Arranged Marriage Chapter Four
Riku's Pov
/ "So tomorrow I meet his parents". / Thought Riku as she walked into her room.
Riku walked into her room and went to her dresser to pick out her night clothes. After she grabbed her night clothes she headed for the bath.Riku set her clothes on the bathroom counter and started to fill the bath tub with hot water. When the tub was full Riku undressed and got into the tub.
/ "I wonder what his parents are like". / Thought Riku as she applied the shampoo to her hair.
/ "Hopefully their nice people". / Thought Riku as she began washing the shampoo out of her hair.
Riku sat in the tub wondering all sorts of things about Dark's parents until she realized she had been sitting in the tub for almost an hour. Riku quickly stood from the bath and drained the tub.
When the tub was almost drained Riku turned on the shower and washed away the remaining soap that clung to her body.
Whaen Riku was finished bathing she came out of the tub and dried herself off with a towel. As soon as she was done drying herself off she dressed in her night clothes and brushed her hair.
Riku turned off the bathroom lights and left through the door. Riku walked a few paces and saw Risa waiting outside her bedroom door looking a bit distressed.
"Risa"? Asked Riku as she walked to her doorway.
"Hi Riku ,sorry about this morning". Said Risa as she fumbled with her fingers.
"It's okay Risa". Said Riku as she smiled warmly at Risa.
"Are you going to bed"? Questioned Risa.
"Yeah I have to go to bed early tonight because I'm supposed to meet Dark's family tomorrow". Replied Riku as she walked into her bedroom and sat on the bed.
"Okay then , good night". Said Risa as she left the room.
Riku tucked herself into bed and soon sleep claimed her as she drifted off to sleep.
Dark's Pov
"Dammit". Said Dark as he sat in his bed.
/ "What the hell am going to do now". / Thought Dark as he put his right hand on his forehead in distress.
/ "What am going to do if my parents freak her out" / Thought Dark as he fell back onto the bed.
/ "I guess I'll just have to try to get them to try and act normal". / Thought Dark as he fell asleep.
Riku's Pov ( Morning )
Riku opened her eyes slowly as the sun filtered through the pastel blue curtains. Riku sat up in her bed and rubbed her eyes.
Riku got out of bed and went to her dresser to grab out something to wear. Riku pulled out a pair of jean shorts that went to her mid thigh , a black long sleeve shirt with the word Azumano in dark blue cursive and the shirts collar the same dark blue , and a dark blue cap to finish the look.
Riku went into the bathroom and changed into her clothes. After she finished changing she brushed her hair and held onto the cap to put on for later.
Riku turned off the bathroom lights and went into the kitchen. Riku sat down at the table and ate her breakfast. When she was done eating she washed up and sat on the couch watching the television.
Riku watched the T.V. for about an hour and then got up to leave to the palace. She put on a pair of plain white socks and shoes and headed out.
When she got out she got outside she put on the cap and started walking to the palace.
Dark's Pov
Dark looked at the clock waiting for Riku to arrive. Dark was already dressed. Dark wore a pair of black baggy pants that looked exactly like the one he wore the other day and a plain white dress shirt that had the top buttons undone on purpose. Dark also wore a simple silver chain around his neck and black shoes.
Dark sat on the couch in boredom as he stared at the clock willing it to move faster.
"I'm so freaking bored"! He shouted out loud.
His voice echoed throughout the palace as he sat there and put his right arm on the arm rest and leaned his against it as he still sat there waiting for Riku's arrival.
"Dark what time is she supposed to arrive"? Asked Dark's mother.
Dark's mother was average in height with long wavy brown hair that flowed freely. Her eyes were large and a deep blue/purple color and her skin was a very light color her skin looked almost pale but she looked very young for thirty years old.
She wore a simple white long sleeved shirt , a light pastel purple skirt that went to her ankles and white high heels that were just half an inch high.
"She's supposed to arrive soon". Replied Dark.
"What was her name"? Asked Dark's mother as she sat down next to Dark.
"Her name's Riku Harada". Replied Dark.
"Riku,that sounds like a nice name". Said Darks father as he walked in".
Dark's father looked just like Dark except the older appearance and black hair.
Dark's father wore black pants and a black shirt. He also looked young for him being thirty-two years old.
"I swear,don't you guys ever get old"? Asked Dark as he leaned his head back and looked at the ceiling.
"You guys don't look like a married couple you look like your newlyweds". Said Dark as he looked at his parents.
Riku's Pov
/ "Almost there". / Thought Riku as she saw the palace come into view.
When she reached the palace gates she saw the palace guards and told them that the King requested to see her. The guards let her through and she walked to he entrance of the palace.
When she got into the palace she saw a maid and asked her where Dark and his family were.
"I'll take you to them". Replied the maid as she led Riku to the room where Dark and his parents were waiting.
Normal Pov
"Finally". Said Dark as he got up from the couch.
"Hi I'm Riku".Said Riku as she stuck out her hand for Dark's mother to shake.
"Hi , it's nice to meet you I'm Dark's mother you can call Mrs.Mousy". Said Dark's mother as she acted like an excited child and shook Riku's hand.
"I'm Dark's father,you can call me Mr.Mousy". Said Dark's father as he held out his hand to her.
"It's nice to meet you Mr.Mousy". Said Riku as she shook his hand.
"Quit ignoring me"! Shouted Dark as his face showed a comical expression.
Riku and Dark's mother started laughing uncontrolably at his expression.
"Quit laughing!" Shouted Dark as he started to chase after Riku.
Riku ran from Dark but tripped and fell over.
Bam!
Riku was on the floor and Dark was trying to stop himself from running into Riku but couldn't stop because his momentum was to strong.
Crash!
Dark had tripped over Riku and landed next to her on the floor.
"You pervert"! Yelled Riku as she noticed his hand around her waist.
"Wait it's not what you think honestly"! Dark shouted as he put up his hands in defense.
Whap!
Riku had slapped him across the face and was blushing slightly at the earlier body contact.
"Oh , dear". Said Dark's mother as she put her hand up to her mouth and started laughing nervously at what had just happened.
"Would you give the slapping a rest already"! Shouted Dark as he pointed an acusing finger at Riku.
"Well it's your fault for being such a pervert all the time"!Shouted Riku as she pointed her finger at him.
"My fault? Your the one who keeps slapping me"! Shouted Dark as he got up from the floor and moved his face just inches away from Riku's face.
"There see? You were being a pervert again shouted Riku as she hit him in the head with her head.
After Riku's violent attack Dark had fallen backwards and was now lying on the floor with swirls in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry"! Shouted Riku as she bowed to his parents.
"Don't worry about it he'll be fine". Said Dark's father as he sweatdropped and scratched his head nervously.
"Here Riku why don't we all have a seat and talk for a bit". Said Dark's mother as she sat down on the couch and motioned for her to sit down.
Riku followed and sat down next to her after she had pulled the unconcious Dark onto th couch along with her.
"So Riku how old are you"? Asked Mrs.Mousy.
"I'm fourteen". Answered Riku as she shifted in her seat.
"Really?I thought you would be the same age as Dark". Said Mrs.Mousy.
"That means she's younger than Dark by three years".Said Mr.Mousy.
"So he's seventeen"? Questioned Riku.
"You mean you didn't know how old he is"? Asked his parents as they looked at her in shock.
"No,why"? Asked Riku nervously.
"This won't do". Said Mrs.Mousy as she put her hand on her forehead in distress.
"What won't do"? Asked Riku.
"Well you see , when Dark is eighteen he must inherit the royal throne with his wife and his birthday is coming in December". Explained Mrs.Mousy.
"So your saying he has to find someone to marry by December"? Asked Riku.
"What do you mean by find?He's already decided to marry you officially". Said Mrs.Mousy.
"But I thought it wasn't finalized. And he didn't mention anything to me! Shouted Riku.
"Well he's already decided so it's to late to change things now". Said Mr.Mousy.
"Are you saying I have to marry him"! Shouted Riku.
"That's right dear". Said Dark as he hugged Riku from behind the couch.
"No way"! Shouted Riku.
