I don't own Rosary and Vampire or Final Fantasy XIII though I do love both very much.
Ah, I've been brewing this one for quite some time and I'm very interested in seeing your reactions to it, considering it's a new pairing for me. I've done Moka with Rias, Moka with… actually haven't done that yet, you'll have to wait til tomorrow for that. Anyway, I like putting Moka with people to see how it works out with their personalities.
This one is another one that features Ura and Omote as two different people, much like Eye Scream did, but this time they're in the same body more like the canon. You'll understand as the story goes on, I'll allow you to read and enjoy now.
Lightning groaned as she walked into work. The busy office was quiet due to not many people having arrived yet. Lightning moved to the locker rooms and took out her uniform, changing quickly and giving no time for the security guards watching the camera to see much of her figure. Heading back out to her desk, she sat her bag down and began filing the report that was due tomorrow on a case her team had solved yesterday. She was nearly halfway finished with it when something caught her attention.
"Hey Light!" Lightning glanced up to see her field partner, Fang, walking in.
"You're late." She huffed.
Fang shook her head with a grin. "No, you're just half an hour early." She chuckled.
Every morning it was the same greeting and the pair had grown used to it. Fang didn't take it to heart and Lightning ignored the brunette's comment on her punctuality. The younger officer went back to the report, knowing Fang would be doing the same within seconds and the brunette would be complaining about it for the next hour.
Sure enough, Fang groaned out in frustration as she began her paperwork. The pair worked in silence for the most part, despite the occasional growl of irritation from Fang. Lightning stifled her sighs and growls of annoyance at her partner's obnoxious behavior and continued with her own report. She was nearly completely finished when a voice cut into her conscious.
"Man, why do we have to do so much work on this stuff?" Fang griped, not at all happy with the amount of work.
Lightning had finally had enough. "Well, maybe you should do your paperwork the day it's assigned so that the day after you can catch up on sleep or do something useful with yourself that doesn't involve complaining about work that's due the next day."
"Aren't you just full of rays, Sunshine." Fang sighed, rolling her eyes as Lightning did the same at the nickname.
"Morning, ladies." Sazh, the senior field agent called to them as he set down his breakfast.
"You're late." Lightning told him.
"No, you're always an hour early." The tall man replied.
"See, Light? I told ya you were early." Fang snickered.
"Sazh!" Chief Amodar called. "My office, now."
Sazh glanced at his breakfast before moving to the Chief's office and shutting the door behind him. "Yes, Chief?" he inquired.
"How is Lightning's progress?" Amodar inquired, turning to his old friend.
"Very slowly. She's taking everything seriously and doesn't seem to understand the team's humor, leading to several awkward moments while in the field. She is very quick to chase a suspect when they are making a run for it and her methods aren't always what we expect them to be." Sazh relayed the information he had been finding out since he met the pink-haired woman a year ago.
"A whole year and she's still not comfortable around the pair of you?" Amodar sighed.
"Fraid not, sir." Sazh shook his head.
"Well then, do you remember the case we talked about? The one Fang suggested?"
"Yeah." Sazh said slowly. "Are you suggesting-?"
"Yes I am. This should be the thing to do just the trick." Amodar handed Sazh a folder and the taller man accepted it, glancing at the front with a grin.
"Don't worry, Chief." Sazh chuckled. "If this doesn't make Lightning loosen up, then I quit."
"I hope she loosens up soon then." Amodar laughed. "I don't want to lose my best agent three years before his retirement date."
"Aw, you know I'm not retiring until I'm dead." Sazh waved to him.
"I know old friend. Now back to your team."
"We've got a case." Sazh called, walking back from Chief Amodar's office.
"On what?" Lightning asked, instantly alert.
"Looks like a local strip club's not been credited with actually having a license to be open. We've gotta do some undercover work to see if the owner's doin' their job."
"And that's our job?" Fang asked, receiving a wink from Sazh.
"Yup. Bar doesn't open until sunset, so be ready by then, understood?"
"Yes sir." The two junior field agents replied calmly. Lightning looked between her senior field agent and her partner, wondering what the wink had been for. Probably something to do with the fact that Fang's probably already been there before. The young officer huffed.
Sazh handed Lightning the file and had the pinkette look over all of the details while Fang was tasked with finding out any additional information on the club that the file didn't bother to contain.
Lightning opened the folder that had been handed to her and began reading over the details. The club's name was Rosary Lounge and the logo was a rosary with a pair of fangs sinking into the horizontal arms. Lightning scoffed at the design, but she had to admit that it was pretty original. The owner was a woman named Moka Akashiya and she ran it as a café during the day called Cross Bite. The logo for the café was the same for the lounge, which probably made making fliers and brochures easier.
Well, the woman sure is resourceful. Lightning inwardly mused, looking over the list of names of the people that worked there. Tsukune Aono, Kurumu Kurono, Ruby Tojo, Fang-Fang Huang, Mizore Shirayuki… the list went on for a few more names and Lightning nodded. I'll have to check out which ones work there during the day and which ones at night.
The day continued without much incident. Fang showed the coordinates, annual income rates and usual celebrations while Lightning checked out any records of criminal activity around the place. Both came out with nothing out of the ordinary except that it was the leading club in town, surpassing Chimera Hangout and The Cat's Miao.
Lightning was positively itching to get going and she kept glancing at the clock anticipating the coming sunset. Finally, Sazh glanced out the window and noted that they were an hour past the sunset, perfect time to head to the club.
"Alright, it's sundown. Getcha stuff and let's head out."
And there is your chapter one. Pretty much self-explanatory, right? Yeah I know, sometimes that can get boring, but it gets really tricky fitting these things in in the introductory chapter so I need to do it while I can. Plus, they're the police, so they go over this stuff anyway.
Tell me what you thought of it. REVIEW!
