Author: icarus_fly
Pairing: Daiki Arioka x Adventures HAHAHAHA! Dai-chan X OC <3
Summary : Daiki gets lost in space. LOL
Warning: It's something weird. Not shoujo-ish, sorry.
“You alright bro?”
“He’s gaining consciousness now. Move out.”
Daiki tried to stand up but his head hurt big time now. Maybe from the rolling or spinning…
“Itai~” He looked up to see a dozen pair of eyes hovering on him. Something was wrong… He looked around and saw a line of yellow cabs and a busy street. The sound of the traffic was even unbearable.
He could only say one thing at that time.
“Yabai.”

“I am from Japan! I want to fly to Japan now!” Daiki explained desperately in English.
A group of American teenagers eyed Daiki carefully.
The eldest black American asked. “Are you with those guys we filmed with earlier? Those who look like girls? Coz if you’re one from the team, you just missed them, dude.”
Daiki could not understand what he was saying. He could only ask “What?”
“The guys were from Japan too.”
Japan. For Daiki, it was enough to hear his country’s name. Maybe they were thinking of something which can connect him to Japan. He wanted to ask so many questions but he was limited only to the English words Keito and Hikaru taught him.
“Mou~ I just want to go home!” he said in his native language.
“Dude, the best thing to do is bring you to the Japanese Embassy. None of us can speak Japanese here. Oh, I learned some by the way. Yoku asobi, yoku manabe… Haha! And those guys looked like little girls to me! Are they all like that in Japan? Coz this one looks girly too.” They all laughed.
It hit Daiki in the face when he realized where he was in the world.
New York.
For a traveler, who plans to go around the US, New York is definitely a place to stop by. Food, shopping, entertainment…Even the nightlife in this city is most sought after.
But this was no field trip for Daiki. As much as he wanted to roam around the beautiful city he had no time for that. He had to look for a way to get back.
While he was contemplating on what to do next, someone was thinking of a bad plan.
“Yo Bryan, you think this guy’s got cash?”
“Branded clothes and a good pair of sneakers…with coffee spilt on it? A foreigner should have some cash with him.”
Daiki was cornered by some American kids. He knew right away what they were up to.
I see this in movies…
He tried to find his wallet in his jeans and jacket but he remembered that he might have dropped it while running through the Tokugawa Era.
Great! Just great!
“Stop picking on him Bryan! He looks scared and confused and…broke. He won’t do you any good.”
And Daiki saw her again. The same beautiful eyes that captivated his heart.
“Noriko…” he breathed her name.
“Whatcha doin’ here babe?” the black American asked the lady behind them.
“Shut up Bryan. And don’t call me babe.”
“Ouch! Miss China doesn’t want you callin’ her babe Bryan. Awwww…”
“You shut up too Tank. And how many times do I have to remind you I’m not from China. I’m Japanese, you dork!”
Daiki could smell hope.
“Noriko! Yokatta~ I think I’ve been transported to another…”
“Chotto~ Noriko? Who are you calling Noriko?”
“Ehh? You…you’re Noriko…right?”
“Haha! You sure are lost kid. I’m Alexis. My mom’s half Japanese so I get to know a few Japanese. And you are?”
“Arioka Daiki.”
“Are you new here Arioka-san?”
And when she said Arioka-san it sounded exactly like when the ninja called his family name.
Tell me this is not happening…

“Ehhhh?” Alexis crossed her arms and gave Daiki a doubtful look. Who in the right mind would believe that he came from the future to visit the past and go back sometime near the future?! But Alexis nodded. A sign of early comprehension.
She brought Daiki to the apartment she and her mom rented.
“Mom, this is Daiki Arioka, a kid from outer space. I’m gonna try to help him with his time-traveling problem. Could you bake cookies for us please?”
Alexis’ mom just smiled at Daiki and went back to the kitchen. Daiki could only bow in respect because he could not anymore explain clearly what was really happening since Alexis made an easier summary of it.
Now her mom thinks I’m an alien… He could only sigh.
Alexis sat across Daiki. He could see her clearly now. She was Noriko wearing a pink top and skin tight jeans. But Daiki swore she was the same Noriko…just born in a different time and place.
“So you’re telling me that you think coffee is gonna solve your problem?”
He nodded.
Alexis giggled. “You’re cool!”
“Mom, we need coffee too!”
“Coffee dear? Oh, we just ran out of coffee.”
Alexis looked at Daiki who was pouting and staring at the floor. She heard him sigh before straightening up.
But when she caught his eyes, he flashed her a calm smile. It was Alexis’ turn to blush. He was, after all, so cute.
“So, where do we get coffee now?”
Alexis smirked. “Starbucks.”
______________
Daiki laughed at the thought of what they were doing. They were lining at the counter to get coffee only to spill it on his shoes afterwards. Crazy. Everything was crazy in the first place.
They got what they wanted and headed off to a park just in front of the store. Some kids brought speakers with them to practice some street dancing and Daiki could only chuckle at the song playing.
Coz baby tonight…the DJ’s got me falling in love again.
They were now facing each other. Alexis had the same smile planted on her face…the smile that tells him he’s crazy but Daiki didn’t care. Crazy is in his system already.
“So you’ll pour it and then Pooof! you’re gone? Is that how it works?”
“Uhm…I’ll try to run…and then roll and then spin.” Because that’s what he’s been doing.
But Alexis could only laugh real hard on that. “Okay…okay… you’re call then.”
He poured the coffee on his sneakers and waited for it to settle in his shoes. While waiting for that he just took time to stare at her. He wanted to…
“Kiss me? You want to kiss me before you disappear?” She was smirking.
How did she…Oh well, Americans.
And American she was. She leaned in and kissed him.
“See you in outer space~” She giggled.
Daiki could have just fainted right there…in shame and shock.
Wasn’t it supposed to be me who’ll do the first move?
And then the he could feel the magic work. He took few steps back before starting to jog.
He looked at her for the last time and said “Thank you.”
But she was all amused by what was happening to him.
“You should run, roll and spin right now! You’re disappearing! Amazing!”
“Huh?”
But his feet were doing the job already. He was running.
Now, all he has to do is roll, spin and hit something again. He prayed that this time it would work.
