Another odd-team up! But can it work? Get set to turn up the radio and fine out!
Herochan1313 doesn't own Persona or Jet set radio, as if you couldn't guess.
"You mean you couldn't arrest a few ruffians who have been spray painting all over the city? What need of you of my services then?"
Naoto Shirogane was one of the best detectives in the Tokyo-to area, despite being only a child, but when the local police asked for her
in a case she became quite baffled. Apparently a bunch of punks, or Rudies as they were also called , who had formed a gang know as
the GG's had begun spray painting all sorts of logos and symbols all over the city and had eluded the arm of the law for months now.
Why a detective was needed for such a case confused her but the captain of the police explained the plan it all fit together….sort of.
"I know it seems odd to call you in detective Shirogane, but we figured if we cannot catch the GG's we need to find the cause of their
misbehavior. As someone with a knack to reading clues even adults can't see we need your help."
That made sense in theory, Naoto even forgiving his calling her of a child, but it still sounded poor and terrible. If she could understand
what she was being said then she was to get close to a dangerous gang and try to find out why they did what they did. She thought
this would fail from the start, but for some reason she felt like she had to do this.
"Ok captain Onishima ….I can try my best but I give you no guaranties.
A few days later after following a trail of abandoned spray cans Naoto found the first symbol of the day, along with the GG who was
painting it. His build was quite muscular and his hair was bleached blonde, which was rare for a Japanese person, and he had multiple
earrings. He wore an ill fitting pair of jeans and a shirt with a jacket over his shoulder, and on his side was a skateboard with a skull
design. Naoto would have apprehended the teen at once but when she saw what he was spray painting she stopped in her tracks. On
the wall in front of him there was now a bright blue card of sorts with a silhouette of a man with a hobo's stick upside down. The bright
splash of colors complemented each other greatly and for a moment Naoto was frozen in place as the GG finished up his handiwork. At
the last moment he turned around and nearly jumped back causing her to remember her job and cry out.
"Are you a member of the gang known as the GG's? If so I have to arrest you for questioning!"
At first the teen had a look of confusing at seeing a fellow teen say such a thing, but once he saw the badge pinned to her breast his eyes grew wide.
"Ah shit! You a cop? I gotta bail before Beat tears into my ass again for getting caught!"
Before she could react the youth grabbed his board and hightailed it out of there, leaving Naoto in the dust wondering how such a
skilled artist could hang with common punks.
Back at the GG's hangout, a hidden club house under a well forgotten bridge in the Shibuya-cho area, the youth had just barely made it
without any cops on his trail. He thought he was home free until another teen with dark red hair and sunglasses sneaked up on him and
said.
"Had a fun day kanji? Didn't meet any cops or some other Rudies didja?"
The youth, now known as Kanji, answered the question not knowing who he was talking to and replied rather rudely.
"Hell no! That asshole of a captain can't turn a bunch of wimps into cops tough enough to even catch up to me! 'Sides long as Beat
don't know I was late I'm all good."
The other teen coughed a bit and Kanji turned and grew pale as he saw the leader of the GG's, Beat, glaring at him. He began to slowly
back off in an attempt to run but he backed into someone and he turned and saw another teen with orange hair with red shades and a
creepy smile.
"Yo-yo! Mind moving outta the way?"
The creepy teen, Yo-yo, shook his head and said in a odd voice.
"Sorry Kanji, you know the rules. You late from the tagging you have to do the dishes!"
After about an hour long rant from Beat about being late Kanji ended up doing all the dinner dishes, much to his dismay.
"Damn! If it wasn't for that weird cop girl I'd have made it in time! Wonder what her beef was?"
Kanji asked himself this mid-way through his chore and decided that next time he went tagging he'd fine that chick and have his
revenge!
"Oh my, girl trouble Kanji-ji? You're growing up so fast!"
The person who had said this was none other than the first female GG Gum, in her long sleeved outfit and helmet as always.
"S-Shut up Gum! I ain't messed with a girl!"
His sudden blush and bad stuttering seemed to claim otherwise and the female Rudie giggled and cheerfully remarked.
"Ok Kanji-ji! Just try to keep in line!"
With that she left Kanji alone with his thoughts and his soapy dishwater and an urge to kill his fellow GG.
"I've learned a few things captain, but without a GG to question we're in a runt."
Captain Onishima didn't like what Naoto had told him a week later but he still had to admit it was the best progress they've gotten.
"Hmm…maybe if you find a GG and talk him up my men can bag him!"
Naoto agreed with the idea but to her surprise she didn't want to do it for her job's sake, rather she found that she wanted to find that
one GG again. After a week of finding his symbols that she dubbed "Arcanas" she'd realize that she wanted to talk to him. When she
left the captain's office she went to find any trace of the GG's, and found her youth as she always did: in the middle of a master piece.
This time she was prepared and quickly walked behind him and began to talk, ignoring the art for now.
"That's quite the work of art, why just spray it on the wall like a common punk?"
Kanji, yet again not noticing who had asked him the question, beamed at the praise and replied.
"W-Well no one would take it seriously if I wasn't with the GG's! They'd just poke fun of it like always…."
Naoto felt a touch of pity for the boy and asked him for his name.
"It's Kanji, Kanji Tatsumi."
He finally turned and saw who he was talking to and just as he began to freak out they both heard a loud voice yell.
"NOW!"
All of a sudden Captain Onishima and his men surrounded Kanji and within moments had him in handcuffs and he was glaring at Naoto as he said.
"You're dead now bitch! The GG's aren't going to let this slide!"
His words stung her heart like an icy chill and it wasn't until hours later that she learned why: she had fallen in love with the GG known
as Kanji. His artwork had been far too good for a street punk, but she understood why it was like this. A big, strong guy like him would
have gotten laughed at by most, but under the façade of a GG he was free to do as he wished. Naoto knew what she had to do, even if
it went against everything she learned and knew. She had to go to the GG's and help break Kanji out.
Done! Two new stories in a day? What magic is this! Please review and fav!
