Hello, people! Here's the long-awaited chapter three of Forced Marriage but before we begin, I want make a dedication/shout out to a few of my friends on DA as well as here.

Annamay: Congrats again on the good news about your cousin and your moving out! ^_^

AntiSacrement, as promised, for guessing who the couple in my new pic is, you get a chapter in your honor! ^_^

You too, Zeto-Kun. Also, I wanted to do something as thanks for letting me use your bases for my pics! Thanks again! ^_^

Also, a big shout out to The Hero Without A Sword! Thanks for reviewing and favoriting! ^_^

And to everyone else on I know on DA and here on as well, thank you for looking/reading, faving and commenting on my art and fanfics. I really appreciate it! ^_^

Anyway, school started for me last Monday, so like everyone else, I'm going to be busy with high-school life again only this time as a sophomore and with a 7-period schedule. 7 class periods=shorter time. Shorter time= HELL(ISH)! I'll be working on chapters during the week and uploading the finished chapters on the weekends so that way, we won't have a repeat of me forgetting the plot of the story and taking my sweet time on trying to remember what the hell it is(It took me a whole year and I just got it back this summer). Now, on with the chapter!

Disclamer: Go back to the first chapter and read it. Got a problem with it? Well, too bad.

Chapter Warning: Um, let's see....after what happened in the last chapter, there is going to be drama along with the usual stuff, so...prepare yourselves for a crazy chapter. Plus, I still haven't decided on a name for our favorite villain, so yeah....he's STILL nameless. So far, I have Eros, Yami, Alto and Amos for his name. If anyone in the audience has a better name, please leave a comment with your idea. Thank you! ^_^

Fanfic Warning: I think most of you guys already know what to look out for and I haven't gotten any flames so far, sooooo....I won't say anything this time. Yatta! ^_^ If you guys don't like the stuff on here, please leave and don't leave any comments on your way out. I'm on a really good streak here! ^_^

Chapter 3: Thoughts, Feelings and a Meeting

Rhythm sat in her SciLab office alone, stumming random notes on her beloved guitar. She still needed to calm down after what happened with Saito and the kidnapper. After that guy ecsaped, it took the whole NetPolice (i.e. all members of Blues' and Colonel's team, Sakura, Rock, her sisters, etc.) team force to chase after her, tackle her like she was the opposing team in the Super Bowl, pin her down and prevent her from murdering him! The nerve of him, hitting on her cousin like that and then trying to kiss him! Like she didn't have to deal with kind of stuff with her sisters! Well, she didn't have to worry about Sarah and Saphire; they were taken(Thank God)! Cali and Caly were way too busy for anyone right now although they did have boyfriends that were in the same boat as they are. She and Megan weren't really intrested in anyone and were too busy with life for dating. Besides the guys at the high-school were either taken, cheating on their girlfriends, gay, sexist, assholes, perverts, friend material, friends, rivals or just not a right match for them. Randy and Rapsody are too young to date and the boys at her school were just like the ones at theirs, not to mention if anyone look at her with ill intent, you bet she would came after them with whatever idem that would make a good weapon. People blame it on horemones, she(along with many others)blames it on genetics. Anyway...

"Damn...what am I going to do?", she said. "This is really bad."

This IS really bad. The Osaka Shrine Summer Festival was coming up soon and it was finally Saito's turn to do the traditional Water God Waltz. They've been practing the dance for months and he was really excited about it too... Rhythm shook her head quickly, throwing the idea to the deep depths of the Twilight Zone and beyond. No, she, Jukiaya "Rhythm" Hikari(that is her full given name by the way), was NOT going to let a girlnapping, shota-lolicon loving, flirting, stalking, peverted, son-of-a-bitching bachelor bastard ruin that for her cousin! Over her dead body, for real! She got up, walked over to Blues' office and kicked the door down. She slammed her hands down on his desk and glared at him.

"Blues, I need to talk to you and the others about this."

"Rhythm, we're having a meeting a few. Don't worry."

Rhythm, calm now, backed away from and looked at the damage she left in her wake.

"Ano..."

"It's fine. Someone's coming up to fix it in a while."

"Okay. I'll...uh...see myself out."

"Ju?"

"Hm?"

"Don't worry. We'll be there for you and Rock."

"I know, Blu. It's just hard on me, you know?" Rhythm's voice started to crack when she said this. Blues knew she was crying or about to cry. "I mean, our family nearly lost him to death when he was bearly starting to crawl. One day, I took him to the park and just sat there, looking at him. Many butterflies surrounded us and he tried to reach out to them. One landed on his face and he laughed. I laughed too and at the same time, I was crying. I was going to lose my cousin."

She finally broke down, sliding to the floor as tears fell from her face and on to the floor. Blues could only watch in silence. When she starts talking about what Rock's past was like for the family, it's best to leave her alone when she gets like this.

----------

The meeting was, well....like a Debate class at your school(A/N: If you don't have one, just think of a class that has most commotion ever). There a lot of ideas(i.e resolutions) and a LOT of arguments(i.e. cases). There was one in peticular that got nearly caused a massacre(well, not really, but it was pretty damn close to getting there!).

"What if we use Rock as bait and let the culprit take him therefore leading him to his base."

The one who had suggested that: Numberman.

The one who was againist it and said something: Blues.

The one who was nearly started the aforementioned massacre: Rhythm.

The one who put said navi in a straight jacket and chained her to the chair: Onix.

Thus, the current intertwined debate among the group began.

Resolution: Use Rock as bait and let the culprit take him and lead him to his base.

Affimative: Yes. It's a good idea. We should do that.

Negative: Hell no! It's crazy, not to mention suicidal! There has to be another way.

Rhythm, after being chained and such spoke first for the negative.

"WHAT KIND OF CRACK ARE YOU ON?! YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS?! EVEN IF WE DID THAT, IT WOULD TAKE TIME AND BY THEN, SAITO WOULD HAVE BEEN HYPNOTIZED LIKE THE VICTIMS, BECAME HIS LOVE SLAVE AND MARRIED OFF TO THE SON OF A BITCH, SO THINK BEFORE YOU SEND MY COUSIN TO THE GUILLOTINE!"

Negative: 1. Affirmative: 0. It was Blues' turn to have a say.

"She has a point. We would be falling right into his hands as well as losing Rock." I don't want that to happen. "The Hikari family lost him many times and at the same time had many close calls." We lost him many times, too and all those times, I always prayed for a miracle. I don't think we want to explain what happened to their child after we screwed up and lost him to our perp." Besides, I love him and I will be the one to take him down the altar as my wife.

Negative: 2. Affirmative: 0. Now to Tomahawk, who wanted to add on more fuel to the growing fire.

"Besides, I DOUBT that ANYONE wants to commit forced ritual suicide via Rhythm and Sakura."

Negative: 3. Affirmative: 0. He was right. Both girls had said at one time that if anything happened to Rock, they would force all those who were involed to commit riutal suicide, regardless of who they were. The remaining people took that as well as the two statments said earlier into consideration and blew the idea off in their own way. Thus, the meeting was over and fate chose the right time to send the peace down to the deepest pits of Hell in the worst way possible in the form of Rock coming in with a letter in his hand and a pink blush on his face. It was sealed with a blue heart on the back and on the front, it said: 'To Hikari Saito(Rockman), my sweet, little blueberry angel cake.' Rhythm and Blues both glared the letter while the other navis waited with bated breath.

To quote the Queen of Hearts, I say this: Heads are definately going roll in the next chapter...

Read and review, please. I'm sorry if it's a little bit shorter then usual. I'm going to continue with this, but I would like a bit more response from the audience. It's not fair for me to write this and put so much work it yet don't get a response from anybody. I know that many of you out there are busy with school and such, but really? This is crazy. You all have free time even if it's five minutes or even five seconds. Although, I love getting faved and the occasional comments, I would really love it if someone said something. I'm not complaining really, I'm just saying, "A little bit more feedback from the readers, please!". It's really fun writing this, honestly. You get into it so easily. So even without feedback, I won't stop writing this. Oh yeah, flames(if any)will be used to cook food.
