Hey everybody! I will be going to the Kawaii Kon in Honolulu, Hawaii with my family and my friend on April 27-29 2007! Therefore, I decided I should update because this story is apparently my best one, and I have been neglecting it recently for my other fan fictions... Anyways, I'm very close to 200 reviews! One more to go! Thank you for all your support, I hope to bring you the next chapter soon!

Arranged Marriage

Chapter Twenty-Four

"What—what is this?" Riku and Dark heard.

They immediately parted, and spotted Dark's mother.

"I forgot… Mother is not exactly fond of public showings of affection…" Dark whispered to Riku.

"How do you know this?" Riku asked.

"The boyfriend she had in high school warned me about this because he hugged mom in front of people. In that exact second he got dumped and thrown out of the kingdom…"

Dark's mother looked slightly enraged, but that did not mean that they would not die… Or have something equally horrible done to them…

"Excuse us, mother. We will be going now." Said Dark, as he stood and gave Riku a hand, nervous the whole time.

"Dark?" His mother said, her voice overly sweet, "I thought that you were such a good boy. Maybe I should start letting you think more for yourself, huh?" She said, stopping Dark in his tracks and grasping the collar of his shirt, slightly choking him.

Dark laughed nervously, "No, mother. I think I like the way things are now." Said Dark, looking away while sweat dropping.

"Oh." Said Dark's mother, sounding as if she understood, letting Dark relax, "But I don't think so." She added evilly, as soon as Dark had calmed.

Dark grew more and more nervous as the seconds dragged on, and nobody spoke.

A few more seconds passed, and an odd noise could be heard, "Ah, the guards. Why I ask them about what to do?" She said, running off toward them right after she gave Dark a look that said 'If you move I'm going to kill you eventually'.

Dark and I watched in slight horror of what would happen. Today was not a good day.

Dark's mother came back with a devious grin, "I have decided to put you all in one room."

"But we already are… Aren't we?" Riku asked, thinking that she was referring to Dark and herself only.

"No, I meant that I will be putting you, Dark, Daisuke, Satoshi, and I've sent an invitation to your sister Risa, also." She explained, smiling happily, as she turned and left shouting about going to the room on the third floor of the palace.

"What's so special about the room on the third floor or whatever?" Riku asked.

Dark was leaning against the wall looking faint, "That's the smallest room in the palace. It happens to be closet sized…" Mumbled Dark.

"Closet sized… Well that shouldn't be too bad, considering that your closets are about half the size of my room." Riku said.

"No, when I say closet sized…"

That Evening (In front of the room on the third floor)

"I mean closet sized…" Dark said, looking at the tiny room that actually was the size of a regular closet. The kind of closet that opened through sliding doors though.

Dark sighed, "Hey, at least we don't have to kill anyone for more space." Muttered Riku.

"Yeah, but still…" Whined Dark.

"Oh, be quiet! I cannot believe I am going to say this, but I like it better when you're perverted! This whining is driving me crazy, and I do not think that Daisuke or Satoshi are going to appreciate it as much as I do, in fact, Satoshi is probably going to appreciate it less than I do…" Shouted Riku, muttering the last part.

"Really?" Asked Dark.

"Yes really. Satoshi is probably going to kill you later." Replied Riku.

"No, not that. The part right before that." Dark said, waving his hand in an odd motion.

"Uhh… Oh! You mean about—" Riku's face grew red.

"Yeah, that." Said Dark, a smirk appearing on his face, "So, you must really love me by now then, huh? I mean, that almost sounded like a dare to me." Dark said, his voice growing slightly seductive, as he put his index to Riku's lips, winking.

End of Chapter Twenty-Four

I hope you liked this chapter even though it's short! I'm planning on completely revising and editing this when I'm done, but I'm so lazy! I probably won't, but I might do it slowly. Like, one chapter at time.

By the way, would anyone happen to be going to Kawaii Kon? Anyways, thank you for reading, please review! (Anyone getting Pokemon Diamond or Pearl? I heard it was good, but I can't decide which one to get!)
