The thief and voodoo

chapter 1

hey people, let me give you all a new story to look forward to. My first ever sly cooper story. This will be the first story showing a great relationship between sly and Mz. Ruby. I know it sounds crazy, but like I said before, if it's a pairing that hasn't been created or it's very rare, then I can make it work. Which means that I will be able to make this work. I also got the idea for this pairing after seeing a few good pictures of these two together. If you've seen them then you know where. Also, I will be changing the age difference around for it to make more sense.

Deep within the Haiti jungle is known to house several kinds of odd and strange creatures, most of which are extremely dangerous.

But right at this very moment, we find a small, young alligator, crying her eyes out as she sat alone in the dark foliage.

She was a young female dark green alligator with a lightish green belly and mouth, along with a single tooth poking out of her mouth and spikes on her tail, and dark blue hair in two pigtails that had a red band on both and had a pink skull in the center of her hair. Her attire included a pinkish sleeveless shirt,with one gold ring on each of her ankles and two on her wrists. She also had a red jewel in her belly and a gold necklace around her neck.

This young girl would later be known as Mz. Ruby, but that wouldn't be for several years. For now, she goes by the name of Ruby.

Ruby continued her crying as her sadness didn't seem to let up. She couldn't help it; she had a good reason to let out all her sadness. Ever since the kids who lived near her home had learned about her interest in voodoo magic, they stayed away from her.

She was born into a family of mystics, who had the power to not only see contact spirits; but also raise the dead.

She had been taught how to raise the undead not that long ago, and it didn't do so well in getting the other children's good sides. As soon as they saw her gift, they ran as fast as possible away. Even when she told her parents, they told her that most people wouldn't be able to truly understand them.

So here she was, letting her sadness and frustration out as she curled herself into a small ball and just rested against the cold jungle ground.

She felt her eyelids droop shut for a moment before they suddenly sprang open after she heard a noise. Being in a dark and dense jungle didn't stop her from hearing odd noises, but she had gotten used to it. This noise however was completely new for her and caused her to pushed herself up and listen closely.

She listened as it sounded like a pair of small footsteps. She listened and focused on a small part of leaves that were soon pushed apart to reveal a new figure she had never seen before.

The figure seemed to be small like her, had gray fur with black markings around his face that made him look like a burglar, while his attire consisted of a blue elbow-sleeved shirt with a yellow collar, blue boots, blue gloves with yellow cuffs, and a blue peasant's cap.

Sly Cooper had been surprised that he and his parents went on a vacation trip to Haiti, but he was even more confused on why he heard crying out in the jungle as his parents got their tents ready. Being curious and young, the raccoon went out in search of the noise and stumbled upon a young alligator, a girl by the looks of her clothes, who seemed to be the one who was crying.

After being discovered by the young alligator, Sly saw a chance to see what was wrong. So being the young minded individual he was, he stepped out of the brush and stood a few feet from the girl alligator. "Hey there."

Ruby didn't know what to say as this young raccoon child stepped out of nowhere, and just walked up and greeted her. It was completely opposite the way the other children acted around her. Seeing the raccoon waiting for a reply back, Ruby could only greet back the only way she could. "What do you want?" granted it wasn't the nicest way to reply, but with how sad and frustrated she was right now it was no surprise.

Sly didn't seem deterred by the reply as he probably guessed she might still be upset. "I just came here because I heard crying? Are you alright?" asked Sly.

Ruby wiped her eyes before looking away. "I'm sad. None of the kids around want to play with me. They're all scared of me." replied Ruby who had a feeling this kid would be like the others.

"Why is that? Why would they be scared of a cute girl?" asked Sly who was too young to know how much those words would be in the future.

Ruby felt her face heat up and didn't know why. She looked at the raccoon boy and tried to keep her gaze on him as she found it was harder than she thought. "They're scared of what I can do."

"Well, what can you do?" asked Sly who felt eager to see what this young alligator could do.

Ruby didn't look him in the eyes and just closed her eyes as she focused her powers to calling a spirit. Soon a spirit that seemed cat-like floated out of the ground with glowing yellow eyes. Ruby reluctantly opened her eyes to the raccoon and expected the scared look in his eyes, but was astonished that nothing but awe was held in them.

Sly himself was stunned with awe at what he was seeing. His parents were never into believing spirits were real, but he always wondered about them. Now here he was, looking at an actually ghost that this girl just made. She was amazing.

"That's amazing! How did you do that?" asked Sly who wanted to learn more from her.

Ruby was stunned at the enthusiasms that this raccoon was showing. He didn't show fear, or disgust with what she could do. She brought one of her claws up to her face and saw a tear. She was crying. But not with sadness, she was happy. These were tears of joy.

Sly saw the alligator girl was begging to cry and began to get nervous. He didn't know he made her sad or angry again. So being the naive child that he was, he did the only thing he could think of that he learned from his mom. He wrapped his arms around her and began to give her a hug.

Ruby was stunned once again today. This raccoon suddenly gave her a hug and she could feel how warm he was. It felt truly pleasing to her as her species were cold blooded and couldn't maintain their own body heat. So young Ruby returned the hug and pulled the raccoon boy closer to her.

Sly smiled at what he thought was his accomplishment of calming down this nice girl.

"Sly! Where are you? Time for dinner?" came the loud voice of Sly's mother as she called out to her son.

Sly reluctantly pulled away from Ruby who wasn't too thrilled with seeing him pull away. "Sorry, but my mom is calling me back for dinner. Hope we can play again tomorrow." replied Sly as he turned and began his trek to the campsite.

Ruby was disappointed that he was leaving, but felt happy that he said he would play with her tomorrow. Suddenly, a realization hit her as she turned to the raccoon about to leave her sight. "Wait! What's your name?" asked Ruby who wanted to remember the name of the mysterious boy.

Sly turned and felt embarrassed for not giving his name to a new friend he just met. "The name's Sly, Sly Cooper." replied Sly who felt a little pride at giving his full name.

Ruby liked the sound of that name and replied, "My name is Ruby. Can't wait for our lay day, Sly." replied Ruby who shared a smile with the young raccoon as he gave her a thumbs up and left the clearing to head back to camp.

Ruby felt her face heat up again and couldn't suppress a giggle at what she just accomplished today. Today would definitely would be something to remember. It would be the day she made her first friend, Sly Cooper.

well people, I present another crazy pairing that will make you all wrap your minds around this one. Now let me go ahead and explain that this little meeting will change the outcome of the Sly Cooper history. And let me just say I think that went well as if you really think about, the thing Mz. Ruby never had was a true friend. Sure she was part of the Fiendish Five, but they were just accomplices. Now it may seem odd, but I will make it work. And be sure for a big change for Ruby in the future chapters. See ya.
