7. She hit me first!:

---

Len was brought to a room where both families were seated at a large table, they all sat on the floor, on comfortable cushions. He was seated next to her, he was getting nervous but that was only because she started to play with the knife that was close by her hands, thankfully her mother took it away before she could snatch it.

"Len, meet Miku Hatsune, this is your new fiance. She is two years younger than you, but don't worry she'll come around." his father had said sternly, staring at Len with two cold blue eyes through the long tips of his blond bangs.

Len gulped softly but nodded, Miku was her name huh?

Len, Miku, and Rin were allowed to play outside in the palace gardens for a while, but Rin got called back in because they had to tell her something also. Len and Miku were left to play alone.

The blond was nervous, for this was his future wife, and his future wife was now attempting to climb a big fallen log. "Uhm, I don't think you should--" before he could continue his warning, she was about to fall on her bottom from the log, panicking, he reached out to grab her, but she had caught herself in time. He let a sigh of relief slip from his lips.

"Come Miku, come down now--OW!" Len bit his lip distracting himself from the pain from the bruise that was now forming on his head, "You hit me!"

Miku looked down on him, she was sitting atop the log, giving him a taunting look. Len squinted, lashing out a bit of anger on her, he bonked her on the head, a bit too hard for the girl had screamed out crying for her mother, the two mothers rushed over to see what all the noise was about.

"Len! You shouldn't have hit Miku!" his mother scolded him, but he pouted and crossed his arms stubbornly.

"She hit me first!" He accused defensively.

"That's no reason why you should hit a girl--come now Miku, would you like some green tea biscuits?" Miku nodded happily, taking both maidens' hands and now walking back to the palace.

Len collapsed onto the floor, his legs and arms crossed, he scowled angrily. Rin walked up to him, her face matching his perfectly, he raised a brow, "What's up with you?"

"Dad's got me one of those stupid fiances too." she mumbled, joining him in his little stubborn circle.

"Fiancee's suck."

"Yup."

The twins nodded in agreement, they both smiled happily with their final decision on the matter.
