Yoh and his friends are from their way home from hanging out. While chatting about what they saw and did in the town, and while Horo Horo and Ren are fighting as usual while walking, they saw a girl who is the same age as them (except Ryu). She has a long, silky black hair and is really cute. She's sitting under the tree. Her eyes are closed. There are two other people behind her. A middle aged woman and an old man.

"four hundred ninety eight, four hundred ninety nine, FIVE HUNDRED!", she says in a very low voice.

The girl opened her eyes at the count of five hundred. Then, she saw Yoh.

"Dark brown hair, white shirt, wooden sandals, headphones..", she said in a low voice while looking at Yoh.

"It must be him.", said the middle aged woman behind her.

"Eh?", said Manta. Horo Horo bent and whispered to Manta. "Who are these weird people?", he whispered. "Who knows.", replied Manta.

The middle aged man suddenly said, "The crystal ball says it. He's the one. I'm sure of it."

Ren pointed his weapon (that came out of nowhere) to the strangers talking in soft voices. He's sure that they are talking about them (Yoh and the gang). "What are you guys talking about?"

"Oh, please. We're not enemies.", said the gentle girl with long, silky, black hair.

"You look suspicious.", said Ren frankly staring at them in an unfriendly manner.

"Let's hear them out first, Ren. There must be a good reason.", said Yoh to Ren with a grin tapping Ren's shoulder.

Ren put down his weapon. "Okay. I think there's nothing I can do.", Ren said. Yoh then gave a grin again.

"So, you want something from us?", said asked nicely.

She looked at Yoh. "No. Our only concern is you.." " and her.", said the middle aged woman looking at the young girl.

"Me? And her?", Yoh got confused.

"You are.. the one chosen by our crystal ball.", said the middle aged man.

"Chosen? As what? I really don't get it.", said Yoh scratching the back of his head.

"Anyway,", interrupted the girl. "Let me introduce ourselves to you first. I'm Kagami. ", she said. "and this is my mom, Kagura.", she looked at the middle aged woman. "And this is my granpa, Kenta."

"Asakura Yoh.", said Yoh. "Nice to meet you." "they are my friends."

"Tao Ren.", said Ren in a cold manner.

"Oyamada Manta"

"Horo Horo"

"Faust VIII"

"Bokuto no Ryu.", said Ryu flashing his eyes and raising his thumb. "Anyway, kawaichou, would you like to go out with me? We'll look for the best place and live happily for the rest of our lives.". Ryu blinked his left eye. (kawaichou means cutie or something. He has once addressed Maiden Jeanne)

"Eh? Sorry. But you are not the one chosen.", she said.

Ryu froze. He's crying for the girl's refusal.

"Chosen? If I remember correctly, you told us that Yoh is.. chosen by some crystal ball.", said Manta.

"Yes.", Kagami said. She looked at Yoh and gave him a sweet smile."Asakura Yoh, right?" "Yoh-kun, you are the one chosen to be my husband and continue our family bloodline.", she said.

"EHHHH?", everyone shouted. Their jaws are dropped.

"What the-", said Horo Horo.

"Hu.. hu.. husb.. husband?", said Yoh stammering. He still can't believe what he just heard.

"Anna-san will surely get mad if she knows about this.", Manta thought. Nervous.

"But.. Sorry. I can't be your husband or something like that.", said Yoh who sweat drops.

"But the crystal ball.. the will of the crystal ball..", Kagami said. "has never been disobeyed for many generations now."

"But how did you know it's Yoh?", asked Ren. There are many of us when you saw us. The ball lighted when we came. I saw it. How can you tell it's Yoh?"

"The signs. I was communicating with our ancestors through this ball.", Kenta said. "It says, white shirt, wooden sandals, and headphones. We'll see him if we go in the biggest tree in this forest, which is this one, and count 500."

"They do even have the count.. hehe..", said Chocolove.

"We heard that! Please don't mock the ball that has been the guide of our family for generations.", said Kagura, Kagami's mom.

"Uh—Sorry.", said Chocolove who got freightened.

"Anyway, Yoh-kun. Please.. Please be my husband.", Kagami said sweetly.

"I envy Master Yoh! Having two girls come after him to be his wife. He's really my master!", said Ryu proudly. "I, bokuto no Ryu shall become like master someday!". Face of determination seen on him.

"Girls? Does that mean he already has one?", Kagami asked with a sad expression.

"uh. Yes. He already has one.", said Manta.

"Is it true, Yoh-kun?", she asked.

"Uh. Yes, it is. That's why—", said Yoh.

"I see.", said Kagami who became sad about what she knew.

"But please think about it.", said Kagami's mom.

"Right. We'll meet you again about your answer. Better split with your other girl.", said the grand dad. The three disappeared.
