On with chapter 3:
Act III: The Bet
The door slowly creaked open. Revealing a handsome young prince that every girl dreamed about. He had amazingly soft and messy purple hair and outstanding violet eyes. The looks of him could have any girl in the whole world at his feet…any girl…except one…The one he loved but could never have…Riku Harada…
Prince Dark of the North Azumo Kingdom slowly tiptoed into the room. The room was just plain. Not like the other princess's rooms which were decorated with lots of stuffed toys and painted pink. No. This room was different. It was a light green painted room. The sight of it was very comfortable. There was a desk and two bookshelves filled with books. There were also very nice and soothing paintings and a very nice oak wardrobe. The only toy there was a stuffed teddy bear given by the younger prince when they were little.
Yes. Indeed this princess was different.
The room was quiet and the only sound that could be heard was the girl's rhythmic breathing.
Dark tiptoed over to the girl's bedside and leaned in… Faces only inches apart…he leaned in closer…and closer…and then…
WHAM!!
"Ugh…" Dark groaned. He was now on the floor with a big red hand print on his cheek. And the person who planted it was non other than Princess Riku Harada of the South Azumo Kingdom.
"Hah! Got you...AGAIN…" Riku said with pride as Dark got up form the hard cold floor.
"Aww…But Riku…"Dark fake pouted "You always win! That's so unfair!"
"Duh." Riku said in an its-a-matter-of-fact tone "Just call it…girl's reflexes."
"Oh really…" Dark said in a bored tone. Then Riku ran to the door smiling.
"Come on Dark! We have a bet today remember? Now go and wait for me in the stable. I'll get dressed and be down shortly." Riku said cheerfully. She was always like that. So cheerful and open minded all the time. She barely had a grudge against anyone. But she REALLY hated perverts.
"What? I don't get to see you get changed?" Dark said acting disappointed knowing that Riku would blush. And sure enough she did.
"W-w-w-wh-what?" Riku stuttered blushing. Then she finally snapped back to life and grew furious. "BAKA HENATI!!! GET OUT YOU BIG PERVERT!!!" The princess shouted and Dark ran playfully out of the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Stable
Dark and Riku were there in their training outfits since they were gonna have hand-to-hand combat later on.
"So…Same rules?" Asked Dark and Riku just nodded in agreement.
"So which one do you want to compete in first?"
"Hmm…"Riku trailed off. She was thinking of putting it in the correct order that will bring her more advantage. Every time they bet they'll compete in 4 different rounds: horseback riding (racing), Archery, hand-to-hand combat and fencing.
"I think we'll start off with horseback riding, then archery then fencing and hand-to-hand combat last. " Riku finally decided.
"I'm fine with that. I'll be waiting at the ball then." Dark said smirking his oh-so-famous confident smirk. But to his surprise was returned a smirk of her own from Riku Harada.
"But what makes you think I'll lose this match pervert?" Riku asked back "Just get ready to do a few things I planned for you to do." And with that Riku and Dark climbed on their own horses.
Riku's horse was a beautiful snow white color. Its mane was a bluish-silver and its fur coat was white. There was a blue star symbol on its forehead. Resembling that it was a magical creature. Its fur gave off a bluish moonlight shine while its eyes were brown and feminine yet rough. Not willing to give up without a fight, just like its mistress.
Dark's horse, however was jet black but shined in an unusual way. It had a white crescent on its forehead. Also a magical creature. Its eyes were confident and twinkled with mischief. Just like Dark.
"First to run past the meadows, round the fountain and back wins." Riku announced and Dark just nodded.
"Ready? Set. Go!" Riku shouted and raced off. Leaving Dark in a pile of dust.
"Huh? Hey! That's cheating!" Dark shouted and raced after Riku.
"Come on Yuki. We trained hard this month so we're not gonna lose right? Come on. You don't wanna lose me to that perv do you?" Riku said and as if Yuki understood what her mistress said she neighed and ran faster then any magical being.
"Ok Wiz. Let's get me a girlfriend now shall we? And if we win I think you really deserve some strawberries for a prize no?" Dark said and his horse neighed and ran faster. Not because for its master but for the strawberries though…
Riku's POV
"Yeah! I'm gonna win!" I said to myself happily. Dark was a long way behind and there was no way he was gonna catch up. Right?
'And now it'll be my turn to tease him for losing to a girl.' I thought to myself.
Dark's POV
'Oh shit! I so far behind! Unless Wiz gets some miracle energy we're gonna loose!' I thought to myself. I and Wiz were at least 10 miles away and it had to be a miracle for us to catch up!
Then something struck me…
"Aww Wiz… Looks like we're loosing…And I wanted to double the portion of strawberries if we won…"
Normal POV
"I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win." Riku hummed to herself happily. She was only less then 5 meters from the finish line and nothing could stop her now. But then…luck always liked the cuter boys…
Dark and Wiz shot past Riku and Yuki like lightning and ended the race. (A/N: I know…It's stupid…I'm having lack of inspiration now ya noe!)
"Aww man…You have GOT to be kidding me!" Riku whined. She trained hard for the whole month but Dark won again…as usual…
"There! I win!" Dark announced. "Its Dark 1, Riku 0!" Dark said happily.
"Shut up Dark. We still have 3 more rounds remember?" Riku said and continued in a confident tone "And they're all mine." Riku said smirking but was greeted with an equally confident smirk of Dark's.
"Be my guest…We'll just see Riku…We'll just see…"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(After the other 3 rounds)(A/N: I'm not good in scenes…)
Riku and Dark sighed…The 3 rounds were over and they were exhausted. So they came to get a drink.
"No….Not AGAIN…" Riku groaned "A TIE?! AGAIN?!"
"Seems so hun…" Dark said and turned to Riku "So compete in deciding match as usual?"
(A/N : Riku won sparring and archery while Dark wont hand-to-hand combat and the race)
"Ugh!!" Riku groaned "Fine! But I want to choose the deciding round!"
"Anything for you milady." Dark said smirking.
"Ok then. Lets play a game of thieves." Riku said and Dark smirked.
"Alright then. You're on. So…where's the venue?" Dark asked. But Riku just smiled in an evil-sweet way. (A/N: creepy)
"The East Azumo Kingdom's Black Crystal heart pendant. Famous for its strict security and its dark powers no one has been able to use." Riku said and Dark's eyes were as wide as saucepans.
"E-E-Es-East Azumo Kingdom?" Dark stuttered. But Riku just smirked and replyed.
"Yup. You know. Your best friend's home."
"East Azumo Kingdom as in Krad Hikari Hiwatari and Satoshi Hiwatari's Kingdom?" Dark said not believing his ears. "You have got to be kidding me!"
"Nope. That's the place." Riku just said boredly.
"Ok fine. Even though we have to go THERE and compete I still wont lose." Dark smirked. "Ready for the ball love?"
"That is…IF you win." Riku replied "It's almost dinner time now. I'll explain the rules after dinner. Meet me in my study room after dinner." Riku said and ran back to the castle for dinner.
"I knew letting her choose the game was a bad idea…" Dark mumbled and ran after Riku
