#Taiga x Shio

[harveybwabbit92]

Shio: If you wanna see the dynamic of a relationship, there’s a simple way to do so. (nods at Taiga)

Taiga, as he helps her up on to a table: THE FLOOR IS LAVA!

Titas: *Scoops Grigio up in his arms and sits on the counter*

Fuma and Akari: *actively trying to kick each other off the chair they were previously cuddling on.*

[harveybwabbit92]

{A triple date goes wrong when a monster attacks.]

Taiga: it's over. We won.

*behind Taiga the monster slowly stands back up*

{Everyone takes a step back as Titas stands in front of Grigio protectively, Shio throws her hand over her mouth aghast while Akari holds her ax up and Fuma starts to point.]

Taiga: No. We won. I'm not turning around and looking at it. We won.

[harveybwabbit92]

[The Tri-squad is briefly brain washed and turned evil, Taro and Shio are dealing with Taiga while Grigio and her brothers are dealing with Titas and Akari is fighting Fuma. She's throwing energy sluggers at him and is seemingly missing him every time which annoys him.]

Dark! Fuma: Um, I stopped dodging. Seriously, are you even trying to hit me?

Akari: Hmmm,*shakes head* No.

Dark! Fuma: The hell do you mean "nooooo..."? (Looks around at the minefield now surrounding him) Oh. Oh. Ohhhhh crap.

Akari: Hellstorm Barrage! *Snaps her fingers.*

(The energy sluggers converge on Fuma.)

Fuma's thoughts before getting KO'd: Oh man, it's even got a cool name!

[harveybwabbit92]

[Fuma, Titas, Shio, Nieves Z and Geed are hanging out together when they find Akari’s Slugger axe wedged in a stone pillar, thinking she’s forgotten it Fuma decides to return it to her.]

Fuma: I’m sure Akari is freaking out about her...missing.... (pulls the handle.) Axe! rgh...*Keeps pulling* It’s stuck!

Geed: let me try! *Geed pulls at the axe and fails miserably*

Shio: Two’s better than one, right?

Nieve: Right.

*Shio and Nieve tried together...nothing....*

Titas and Beta Smash Z: Let’s go!

{They managed to move the axe a little bit, even their combined effort failed, then Fuma got the idea that they all do it together, they all grabbed the Axe’s handle and pulled... And for brief second it seemed like it was working, until they realized the axe wasn’t moving they were all slipping! the teens all fell back into a pile as Taiga arrives and looks down at his friends oddly.]

Taiga: What are you guys doing?

Titas, pointing at the rock: We found your cousin’s axe wedged into that pillar there!

Fuma: And we were trying to get it out...

Shio: But it’s either wedged in there good, or weighs a bejillion tons!

{Taiga sees Akari’s axe wedge into the stone pillar like they said, Taiga examines it for a moment before he reluctantly grabs the handle and gives it small tug, the axe comes loose with barely any effort, Taiga looks at them all baffled.]

Nieve: What?

Geed: How did you do that?

Taiga: Whaddya mean? I just picked it up!

Fuma: But when we tried to pick it up it -Woah!-

*Fuma went to take the Axe from Taiga and was suddenly was pulled to the ground by the shear weight of it.*

Shio: Taiga pick up the Slugger Axe...

Taiga, again picks the axe up like it weighs nothing: Seriously is this a prank? cos it’s not funny.

Shio:...Huh, neat.

Z: What is?

Shio: I think I figured out why Taiga can lift the axe, but we can’t. but just to be sure...*looks around and spots someone* Hey, master Regulos? Taro? can you help us?

Regulos, coming up to them: Yes?

Taro: what is it?

Shio: Master Regulos, can you hold my friend’s axe for a moment?

Regulos, as Taiga hands him the axe: I don’t see why no-Ack! *gets pulled down by the sudden weight* What the??? *Tries to lift the axe but fails* 

Shio: Okay...Master Taro?

[Taro reluctantly grabs the axe and picks it up with no effort at all]

Regulos, stares in disbelief: What?

Taro, twirls the axe around: *Hums*

Shio: thought so...

Geed: C’mon tell us!

Shio: I think only people who are biologically related to Akari can lift the axe...

Taiga: Like how the AI in Reiya’s lab back on earth would only activate with your blood sample?

Shio: Right.

Titas: So, Besides Taiga and Taro both Zero and Ultraseven can lift it too?

Shio: Well yeah, They’re Akari’s brother and father all. 

(Taiga notices the mischievous glint in his father’s eye)

Taiga : Dad? Are you going to use Akari’s axe to play a prank?

Taro: What??? No!.....

Taiga:....

Taro, shifty eyes:  I’m just going to return this to Seven’s daughter now...*Flies away*

Taiga: He’s totally going to use the axe to “test the strength” on the other ultra-brothers...

{The others nod in agreement.)

[harveybwabbit92]

Hiroyuki : How long does it take before you start hallucinating from sleep deprivation?

Fuma: I think—

Shio, with heavy bags under her eyes: Seventy hours...

Taiga: How do you know that?

Shio, slurring her words: There's a clown behind Hiro-kun.

{The tri-squad and Hiroyuki turnaround expecting to see nothing but instead they see Kirisaki standing in the rainy street behind them waving and smiling manically before disappearing when a bus drives by.]

[harveybwabbit92]

[After Shio got yeeted back in time by Reiya and Tregear.]

Hiroyuki: Well done, Taiga! You’re handling this whole thing rather well.

Taiga: I don't think I am, Hiroyuki.

Hiroyuki: Then you’re freaking out in the most useful way possible. Keep it up.

[A few days later a starving, dirty and dishevelled Shio shows up on Hiroyuki's doorstep. everyone especially Taiga is overjoyed and asked how she found her way back?]

Shio, finishing off her fifth helping of curry: Oh, I didn't.

Titas: Then how are you back here?

Shio: Well, once I figured out I was trapped in the past with no way to return... I had no other choice but to wait it out.

Fuma: What do you mean?

Shio: So, you know how I have 3 forms this human form, my alien form and my kaiju serpent form? *Everyone nods* Well, I took my serpent form; found a nice cave to curl up in and took a very long nap....

Hiroyuki: So you've been sleeping the past hundred years?

Shio: Yeah, I just woke up yesterday... Did I miss anything?

[harveybwabbit92]

Taiga, with his arm around Shio's shoulder: So, what should we do for the rest of our triple date night?

Grigio, clinging to Titas: Ooooh, we could go axe throwing!

Fuma, shaking his head: No, they asked us not to come back after the Akari incident.

Akari, flustered: In my defence, no one told me I couldn't use my slugger axe...

[harveybwabbit92]

[It's Halloween The Tri-squad, Akari and the Minato siblings are in a park sitting in a circle trading candy and listen to Isami tell lame ghost stories]

Isami: And the man said, "Here's your daughter's sweater. She left it in my car last night." And the woman said, "Why, that's impossible. My daughter died ten years ago. Wearing that...very...sweater."

Taiga: So?

Isami: So, she was dead. And...he gave her a ride. And she was dead!

Akari: When I was 10 I saw a construction worker fall off a roof and get impaled on Rebar, your story was not scary.

Isami: Not scary? The ghost of a dead girl gave him her sweater!

Titas: What does a ghost even need with a sweater?

Asahi: Maybe it's to keep her guts from falling out.

Taiga: You can tell it was not scary because Fum-bina here didn’t run screaming for the hills.

{Akari glares at Fuma who push her aside to escape when they were going through a haunted maze together, Katsumi ended up going back in to rescue Akari when she got lost and she's pretty much been glued to the elder Minato brother all night much to Fuma's churning.]

Fuma: Hey! Where is it written that a guy has to protect his girl, huh? And I'll have you know that the feminine form of my name is Fumie!

Taiga: Look, Fumie. I was scared back there too, but even I went to protect Shio even though she can easily look after herself, that's what being a couple is about having each others back.

Shio: Oh! by the way...

(Asahi and Shio punch Fuma in the arms)

Fuma: Ow!...Why?

Asahi: Because you're being a Jerk!

Shio: Yeah, who leaves their terrified girlfriend alone to save himself?

{Titas and Kasumi manage to calm everyone down before returning to the stories.]

Isami: OK, so Ichabod Crane lived in the village of Sleepy Hollow.

Titas: Wait, don't us! He left his jacket somewhere.

Isami, fed-up: OK, that's it! Halloween's over!

[Fuma and Akari eventually made up, after Fuma saved her from a creepy stalker dressed as a clown who tried to follow her into the park restrooms.]

[harveybwabbit92]

Hiroyuiki: Don't forget, we're gonna talk about my birthday.

Taiga: No problem. So, Hiroyuki, your birthday is Thursday. How old are you gonna be?

Hiroyuki: 22.

Shio: Man...I can't remember being 22, probably because at that age I was barely out of toddlerhood.

Hiroyuki:...

Hiroyuki: Remind me, how old are you again, Shio?

Shio: I'll be 4,798, in August.

Fuma: Heh, she's two years younger than you Taiga.

{4,800 is around mid teens in ultra years so Shio and Taiga are around 15-16 years old.]

Hiroyuki: Gosh! How would you even blow out that many candles?

Taiga: I don't think that'd be possible...unless?

Titas, Fuma, Shio and Hiroyuki: No.

{In case anyone's wondering Taiga's plan was to get a hold of 4000 candles, a blowtorch and a leaf blower.]

[harveybwabbit92]

[Mile is fixing up Shio after a battle the researcher has the girl rest her head on a table and look at Taiga as she stitches a cut on Shio’s clavicle closed.]

Taiga, fussing over his girlfriend: is she gonna be okay doc?

Mile: Oh, don’t call me doc, I’m not a doctor, I’m a professor....

*Shio winces as she tilts her head up a bit to look at Mile incredulously*

Shio: uh...What’s that mean?

Mile, sucks her teeth and makes Shio look back at Taiga: Well, a doctor would heal you...Whereas myself has juust enough medical training to make sure you’re comfortable while you die!~

[Hikari hears this and chuckles as he checks Fuma and Titas over.]

Taiga:...

Shio: Mental note: don’t get hurt anymore.

[harveybwabbit92]

Fuma, blushing and touching his forehead: .Did you....Did you just kiss me on the forehead?

Akari, mortified: I am so sorry, I’ve been babysitting my neighbors kids all week, as soon as I heard ‘ow’, I acted without thinking!

Fuma, dispirited: Oh....

Akari: Are you okay...You sound sad.

Fuma, mustering up the guts to confess: Uh, act-actually Akari I-....

{Fuma feels a chill go down his spine he looks over Akari’s shoulder and sees her older brother Zero watching him with a scary aura around him...]

Fuma: I have go meet Titas somewhere, see ya around?

Akari: Sure...

[Cut to Fuma getting a chop to the head by Taiga.]

Fuma: Ouch...

Taiga: Dude. You like my cousin? That totally goes against bro-code!

Fuma: How did you even-

Taiga: Zero told me he saw Akari kissing you, what the heck bro?!

Fuma: She didn’t mean to kiss me, it was an accident!

Taiga, scoffs: Oh, lemme guess... You tripped and your head just happen to land on her lips?

Fuma: Well...Kind of? I mean, did hit my head which caused her k-kiss me, so...

{Luckily Titas and Shio intervened before Taiga kicked Fuma’s butt.]

[harveybwabbit92]

[Akari is helping Shio rescue the Tri-squad from Tregear and Reiya luckily the evil couple are willing to bargain, but not with Shio.]

Reiya, to Akari: We want something from you that's very precious.

Tregear: Something you've worked very hard to conceal. Something when gone, you can never regain. Something soul shattering.

Shio, looks between the three confused: What are they talking about?

Akari, starts to sweat: Oh no...

{Cut to a karaoke club where Akari on stage singing a cover of "Am I blue?" Midway through the song Reiya starts crying Shio hands her a tissue. Reiya wiping her tears and rests her head on Tregear's shoulder.]

Reiya: Beautiful.

Shio: It really is..

{Titas loudly clears his throat and the three of them look at the energy cage the Tri-squad is locked in]

Fuma: And you'll keep your end of the bargain?

Tregear: A deal's a deal. you're all is free to go, She can stop now.

Taiga, whose enjoying his cousin's performance: Not on your life.

[harveybwabbit92]

Reiya, after rescuing her niece: When you die, it will be by my hand, and my hand alone.

Shio: ...thanks... I guess...

{Reiya then jumps away dodging Taiga's Strium Blaster.]

Taiga, jumping in front of Shio: Get away from her!

Shio: Taiga...

Reiya: Oh, how sweet you've got yourself a boyfriend.~

Taiga & Shio, flustered: It's not like that!

Reiya, chuckles: Right...*Escapes*

Taiga, about to fly after her: Hey!

Shio: Leave her.

Taiga: But...

Shio: She wants us to chase her so she'll find a way to separate us and pick us off one at a time. Just leave her for now.

Taiga: *sigh* okay.

[harveybwabbit92]

Taiga: Jazz hands! 

[he waves two robot hands in the air as Fuma and Titas laugh.]

Shio: *sigh* Should’ve never taken them to see The Wiz.

[flashback to Shio and Tri-squad in a fancy theater, the boys are wearing hoodies and jeans while is Shio dressed in formal evening attire…

Tri-squad: Jazz Hands! *waves hands*

Shio: *shakes head*..]

Taro: The Broadway show or the movie?

Shio: Both...

[Flashback to a movie theater the Tri-squad are wearing a fancy suits, While Shio is in a simple t-shirt and shorts. 

Tri-squad, watching the movie: Jazz hands! *waves hands*

Shio:* face-palm*]

[harveybwabbit92]

Taiga, to his Girlfriend: Hey, Shio! Bet you can’t freak us out with one sentence.

Shio: Hmm…

Shio: You’re not afraid of being alone in a dark room, you’re afraid of not being alone in a dark room.

{It takes a moment for the other ultrakids what she meant.]

Fuma, shudders: Thanks Taiga, for the first time in three thousand years I’m gonna be sleeping with a nightlight tonight…

Geed, Akari, Titas, Z and Grigio: Same.

[harveybwabbit92]

[Taiga is pitching a fit after Taro announces that he's joining Taiga and Shio on a camping trip they they've been planning.]

Taro: I'm still chaperoning on you and Shio's camping trip this weekend. Love it or lump it!

Taiga: Well, then, I guess I'll just have to... get into the crawl space again.

(Taiga runs off and few seconds later sounds of Taiga scurrying in the walls can be heard.)

Taro: I hate it when he gets in there.

(starts beating the walls with a broom)
