Bittersweet Circumstances
By: Amethyst Jewels
Note: It's a Raye & Chad Alternate Universe story. If you don't like AU fics, don't read. Also, this story is rated R for a heavy lemon scene & mentions of rape. If you don't like that don't read. And don't flame me saying how I didn't warn you, because I just did!
The usual stands: FLAMES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. So unless you want your email address & flame posted up for all to see, don't flame me! If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!
Also, I don't really know the age difference between Raye & Chad so I'm just putting 3 years between them. And I don't know Chad's last name so I'm giving him one: Hogasha. it means "protector".
And I don't own the songs in this fic. The respective owners will be credited at the end of the last chapter.
Any words in // are song lyrics. Anything in ** are thoughts.

Chapter one: First Encounter
Raye was walking around one of the Mars' royal palace gardens. She breathed in the scents of the flowers and stopped occasionally to pick up a blossom. She then sat down under a willow tree and began petting a few small animals.
Unknown to her, one of the palace knights was watching her from behind a palace wall. Chad was one of the Mars Elite Knights. He had a crush on Raye since he was a cadet. Back then he was 14 and Raye was 11. Chad just thought she was a cute kid. But now that he was 19 and Raye was 16, she had grown into a beautiful young woman. He wanted to get the nerve to talk to her, to say how much he loved her, but he couldn't.
//Love makes no promises
If you only knew, what i've been going through
Waiting and wanting you
Could this be love
How, tell me how will I know
Will my heart make believe it's so
Or can I trust the way i feel
If you could read my mind
You see how hard I've tried
Still I can't decide
Could this be love?//
Chad took a deep breath and slowly walked out from behind his hiding place to were Raye was sitting, trying to ignore the pounding of his heart in his chest. He gripped his sword hilt to control his shaking hand.
The Princess looked up when she heard someone coming. She wasn't alarmed, she thought it was one of the knights coming to tell her that it was time for her to go in for something. Raye looked at Chad when he spoke up.
"My lady...", Chad began nervously.
"Yes?", Raye asked.
Raye was caught off guard when the Knight bowed down and kissed her hand. She never gotten attention like that before. Taking a second glance at him, she realized she didn't know this Knight.
"You must be a new Knight", Raye pointed out.
"I am, kind of", Chad replied.
"Well, what is your name?", Raye asked looking interested.
"It's Chad, my lady", he said politely.
"Well Chad", Raye said. "Are you liked Plato and Aristotle, or do you have a last name?".
Chad laughed lightly at her joke. "Hogasha. Chad Hogasha".
Raye smiled lightly. "Sorry if I don't seem like my normal Princess self, but I'm quite angry today".
"Why is that Princess", Chad asked, sounding concerned.
Raye sighed as she picked at a flower in her hands. "My father is going away on another royal business trip. so I'm in charge of things while he's gone". Raye frowned as she continued. "He's always leaving me alone expecting me to hold everything up! If my mother were alive, he wouldn't be half the man he is today!".
King Lucas was a great ruler, but as a father, he was overly strict and, to Raye, neglecting. He always put work before her and left Raye in the care of nannies growing up. Raye hated that and developed quite a temper over the years. She sometimes snapped at the servants and knights but later apologized. Chad heard about her notorious temper, but he was the type of perosn who wants to see things for himself rather than believe the 3rd person.
"The rumors are true", Chad said.
Raye blinked, the got angry under her skin thinking he meants her temper. "What rumors?", she asked cooly.
"About your beauty", Chad said with a smile.
Raye blushed but scoffed at his complement. "I am not beautiful. Beauty is what Princess Serena and Mina have. Father says I was born too plain.
Chad thought what her father said was terrible. How could someone say that to their own daughter? Chad thought Raye's long, silky raven hair, glittering purple eyes and smooth complexion was intoxicating to the senses.
"Well, I think you're very beautiful", He said, leaving no room for disagreement.
Raye blushed crimson. "Thank you", she said gratefully.
She stood up, dusted of the silk of her red dress then turned back to Chad.
"I must go, nice meeting you!", Raye said with a smile.
Chad kissed her hand once more. "Have a nice day, Princess", Chad replied.
Raye ran up the steps to her room, waved at Chad one more time before closing the door to her room.
*~*~*
"I saw that!", a voice behind Chad said in a sing-song voice.
Chad turned around to face his best friend and fellow Knight, Justin.
"Saw what?", Chad asked trying to play it off like nothing happened.
"You and the Princess talking", Justin answered. "You know it's wrong".
Chad nodded. Royalty and Knights are only supposed to keep professional relationships, but his feelings for Raye weren't content with that. As he walked back to the Knight quarters, he spoke to Justin.
"I know it is, but I can't help how I feel for her", Chad told him.
"Is that why you spy on her? I heard from the servants that she's a brat", Justin said.
Chad ignored that comment as they walked. He then said two words low, so Justin couldn't hear.
"She's perfect..."
//You don't run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don't play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby, that's why you captured my heart
I know sometimes you feel like you don't fit in
And this world doesn't know what you have within
When I look at you, I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere (grow anywhere)
And there's no one I know that can compare
What makes you different, (alright) makes you beautiful (alright)
What's there inside you, (alright) shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I'll ever need
You're all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me//
*~*~*
Raye smiled and rubbed the hand Chad kissed while she laid on her bed. Her heart was pounding the whole time, she thought Chad had heard it. She ran to her room to avoid saying something stupid. Then for the first time in her life, Raye realized something.
She fell in love!
//You're like the sweet mornin' dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
And dedicate my life for you
You're all, you're all I need
You're all I need, oh yeah, yeah
You're all I need to get by
Ooh, you are
Ooh, you are//
