Story Notes:
If you're thinking, 'Where have all the reviews gone!? WTF happened?' well it was due to an error, you see when the change over happened from the old AGNPH to the new one happened, I had to add my Co-authors back on, seeing as it took them off for some unknown reason. Anyway, when that happened, 2 copies of this story were made. I tried to delete the one without co-authors but when I did, it also deleted the other one, leaving me with no copies of blood and love, so yeah, have to re-upload. This is a pain in the ass but I heard that there was a problem with the text in all the older stories that made the text all glitchy, so maybe it was for the best that I re-uploaded it. Fortunatly, 'Blood and love' over at FanFiction isn't fucked up so that should make things easier. Also I've now noticed theres a duplicate 'Blood and love' story floating around, why this has happened I have no idea but I'm gonna try get it deleted. Oh, hears the stats for the story before it got wiped out.Views: 26,000Rating: 4.5Reviews: 59Oh, disclaimer. Yeah, Pokemon, I don't own it and I don't intend to make a profit out of it. This was done just for fun.
A new problem
It was still dark, everybody had gone into their tents, with the exception of Tobias and Reaper who kept watch during the night, and Owen who was now struggling to get to sleep in the heavily armored car.
He had his eyes closed, but he was not asleep, he just couldn't get comfortable enough. He didn't know why, but he felt odd, that's when he heard the sigh of a man in one of the backseats of the car. He quickly opened his eyes, looking into the rear view mirror to see a dark figure, he couldn't make out any of his facial features, except that he had hair.
"Who are you?" Owen quickly questioned without turning around and as his hand reached for his holstered gun on his thigh. As he peered into the rear view mirror, he saw the dark figure lean in a little, that's when he took the opportunity to pull his pistol out of his holster and quickly turn around, but all he saw behind him were empty seats.
"Shit..." Owen silently cursed to himself as he quickly realized what just happened. He holstered his pistol and rubbed his eyes a little, thinking that he was going crazy. He then thought that his hallucinations had faded, but they've recently resurfaced and they've become more frequent.
No reason was put up why they suddenly resurfaced after so long, but he guessed that it had something to do with the break up between himself and Chase. But Owen didn't want to think about that right now, all he wanted to do was get some sleep and continue on with the mission.
The sun started to rise and Kiara awoke first, slowly opening her eyes to find she was resting with her back against Bruce, who's hand was still on her stomach. Her eyes widened as she remembered the night before, and quickly got off Bruce. She could see him starting to wake, she didn't know if she should stick around and confront him about what happened, or just walk away to avoid the awkwardness and embarrassment.
Bruce opened his eyes, but could not see Kiara. He quickly remembered last night and stood up to find himself with a headache. He couldn't help but think what Kiara would say to him when he walked back into camp, not to mention the long ride in that car. He walked back to camp slowly, dreading what Kiara would say.
Richard was sitting with Tera by the burnt out fire when he noticed Kiara walking over to them. "Hey, where did you go with Bruce last night?" he curiously asked.
"Err, we just drank." Kiara replied a little too suspiciously.
Tera smiled as she stated, "Don't drink too much or you'll end up like Bruce."
"Annoying, foul mouthed and incredibly irritating?" Kiara replied as the thought, 'And sexy.' came into mind.
Richard chuckled as he asked, "Why do you two hang around each other if you hate each other?"
"I don't know, I guess it's just entertaining seeing him so angry." Kiara responded with a smile on her face.
Tera giggled before she teased, "You two can't stop yourselves from annoying each other. It's quite cute."
Kiara's ears quickly perked up. 'Cute?' she thought to herself before putting on a convincing confused expression and saying, "W-What makes you say that?"
Tera quickly realized what she had just said aloud, and she didn't mean to say that, but she just thought it and the words came out of her mouth.
"Oh, err... Nothing." Tera replied with an innocent smile on her face.
Richard decided to quickly butt into the conversation before things got awkward. "We should really pack away our stuff now, we'll be moving out soon." he told them.
Owen was now resting his back against one of the doors to the car, looking out to the others as he talked to Rhea. "Any orders from agency?" he tiredly asked.
"No." Rhea replied.
"Oh... How about now?" Owen inquired with a small smile on his face.
"Nope, just relax with your team until your orders arrive." Rhea told him.
"You told me I've got Asher to worry about, and it's been a while since we saw any of Silas' men. It feels like they're just waiting for the right time to take us out. I can't just relax." Owen replied, patting his foot constantly on the ground.
"Sounds like you're stressed, well, I can't blame you. I'd be stressed too in your position, but I still don't see why you're so eager for orders." Rhea replied, with a bit of emphasis at the beginning.
"Because the sooner I get some orders, then the sooner we can get rid of Silas and end this mission." Owen firmly stated. They both knew why he was so eager to finish the mission.
Rhea sighed before telling him, "As soon as I get some orders for you, I'll tell you. Just be careful."
"I always am." Owen finalized as the conversation between them ended and saw Tobias walking over to him.
"Any orders, or are we just standing around waiting to get shot?" Tobais asked, clearly not happy with how the mission was going.
"Nothing yet. We'll move out now and find our next spot, preferably somewhere to the north east." Owen stated, pointing in the general direction.
"Keep moving and setting up camp... Right..." Tobias said disapprovingly.
Owen could see that Tobias didn't like the plan, but he had a feeling he'd piss off a lot more teammates by doing things Tobias' way. "You might not like it and neither do I, but I believe it's our best option." Owen replied, trying to put things in more of a general perspective.
"Fine, just tell me when everyone's ready to move out." Tobias stated, walking away.
Owen sighed and then looked over to Kovick who was now heading towards him. "Hey, we're moving out." Owen told him.
"I heard, that guy didn't look too happy by the way." Kovick replied, referring to Tobias.
"He's not a big talker, but that's not really a bad thing." Owen responded as he thought, 'I wish he would talk less though.'
Kovick chuckled a little before saying, "Have a nice polite conversation with him did you?"
"If by polite, you mean uncomfortable, then yes. You should pack up your stuff, we're heading out now." Owen stated.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Kovick told him before walking off.
A few minutes later, Bruce finally decided to go back to camp. He looked around to see Kiara getting into the car with Richard and Tera. Kovick, Louis and Reaper were just packing their stuff away. 'This is going to fucking suck.' Bruce thought to himself as he began wondering what Kiara would say when he got into the car.
A few minutes later, everyone was now in the car and much to Bruce's surprise, Kiara hadn't said a word to him. She didn't even really look at him. He didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. A few hours passed, and now they were driving in some city. The streets were empty and many of the buildings were boarded up. It was obvious that this was a very bad area to be in.
Bruce looked out of the window and said aloud, "Wow, and I thought Kanto was a shit hole."
Louis then replied, "Kanto isn't that bad; there are some good things about it."
Kovick restrained himself as he thought, 'Yeah, if you think being taunted, beaten or split up from your family just because one of your parents is a Pokemon. Or if you fall in love with one, is a good thing.'
Bruce shook his head. "There's only one reason I moved to Kanto, and it wasn't the polite company consisting of those uptight fuck-wits on every street or the shitty laws they've got over there." he spat as he suddenly realized something. 'I'm thinking too much, I need more booze.' he thought to himself as he began searching around one of his backpacks.
Reaper had what appeared to be a confused look on his face before asking Bruce, "Why did you move to Kanto then?"
"Because..." Bruce began as he took out a bottle of whiskey. "Kanto were the only ones going to war with Silas, everyone else was just sitting on the sidelines. So I moved to Kanto, joined up and started fighting."
Tera then asked Bruce, "Why did you want to fight Silas?"
"I was bored, I needed cash too. Kanto's soldiers were getting slaughtered so there were a few job openings. It was fun anyway, getting good exercise whilst dodging bullets and taking quick showers whenever a guy got his head shot off near me." Bruce replied cheerfully as he drank a little of his whiskey.
Suddenly, Owen hit the breaks as a large off-roading car skidded in front of them. When the car came to a stop, Bruce spilled a little bit of his drink over himself which pissed him off. Richard heard a car skidding to a stop behind them, and instantly knew what was going on.
He glanced at Tera who had a confused look on her face before looking over to Owen. "Drive through them!" Richard shouted as Owen saw men armed with assault rifles wearing plain clothes coming out of the car in front of them.
Owen did as Richard said and put his foot down on the accelerator, making the car speed into the one in front of them as the men fired and scattered moments before the heavily armored car he now drove slammed into the off-roader. The impact shook everyone inside the car, despite being heavily armored, it took some force to budge that other car.
The men with the assault rifles shot at the heavily armored car as it drove away, leaving the off-roader dented and smashed up. Bruce couldn't help but laugh and shout, "Dumb fucks shouldn't get in our way!"
Tera wondered why Bruce liked violence so much. In a way, that reminded her of Kiara.
Bruce soon stopped laughing as he looked out of the window to the side, to see a similar off-roading car charging towards them at great speed down an empty street. Bruce shouted out the first word that came to his mind. "Shit!" he cussed.
The off-roader slammed into the side of the car, hitting its rear causing Owen's car to spin before mounting the sidewalk and hitting a wall with its left side. Owen quickly slammed his foot down on the accelerator and drove back onto the the long road, leaving the attackers behind, for a few seconds.
Tobias didn't talk much, but he felt like he should say something before the entire team gets killed. "Get off this damn road or they will kill us." he calmly commanded Owen.
Owen knew Tobias was right, so he quickly skidded into another street. This time, this street had normal people driving normal cars, but he doubted that would matter to their pursuers.
Bruce looked to Tobias and asked, "Who the fuck are they anyway!"
"How should I know?" Tobias responded with an agitated look on his face.
Kovick looked out of the window that was smashed out to see there were still two black four door cars following them. "They're still after us!" Kovick quickly warned the others.
Bruce looked to Kovick before angrily shouting, "Fucking shoot them then!"
Almost as soon as Bruce said that, bullets could be heard impacting on the car's armor. Kovick shook his head and said, "I'd rather keep my head attached to my neck today!"
"Pussy!" Bruce mocked him as he put his shotgun to one side and grabbed his pistol.
Kiara smirked as she said, "I think that gun is too small to do the job Bruce!"
Bruce turned his head to Kiara and shouted, "Go fuck yourself ice bitch!"
"Why fuck myself when I know you would do that for me?" Kiara replied with a devious grin on her face.
Bruce had a shocked look on his face, fortunately the others were too focused on the people shooting at them. "What the fuck do you mean by that?" Bruce angrily questioned.
Kiara was about to answer but quickly got distracted by the loud sound of Richard's MP5 sub-machine gun spraying bullets out of the window and towards the cars perusing them. Richard leaned back into the car, he didn't know if any of the shots hit any of the people perusing them but at least he was doing something. Moments later, everyone in the car heard a big crash behind them.
Louis quickly looked out to see one of the cars perusing them had crashed into another car, one that didn't belong to the people chasing them. He could only hope that the people inside the other car were still alive.
"Where are the police when we need them!" Louis thought out loud.
Bruce just sighed and insulted, "Don't rely on the police, they're useless fucks!"
Richard didn't bother to point out that both Tera and himself are deputies. "Is now the time to be seriously talking about this?" he replied before Owen sharply turned into another street, almost mounting the side walk again.
Tobais just sat there, thinking what their best option would be. "How many cars are chasing us now?" he asked.
Bruce looked at Tobias and questioned, "I don't know, how about you stick your head out of the window and check?"
Owen looked in his side view mirror. "I can't see any of them... They must have headed back." he replied.
"Hah! Pussies." Bruce spat as he put away his pistol and drank some whiskey.
Owen could hear police sirens closing in on their position, no doubt they were coming to check out the gunshots and the crashes. He didn't think those men that had fired on them were vipers, and that made him think, who else wants them dead.
"This is going to be a long day." Owen began as he stopped the car while the police cars came into view.
He had his eyes closed, but he was not asleep, he just couldn't get comfortable enough. He didn't know why, but he felt odd, that's when he heard the sigh of a man in one of the backseats of the car. He quickly opened his eyes, looking into the rear view mirror to see a dark figure, he couldn't make out any of his facial features, except that he had hair.
