Chapter 5: I'll Go Wherever You Go

(Streets of Homeworld; No one's POV)

"Time to say bye bye to Ruby" he was about to punch the gem but was stopped by someone. That someone was Sapphire. She held her dad's hand to stop him from breaking Ruby's gem.

"Dad don't. Its not worth it. Let's stop this. This is pointless. You won't gain anything from destroying a lost gem. All we can do is help him. C'mon dad" she hugged her dad as her dad lowered his fists as tears flowed out his eyes.

"You're right dear. I'm not like this. I just thought this gem did something to you and I won't forgive that. I love you too much dear" he slowly stood up and released Ruby. She looked up and held her dad's hands.

"Dad, I love you too but what you were about to do was not like you. Ruby didn't have to do anything with what happened to me. Can we just go home now? We are all beat up" Sapphire said as his dad nodded in agreement. He grabbed Sapphire's wrist and walked towards the direction of their home but Sapphire removed the grip slowly.

"We can't leave him here dad. He's beat up. We need to bring him with us and care for him 'til he's all better" she said but as seen in his dad's eyes, he wasn't on the same page as Sapphire.

"Are you insane?! Didn't you see the chaos he caused back home? We don't have any use for him. Just leave hi..." he said but was once stopped by Sapphire. He looked at Sapphire then to Ruby then back to Sapphire as she held her dad's hands.

"Dad, not all gems are bad. Some of them are good. We are the good gems and I learned that from you. A gem needs our help so we need to help don't we?" she said then smiled at her dad while moving away and helping Ruby up.

"My dad really packed a punch huh? I can't believe you caught all the blows" she said to Ruby while giggling. Ruby can't help but to smile as she looked at Sapphire. Her dad carried Ruby on his back and they all went back home.

(Ruby's POV)

Man, this girl really is something. When she got me in trouble, all I can feel is rage. But now, everything changed as if nothing happened. All of it faded in an instant. Is it because of her kindness? Or is it because of her care towards other? I don't what it is but I'm glad I met her. Not totally, but atleast I know her name and how she treats everyone. I looked at her and her smile slowly faded. That was quite unusual because she was smiling earlier at me and at her dad. Is there something wrong? Am I the one wrong? I'll just ask later. I still can't move any of my muscles. This guy is something. He beat me up good. I haven't faced anyone like him before. I want to fight him someday again, but not today. Still, Sapphire is still bugging me. I can't stop thinking about her. Its like... I'm... Falling...

(Sapphire's POV)

I looked at Ruby and he is asleep. I knew he wouldn't stand a chance against him. He's too powerful. Anyone who tries always thinks twice, even thrice before engaging into battle with him. That's why he's the head officer.

"Hey Sapphire, what are we going to do with this?" said dad as he pointed to his back where Ruby was lying down. I know what I'm about to say will shock him but now is not the right time to tell him. He's smart. Really smart. I know he knows I have something planned out with Ruby. But now really isn't the right time.

"No isn't the right time dad. I want him to be awake when I tell what will happen. Let's just get home first" then I smiled at my dad. We walked towards home while talking and laughing occasionally because we didn't want to wake up Ruby. Hours passed by and we arrived at home. I know I forgot to get our house fixed but somehow it was fixed. Maybe someone saw that it was destroyed so they just fixed it. Well, we'll just pay for it when the receipt comes. My dad put Ruby down the sofa then I went to my room to contemplate what just happened.

(The next day when Ruby is awake; No one's POV)

Sapphire went out of her room and saw that Ruby was awake. She walked and sat beside Ruby.

"So, how're you feeling?" she said and then smiled at Ruby.

"A lot better thanks to you" he replied and blushed when he looked at Sapphire. He prevented eye contact so that he won't blush more.

"That's good to hear" she looked away and saw her dad walk down from upstairs.

"I see you are awake. How're you?" the officer said as he looked at Ruby with his arms crossed.

"Feeling a lot better sir thanks to you and Sapphire" he replied.

"Thank my daughter because if she wasn't there, you wouldn't be here" the officer said as he came near Ruby.

"I already did, sir. It is very much appreciated" he said as he looked at Sapphire. His heart beat fast and his cheeks became red. He got up and sat beside Sapphire.

"Good to hear. So, Sapphire, what were you planning on doing to Ruby? I asked you earlier and you said we have to wait when Ruby is awake. So, care to share us your idea?" the officer said to Sapphire as he let out a devilish grin as if trying to send a message to Sapphire to do something bad to Ruby.

"I want him to be my husband" she replied then stood up and walked to the kitchen. The face of her dad dropped and he looked at Ruby having the same reaction. They were both surprised about what Sapphire said. Ruby's cheeks became more red than before. His heart was pounding faster than before and he felt like he was on top of Homeworld. In the meantime, her dad rushed into the kitchen but stopped as Sapphire was going back to the living room.

"I was kidding guys, relax" as she giggled a little bit louder. Her dad released a huge sigh and felt like he was about to faint due to the panic he felt earlier. In the meantime, Ruby's face fell flat but he was still red. He fell onto the sofa and covered his eyes with his arm.

"Hey Ruby listen to what I'm about to say. I want you to be my servant. And yes you heard me right, I want you to be my servant!" she said as her volume kept on growing per word she said. The officer and Ruby looked at each other then towards Sapphire with confusion.

"Honey you can't be serious with this right? This isn't what you want right?" he said towards Sapphire but he knew she was serious. "Very well then. I'll let you have what you want. But if Ruby betrays you, I won't hesitate on ending him got it dear?" he said as he kissed Sapphire's forehead.

"Wait! Don't I have a say on this?! I don't want this! This wasn't in the deal! You were supposed to bring me to jail!" Ruby stood up but fell down because he was still hurt.

"Ruby" said Sapphire, "This is what's right. Eventually you'll thank me someday trust me. Who knows, I might be your girl" she turned back and headed to her room.

Ruby's face became red again and couldn't believe what was happening. He doesn't know if it was a dream, a beautiful one. Or a nightmare. But for that moment, it was a dream. The best dream he could ever have.

"Hey kid. Take care of my daughter well. Don't do anything cheeky of I'll seriously kick your butt got it?!" said the officer with a threatening voice.

"I promise sir. I'll go wherever she goes" Ruby said firmly.
