~ The stone floor felt drastically frozen beneath her bare feet as she ran eagerly towards an invisible target which she may never find again. The tiny winged creature said as if in disapproval, "You run too slow. Move faster."
"I'm going as fast as I can! You don't have to run with the wings and all. Hey! How come you can't just fly above the walls and look over them to find Ash?"
"I'm sorry, but that would be cheating."
"Cheating?! Who's side are you on, anyway?" Misty asked.
"Um... I'm not sure why I was put in this maze, but I do know I was born to help humans in time of trouble. That's what we, fairies, do, well, there's also the angels, but they're too busy to handle the petty problems that most mortals would stress over."
"PETTY PROBLEMS?!?! I may never see Ash again!!! This is not a 'petty problem' if anything!!" Misty screamed.
"Run faster! If we don't get there in time, Ash will run right past us!" the fairie yelled, ignoring her remark.
"What do you mean, he'll run right past us? If he even saw me, I'm sure he wouldn't just run right past me, I don't know about you, but--"
"SHH!!!" the fairie suddenly paused.
After a while of waiting irritably, Misty spoke up.
"What's going on?"
"There is another presence among us..." it whispered, looking around.
"Well, duh." she said. "It's a demon right."
"No... Not demon. It seems stronger than a demon."
"But Master, you don't know how--"
"HOW DARE YOU TELL ME WHAT I KNOW AND DO NOT KNOW! I KNOW ALL. I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU ARE A WORTHLESS DEMON WHOM DOESN'T DESERVE A SPOT IN MY ARMY!"
"BUT SIR! ---"
"TWO KIDS!! TWO HELPLESS CHILDREN, YOU CANNOT CAPTURE. AND TO THINK I GAVE YOU A CHOICE OF LIFE."
"But Sire, their spirits are amazingly strong!"
"NO! YOU ARE AMAZINGLY WEAK, KAESOTO!"
"Sir, may I ask for one more chance? Just one more chance to serve You, please?" Shauna, or Kaesoto, asked.
"YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE, DEAR KAESOTO, BUT IF YOU TEND TO WASTE THAT CHANCE, YOUR SPIRIT WILL SERVE ME IN ALL ETERNAL HELL. NOW, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"
"Yes Master." Kaesoto bowed.
Brock hummed lightly as he entered his room and spotting Ash and Misty in bed asleep. He cautiously walked over to them in wonder and peeled off the covers hoping to see some clothes, not that it was any of his business, but he did have to share a room with them and all. So, satisfied, he walked over to his sleeping bag and laid down on the soft material grabbing his book.
"Dating for Dummies." he mumbled the title out loud as he flipped to the first page.
He opened his backpack and pulled out a bottle of Gatorade and a pack of Oreos.
After about an hour of reading, Brock sighed and drank the last of the sweet sports drink before marking the page in his book and saying, "So that's why..."
"No, please don't!"
His head jerked to the left in alert at the sound of Misty's voice. Then came a "Misty! Where are You?!"
Brock jumped up. He walked slowly over to the bed, not seeing either of their faces. Once he got there, he bent over them careful not to touch.
"Damn you, demon!" Ash screamed.
"AH!" Brock gasped, falling backwards to the floor.
'Sleeptalking??' he wondered. 'but... what does it mean? I've never heard Ash curse like that...'
Just then there was a light tapping on the door. Brock stood up and walked over to the door, staring out the tiny hole just above his nose. He didn't see anyone out there, and figured it was just a prank. He turned away from the door and began to walked back towards his sleeping bag when the soft knocking continued. Brock sighed and walked back towards the door to look out the hole again when the knocking stopped.
"Spooky..." he said quietly, noticing the empty presence at his door.
He waited a while, staring out to the hall, when the knocking came again. Brock, stunned by all laws of nature, opened the door a bit.
"Hi there."
Brock screamed when he saw that there was no body, but a voice.
"Please take this message to thoughts of the needy. There is trouble in your presence. Heed this advice, and thank you."
Brock looked to all sides of the hallway, but saw no one. Instead, there was a message at his feet. He bent down to examine the tiny gold writing.
'Dear Brock,
This is not a warning, prank, or advertisement. Your friends are in deep trouble. There is a demon, Kaesoto, in their sleep and there is nothing they can do to avoid it. You must be the one to destroy it. For their sake, and also for the world's.
Please visit the following address:
1772 Barren Ave.
Or call the following number:
555-8859
Seek help with this letter as soon as possible.
-Akiro'
"Oh my..." he mumbled, reading the letter again.
Suddenly, he ran into the room for his stuff and left a letter on the dresser.
"Hey, went out to save the world, be back soon." he said to himslef as he quickly wrote the words on a tissue, practically tearing at it with a pen, before sprinting out the door.
On the way down the street, Brock checked his pokeballs into the pocket of his backpack.
"Just in case of ambush or something..."
Ash fell to his knees in tire losing strength as he lost air.
"I don't think I can go on any longer." he panted.
"Don't move. There is a presence... I can sense it..." his fairie growled.
"A presence? Is it Shauna?" he asked.
"I don't think so. It's power is strong. It's too strong to be that of a demon."
"You mean---"
"Yeah, I think so..." the fairie nodded.
The two were completely still and silent for what seemed like an hour before Ash spoke up.
"Hey, do you know much about this demon?"
"I might." it answered, floating down to him.
"Can you tell me where did it come from, and why now?"
"Oh... well, I believe this demon is originally from Misty's subconscious mind. You see, all the stress and unexpressed anger and evil was stored away in her system, causing a power unimaginable. Most likely deadly."
"What do you mean, 'unexpressed anger'?" Ash scoffed. "That girl could beat up an entire football team in less than ten minutes 'cause someone put a bug in her water."
"Maybe, but I think it may also be hereditary. All this anger may have been passed down to her from her mother when she was born. You see, it was exactly that that killed her in the first place. If it wasn't for her father, the world's future would've been a total disaster. This is why she doesn't know anything about her parents. Matters such as these should be kept totally confidential."
"It's...It's gone... I think the evil spirit is fading, though there is a smaller presence that remains within the maze. It is evil, but I'm sure much more weaker than you. I don't know what happened to it, but it's weakened at least five times it's original strength." Misty's fairie said.
"Oh, really, you mean Shauna?" she asked.
"Most likely, yes."
"Oh, oh, okay." Misty nodded.
"Yes, now, let's go!" the fairie commended, flying off.
"Hey! Wait up, Tinkerbell!" Misty shouted, picking up her gown. "Ugh, I hate all this hair, no wonder why I cut it all off."
"It's... yes, I think it's gone."
"What? What's gone" Ash asked.
"The presence. The presence is disappearing, though there is a smaller one, I think it's allright to continue out search." the fairie said.
"Allright. I'll let you decide which way," he said, looking at the many turns and corners.
"This way." the fairie bagan to move, but Ash caught it's attention just in time.
"Wait! What's that? I think it's a door..."
"A door? There's not supposed to be any doors here, this is a maze. No. Let's not open it." the fairie said, examining the door.
"But, it might lead us to a shortcut."
"Ash, it's a trap. Let's just go this way and we'll see what we see."
"It doesn't look like a trap."
"Listen, if Kaesoto wanted to build a trap, why would he make it look like a trap???"
"Huh? Who's Kaesoto?"
"Just- Let's just go this way, Ash. I can sense Misty's fairie over in this direction."
"A fairie? She has a fairie, too? Oh, good." Ash sighed.
"What is so good?"
"It's just... Nothing, let's just talk as we walk. We'll get there much more faster."
::By the way, I've professionally changed Shauna into Kaesoto, just 'cuz it's a prettier name than the last. ^_^ Tat's all::
"Those puny little brats! I'll get them... I'll get them so good..."
Kaesoto stared into his Dome of Seeing, where he would watch Ash and Misty search desperately for eachother in fear of losing one another. He examined their behavior closely, but couldn't put his finger on the one thing that meant most to them in a time like this. He just couldn't...
"Wait a minute." Kaesoto tapped his chin with his fingers.
He stared on, and suddenly clenched his fist, digging the sharp nails into the palm of his hand drawing a large amount of blue blood that trickled down his wrist.
"The unsuspecting kiss... the confession... their worries for eachother..."
A deep growl rumbled though his chest and escaped his lips.
"Oh, WHY WAS I SO STUPID?!!!"
The demon slammed down his bleeding fist in rage.
"Wait... It's here." the fairie cut it's flight short.
"What?" Ash stopped, "What's here?"
The fairie didn't answer, but instead flew a few inches ahead and held out an arm. As it was slowly wafting forward, his fist disappeared, then his arm, and his shoulder. Soon enough, it popped in it's head. Ash just watched, not amused, for the day was weird enough and it wasn't like he wasn't expecting this. The entire fairie body soon reappeared with a smile.
"I knew it."
"Hey, wait, stop." her fairie commanded, holding out a hand and making Misty pause in her tracks.
"What? What's up?" she asked.
"Watch..." the fairie whispered, "I think something's coming..."
They watched, and just as the fairie predicted, hand, arm, and eventually a head appeared out of nowhere and smiled at them and waved.
"Ack! What in the world?!" Misty observed.
Then, the half-body disappeared into thin air again.
"It's here! Your gateway to freedom!" the fairie announced, happy of its quest.
"Really?! Great!" Misty exclaimed. "That's great! But... then where's Ash?"
"He's right here!" the fairie said.
"Where?"
The fairie sighed and floated down to Misty.
"There is a wall, say, an invisible wall, and Ash is on the other side."
"Ash? An invisible wall?" Misty asked.
"Yes, but-"
"Well, what're we waiting for?!" Misty shouted, running toward the wall.
"WAIT, MISTY, STOP!!"
His fairie grinned joyously.
"It's here! Your gateway to freedom!" it announced, happy of its quest.
"Really?! Great!" Ash exclaimed. "That's great! But... then where's Misty?"
"She's right across from us!" the fairie said.
"Where?"
The fairie sighed and floated down to Ash.
"There is a wall, say, an invisible wall, and Misty's on the other side."
"Misty? An invisible wall?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, but-"
"Well, what're we waiting for?!" Ash shouted, running toward the wall eagerly.
"WAIT, ASH, NO!!"
~end chap. ^_~
*pokes and teases readers* A little more excitey stuff along the way! Please forgive me for changing the name of the demon dude, but I just couldn't take Shauna anymore... ---why did I use that name in the first place???--- (*baka) Ah, oh well, all I know is that it's almost midnight now that I'm writing this... Friday night! Yeah Baby Yeah!!! lol

"YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE, DEAR KAESOTO, BUT IF YOU TEND TO WASTE THAT CHANCE, YOUR SPIRIT WILL SERVE ME IN ALL ETERNAL HELL. NOW, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"
"Yes Master." Kaesoto bowed.
