A/N: Wow. I'm actually
gonna try to write a CHAPTER story! I suck at these cuz I NEVER have time to
finish them, but let's see what happens here, shall we? This takes place in an
alternate universe, where the chosen children cross paths by way of destiny, but
now they are older, wiser (except for Davis, who's just stupid), and a tad bit
more psychotic. Oh yea, and it takes place in boring old America. I wouldn't
want to deface the Japanese culture, so I decided to do it to the good ol' US
of A instead. Happy reading!!
Disclaimer: Tasuki (who
unfortunately isn't in the story) owns all. MWAHAHAHA!
Rating: PG-13 for a lot of
bad language, and violence later on.
UPDATE!!! 4/17: I combined the first 2 chapters because I
felt that the first one was too short alone, so if you've already read this,
read it again because you might've missed the second part, which I just uploaded
today.

Chapter One- Caught
BANG, BANG, BANG!!!
"I thought you said that this plan was fool proof!!"
"Well, I didn't
count on you botching it up, Motomiya!"
"Well,
excuse me for being human!"
"I hate to
interrupt your lovely argument boys, but the guards are on your tails, and
they're about to bust your asses unless you get the hell outta there!!"
"Thanks for
the warning Yolei, but I think we already knew that." Davis Motomiya ducked
behind the wall of cargo boxes and fiddled with his gun as more guards
appeared, shooting at Davis, and aiming to kill. "Oh, shit, boss, I'm outta
ammo. Do ya think you could hook me up with some of yours?"
Matt Ishida
glared at his young accomplice as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a
few extra firearms. "Yolei, I'm gonna need some backup. See if you can get TK
to pull the chopper over to the 3rd floor emergency exit on the left
wing, stat."
"Ken's
flying the chopper, sir."
"Whatever!
I don't care! Just remind me not to bring Davis-butterfingers along during an
important mission like this ever again!"
"Roger that,
Matt. Ken's coming you're way and should be there in about 60 seconds and
counting."
"Davis, get
your ass towards that emergency exit on your left! The chopper should be there
in a few, so be prepared to jump!" Matt yelled as he jumped out and fired at
the guards, just barely dodging the returning fire.
"What about
you?" Davis asked, watching the blond man shoot down each guard, one after
another until he ran out of ammo.
"Forget
about me." Matt answered. "Yolei and TK should come up with a plan to help me
later, anyways."
"Are you
sure?" Davis asked nervously. He felt guilty because he knew that it was his
fault that the mission was a failure. If he had only listened to Matt when he
told him not to touch the noodle display… If the boss dies… it'll be all my
fault… But what could he do now? Matt would do anything for them, even if
it meant his own death.
"Davis,
when was I ever wrong?" Matt dropped his gun and pulled out his last grenade.
"I'm gonna throw this at the door, and as soon as it blows, I want you to make
a run for it, okay? The chopper should be there. If you say or do anything to
disobey me, the consequences will be dire."
Davis
nodded as Matt hurled the grenade across the floor at the door, which was a
large amount of feet away, and hit the ground as it blew up. Then knowing that
although Matt cared a lot for them, but was always true to his word, sprinted
towards the exit while Matt pushed the cargo boxes towards the guards and used
his last gun to cover Davis. Sure enough, when Davis finally stepped outside,
the huge stolen army chopper appeared, along with Yolei and TK to help him in.
"Where's my
brother?" TK asked. Davis pointed back into the dreary building, revealing
Matt, who was still putting up a fight against the guards who were beginning to
overtake him.
"Boss, what
the hell do you think you're doing?!!" Yolei screamed into her receiver, which
delivered the message to Matt's small earpiece hidden under his long, wavy
blond hair.
"Trying to
save your butts!" Matt answered back.
"Well you
can't do it single-handedly, so come on!! We still have time for you to get
over here!"
"No, you
guys are going without me! If I try to escape now, you'll lose time, and the
police will be able to track you so you won't be able to escape!"
"And just
how do you know they aren't tracking us now?"
"I just do.
Trust me on this. Now get out now, that's an order. I'll be fine!"
"Are you
sure?"
"Must we go
down the same path as Davis?" Matt asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Yes!! Now go, I'm terminating the connection." And with that, he took out and
crushed his earpiece, dropped his gun, and surrendered to the guards. He had
nothing left to defend himself with.
"Let's go
Ken. It looks like we're gonna have to bust the big guy outta jail later. That
could be tough." Yolei said as Ken pulled out away from the premises, and flew
high into the night's sky. Davis sighed with relief, thinking that they were
finally safe.
"Oh, don't
think I forgot about you, Davis." Yolei said in anger at the young man. "If
anything happens to Matt—"
"I'll take
the liberty in making sure you pay for it, bit by bit." TK finished. "And
that's a promise."

"Hey, Takenouchi, you done filing
the report yet?"
"Just give
me a few more minutes." Lieutenant Sora Takenouchi said, briskly pounding on
the keys in front of her. She prayed to get the station's financial report
completed and faxed to their insurance company before the 5 am deadline. It was
4:39 am, and she and the captain were the only ones left in the dark building.
"You know, Tai, it'd help if you'd quit bugging me every five minutes."
"Lieutenant,
as long as we're in service, you will address me as Captain Kamiya, is that
clear?"
"It wasn't
clear when we were in that office an hour ago." Sora instantly regretted what
she said when she saw a gloomy look pass over Tai's face.
"Sora…
please… don't make it any harder for me… for us than it already is."
Sora looked
away and sighed. "I know. I'm sorry Captain, it won't happen again."
It had been
like that for months. Tai and Sora were old high school sweethearts and had
joined the force together. They were both known for their superb skills and
techniques, and were promoted quickly— they were only 25, but ever since their
boss had found out about their ongoing relationship, they were forced to stop
seeing each other. Of course, Sora had the choice of quitting the force for
Tai, but he wouldn't hear of it. "Sora," he had said. "I love you
more than anything in the world, but I would never let you jeopardize your
career because of me. I'm sorry, but this relationship has to end." Sora
knew he did it for the best, but she often wondered if it was all a big
mistake. By not giving up her job, she ended up losing more than she had
bargained for. She had lost the love of her life.
Sora turned
back to her report and tried to push any thought of Tai out of her mind. She
had a job to do, and he wasn't it. Eventually, nothing was heard in the dark
building of the Seattle Police Department, except for the clitter-clatter of
the keyboard under Sora's hands.
I'm
sorry, baby… Tai thought as he
found himself staring at his old flame. I never meant to hurt you the way I
did. He sighed silently to himself. God, she looked so beautiful in her
uniform, with her red hair falling on her shoulders, casually framing her
delicate face. He wanted to reach out and touch her so badly, but he couldn't.
He had already made that mistake just an hour before, and if his supervisor
ever found out…
Suddenly,
the telephone rang. Tai fumbled around to find the phone as Sora looked up in
curiosity. Who would be calling at this hour?
"Hello,
SPD, this is Captain Taichi Kamiya speaking." Tai paused for a moment and
furrowed his brow as he listened to what the caller had to say. "Really? Well,
I'll be damned. Yeah, sure you can bring him over, we have enough room in hear
to house an NSYNC concert, God forbid if there ever is one. Yeah… no, thank you
for your offer! I'll see you then!" Tai looked at Sora in excitement as he put
down the phone.
"Who was
that?" Sora asked.
"It doesn't
matter." Tai answered. "Just prepare a cell downstairs, Lieutenant, Yamato
Ishida's spending the night."
* * *
"Take your
grimy hands off of me, you bastard!" Matt Ishida ordered as the police officer
threw him into the closed-off jail cell.
"There, ya
happy?" The officer said with a smirk on his face as he slammed the cell door
shut.
"Go fuck a
donkey."
"Ooh,
touchy, touchy." The officer laughed. "You'd better make yourself comfortable,
ya white piece o' trash, 'cause we're shippin' you off to D.C first thing in
the morning. Government's orders."
"Oh, I'm
trembling in my boots." Matt muttered sarcastically.
The officer
drew out a gun and pointed it at the thief. "Boy, you will respect my authority
in my presence, so if I were you I'd shut my mouth before I get my head blown
off."
Matt rolled
his eyes and spat on the officer's shoes. "Is that a threat?"
"Why you
little—"
"Whoa! What
the hell's goin' on in here, Johnson?!!" A man with the wildest brown hair Matt
had ever seen burst into the room in fury and snatched the gun from the
officer's hands.
"I was just
tryin' to teach the kid some manners." The officer said with a hint of envy in
his voice. Although he was at a lower rank than Tai was, he was much older.
Much, much older.
"Did I give
you orders to teach him some manners?" Tai demanded.
"No sir."
Johnson mumbled.
"Exactly.
Now do yourself a favor and get outta here. You've done enough for one night."
"But
Captain-"
"I SAID GET
YOUR PETTY ASS OUT OF MY BUILDING!!"
"Yes sir,"
Johnson choked out as he ran past the captain and out the door.
"Good. Now
that that's settled." Tai turned to Matt, who was staring dumbfoundedly at his
new visitor. "I'm Captain Taichi Kamiya, and I'll be guarding you for the next
two hours, whether you like it or not."
"Oh, and am
I supposed to be scared of you too?" Matt asked in a bored tone of voice.
"Boy, I
don't care if you're scared of me, or jumping at the chance to beat the living
shit outta me, you're gonna follow my orders as long as you're in my building."
"And what
if I disagree?"
Tai smirked.
"We don't wanna go there now, do we?"
"I can blow
your head off in more ways than one." Matt remarked.
"Really?"
Tai laughed. "Because last I checked, you were the one locked in that cell, and
I was the one on the outside, with an gun." He paused and checked his reflection
on the steel plates of the wall separating the two before continuing. "Besides,
I thought you were Yamato Ishida, world class thief, not Yamato Ishida, world
class murderer."
"What I am
is really none of your business." Matt hissed. "Anyways, what's a kid like you
doing as captain?"
"I'm not a
kid, I'm 25." Tai said. "I believe you're the kid, kid."
Matt shook
his head. "Nope. I'm 25, too. Been in the thief business for 10 years."
"Really? I
wouldn't have guessed. Wow, corrupted as a young kid."
"Hey, I
wasn't corrupted, I chose this path!"
"Sure you
did. That's what they all say."
"Fuck you!"
"Tai?" A
young red-haired woman poked her head into the room, interrupting the men's
squabble. "A lady is here to see you. She says it's urgent."
"Lieutenant,
it's Captain, remember?" Tai replied. "And can't this wait? I'm sorta busy."
Sora walked
over to Tai, shaking her head. "She's from the CIA." She whispered into his
ear.
"Really??"
Tai exclaimed in surprise. "What a night, first the thief, and now this!" He
took the gun that was still in his possession and handed it to Sora. "Listen
Lieutenant, I want you to watch Mr. Ishida for me. If he tries any funny
business, don't hesitate to use this."
Sora took
the gun uneasily. "Okay Tai- I mean, Captain."
Tai gave
Sora and Matt a final glance. I hope she'll be all right. He thought.
Then he left.
"So you're
the captain's girl." Matt smirked. "Aren't inter-job relationships illegal? And
between two law enforcement officers, too! Tsk, tsk."
Sora glared
at the prisoner who was obviously taking joy in all this torment. "We had a
past. Not that it's any of your business, Yamato."
"Please!
Call me Matt! Only stuffed up pricks call me by my full name!" he exclaimed.
"Okay… Matt…anyways,
what gave you the idea that we were a couple?" Sora asked in suspicion.
Matt rolled
his eyes. "Oh god, do you notice the way he looks at you? It's sickening! So
full of affection… it makes me wanna hurl. And you! You're even worse! 'Tai-
I mean, Captain!' HA! You people crack me up!"
"Shut up!
You don't have any right to judge any of us! Besides, you're just a stupid thief,
what would you know?"
Matt's
teasing eyes suddenly darkened at the statement. "Hey, listen chic, just
because I'm a thief doesn't mean I'm not human. I have a heart too, ya know."
"That's
hard to believe." Sora muttered.
"Yeah? Well
you can go suck a dick! Tai's, to be more specific. Or should I say Captain?"
"Hey! I
have a gun, you know!" Sora snapped in anger.
"Sure, but
you're too afraid to use it, aren't you?"
Sora
ignored him.
"See? Don't
underestimate my intelligence, Lieutenant." Matt stated as he settled down in
his cell and closed his eyes.
Finally,
after a few minutes of silence, Sora spoke up. "Oh, and Matt? About me and Tai?
We're over."
"Whatever…"
He grunted in reply, not really caring anymore. He dozed off, leaving Sora by
herself in the empty room, silently crying.
* * *
"Hello?"
Tai walked into his office to find a young woman of about 23 sitting by his
desk. "My lieutenant told me that you were from the CIA and that this was
important?"
"Ah, yes."
The woman answered, self-consciously poking at her hair, which was pulled back
into a tight bun. "I'm here to discuss the situation concerning Mr. Yamato
Ishida. I understand he's got a flight booked to Washington DC in approximately
two hours, right?"
"Yeah, that's
correct." Tai answered suspiciously. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no
reason." The woman answered. "There's been a slight change of plans." She
reached into her purse and pulled out a piece of paper. "I've got a document
here stating that Yamato be transported to New York instead. President's
orders."
"Is that so…"
Tai muttered as he took the document and scanned it through, checking for signs
of forgery. "Do you have a number I can call to see if it checks out?"
"The White
house." The woman replied. "And I believe you can find that number on the
document."
"I see…"
Tai picked up the phone and dialed the requested number. After a few minutes of
being put on hold, someone finally picked up.
"This is
the White House. State your business, and we'll decide if it's important enough
to be discussed."
"Yeah, I'm
Captain Taichi Kamiya of the Seattle Police Department and I'm here to verify
the circumstances of Yamato Ishida being transported to New York City."
"Oh yes,
Yamato Ishida." The voice answered knowingly. "We have a flight scheduled for
him to New York in 30 minutes. Is that a problem?"
"Oh, no!"
Tai exclaimed. "I was just making sure-"
"I'll tell
you what, Captain, as a token of our appreciation, we'll let you and your
lieutenant ride along to New York for the thief's prosecution. It's not
everyday an ordinary police station holds the world's most notorious thief, eh?"
"Really?"
Tai said. "That'd be great! Hey… wait a minute…I never told you I had a lieutenant
with me!"
"Captain,
we're the CIA. We know everything." And with that, the line went dead. Tai looked
at the phone and shrugged.
"Hey lady,
guess what? Your boss just invited me and Lieutenant Takenouchi along for the
trip."
The woman
looked confused. "Really? TK said that?"
Tai raised
his eyebrows. "TK? Oh, I see. You and your boss are on a first name basis!"
"Oh, no! We're,
um, good friends as well as business partners!" the lady stammered.
Tai nodded
his head. "Sure you are… well, I better get going. Don't wanna miss the big
flight now, do I?"
"No, I
guess not." The woman agreed.
Tai got up
to tell Sora the good news when he suddenly remembered something. "I'm sorry
miss, I never got your name."
The woman
smiled. "Why, I'm sorry! How silly of me to forget to introduce myself! I'm
Miyako Inonue!"
A/N: So… how d'ya like so far? This is just the beginning, since
I'm planning to put ALL of the current Chosen Children (Season 1 and 2) in the
story. Hehehe… if it sucks, who cares, I got 2 more chapters to type up, and we
can decide from there, right? Also, please tell me if I spelled Miyako's last
name correctly, cuz I suck at spelling. Thank God for spell check. Okay…
R&R!!
