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.
There's a new deputy in town.
It had been an hour since leaving the police station and Richard, Tera and the Zangoose were now sitting on a grassy hill just out side of the town. The view was amazing, from up there they could see just about everything surrounding the town. Richard was lying on the grass, resting. Tera and the Zangoose were tanking to each other, Richard was happy to see that they were becoming fast friends. Another hour passed and all three of them were walking around town, Richard had booked the hotel room that they stayed in the previous night whilst doing so. Another hour passed, the three of them were now walking around the stores in town, Richard figured now would be a good time to buy some new clothes. Another hour passed and Richard had found some clothes that suit him but he would have to wait to get back to the hotel to put them on. Tera turned to Richard. "Richard, what did you do for fun in your clan?"
He guessed that was what here and the Zangoose were talking about. "Well we played card games, black jack and poker mostly. After missions Carter would usually get us a big keg of beer then we played drinking games, I was always good at those." Richard chuckled to himself slightly. "When we weren't doing those things then we usually just waited for the next mission and relaxed as much as possible. The calm before the shit storm Carter called it."
Tera was a little confused "How can you relax while waiting for a mission that's likely to kill you?" Tera asked.
Richard glanced over to her "It's hard at first but if you live long enough then you get used to it. It's even easier to get used to if you don't care about dying."
Tera looked at Richard "And you didn't care about dying?"
"No. I would fight for my life but only to take down the person who's trying to kill me."
Tera was surprised by this, that's when she noticed something. She noticed that she saw a lot of emotions in Richards eyes and his aura, but she never saw fear in them. Tera went back to talking to the Zangoose besides her. Another hour passed and Richard, Tera and the Zangoose were now all hungry. Richard bought them all a big meal at the local restaurant which then left them with 300 pokedollers. 3 more hours of exploring the town had passed, Richard had noticed Tera yawn a little.
"Are you sleepy?" Richard asked, hoping to lie down on a nice warm bed right after taking a shower.
"Just a little." Another yawn escaped her before she could even finish her sentence which made Richard chuckle. "Come on, lets get back to the hotel." He said. Whilst walking back to the hotel Richard had noticed that it had gotten very cold, he then remembered that it was nearly winter.
Richard, Tera and the Zangoose reached the hotel room within a few minutes. Tera and the Zangoose headed over for the beds the slept in the previous night and pulled the covers over themselves to keep them warm.
Richard decided to go to wash him self before he went to bed, so he headed for the bathroom. As soon as the door to the bathroom closed, the Zangoose turned to talk to Tera. There was just one question that she wanted to ask but wasn't sure whether to ask it, she finally decided to ask it.
"Tera, I noticed that you and Richard are close but... do you like him as more than a friend?"
The question took Tera by surprise, she didn't think anybody would notice. She did care for Richard as more than a friend, she found everything about him so interesting. She admired his strong will, determination and strength. When he's around her, he makes her feel safe. Part of her just thinks that she's just attracted to him but deep inside of her she knew she felt something more for him, she loved him. Tera looked at the Zangoose and gave her response "... Yes, I do."
The Zangoose smiled "Does he know you like him like that?"
"I don't think he does." Tera sighed into her pillow.
The Zangoose thought that the human and the Lucario would make a great couple. "Do you think he likes you as more than a friend?" the Zangoose asked.
Tera really wasn't sure, she remembered the time when Richard stared at her when she first washed her fur in the shower but that wasn't really enough to say that he liked her in that way. "I'm not sure. What do you think?" Tera replied shyly.
The Zangoose's smile grew. "I think he does."
meanwhile.
Richard had finished his shower and went to put his same old green shirt and combat trousers, he decided to wear those for the night and in the morning he would change into his new clothes. He went over to the bathroom sink and looked into the mirror just above it, he stared at him self in the mirror. Richard thought back to one of his missions and remembered slicing a man's neck with long sharp shard of a broken mirror and then using that same shard to look around a corner to spot hostiles. He thought about that moment untill he couldn't look at him self anymore, he knew he did what he had to but he also knew that there was always a better way. Richard left the bathroom, walked over to his bed and lay down on it. He had been walking all around town for a good couple of hours, so he enjoyed the feeling of the soft bed all the more.
Tera had stopped talking to the Zangoose right after Richard walked into the room, she knew that he couldn't hear what they were saying but she still didn't feel like talking.
1 hour later.
Richard looked around him, he was near the cave where he first met Tera. He had no idea how he got there but didn't have much time to think about it as he saw Tera walking towards him.
"Tera, how did we get here?" Richard confusedly asked.
Tera said nothing, she only drew closer to Richard, she had a smile on her face. Richard was confused as hell. "Tera... can you hear me?"
Again, nothing. Tera and Richard were now inches apart.
"Tera, please... What's goi-" Richard was cut off by Tera who pushed her lips to Richard's lips. Richard didn't resist, he didn't want to. He gently placed his hands around her hips, enjoying the kiss, enjoying how right it felt, he never wanted it to end.
A loud gunshot sounded behind Richard, he spun around and saw the sick fucker that killed Carter. He had a hunting rifle and by the looks of things his guts were still inside him. Richard reached for the knife in his boot but found nothing, he saw the fucker's rifle aiming at Tera. He had already taken his best and only friend away from him and he wasn't about to let him take away the only person he loves. Richard positioned himself between Tera and the man, he closed his eyes and waited for the bullet to come... But it never came.
Richard slowly opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of the hotel room. It was just a dream. Richard slowly raised him self and soon sat upright in his bed, he rubbed his eyes and looked over to Tera's bed. She was in it, safe and sleeping. Richard looked at her, she was the most beautiful thing that Richard had seen in his life, that's when he knew that he was more than attracted to her... He loves her.
Richard began to slowly lower himself back onto the bed and closed his eyes to try and get back to sleep, but he had a lot to think about.
It was now 11 o'clock in the morning and they were now all awake. Richard was now in his new clothes, a black shirt with a gold eagle on the front of it and combat trousers much like the ones he had already but without the mud stains. Richard had decided to take them all to the cafe again, it seemed like they were becoming regulars at that place. Tera, Richard and the Zangoose were all eating, Richard thought back to when Tera asked what he did for fun when he was a mercenary and realized that he didn't ask what she did for fun.
"Tera, what did you do for fun back in your clan?" Richard inquired.
Tera raised her head and said, "Well sparring matches were usually organized for fun, I also liked swimming."
Richard was a very good swimmer but he just couldn't hold his breath underwater. Tera looked at Richard. "Can you swim?" She asked.
"Yes, very well in fact." He replied.
"Can we swim together?" Tera asked.
Richard smiled and said, "I don't see why not."
Tera smiled back at Richard. A few minutes later they had all finished their food and payed the bill. Richard now headed over to the police station after remembering Ethan asking him to drop by. Richard entered the reception room of the police station and saw Ethan sitting behind the front desk.
Ethan stood up after seeing Richard enter. "Ah, there you are. I'm glad you could make it." Ethan said whilst moving around the side of the desk to approach Richard. "Richard, would you like to become my deputy?" Ethan said, wasting no time.
Richard was surprised, he thought that being a deputy took some kind of really long study process or something. Richard seriously thought about it before giving his answer, in the end the pro's outweighed the con's so he said, "Yes, I would."
Ethan smiled "Great, but you are going to have to see Cleaves for a medical examination and after that you will have to run our assault course."
Richard smiled, it sounded too easy to him. "That's fine, I can do that."
Ethan didn't doubt him.
1 hour later.
Richard had been examined by Cleaves and was given the OK to run the course. Ethan, Tera and the Zangoose were amazed by the speed at which he sprinted through the course, every obstacle in his way he passed with no trouble. Richard walked over to the group, panting,
"So ... how did I do?" Richard asked, still breathing in deeply.
"Well you broke something that belonged to me, a record. You passed in 1 minute 3 seconds." Ethan replied.
Richard smiled "What's next then?" He asked.
"I make you a deputy." Ethan said.
Richard just stood there and smiled. First he was a gang member, then a mercenary and now he's going to become a deputy. Richard looked at Tera who was clearly happy for him... 'Maybe being a deputy wouldn't be so bad.' Richard thought to himself.
"So, are you ready to make it official?" Ethan asked Richard.
The more he thought about becoming a deputy, the more he wanted to do it. Richard replied with a simple, "Yes."
He guessed that was what here and the Zangoose were talking about. "Well we played card games, black jack and poker mostly. After missions Carter would usually get us a big keg of beer then we played drinking games, I was always good at those." Richard chuckled to himself slightly.
