Inside Mayor Masaki's office, Kayura and Dais, along with Darien and Amara sit in front of a large dark brown wooden desk. The chair on the opposite side of the desk was facing a large window overlooking the whole city. "Do you know why I've called you here?" Said a voice from the turned chair.
"Not really," Darien said cluelessly.
"Well…" The Mayor slowly turns around to face the four adults. When he was completely turned, he was stroking a fuzzy animal. The animal made a sort of purring noise. He reached into his desk drawer and took out a carrot. The animal's eyes brightened and glittered. "Here you go Ryo-Ohki." The animal took the carrot and started nibbling on it. "Now, it seems your two groups have been fighting last night. And might I add, nearly completely demolished a club!"
The Mayor's face was red with anger and rage. "We are aware of this Mayor, but it isn't our fault, "Dais stopped, and his wife Kayura picked up where he left off.
"Our son, Sage was celebrating his birthday, and after it was over, "She continued. "Some of the people went to the club as sort of an after party." Mayor Masaki's face grew slightly agitated. "Then they came." Kayura pointed to Darien and Amara, and said it with much disgust. "They were surly going to start trouble, and look what happened."
"That's not true!" Amara leapt out of her seat, and stood up. By this time, Ryo-Ohki had finished her carrot. "We were also celebrating our daughter, Mina's birthday as well. And I guess some of our friends had the same idea."
"If anyone was lookin' for trouble, it was you Date's!" Darien yelled after his wife.
The Date's and the Aino's both exchanged insults back and forth. All the while, the Mayor's face grew more and more agitated. He slammed his fist on the desk and Ryo-Oki jumped. "That's ENOUGH!" He roared over the noise. "That's three times you've brawled in my city, and I won't stand for it any longer. Frankly, I'm tired of your ridiculous feud."
He was interrupted by a buzzer, "Mayor Masaki, your son Kento is here to see you." Reports his secretary.
"Thank you Sasami, send him in," now he gets up out of his chair, as do the others. "If this happens again, you will all be given the death penalty," Mayor Masaki opens the door; Darien and Amara go out first, followed by Dais and Kayura. "Dais, wait." Dais stops at the door, his wife goes on ahead. "Here," the mayor pulls a gift wrapped box out of his desk drawer and tosses it to Dais. "You didn't think I'd forget Sage's birthday?"
"Thanks Yosho," Dais walks out and Kento walks in.
"Dad!"
"Son!" They embrace each other in a hug, and Kento shuts the door behind him.
Sometime later at the Aino Mansion, "I'm telling you, she'll make an excellent bride," a man was walking with Darien Aino.
"I'm not just going to sign her over to you. You've got to let her fall in love with you," Darien replied. "She's my daughter, and I want to see that she's being loved, and is in good hands." Darien patted the man on the back, "Tenchi," he began. "You'll have an excellent opportunity to chat with her at the party tonight."
"Mina!" A nurse was frantically searching for her. "Mina! Where are you?" The nurse enters her room looking for her. "MINA!"
"I'm in here, Amy." Answered Mina from her bathroom.
Amy went in the bathroom and saw Mina putting on lipstick. "Mina, your mother is looking all over for you. She has wonderful news to tell you." Amy is giddy with joy.
Mina's mother, Amara, walked in suddenly, "Mina, I've been looking all over for you, "she has a smile on her face. "Nurse Mizuno, would you leave so I can talk to my daughter in private?"
"Yes, Mrs. Aino."
Amy turned around with a little frown on her face when Mina spoke, "Amy stay, I'd like for you to here it too." Amy's spirits went soaring and was jumping up and down.
"Well, guess who was just talking to your father?" Amara teased.
"Ooh! Ooh, was it Elvis?" Mina shot back sarcastically.
"Everyone knows Elvis has been dead for years," Mina just stares at her mom. "Well, it seems Lord Tenchi has come to ask for your hand in marriage. Isn't it exciting?" Obviously, Mina wasn't thrilled about this, but neither the nurse, nor Mrs. Aino noticed.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my!" Exclaimed the nurse. "Lord Tenchi is richest, most eligible bachelor in this whole city, in the country even!" Amy let out a cry of sheer delight. He's so handsome and let's not forget rich. Oh, Mina's life is flashing before my eyes, she's so grown up."
"Umm, hello!" Mina waves her hands in front of Amara and Amy, but they're off in their own fantasy worlds. Dreaming up a life being married to Tenshi.
Amara snaps out of it. "So you are getting married, ohhh, this is sooo great." Amara hugs Mina.
"I didn't say I was getting married to anyone. Aren't I supposed to decide who I get married to or not?"
Amara paid no attention to her, and just walked out the bathroom, "Hurry up a change, it's almost time for the party!" She called back. Mina had on her mad face.
