Arranged Marriage Chapter Seventeen
/ "This is going to be difficult. They all have the same scores! How do I get Riku and Daisuke to speak? " / Thought Risa biting her lip as she watched them.
/ "I need them to say something , anything! I need to win this game! If I don't I'll never get the necklace back!" / Thought Riku as she watched Dark with his smirk and Daisuke with distress.
Mio's POV
Mio ran down the hallway as fast as she could with tears streaming down her face until she fell onto the floor.
Normal POV
Satoshi walked into the room and sat next to Risa.
Dark started to stare at Satoshi as he sat and Riku watched as she suddenly felt the tension rising.
Dark continued to stare at Satoshi but his attention was on something else completely.
Dark's hand was making it's way towards Riku's waist and when his hand reached the other side he pulled her to his side and smirked when she screamed.
"Aaauugh!" Screamed Riku.
Risa and Satoshi sweatdropped as they watched what came next.
"You PERVERT!" Yelled Riku as she slapped him on the face.
/ "Must not speak! Must not speak! Must not...Damn that slap hurt. No! Must not speak!" / Dark yelled in his mind as he held his hand over the slap mark.
"Riku , I'm afraid you've lost this round." Said one of the maids.
"Ughhh..." Groaned Riku as she sat next to Satoshi.

Mio's POV
Mio lay on the ground and looked ahead of her.
"That's the necklace I took from Riku..." Thought Mio as she slowly reached out to grab it.
Mio closed her hand around the necklace and sat up. She opened her hand and looked at it carefully.
/ "R, H?" / Thought Mio looking at it.
/ "Why does she care so much about this anyways?" / Thought Mio as she stood and began walking towards the living room.
When Mio reached the room she noticed that Riku was sitting on the side.
/ "I knew it. She did want to lose." / Thought Mio as she sat on a chair next to Riku.
"Hey , Harada. Did you lose?" Asked Mio.
"Yeah , but I tried to win okay?" Said Riku glaring at Mio.
"So what are the scores then?" Asked Mio.
"The score is Daisuke , 2/3 and Dark 2/3 , so it's tied. The next one who speaks wll be the loser." Explained Riku.
"Harada , I hope you realize this but , this game could go on forever at this rate , and there's not enough time to finish the game before it's time for him to inherit the royal throne." Said Mio.
Riku had a shocked expression on her face as she suddenly realized how little time was left.
/ "I forgot , his birthday is in December and there's only a few days left!" / Thought Riku worriedly.
"If you want , we could change it so that the loser of this game will be out of the games completely to speed up the process of the game. And since you won the previous game you can still be in." Said Mio.
"Can I really do that?" Asked Riku.
"Yes , but remember , if Daisuke's out of the game you have a smaller chance of winning , but if Dark's out then you win." Said Mio.
"I'll do it." Replied Riku.
Mio had a suprised look on her face but just shrugged after and got off of the chair to explain the new rules of the game.
"Whaat?" Said Daisuke in surprise.
Mio sweatdropped and soon Daisuke froze up as he realized his mistake.
"Heh , I win!" Yelled Dark as he smirked.
"Ughhhh..." Groaned Daisuke.
"Daisuke you idiot!" Shouted Riku as she ran up to him.
"How could you make such a stupid mistake at such an important time?" Asked Riku , grabbing him by the collar and shaking him back and forth furiously.
"I-I'm sorry Miss Riku , but I just couldn't help it!" Said Daisuke , tears in his eyes.
"Fine , if you say so." Said Riku harshly as she threw a chibi Daisuke onto the floor crying.
"Looks like it's just you and me." Said Riku looking at Dark.
"You know , now that Daisuke's gone we have to find another game." Said Dark.
"Yeah I know." Said Riku.
"So how do we decide?" Asked Dark.
"Well we need to make it a shortergame because we only have a little time left before your birthday so , how about a board game?" Asked Riku.
"A board game? Umm , this game is deciding whether you marry me or not and it's going to be decided by a board game?" Asked Dark in disbelief.
"Yeah, so what?" Asked Riku.
"Well , it's just odd..." Said Dark."
"Whatever , anyways how does checkers sound?" Asked Riku.
"Fine..." Said Dark.
"Should we play today?" Asked Riku.
"Yeah , since it's just a board game I guess we could." Replied Dark.
"Should I retreive the game your majesty?" Asked one of the maids.
"Yeah." Said Dark as he motioned for Riku to sit down.
"Hey , Harada can I talk to you for bit?" Asked Mio.
"Okay..." Said Riku following Mio a few yards away from Dark and the others.
"So what is it?" Asked Riku.
"Here." Said Mio handing over the necklace.
"Why are you giving this back?" Asked Riku.
"Because I got fired , so I can't stay in the palace. And I can't see Dark because I know he's going to win this round and the next." Said Mio.
"What do you mean? How would you know that he's going to win?" Asked Riku.
"Because , he's the best in the palace when it comes to board games." Replied Mio.
"No. Way." Said Riku in disbeleif.
