Chapter 3: What a Day

Kago sat in the deepest part of the Beach Cave, where her and Ryo first had a real battle together. Against Koffing and Zubat. She sighed deeply, frustrated that she couldn't stop her tears from falling down her face. All this happened in once single day. It's so strange. First she tried to figure out why she was feeling the way she did, the next figuring out that she was in love with her parnter, and then finding Ryo with Lopunny and when she had planned on acting normal, she had ran away like a terrified Doduo. Why she ended up in the deepest part of the Beach Cave, she wasn't sure. She had easily beaten the pokemon who tried to attack her as she ran with one swift attack and didn't take her long to get here. Maybe it was because it was the closest dungeon, maybe where pokemon wouldn't disturb her, or maybe because her and her partner were here on the first day she met Ryo. She never knew heartbreak was this heard. Jealously was also not a pleasant thing either. Kago lifted a paw to rub her eyes and wipe the tears away but they kept pouring and she just gave up of trying to stop them. She looked down at the water just near her paws as her tears fell into the water like soft rain drops. Why couldn't she stop crying? It almost seemed impossible. Now she knew what they meant when they said 'love hurts' and when it did, it really hurt. She took a deep breath. She knew she had worried her friend and felt bad but she just couldn't take it. She couldn't look at him or she might break down. If only she just didn't have these feelings. Her head snapped up and her eyes slightly widened when she heard a voice calling her name. It was Ryo.

"Kago? Kago!?" Ryo called as he soon appeared from behind her. "Kago! I've been looking everywhere for you!"

Kago swiftly wiped away her tears so he didn't see them and forced a smile on her face but didn't look at him.

"Oh...Ryo sorry about that." she apologized raising her head a bit.

Ryolooked at her then walked over and sat down next to the Ninetales. "What's wrong Kago? And don't say it's nothing because I know you better then that." he said looking at her, silently demanding a explanation of why she ran away like she did.

Kago glanced at him unsure of what to say. She couldn't tell him how she felt. He would only tell her what she knew what he would say. He might say that she was crazy and he would never even think about or he would think she was joking.

"Well...I just didn't want to interrupt you on your day with Lopunny is all." Kago replied mostly truthfully.

Ryo looked at her for a moment then started chuckling. "Oh no I was just asking her something!" he grinned then pulled out a large apple from his bag. It wasn't just any apple, it was a Perfect Apple but this one was bigger then even regular Perfect Apples.

Kago blinked in surprise looking at it then at Ryo curiously silently asking for a explanation. Ryo saw the question in her eyes and grinned at it.

"Well Lopunny told me that she heard of a Perfect Apple deep in Apple Woods. She heard that it was the largest and most delicious apples of them all. So I asked her about it. Then I went all the way to Apple Woods and went searching for it. It took me forever but I found it deep in that Perfect Apple tree. It was the biggest so I guessed that it had to be the one. I went back exhausted then I was thanking Lopunny for the information where you showed up. I was asking you if you would like to share the apple with me and if you would like the first bite but then you said no and ran away. I got worried and followed you. You were acting so strange." Ryo explained to the Ninetales, looking at her with concern.

Kago blinked in surprise. She felt her heart skip a beat for two reasons. One because he was looking at her with those eyes and two is because he went to all that trouble to just share with her. Not Lopunny but her. She knew that he didn't mean it that way but she felt a bit more confident.

"So what is the real reason why you ran away? The truth this time Miss Kago." Ryo said with a grin but sternly as he looked at her.

Kago shuffled her paws, nervous and for the first time afraid. She didn't know what to do and with that gaze burning into her just made her more nervous and pressured. Her heart started beating faster as she looked at her paws starting to mumble things of nonsense. Ryo huffed then grabbed her face with his paws and forced her head to him so she was looking at him in the eye.

"Kago." Ryo said calmly but also icy with sternness.

Kago shook and blushed and she couldn't take it anymore. "Because I love you!" she blurted out loudly.

Ryo's eyes widened and his jaw dropped almost all the way to the floor, to her anyway. He let her go and she quickly looked down back to her paws, blushing madly.

"I was acting weird all day because I have been feeling strange feelings toward you and I couldn't figure them out. So I wanted to be alone on our day off and I'm sorry I hurt you but I couldn't face you then. I went to the beach and after thinking it through. I realized I loved you but I know you don't feel the same so I decided to keep it to myself. When I went into Treasure Town to talk spend time with you, I saw you with Lopunny. I thought that since you two were the same body type and she had a crush on you and she was beautiful, you would be happy with her. So then I got jealous and I couldn't face you so I ran away like a scared Rattata and ended up here." Kago explained feeling tears in her eyes again as she looked at the ground. Afraid to look at his reaction that was probably disgust.

Kago then felt a pair of paws cup her face and force her head to look towards Ryo who looked into her eyes with a slight kind smile. Her eyes moved afraid and confused as she looked into his soft caring orbs of rusty red. Ryo smiled looking at her.

"Well....the thing is...I kinda feel the same way....for a long time now." Ryo said quietly as he felt his timid self kick in but he shook his head determinedly. He was no longer his timid self from way back when he was a Riolu. He had to say this.

"Kago...I love you too....maybe I even had a crush on you when you helped me get my Relic Fragment from Koffing and Zubat. But I never thought you felt the same. Lopunny might be beautiful, but you are the most beautiful pokemon that I have ever laid eyes on since the day I met you. No one compared to you. You are brave, caring, kind, fun loving, and full of life and adventure. I was timid and a coward but you helped me to be brave and you always supported me no matter what, even when I was useless. So no, if it's anyone I love it is you, Kago." Ryo said to her looking into her crimson eyes.

Kago's eyes widened in surprise at his speech then she gasped in shock at what he did next. Ryo had placed his lips on hers in a awkward kiss. She blinked in surprise and she felt that she could almost melt from it. She closed her eyes and kissed her partner in return. When did he become so bold? When a Riolu, she never thought he would be as this but in some way she was glad he was now. She almost whinned when he pulled away from her and she looked at his blushing face. Kago chuckled at him, seeing him blush was cuter and a bit funny. Ryo grinned embarrassed, rubbing the back of his head. Ryo smiled at her as she nuzzled his chest gently.

"So....ready to share that apple?" asked Ryo with a smile.

Kago smiled and chuckled saying 'of course' as she looked at him. This day was one of the strangest days of her life, her saddest day of her life, and also her happiest day of her life.
