Hey everyone!

Well, here's my new Kate/Ari fic. Enjoy!

Reunion

The first day at a new high school is always a stressful day. But for 16 year old Kate Todd, that wasn't the case. It helped that she knew someone at the school, one Tony DiNozzo, who she had grown up with until he moved to Washington two years ago. But thanks to her father's work, Kate's family got to move to Washington, which she could not be more happy about. When she had arrived at the High School that morning she was picked up and thrown over her best friends shoulder.

"Katie!" Tony had said putting her over his shoulder until she kicked him in the stomach, at which he set her down onto her two feet again.

"I hate to say it, but I've missed you" She had said with a smile. She noticed a girl standing next to Tony. "This has to be the girl who put a stop to your manwhore ways" She said, making Tony glare at her and the girl next to him chuckle.

"I am Ziva" She said with a smirk. "It is nice to finally meet the famous Kate" She said.

Kate had laughed and could tell that she and Ziva were going to get along, and quite possibly gang up on Tony.

The three Juniors were now sitting in the Cafeteria at Washington High, talking and ignoring the world around them.

"What's your next class?" Tony asked with a mouth full of chips. From next to him Ziva rolled her eyes.

"I have..." Kate said looking through her bag to find her timetable, looking for what class she had after lunch "Senior English"

"You're taking a Senior class?" Tony asked with a laugh.

"Shut up DiNozzo" She said stuffing her timetable back into her bag. When she turned back she noticed someone sitting at the back of the cafeteria reading from a book. "Tony...Who's that?" She asked nodding the direction of the person. Tony and Ziva looked behind them at the table.

"That's Ari Haswari" Tony said in a low voice, leaning in towards her "It's best you don't talk to him. I heard he murdered someone" He whispered. Ziva sighed from next to him.

"I do not think that is true Tony" She said. He looked at her.

"How would you know? He's always in his room. You never even hear him talk!" He said. Ziva rolled her eyes. Kate looked between to two confused.

"Am I missing something?" She asked.

"Ari is my brother" Ziva said.

"And he's dangerous. He's a loner, never talks to anyone. You should stay away from him" Tony said like a protective brother. Before Kate could say anything else the bell rang and everyone started going to their next classes.

"See you guys next period" Kate said putting her bag over her shoulder and walking away.

The next few days were the same. She'd sit in the cafeteria each day with Tony and Ziva, always looking at the guy sitting at the back of the room.

The day before, he looked up and their eyes had locked for a brief moment before she quickly looked away and blushed.

But today she got her lunch and walked up to his table, putting her tray down and sitting across from him.

"Hi" She said quietly. Ari looked up from the book he was reading and stared at her. "I'm Kate" She said "Well, Caitlin, but everybody calls me Kate" She said a bit nervously. Ari raised an eyebrow at her. She sighed, looked down at her tray and began playing with the food on it with her fork.

"Why are you sitting here?" An accented voice asked. Kate's head snapped and she looked at Ari. The book he was reading was closed and his hands were folded on the table in front of him.

"I don't actually know" Kate said taking a bite out of the salad in front if her. Ari just nodded and continued to look at her. She stared back at him and heard an odd whimper off to the side from Tony and him saying 'What is she doing?' to Ziva.

"What book are you reading?" Kate asked after a while. Without taking his eyes off her he pushed the book across the table to her. She smiled at him and picked it up. "Stephen King" She said "I've read a few of his books" She said passing it back.

The bell rang and Kate picked up her tray and stood, along with Ari "Bye Ari" She said.

"Goodbye Caitlin" He smirked before turning and disappearing through the crowd of students.

Kate turned around to come face to face with a worried looking Tony.

"What the hell happened?" He asked.

"Nothing Tony. I sat at a table" Kate said rolling her eyes and walking towards the bin.

"With Ari" He said following behind her.

"Tony. I've got to get to class. We'll talk later" She said before hurrying through the crowd of students.

Later that afternoon, Ziva and Tony snuck into the gym after school had finished as no after school sports were being played in there.

Tony stepped forward and put an arm around her waist, walking backwards to pull her towards the bleachers. "Alone at last" He said leaning down to kiss her.

Tony, being in the football team, was one of the most popular guys in the school. When Ziva had come to the school earlier in the year she was an outcast, no-one would talk to her because all the rumours they had heard about her and her brother. That was until Tony had seen her. He was immediately drawn to her, and did everything he could to get her. When they first started dating the cheerleaders had tried to make her miserable. But Ziva just found it funny and told Tony not to worry about it, that they were all just jealous. Soon enough she had become been welcomed by all of Tony's teammates, which to her enjoyment made all of the cheerleaders furious at her.

They snuck around after school, as they couldn't go back to either of their houses because of both of their fathers. They knew if their fathers found out that they would get in trouble, as Ziva's father wanted her to be with 'A nice Jewish boy, like Michael Rivkin, you used to be very good friends' as Ziva's father Eli would always say. And Tony's father was no better, wanting him to be with a ditsy blond cheerleader or something ridiculous like that, or a catholic girl 'What about that girl Kate you used to always be with?'.

Tony sat down on one of the bottom bleachers and pulled Ziva into his lap, her lips still on his.

"My Dad's away this weekend" Tony said when they broke apart, his hands running up and down her sides. "You wanna come over?" He asked.

She leaned forward and kissed him again before nodded with a smirk. Their heads suddenly snapped towards the door when they heard it beginning to open. They quickly got up and ran towards the door on the other side of the gym, trying not to be seen.

Two days later Kate was an hour late coming home from school seeing as she was hanging out with Tony for the afternoon. As soon as she closed the front door and put her bag down she was grabbed by the hair and thrown into the wall.

"Why are you late?" Her father spat at her. Kate tried to push herself up, but he kicked her arm, making her fall again.

"I was with Tony" She said holding her arm to her chest. Her father just glared at her as he walked into the living room and sat on the couch with his beer in his hand.

Kate pushed herself up with one hand and made her way up to her room and closing the door. She pulled out her cell from her pocked, wiping away a tear as she did.

It rang only once before it was answered.

"Tony" She said softly.

"How badly did he hurt you?"

"Bruise, on my arm" She sighed.

"I'll see you tonight then?"

"Thank you Tony" She whispered.

"Anything for you Katie"

Not too much Kari so far, but heaps is on the way. Trust me.
