'Twas three days before V-day

And the cosmos was messed

The heavens were rumbling

The mounts left unblessed

And the reason behind this

Godly unfray, was the

Goddess of Love

Forgot Valentine's Day…

"I can't believe I totally forgot! I KNEW I shouldn't have taken that darn lunch break with Ares the other day! And this! The most important day of the year!" Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty shrieked to herself as she stormed (elegantly) around her fluffy pink cloud gathering various items such as potions and such. Her son, Eros, sat watching from a comfy spot slightly to the right of her home.

"Oh mother, have you forgotten your dates? Christmas on Earth has already passed!" The blonde goddess dropped her books and other items, which simply floated in front of her, for a moment. Smoothing out her toga delicately, the immortal smiled sweetly at her child, the God of Love.

"Cupid honey, if you're not going to do anything but make smart comments at mommy, I suggest you grab those arrows over there and HELP ME SORT THIS MESS OUT!"

Meanwhile, somewhere down on Earth…

"AHHHH!!!! It's an EARTHQUAKE!" And havoc was struck upon the land that had once so peacefully been ruled by the goddess of love.

Back to Mount Olympus…

Eros nearly tumbled off of his cloud.

"But MOTHER, I've never been down…" The blonde boy looked down at the Earth in disgust, "there before! It's probably all….dirty and destructive! And there climate will just RUIN my hair and…"

Aphrodite smiled sweetly once more, gently slipping the lovely quill over her son's neck.

"I know honey I know but…a jobs a job!" With one quick shove she placed a list of people in his hands and tossed him (daintily) off the cloud and flying towards Japan.

Down

Down

Down

Down

And into the city of Odiaba…

Cupid caught himself before he could hit the ground. Shaking his head to clear out the little stars, his blue eyes gazed at the list before him. His assignment was one of simplicity; he was supposed to get his Tai person to fall in love with Sora, and for her to reciprocate his feelings. A few other people also, ones Cupid did not care to read just yet, because he noticed the target, Sora Takenouchi, approaching.

"Piece o' ambrosia! I'll just zap Ms. Sora over here with a little love spell, get her to fall in love with this Tai guy, and leave them alone for a while. I'll be done in two gallops of Poseidon's horses!" With one snap of his divine fingers, Eros had Sora under a sleep spell, in which the girl promptly fell asleep on the park bench she had been nearing.

Slapping his hands together, a cosmic spark of energy flew out.

By the kiss from a rose

By the wings of a dove

Taichi is the name

Of the boy you shall love

Having enchanted the arrow, Eros, his shot a bit wobbly, managed to pierce Sora in the neck, jolting the seventeen-year-old girl awake. For a few seconds, Sora's normally gently crimson eyes grew to a light, glossy pink hue depicting passion, love, and lust. Then she yawned, eyes returning to normal, and fell back into a normal sleep just as Tai was walking around the corner and in that direction. Cupid smiled, extremely pleased with himself, and floated into the street for a better view.

"Sora, is that you?" Taichi Yagami asked as he approached the sleeping form of his best friend. Sora's eyes fluttered open, and on the first glance of Tai, they reflected that same glossy hue before returning normal.

"Hi…Tai…" The teenager replied breathlessly with a lovesick blush. Of course, the oh so attentive Taichi Yagami, however, didn't notice one thing -.-;.

"Hi yourself. What's up with you? I mean, why were you sleeping on a bench?" Sora sighed and blushed some more (which Tai also didn't notice) and shrugged.

"Oh…I don't know…I guess I'm just absent minded or something." Tai cracked a wide smile, which caused his BB to turn a geranium red.

Cupid gave an irritated sigh.

"This is taking WAY too long! I need a little more action or something!" Whistling "innocently" the god of love floated over behind Tai, where he was talking to Sora about his last soccer game.

"So anyway, my bud Jared was coming up right behind the guy and-!" At that exact moment Tai could have sworn he felt someone push him roughly enough to knock him over; right on top of Sora.

For the first time in a whole ten minutes of talking Tai started to realize how beautiful his best friend actually was. Those long, dark eyelashes and shimmering crimson eyes, her down to earth smile…

"Hi…Sora…"

Still whistling innocently, Eros floated back into the street and waited ever so patiently for exactly the right moment to shot his victim. Suddenly, the thirteen (hundred)-year-old god noticed a car coming full speed towards him.

"No biggy. It can't actually hurt me. I AM an immortal after all…" But as the car drove through him, it took the only thing that wasn't diving and holy; his list of people.

"Wait! Come back!" Cupid cursed to himself as he nearly threw his quill at the speeding car. Laughing nervously, the god glanced once more at the couple who were, in fact, still on the ground, star gazing into each other's eyes.

"I'll just…shoot whatever his name is…and then my MAJOR job will be complete, then I'll just skidadle up on back to mother and ask for another list! No problem! As long as THEIR relationship turns out okay everything will be peachy!"

"Sora…I just wanted to…" Taichi started, leaning in closer towards his so much more than a best friend. Sora closed her eyes and their lips met in a gentle kiss.

"Okay, I'll just give him a simple love arrow! I mean, it's not like she's not going to be the next person he sees!" Pulling back, with an aim not straight, but true, Cupid pierced Tai in the side, making him fall deeper into the kiss.

Cupid dusted off his hands.

"Not bad, if I do say so myself."

"OHHH MMMYYY GODDDDD!" Shrieked a suddenly very loud squeal. Everyone looked over at the same time to the source; Mimi Tachikawa. Tai's chocolate brown eyes turned pink and glossy.

"Hi…Mimi…" Forgetting anything about Sora or the previous moment, the large haired boy ran over to Mimi and scooped her up in his arms. Mimi (violently) pushed her friend away.

"What's with you Tai? Are you trying to cover up for what just happened with you and Sora because I saw the WHOLE thing! And it was so-…" Her words were cut short when Tai suddenly leaned out and kissed her full out on the lips. And Mimi didn't resist.

(Michi fans: YAY!)

(Taiora fans: Boo!)

For about .2 seconds.

In .1 seconds, Mimi was raising her fist. In .2 seconds, it had connected with Taichi's face. And by the time the second ended, Tai was sprawling on the ground, Sora instantly at his side.

(Taiora fans: YAY!)

(Michi fans: Boo…)

Mimi vigorously wiped her mouth, spit and hacked like there was no tomorrow. Tai, however, was already recovering, pushing Sora away from him and bounding back towards the pink haired girl. Mimi dodged out of the way.

"Stop it, TAICHI! What are you, anyway? Some kinda obsessive form of Sukamon or something? Don't ever make me do that again!" Mimi screamed as she slowly backed away, slinging her purse as if to whack him if the lovesick digidestined came too close.

"Oh Mimi, don't you know? You always hurt the one's you love…" Mimi shook her head and started to run.

"I don't know what the heck is up with you, Tai! But just…leave me alone until your back to normal!" Mimi cried out as she ran into the street, right past the floating god and into the middle of the street.

"Oh…great. I suppose it wouldn't be SO bad if this pink haired girl here just fell in love with the big haired dude. I mean, it's not as if I can't reverse the other girl's spell. It should were off if she doesn't get whoever she desires anyway." And with that, Eros pulled back one of his handy-dandy love at first sight arrows and pulled back, just as another car was just turning the corner…

For the blonde driver in the car, everything seemed to go in slow motion. In on instant, he suddenly saw Mimi in front of him. Unknown to him, however, Cupid had just shot Mimi with a love at first sight arrow. And, coincidentally, the last thing Mimi remembered before being (extremely gently) hit by the car, her honey brown eyes connected with the icy blue of the driver, causing one to faint and the other to scream. But between the fainting, there was only one word echoing inside the girl's head:

Yamato…

"Oh my god! MIMI!" Yamato Ishida leapt out of his car and rushed out into the center of the street, where the pink-haired girl lay.

"Mimi, MIMI! Mimi speak to me!" Matt desperately checked the girl's pulse, then her breathing. If he hadn't had been so scared, he would have noticed it was still going strong. Or the smitten smile on her face. However, he didn't, so…

Holding her nose gently between his fingers, the blonde rock star laid Mimi flat on the concrete, not really caring that his car was in the middle of the road, and put his mouth to hers like he'd learned a few years before in that CPR class.

"Come on Mimi! Do something!" The teenager cried as he pushed as gently as possible on her diaphragm. One honey colored eye opened without her 'rescuer' noticing, and in the next instant, she swooped her arms around his neck and forced herself on top of him.

"Hi Matt…" The possessed girl whispered in his ear. Matt had already been flushed with color from all the excitement, but now he was just plain turning maroon.

"M-mimi? What's wrong with you?" Mimi laughed in a sultry voice.

"Why whatever do you mean, Yamato?" The blonde gulped and as gently as possible pushed the pink-loving girl away from him.

"Look Mimi. I think your just a little bit confused here, so maybe you should just…"

"Mimi, MY LOVE!" A sudden outburst interrupted Matt's promotion. Suddenly, Tai jumped out in front of her, his eyes glowering at his other best friend.

"What did you do to her?! And you call yourself a gentleman! Ha!" Matt had a huge sweatdrop plastered to the back of his head. "Step away from her you vile beast, or I shall be forced to battle you!" Taichi threw his head back cockily. Sora grasped his arm dramatically.

"No Tai! I won't let you! How could I possibly live if something ever happened to you?" Mimi grasped Matt's arm in the same fashion.

"Yes Matt. I love the fact that you're going into a battle with Tai only for the love of me, but, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something should ever happen to you." The blonde musician pulled himself away.

"What's wrong with all of you!? Have you all gone insane?! I've got a concert practice in five minutes, okay? Please, Mimi, snap out of your trance or whatever and let's go! You're singing with us for the dance on Friday, remember?" Tai jumped in Matt's way.

"I'll never let you take her, you feign!"

:SMACK!:

Yamato knocked him out of the way in a matter of seconds with one arm, the other towing along a giddy Mimi as she skipped behind him like a small child. Matt opened the door, putting Mimi inside and hopping over to the drivers seat while growling all the way and drove off towards the concert hall.

Could you imagine poor Cupid right about now? If each strand of his hair didn't grow back three seconds after being pulled the thirteen hundred year old god would have been bald by now. Growing in an irritated fashion, he turned towards Tai, who was struggling to follow the car, and Sora, who was trying to keep him from it. Sparks and flames rose in the clear blue eyes of his.

Love be lovely

Hate be hate

Bound these two by

Chains of Fate

A cosmic energy swirled around the two teenagers, leaving them slightly paralyzed of a moment or two as the magic took hold. A beautiful, yet immensely strong pair of handcuff, decorated with the symbol of Aphrodite and Eros in it's liquidy, mercury-like shiny pink substance suddenly appeared attached to Sora's left and Taichi's right wrist. The deep haired teenager came back to his senses and glanced at his chained wrist.

"AH! What did you do, woman?!" Sora took a look at her left wrist and smiled.

"I don't know. But I'd say it's an improvement." Then she sat down on a bench placidly and waited for Tai to calm down.

"Great. Now my one and only true love has been brain washed by the evil Count Mattcula!" Sora sweatdropped at the phrasing; the fact that she was madly in love under a spell wasn't going to change the fact that Tai's strange words always caused her to sweatdrop. Of course, the ever attentive Taichi Yagami didn't notice.

"Now it is up to me, Taichi, to save her from utter destruction and peril! MWAHAHAHAA!"

Eros was just about to fly off after Mimi and Yamato to try and keep an eye on them before he heard that strange teenager and his bold, heroic, annoying laughter. Can you say anime vein?!

Gods are immortal

Mortals abrupt

Combine their two concepts

And make him shut up!

A wisp of blue mist swirled out of Taichi's throat and into a small, pale glass jar that Cupid promptly shut tight as soon as it was occupied. Tai started scrambling around, totally confused.

"Finally…" Then the blonde immortal shnapped his fingers and disappeared in a puff of pink smoke.

Tai was desperately waving and frailing his hands in the air, trying to talk to Sora but to no avail. Her eyebrows raised as he jumped up and down, but she simply shrugged and leaned back on the bench.

"Mimi…Mimi stop!" Yamato Ishida swatted her hands away as he drove down the street towards the concert hall. She kept trying to wrap her arms around his neck or kiss him or something or other. Believe it or not, if he hadn't have known something was oddly wrong with all of his friends, he would have had trouble resisting. No one, maybe except TK, knew that he had a itsy-bitsy teensy-tiny nearly non existent might as well be not there I think you get the idea crush on Ms. Mimi Tachikawa. Nothing he couldn't control, right?

Just as Yamato stopped the car, Mimi reached over and touched her lips with his. It took all the will-power he had (plus about twenty seconds) to finally push her (unwillingly) away. The blonde let out a deep sigh.

"Mimi, trying to make me take advantage of your trance like state is low. You know that, do you?" Mimi giggled flirtatiously and leaned over again, only this time Matt got the car door open and jumped out.

"Oh Matt, so you really do care about little ol' me?" Matt gulped nervously.

Cupid appeared in a puff of invisible smoke to the left side of the two teenagers with a quick, disgruntled sigh.

"Okay…this time, I'm just going to shoot him with a low-powered, love sick, muses made arrow (not sold in stores, folks!) that enhances hidden feelings. And this time, I'm not just going to use one, I'm going to use three!" A crazed laughter escaped the god as he pulled out three of the heat seeking devices, specialized for the male way of thinking (e.g. it's only effective on guys. Betcha never knew cupid had so many different arrows did ya?). Still sounding with mad laughter, Eros aimed his arrows somewhat near the sadly confused blonde musician. With the last snort of crazy giggles, the golden haired god pulled back on the string and shot, missing poor Yama-chan by a mile and rounding a corner, flying full speed for the three nearest guy targets with hidden feelings…

Four friends walked towards the Natsu-Dome (Summer-Dome), ready and rearing to work with Yamato's band, "Teenage Wolves", on their newest set of special effects.

"For the last time Miyako, I don't like Aiko!" Iori Hida pressed on as he, Miyako Inoue, Ken Ichijouji and Koushiro Izumi talked about little Iori's love life. At least, his purple haired sister figure was. Ken and Koushiro were just sweatdropping. Miyako winked with a figure pointed at his heart.

"You can't change the feelings in your heart, Iori-kun!" At that moment, the three arrows hit each of the boys square in the back of the neck. Each of them stopped walking and stood still, eyes glossy and pink for a moment before returning to normal. The twelve-year-old sighed softly and nodded.

"You're right Miyako…I can't hide, not any longer…If you'll excuse me, I have to find Aiko. See-ya…" The fifteen-year-old teenager sweatdropped.

"Yeah…um, bye…" They walked around the corner as Iori disappeared in the opposite direction, coming face to face with a cornered Yamato and a totally love sick Mimi. The girl frowned and stood still for a moment.

"Aw, how cute! But maybe we should stop them or otherwise we'll never get through rehearsals. Don't you think so, guys?" It was here that Miyako noticed how they were staring at her. Again, she sweatdropped.

"Allow me to stop them, Miyako. It was a good judgement to notice that our rehearsals were at stake if something like this should happen between the two main singers. I admire your processing skills." Koushiro stated dreamily as he calmly walked towards the two 'love birds' and pulled Yamato away from Mimi.

"How is that?" Izzy asked, his dark eyes wide with question as he paid no attention to the confused Yamato or the hand that was latched firmly to his shoulder. Yolei cheered happily and nodded.

"Arigato Izzy Senpai! You made it look so easy!" Meanwhile, Ken continued to stare at the purple haired girl, turning red with jealousy. Izzy turned red with blush.

"It was nothing Miyako-chan." Ken snorted angrily and touched her shoulder gently.

"Yolei, weren't you going to show me how you did the special effects for Matt's band today? We'll be late if we don't go." Yolei blushed and nodded as the three walked towards Natsu-Dome.

"Ah heh…" Cupid shrugged his shoulder, completely and totally shocked that everything he'd planed, not just one thing, EVERYTHING that day, had backfired. He had two people who were supposed to be heads over heels in love were, well, not. Did he mention they were linked together with Fate Handcuffs in a park? Enter one love sick girl over a guy who liked her, but only a little, and three other love sick guys, two over the same girl, one gone off to who knows where?!

"That's….IT! :sigh: Mother is going to kill me…" With a quick shnap of his fingers, Cupid disappeared.

End of Part One
