Aranged Marriage Chapter Eight
Recap Of Chapter Seven"No , I don't love Dark! Daisuke , I love you!" Shouted Riku.
Riku covered her mouth in shock of her words as Daisuke stared at her with eyes widening in realization of her words.
Daisuke and Riku's Pov
"Miss Riku." Said Daisuke as his eyes returned to normal.
Daisuke closed his eyes for a moment then spoke softly and clearly.
"Miss Riku , I do love you but I said I would challenge Dark for your love so I'll keep my word and play a fair game. Said Daisuke as he got up from his seat.
Riku looked up at Daisuke and closed her eyes before she spoke.
"Your right. I'm the one who came up with this game , so I'll play it fair too. It wouldn't be fair to Dark." Said Riku getting up from her seat.
Daisuke smiled a real smile this time and waved his hand as he exited the gardens into the city.
Riku's Pov
/ "I want Daisuke to win so I can be with him but I feel bad about Dark. I know he loves me and wants to be with me but I love Daisuke." / Thought Riku as she wandered around the gardens.
Riku wandered around the gardens and found wiz.
"Hi Wiz how have you been?" Asked Riku as she smiled at Wiz.
"Kyuu! Kyu! Kyuuu!" Replied Wiz with what seemed to be a smile.
Riku smiled at Wiz but soon her smile turned into a sad expression as she began speaking.
"You're so lucky Wiz , you don't have to worry that much. You can be almost carefree. I wish I could be like that." Said Riku in an almost silent tone as she pet Wiz on the head and started walking off into the other parts of the garden.
Daisuke's Pov
/ "Wonder how this game will turn out." / Thought Daisuke as he wandered the streets of the town.
Daisuke looked at all the different markets and peaple passing by until a certain person caught his eye.
"Huh?" Said Daisuke as he ran over to the person that caught his eye.
"Miss Riku?" Asked Daisuke as he looked at the girl.
"No , I'm Risa. I'm Riku's younger twin sister." Said Risa as she looked at the boy.
"Oh , I'm sorr--- What! Shouted Daisuke shocked to hear she had a sister.
"I'm Riku's twin sister Risa. How do you know Riku?" Asked Risa suspiciously.
"Well , ummm... I'm Dar --I mean the prince'sbrother and well , I met your sister recently." Said Daisuke pausing in between words.
"Oh , I see. Well it's nice to meet you ummm..." Risa paused.
"I'm Daisuke , it's a pleasure to meet you." Said Daisuke holding out his hand.
Risa took his hand and they shook hands gently before letting go.
"Would you like a smoothie?" Asked Daisuke pointing to a small cart nearby.
"Sure." Replied Risa returning Daisuke's smile.
Daisuke led her to tha cart and awaited her order.
"What would you like?" Asked Daisuke.
"I'll have strawberry." Replied Risa.
"Two strawberry smoothies." Ordered Daisuke.
The man quickly made the smoothies and handed them to Daisuke. Daisuke handed over the money and walked over to a small bench to sit on.
"So how's my sister?" Asked Risa taking the smoothie from Daisuke.
"She's doing well." Said Daisuke taking a sip from his smoothie.
"When do you think she's going to be able come home?" Asked Risa turning to face Daisuke.
"I can't say for sure." Replied Daisuke.
"Oh. Umm , Daisuke?" Asked Risa.
"Yes?" Asked Daisuke turning his attention to Risa.
"Would you like to hang out sometime?" Asked Risa smiling.
"Sure." Replied Daisuke smiling.
"Would you like to come to the palace sometime?" Asked Daisuke.
"Really?" Asked Risa excitedly.
"Of course , if you want I can take you there now to visit your sister." Said Daisuke getting up from his seat.
"Let's go then." Said Risa as she got up from her seat.
Daisuke started walking in the direction of the palace along with Risa following. After a long silence the palace finally came into view.
"Wow it's so beautiful." Said Risa as her eyes became fixated on the palace.
Risa payed no attention to where she was going and ---
Risa fell over and was bracing herself to hit the ground but instead she fell into Daisuke's arms. Daisuke had cought Rika in his arms and his face was so close to hers that his heart began to beat faster. Daisuke quickly pulled away from her his heart beating faster than ever. A blush covered his face as he became flustered.
/ "What's wrong with me!" / Daisuke yelled mentally.
/ "I love miss Riku , not Risa! Errggghhhh!" / Daisuke shouted at himself mentally.
Risa was looking at Daisuke as he had his hands on his head and acted very strangely.
"Daisuke are you okay?" Asked Risa looking at Daisuke with a worried expression.
"Uwahh? Oh , I'm fine." Said Daisuke waving his hand around in the air.
"Are you sure?" Asked Risa suspicious of his answer.
"Yes I'm sure , don't worry about me." Said Daisuke as he started to walk faster than before.
Risa started walking faster to keep up with him and whan the got to the palace gates the guards cleared a path for them.
They entered through the door and went to Riku's room. Riku had returned from the garden and sat on the bed boredly looking around the room in a half dazed look.
Daisuke and Risa stared at her actions until Riku snapped out of her daze.
" Wha--what are you doing here Risa!" Asked Riku shooting up from her spot on the bed.
"I came to visit you." Said Risa as she went over to her sister smiling.
"How did you get inside the palace?" Asked Riku not noticing Daisuke standing in the doorway.
"Daisuke brought me here." Replied Risa pointing to Daisuke still standing i the doorway.
"Hi." Said Daisuke as he walked next to Risa.
"Hi Daisuke." Replied Riku.
"Umm , I think I'll leave you two for a while." Said Daisuke as he left the room.
Riku and Risa's Pov
"Riku , how has your relationship with Dark been going so far?" Asked Risa sitting on the bed.
"It's better then before I guess." Said Riku joining her sister on the bed.
"Really? I didn't think it would work out so you had me worried." Said Risa releived.
"Why would you be worried about my relationship with Dark?" Asked Riku slightly suspicious.
"Well , I talked with mom while you were gone and I realized that a persons social status or how they look has nothing to do with who you truly love. If you love a person it should be because you just want to be with them and not for money or for how they look. And now I think I've fallen in love." Said Risa.
"Your right about that Risa. But who is it that you've fallen in love with?" Asked Riku turning all her attention to Risa.
"Daisuke." Replied Risa in a soft and loving tone.
Right at that moment Riku's world went into chaos and her thoughts were anything but calm...
