Mini Storm #1

Unexpected Love

Chapter 1

It had been about five days since the destruction of Diachi and his so called "indestructible fortress" and as it looked everyone was getting re-situated with their lives. It was taking a bit longer than Akio had planned but day by day more homes and markets were being brought back to their former glory with the help of the royal witches. By using only one spell they could rebuild a single building within a few hours by letting time rewind around the structure. It was a slow process but sooner or later everyone would have their homes back.

As for the gang they were off doing there own thing, mostly enjoying the last two days of the festival they had left before they had to leave. There was one however that decided to take a break from his friends to be with himself on the calm beach. The sun was up, the sky was crystal clear, and all he could hear were the lyrics to the songs on his music player. It wasn't that he didn't want to be around his friends, but for how loud Naomi could get, for how wild Diataro and Gino could be, and god only know where Oshira, his sister and Salena were, he just wanted some time all to himself. No disturbances just peace and quiet.

"That's it the apocalypse, whoa. I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones. To make my systems blow. Welcome to the new age, to the new age. Welcome to the new age, to the new age. " he sung along to as he relaxed in his chair.

With the sound of the incoming waves and the people walking up and down the beach it felt good that he didn't have worry about some moron trying to take over the world. For once since they arrived they could all relax and just enjoy the festival without having to worry about being killed. It felt nice to sit out under the sun and not have to worry about anything.

He was in the middle of the song when he felt something on his stomach. Whatever it was it had some weight to it. He couldn't see it though due to his sunglasses so once he removed his headphones he pulled his glasses off to find that Minami was sitting on his stomach...in a bikini...what?

"Howdy." she greeted as she sat there without a care in the world.

"Uh yeah, howdy?" he replied back as he tried to figure out why she was sitting on his stomach.

Once he looked down at his tummy though his face lit up when he saw what kind of bottoms she was wearing. He couldn't hold it any longer as electricity shot up from his body and gave her a good shock. If there was one thing to never do to an electro it was surprise them by being in a skimpy bikini like that.

"Ahhh what was that for?!" she exclaimed as she jumped back to her feet while the electricity made her skin tingle.

"Hey you were the one straddling my stomach." he argued as he got up from his seat.

Lucky for her she had jumped off him just before she could be hit by the blast, but a bit of his electricity did seem to cling to her arms. She knew he didn't mean it though, after all the same thing had almost happened the previous year at Yokai Academy. As she brushed the sand off from her arms and legs they heard someone approaching them, someone all too familiar.

"Hey did you find him yet?"

From the bushes came Magi as well as Destra, both were dressed in rather casual wear so why wasn't she?

"Oh yeah, I found him alright." she replied as her eyes turned to her electric friend.

"Great so let's go."

"Whoa wait, go where? In case you couldn't tell I was relaxing until someone surprised me." he replied as his eyes met hers.

"Oh don't be a grump just follow us. It's really interesting and I think you two may love it."

Well why not? What possible situation could he possibly get them into? A gang fight? A street fight? Whatever it was he wanted to show them it must have really peaked his interest. There seemed to be more people at the festival than usual as they entered the festival grounds. Most of the stands had been rebuilt quite nicely and even the Ferris Wheel had been rebuilt by a few of the witches. It was truly amazing what they could do when they combined their powers to work together.

"So what's this that you wanted to show us?" asked Minami.

"Oh you will see right about...now."

When they stopped they saw only one open stand, one that read "The Love Shack" on the sign above it.

"Well I'm outta here." said Ryo.

But just when he began walking away he felt Minami grab his jacket hood. Something told him she really really wanted to try the stand out, maybe it was the puppy dog eyes she was giving green eyes just stared and stared at him until eventually he caved.

"Alright let's see what this is about." he says as he steps next to her.

From the sound of the name though they weren't sure what to expect from it. That was until another familiar face popped up from behind the wooden structure.

"Maloni?"

"Oh hello, would you three like to try out my booth? It's free of charge and all you have to do is give me a single strange of your hair."

"A strand of our hair? For what exactly?" asked Destra.

"If you give me them then you will see."

Well they mine as well get it over with. Once each one of them pulled off a strand of their hair she placed them in a row along side each other before took a deep breathe. Once she held out her hands a small orange barrier began surrounding the pieces of hair.

"What with the barrier?" asked Ryo.

"Eh they can be a bit...unpredictable when they arrive."

When they? This couldn't lead to anything good. Although it was kind of interesting to see their hairs stand up before they all burst into a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared though they all were dumbfounded as to what they saw. Inside the barrier stood four little chibi versions of themselves, except they were in their true forms.

"You see by using a piece of your DNA I can create these little guys which are drawn to those who are could be your soul mate. Could, it's not one hundred percent accurate. Oh looks like mini Ryo is already swinging away."

It was just too weird. He had created his own clones before but not something this strange. Although it was kind of cute as they watched the mini electro approach the chibi Minami. She looked rather shy when he knelt down on one knee and pulled out a rose from his pocket.

"Where did he get never mind."

At this point logic was out the window. Although it was quite sweet how he offered her the rose. Those little cheeks of hers just lit up before she accepted his gift. They didn't stop there though for as soon as she accepted the flower she grabbed him by his little jacket and pulled him in for a big smooch. Yep, their faces were as bright as two red Christmas lights when they saw the two start smooching away.

"Whoa Ryo you dog."

"Quiet please..." he said as he massaged his temples.

That turned out more awkward than he thought it would have been, but the fun didn't stop there. They got quite a shock when they looked over at Magi's little self. Not only was he kissing mini Destra but they both looked as if they were about to do it.

"Wow, I've never seen any of them go that far."

All he could do was stare and stare at the two as they laid on top of each other. He wasn't the only one though for Destra was the one feeling the most awkward. How could he be her potential soul mate? He was so strange and weird. He wasn't even a black blood user. How could he of all people be her soul mate?

"Excuse me but how accurate are these?" she asked.

"Oh their pretty accurate, but as I said their not one hundred percent true."

If it was true and he was her soul mate then what did they both have in common that connected them?
