EnJoY! ChApTeR 21! :D :D


Nadeshiko heard herself thank the woman and then hang up. She turned to her friends who gave her questioning looks.

"We should find Reizo." Nadeshiko stated and started to walk away.

Everyone followed her.

However, they only walked about five feet before Nadeshiko stopped. Everyone almost ran into each other because she was so abrupt with her stop.

"Reizo!" She called.

There was movement in the bushes to the left of the group. Everyone turned to look and they saw Reizo stand and walk towards them.

"I'm always seen by you." He stated, but Nadeshiko ignored him and started to ask.

"Has our boss made any arrangements? Like marriage?" Nadeshiko asked and Reizo took a step back.

"Why? Are you interested in him?" Reizo growled.

"No." Nadeshiko answered unfazed, "Amu has an arranged marriage and I'm trying to figure out with who."

Reizo relaxed and thought for a moment.

"I think Keiji should know." He turned and started to walk down the path. When no one followed him he turned and said, "Are you coming?"

Everyone nodded briefly and ran after him. They followed him to the beach, and then to the fountain near the ice cream stand. There, they found Keiji laughing with someone with red hair. However, they could guess who it was without her turning around. When Keiji saw them, particularly Ikuto, approaching he quickly came up with an excuse and then ran up to them before they got too close.

"Do you know if your dad has arranged a marriage for Amu?" Reizo stated bluntly. Ikuto looked between them and a couple dots connected but the picture was still blurry. Keiji swallowed.

"Yeah." He whispered and looked at Ikuto, but he hadn't heard him because he was trying to figure out how everyone knew each other and their connections to Amu. Nadeshiko waved her hand in Ikuto's face.

"Hello? Anyone home?" Nadeshiko asked.

Ikuto shook his head and said, "What?"

"Our boss," Nadeshiko said gesturing to Keiji, Reizo and herself, "Has arranged a marriage for Amu."

"Why?" Ikuto asked wildly.

"She has a debt to our family," Keiji said and looked at Ikuto, but Ikuto wasn't sure why he looked at him when he said 'our' and he thought about Keiji connections to the man lurking around, "And my dad thinks if she marries him then the debt is paid for, I guess."

"What?" Ikuto asked and was surprised it took him so long to connect the obvious dots, "Their boss is your Dad, and he's here right now, and then he's my . . . Oh God!"

Ikuto never finished what he said, but no one questioned him about it, but Ikuto felt increasing more worried about what was going to happen.


Meanwhile, Amu was still sitting in the dance hall, however, she wasn't crying. The door creaked open, but Amu didn't turn to see who it was nor did she care.

"Amu?" Utau's voice came through Amu's ears and her head turned towards the two people standing in front of her. She was dazed.

"Yes?" Amu answered politely.

"What's wrong?" Kukai asked.

"I've been arranged to marry." Amu managed a smile, "And Ikuto thinks I knew."

"How do you know?" Utau wondered.

"My mom interrupted our practice and told me." Amu started to draw circles on the floor.

Amu started to cry again.

"Come let's go to the cabin." Utau suggested. Amu nodded, got to her feet, and stumbled out the door behind Kukai and Utau.

They took longer than usually to get to the cabin because Amu was breaking down. Eventually, Utau and Kukai just carried her to the cabin. The lunch bell rang and Kukai mumbled something about all these bells the camp has but only used them once.

When they got to the cabin Kukai put Amu in her bed and turn to see Keiji and Reizo in the cabin.

"What's going on?" Kukai asked.

"We'll tell you after we get some lunch." Reizo answered and gestured towards the door. They left and Amu was still on her bed. She thought she did a pretty good acting job.

She sat up and made sure everyone was gone. Then she left the cabin, but she was careful not to bump into someone she knew. She was looking behind her when she ran and ran in to someone in front of her. Large hands circled around her waist and caught her before she had hit the ground.

"Thanks." She said and brushed herself off. When she looked up she saw a man that looked similar to Ikuto, but still different. His eyes were almost black, but when the sun shone on them they were green and his hair was black. It was in the same style as Ikuto's hair. Suddenly, Amu thought of Keiji. This man looked a lot like Keiji, or Keiji looked a lot like this man. Then Amu started to notice similarities in Ikuto and Keiji.

"They have to be related." Amu whispered.

"What was that?" The man's velvet voice made her knees weak, but there was something sinister behind it that kept her knees strong.

"Nothing." Amu smiled. Amu tried to step around him but the man side-stepped back in her way.

"I'm sorry, but I have to speak to you." The velvet in the man's voice disappeared and his voice became evil. Nadeshiko's boss, Amu thought. Terror must have been leaking into her expressions because the man began to smirk. In fact, his smirk was so wide it looked painful.

Amu spun on her heel and took off back towards her cabin. However, she ran right passed her cabin and turned around and ran back towards the man. He was so surprised he didn't even realize what happened until she was a good twenty feet behind him. However, she turned down a path that she had never been down before. The path began to disappear, but just before it disappeared she passed a building. She sprinted passed the building and then was grabbed.

"Relax." The voice was different for the other man's, but Amu couldn't trust her hearing because the man covered his voice so well before. This voice was more playful.

"I was just wondering how my son is doing?" The man's voice was holding back a laugh.

Amu struggled. It was only until the man with green-black eyes ran by that she relaxed. The man pulled her into the building. She looked around and noticed this was an old cabin. It was covered in dust and cobwebs and the bunks were broken.

She turned towards the man and he was extremely similar to Ikuto, actually he could be considered his twin, but this man was older. He was also similar to the man with green-black eyes. This man's eyes were almost black as well, but his were blue when the light hit them. Amu noticed his hair was blue and in the same style as Ikuto's hair.

"Why ask me about your son? How do you even know I know him?" Amu threw questions at him.

"My son called me the other day after my daughter saw my brother here." The man answered. "My son was worried his girlfriend might be in trouble, so he called me to see where my brother was, but then I guess he saw him because he called me and told me."

Amu stared at him. She confused without names because the 'he's and 'his' were getting confusing.

"Actually." The man continued, "I was wonder why my brother was after you?"

Amu looked at him even more confused.

"He was the man chasing you." The man clarified.

"I was arranged to marry him." Amu whispered.

The man looked at her and cringed comically. Amu laughed and then he smiled.

"You look better with a smile, like my son said." The man told her and she blushed.

"Who's your son?" She asked.

"Ikuto." He answered, "I'm Aruto."

"I'm Amu." Amu told him.

"I know." He laughed.

Amu mumbled something when she remembered something Aruto said.

"What was that?" He asked.

"I'm not his girlfriend." Amu whispered a little louder, and she sat on the floor. Aruto sat beside her.

"Well, I don't believe that, but let's ignore that topic for awhile, okay?" Aruto asked.

Amu smiled slightly and nodded.

Aruto asked her again, why his brother was chasing her and she gave him the same answer.

"Would you like me to tell you why he wants to get married so badly?" Aruto smirked.

Amu nodded.

"Our father is on his death bed. He owns Tsukiyomi Modeling Corporation, but my brother wants to control it. Therefore, our father gave it to him just to see how he'd handle the job. Right now, my father is furious with him because there have been a number of death's that my brother has failed to explain properly to our father." Aruto looked at Amu to make sure she was still listening, and she was, so he continued, "Now, our father said that if he can get a bride then the company is his, if he doesn't then the company comes to me."

Amu connected all the dots in record time. Aruto is brother's with the man chasing her and is Ikuto's father and, therefore, that makes the man with green-black eyes Ikuto's uncle. The man chasing her wants to marry her so he can control the corporation and unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) kill more models, like her dad. Amu shook her head.

"I think you should be getting back before your friends start to worry." Aruto told her. Amu nodded and left, but before she did Aruto spoke up, "And if you can help it, you never saw me here."

Amu nodded again and tried to get back to her cabin without being spotted by the man with green-black eyes. However, she failed miserably. She was about fifteen feet from her cabin when she was grabbed from behind. She was pulled off the path and a hand slipped over her mouth.

She looked up to see who it was.
