Aura Guardian

[Neko_Misty]

I've noticed not many make a fic of Aura Guardians. Because I think they're ubber cool, I decided to make one. Constructive comments are welcomed. PS. My spelling will be off many times so forgive me in advanced. Enjoy.

"Oh be still for Mew's sake." snapped Raven as she grabbed the Squirtle's shell once more. Bathtime was never easy with Buttercup. Her towel was wet in some places and her bun at the back of her neck was coming loose. She groaned as she let the Squirtle loose to play. She got most of Buttercup clean. She stood and walked over to where her clothes lay. Jean shorts and a blue tee were always her favorite. Just as she was about to unwrap her towel a rustle came from a bush. Her muscles tensed and reached slowly towards a small dagger Thomas always told her to carry. Her muscles tightened and released as she sent the dagger towards the bush. An 'Ooff' came from the bush and she groaned as she reconized it. "Tim, what are you doing here?"

There was a softly clunk and rustle as Tim came from the bush. He handed her the dagger and looked down. "I just wanted to come see what you were doing." She let her long, black hair down and combed a hand through it. She sighed as she put Buttercup back in her pokeball. He turned his back to her, blushing slightly. She quickly got dressed and tapped Tim's shoulder.

"You know better than to come look for me. The woods are off limits to all except Arua Guardians."

"I know. But I was bored." She smiled and patted his cheek. She picked up her gloves and bag, slinging it over her shoulder. She started to walk with Tim close behind. She remembered every inch of the forest. From the broken trree to the rock where she found Tim. Soon they were out of the woods and in front of the castle. she glanced up to the highest tower where the curtains were drawn back. The princess stared out the window, most likely daydreaming, Daniel was right behind her, having his normal unhappy face. Raven sighed and pulled her bag close. The items rattled and a light blue orb fell out. Tim quickly picked it up and handed it to her. She smiled and put it in her bag. "What was that?" asked Tim.

"A memory orb. I use it to store lessons. I can't remember everything in them." Tim nodded. She checked her watch and crused under her breath. "Hey, I'm late. I've got to go. Stay out of trouble,"she said as she took off towards the training grounds. Her steps were quick and graceful. She made it on the football sized field. She bent over, huffing slightly.

"You're late Raven." Came a voice from behind. She straighted quickly and turned around. She bowed lowly and rised up slowly.

"I'm sorry Master Thomas." He tossed her a sword and she caught it by the hilt with ease. She gripped it tightly. Willing her muscles to relax, she took her pose. Her heartbeat quicked and adrenline rushed through her. She studied her oponent. He looked at ease and a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Within seconds he was gone. Her ears listened hard to the sound of his feet lightly hitting the ground. She quickly turned right as a blade tried to go through her back. The rush of metal cut through the air quickly. She held the sword in front of her and blocked an on coming front attack. The clash of metal vibrated through her bones. It gave her strength and she pushed back on his force. He moved only a couple of inches. She turned sharply left and striked at his side. He moved just in time and missed the blow. She grew impatient as the battle continued. She thought of ways to end it. He striked her again and she matched him blow for blow. Sweat covered her as the sun's rays shined on her pale skin. She noticed his blows become weaker and she took one finally sweep at his blade, putting much strength in it, and abled it out of his hand sending it crashing into the ground. She placed the blade on hs necked and smiled. He smiled and clapped.

"You've improved. Been practicing in the forest?"

She lowered her sword. "Yes master." A brief wind lifted her black hair, cooling the back of her neck. He put a hand on her head and smiled.

"You sure you won't cut your hair?" He asked with humor. She smiled back and shook her head. "Well why don't you head towards the Medicine Ward?" Raven bowed slightly and started towards the ward. She hadn't been there in a week. She hoped he would still be there.

She opened the wooden door slowly and stuck her head inside. A young nurse with white hair was sitting at a desk. "Raven, you came to see him right?" She pointed to a young man in bed in the far corner. She nodded and went to stand by his bed. "He should be coming out of it soon," the nurse said as she passed the desk. His face was pale. He looked like death. He had dirty blonde hair along with a beautiful face. Every young in the castle had a crush on him, including herself. She blushed slightly as she moved a piece of hair from his face. He looked so young but she knew he had to be around twenty-two. A small beard started to grow on his face. The clock on the wall started to chime softly. She sighed and turned to walk out. "He gets better everyday." Raven smiled and waved before she left out the door.

There was atleast four hours of sun left. She scanned the grounds and saw Thomas standing against a tree, eyes closed. She stepped quietly in front of him and waved a hand in front of his face. A smile tugged at his mouth, he grabbbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. She winced slightly as he guided her into the forest, eyes closed still. He avoided trees with ease. When they reached a clearing he opened his eyes and released her. She walked forward and faced him. She rubbed her, it was sore but she would be able to fight. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on making the auras solid. She manged to do it and noticed how his was orange right now. She took her pose and waited. This wasn't her favorite training but she didn't complain.

He started to sway and moved quickly towards her. A fist came towards her face. She ducked and tried for a floor sweep. He jumped with ease and landed on a knee. He turned and straightened his foot, making contact wth her stomach. She was sent flying into a tree. Quickly she climbed it and started jumping tree to tree quietly. Once she was behind him, she jumped down. She landed with a soft thunk of her shoes. Just as Thomas was going to turn around, she punched him between the shoulder blades. She hit hard enough so he would fall but not hard enough to do damage. He stumbled foreward and turned to face her. He wasn't going to go down easy. She kicked up into his chest with the heel of her shoe. He fell backwards, landed hard on his butt, and sighed. His and her breath was quick. Blood rushed in her ears. She lowered her fist and stuck out a hand. Thomas grabbed for it and she hosted him up. She looked towards the setting sun and then at her master.

"Either I'm getting old or you're getting better." He rubbed his shoulder and smiled.

"Lets go with you're getting older." She grinned and laughed.

"Alright, don't get smart with me. I can still beat you in eating the most Ramen." He rubbed his stomach and laughed. He wasn't fat and didn't look a day over thrity. His muscles were chisled and his hair was still a sandy color. His eyes were coal black like hers and were always full emotion. It was a joke around the castle that he was her father. It was semi-true. He raised her since he founded her lost in the forest at the age of three. All she could remember her name was Raven. She did take his last name though.

He looked at her and gave a warm smile. "When the time comes, you're the best to replace me." He patted her head and laughed. "I can tell you want to leave now. You're released for today." She bowed and walked off to leave him to his thoughts. She decided to vist the princess. She hoped she wouldn't be in lessons. She walked out of the forest and felt the sun's rays hit her profile. She looked up at the highest and saw the princess wave at her. Raven nodded and stood by a climbing rose ladder. Some were still broken from the last time. She stretched out some sore muscles and just as she was about to climb, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around quickly to stand in front of Daniel. She sighed.

"Don't even think about it," he said with a hint of mence.

"And why not?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips. A smirk tugged at his mouth.

"The gardener is still pissed from the last time. Take the stairs." He pointed towards a door to the tower. The last part was more of a threat. She knew she could take him but decided to amuse him. They were both eighteen but he had a few inches on her. She was confident in herself but liked him enough to not embarass him. She took in his short dark brown hair and chocolate colored eyes. He wore a tuxedo that showed some muscle off. He really wasn't a threat to her.

She smiled and opened the door to the long winding stairway. She climbed one step at a time. Each step echoed in the space. In a few minutes she was standing in the doorway of the princess' room. It was draped in lavender and the sun made it seem mystic. The princess was on the bed looking at a very thick book. She looked up and smiled."Raven, come sit with me." She patted a space beside her. Raven bowed and took the seat. The soft fabric of the bed brushed against her bare legs. She loved the silk in the room.

"What are you reading?" She asked glancing at the title.

"Just a little light reading. Tim is teaching me how to read into the future by different means." She closed the book and looked at her. "I can read your palm if you want. I'm pretty good at it."

"Sure, why not?" Raven gave her right hand palm up to her. She looked deep in thought as she traced the three main lines on Raven's hand. She just nodded and looked up at Raven.

"You have a rather sad palm. Future and past are sad. Your heart will be broken and it will take a while for another to step in. Your creative ideas are being pushed back by your logical thoughts. The only good news is that you suceed at what you do."She let go of Raven's hand and smiled."The good news your palm changes every six months so your's could change for the better."

Raven looked out the window as the sun disappeared beyond sight. "I better go before I get grounded." Raven gave a small smile and headed towards the window.

"Raven, what are you-" The princess' question was cut short as Raven jumped in a diver's manner out the window. She ran quickly to the window and watched Raven gracefully 'flew' through the air. Raven landed on a knee hard. She barely felt it. She looked up to the window and smiled. The princess had a shocked look and Daniel had an annoyed look. She waved and started to sprint across the field. Only Mightyena and Houndoom patorled the place at night. The were well trained and most effective. They hardly noticed her as she ran past them. Finally, she made it to the Guardian section of the castle. Quietly, she slipped in her room and turned on a small light. Three pokemon lay on her bed, snoring happily. She shook her head and quickly dress in her gown.

"Clover, Moon, Ginger, move over for me,"she whispered in to the ears of a pikachu, poochyena, and riolu. They moved over grumbling. She slid in between the warm covers and closed her eyes. She fell asleep as the moon's rays danced on her face and body.
