Me: A couple of one-shots, dedicated to hard good-byes, involving the pairing of Older RukaXCrow.
Logan: Aw. But Older RukaXCrow? Where did you come up with that pairing?
Me: No idea really. I just thought it would be cute. I mean, they pair Ruka up with Yusei right? So why not Crow? Besides, he doesn't even have a current love interest in the series or manga!
Aki: Ok, Bebe doesn't own the quotes used, or YuGiOh 5D's.
Ruka stood at the edge of the legendary bridge, watching the birds fly into the distant sunset below. She sighed, as she watched the boats go out over the harbour, peace finally restored to New Domino City after a hard battle just a few years before. The teal haired girl was now eighteen years old, no longer the youthful child that fought so hard to hold back the tears, she was now a mature adult.
"It's all over, huh?" She silently whispered to herself. She remembered the hardships she went through, the losses, the funny times, the hard times, they always fought side by side.
She and her twin, Rua, were side by side. They would be forever. They were both still breathing, still alive, however, there comes a time when they must say goodbye. A small, silent tear was shed for the loss of her first love, and the bad guys, who she pitied. They were trying to protect the future, so much, it come at the cost of their lives.
Sherry had been lost to the madness, no matter how much Yusei and Aki had tried to convince her, she just wanted to be with her parents eternally. However, they still believed she would come back one day. She did mention she had some soul searching to do, so she and Yusei clung onto that last hope she would come back.
She smiled, as she sat down on the legendary start of the bridge, and watched out over the city. She had grown her hair a little past her shoulders, and no longer wore the childish pigtails she wore when she was eleven years old, just wearing a small side ponytail. Her twin, Rua, had gone to America to study pro-league dueling, but came back every now and then.
It had been heartbreaking when he had left. The liquid form of transparent crystals streamed out of her eyes, as she announced she was so happy he was following his dreams and hearts desire, but she begged him to come back, just for a day and visit her. He then gave her a warm embrace, and promised he would. It had been two years since that day, and he had kept his promise.
A slight gust of wind then blew past her face, causing her to shiver slightly. She silently cursed herself, she forgot her jacket back at her apartment. She face palmed her forehead softly, muttering quietly about how she was becoming the replacement for her forgetful brother back here, and shuddered at the thought of her cross-dressing as Rua.
"Damn...it's cold..." She mused quietly. She then felt a warm material be draped over her shoulders. She glanced up, to see a twenty five year old Crow, smiling down at her. She returned the gesture, smiling back at him, as he placed himself beside her.
"What you up to then?" Crow asked, with his usual optimistic attitude kicking into gear. Ruka smiled, but blushed slightly. Over the past two years, since Rua had left, she began to have other feelings for her older-brother figure. She hadn't figured them out yet, but she was sure, it wasn't sisterly love.
"Just reminising, I guess." She replied, causing Crow to grin. She giggled a little, then looked at the water below her. It reflected them both, how should I put it... perfectly. Two figures of opposite genders, sitting side by side, one a girl with tealed hair with a male jacket over her, and another, of a boy, with wild ginger hair, who had no jacket on, but smiling like a complete goof whilst oblivious to the teal haired girls blushing.
"Aren't you a little young to be thinking about the past like that? Wait till your an oldie!" He said cheerfully, as he ruffled the eighteen year olds teal hair. She looked down, a little sad. Crow bought out his more serious side, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Luccanio, huh?" She tensed a little at his name. Crow softened a little at her sudden tension, although for some strange and unknown reason, it bothered him a little too.
"Y-yeah..." She stammered, small tears begging to form in her golden headlights. She then arose from her current seating position, and turned away from the ginger haired black-feathered duelist, and toward the sun as if to hide her tears from him. He grinned softly, as he did the same, but turned her towards him.
"I miss both of them Crow. Too much, why did we have to say good-bye?" Ruka stammered, as a massice explosion of waterworks that had been held within her for the past two years, had just suddenly burst. Crow then placed an un-gloved hand to her cheek, slowly carressing it. In her echoeing mind, she gasped eternally, in a response to this sweet and caring gesture.
"That's the funny thing about good-byes Ruka..." He began, causing her to tilt her head in pure curiousity, "It is the end of something simple and the beginning of everything else." He gave the most precious advice the teal haired teen had needed to hear for a long time. He then placed an arm around her shoulder, and the both smiled, knowing a true goodbye, is the end of something simple, and the start of something totally new in it's place.
Me: Hopefully that was okay! I love this pairing now, but remember, Ruka is EIGHTEEN, and Crow is TWENTY-FIVE. Age is just a number! Unless it's an eight year old and a fourty-seven year old. Then you would be a little suspicious.
Aki: This was actually an okay one-shot.
Logan: Yeah.
Me: Awesome! I got positive reviews from these two! And this is the start of a new collection!
Logan: Okay, please review.
