Arranged
Summary: The marriage was nothing they wanted. All they could do was try to put up with each other. GuriPura. MangaCavalier. AU
"Oi, you!" Ruby turned his head towards the voice. He could tell that she had a southern accent and to him, it was adorable! Shock and fear ran up his spine the moment he saw who it belonged to. Oh fu-
"Yes, person I have never met before?" he coughed at his pathetic attempt. He knew that sapphire-eyed girl from his past, back when he was more masculine. And when she was more feminine, never mind the roles were reversed now. He looked to his side, trying to hide the blush that was quickly forming on his cheeks. The shorts she was wearing, was a little too short now that he noticed it.
Yes, he was extremely feminine now. But that didn't mean that he wasn't a man., especially a man with needs.
"You're Ruby, right?" She asked, her tone dripping with venom. Ruby flinched slightly at the tone but nodded any way so that he won't get killed. He moved to his left to let Sapphire sit on the chair beside him and was shocked when Sapphire sat like a boy.
"Do you 'member me?" she pointed to herself. Ruby let his tongue lick his lips first before shaking his head. He bit his tongue when it returned into his mouth as Sapphire stared his down.
"You really don't remember me?" Sapphire widened her eyes as Ruby nodded his head, telling her that he had no idea who she was. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes, threatening to spill any second. When Ruby saw that, he felt like changing his mind. Maybe tell the truth to his childhood friend. No, he commanded himself, I need to remember the reason I moved...
"Are you sure?" Sapphire's voice sounded quieter, not like her confident self anymore. Ruby felt a lump begin to grow in his throat, but nodded without much thought. Ruby eyes clashed with sapphire eyes, meeting one another in the middle. Sapphire looked into his eyes to see what emotion he was showing, but it just looked empty to her. Someone without a soul it seemed. Ruby looked at Sapphire, his whole being feeling rigid. He could almost count every eyelash with how close they were.
A loud smack echoed throughout the room, followed by the sounds of some girl crying. Ruby stood with his head looking down in shame. He dragged the part of his hat that was the closest to his head and pulled it down, covering his eyes that were beginning to fill with tears themselves.
"I'm sorry," he murmured when Sapphire was out of hearing range.
Sapphire ran all the way to Platina's room, only to find the door locked. Her fist pounded at the grey door, almost as if she was trying to break it.
"You can go to your room in this mansion," Platina gave her that frank reply. Sapphire bowed her head before running to the guest room that Platina offered to be Sapphire's.
She jumped on to a pile of leaves that acted as her bed. It was rare for her to cry. When she did, it was because of something tragic. She counted as her childhood friend not remembering her tragic enough for her to cry over.
Blue watched Sapphire run out of the kitchen, tears flying behind her. A sigh escaped Blue's lips. She felt conflicted between staying with Red and finding out how she knew him, or running after Sapphire and comforting her. Right now, both of the choices seemed very tempting. Red, seeing Blue's conflicted face, told her to go after Sapphire and that they could talk later.
Blue blushed and muttered an airy 'thank you' to Red before gathering her girls and running upstairs. MeiRosa felt free after sitting next to Black and White for so long and hearing them talk about a movie. White felt rather disappointed at the moment as it was a rare time seeing Black so serious, but discarded the thought with only Sapphire in her mind.
In the hallway, Blue stopped and turned to face the younger girls, "You two go talk to Sapphire, alright? I really need to speak to Platina." The other two nodded and sprinted up the stairs. Blue looked up at the staircase and gulped. It's time, huh?
"Platina, you okay?" Blue knocked on the door softly. Instead of replying to Blue's question, Platina opened her bedroom door. Blue bit her bottom lip when she saw Platina. Guilt heaved her heart as she saw the state Platina was in. Platina was then enveloped in a bear hug.
"Would you like to talk about it?" Blue asked in a motherly voice. She could feel Platina shake her head. The older girl nodded and went into Platina's room, the younger girl following her in.
After a waiting a few moments for Platina to stop sobbing, Blue asked her with worry, "Is it him?"
"I don't want to talk about it," Platina said and looked away from Blue. Blue nodded and said, "I'll let the guys out." Without waiting for a response, Blue walked out and left Platina alone so the both of them could think.
"Sapphire! Sapphire!" MeiRosa shouted in the hallways while White walked in front, trying to find Sapphire's bedroom's door.
"Found it!" White called out to MeiRosa with glee. The two Stones girl walked into the room without knocking, only to find a wrecked Sapphire sitting on her bed.
"Are you okay?" White walked over to Sapphire, trying to comfort her.
"He doesn't remember me!" Sapphire wailed loudly. MeiRosa just stood at the door, confused as to what to do.
"It's just fate playing mind games on you, I'm sure he still knows you."
Sapphire shook her head, trying to tell White to leave her alone, "You should be going home now. School starts tomorrow."
"The boys should be gone now," MeiRosa finally said something for the past five minutes. "We'll leave you alone, but if you don't show up tomorrow, we will come looking for you."
Sapphire nodded in understanding, and with a simple hand motion, shooed them away. White and MeiRosa carefully closed the door behind them and let miniature tears of their own slip from their eyes.
"I feel so sorry for her, don' you?"
"Yeah..." MeiRosa trailed off. "School is tomorrow, let's go home and start preparing, okay?"
White nodded her head and smiled. When the two of them were walking off, White could not help but look behind her and stared off into the distance. Well, you can't have everything going right; fate doesn't work like that...
A/N: Sorry for this late chapter! I had writer's block in the middle of the ending, as evident by my laziness at the end. So, I decided to fill the empty spots with speech. So far, I've been jumping in and out of other fandoms lately so I think I have a good reason I won't be updating this as much. Don't worry, I will never abandon this.
Review Replies:
ILuvPkemn: Well, I don't think the 'innocent, little girl' image for her would fit a jealous maybe ex-girlfriend/mistress(I have not thought about it yet). And I don't just like any pairing for the both of them, Penguin/KenHika and MangaCavalier/GuriPura (though, I am starting to get into Cavalier/ShigeHika since I'm writing this story). Don't worry about the age gap (which is four years by the way [I have no life]). And as I said in my review to your story, this chapter is dedicated to you my faithful side-kick! (unless you don't feel comfortable being my side-kick...)
a random reader: Nah, don't worry about that. I'm late for everything that is not on the internet. And well... RuSa is not leaning towards the drama way. I'm not good with conflict... Yes, Yellow did just spit at Platina. And their cat fight won't happen until Yellow can't control her angry any more and goes completely bat s*** crazy on Platina, which I'm not sure will be when... Blue's past, let's just say it's a mystery waiting to be solved by the right person.
XxWhiteChanX: Thanks for your compliment. I love ReBuru(Lucky) too, and if you have time to waste on videos, check out AnApatheticSeal, she makes amazing videos! But her previous account has more (LoveMeLoveHer). And I know right, KuroShiro(Agency) is so cute! And I always pair the protagonist with their counterpart, that's why I adore BurningLeaf.
Yeah, maybe Green will keep her as a mistress or something... Or maybe go and elope with her, he's a married man now. And I hope you Viridian cause that's who I'm pairing her up with. I'll feel bad if she's alone in the end, even if I hate her. And finally someone answered my question! I'll hug you but I don't want to make you feel awkward.
Well... I don't have a set OTP because I can jump from fandom to fandom pretty quickly (like; I can like Pokemon one week and the next I can abandon all Pokemon and go all Sonic the Hedgehog). But my ultimate OTP is from another game (check out Dead or Alive if you want. My OTP is there). Currently my OTP list is like this:
1. HayateHelena (Dead or Alive)
2. TailsCream (Sonic)
3. KnucklesRouge (Sonic)
4. EliotKokoro (Dead or Alive)
5. ManagCavalier (Pokemon)
It's sad how there's only one Pokemon pairing here despite the fact that I love Pokemon way more than those other games... That's the reason I don't like Yellow. She can mess with every pairing and get away with it scot free. I find it annoying. And when Blue messes with ReLe(Special), people start bashing on her. I once had an argument that lasted more than one hour about why Yellow can mess up everything and get away with it, but Blue can't. I was on Blue's side, she was on Yellow's side.
