First off as the description says this is my first even fanfic so I need help making it good. It will be a SM bases fic though the first chapter will only have minor references to SM as it is setting up for the event in the title.
Let me give a little info on my dialog set up now,
Normal: "Man, what hit me a truck?"
Internal: Man, what hit me a truck?
Language (Other than English (or Japanese), or translated speech (magical or otherwise)): <Man, what hit me a truck?>
Translated (Via magic or a device, indicating that the people speaking do not speak the same language): (Man, what hit me a truck?)
Signs, all: [Man, what hit me a truck?]
Emphasis (on words, phrases, or sentences): "Man, what hit me a truck?"
Innuendo (on words or phrases with connotations other than above; i.e. sarcasm or other ): "Man, what hit me a toy truck?"
Typed (Anything typed like in a chat program or on something else that allows for typed conversations.): *Man, what was that? An earthquake?*
Summary: Sometime getting befriended leads to strange events, in this case a possessive doctor of theoretical sciences decides that someone has to be taught a lesson for being a friend. Yet someone else pays in ways even the 'good' doctor has no way of knowing. So Displaced in time can a young college grad make a new life and can he survive the changes yet to happen to him in the process?
This is updated with changes...
And now the first part of chapter one:

________________________________________
Billy Rhodes-Tenashi politely bows to the receptionist as he makes his way out of the office building and toward the hotel that the company, White Star Scientific Industries, provided for this trip and his interview with them. All in all, the interview had gone well White Star was one of the leading companies dealing with theoretical sciences and electronics among other things, and one of the few that seemed to be hiring new employees at all currently. White StarÆs Juuban office was a surprise in itself, set in a twelve story building where there was a very high level of security and a lot of activity whenever he was there. It was almost like they were working on projects there, but Billy figured that the projects were nothing more than advertising and other administrative. I mean why would anyone work on theoretical projects in the middle of a population center. ThatÆs just asking from trouble, what with the power sources some of the projects useà Still the upper management types he had seen so far seemed to have more brains than to do something like that.
The fact that he can speak Japanese almost as well as English was a big plus here in Japan. The hiring manager seemed to be happy that Billy was basically fluent in Japanese, written and spoken. Fresh out of college and with a very good prospect job wise, guess the GPA helps, but then a 3.85 out of a 4.0 is good, and as the interviewer said it shows I do other things besides just study. Well the æinterviewÆ is over and I should know one way or the other before I head back home next Tuesday. That gives me three days to relax and see some sights. Still what an interviewà
Man, for a first interview to be with a review board was intense and I hope I did not come off as too nervous in there. Still the way most of them where smiling at the end makes me think I have a very good chance at this position. Though that one doctor had a really annoying attitude. It was almost like he saw everyone else as being beneath him or something. Even strange to me is that he works in the theoretical physics department or something not in the theoretical electronics section. Though he could have been there as the two most likely work together. But yeesh, with that attitude I wonder how he got any level of seniority here or anywhere. Still surprising that one of the ladies I did that practical check with offered to show me around the local sights later with some friends, I wonder if she is seeing anyoneà Billy takes a look around the shopping district that he is passing through to get back to the hotel. All the little shops and eateries, it is almost like a mall turned inside out to him.
Still I want to go to the Hikawa Shrine myself before meeting up with the others later. I may as well change into something more suited sight seeing before going anywhere. I mean a suit and tie is not how a tourist normally dresses. Ah there is the Osa-P jewelry store I am not far from the hotel then. With that Billy walks the rest of the way back to the hotel where he is staying, Hotel Green. Not a bad place and fairly quiet the entire time he has been there so far. Hotel Green is a basically a nice hotel for business people and others that are not really tourist. Though it is cheaper than most of the normal ætouristÆ hotels here in Japan. And it is clean and quiet with nice rooms and even places with coin laundry on some of the floors besides the normal vending machines.
Going back over the interview in his head; Three days of questions and testing to see if they should give me the position, man they do not play around and just get right to the meat of the interview. Still it was a surprise to me, here I was thinking that this was going to be a normal second level interview. But man, questions about what is the best shielding for different types of radiation. How to adjust electronic circuits and devices so that can work properly with wildly fluctuating power and inputs. Lords I am just a grad student, I do not have a doctorates. A lot of what they asked I had no idea about, but some I had read about at least when I read ahead on some classes Ah there is the hotel, time to change to more comfortable clothing. Arriving at the hotel a few minutes later, Billy heads to his room after checking for messages and gets changed for some sight seeing. Time to relax and have some fun, then meet Aiko and her friends for more of the same.
________________________________________
While Billy was heading back to his hotel to change and go out sight seeing, someone else was working in a fairly cramped room surrounded by many computer displays. These displays were showing all manner of data and information to the lone individual there. Dr. Katashi, or simply Katashi-sama to those that work under him, and everyone works for him as far as he is concerned. Is currently carefully entering commands and checking several displays after each command judging the information and any changes shown.
Dr. Nathain Lee, one of the several foreign researchers working with Dr. Katashi, or as many call it enduring the brilliant doctor of Temporal Physics and Dynamics, sticks his head into the cramped room.
ôAh, there you are Sir, Dr. Sato is looking for you. I think he wants your report on the new guy that was interviewed over the last few days.ö He waits for a response, after all the head of their department is looking for this guy so I should get some answer, shouldnÆt I? But knowing Katashi-Sama like I do Dr. Lee shutters thinking about how the temporal researcher preferred that title, HeÆll wait as long as he can to answer. And I canÆt just walk away till I know he heard that our department head wants him. After a couple minutes with no response from the working doctor, Dr. Lee leans in more to get a look at what the good doctor is so engrossed in.
ôI thought we werenÆt running the Temporal Piercing theories for at least another year so we can try working out any bugs in the testing systemà Or are you just checking you figures again?ö
At this comment Dr. Katashi turns to Dr. Lee and blocks the screen from future view. ôWhat I am doing is nobody's concern but mine. Besides it is a smart move to recheck information several times before even running the main test sequences. As to the report on the candidate for the open theoretical electronics position I will turn that in when I finish here. Now, if you will excuse me I have work to do that is more important that standing around and talking about who wants what and when to some one that just rides around on my work and discoveries.ö With that he pushes Dr. Lee from the room, then closes and locks the door to the terminal room.
Dr. Lee just looks at the door before starting to walk away toward the offices, thinking. Man, he is a royal pain normally, but he has never pushed anyone back before for any reason in the 5 years I have been here. That and why does he need to run those equations and commands through the main Temporal computer via the secondary access terminals? I mean the systems in that room are directly connected to the main Temporal Systems that are still being inspected and checked over. I guess I better let Dr. Sato know about him using the TS secondary access terminals, as I doubt he got clearance again. More and more security is being instituted and more procedures to gain access to the Temporal System. But with what the Temporal Systems runs off of I can understand the need to be careful, one false step and half this city will be wiped off the face of the planet. Things are getting to the point where we have to pay more attention to procedure and security than doing our research now. Though Dr. Aiko Suki seems to have more of the temperamental doctorÆs attention then she, or anyone, likes. With that he heads off to find Dr. Sato and tell him where Dr. Katashi is and that he is acting more annoying than normal. Shaking his head over the fact that Katashi-sama is starting to get really hard to work with, especially if he keeps acting the way he is now.
Back in the now locked system access room, Dr. Katashi is working on the main terminal now and is entering what seems to be a program into the main system. If anyone was in the room with him they would wounder why he seems to be rather angry. No one takes my girls from me; no one unless I say the girls can see anyone else. I am sick of letting this slide so now I will make sure folks know I am the one that says who can do what and when. Work comes first, then my desires and wants, then others if I allow it. He looks over the program, equations and data he has entered carefully during the last few minutes before adding another section to the beginning of the program he just entered over the last 45 minutes. ôThis should work, and even if it does not I will at least get the information and data I need to make the adjustments for the final equations, but if it does I will be recognized world wide for the fact that I am the best in Temporal Dynamics. Now to make sure the recording systems are synced for this and set the timer to initiate the whole package once I am at the airport heading away on my planed vacation.ö He finishes his typing and moves to leave the room saying to himself, ôThe encrypted recording system I installed last year is finally going to get real use other than just my personal notes. Also the new lock out security is not due to be installed till the day after tomorrow so my backdoor here is good. I wonder what old saintly Dr. Sato and that short sighted Dr, Takado think about me knowing everything they want to keep secret. I will have my recognition and awards for this now. Not in 10 years when I am too old to really enjoy it.ö He smiles cockily as he opens the door, ôNo one will be able to break my encryption on the control program before the system goes to the final state and executes my program, then it will be too late and Lady Aiko will know my displeasure at my favorite ignoring me.ö
With that he leaves the room, never once noticing the new addition to the room in the form of two cameras in the ceiling. One of them facing the door and several of the secondary systems. The other one covering the main terminal, its keyboard and monitor as well as the chair he sat in for the time it took to enter the program. Both of which are active as the little red power active lights are on, but the housings around them make that hard to see at best.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reviews, comments, and suggest are welcome and needed to try and make this better. Thanks for any help folks.
Edit: I am sure this is easy to tell that this is going to be an AU of sorts and more details will come out as this progresses, I just hope to do well on this try at fan fiction.
Edit 2: Fixed some spelling and grammar issues.
36 views and no response, so either there is nothing wrong, or no-one feels the need to comment. Though in any case the next section should be up soon, even though I am moving to a new location in about a week I hope to have the next part of chapter one done soon... If I can that is with work and moving items as well.
