Soulmate's they're an interesting concept, everyone in the world is said to be born with one, but the form their bond may take can have many different forms. The most common one's are being born with a shared mark on your body, a Timer counting down to the moment the pair meet, the first words your soulmate says to you, or even something as simple as their name on your body. Some Marks can even show up after the pair meet like your eye's changing color to match your soulmates. Some don't even gain physical marks, some pairs can hear each other singing, or meet each other in their dreams. My parents were born with two parts of the same Image on their body that only became whole after they met, my father had the image of a book on his leg, & my mother had the title of his first book written on her's.

Me personally? I wasn't born with a Mark, so I could be considered one of those cases where you discover your soulmate after I've met them, but I don't really care. I've seen so many lives torn apart because someone meets their soulmate & another person cannot handle their loved one leaving them for someone they've just met. To me Being soulmates doesn't matter, I know who I love & there's nothing changing that. Ran is who I love, now all I have to do is convince her to try a relationship with me, which will be hard considering she's a hard core believer in soulmates being an absolute, even though her parents were soulmates & they constantly fight.

Now why am I bringing this up? Well I guess that's where this story began, the day I decided to attempt to convince Ran to try a relationship with me, the day we went to tropical land.

"Ouch". Ran winces as she looks down to her knee where the source of her pain came from as I sigh.

"Your soulmate is such a klutz Ran they always seem to be tripping over their own two feet". I say as we continue our way home from school. Feeling a chill go down my back I freeze & look over at Ran to see a sickly sweet smile on her Face. Uh oh.

"Shinichi". She is emotionless.

"Hai"? I ask knowing where this is going, and before I know it she's lunging a fist forward and it makes contact with the concrete pole turning part of it to rubble. Gulping I turn back to her slowly.

"Just because you don't believe in soulmates doesn't mean you should force your idea onto others". She scolds me as if talking to a little child.

"Sorry" I say not sorry at all for having my own beliefs before continuing. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you"? I ask silently praying for mercy from Rans fists. As we continue on our way back home

"Well if that's the case then take me to Tropical Land"! Ran says suddenly as I turn back to her.

"Huh"? I Ask surprised wondering where that came from

"Well I recently won a karate tournament and to celebrate the occasion you'll take me to Tropical Land". She explains as I start to think about it, I can use this chance to wow Ran with a romantic date & convince her to give me a chance to prove to her she's the want in my life. So we went to tropical land.

Then there was that Murder on the Roller Coaster.

Then finding those Guys in black doing something that illegal.

Then getting knocked out from behind.

And being Poisoned.

Now for some reason I'm seven again.

This was not how I expected today to go.
