Chapter 1
"Hoooly shit..!" A male cop uttered in a shocked tone as him and five other male officers of the law had just walked into the alley where the two warriors of the night, Issei and Kuroka, had just dealt out their own violent brand of justice on two criminal groups who were carrying out a weapons deal with each other just a couple of minutes ago.
"That's not a pretty sight." One of the other officers groaned in disgust as he cringed when he laid his eyes upon the groinless corpse for a short moment. 'Poor bastard looks like he got the worst of it..' He internally commented.
"Fuck, I think I'm gonna be sick.." Another officer complained as he covered his mouth when he felt like he was just seconds away from throwing up the contents of his stomach when he saw the blood and ripped flesh that was littered almost all over the concrete ground. He was just about to leave the alley when another officer who appeared to be the oldest out of all of them spoke up with a composed voice.
"Keep it together son. You're a cop for god sakes. You shouldn't be afraid to look at this sort of stuff when coming upon it." The authoritative officer scolded the sick officer before he sighed and shook his head in disappointment. 'Damn rookies..' He complained. "One of you go to your car and call this mess in." The older officer ordered.
"I'm on it." Another one of the more composed cops responded before he started to walk back out of the alley and went to his police cruiser to inform the precinct about the crime scene.
The older officer hummed and narrowed his eyes out of curiosity when he noticed the briefcase that was full of yen. "Now, what do we have here?" He questioned no one in particular as he walked up to the case and kneeled down right by it. He then turned the case around so that the latches were facing his way before he would undo them and lift up the lid. His eyes widened when he feasted his sights on the money that was contained within the case.
"Shit.. That's a hell of a lot of money.." One officer commented with an awestruck look and voice as he was looking over the shoulder of his superior officer.
"Yeah.. it is.." The older officer responded with a curious sounding whisper. 'What I'm wondering now is; why exactly is this money concealed within the case to begin with? Usually people don't do that unless they plan on trying to do something illegal.' He pondered as he brought his right hand up to lightly rub his chin.
"Hey, we got some more bodies over here!"
He was snapped out of his thoughts when the voice of another cop had shouted from deeper down the alley to where the bloody and very much deceased buyer crew were.
The pondering cop pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind as he stood back up and walked on over to where the second dead group of criminals were, stepping over a dealer goon's corpse as he was making his way over.
"Who could have done all of this?" One of the cops questioned as he looked over the mess that Issei had made out of the goon's.
"Your guess is just as good as ours, friend." Another officer answered.
The oldest of the officers immediately noticed the closed container of weapons that was close by them. "Open that up, let's see what's in there." He ordered as he looked at one particular young cop who was to his left before cocking his towards the container.
"Yes sir!" The young cop acknowledged before he rushed on over to the weapons container and undid the latches when reaching it. He cringed when he noticed the two dead bodies right by it. He forced himself to ignore them a second later as he lifted the lid up to reveal the plethora of AK-47s that were hiding in the large cube shaped case. "Holy crap..!" The young officer exclaimed under his breath as he was unable to take his eyes off of the assault rifles.
"Hmm, at least now we know that they were definitely doing something illegal down here. An arms deal by the looks of it.." The older officer determined as he eyed the guns intensily, now able to put two and two together when thinking back on the money. He then slowly looked around at both of the dead groups of thugs before stopping on the dead leader of the buyer crew who seemed to have been killed while sitting against the back bumper of their van and the corpse's head was hanging forward. A noticable large stab wound was able to be seen going through his clothes and through the center of his chest. Blood was slowly dripping out of the apparent fatal wound.
'And whoever did this to them obviously didn't intend to let them go home happy.. I don't know whether to thank whoever did this for taking scum like them off of the streets.. or if I should be afraid of them for what they may do to the other bad eggs in this city when they get their hands.. or blades on them..' With that thought, a chill travelled up the older man's spine.
Meanwhile; on the rooftops of Kuoh..
"Well, I think I'd call this a successful first night of patrol!" Issei chuckled as he and Kuroka jumped from one rooftop to another in one swift and synchronized motion before resuming with their freerun along the roof that they had landed on.
"I think I can say- Nnagh!" Before Kuroka could finish her response, the two once again jumped across an alleyway gap to go onto another roof. "the same thing!" She finished.
After doing just one more jump to another rooftop, the two ninjas decided that they had gotten far enough away from the bloody scene to take a breather. They skidded to a fast stop in the middle of the flat roof and their slightly heavy breathing could now be heard as the sound of the harsh breeze that was blowing against them had come to a complete stop as well.
After taking a minute to regain their stamina, Kuroka spoke up again. "So.. What do we do now? Are we calling it a night or what?" Kuroka inquired as she curiously looked to the brown haired boy a few feet to her left with her hands gripping onto her hips. Her breasts puffing in and out repeatedly with each slightly deep breath that she took.
Leaning forward slightly and holding onto his bended knees, Issei took just a few more breaths to ensure that he had the right amount of air in his lungs to speak properly. When he felt he was good enough, he then pushed himself up to stand straight again before bending his upper body forward and backwards for a moment with his hands now at his waist and he looked to his black haired beauty of an ally with a small smile curved on his lips after he had pulled down his mask. "Yeah, I think we should do that. I mean, we do have school in a few hours." He answered while still releasing breaths that had a bit of weight to them. "Plus, I'm pretty damn beat now.." He sighed tiredly.
"Good point." Kuroka acknowledged with a single nod.
"You still think Koneko's gonna be pissed at us for going out without her?" Issei asked as his breathing pace managed to steady up a tad bit more.
The blackette stiffled a chuckle as she grinned nervously while rubbing at her head. "Oh, no doubt about it.. I'm gonna be in for quite an earful when I get home." She admitted anxiously as she rolled her neck.
Issei scoffed before commenting on her statement. "I find that kind of hard to believe considering her.. usually quiet self."
Kuroka groaned as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Fine, let me rephrase it in a way that makes more sense. I'll probably be in for quite a fistful when I get home. There, that's definitely better." She corrected herself.
Issei was then heard stiffling a near full blown laugh as he brought his left hand up in front of his mouth and he steered his head to look off to the side in an obviously amused manner.
The sexy blackette was confused to see him react in such a way as she quirked a brow upon observing him for a moment. "I'm sorry, what's so funny about what I just said?" She, with genuine concern, questioned the brown haired ninja as she remained looking baffled.
Composing himself quickly, Issei cleared his throat as he forced his wide grin to go away and he presented a calm demeanor. "Nah, it's nothing, it's nothing.. I just.. thought of a.. j-joke!" Once again, he stiffled a laugh that was less intense this time around upon recalling the extremely ridiculous thought that had entered his mind a second ago when she said the word 'fistful'.
Kuroka was still a bit clueless about what had the teen boy suddenly so chipper, but she didn't worry about it for too long as she dismissed it as him having some sort of wild immature thought, which wasn't a rare occurance with him believe it or not. Though most of the time he was a gentleman, Issei did have a perverted side to him that would make itself known at unexpected times.
"Whatever, you loser.." She huffed as she took a final deep breath before her stamina would truly be regained and she moved to walk over to one of the ledges of the rooftop that overlooked the barely vacant street that was a few stories below. "Anyway, if we're free to head on home. I might as well take my leave first, I think I've kept my little sis waiting for long enough. The sooner I explain myself for leaving her out, the better." She sighed as she lifted her right foot up onto the ledge and looked down to the street with a worrisome look on her face.
Getting over his dumb thoughts, Issei swiftly put on a calm and somewhat serious demeanor as he approached his partner side. "Kuroka, I can understand why you don't want Koneko being out with us like this.. But you can't try to hold her back from doing what all three of us had agreed to do. I mean, we are supposed to be a team, after all. Yes, even though she does have a.. small frame to her being, but really, despite that, she's.. she's a big girl that can fend for herself well enough on her own out here. I mean, if she can put up a hell of a fight with us, then I don't doubt it." Issei spoke with a scoff as he looked to Kuroka with a short lived grin before he then looked at her with concern filling his gaze when he saw the frown that was now curved on her lips.
"I know she can Issei.. but.." Kuroka sighed as she crossed her arms under her breasts and looked up to the glimmering moon above that was illuminating their part of the eastern hemisphere beautifully. "You know that she's the only real family that I have left in this world, and I.. I can't lose her.. I just can't.. If I did, I don't know what I would do.. I mean, we did just deal with thugs that had fucking guns on them, and I know that was one of the many risks that we would face when doing this, but.. I just couldn't help but wonder earlier.. What if something was to go horribly wrong and she suffered because of it? Think about it, what if Asia were to be in her Shoe-" Before Kuroka could continue on any further with what she was trying to get across to the male brunette, her speech was halted when a weakly cringing Issei had raised his closest hand to her up by his shoulder as a gesture for her to stop speaking.
"Okay, okay, that's enough. Please.. don't finish that." He uttered with a downcasted tone before he then let out a deep sigh himself. "I'm just saying, we made quick and easy work out of those guys. I doubt that it would have been any different if she was with us because.. Alright, look, when I say this. I'm by no means trying to offend you, but this is just how I feel.." He took a breath before he resumed with what he was saying a few seconds earlier. He tried to remain relaxed as he noticed that Kuroka was now shooting him a rather scary looking glare, a frightening glare that pretty much informed him that he should proceed with caution and choose his words very carefully; which he would do to the best of his ability. "The outcome wouldn't be any different because, and I'm not so sure about you, but I do believe in your sister's kick ass abilities. Don't you? Jesus, the girl's so strong, she can take me in an arm wrestle and almost break my arm. Hell, she almost did the other day." He chuckled at his last comment, which was also successful in making the blackette scoff in amusement as she nearly let out a giggle at the remark.
After that, the two fell silent for a few awkward moments before an unsettled Kuroka would speak up again. "It's not that I don't believe in her stength, or her combat prowess.. It's just.. God, Issei. You're an elder sibling, you already know what it's like to imagine your little sister facing life threatening danger head on." She said with an almost irritated tone.
"Like I said, I understood the reasoning behind your actions.. but you gotta remember that she wants to be just as much in this as the two of us are. So don't let you holding her back make things.. tense between you guys. That's all I want you to keep in mind for the future." It was after saying that to the buxom blackette that Issei hopped up onto the ledge of the rooftop and he crouched with bended knees before looking back at her from over his shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll.. *sigh* I'll definitely keep that in mind." She hesitantly acknowledged the browned haired male's words as she took her turn to step completely onto the ledge with him, but unlike him though, she stood tall on it. She then shot the boy a smirk when she slightly turned her head to look at him. "Hmph, this is the first time that I've seen you be so wise, Issei. It's kinda surprising.. yet, also kinda hot." She chuckled.
"Pfft, woman, what are you talking about? I've always been so full of wisdom. This is just the first time that you've ever actually listened to it." He scoffed as a smirk of his own appeared on his mouth.
"You're also so full of shit sometimes." She retorted with a teasing tone of voice, the two warriors sharing a brief quiet laugh at that.
"Fair point." Issei shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyways.." He then pulled up his mask to hide the lower half of his face once again when things had relaxed. "See ya tomorrow, Kuroka. Goodnight. Oh, and good luck with your sister." He bidded his partner a farewell, taking his turn to tease her with what he had said last.
"Night Issei, and gee, thanks so much." She rolled her eyes while smiling at his comment. "See you tomorrow." The blackette returned the favor as the two then wasted no more time on heading back to their respective homes. They jumped off of the ledge and got the move on the old fashioned ninja way; sticking to the shadows..
Sometime later..
"Home sweet home.." Issei whispered to himself after he had hopped up to his bedroom window that was opened up a crack. He pushed up the window slowly, but not so silently as it was making a slight scraping sound while it was being opened. Opening it up enough for him to fit through, he carefully entered his room.
Without making a sound, the male brunette stepped onto his bed that was right below the window sill. After doing that, he then moved to step onto the floor before he would pull down his mask and let out a deep sigh of sweet relief.
'Alright, time to put the gear away and crash out, thank God..'
As soon as he thought that, Issei immediately had become frozen in place when he heard the sound of his bedroom doorknob being turned before the door itself would begin to slowly creak open.
"Issei..? Is that you?" A cute and timid female voice called out to him.
Once more, he had a reason to sigh in relief as his lean figure relaxed, knowing exactly who was there judging by the sound of her voice alone. He then smiled as he turned his body to face the door and the person that was trying to enter. "Yeah, it's just me, come on in." He responded assuringly to his unexpected room visitor.
"Oh thank goodness." Sounding more at ease, the girl at the door opened said door completely to reveal herself to the ninja..
The cutie of a teen girl that showed herself to Issei had long golden blonde hair that went down to her lower back, big beautiful green eyes and a smoothe fair skin complexion. She possessed a figure that was mostly slim, but had rather modest curves to it in all of the right places. Appropriate considering the time of day it was, she currently wore a dark teal colored nightgown that ended at her knees and was showing off just a slight bit of cleavage.
"Did the window wake you up..? Sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen, Asia.." Issei unnervingly chuckled in a hushed manner as he brought his right hand up to rub at the back of his neck, facing the floor slightly while still looking up at the girl, who's name was Asia, with a flustered gaze.
"It's okay, I was actually still awake anyways." Said Asia with a small smile as she walked into the room before she quietly shut the door behind her so their conversing wouldn't wake up the adults of the home who were fast asleep at this point in time.
"You didn't try to get any sleep?" Issei questioned as he looked at the blonde girl in concern.
Stopping a foot in front of him, Asia shook her head as she looked up at the taller than her male with her nonchalant smile remaining curved on her lips. "I didn't." She replied. "It is not exactly easy for me to try and get some sleep when I'm constantly worrying about my big brother possibly getting hurt while he's out trying to protect the city." She admitted with a demeanor that appeared to be brave at first glance, but if one were to gaze into her emerald colored soul windows deeply enough, all that could be seen within them.. is fear; which wasn't hard at all for Issei to detect.
Issei frowned as he looked at his younger adoptive sibling with a guilt stricken expression, the same feeling striking at his heart as he realized just how much his recently self-assigned duties had affected the girl. He had assured Asia many times that he would be alright before he left out for his and Kuroka's stealthy patrol earlier in the night, but, evidently, even after doing that, he sees that it still wasn't enough to ease her concerns even a little bit.
Yes, Asia was well aware of the little team that him, Kuroka and her own little sister had put together, and yes, she was also well aware of their honest reasons for why they had formed it. In the beginning, when she had found out about their plan by accident when she came across and, out of curiosity, read an agenda book of Issei's when she was giving his bedroom a thorough cleaning one day, she did try to talk him out of the whole idea for a number of reasons that should be very much obvious.. However, Issei had made it abundantly clear to the blonde girl at one point that he was adament on his decision and wouldn't dare allow her to have him forget about his vision of a better and safer Kuoh. It was when he told her that that she considered revealing their intentions to their parents.. and even the police. In the end though, she did not go through with that idea as she just couldn't bear the thought of her big brother.. the one who had her by the heart.. holding any resentment towards her. It was the last thing that she would ever want.. Well, as long as he was doing what he thought was right.. Right?
"Asia.. Seriously, you have no reason to worry. The scum in this city ain't got nothing on me and the girls. We can take care of ourselves, as well as them, just fine." Putting on a cheerful demeanor, he took a step back before he lifted his arms up slightly to present his whole form to Asia. "See? Not even a single scratch or bruise." He informed her as he turned his well toned upper limbs enough for her to get a good look at the areas that she couldn't see initially.
While she was more relieved to know that he wasn't trying to hide any wounds from her, it did nothing to take away her dubious feelings. "Issei, I'm always going to be worrying about you.. You should know me well enough by now that you can't ever expect me not to worry.." She responded as she once again took a step forward to come close to him. "It's just what we little sisters do for our older brothers, after all." She softly added.
Issei let out a deep exhale through his nose as his arms slowly lowered when Asia had proceeded to give him a steady and gentle hug.. One that he feels he doesn't deserve.. Her arms wrapped around his waist while she nestled the right side of her face into his broad chest. "Yeah.. I know.." As he usually did, Issei brought his left arm around his sister's lower back as he moved his right hand up to the top of her head before using said hand to brush her hair with his fingers. "I suppose that this is just one of those things where actions speak louder than words.. So I'll just keep showing you that I'll be alright, and that I'll keep on coming back to you, don't ya worry." He whispered to her confidentally as he managed to crack a smile while he leaned his head forward to plant a kiss on the top of the blonde's forehead.
"Do you promise?" Asia replied with hope evident in her voice as she turned her head to face the brown haired ninja before she lifted her head to look up at him dead in the eyes with an almost serious look, her hands coming between them so she can lightly grasp onto his garments by his abs.
Meeting her gaze, Issei didn't think about his answer for too long as he was already certain on what he was going to say to Asia.
"I promise." He grinned.
"And when have I ever broken a promise to you?"
Elsewhere..
Quietly sneaking into her own dark home through her bedroom window as well, Kuroka took a deep breath of calmness after she had managed to shut and lock her window without it making much noise.
Before she could relax and enjoy being in the comfort of her own home however, she released a startled gasp as her eyes widened when she heard an all too familiar monotone voice speak up from behind her while she was still facing the window.
"Welcome back, big sister.."
And there's the next chapter.. finally. I apologize for the lateness in an update. So much of life going on right now and so much of other stories to attend to. I'm trying to do as much as I can when I can. I appreciate you for being patient with me. And I also apologize for the rather.. crude joke that I made in this chapter. I'll admit, I just wanted to take a moment to be a dumbass with that. 'XD I won't do something that bad again, I swear. It's a one time thing. Heheh.. Anyway, onto zeh updated harem!

Alrighty! I added in just a few more lovely ladies to the harem because I do actually agree with those that say there should be more now that they made me think about the initial list being quite the basic harem for Issei. It did need to be spiced up a little I think as well. Hell, the more the merrier, eh? XD Thankfully, I have managed to come up with ways to involve them in the story! Oooh, how the excitement just keeps on growing! It also doesn't hurt to have another beautiful MILF in the harem, right? God, especially one like Yasaka. She's just.. Mmm! Lol
Now, I never brought this up in the prologue, and I'm sorry that I didn't, but I am only going off of characters that have appeared in the anime so far as I have not read any of the light novels, so there's the late disclaimer about that. Again, I'm sorry. XD Alrighty, I ain't got much else to say other than all that for the moment. So I'll leave you to it! Thanks for reading!
