Chapter 15 - Friend or foe (3)

the next day I woke up to see Hikari lying down next to me. I was now in Hikari's embrace. He was hugging me like a teddy bear. All of the injuries that were caused in the nightmare, I woke up to the next morning. I had a huge cut on my stomach and Hikari was tightly squeezing me in his sleep. I wasn't able to yell out in pain because my throat still hurt, even more then yesterday. It hurt to breathe, I mean, during the battle Kurai did strangle me half to death multiple times during the nightmare. I poked the side of my neck. "Ss!" I hissed quietly in pain. I didn't think I would be able to move much even if Hikari wasn't squeezing the life out of me. "Good morning Hailey." Hikari said sleepily. I gave him a weak smile. "Hey what's wrong?" Hikari asked with worry. Tears started forming in the corners of my eyes. I blinked them away. The pain was overwhelming but if I cried , it would only hurt more. Despite how much it hurt me I shuttered a deep breath. I then felt nice and warm. I then realised what was happening. I slowly closed my eyes as I fell back asleep. I woke up to see that Hikari was lying next to me still. I then smiled softly. "Hey sleepy head, looks like someone finally woke up." Hikari chuckled. "Thanks for healing me." I thanked Hikari. "Oh? you stayed awake long enough to tell I was healing you?" Hikari asked with surprise. I laughed once I saw his face. "Oh you think I'm funny now?" Hikari said playfully. "And what are you going to do about it?" I playfully teased back. "This!" Hikari said quickly as he tickled me playfully. This then caused me to laugh.

One minute later.

"Hehehe! I... Hehehe... Will... Hehehe... Get you back! Hehehe!" I giggled as I began to tickle him back. This went on for about 10 minutes. We then got up to eat breakfast. After a day of hanging out I walked back to my hut and fell sleep.

It's pretty late at night now and I couldn't fall sleep. "No Hailey, remember what happened last time, you were kidnapped." I said to myself. I tried to go back to sleep. 20 minutes later and I was more awake then I was 20 minutes ago. "Finnnneee... I guess I can call out for Kurai yuoru and meet up with him. Hikari won't like it but Kurai yuoru wanted to explain other things to me. Plus he was possessed by something so he might be nice now... right?" I tried to convince myself.

I arrived at the clearing and called out. "KURAI YUORU IT'S ME HAILEY! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" I yelled out. "Oh you made it!" Kurai yuoru appeared from the darkness. "Yeah I did, What was it that you wanted to 'explain' to me?" I asked Kurai yuoru. "I wanted to say thank you and sorry for what I did and what you did. From what other Pokémon say has been a week or so it was only yesterday to me. I arrived at this forest to make a brand new start for myself. What a start huh?" Kurai yuoru explained. Little did we know Hikari had been following me but he was hiding his presence so that me and Kurai yuoru wouldn't notice him. "I already said I forgive you Kurai yuoru." I assured him. "I understand this wasn't your doing." I assured him again."For helping me I want to teach you how to teleport, use telekinesis to move objects and people around, and hypnosis." Kurai yuoru offered. "I would love to learn how to do those things!" I said as my eyes twinkled with excitement. "Want to start now?" Kurai yuoru asked. My eyes then lit up even more. "Yes! please!" I asked. "Okay then let's begin" Kurai yuoru said.

After half an hour of training. "Hey you're pretty good for a beginner!" Kurai yuoru praised me. "Tha-" I tried to say but Kurai yuoru cut me off. He teleported in front of me and took a hit by some unknown attacker. "Hailey stay back while I handle this!" Kurai yuoru warned me. I then realised who it was as soon as I used my senses. Since Kurai yuoru was possessed when he first encountered Hikari, Kurai yuoru didn't know who Hikari was because of this.

They both aimed a Shadow ball and Solarbeam at each other. Just as they fire I teleported into the middle. This was the first time I was able to successfully teleport. I then took both of the hits.

"HAILEY NO!!!"
