The cruise ship slowly came to a stop in Shel's port, the whistle blew loudly and the walk way was lowered, the passangers started to walk off the ship in large groups among one of the groups was Minato, he stepped off the ship and looked around at his new surroundings "This is where we'll be living from now on" came a feminie voice out of nowhere, it was Lunellea, she had made herself invisible as Minato didn't want to cause a stur if he would walk off the ship with her right behind him. Minato could see that most of the people around the port had Spirit Partners with them, he saw many different shapes and colors and sizes, some were animal like some were elemntal spirits, which was normal for regular Spirit Partners except, for Lunellea.
"Shall we go?" he smiled "Yes" Lunellea replied Minato started walking "Do you know where we're going?" Minato hummed and he remebered something at that moment, his parents had given him a note with directions on it, he rummaged in his pocket and pulled said paper out. He unfolded it and studied it, "Hmm, according to this, my cousin lives in the South District" Minato hummed in confusion "You have no idea how to get there do you?" Minato nodded he heard Lunellea sigh "Great, we're lost already" Minato groaned.
"I can't help it! This is my first time here!" a passerby looked Minato's way, he shuddered, with Lunellea unable to be seen he must have looked like a crazy person talking to himself, he laughed and smiled nervously and the passerby looked away Minato sighed "I gotta be careful in front of people" it was hard having Lunellea invisble, but, it's what stopped her from being seen. Minato wished he could just let Lunellea stay visible instead of having her hide all the time, it would make talking with her seem less crazy, Minato went back to studying the directions, he grumbed and groaned as he tried to make sense of them. Suddenly a different feminine voice came from behind him, "Is something the matter?" Minato looked to his left and saw a older girl who was a bit taller then him, she had shoulder length arburn hair, and she had amber eyes,she was wearing a blue and green striped shirt paired with a knee length black skirt. Minato blushed, the girl was beautiful, "I said, is something wrong?" the girl repeated herself, Minato shook his head "Uhm, yeah kind of" the girl had a concerned look on her face "What's the problem?" Minato sighed "Uhm, you wouldn't know how to get to the South District would you?" the girls eyes lit up.
She nodded "Sure I do! I live there" Minato smiled "Really, then, if it's not too much trouble, can you tell me how to get there?" the girl smiled "I can do better, I can show you how to get there!" Minato rubbed the back of his head "Uhm, no, you don't have to" the girl took Minato's hand which made him blush, "No, please! Allow me to show you the way" the girls smile was more then Minato could take. He sighed defeatedly, "Okay, you can show me the way" the girl giggled "Alright! Come on, this way!" she started to pull Minato along with her Minato's face was red as it could get, this was his first time holding hands with a girl, and an older one at that. He wasn't going to lie, he was kind of enjoying having such a beautiful girl holding his hand and dragging him along with her he suddenly heard an angry grumble behind him, his body jolted, "Crap, she's mad" this was another of Lunellea's quirks, she'd get mad for some unkown reason when he got close to another girl. Whenever she got like this, Minato would always be in for an earful once the two of them were alone "You seem to be enjoying yourself" he heard Lunellea say through a angry grumble "Come on! Don't be like that! She's just showing me the way!" the girl looked at him "Did you say something?" Minato jumped "Uh, no! Nothing!" the girl shurgged and looked away.
Minato sighed, "Uhm, what's you name?" the girl looked back at him, "Oh! How forgetful of me, my names Yui, Yui Sakuro" the girl bowed her head, Minato smiled "Nice to meet you Yui-san, oh, my name Minato by the way, Minato Yukaze" the girl smiled "I see, nice to meet you Minato-kun" Minato blushed and nodded he heard another angry gurmble form Lunellea and he sighed, he was diging his own grave. "Kyuu!" came a small cry, Minato looked around confused "What was that?" Yui giggled "Oh, that's just Kyubi" Minato gave a confused look "Kyubi?" suddenly, Minato saw a small white ball of fur poke out from Yui's hair, he stared hard at it, then it cried "Kyuu!" Minato gasped as the white ball of fur revealed itself to be a small round creature with long pointed ears, it looked at him with big blue eyes, behind it a small poof resembling a tail wagged back and forth behind it. "Kyuu!!" it cried again in a almost greeting tone, "So, your Kyubi" the creature gave an acknowledging nod "Nice to meet you, I'm Minato" "Kyuu!" it cried happily then it had an almost puzzled look on it's face, "Kyuu?" it cried, Minato noticed that Kyubi wasn't looking at him but, behind him, he was a bit shocked, "Don't tell me he can see Lunellea?" he whispered to himself.

"Stop looking at me!" he heard Lunellea yell, Kyubi cried in surprise and looked away scared, he even started to shake, Yui noticed "Aw, whats wrong Kyubi?" Kyubi gave a whimpering cry, "Sorry, he's usually not afraid of other people" Minato chuckled nervously "Don't worry about it" he knew it wasn't him Kyubi was scared of, he glanced back with a glare "What?" Minato grumbled "Why'd you do that!" Lunellea huffed "He would have exposed me" Minato gave an exsaperated sigh. As Yui pulled Minato along with her she started making small talk, "So, what brings you to Shel?" Minato smiled "Well, I'm moving here" Yui gave an itrigued hum "It's not very often someone moves to Shel" Minato gave a confused look "Really?" Yui nodded "Yeah, usually people move from Shel" Minato was even more confused "Why is that?" Yui chuckled "You'll see in a bit" Minato was doubly confused, what did Yui mean by that, "So, are your parents coming with you?" Minato shuddered "Uhm, no" Yui had a concerned look on her face. "Are you telling me your moving here by yourself?" Minato nodded "Mom and Dad had jobs back home, so they let me come by myself" Yui had a worried look on her face, "Are you going to be living alone then?" Minato shook his head, "Oh no, I'm not old enough to live on my own" Yui's worried face seem to fade "So, you'll be living with someone?" Minato nodded.
"Yeah, I'm going to be living with my older cousin" Yui's worried expression vanished and she smiled, "I see, what's he like?" Minato shook his head, "No, my cousins a girl" Yui gasped "I see" Minato raised an eyebrow "Is something wrong with that?" Yui blushed and shook her head "No, theres nothing wrong with a teenage boy and older girl living together" Yui chuckled nervously, her face red, Minato wondered what Yui was thinking about, suddenly she gasped "Oh yeah! I too have a cousin coming here!" suddenly, a shocked look appeared on Yui's face, "I was going to meet him at the port!" Yui stopped walking. Minato chuckled, "Then, I guess you Shouldn't be showing me around Should you?" Yui sighed "Your right, I messed up" Minato laughed "Look, I'll find my way just fine, you go back to the port to find your cousin" Yui seemed hesitant "But, I just can't leave you when you need help" Minato smiled "Don't worry, I'll be just fine" Yui sighed "Okay" she let go of Minato's hand. "Uhm, if you go about five miles that way, take a left turn at the cross section, then walk about another six miles and take a right turn at the crosswalk, then head straight for another three miles and then take a right at the cross section you'll come to a sign showing you the way to the South District" Minato laughed half happily, "That's alot of walking" Yui giggled "That's why I said people move from Shel" Yui then realized what she was heading off to do "I've got to get back to the port!" she started running off.
"Bye Minato-kun, I hope you get to your cousins house with no problem!" Minato smiled "Thanks, and I hope you find your cousin" Yui smiled back "Thanks! Seeya!" she waved as she ran off out of sight, Minato chuckled to himself "She was pretty nice" he then blushed "Not to mention real pretty" he heard a angry grumble from in back of him, he shuddered and suddenly he felt a wap on his head, "Ow!" he rubbed his head "Lunellea! What was that for!" he got no response all he heard was Lunellea walking away angrily. He groaned "Great, now she's really pissed" he started walking after her, while he fallowed the peeved off Lunellea he thought of Yui, he had been really happy when she had asked to help him, it was something he never exerinced before, it made his heart feel warm. He smiled to himself, "You know, I think I might like this place after all" he heard Lunellea grumble and he felt another bump on his head "Ow!" he rubbed his head as Lunellea had hit him a second time.
