A/N: Ah, hello Reshi's! Enjoying this? I sure hope so; I put love, passion, and KAWAII-NESS into it to make it into a delicious story! Hmm, something delicious... ooh, strawberries covered in chocolate. AH! I'm imagining again, sorry *bows* Please enjoy this story, review my lovely Reshi's!
By the way (I know, I'm talking too much, bare with this though) I like having a dark side of N then having him be such a hard ass and also be a bit soft and cry. He's just so damn perfect when he has a dark side! I shall call it... Dark N. The male who shows no emotion... battling with no fear or weakness... (looks up to the sky) but, he has those times... those times he show his true form for the person he is in love with... the person who tames his lonely and loving heart... ooh! SO DAMN HOT! Eh, I think I'll be more of a pervert in this chapter, k? *winks* You all like smexyness, right? (Pepper stares at me)... What? You're scaring me...
Pepper: Hi guys! So HeroOfReshiram wants me to make a note, and I have no idea what to say, just that this is a great story and HeroOfReshiram is getting carried away with her "smexy" scenes in the story. Well I guess that's not exactly bad . . . oh gosh, what have you done to me HeroOfReshiram? XD
Hero: HAHAHA! I CAN PROVE YOUR A HENTAI NOW! Anyway fans, enjoy the new chapter!
"Incredible, the actual Dark Stone! All the books I've read said you stored them underground where no one—not even you—could get your hands on it. Alongside the Light Stone, both have been in slumber for over ten years, haven't they? So what are your plans, N?" Cheren questioned, crouching lower to examine the unique stone. He adjusted his glasses, a pale smile on his lips. Resting on the couch, he ran his fingers along it. The surface was smooth, the color making it look like the pitch-black night. It was as if you could actually go into the stone the way it looked. N leaned against the wall, arms crossed as he watched people through the window. The early sun's rays shined in his face, pale enough for him to see through the large window.
"I plan to bring them both back and confront Touko's mother, showing her how wrong she is about me. She thinks I'm going to be a murderer like my father. . . . But I'm the polar opposite of him," he said, watching a child run past the castle. The mother followed, calling the boy back.
"Bring them back? Are you out of your mind? Two powerful Legendary Pokémon such as them . . . I think you'll only worsen the problem by doing that unless . . . one thing."N turned to look at Cheren. The younger male stood up, adjusting his glasses.
"What is that?" N questioned, moving closer to the male. Cheren simply smiled, placing his hands close to his sides. N didn't like the look on his face. Slowly, he moved closer, looking down on the younger male. Cheren felt N's breath against his face, the anger slowly rising in his voice.
"If you travel somewhere far away from Unova, away from Touko and her mother . . . everyone will leave you alone. You won't die and you won't see anyone you love get hurt at your expense," Cheren hissed. N clutched onto the male's shirt, shoving him till he hit the wall. Cheren gasped, the pain shocking through his back.
"Just who the hell do you think you are? How do you know it won't work? Do you have a problem with the way I solve my life situations?" N growled. Hands only slightly trembling, Cheren grabbed the older male's wrists. He could feel his feet barely touching the ground. He quickly kicked N's private area, causing the older male to let go as he fell to the ground, his body curling. Hands on the ground, N lifted his upper body up, glaring at Cheren.
"I know it won't work because I know the family better than you!" Cheren spat. N spun his body around, his legs hitting against Cheren's to make the male fall to the ground. N crawled on top of him, punching the younger man across the face. He punched again, holding onto Cheren's wrists above his head.
"I know Touko's feelings better than you, asshole."
"Even if in love with someone, a princess can always become one's bride by losing her virginity. Did you know that? I can easily take her away from you; take her love from you, bastard."
N stopped midair with a fist. It was almost a jerking motion when he stopped. Cheren held his breath, waiting for another burst of pain. N leaned closer, feeling the heavy breathing against his face. Letting his forehead press against the injured male, N started laughing. Cheren froze, noticing his cheek was numb with pain. N moved back, chuckling. "How do you know she's not anymore?"
He watched Cheren's eyes as he noticed shock was the first emotion, before anger. The two rolled over, Cheren quickly standing up to kick N on the side. Before he could land another blow, N jumped back, standing up quickly. He moved forward, shoulder hitting the young male in the chest. They hit the couch, the furniture falling backwards. Hearing the thud, N rolled over, sitting up to hit a fist against Cheren. He growled in pain, holding his shoulder before grabbing onto N.
"You sick bastard! Do you know what you've done?" Cheren snapped. The green-haired male moved away as the younger one stood up, holding his arm. They both where breathing heavily before N stood back up, swinging his leg in the air to hit Cheren in the arm again. He fell against the coffee table, the teacups falling to the ground, shattering. N grabbed hold of the injured male, slamming his upper body against the table again. Cheren flinched, feeling the strain as the older one held his arms tightly.
"I don't give a fuck over what I've done! What if I die without giving Touko that love? She would become someone else's and bear their child! I don't want that happening at all! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil, you bastard!" N yelled. Cheren looked at N, feeling him shake against his own body. He stared with no emotion, seeing that tears were running down N's face. Sobbing, he shook Cheren.
"I want to die happy. . . . I want Touko's mother to accept me for who I actually am! It's . . . it's h-hard Cheren . . . y-you don't know w-what it's like to live with fear each day, expecting to be killed slowly in agonizing pain, and n-no one will help you as the savage people kill you slowly . . ."Cheren could only smile softly, moving a hand slowly to press against N's face. He rubbed a thumb to wipe away the tears. N looked at him, still crying.
"I know I don't understand what it's like, but I know one thing: you will die happy. I'll help you with Touko's mother; I couldn't bare Touko drowning herself in sorrow because your stupid ass isn't with her. Are we still enemies, or can we just be friends?"
N turned his head, staring at a broken cup. Its pieces lay all over the floor; the coffee spread across the floor slowly. He got off of Cheren, letting the male sit on the table. N hugged him tightly, as Cheren froze in place for a moment. The older male was like a child, hugging him for dear life and crying. Slowly he wrapped his arms around N, a hand pressed in the male's hair. What kind of friendship did I just make? Well, I guess I better start figuring out what to do with this situation . . .
"Come on N, we better hurry up before Touko sees the mess . . . she'll suspect what we did," he murmured, holding N a bit closer. Both didn't make sudden moves, hoping something might change around them to break the rather awkward moment.
Touko sat down on the floor, quickly noticing that it was slightly wet. Lifting her head, she watched the tiny droplets of water drift around the bathroom. Only a simple towel covered her body, but she didn't mind. She was too busy feeling tired, sore, and embarrassed. These emotions would've been more intense if her mind didn't feel numb. Slowly lifting her leg so her knee could barely touch her upper body, Touko let out a sigh. It had been a month since she ran away? It sure didn't feel like that at all to the brunette. A month of running in general, weeks of running from her mother, days of running from the fears of losing N. How could the two possibly bear it any longer? Not properly loving each other, not properly caring for another, just wasn't them. Ending this battle—this war—would take a lot of courage between the two to face her mother and those guards.
It was only yesterday that the two had almost been caught. It was all thanks to Anthea and Concordia's warning that they knew the guards were approaching. She was also thankful for her Pokémon for helping in that tight situation. Without them, N wouldn't be with to her now. Touko looked up at the ceiling, eyes closing for several moments before they wandered lazily to the mirror before her. Just right above the sink, she couldn't see her reflection in the mirror, but she didn't care. This week, I need to face my mother—we need to finish this once and for all. I don't care if N doesn't agree; I'll go ahead without him.
"Touko, are you not feeling well?" a voice questioned. The door opened more and she simply turned her head to the side, looking up. N smiled, but worry still showed in his eyes. Her expression sharpened. Are those . . . dried tears? He couldn't have been crying this entire time . . . r-right? But why?
"No, I'm not feeling well," she snapped. N knelt down, not caring about his pants getting wet. Hand moving to her face, he moved her closer to let his lips touch hers. Touko blushed more, letting her leg move back down to the floor. His kisses . . . they were so soft and caring. He hugged her close, lips leaving hers for a brief moment.
"Open your mouth . . ."
The female obeyed, eyes closing tight to feel him push her body to the floor. A groan escaped her lips, feeling him deepening the kisses. Hands on her sides, N pulled away after a while, their eyes meeting. She panted, the blush still staining her cheeks. He leaned to her ear, whispering so gently, "Tell me where you're hurt. Tell me all the pain that you feel and let me heal that with love. . . . Let me adore you only, my love."
". . . My h-hips," she murmured, turning her head to the side. Hearing a simple purr from the male above, his fingers tugged at the end of the towel, pulling it away to expose her. Soft kisses were sent from her neck, tracing down to her chest and to her stomach. Touko held onto the sleeves of his black shirt, her grip tightening as his lips danced on her skin. She started to peek at him, but then all she could do was shutter as his eyes met hers. A single finger was swirling around her stomach, a sly smile on his lips.
"That can't be helped, my love. I can't fix that; I can only pleasure you with my hands and lips. You will only turn me on with those sweet calls though, Touko dear," N murmured, watching the girl wither under him with his hand traveling slightly lower. D-damn him, he's made me into a pervert, that . . . s-stupid moron; he's making me feel like those commoners outside the castle. We're acting like commoners now, ever since we ran away. Living among them, doing things I haven't done before. What have I gotten myself into? If only—
"N, n-not there!" Touko whimpered, pulling him closer. N leaned close to her face, tongue running along her neck.
"You didn't answer me, so I thought you wanted me to 'heal' your body . . ."
"Y-you stupid flirt, we . . . we have other things to do than this!"
N pulled away from her, sitting on the floor. Instantly she wrapped herself in the towel, standing up. He ran his fingers through his bangs, head low. It was a habit for him to do that, usually when the situation was awkward or when something was off. He listened as she walked out, not saying a single word. Turning his head, he stared at the floor quietly. Sounds of clothing being grazed against skin were heard, as Touko mumbled to herself. If only you knew how frustrated I am, my Touko. Even though you do this to me, just what do you think about me at these times? Perhaps you hate me, or you're just confused and don't want to deal with this. You probably don't want to deal with me, huh?
Later, both N and Touko went outside in the gardens, not even meeting Cheren at all. He was hiding. Touko didn't know why, but N knew why he was hiding. Touko breathed out, sitting down on the grass. Holding the Light Stone, the brunette examined it. Ever since she picked up the stone, the whispers had stopped. It was just a simple stone right now.
"Touko, do you wish to face your mother soon?" N asked, sitting beside the girl. Watching as her lips stayed in a frown, her eyes met his.
"Yes, I do. I want this whole situation to be over . . . no matter what I lose."
He grabbed her chin, lifting it a little so he could let his nose touch hers. Letting the Dark Stone roll off his lap, he murmured, "Even if you lose me? Will it not matter if you lose me? I haven't been able to connect with your feelings since last night. Something is troubling you deeply."
She pulled away from his grasp, staring down at the stone. N did the same, noticing his stone had rolled next to Touko's.
"Nothing is troubling me."
His fingers curled in the grass, pulling some blades out of the ground. N was feeling frustrated, as he was not able to understand what she was hiding.
"Touko, if you really love me, why won't you tell me what's the problem is?"
"N, I'm not hiding anything—"
"Yes you are!" N snapped. She flinched, looking at him in shock. He had never raised his voice before, especially never towards her. Adjusting his position, N leaned forward for a moment before looking at her. Touko stiffened for a moment, feeling his arms slowly embrace her.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't push your limits like this. It's just frustrating to not hear your worries and problems, my love."
She closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "I'm just embarrassed to look at you and I feel really awkward around you after . . . that! Thinking about it makes my face feel warm and I get this really odd feeling! Um, I didn't think I would make you concerned over how I've been acting lately. A-also, I . . . I'm afraid; I don't know what to do."
"I'm glad you told me; I was afraid of what you were going to tell me," he murmured, hugging his love tighter. Pulling away, he planted a light kiss on her cheek, smiling gently. Something stirred against Touko's leg. It was . . . warm? Looking down, her eyes widened. N whispered something. The Light Stone had a pale orange color on the surface, some areas darkened as the stone slowly spun. There was a voice, a whispering voice that soon became louder. Both of them quickly stood up; N pulled Touko away. The Dark Stone was reacting too, tinted with a dark blue color. It was almost like a sparking motion, then started swirling. Soon its voice was becoming clear; roars of life started to sound. The stones floated in the air, spinning around each other. Fire soon surrounded the White Stone, dark blue electricity surrounded the Dark Stone.
"N, what's happening?" Touko questioned, voice rising over the sound. It was like the wind was being pulled towards them and the stones.
"They're coming! Reshiram and Zekrom are awakening from their slumber!"
The Light Stone exploded with fire, causing a curled-up beast to grow in size. Touko watched in shock as its glowing blue eyes opened. The Pokémon spread its body, its fire dispersing instantly. With its wings spread to the sky, Reshiram roared. The ground shook when the Legend landed on the ground. Her tail glowed orange as she breathed deeply, adding a few growls. She had settled down, her head turning to her side. The Dark Stone reacted immediately. Electricity blared out of control, and a dark body was growing. Red, chilling eyes showed. It growled with strength, feet hitting against the ground. Arms stretching, it settled down to stare at N.
"It is time to face your past once more . . ."
"It's time to finish this war . . ."
Touko could only swallow as both Pokémon stared at N before looking at her curiously. Reshiram could only smile, eyes showing a soft side. Leaning down to be eyelevel with the human, Reshiram spoke kindly.
"It is I who will help you, young mistress. I'll help you seek the truth—the truth of why your mother does not understand Natural. I shall protect you, even at the cost of my life, young Touko."
"H-how do you know all this?" the brunette asked. The Pokémon was speaking to her through telepathy. Incredible. The creature only stood up straight, head held high to stare at the setting sun. N rubbed Zekrom, hugging the Legendary Pokémon by the muzzle.
"It's good to see you, friend. Touko, we need to leave now . . . we cannot wait much longer before disaster strikes," he murmured. She turned to look at him. How was he so calm about this? Two Legendary Pokémon had appeared before them. Looking around, she noticed no one had come to see what the commotion was. Before long, Cheren had appeared, running towards them.
"You two! Before you go anywhere, I shall accompany you. Letting you have all the fun is not a pleasure for me," he gasped, leaning forward to catch his breath. Straightening out, he leaned on one side. Reshiram bowed its head down, letting Touko climbed on. She reached her hand out for Cheren, and he grasped it.
"Only if you stay out of the way, Cher."
Zekrom lifted into the air, Reshiram following closely behind. Cheren simply lay back, scanning the surroundings. Clouds came and went, different villages passed by as well. Touko held on to Reshiram tightly. What if I fall? Will they not notice?
"Touko, look up at the sky."
Reshiram had spoken to her. Touko swallowed, looking up. Stars shined brightly, millions revealing themselves to the earth. Large clouds surrounded them, some looking like mountains. Watching the moon, Touko stared at its beauty. The world was so peaceful at night—so beautiful and mysterious. Reshiram roared quietly, feeling Touko ease her grip on its short fur. N was lying against Zekrom, head nuzzled against its neck. He was on his back, eyes watching the stars shine. Cheren was asleep, a hand holding onto Touko's shirt. The brunette could only giggle. He was probably scared of falling off himself.
"Touko, are you alright over there?"
"I-I'm fine. Just a little confused," she responded. N turned his head, patting Zekrom gently. The mighty beast slowed a little, staying close to Reshiram. Both Legendary Pokémon gave glances to each other.
"Oh? Why?"
"Reshiram and Zekrom both appeared before us after what we were talking about. It's really confusing why and Reshiram won't answer my question."
"If you must know, young one, we shall tell . . ."
"It is because both of your hearts were connected. Both you and N had understood each other to the fullest."
"Both of you have understood each other quite well as of last night, to know each other's feelings . . ."
"Touko, we understand both your Ideals and Truths; we shall help."
"See? They explained now. Touko, get some rest . . . you'll need all the energy you can get for tomorrow," N yawned, adjusting his position. Touko simply nodded. Carefully crawling a little ways on Reshiram, she lay down, feeling as Cheren held onto her shirt tighter. Nuzzling close to the boy, she closed her eyes. Facing my mother tomorrow, huh? What will we expect to happen? Hundreds of guards ready to kill? A furious mother sentencing me to never step foot out of the castle? Whatever happens, I just want to be with N. I want everything to turn normal once more . . . I want my mother to understand.
