A/N: Yo everyone, before the story starts, I'd like to say that maybe rewriting this story might be a good idea, because I know better ways of writing this. So, I give you a heads up on what to expect. A lot of different things. Let's get into it, remember that the sovereign are always watching.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything already created and mentioned in this story.
Chapter 1
Start of a New Adventure
A robin was chirping outside of Max's window. The thirteen year old boy woke up, his grey/black hair covering his eyes and he thought, maybe I should get my bangs cut.
A man's voice inside of his head then said, nah, your hair, like your father's is one of a kind. Not many people have that kind naturally.
True. Max replied. He then got out of his bed and took out his school uniform from his dresser. He then went into his room's bathroom, which was one out of the two in the entire house. He then took a quick shower and got dressed. He looked in his mirror," Alright," he said," how am I going to do this? Hey, how've you been doing? No. So, I heard your mom's a model. No, that'll make me sound like a creep. That's it, I'll just ask her. Today's the last day of school before the summer break. But what if she says 'no?' Man this is tough. Rika's just so pretty. What do you think Matrix?"
The voice in his head, Matrix, replied," Just go with the flow. Also, you'll be late if you don't hurry."
"What! Why didn't you stop me while I was talking? At least give me a warning. We're a team you know." Max then grabbed his school bag and went out of his room. His adopted father, thirty year old, Reid Takiyama, was sitting at the table. Reid had curly, dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He wa wearing a black tee, blue jeans and white running shoes considering that his job as an NCIS Special Agent involved running. Max grabbed an apple and Reid saw that he was rushing," You'd better hurry."
Max told him," Don't worry, I can get there in like, five minutes on my bike. And I have ten before class starts. See ya at HQ after school." As Max got out the front door after putting in his shoes and grabbing his keys and helmet, Reid had a sarcastic grin on his face.
Max got on his black 2004 Harley and started it up. He then put on his helmet and swung his bag over his shoulder and drove to his school. He was able to get the school to allow him to drive his bike to school as long as it doesn't disturb the peace of the learning environment. Max knew that the moment that he steps in the school, the girls would start looking at him. That type of popularity is something that he doesn't really enjoy.
Rika Nonaka, a thirteen year old student in her school. She had her ginger hair that would normally go down to her shoulders in her normal spiky ponytail style. She too had a school uniform on.
A/N: Don't really know what her uniform is like. And I know that Rika's school is pretty much girls only, but in my story, boys and girls go to it. Thank goodness that this is fanfiction.
She was standing out front of the school's entrance, waiting for someone. Just then, she heard a girl's voice," Rika!" She looked to see her friend, Heather, walking up to her. Heather had short chestnut hair and wore a golden heart locket that belonged to her late grandmother. She then asked Rika," Why you waiting here?"
"No reason." Rika answered.
"Yea right." Heather said," Maybe you're waiting for Max 'lone wolf' Takiyama to get here." She whispered into Rika's ear.
"Yea right. Like I have interest in a boy like him." Rika replied. However, the slight blush she had while saying it didn't help. The two girls then heard an engine and Max on his motorcycle drove into the parking lot. He then got off and took off the visored helmet, his hair falling onto his shoulders. Max then looked towards Rika and Heather," We got about five minutes before class starts."
"Right." The two girls said at once. The three of them walked to class, mainly because they all have the same classes in the morning.
A/N: Before I continue, let me say that I did a lot of research. If only I study like that.
They got to their class, however, everyone were spread across the room. Asked one of her friends, a petite blunette girl, what's going on," Yo Miu, what's going on?"
"Huh? Oh, Heather. Teach hasn't gotten here yet." Miu replied.
"But Mr. Brown hasn't been late before, as far as I know of course." Max said.
"Since when were you a chatty one?" Rika asked.
"Quess I'm having a good hair day." He said sarcastically.
"Well, I heard from a kid who lives near him that a strange tremor occurred last night." Miu told them.
"I think I felt that too. Earthquake probably? Nah, couldn't be." Max then said. A man then walked into the room, average in height with short brown hair, Mr. Brown. The teacher then sat at his desk," Alright, free time is over, you can sit now. I'm sure that you're all wondering what happened. Well last night a minor tremor cause some glass to fall on my floor and I had to carefully clean it up before I got ready for work. But, it's fixed now. Luckily the china set that my mother sent to me from America during her trip is still in tact." Everyone then sat down and class began.
"Yay! Lunchtime." Heather say as she pulled out her lunch. She, along with Max, Rika and Miu, after saying thanks, started eating. Max then glanced at Rika to his left," Say, Rika. I was wondering if you had any plans for tonight?" Rika, who was drinking water at the time, spat on Heather, who was sitting in front of her," Sorry Heather. Anyway, no, I actually don't have anything planned. I mean, my mom is coming home from a trip. But besides that, nothing really though. Why, you asking me out of something?"
"You could say that. So?" Max asked.
"I guess, I'll say yes." Rika answered.
"It's a date then. How does eight sound?" Max then said.
"Good enough for me." Rika answered.
"Aww. Rika's first date. Tip though, the cutter, the better." Heather added.
"Very funny." Rika replied.
Max arrived at the NCIS Japan office, at first a person would think that it was a regular warehouse, but Max went up to the door and put his right eye in front of a small device next to the door. A blue laser scanner it and the door opened. Max then went into the elevator that was behind the door and went up a floor to the squad room. When the elevator stopped and opened to a room where there were multiple cubicles, each having an agent in them, usually awake, but every office had that one person who wasn't surprisingly slacking. Theirs was NCIS Special Agent Jesse Jackson, who was asleep.
A/N: Don't ask.
Jessie was twenty-five year old man and a member of Baron Matsanka's team. Jessie had short black hair and was wearing a suit and tie. Max then went up to Jessie and slid his feet off of his desk," Stay awake Jessie, it's bad enough that you got caught with that suspect last week."
Jessie woke up and defended," Remember, she came onto me."
"Sure, keep telling yourself that. Be lucky that she wasn't armed." Said a female voice. Jessie and Max looked to see that it was their other team mate, Crystal Peterson, a twenty-three year old female agent that had black hair that went to her upper back. She was wearing a white shirt and black jeans. Crystal was helpful to the team more than she may think because she, being half American, can help the team as a translator during certain situations. Crystal took her seat in front of Jessie's desk.
A/N: The desks are like the ones from the show NCIS.
Max then went to his desk next to Crystal. To Max's left was Reid in his desk. Max then mentioned," By the way Reid, I'm gonna need an escort for tonight."
"What sort of escort?" Reid asked.
"The escort for my date tonight." Max answered.
"Sweet, it's bout time you asked her." Jessie said.
"Now, the real question, what to wear?" Crystal then added.
"Hi mom. Welcome home." Rika told her mother. Rika's mother, Rumiko Nonaka, whom Rika was never surprised to be a model. She had dirty blonde hair and was twenty-eight years old, so she was pretty young, which makes sense because she had Rika when she was eighteen. However, despite the fact she wasn't around a lot and had her mother take care if Rika while she's away, Rika knows that her mother tries to do her best to provide for them. Rumiko then went into one of the bags that she brought in," Now, I don't know if this would help anything, but I got you this." She then pulled out a wrapped box like object and gave it to Rika, who then unwrapped it. Rika then saw an old photo of her when she was young with her mother and father. Rika then smiled," Thanks mom."
"I'm sure that your father would want you to have it." Rumiko replied.
"By the way mom, there's something I want to tell you and grandma." Rika then told her mother.
"And that would be?" Rumiko asked.
"I told you guys about that boy who recently started coming to my school, right?" Rika asked.
"I believe you did." Rika's grandmother, Seiko Hata, a forty-nine year old woman, answered.
"Well, he sort of. Asked me out." Rika told them.
"Really? Hey ma, I think I'll need a fan." Rumiko replied," I mean, congrats, but I haven't even met him."
Rika then reassured her," Trust me, he's a great guy. He's smart, handsome, occasionally funny. Pretty much what I want in a guy. Now, I want to ask you, what should I wear?"
"Where is it?" Rumiko asked.
"Don't know." Rika then said. The phone then rang, Rika answered it to find Max at the other end," Hey Rika, it's me, Max."
"How'd you get my number?" Rika asked.
"Let's just say I just lost about five minutes of my life that I'm sure I can get back and learned to use a phone book. Anyways, I called to tell you that the place I thought of going to is just casual. It's a small diner, but it's either that or an Italian restaurant." He answered.
"What's wrong with Italian?" Rika asked.
"It makes me a little, you know." Max answered.
"Alright, wait, aren't you half Italian?" Rika replied.
A/N: Irony.
"Yep. Then again, I'm fine with pizza. Nevermind, you still good." Max asked her.
"Oh yea. Most certainly. See you soon." Rika answered.
"See ya." Max said as he hung up. Rika then set the phone down and went right to the room to get ready.
A/N: Might need to do some copy, paste and cut.
She got out her usual outfit, a turquoise-turtle necked T-shirt with a broken heart on the front, short button-fly blue jeans, white socks, red steel-toed sneakers, and belt. She saw her D-Ark on her nightstand, and she wondered if she should take it. Even though their partners are in the DigiWorld, she kept her D-Ark, just in case. Rika then thought, knowing Renamon, she would say I should take it. So, I will. At least we'll be together spiritually. She then got ready for a night she'll probably never forget.
