My first Seraph of the End fic, so let me know what you think! I've decided to write a modern AU fic since I would love to see the characters (especially Guren) as a police detective fighting crime!
I do not own Seraph of the End and it's characters.
"Mahiru! It's going to be okay!" A black haired man shouted to an ashen haired woman. The teary eyed woman and someone had pointed a gun to the side of her head. "Take the shot Guren! Just do it!" "Shut up woman! You there, lose the gun or I'll shoot!" The black haired man had pointed a gun on the two. He trembled. "It's okay! S-shoot him!" And he shot. The man had pulled his trigger at the same time and the ashen haired woman fell to the ground, blood gushing out of her head.
Guren's eyes shot open and he stared at the ceiling of his room. He bathed in sweat. "Again with that…" He panted. "Mahiru….." It had been 4 months since the incident and he had lost his partner. Today was his first day back at the office. He was getting a new partner and was not looking forward to it. Guren ran a hand through his hair and slowly rolled out of bed. It was 5:00 am and he was wide awake as usual. Guren put on his trousers and a white shirt. He grabbed his black jacket and made himself some sandwiches. He groaned when he thought about the day to come. The black haired man watched the news after he was done eating. Before he left his apartment he grabbed his car keys and his badge and left for work.
Guren Ichinose works as a detective at the Hiragi Police Department in Tokyo. He was very good at his job. The black haired man was an elite detective and had solved many cases with his former partner Mahiru Hiragi. The Elite detectives were mainly Hiragi's, but Guren had forced his way in and was partnered up with the ashen haired woman. He always thought she pulled some strings to make him her partner. She was an Hiragi after all. But she wasn't there anymore.
"You're back!" Someone shouted when Guren entered the little building next to the normal Police Department. The woman shouting at him had crimson red hair and a big smile on her face. Her name was Mito Jujo.
"Yeah." The woman flicked her long ponytail over her shoulders and stood up, wanting to approach him. "Don't bother Mito." He gestured her to stay on her seat and sauntered over to the Chief's Office. "What a bother…." He muttered to himself as he knocked on the door and walked into the spacious room. His eyes met with the Chief, who sat behind a neatly organized desk. Kureto Hiragi.
"Good morning Guren!" Kureto had a smile plastered on his face as he gestured Guren to sit down on one of the two sofas. Guren grumbled. Of course was he happy to see him again. The dog he could drop all the stupid cases on. Cases like missing persons who probably left the country or nasty murders. "I found you a new partner." Kureto immediately got to business. He didn't like small talk. That was one of the few things Guren liked about him. "But she's late." He continued. She? Damnit. "She's from a poor family, just like you Guren. Has enough talent to be in the elite though. I think you'll like her." The smile changed into a grin and something told Guren that he was not going to like the woman assigned to him.
"Misato Fujikawa." And just as he was about to read her file, the door opened without knocking and a brown haired woman walked in.
"Sorry I'm late. I forgot my cigarettes at home." A smoker…. Damnit. Guren raised his eyebrow in response to the sudden walk-in of the woman. She sat down on the other sofa without waiting for Kureto's permission. You could see his eye twitch. "Why did I get summoned here? Previous reports said I was unfit for the 'Elite'." The woman started. Sarcasm coated her voice and she was obviously not happy being here. Guren couldn't help but grin.
"There has opened a new position here at the office and your superiors deemed you worthy for the job." Kureto explained. The woman cursed.
"Perfect chance to get rid of me." She muttered.
"Your new partner is sitting next to you Fujikawa. Guren Ichinose." Guren grumbled.
"Nice to meet you." The woman said unamused.
"You may leave now." Kureto continued. "Oh and one more thing. Fujikawa, if you're late one more time, I'll make sure you get punished."
"And what would that punishment be." She replied, narrowing her eyes at him.
"It would be a shame if someone would hold your salary for three months." Kureto said, the smile still plastered on his face. He obviously enjoyed it. Guren left the office and to his annoyance, the woman followed him.
"I'm Misato." She said to his back.
"Not interested." Guren replied. Misato didn't reply. Guren raised his eyebrow. He still expected some kind of answer. But the brown haired woman walked out and grabbed a pack of cigarettes from her long coat. Guren noticed sunglasses were resting on her head as she walked out. He sat down behind his own desk and turned on his computer. A blond haired man sat down on his desk and Guren sighed again. There's pain in the ass number three and it's not even 10:00 am.
"How're doing Guren?"
"I'm fine Norito." Norito Goshi sipped his coffee and crossed his legs.
"You sure don't look like you're fine. Did Kureto give you another awful case?"
"No he assigned me a new partner." Norito smiled.
"Was it the woman who just walked out?" Guren nodded unamused. The blond haired man straightened his black jacket and walked out as well.
Misato leaned against the building walls and lighted up a cigarette. A blond haired man walked over and stood next to her. "Do you have a lighter?" He asked. Even though Misato's face was twisted up in annoyance, she nodded.
"Here." Norito lightened up his pipe. "Woah, old school are we?" Misato said, looking at his old fashioned thingy.
"I just tastes better." The blonde replied with a smile.
"If you say so." "I'm Norito Goshi by the way. I heard you were Guren's new partner. Did you come from the Police Department?"
"You talk too much."
"Yeah, I hear that a lot." Norito still smiled. Misato puffed out some smoke.
"I'm not exactly happy to be here Detective Goshi."
"Just Norito is fine. And why is that?"
"I'm born into a poor family and it's just the elite families around here. Also my superior officers forced me to accept it since I was a bother to them. It wouldn't be such a problem if I was paired up with a Hiragi, but instead I'm stuck with Ichinose. It's nothing personal but my life is going to be a living hell around here."
"Don't be so sure about that. Your skill matters the most around here. What I'm interested in is why such a hottie as you would be a bother."
"Excuse me?" Suddenly the door was kicked open and a black haired man glared at the smokers.
"You. Get in the car. We've got work to do." Misato dropped her cigarette and stamped it out with her foot.
"Only if you ask nicely." She replied. Norito couldn't help but chuckle.
"Get bent." Guren simply replied. He walked over to his car.
"Is he seriously going to leave without me." Misato whispered. Norito exhaled some smoke through his nose.
"If you don't hurry."
"Great…" Misato walked after Guren and sat next to him in the car. They both said nothing. Misato took out her phone and texted some of her old colleagues.
"I'm stuck with the most grumpy partner ever!"
"aww…. At least you made it into the elites… Hang on girl and we'll meet soon!"
Misato grumbled. 'Soon' always meant 'never'.
Guren stopped in front of a red light. "Are we almost there yet." Misato started.
"No." Another silence. The light turned green and the black haired man hit the gas pedal. Maybe I should quit my job… Misato thought. Being a detective was a dream come true for her, but if it had to be this way, she'd rather quit. She'd prefer to being a regular cop who gave people parking tickets. And as if Guren could read her mind, he reached out for something behind his seat and gave it to her.
"Almost forgot. Chief Asshole told me to give you your new badge." Chief Asshole? Well then…. Misato took it and examined her proof of being an elite detective. She put in the inside pocket of her coat. Misato decided to take a nap. Guren wasn't talking to her anyway.
