Arranged Marriage Chapter Two
By:Kisaiyo
"Riku honey wake up".Said Riku's mother as she shook Riku lightly to get her up.
"Why so early mom"?Asked Riku sleepily.
"Because today your supposed to meet the prince so you have to get ready".Said Mrs.Harada as she went to Riku's closet and searched for something for Riku to wear.
"Mom I told you I wasn't going to wear something girly".Said Riku as she walked over to her mom and grabbed something out from the closet.
"Riku remember your supposed to wear something a girl would wear today".Said her mother.
"I know mom,that's why I'm going to wear this".Said Riku as she showed her mother what she took out from the closet.
Riku was holding a white skirt that was knee high,a light blue tank top,and a white jacket with a large light blue star outline on the right shoulder and three smaller outlines on the bottom left corner.
"Riku,are you really going to wear that"?Asked her mother in a nervous tone.
"Yes,I will and don't try to change my mind".Said Riku in a stern voice.
"Alright I'll let you wear it".Said her mother in a defeated voice.
"Thank you."Said Riku as she headed for the bathroom to get changed.
Riku changed into the clothes and brushed her hair afterwards.When she was done brushing her hair Riku put a small clip in her hair on one side.
The clip matched the outfit.It was a light pastel blue and the small star at the end was white.
After getting ready she went into the dining room and ate breakfast with the rest of the family.
"Riku you look pretty".Said Risa.
"I agree Riku,you look more lovely than I thought you would in that outfit".Said her mother as she smiled at Riku.
"Thank's".Said Riku as she blushed slightly.
"Riku,while your with the prince try to act a little ladylike.Okay?"Said her mother.
"Fine mom,I won't promise anything but I'll try".
"Prince"?Questioned Risa.
"Your going to marry the prince"?Asked Risa in shock.
"Apparently".Said Riku in a bored uninterested tone.
"How can you just wear that when your going to meet the prince"?Questioned Risa.
"It's not like I want to marry him".Said Riku in an annoyed tone.
"I wish I could marry the prince.Why are you so selfish Riku"?Said Risa in a slightly disgusted tone.
"What do you mean selfish?"Questioned Riku in an angry tone as she shot up from her chair.
"I can't believe that he'd even want to marry a selfish tomboy like you"!Shouted Risa as she too got out of her seat.
"I'm not selfish,your just jealous that he chose me over you"!Shouted Riku.
"How can you say that?Your marrying the prince and your still not satisfied?Isn't the prince good enough for you?Or do you think your too good for him?Shouted Risa in disgust.
"Girls calm down".Said Mrs.Harada as she put one hand on their shoulders and pushed them to sit down.
"I want you both to apologize to each other right now".Said Mrs.Harada in a stern voice.
"Sorry".They both said as they glared at each other.
"Risa why don't you go to your room"?Said Mrs.Harada.
Risa left tha dining room still angry about what happened.
"Riku,don't listen to your sister.She's just jealous like you said".
"How could she get that jealous over something like this"?Asked Riku her voice still sounding angry.
"Well Riku,Risa has always dreamed of marrying someone like the prince,and you have dreamed other things.
Risa has always wanted that dream to come true,but instead of her dream becoming reality for her it happened to you.And you didn't appreciate the situation as much as she would have so she thinks your selfish because you just got everything Risa has ever dreamed of but yet you did not appreciate it,understand"?Said her mother.
"I understand".Said Riku.
Dark's Pov
"Hey Daisuke,where are you going"?Asked Dark as he saw Daisuke leaving.
"I have to go to the western village,to help them with construction because of the landslide that happened a few days ago".Replied Daisuke as he turned to leave.
"See you later"!Shouted Dark as he saw Daisuke's form dissapear in the hallway.
/ "Almost time to meet her". / Thought Dark as he began to get ready.
Dark put on a black long sleeve shirt and black long pants that had a silver chain hooked onto the belt loop and a loop in the pocket of the pants.And than he put on a silver chain on his right wrist.
After he was ready he left the room and went into the Royal Garden to wait for Riku.
Riku's Pov
"Riku get going or your going to be late"!Shouted Mrs.Harada.
"I'll be back afterwards okay"?Asked Riku.
"Yes,I'll leave the extra key out for you"!Called back her mother.
"Bye"!Shouted Riku as she put on a pair of socks and shoes and went out the door and ran to the Royal Garden as fast as she could.
"Huff...I...Made it...Huff".Said Riku through gasps as she tried to catch her breath after running the long distance from her house to the Royal Garden.
"After she cough her breath she was still tired but she walked into the Garden trying her best not to seem tired when she obviously was.
Her hair was a mess from running and the clip had fallen out of her hair while she was running earlier.
Normal Pov
"Hey there".Said Dark as he walked toward Riku.
"Who are you"?Asked Riku.
Dark stood in shock at her question.
"How could you not know me"?Shouted Dark."I'm the prince".Said Dark.
"Your the prince"?Questioned Riku as she stood in shock.Riku had never expected the prince to be like this.
Riku gave a sigh of relief. / "I'm so glad". / Thought Riku. / "He's probably just two or three years older so I don't have to worry". / Thought Riku.
A few moments of silence passed until Riku finally spoke up.
"Umm,I'm Riku Harada".Said Riku as she held out her hand for him to shake.
Dark grabbed Riku's hand and smiled at her."The name's Dark Mousy".Said Dark as he held onto her hand gently and pulled her over to a table in the garden.
"Have a seat".Said Dark as he pulled the seat out for Riku and pushed it in after she sat down.
"Thank you".Said Riku.
"Riku,would you like some tea"?Asked Dark as he put his elbow on the table and leaned his head against it and smiled.
"Um,sure".Replied Riku as she started shifting in her chair.
Dark called a waiter over to the table and asked for some tea.The waiter quickly went into the palace and came out with hot tea in his hands.The waiter quickly and carefully set the tea on the table and left the two alone.
"That was fast".Said Riku in suprise at how quickly the waiter had gone into and out of the large palace.
"Yeah,in the palace everybody stresses perfection".Said Dark as he took his elbow off the table and took a sip of tea.
Riku had also taken a sip of tea and they both set down their cups.
"So Riku,is their anything you like to do for fun"?Asked Dark.
"Well I like sports".Replied Riku.
"What kind of sports"?Questioned Dark.
"I like playing Soccer and I like to run a lot."Said Riku.
/ "What kind of girl is she" / Thought Dark as he got an odd expression on his face.
"Is something wrong"?Asked Riku as she saw the odd expression that had appeared on his face.
"No,it's just that most girls don't play sports".Replied Dark
"Do you think it's odd then"?Questioned Riku as she glared at Dark.
"No,not at all".Said Dark as he put up his two hands in defense.
"Whatever"...Mumbled Riku.
After a few minutes had passed they had both finished their tea.
"Would you like to walk around the Garden"?Asked Dark.
"Okay".Replied Riku as she stood from her seat.
Dark laced his hand in her hand and gently pulled her around the garden.
"Hey let go".Said Riku as she was being dragged slightly.
"Sorry am I going a bit too fast"?Questioned Dark as he turned to face her with a smirk on his face.
"Yes,you are so I'd appreciate it if you'd stopped dragging me and slowed down".Said Riku.
"I have a better idea".Said Dark as he lifted riku in his arms bridal style.
"Hey put me down"!Shouted Riku as she started to blush at the body contact.
Dark ignored her shouting and kept walking.
Riku was still shouting at him until Dark interrupted her.
"Your cute".Said Dark as he smiled at her.
"Wha--?Mmmph"...Came Riku's muffled voice as Dark placed a kiss on Riku's lips.
Riku was blushing madly after Dark retreated from his kiss.
Dark smirked at her and put her down.
"You pervert"!Shouted Riku as she slapped Dark in the face leaving a red handprint on his face.
"Owww".said Dark as he rubbed his cheek where Riku had slapped him.
"Oooops"...Said Riku in a nervous voice as she backed up from him and started laughing nervously.
"I am so sorry".Said Riku in a nervous voice."It's just a reflex".Said Riku trying to defend herself.
"How dare you"!Shouted one of the waitresses as she ran to Dark.
"Sir are you alright"?Asked the waitress as she handed Dark a pack of ice and a towel.
"I'll be fine".Said Dark as he took the ice pack and held it against his face.
"You can leave now".said Dark to the waitress.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take care of her"?Questioned the waitress.
"I'll do it myself".Said Dark as he made a motion with his hands for the waitress to leave.
The waitress glared at Riku as she left.And Riku glared back at her.
"What the hell did you do that for"?Shouted Dark as he made large hand motions and had gotten a funny looking expression on his face.
Riku giggled at his motions and face expression as Dark was still shouting at her.
"Don't laugh"!Shouted Dark as he glared at her.
"I can't help it,your expressions and actions look so hilarious"!Shouted Riku as she started to laugh a little louder.
Dark sighed in defeat as he watched her still laughing at his actions.
Riku took a deep breath after and tried to calm down from all the laughing she had just done.
"Done"?Questioned Dark.
"Yep".Replied Riku in a happy voice.
"Let's go then".Said Dark.
"Where are we going"?Questioned Riku.
"I want you to meet someone".Said Dark as he led her into a large clearing in the garden.
"Who"?Questioned Riku.
"It's a suprise said Dark as he began scanning around the area for someone.
"There he is".Said Dark as he began pulling Riku in one corner of the garden.Riku tried to keep up with Dark's pace but the skirt she was wearing prevented her from doing so and she tripped.
Crash!Riku had tripped over something and was covered in dirt.Riku got up from the ground and her clothes had dirt stains on them along with Riku's hair being messy.
"Are you all right"?Asked Dark as he tried to help her up.
"I'm fine I can get up on my own".Said Riku as she tried to get up but failed.
"Are you sure about that"?Said Dark as he smirked.
"Grrrrrr"...Growled Riku.
"Here".Said Dark as he held out his hand for her to grab.Riku reluctantly grabbed onto his hand and got up from the ground.
"Thank you".Mumbled Riku as she brushed dirt off her clothes.
Dark grabbed her hand again but this time he walked slower for Riku.Dark pulled her to a corner of the garden and moved some of the plants with his hand.When tha plant was moved over some more Riku saw something white and furry.
Riku reached out to touch it but before she touched it,it turned around to face her.It had large red eyes and a fluffy tail.
"Kyu"!It said as it seemed to be smiling at them.
"It's so cute"!Shouted Riku as she reached out for it and cuddled it in her arms.
"His name is Wiz".Said Dark as he pet Wiz on the head.
"Hi Wiz".Said Riku as she stopped cuddling him and smiled at him.
"Kyu"!Kyu!"Squeeled Wiz as he seemed to be smiling again.
Riku smiled at Wiz and put him back down on the ground gently.As soon as he was on the ground he hopped over to Dark and smiled again before he left.
"Awwwwww...Wiz is so cute".Said Riku.
"Everyone seems to think so".Said Dark as he stood up.Riku stood up after him and stretched.
"So,would you like a ride home"?Questioned Dark.
"I guess so".Replied Riku.
"Well then lets get going".Said Dark as he led her to the front of the palace and into a black car.
Riku sat next to Dark in the car and one of the palace drivers drove the car.
Riku blushed when the car started moving because their shoulders brushed against each other.
The walk to Riku's house was about an hour and a half long so Riku figured the ride would be about forty-five minutes.
After a few minutes had passed Dark put his arm around Riku's shoulders.
"Hey what do you think your doing"!Shouted Riku.
"Be quiet!"Yelled the driver.
"Sorry".Said Riku as she turned back to glare at Dark.
"What do you think your doing"?Asked Riku in an annoyed tone.
Dark ignared the question and kept his arm where it was.
"Pervert".Said Riku as she still glared at him.
"Look,I'm not a pervert okay"?Said Dark in an annoyed voice.
"Then what do you think your doing"?Riku hissed.
"I'm doing what I feel like doing".Replied Dark as he tried to pull Riku to lean against him.
"You pervert".Said Riku as she slapped him in the face again.
"What the hell"?said Dark as he rubbed his burning cheek.
"Thats what you get for being such a pervert".Said Riku as she turned her head to look out the window.
They spent the rest of the car ride in silence.When they had reached Riku's house Riku quickly exited the car but Dark had stopped her before she got inside.
Dark had gotten out of the car and grabbed Riku's hand.
"I think I should meet your family if were going to get married".Said Dark as he smiled and followed her to the front steps of her house.
"Fine".Said Riku as she got the key to the house and opened the door.
The driver awaited Dark's orders.
"You can leave for now,but be back in two hours".Ordered Dark.
"Yes sir".Said the driver as he drove off.
"Now time to meet your family"...
