaloids, you have some that are part of the Elite Four, you have gym leaders, a Champion, pokedex holders, a Top Ranger, and probably even more!"
"How did you know Red's the Champion?" asked Kellyn.
"He's the Champion of Kanto. I read the news too, you know." replied Kate.
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you all something!" exclaimed Meiko which made everyone in the room stop what they were doing and look at her. "We Hajimes will be having a little competition to show the Ranger students the dojo and get some interested the day after tomorrow. After that, we have a dance thing to entertain our guests that will be lead by Teah."
"Alright!" exclaimed Gold and Jimmy simultaneously. "Karrie, we challenge you!"
"Well, saw that one coming." said Kellyn as he sweat dropped. "Happens every time." Karrie pretended to ignore the twins as she ate her pancakes as her Emolga ate its food.
"Let's battle!" shouted Gold and Jimmy as they had a pokeball in their hands. "Go Explotaru/Typhlosion!" They both released the final evolution of the Johto fire starter pokemon.
"Here we go again." said Red.
"I'm a Pokemon RANGER student not a Pokemon TRAINER student." said Karrie as she glared at the two hotheads.
"Come on and battle!" shouted Gold and Jimmy as they completely ignored Karrie. Karrie rolled her eyes and went back to eating.
"Um, aren't you guys going to stop them?" asked Kate.
"No need to," replied Red. "Karrie's got it under control."
"Use flamethrower!" yelled Gold and Jimmy. Two flamethrowers combined into one and went right through Emolga's food, barely missed Karrie's face as it went through her pancakes, completely through the giant stack of pancakes that Munchlax had been carrying to the table, and hit the microwave.
"Hey! I was eating that!" shouted Karrie with Munchlax and Emolga yelling similar things in their own language. Karrie got out her chair and faced the two boys who had ruined her breakfast with Emolga starting to release sparks of electricity and Munchlax looking like it was ready to kill someone.
"Flame wheel!" shouted Jimmy and Gold. Karrie, Munchlax, and Emolga had to jump up to avoid getting hit by the wheels of fire.
"Hey, what's the matter? Normally you would have gone and tried to stop the flame wheel head on yourself." said Jimmy.
"Yeah, well, normally I'm not in pajamas!" replied Karrie.
"Use swift!" said Gold.
"Crap." replied Karrie, knowing too well that it was impossible to dodge swift. Her pajamas got ripped by the little stars making Karrie to start losing her temper. "Okay, that's it! I actually liked this set of pajamas!" The other people in the room noticed that it looked like Karrie's eyes were starting to turn red versus her normal eye color of blue. "Double Focus Punch and Discharge!" Munchlax and Emolga nodded and then proceed to attack the Typhlosions while Karrie jumped over the Typhlosions and punched Gold and Jimmy in the face, knocking them out temporarily. Karrie got out four Full Restores from a cabinet and healed the four pokemon affected in the fight. She retrieved two pokeballs from Jimmy's and Gold's belts and returned the Typhlosions and gave back the pokeballs.
"Are those two going to be okay?" asked Kate.
"Yeah, they have been much worse." replied Garnet.
"There was that time that they got Meiko mad, the time they got May mad, and that time they managed to get Uncle Dan mad." said a brunette boy with brown eyes. "Oh, and I'm Kenny by the way. Lyra and Meiko's brother." Kate nodded.
"Um, we might all want to not get caught in here by an adult especially since they destroyed the microwave." said Karrie.
"Yeah, shes right." replied Kenny.
"Well, I'm going outside for some training!" said Garnet before running out of the room.
"I'll take Gold and Jimmy to the infirmary." said Bruno. "You should get changed Karrie."
"Right, thanks Bruno." replied Karrie.
"Kate, you should go with Karrie." said Kellyn. "I'll be waiting over by whatever room Keith and the other guys are staying in."
"Room 10?" asked Kate.
"Yeah, that's the room." replied Keith.
"Alright, outside of Room 10 it is." said Kellyn. Everyone left the eating area to avoid being accused for causing the huge mess. Kate and Karrie went in their room to change.
"They're still asleep?" asked Kate and Karrie who were surprised to find that Rhythmi and Laurie were still in bed.
"Who is it?" mumbled Laurie.
"Kate and Karrie." replied Kate. Laurie and Rhythmi sat up and looked at Kate and Karrie.
"What happened to Karrie?" asked Rhythmi.
"Two hothead cousins." replied Karrie as she went through her suitcases for something to change into. "Do any of you know if we're supposed to were our school uniform today?"
"Nope." replied Laurie and Rhythmi.
"No idea." replied Kate. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Hello? Can I come in?" asked a female voice that sounded familiar to Karrie as she immediately turned to the door.
"Mom?" asked Karrie. The door opened to reveal a woman with beautiful brown hair with bangs almost identical to Karrie's when Karrie wore her hair down wearing a white sleeveless sweat tunic with a black skirt, a black belt, and black flats. "MOM!" Karrie ran over and hugged the woman. The woman smiled and hugged Karrie back.
"Aw." replied Kate, Rhythmi, and Laurie. The woman managed to get in and close the door of the room with Karrie in front of her.
"I missed you too, Karrie dear." said the woman.
"So you're Karrie and Kellyn's mom?" asked Rhythmi. "You don't look like you have had kids." The woman nodded and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you dear," replied the woman. "Yes, I am their mother."
"So Mrs. Hajime-" started Laurie.
"It would probably be best if you don't call me Mrs. Hajime. There are already a number of Mrs. Hajimes here." corrected Karrie's mother.
"What would you like for us to call you?" asked Laurie.
"Well, you could call me by my first name, which is Rebecca." replied Karrie's mother. "Or Miss Rebecca if you're uncomfortable saying just my first name."
"Okay." replied Kate, Laurie, and Rhythmi.
"Mom, why did you come to the room anyways?" asked Karrie.
"First: I wanted to see you. Second: I wanted to meet your friends. Third: See if I could help you girls out." replied Rebecca.
"Do you know if we're supposed to dress in our school uniforms?" asked Rhythmi.
"I know that it is optional, dear." replied Rebecca.
"Thank you." said Kate and Karrie as they went to go find casual clothes in their suitcases.
"What are your names?" asked Rebecca to Rhythmi and Laurie.
"I'm Rhythmi," replied Rhythmi.
"And I'm Laurie." replied Laurie.
"What do you think?" asked Kate who had changed into a purple tank top and denim shorts.
"Very well suited for the summer as well as casual." replied Rebecca.
"I guess mines not too different." said Karrie as she stepped out to reveal that she had the same outfit except the tank top was blue instead of purple.
"Well, aren't you both from Summerland?" asked Laurie.
"Yeah," replied Kate and Karrie.
"Well that explains how the almost identical outfits." said Laurie.
"Kellyn and that other friend of yours, Keith, are waiting outside the room." said Rebecca. "I can show Rhythmi and Laurie around, if you would like." Karrie nodded.
"Thanks mom." replied Karrie and then she left with Kate.
"Hey, there they are!" exclaimed Keith as he noticed Karrie and Kate running towards them. Kellyn looked over to noticed that Kate was in a tank top and shorts -an outfit he hadn't seen since Elementary School in Summerland.
"Thanks for waiting." said Kate with a smile when the two girls finally reached them. Kellyn nodded while blush crept up onto his face.
"Y-Your welcome." replied Kellyn. Keith stared at Karrie in shock of seeing her wear a tank top. Karrie started to blush and Kellyn elbowed Keith.
"Huh?" asked Keith as he looked over at Kellyn while blushing.
"That's my sister you're staring at." whispered Kellyn.
Overprotective brother. Kate commented making Kellyn blush from embarrassment.
"Um, well, you two look nice." said Keith while blushing, secretly glad that he had changed out of his school uniform and into more casual clothing.
"Thank you," replied Kate and Karrie.
"Why don't we go outside for a bit?" asked Kellyn.
"Sure," replied Kate, Karrie, and Keith. Kellyn took hold of Kate's hand and started to lead her outside. Karrie, not wanting to be left behind, started to follow her brother felt something warm surround her hand. She looked down to see that it was a hand and looked up to see that the hand's owner was Keith and blushed.
"You're not hurt, are you?" asked Keith who was concerned for his friend since Karrie had gotten hit by a swift attack.
"I'm fine, my clothes had gotten the worst end of swift attack." replied Karrie. "The stars explode on and very rarely do they cut things."
"Oh," replied Keith.
"Thank you for saving me pancakes." said Karrie.
"Your welcome." replied Keith with a smile.
"I hope Gold didn't bother you too much." said Karrie.
"Not at all, we were talking about pranks and what not." replied Keith.
"Gold has taken a liking to you, you know." said Karrie.
"He has?" asked Keith.
"Mhm," replied Karrie. "We better catch up to Kellyn and Kate before we lose them."
"Yeah," replied Keith. The two teenagers ran to catch up with Kellyn and Kate together, hand in hand.
