Hey readers. I absolutely fell in love with the entire Chobits story and now I have a plan to write one of the best. I want to revive the Chobits archive. I plan for this story to be an epic so expect it to reach over 100,000 words near the end. Also when I use the (*) separation line, it usually means a scene transition or a pov switch. Just in case you were wondering. Well on to the introduction.

I do not own Chobits. It belongs to CLAMP.


The rain began to pour down on the streets of Tokyo. He looked up as the first drops began to fall upon his skin. The rain seemed to match his mood. It wasn't fair. He had given over a decade of service to his country and others. All he had to show for it was an honorable discharge. It wasn't as if he had done something wrong. No. He had been let go due to medical concerns. They said he was deteriorating due to extended combat and stress. Since he had joined the United States military at sixteen, he had put his everything into becoming a perfect soldier. He had quickly risen up the ranks due to success in the field. At eighteen he had been offered a spot on one of the world's greatest Special Forces units. He had served five tours in some of the most hellish places on earth. Only to be let go due to something like this. His final rank had been Master Sergeant. One of the youngest and last to actually serve in duty. Master Sergeant Jonathan Grimm. Taken down by stress. If it wasn't so wrong, he would laugh. He was now making his way down to a secluded apartment complex on the edge of Tokyo. The US government had made sure he was well off of course, but…. He wasn't really a materialistic person. A small room would do for him. He had been to Tokyo during an assignment when he was twenty. It was the most beautiful places he had ever seen. Nothing like it had existed in the states. That was the reason why he had decided to move there after retirement. Though he hadn't expected retirement to come at twenty-six. He turned down a side street and walked towards the entrance of the apartment grounds. He could see the old yellow walls of the complex. Even in the rain, they somehow looked inviting. He was to meet with Chitose Hibiya, the owner, and set up in his new apartment. They had a new opening due to someone recently getting married and moving out. 'Good for them,' he guessed. The rain began to fall harder. He was tired.


Hibiya Chitose stood from her chair as she spotted a man enter the apartment grounds. She had been expecting someone to show up for a few hours now. When the downpour started, she had the idea that the meeting had been canceled. She kept watch just in case. Thankfully her notion that he might show up was correct. She made her way down the stairs of the old familiar apartment. It wasn't lonely with Motosuwa-san and Chii-san around, but the place could use a new patron. She reached the bottom of the stairs just as the man entered. She immediately noticed that his clothes screamed military. Everything from the camo pants and green t-shirt, to the beret on his head. She gasped slightly as she saw the long thin scar above his right eye. It went from the top of his forehead to the middle of his cheeks. It ran right through the eye, but it didn't hit the eyelids. She guessed that he had a close call. If it wasn't for the light of the lobby, she didn't think she would have noticed it. He stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Jonathan Tobias Grimm. It's a pleasure to meet you Hibiya-san." Grimm said, slowly lifting from his bow. Quickly composing herself, Hibiya also bowed.

"Ah, nice to meet you too, Jonathan-San." Hibiya said. Jonathan chuckled a little, causing her to give a questionable look.

"I guess I forgot to mention I'm American. Jonathan is my first name."

"Oh, forgive me Grimm-san. I am sorry," Chitose said as she bowed again.

"It's okay. I should have told you," He said with a slight smile. Well at least his manners were good.

"So, I expect that you will want to get to your room right away, you're soaked," Chitose said. Grimm looked down at his clothes as if he had just noticed. He didn't look too worried. If anything he looked disinterested.

"Hmm. Didn't realize it was raining that hard." He looked up at her, "I'm sorry Hibiya-san, Didn't mean to track water in. Yeah I should probably get cleaned up." Chitose smiled at began to walk up the stairs with Jonathan at her heels.


"You have neighbors. Their names are Motosuwa Hideki and Motosuwa Chii. They're not technically married yet, but…Well, it's a strange situation. You'll know when you see it," She said as they continued up the stairs. Jonathan decided to take her word for it. They made their way to the empty apartment and Chitose opened the door. Turning on the lights, she looked at him.

"The gas and electric are already on. Ano... Don't you have any boxes?" She said confused. Grimm shook his head.

"No…This is all I have now," He said gesturing to the bag on his shoulder. She frowned at that. Shaking her head, she smiled once more.

"Well, I'll let you settle in. If you have any questions about appliances or rent, just ask me. I'm right down stairs. Grimm nodded and she shut the door. He sighed. Walking over to the window, he looked out at the distant city. It shone like a jewel. It really was beautiful. He walked over to a corner of the room and sat down. He still didn't have any bedding, so he just leaned against the wall. It wouldn't be too bad, sleeping like this. He had slept through worse.


The sun shined through the window as Hideki lay sleeping on the bedroll. He groaned as the bright rays hit his eyes. Slowly sitting up he felt an arm fall from his side. Looking down, he spotted the one woman that helped him continue in this harsh world. Chii lay there still sleeping. He stared at her for a while. She really was beautiful. The way her golden hair framed her face. Her chocolate brown eyes, always curious. That simple catch phrase of 'Chii' that still sent his heart fluttering. They had been together for almost a month now. Since the issue with 'The Syndicate'. It had taken some time to get used to the relationship, but they were doing fine now. He still was a little bit nervous about showing public displays of affection, due to her being a persocom, but he wasn't ashamed. He loved Chii. That was all there was too it. She was his world and he would treasure her for the rest of his life. He smiled as he stood up and walked over to the sink. He decided that today would be a nice day to visit Shinbo and Shimizu-sensei. They had gotten a place just twenty miles from the cram school. Shimizu was still trying to get a job as an elementary teacher, but no luck so far. He and Shinbo had been attending a local community college for the last month now. He still couldn't believe that he had passed. They only had two classes together, but they still saw each other a few times a week. Everyone had thrown a big party when he and Shinbo graduated from cram school. Yumi and Ueda had shown up along with Minoru and Yuzuki. Both couples had been getting along very well, despite the age difference. Although Minoru still had a few years to go before the relationship hit a romantic point. At the party, everyone had been surprised when He had told them what he was majoring in. Agriculture Sciences. He had grown up on a farm most of his life. He knew much more about that topic than Shinbo did computers. Hideki finished brushing his teeth and washed his mouth out. Over his shoulder he heard a slight whisper of 'Chii' and turned around. Chii was just waking up. He marveled at her as the light framed her silhouette. Smiling he greeted her.

"Good morning Chii." She looked up at him and smiled. Getting up, she got dressed and headed over to where Hideki was cooking breakfast. He had also asked Hibiya-san for cooking lessons. He didn't want Chii to have to cook every time he was hungry. It didn't seem right. As he cooked, he suddenly remembered what Hibiya-san had told him the other day about a new resident. The man showed up last night while he and chi were out at the store. He knocked but the man hadn't answered. Must have been asleep. He might as well see if the man was up and introduce himself. It was only polite. Finishing up the breakfast, he put his meal on the table and began to eat. Chii continued to watch him with that smile that never got old. Life was pretty good.


He could tell he was dreaming. Due to being a constant light sleeper, Jonathan had a sense of awareness that most people didn't possess. He was back in basic. He could see the tall concrete buildings around him which held various classrooms and training courses. The smell of freshly cut grass and rain assaulted his senses. It had been almost eight years since he had set foot here. After he had graduated basic, he had gone back for advanced training after his first tour. He continued to look around. Off in the distance he could spot the old muddy track. He used to run that thing every day during free time. Since privacy was scarce, running that track was his alone time. He was brought out of his musing by an approaching figure. Upon recognizing the person, he immediately saluted. Hey it might be a dream, but he was still a soldier. The man was none other than Captain Terrance Stayton. He served with the man in two wars. Stayton had basically been his mentor during training. His copter had been taken down by an RPG in North Korea. They never found him.

"What are you waiting for Marine? You were ordered down to the Briefing Room five minutes ago. Double Time it!" Stayton yelled.

"Sir, yes sir!" Grimm yelled as he took off towards the cafeteria. He knew this dream now. He had had it many times before. He was beginning his training to obtain a position in the Marine Corp Special Forces. In the future he would be assigned to a special unit that was only used in the most dangerous situations. A unit that he would serve the rest of his days as a marine in. Walking into the briefing room, he was relieved to see that he wasn't the last on there. Walking over, he sat down in a chair and waited for the rest of the attendees to arrive. When everyone had been situated, the officers walked into the room. Everyone stood before being put at ease. Sitting back down, the top ranked officer walked to the front of the group. Another familiar face. General Aaron Byron Shields. He would not die a soldier's death. Cancer would take him in two years… He began to speak, "Welcome. You have all been selected as candidates for a special program that has been in effect since the mid 1900's. The Special Forces. Your performance in basic training has caught the eye of the brass and we intend to see if you have what it takes to become a true soldier. We don't have much time, so I will get to the point. Your departure to your next training camp will be immediate. Many of you here will be separated into different branches over the next three months according to skill, prowess, mental, and physical superiority. The better you perform in an area, the higher the chances you will be put in a corresponding branch. In time you---" The General was cut off by a thumping noise that startled Grimm. Was there an attack? This hadn't happened before. What was going on? He looked around, but nobody else was responding to the noise.


Grimm awoke with a start. A knock sounded at his door. Sitting up from his position on the wall he stood and straightened his beret before walking over. Opening the door he came face to face with two individuals. One was a small woman. He guessed she was around seventeen, eighteen. Her hair was long and golden. Her eyes were a dark brown and she held a curious look on her face. Her ears gave her away as a persocom. She wore a rather elaborate dress that would have looked out of place on any other person. The other person was a male, looked to be around the same age as the girl. He looked slightly tan and had a smile on his face. His clothing was rather plain. A grey shirt with a green coat. Plain jeans and sneakers. A rather friendly looking group. He guessed these people to be the ones Hibiya-san had mentioned. Hideki and Chii. Hideki stepped forward and bowed.

"Hello, my name is Motosuwa Hideki. It is a pleasure to meet you…ah?"

"Grimm Tobias Jonathan," Grimm said, pronouncing his name correctly this time. He bowed to the pair of them, before Hideki turned around and looked at Chii. She smiled and stepped forward.

"My name is Motosuwa Chii. Nice to meet you Grimm-san!" She said rather energetically. He smiled.

"Chii-san huh?" He said. She was rather strange for a persocom. Chii just smiled.

"Chii is Chii. Hideki gave me that name." She said bouncing slightly. He chuckled. She was cute. Grimm turned to Hideki. The man was staring at her with a look of longing. He understood what Hibiya-san meant now.

"I haven't seen anyone pursue a persocom before. You two make a nice couple though," He said. Hideki laughed while scratching the back of his head nervously. Grimm could tell what was wrong. They obviously hadn't been together long. Hideki was still nervous about the relationship. He was worried about what he would think. Grimm decided to put him at ease.

"Well, as long as the two of you are happy together, that's all that matters right?" He said. Hideki looked shocked for a moment before giving a real smile.

"Yeah. That's right."


Well how was the first chapter. I know that the Chobits Fan Fiction archive is small, so I know I won't get many reviews here. But even one review would be nice. Although I will still write, It would help my self-esteem. So, please review.
