You groaned as the sound of your annoying ass alarm clock going off and immediately swung your head up to glare at the small digits flashing in your face with extraordinary volume.

'5:30' This was sooo not your day, nope, you could just feel all the little bad omens hovering around you and mocking every move and breath you take, yep that's life for ya.

First you had to find out the hard way that your best friend was dropping all of their attention all over their new soulmate, now leaving you all alone and bored like a little old hermit with only rocks for pets and comfort..

Just another reason to hate soulmates...

1. Everyone you know is totally going sickeningly gaga over them.

2. They're soooo overrated.

3. You'll never have one, and if you ever did they'd probably feel repulsed instead of attracted to you, and because of these three facts you were a complete 'no soulmate' zone.

Finally shutting off that terrible beeping by throwing the clock and repeatedly tossing everything close by at it, you reluctantly tore yourself out of the soft fluffy bed and changed out of your fluffy pajamas while simultaneously brushing your hair free from tangles with your fingers.

Once you were out the door you were wearing a black t-shirt with the words, 'I'm sarcastic and I know it' in bold white, covered by a comfortable black sweatshirt with a pair of comfy black jogging pants and combat boots that matched your (H/C) hair which was in a (H/L) ponytail.

You weren't a goth nor were you a mischievous hooligan looking for jail time, it was just really cold out and you read somewhere that wearing black made you warmer than wearing white or pink or whatever.

Seeing the sun up in the sky made you lightly smile as you walked faster down the busy sidewalk, the breeze was not at all chilling, the sun was giving you just the right amount of warmth and the clouds weren't annoyingly scare either like they were every other day.

Guess you had a very good feeling about today after all, for once in your unfortunate existence, maybe things might go well

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ace laughed along with the boisterous group as they walked down the barren street, scaring the crap out of anyone nearby and frightening every recognizable character from the underworld back to the hole they crawled out of.

He wasn't given the position of Whitebeard's second street gang leader for nothing, his mera mera powers pretty much sent all criminal rivals running for the hills from his unbearable heat, bunch o' wusses.

Marco was strolling beside him with Thatch telling a long, complicated joke until suddenly, Ace stopped in place and looked to the west, feeling something immediately change within him.

Ace's POV

'W-what's that?...'

For some reason I felt something in my gut telling me that something important that I had to find was nearby...it feels weird...but, whatever it is it's getting farther away...I don't like that, it's making me feel...weaker...almost like I was getting hurt.

Finally I noticed Thatch trying to get my attention as I reluctantly looked at him as my senses screamed at me to go find that thing, making feel like it was irreplaceable.

"W-what was that again Thatch?" Strange...my head feels kinda fuzzier the farther it gets, and it kinda stings now too, am I dying or something?

Marco grabbed ahold of my shoulders and softly shook me when I noticed my legs kinda moved a bit on their own into the thing's direction, what the hell is happening!?

"Ace are you okay, yoi?" I weakly blinked as my heart started to burn, feeling that it was almost out of my field of senses and painfully groaned, it was really starting to make me feel weird now, was I actually drugged or did I just accidentally drink some bad beer?

"Augh, I-I..feel..weird..I-I can, ngh..sense something impor-important is- augh, nearby.."

Thatch then started to choke on what was left of his beer as Marco gasped and whirled me around and violently pushed me in it's direction, "It's your soulmate dumbass go get her, yoi!" M-My soulmate? But I couldn't even ask him because I was already running down the street on my own.

Soulmate, soulmate, my soulmate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal POV

Marco watched Ace run down the street like his very pants were on fire as Thatch laughed and swung his arm over his shoulder like a proud parent watching their child go off to university.

"Aww, our little Ace finally found love! Ain't that great? Pops is gonna have a new daughter to take care of!" He drunkenly giggled, Thatch might have had just one too many bottles.

"Yeah well that's if she doesn't run away and cause a bad scene" everyone suddenly paused as the possibility clicked in.

"Oh shit!" They all shouted.

The majority of them ran after the 'on-the-loose' Ace as Marco pulled out his den den mushi to call Whitebeard, the situation just got dire, the last thing the needed was a desperate Ace to destroy the whole city, or worse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You smiled at the local librarian and waved as she passed you by with a small friendly chuckle, the two of you often talked and it made you smile to see her pleasant face.

Everything was all fine and dandy! The sun was shining the birds were chirping! Wait.

You stopped in your small steps as a strange feeling overcame your whole body, like someone drugged you with marijuana and only now were you getting a buzz.

Something was heading towards you...and fast...

It finally clicked, it was your soulmate.

Holy shit you actually had a soulmate! And they were heading this way!

"Shit" feeling slightly frightened, anxious and excited at the same time, you bolted the opposite way they were coming from and ignored all the complaints from the people you rudely shoved by.

But whoever it was they were too damn fast for you to out run.

According to your senses they would pass that corner and see you any second now, and since you're kind of a curious person, at that moment you sensed they made an appearance you turned around and stole a peak at their face.

Holy shit you're dead.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ace's POV

I shoved aside all the spooked civilians that saw me and burst into the next area despite the ruckus I was causing, even though I knew pops would get mad later it didn't matter right now.

She was on this very street.

With two desperate wild eyes I looked up mid sprint and literally lost my breath at the magnificent sight before me, among all the startled people there she was.

I could tell she also saw me in the corner of her eyes and took a good stare at the center of her crystal (E/C) orbs and sexy figure, her (H/L) (H/C) hair was in a messy but couture ponytail blending in well with her flawless (S/C) skin that went on for miles and miles.

She was so beautiful, I-I just absolutely had to have her now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normal POV

Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy god damn shit! Your fucking soulmate was fire fist Ace! One of the underground's best known gang leaders under the mafia boss Whitebeard!

So like any normal person would, you ran for your life! Once he finally had ahold of you he would rip you to shreds for-for being you! Once he finds out that you're not some hot, flirty chick he was going to fillet you!

Fuck that! You were outta there!

Anime tears flooded from your eyes as you ran like the wind with a literal devil hot on your tail, licks of fire danced at the edge of your eyes but you didn't dare slow down, in fact the sight only sped you up with more adrenaline.

You could practically feel the flames of hell bursting from him as he continued to give chase, but you didn't let that make you fall, all it took was one mistake and then you'd be done for, but no, you were gonna go down fighting for your life, and when you mean fighting, you mean running away.

"Waaaiiiitt!"

You heard his shout but no way in hell were you gonna stop! You ain't gonna die today! You're gonna die when you say you die, and right now you did not want to die!

Then the worst possible scenario happened, the fucking soulmate channel popped onto the screen.

You gave the whole universe the middle finger as a disheveled looking woman with small glasses walked on screen holding a bunch of messy and half burnt papers that seemed completely unreadable.

"Attention all citizens, this is a serious news report! As we speak the gang leader fire fist Ace is chasing down his runaway soulmate through Main Street and is heading down to Heart Avenue! I repeat, we have found fire fist Ace's soulmate!"

Then, live footage of you being chased by an angry looking Ace set on fire was on screen as you kept running, holy shit were you so fucking scared right now.

How the fucking hell could this get worse!?

Then as if by magic someone decided to step in your path making you want to cry out in anguish, the world really loved to prove you wrong today huh? And to think you had a good feeling about this day.

IT WAS FUCKING WHITEBEARD!

Whitebeard!

He was standing tall in proud in the middle of the street in front of a hoard of his 'sons', ready to catch you and hand you over to the nutcase arsonist or even tear you apart himself with his menacing battle spear.

Nope fuck this shit!

You finally used your mizu mizu power and used the nearby water in the streets and atmosphere to propel you into the air and jump over their heads without getting torn apart.

All the men below gaped at you in awe as you gracefully landed behind them and resumed running off into the distance, you weren't gonna die just yet you bunch thuggish man bitches!

But of course, Ace wasn't so lucky, which was good for you and made you mentally cheer in victory, if you could keep this up you might just survive!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you took a hard turn outta there he immediately rammed into Izo and ended up burning half of the gang into deep crisps.

"No! No no no no no no! I'm losing her!" Ace was just about to shoot off like a blazing rocket until Whitebeard quickly took him by the arm and lifted him up.

"Cool your jets brat she ain't getting away, you can still sense her from a pretty far distance and I swear we won't let her get far, I'm not letting my new daughter go anywhere" he boomed with a smile.

Ace reluctantly stopped trying to get away and slumped down in exhaustion, chasing her took up much more energy than he thought, it was hard enough to keep up with her in the first place anyway.

After a few labored breathes he was able to choke out some words, "p-pops, I-I, I have to, I g-gotta make her-er mine"

Whitebeard smiled down at the son in his hands and nodded in understanding, "Yes yes, I know what it's like to first meet your soulmate brat" he chuckled while looking back in his past with a wistful smile.

Marco smirked before flaring up and flying off as Thatch smiled up at Ace's worn out form with a bundle of stolen documents in his sweaty palms.

"Hey bud! Guess what!? We found out who she is! Her name is (L/N) (Y/N), she's a smarty pants scholar, (Y/A) years old, and guess what? She has freaking mizu mizu powers!"

Ace blinked and felt a spark at the sound of your name.

"(Y/N)..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You finally found a place to stop and hid in a dark alleyway as you desperately gasped for breath, holy shit was that scary! All you wanted to do today was go on a peaceful walk, just a walk! And now you have an arsonist that is also your soulmate hunting you down to be his next murder victim!

Well, at last you lost the lunatic and hopefully everyone else from his crazy gang of friends, but now instead you had to worry about the citizens, the press and possibly even the freaking police going after you now.

Oh was this a fine mess...

You were just about to leave the alley to hopefully sneak back to your place and grab a passport, when someone decided to go and land behind you while clearing their throat in a disappointed father like manner.

Sweat started to brake out over your skin as you slowly turned around, almost knowing exactly who you were about to see.

It was Marco, the mother-living phoenix! Whyyyyyyy!?

You were just about to shriek in terror and mercilessly kick him directly in the jump out of pure reflex and instinct, when he swiftly immobilized both your arms behind your back and stuck behind you like a load of masking tape.

"Look, I'm just here to take you back to Ace okay? No need to get scared now miss, yoi, let's just all calm down and head back okay? Yoi"

No need to get scared!? Bullshit!

But you didn't dare fight back, you were too paralyzed in fear of him ripping both your arms off himself, so you kept quiet for the whole way as he led you down an abandoned street, no doubt to the place where your end was eminent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stared up at the menacing abandoned factory, this was their hideout, a creepy ass giant building with moss growing in the cracks and crevices, smashed tinted windows all over the front, and there was even a giant warning sign on the front door.

You resigned yourself to your fate as he led you in without pause or hesitation, and once inside everyone in the vast space of the building stopped conversation and stared at you with excited and warm eyes.

You were so flipping scared.

Some gave you smiles and a thumbs up as you passed by while others tried to tell you everything was going to be okay under their quiet breaths.

Yeah..you were going to be fine....

Marco finally led you to a back room.

Inside was freaking Whitebeard himself in a huge godlike throne and all of the other fifteen gang leaders...including Ace sitting in their smaller ones, it was like walking in to see Zeus and all of the other gods on Olympus.

You gulped at his intense stare towards you until a guy with a pompadour noticed and not so gently elbowed him in the gut, "ahem! Sorry about Ace here! He's just really excited in getting to meet you!"

Wait, what? Meeting you?

"You're, not gonna kill meeeee?" You stretched out the 'e' as some of them gave you ridiculous looks, making you feel nervous that you mentioned your possible death at their hands.

"Hah! Kill you?! That's a good one brat!" Whitebeard boomed.

Ace though didn't find it very funny as he matched right up to you and took ahold of your hands, "(Y/N) I would never harm you" he protectively whispered.

Oh shit you just noticed, he's so fucking cute! With his chocolate doe eyes! And his adorable tiny freckles!

Oh god was it hard not to- Ace interrupted your thoughts as he gently claimed your lips.

You heard Whitebeard and the commanders clap and whistle in the background as you kissed back.

'This might not be so bad...'
