Oh man, this day had been going so well, too! D: Now I have a woman after me (but not in the way I’d like) I had almost lost her, but she was still hot on my trail and probably knew this mansion better than I did.
How could this day get any----
*SLAM!*
"Hey, why don't you watch where you going, huh??"
I had hit someone and kept running--well that’s rude, Chii. Why Don’t you go back and apologize?
But as I turned around yet another new face came into my view. Whoo… The girls here just keep getting better~
Then I remembered that I was in a hurry. Akira could be around the next corner at any second!
I ran up to the girl and her friend of whom I remember vaguely as Faye, someone I had met before but only briefly. Hm, she was cute too~
“I’m sorry, darling. I--”
“You’d better be and don’t call me darling! It took us forever to get these picked up!”
I looked down at the fliers. Oooooh~ what’s this? I picked one up and read the front.
Valentine’s Ball!
Located in the North wing ball room.
Ladies wear dresses and Men dress casual.
Will have food, drinks (if you know what I mean), entertainment, contests and much more! :]
Don’t be late.
Mm, hmmmmmm….. Chii like~ ;3
“Valentine’s ball, eh?” I grinned at the two.
“Yeah,” the one I assumed was a lopunny gijinka said coldly.
Then I remembered I’d hit her and I could see her face change as mine fell. “Oh...I’m so sorry.”
For a second no one said anything until I heard Akira’s footsteps from a distance. Gosh darn it woman!
“What’s your name?” I asked as casually as possible, using my best face and letting my earrings fall to the side. “And again I didn’t mean to hit you.”
“Well fine. My name’s Lupe and this--”
“Lupe~” I played with the name. “It’s a gorgeous--”
“Chii!! HEY come back!!!” Akira’s voice rang through the hall, my blood went cold.
Lupe turned around. “Hey are you in trouble with someone else too?”
“I’ll be seeing you, Lupe, Faye.” Bowing to them, I was about to run again when I turned abruptly (almost losing my balance) and placed a short kiss to Lupe’s forehead. “I’m sorry again, Lupe. Be seeing you two at the ball, yes?” I saluted with two fingers. “Chow~!<3”
With that I continued my run.
Akira couldn’t find out about my past!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Continue?
Your very liberal with those kisses, ain’t cha Chii? XD
The chase peruses! Will Akira catch up and finally convince Chii that he needs to reveal this?!! D:
Featured in his passage are Chii, Akira, Lupe, and Faye
-*Chii*
Hoom seemed to be a bit nervous around me but she was really adorable nonetheless.
“I actually had other dates but this one feels different..” She than paused not realizing that she said that outloud. I couldn't help but chuckle. “I said that out loud right?”
I nodded and she turned red. She really was adorable I couldn't help but feel happy with her.
“Well I meant it; after all you are the first guy who calls me beautiful and, are you aware of the fact that you are very handsome? Well it’s not only that of course, you too are a really sweet guy and I love spending time with you!" She said.
I gently looked at her as we continued walking. She said that I was handsome and sweet. I couldn't believe that, that was so surprising. I just smiled and continued to walk into the city with her. Suddenly I felt her grab my arm and cuddle into it.
“So…where are you going to take me?” She asked as we continued walking.
"Well how about some ice cream?" I asked her looking down at my arm. We were just coming up to a dealer who was selling it.
Her eyes lite up. "Ice cream? I would love some." She replied with a giggle.
I walked up to the ice cream man and ordered to Vanilla/Chocalate twists. He was pretty reasonable and gave a lot of it. I handed it to her and we continued into the city.
"Oh it's so good!" She said as she licked her ice cream. I noticed that she had a mustache on her lips. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at her. "What? What's so funny?" She asked.
"Oh you just have a little mustache is all Hoomy dear," I joked with her. "Let me get that for you."
I gently grabbed her chin and licks the top of her lips and then went to lick her ice cream cone.
"LUX!" She gasped with a huge smile. "You have you're own! Stop teasing me too!"
She than punched me in the chest softly.
"But I want yours!" I cried with puppy dog eyes. I than licked my ice cream cone very seductively just to tease her.
"Lux, you are such a pervert!" She laughed as she started to walk with out me.
I smirked at her and began to walk behind her. At that same moment my ears, twitched and I heard a small whimper. It sounded like a small girl. I stopped and looked around but didn't see anyone. But I knew it was familiar, so I smelt the air. Estelle...she must have either come to the city as well or followed me. I assumed that she saw me and Hoom together. My gut began to hurt for some odd reason myabe it was guilt.
"Lux are you coming you slow poke?" Hoom said as she stopped a good distance away from me.
"Yes sorry!" I replied as I shoved the rest of my ice cream in my mouth. I would have to make it up to Estelle later.
I ran towards her and felt a sharp pain in my leg, it was like I just got shot. I hobbled over on one foot to Hoom. Than it came again and hit me in the other leg. My balance was off and I fell on the sidewalk. What the heck was that? I saw two pebbles near my legs and I looked across the street. I saw nothing but I heard someone laugh. Well, who would laugh at someone in pain. I looked back at Hoom who came running towards me.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she got down on one knee extending her hand. "Or are you just a bit clutsy?"
"Tsk! Hoom I was just falling for your beauty was all." Hell I better come back with a good come back so I wouldn't look like a complete idiot. I grabbed her hand and we continued on our way though I will admit I was a but paranoid at this time.
We walked for a few moments and looked within the windows of a few shops. The store we wanted to get too was no were near where we were. However, there was a really good restaurant I had heard about from some others that was on the corner.
"Ahh there it is. I hope you're hungry for Italian!" I pointed out the restaurant and put one of my hands on her back.
She agreed and we went in. The restaurant was actually pretty nice with a small water fountain in it and having the Italian atmosphere in it. We both were seated in a booth and our waitress, a Jigglypuff came to serve us.
"Hello, my name is Rena and I will be your server today. Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked with a kind smile.
"Hoom get whatever you want." I said her making myself a bit more comfortable in the chair. I rested one of my arms on the table and the other my lap.
"Are you sure? I would be okay with water." She said looking at me. "But okay I will take a cherry cola."
"I'll have a regular cola."
The Jigglypuff nodded and went to get our drinks. She returned moments later with the drinks along with breadsticks and dipping sauce. Both Hoom and I were so excited that we both grabbed for the sticks at the same time. We didn't even notice both of us were leaning in so close. I looked up and our noses touched. She blushed and so did I. I really wanted to kiss her again, but to our surprise a plate was dropped. We both went back to our normal seats.
"I'm sorry I really need to use the little girls room. " She said looking at the table. "Umm can you order for me?"
"Sure no problem." I replied looking in the other direction. Yeah I already knew she seemed to be ashamed of what she said. Maybe I embarassed her or made her uncomfortable.
As she got up and I watched her head to the bath room I brought both hands to my head in frustration. What the heck was wrong with me. I turned my face to the outside direction when I saw Hon outside reading a newspaper walking out of the building straight from me. That little creep was following us. I became angry but saw someone through a knife at him and he bolted. As he was running I had noticed a sling shot in his back pocket. So that is what happened to my leg. My eyes grew dull and annoyed, geez so that little punk was the reason. I thought that laugh sounded familiar. Before I knew it the Jigglypuff returned.
"I see your lady friend is in the girls room. Should I come back?" Rena asked with a blush.
"Oh no, its fine my dear. We both want to have your lunch special." I said with a smile.
"Right away sir." She giggled and bounced away.
I knew exactly what she was doing. I looked in the direction she left and I saw Hoom coming back towards me. She sat down slightly.
"Hoom, I'm sorry." I said looking at her. "I hope I didn't make you feel strange or uncomfortable."
SHe looked stunned. "Oh no no no!" She said quickly. "It's just I like being with you Lux. Really I do. So please don't think nothing of it. Like I said, I never really had a good relationship with someone. With you, you make me feel so good about myself and I know I can always be me with you."
"That's why I like you Hoom because you ARE you! Please don't ever change. You are just wonderful the way you are." I smiled at her. Did I just confess to her? Well in any case I knew she had some problems because she seemed to be always checking herself out so I assumed she wasn't confident about herself. Plus being a dark Pokemon probably didn't make it easier.
"Thank you!" She finally was able to say as she rested both hands on the table with a huge smile. I put mine on hers to make her feel not so alone. But at that moment, who knew things were going to turn ugly.
"What the heck is he doing with her?" A girl whispered at a table near by.
"She isn't even that pretty." Another replied. "She is Houndoom, I mean look at those horns. She probably was the Devil's mutt or something."
Hoom's huge smiled turned quickly to a frown and her eyes began to tear up.
"He really is handsome. Just look at him and that body. Aww how I would love to tap that." A girl said over at another table. "He even has a scar on his eye and an ear ring. He must be a bad boy."
My ears twitched. I was getting annoyed at this point. Suddenly Hoom spoke to me in a distant tone.
"Does this happen alot?" She asked. She seemed even more dark than usual. I turned to her and saw tears coming down her face but she wouldn't look at me.
"Yeah it does to be honest." I knew honestly is all that mattered to me with her. "However, women like that never catch my attention. Actually they are very much annoying. It bothers me."
She quickly looked up at me and I shrugged with a smile.
"I prefer women that are true to themselves. All they see is someone who is handsome, yes I know I am good looking but I am not arrogant enough to show off. I rather have a girl like me for my personality, my smarts, and be able to put up with me. That is why I like you Hoom. You already understand how important it is being yourself is. That's why I am interested in you." I gently put one of my hands against her cheek and whipped away her tears.
"Why is he touching her? She is so ugly." A girl said nearby.
That did it. I hit my breaking point. I turned to her and got up and headed to her table. I put one hand on the table and looked down at her. She began to shiver because my eyes grew dark and angry as I glared at her.
"The only ugly person I see is the one right here putting down an innocent girl. Besides, your make up will never cover up that ugly personality and face of yours." I snapped at her. I than stood up. "If anyone else has something to say about my date, you better say it now." I was losing it as sparks were flying around me. Many of the girls who had said such things went back to minding their own business and a few of the guys in the room nodded their heads to me in agreement. I looked back down at the girl once again. "I suggest you leave before I make your day even worse and make a fool out of you." I said this with an evil smirk on my face.
She quickly got up and left a huge amount of money at the table and left. I watched her leave and I headed back to sit next to Hoom.
"Sorry to make such a spectacle of this." I sighed. "Women like that piss me off. Are you okay Hoom?"
-END-
You leave me hanging, HA, I leave you hanging! Though this is totally adorable and so sweet of Lux ;A; I hope you enjoy!
I watched as Hoom and Lux walked down the cobblestone road away from the mansion. I stood there and said," ya, ill be fine Hoom. Just have fun". I paused for a second and then it hit,"aaaaawww who am i kidding! i miss her already!", i said with a wimper. I decided to do alittle spying and make sure everything is ok. Maybe even give Lux a hard time. I rubbed my hands together and did the mwahahahahahaaaa. I bolted out into the woods as fast as i coould. i was way ahead of them but before i got to town i stopped and began to walk. I remembered the Ball and decided to buy me some fancy duds. first thing i did was go into a shoe store. I found a pear of black leather boots with flames on them. I put them in a bag and paid for them. I walked out and went into a clothes store. I bought a black suit with a orange shirt to go under it and a black tie with flames coming half way up it. I then bought an orange suspender. I usely dont wear these kinds of suspenders. I like the ones that actually go over my shoudlers more. It looked good so i said,"ah what the hell". I paid for it all. I still had some money left so i went looking for something i wanted. I went into a outdoor store and looked around at some hiking and backpacking gear. I saw lux across the street with Hoom. I looked up and saw a sling shot. I put a rock in it and pulled it back. I let it go and it hit lux in the leg. He grabbed his leg and hopped on one foot. I shot another one and hit his other leg. He jumped off that leg and fell on the side walk. I ducked behind a clothes rack and busted out laughing till i sounded like a jacka**. I looked back up and saw them walking off. Lux looking around paranoid. I put teh sling shot back and started walking at a safe distance. I saw lux and hoom go into a corner restaurant. I sat down across the road reading a news paper i had found. I cut some holes in the paper with a knife i found in the Supply store. I was watching them and i saw they're faces were getting alittle close and i began to panic but before they got close anuff something got they're attention. I looked over and saw the shop owner red faced and pissed off with a machete. "ah oh", i wispered. I stuck the knife in the wood bench and walked off with my face still in the paper. i threw the paper away when i stormed the corner. I decided to head back to the mansion but as i walked passed a wood pole i heard a loud, "donk*. I turned to see the knife i stole stuck in the wood. I turned to see the man coming at me with the machete. "DAMN!", i shouted and bolted off. I couple blocks and we was to tired to run. so he flipped me off and i went home. When i got back i went in the front door and bumped into someone. "im sorry, i didnt mea-", i saw it was melody. She looked like she went for a swim. she blushed alittle and said,"dont ask". I nodded my head and remembered what Lupe said to me. "m-melody, w-wi-will you g-give me th-the honor of t-taking you t-t-to the b-b-ball?", I sturred my question. I heard a slight,"meep", come from her as she ran up the stairs with both hands covering her face. I naged my head several times on the wall and then i felt someone tug on my shirt,"mister, youll get retarded by doing that", a larvitar kid said. I nodded and went back to my room. I put my clothes on my bed and rapped a towel around my waist. I went into the sauna in the bathroom. I sat there thanking over what i had done. "oh lupe i hope your right.", i said to myself. I then heard my door creek open. I stepped out and saw that no one was there. I shut the door that had been opened and put my clothes back on. I hopped on my bed and started a power nap. My last thought was,"i wonder what hoom is doing".
hon houndour
someone continue please. I left plenty up places to start from. ^ ^
Hopping along the corridors, I continued with my business hanging the fliers on the wall. This is going to be the best ball for everyone... I'll make sure of it, I thought to myself, smiling. I saw something purple floating and turning the corner at the end of the hallway. I wondered to myself what it was... Probably a ghost. I began to hop a little faster to catch up with it. When my vision was focused, to my surprise, the purple thing was a Gengar!
"Hey you!" I pointed an accusing finger at the pokemon. Gengar looked behind him and began to run ( more like wobbling fast ). I chased after it. Turning the corner, I bumped into someone. I fell to the floor and the flier went with me. I growled and rubbed my head.
"Ouch..." A sweet voice whined. I opened one eye and seen Faye on lying on the floor, rubbing her butt. I checked behind her to see if the Gengar was still in sight but it disappeared..... OMG IT'S FAYE!
"Faye!" I tackled her down to the ground, glomping her. "Hey girl, we were so worried about you last night. Where were you? Are you hurt??"
Faye pushed me of her. "I'm fine now." She smiled. I smiled wider. I got up and help her get up as well then handed her a flier that was on the floor.
"Here", I commanded. She took the flier from my hand and began to read it.
"Valentine's Day Ball?" She questioned. I nodded.
"I know your not into all that 'love' stuff but it would be nice of you to join the fun since you seemed tense lately. Ya know?" I playfully whined. She thought for a min or 2.
"I'll take it into consideration. I am not sure if I am going to attend or not." She told me. I sighed.
"Fine... Hey, want to help me pick up some fliers?" I joked. She sighed and giggled.
After about 5 minutes of picking up fliers, we got every single one of them in our hands and in perfect hanging condition. We exchanged high fives and butt bumps then laughed. Just when we were going to walk off, A Chinchou gijinka came running our way and bumped into us, causing all the papers to drop. All that hard work... I was pissed.
"Hey, why don't you watch where you going, huh??" I yelled at the Chinchou, pissed off. I waited for him to respond.

Sorry for the shortness. Writer's block. ^.^'

“And I thought maybe that you were going to the Ball, so I was just going to stop in and say hi and...”
He thought I was going to ball? That's different... I wonder why he thought that? I couldn't possibly going with anyone, let alone be in a room filled with people who wonder why that one girl doesn't have a date and is sitting on the sidelines, wondering why she even came. I was that girl once, among others, but it was different then, and now, there's a new scene in place.
Things were quiet for a while after Mear stopped rambling. It took me a while to process some of this, but not much. I guess since everybody else was getting a dress or tuxedo in the house, Mear thought I was going. Not every girl likes to go to a dance...
I kept looking at Mear, with barely a hint of confusion showing off of me. Mear tried to catch my gaze again, but dodged it once he met my eyes.
“No, I am not going to the Ball,” I answered him finally. “I hate Valentine’s Day.”
“Oh...” Mear said, breaking off and seeming to be uncertain how to reply to what I said. “So you’re not going to the Ball then?” Didn't I just say that?
"I just said no," I told him once more, and this time, for a while, things stayed quiet. I couldn't help it, and it seemed neither could he, so I perked up the courage and started up the talking again.
"So what game?" I asked once more, knowing this was the third time I was asking him this. It was getting a little annoying from how I had to kept on asking this about just one thing. I decided to ignore the conversation that had just happened.
"I was thinking of either twenty-one or speed again." I already knew the answer to that.
"Speed," I told him as I wavered my hand through the air and the cards jumped off the dresser and landed in my hand. I griped my hands around them as I replied to Mear. "Let's play in the main room." I started walking past him, and brushed him by as I headed towards the main room.
Mear followed and once we got to the main room, we sat at a small, circular table near some couches, and I set the cards on the table. They sorted themselves and served themselves to us. I decided to go slow, since I had was starting to have a headache and my mind was clouded.
"Are you going to the ball?" I asked him, it bugging me once I said it. I didn't really know why I asked this. I guess I just wanted... to know, even though I already knew the answer.
He hesitated as he sort his cards at the same speed I was. It was hard for me to see the numbers for some reason.
"I think so... since..." He didn't continue, so I decided to continue for him.
"Since Lupe kind of forced you into going?" I questioned and in a small way, he nodded.
"Do you have a date?" Now this questioned me inside my head. Why specifically had I asked this? Did I really want to know the answer? My headache grew as I asked him this.
"No. I don't." And for some reason, I felt relived for this answer. I didn't exactly know why.
All I could reply was, "Ah," and that was it. We quietly continued the game as everybody rushed from room to room, doing last minute things for the dance. I never understood why this kind of thing freaked people out, like it was a mandatory thing they had to have. I saw that you didn't have to do something like this just to make yourself happy. I thought it was pretty stupid.
"Speed." I realized that Mear and I said it at the same time, which made my eyes go up immediately to him. I chuckled nervously, uncertain this time on what to say. He started this time.
"So... tie then?" I nodded, and collected the cards and reshuffled the deck. As I did this, Mear continued. "So... is there a certain reason why you aren't going to the Ball, besides hating Valentine's Day?" I paused for a while as I shuffled the deck too many times, but kept it up to stall, and I finally realized that I had to reply sometime.
"I was kind of the girl who stood out in the crowds when I was small." I didn't exactly want to describe it, so I brought up another topic. "I was reading, by the way." He tilted his head slightly in confusion.
"I wasn't taking a nap in my room, I was just reading. That's all." During this whole, I never realized how quiet I was being. I didn't really know why.
"Ah." That's all that he replied, so I dealt the cards and handed him his cards.
It was at that sudden moment that I noticed that it was a little stuffy in this room, so I turned my head to a window and moved my empty hand upwards and the window moved up, letting in a light breeze, and no sunlight. That I was glad of. A slight breeze went throughout my hair and slightly pushed my bangs to the side as I slowly sorted my cards.
I looked up at Mear, and noticed he was looking at his sketchbook, to his cards, and then to me, repeatedly. Something seemed the matter with him.
"Something the matter?" He jumped, I guessing he didn't even know that I noticed he was doing this.
"Um... N-no. It was nothing. It's nothing. Nothing..." He left off and I couldn't help but worry now.
"Are you sure?" Now, I was really sounding stupid. I never thought in my life I would ask this.
I put my cards face down, and then suddenly pulled his cards out of his hands and put them face down, and grabbed Mear's hand, slightly squeezing it. He seemed startled by this, but I gave him a slight smile.
"You can tell me anything if you're having troubles, okay?" I blurted out, then suddenly wanting to take it back. He barely nodded as he stared out our hands. They were still together, and I pulled mine back quickly, unsure why I had done this. What had come over me so suddenly?
"Sorry... about that.... Heh... Sorry," I chuckled nervously which died immediately as I didn't even dare myself to pick up the cards I had laid down.
My eyes flew to the floor, dodging Mear's gaze. Now I was the one dodging his eyes...
