Hey everybody! This chapter took me longer than I expected because I was wondering what would happen in Riku won or lost. So in the end this is what I decided!
Arranged Marriage Chapter Ninetee
Normal POV
" So what kind of twisted guessing game is it now? " Asked Riku, crossing her arms.
" Hmmmm... " Mumbled Dark as he thought about what kind of guessing game would be good.
" Would you hurry up? " Asled Riku impatiently, tapping her foot.
" Fine we'll roll dice, and we'll guess what number the dice will be on. The one who guesses the number closest to the number on the dice wins. The first to win ten times is the winner. " Explained Dark.
" ...Dammit! " Shouted Riku.
"What? " Questioned Dark.
" I've played that game beforee! And every time I didm I lost! " Shouted Riku.
" Every time? " Asked Dark, wondering how she could always lose to a game that includes practically no skill.
" Yes, every time! " Shouted Riku bitterly, through gritted teeth.
A few moments passed as Riku kept her jaw clenched, and Dark held his stomach, trying his hardest not to laugh. But his attempts ended in failure as he burst out laughing.
" I can't beleive it! How can you lose EVERY TIME in a game that involves practically NO SKILL? " Shouted Dark, nearly falling over in laughter.
" No skill? Well excuse me for not living up to thine's expectations! " Shouted Riku, her hands on her hips.
" Your excused. " Said Dark, suddenly sitting in his chair with his legs crossed, his right arm on the arm rest, his head leaning against the palm of his hand, while smiling.
" Just shut your mouth already! " Screeched Riku, unable to caontroll her nger any longer.
" Sorry, but I think I'm going to keep it the way it is. " Said Dark mockingly, as he sat up retreiving the dice from the maid who appeared at the doorway.
" Thank you verry much. " Said Dark, looking at the maid.
" You're very welcome Mr. Mousy. " Said the maid, smiling.
" Hmmm... " Mumbled Dark, thoughtfully.
" Is there something wrong Mr. Mousy? " Asked the maid tilting her head to the side.
" Not really, but, are you new here? " Asked Dark.
" Yes, I am. My name is Towa. " Replied Towa, looking up at Dark.
" Well it's nice to meet you Towa. I like the way you dress, so do you think you can help Riku out in her future days living here? " Asked Dark, exaggerating the word, future.
" I'd be happy to, but right now I must be going. " Said Towa, bowing, then walking away quickly.
" What the HELL was that supposed to mean? " Asked Riku, clenching her fist as she walked closer to Dark.
" Exactly what I said. " Replied Dark, as he returned to his seat, and motioned for Riku to take a seat across from him.
" Hmph... " Said Riku, as she took her seat.
" Ready to play? " Asked Dark.
" Yeah. " Replied Riku.
" Okay, you guess first. " Said Dark.
" Okay, how about...eleven? " Said Riku.
" I choose... seven. " Said Dark, rolling one dice, giving the other to Riku, for her to roll.
" A two ? " Said Riku, worriedly as she saw the outcome of Dark's roll.
/ " I'm doomed... " / Thought Riku glumly, as she rolled her dice, knowing that it was impossible for her to win that round, as she rolled her dice.
" One. " Said Dark.
" You win. " Said Riku, as she bagan to pick up her dice again.
" It's a tie. " Stated Dark.
" A tie? That's impossible, I'm seven numbers off, and you're three numbers off, so you win. " Said Riku, all the while wondering what Dark was thinking.
" You could think of it that way, or you could think of it this way. " Said Dark, grabbing a scrap of paper and pencil off of the table, writing something on its surface.
( Paper )
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
" What are you doing? " Asked Riku, looking at the paper.
" Here. " Said Dark, turning the paper so that Riku could look at it right side up instead of up side down.
" What is this? " Asked Riku, not understanding the meaning of his writing.
" Look, this is the number the dices made right? " Said Dark, putting brackets around the three.
( Paper )
1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 910, 11, 12
" Yeah... " Said Riku slowly.
" And these are the numbers we picked right? " Asked Dark, putting the numbers in parenthesis.
( Paper )
1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, ( 7 ), 8, 9, 10, ( 11 ), 12
" Right. " Said Riku.
" Now, look carefully. The numbers 4, 5, and 6 are the numbers that seperate my 7 and the 3. So, that's 3 numbers apart. Then, if you go backwards, 2, 1, and 12, that makes us both 3 numbers apart. " Explained Dark.
" Oh, I get it now. But, that's a little confusing, so let's just keep it the way it's usually played. We can count the first round as practice. " Said Riku, hoping that Dark would allow it, so that she had a better chance of winning.
" Okay, but now it's for real. " Said Dark.
" Okay, I choose... seven. " Said Riku.
" I choose nine. " Said Dark, rolling his dice, as Riku did her's.
One dice said 4 and the other said 2, so the total was 6.
" Yay, I won! " Said Riku, cheerfully.
( A/N : I don't want to write every detail so I did this )
Riku ) 3 wins
Dark ) 9 wins
2 ties
" All I have to do is win one more time you know? " Said Dark, breaking the silence that had been there since the game had begun.
" I'm not stupid, so don't tell me what I already know. " Said Riku, a fire burning in her eyes as she thought carefully about her next guess.
" Come on Riku, you know there's no point in thinking about what to guess, since this game is nothing but luck. " Said Dark, relaxing in his chair.
" Well sorry, but my luck is so crappy that I DO have to think about what to guess. " Said Riku.
" I guess you have a point. " Said Dark, sitting up straight.
" Okay, I choose...six. " Said Riku.
" I choose three. " Said Dark, rolling his dice.
Dark's dice hit the table, and the number that appeared was a one, while Riku's dice...
