AN- I don't think you guys saw the last update. I didn't receive many reviews. Just like 2 or 3 i think. If u guys didn't see chapter 11 where all the pairings are mentioned then then go read it. Also review for the last chapter as well. If you did not read the last chapter then this chapter will not be making sense at all. Just do a quick skim to see if you read it or not. Thanks to those who did review.

Well when I used to live in Florida before I moved to New York there was this mall called JCPenny. Inside the mall there was this little attraction called the gyro and some numbers lol.

Chapter 12- Dinner Proposal

Recap

"Oh yeah I forgot. I have plans for tonight. So like you all have to leave. Except for Utau of course. My parents are coming and having dinner with these people tonight so yeah. Maybe you guys could hide out upstairs as long as you make no noise." Ikuto said getting up.

"Sure. Sounds like a plan." Everyone agreed with Ikuto as they all began to move.

"Hey I have to get home now so I can't stay. Bye!" Rima said going to the front door.

"Bye! Have fun!" They called out to the midget before she closed the door.

"Now you guys head upstairs while me and Utau get ready." Ikuto said pushing them up.

"Slow down mister. Pushy much?" Amu commented.

With that everyone got to their destinations waiting for night to come. Who knows what tonight held for everyone.

Normal Pov-

"They're here!" Utau shouted hurrying down the stairs while placing one of her earrings in.

"Alright listen up, you're staying up here in the bedroom. Don't make too much noise or I swear I'll murder you all." Ikuto said with a dead serious look.

"Bruh, you gotta chill some." Nagi said putting a hand on Ikuto's shoulder.

"Don't tell me to chill. This is a very important night for my parents. I have to make sure everything goes well." Ikuto said with a stressed sigh.

"I'll handle everything Ikuto, you can count on me," Tadase said with Kukai's signature thumbs up.

"Hey, don't steal my sign!" Kukai whined like a child.

"I'm leaving it up to you Kairi," Ikuto said looking down hoping he didn't make a mistake keeping them up here.

"I got you man," Kairi said putting a hand on Ikuto's shoulder almost feeling pity for him.

With that the whole gang except for Utau and Ikuto made themselves comfortable in the gaming room.

"Anyone up for a game of Foosball?" Kukai offered.

"If only Utau was here right now she would be all over this." Nadeshiko said chuckling causing a tint of pink to reach Kukai's cheeks and making him cover his face. Amu took the opportunity to take a picture for blackmail if needed.

"Welcome, please make yourselves at home." Everyone upstairs heard through the vents.

"Oh shit. lets eavesdrop on them," Kukai thought walking over to the vents.

Amu immediately got up and dragged a bean bag chair to the vent and plopped down smiling viciously at Kukai.

"I dare you, boy." Amu said with that scary voice of hers which made Kukai whimper like a lost cat.

"You're no fun." Kukai pouted.

"It's not nice to eavesdrop." Amu said with a straight face.

"Ugh fine I'm gonna go play 'aa'." Kukai said plopping on the couch.

Everyone had gotten rather comfortable and were doing their own things. Nagihiko seemed rather lonely without Rima to make fun of him. Nadeshiko was having a blast playing with Tadase's hair and Yaya and Kairi were playing some old school games.

Amu thought to herself while sitting down next to the vents to listen to some music and read some fan fictions. As time passed on she fell asleep and her ear phones fell out of place. Everyone else was now playing on the Ps3 taking turns while Kairi was trying to make them quiet down.

With Rima-

"Home please." Rima demanded to the limo driver and did so. She took out her phone to listen to some music before she reached her 'house'. It's not like she hated her house, it just wasn't her favorite place to be. Especially with her parents always arguing about who would take over the family company since they didn't have a boy.

They argued about how Rima wouldn't be able to handle the job by herself and how they needed to think of something. This made Rima regret ever being born because she felt unwanted since her parents doubted her abilities to take care of the family business when they retire. Rima's thoughts were halted when the driver opened the door and started talking. Rima turned off her cell and listened.

"Your parents will arrive shortly go get dressed and I'll inform you of whatever happens to come up," The driver said. Before Rima could ask he also added

"The maid laid your outfit on your bed." He said grinning. Rima thanked him and made her way to her room while passing all the maids who bowed at her as she passed.

Rima took a quick shower and got ready with some time to spare. She took a twirl and checked herself out in the mirror. She had to admit that she did look pretty girly, but hey sometimes a girl wants to dress up too.

She couldn't help but take a few pictures...Okay maybe a lot.

Rima dropped her phone but caught it as soon as she heard her parents hollering at each other downstairs. Rima made her way downstairs adjusting her pearls. She could see the stressed out look on her parents face.

Once they caught sight of the midget Rima's face became dull just like it always was.

"Rima you look oh so perfect. Now lets get a few things straight. We need to make a good impression on this family or else it will be the end. Don't say anything inappropriate or something that will tarnish our family name. Speak when spoken to, you will answer nicely to them no matter what. Also you must say yes to what the adults say at the very end." Mrs. Mashiro said with her arms folded across her cheek.

Rima was so utterly confused as to what her mother meant by say 'yes' at the very end. Looks like she'll find out once she gets there.

"We are going to go get ready, it'll only take at most twenty minutes. Don't ruin your dress or anything else." Mr. Mashiro said going up the stairs picking up his suit from the maid.

"Okay." Rima replied going up to her room to get her clutch bag and cell with her ear phones.

When her parents walked down the stairs they went to the limo parked in front of the mansion. They all sat on the opposites side of each other all on their phones.

'They always bring work with them where ever we go', Rima thought.

She got her ear phones out and put the music up to the max and just closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep on the drive.

Once they came to a stop Rima opened her eyes and her jaw dropped to the ground. She couldn't believe where she was right then.

"Lets go Rima, we don't want to leave the Tsukiyomi's waiting." Her mom said waiting for her to get out of the limo.

Tsukiyomi Household-

"Welcome, please make yourselves at home." Utau's mom said opening the door and being polite. Her husband snapped his fingers twice making the servants come and take their coats and belongings to the storage closet.

"Please join us for a fine dinner in the dining room." Utau's mom, Souku said gesturing them to the dining hall.

Ikuto's, Utau's and Rima's eyes all instantly met but they all kept quiet not wanting to disturb their parents. Once their parents were going to the dining room the teens all slowed down a bit and Utau whisper yelled

"What the hell are you doing here!"

"I have no idea, I was supposed to go out for a dinner meeting with my parents." Rima responded with her arms in the air like she didn't do anything.

"Kids!" The parents called out, "Coming" they all replied in unison.

Aruto sat at the end of the table, Utau to his left and Souku to his right. Rima and Ikuto sat across each other, Rima's father sitting at the opposite end of Aruto and her mother to her right.

"Thank you for coming here tonight." Aruto said with a smile.

"Thank you for inviting us here tonight," Rima's dad said as the butlers brought in appetizers.

Rima looked down as Utau and Ikuto were trying to figure out what was going on.

The adults kept talking while the teens kept quiet waiting for one of the adults to speak to them.

"I think it's time we get down to business." Rima's dad said clearing his throat. Everyone's face intensified and things got serious.

Upstairs-

Amu had just awoken and heard chattering from the vent.

"I think it's time we get down to business." Amu heard a stern voice said.

"Rima," Amu was confused as to why one of the adults just said Rima's name, was she there ?

"Will you marry my son Ikuto once you graduate?"

"What the hell!" Amu shouted so that everyone's attention would go to her but it wasn't loud enough to be heard from downstairs.

"Guys get over here and listen." Amu demanded them all.

"Oh I thought eave-" Before Kukai could finish what he was saying he was cut off by Amu saying

"Shut the fuck up and listen before I slap you into next week." With a dead serious face.

Kukai became as quiet as a mouse and listened to the air vent.

"Yes, I'll marry Ikuto." They all heard Rima's voice sort of cracking.

"Well then it looks like the deed has been done. This marriage will soon take place after you have come of age." Rima's dadStated

"What the fuck!" Everyone shouted upstairs but again not loud enough for the people downstairs to hear.

Downstairs-

"Will you marry my son Ikuto?" Aruto asked Rima.

Rima's eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of her eyeball sockets. Her mouth was wide open and she was trying to think of what to say so she looked to her mom and she gave Rima a stern look and Rima now knew what her mother had meant. They had been planning this for a while now haven't they.

"Yes," Rima said her voice cracking as her dad got up and congratulated them.

"Ikuto would you please show Rima the garden," Aruto rather demanded than asked.

The adults went to the living room talking about the marriage and Utau went with them leaving Ikuto and Rima alone.

Ikuto grabbed Rima's hand and dragged her outside to the garden and once they got outside he shouted with all his might.

"Ikuto..." Rima said trying to get him to calm down.

"You don't love me right?" Ikuto asked after calming down.

"Hell no!" Rima shouted to him.

"Then why'd you say yes!?"

"I was forced to, if I didn't, then I don't know what would've happened." Rima said looking down with her bangs covering her face.

Ikuto looked very frustrated at this moment. He thought this was going to be a regular business meeting, not some way to get him married.

"Wait I think I know why they're doing this to us. My parents have been arguing for a while as to what's going to happen to the family business once they retire and how I can't do this all by myself. I think our parents are like co-partners in this business, my parents own the company but your parents are like right below my parents so they control everything that happens. Of course they would make a plan for us to get married so we could inherit the family business." Rima said thinking about how their parents could do such a thing to them.

"We'll talk about this later, just play along okay?" Ikuto said going back in with Rima following in pursuit.

"Ah, welcome back Ikuto, Rima. So what do you think about this marriage?" Both parents were giving the 'Don't screw this up or else' look.

"I can't wait." Ikuto said putting an arm around Rima's petite waist.

"Neither can I," Rima said going along with Ikuto's plan for now and faked a crystal smile.

Utau was confused as hell until Ikuto winked at her which practically told her he came up with a plan and she calmed down.

Soon after all the commotion, the Mashiro's left for home and before Aruto and Souku had to go out again, for who knows how long, they had to tell Ikuto something.

"Ikuto, son I'm sorry but we had to. If we didn't we would be put on the streets. I was put on the spot and I had to. But to me it seems like you're okay with it so I'll be taking my leave." Aruto said grabbing Souku and leaving the house.

"I think we need to go upstairs and tell them," Utau said already going up.

Once they reached the door and opened it, the entire gang was standing in front of the floor with their arms crossed.

"Explain some shit right now." Amu said with fire emitting from her scary like aura.
