The Matchmaker

come to the holy land Heuye

Rui and Ange helped with the scaffold getting it ready for the festival as they met some kids that heuye knew Rui seemed to be deep in thought

'Something feels...different...why does this pregnancy feel like I've got multiple souls in me' Rui thought to herself heuye noticed and nudged her shoulder

"Huh" Rui exclaimed as heuye looked at her concerned "are you alright you spaced out for a bit" he said "huh...oh yeah I'm fine" Rui said with a slight blush on her face

That night...

Rui and Ange were brought to Heuye's residence "is it ok for you to invite us in" Ange said as Rui looked around "of course it's my thanks for you helping me out" heuye said

"I'll help too" Rui and Ange said in unison as if they were twins which made heuye chuckle "then hand me that small bottle there" heuye said glancing at a bottle on a high shelf

Rui was short so she couldn't reach it which made her dread "if only I were taller" Rui said depressed "it's ok I'll get it Rui" Ange said patting her shoulder gently

"Lachen" Ange said as Rui was curious "it's the seasoning I'll put in this dish" heuye said "it's also called wing berry it fits you two perfectly" heuye said Rui and Ange both look at him confused

Dinner time...

Rui looked at the appetizing dish but...her stomach didn't want to agree with her "You need to eat something Rui" Ange said worried

"It seems like my stomach has other idea's" Rui said feeling nauseated "are you ok..." heuye said "I'm just not hungry right now I'm sorry" Rui said sadly

Vito noticed the tense atmosphere "you fool your still far too becoming an adult" Vito said making heuye irritated "you..." heuye said annoyed

"Excuse me I need to step out for a moment...I'm not feeling very well" Rui said as she Excused herself from the dining room table and went outside for some fresh air

Heuye's pov

I was looking at the door which Rui had left and then turned to Ange "hey...is she sick...I've seen that pained look on her face earlier as well" I said

"You fool don't you know when to keep quiet" gramps said "oye" I said annoyed "she's...well...I'm not really sure how to explain the situation" Ange said

I went out to find Rui who was leaning against a tree then I thought of an idea I grabbed her hand "hey come with me" I said as I dragged her to my parents graves

"The weather here is unpredictable...it was really a shame" I said Rui frowned and looked to the ground "I know how you feel...my mother died just last year" Rui said

"But...I know...that no matter where I am...her spirit is always watching over me and my siblings" Rui said with a gentle tone in her voice

Rui's pov

Then I frowned "there's a reason why me and Ange are here" I said getting Heuye's attention "you...are destined to be a guardian of Wind in the holy land of seijuu" I said

"Eh" heuye said taken aback then Ange took over "you have the power to govern the wind sacrea...we'd like you to come to the holy land to become the wind guardian" Ange said

I knew he didn't like the idea of leaving his hometown and it hurt me deeply but then Vito spoke of a dream about the queen of seijuu speaking about the legendary Ètoile and his soulmate

3rd person pov

"Soulmate?" Heuye said glancing at Rui wide eyed Rui didn't like that look of shock on his face it scared her...she was scared of being rejected by one of her soulmates

The day of the festival came...

But there was suddenly a storm that Vito's boat got caught in Vito threw the rope to heuye at the dock the sight of the ocean terrified Rui

Rui had a very terrible experience one day when she fell off the boat of her father's and she sunk not knowing how to swim

Rui felt her anxiety grow as heuye grabbed hold of the rope along with Ange and the kids while Rui stared in fright

"No...not again" Rui muttered to herself as Vito suddenly cut the rope holding the boat causing heuye to gasp "STOOOOP" Rui shouted as a bright light shined from her and Ange

The wind was calming down and Rui went on all fours feeling weak and fell to her side causing heuye and ange to shout her name in worry

At the seijuu kingdom...

Heuye was now in the throne room with Rachel as acting queen of seijuu "heuye come forth" Rachel said as heuye walked forward and kneeled

"In place of the queen, I now hold seijuu universe's guardian appointment ceremony...heuye I give you your new title guardian of the wind of this universe" Rachel said

"Yes...I, as the guardian of Wind, pledge to offer my body and my loyalty to the queen...forever" heuye said as a magic aura was lifted

Later...

Heuye walked towards a door and peeked inside to see that Rui was sleeping peacefully 'I wish I knew what was wrong with her...maybe then I could find out how to help her recover' heuye thought to himself

Ange then walked over "there's something you should know heuye san" Ange said heuye looked curious "Rui is not like a normal human she's actually a matchmaking goddess..." Ange said

"Is that why she's so powerful" heuye said "there's more...your not her only soulmate" Ange said "eh...you mean I have to share her with other guys..." heuye said baffled by this sudden information

Then he looked back at Rui who was sleeping 'I suppose anyone would feel lucky to have her as a soulmate' heuye thought to himself as he gently closed the door
