A/N: Concept I had month ago or so. It's basically Ichika if IS didn't exist and he was a detective and a vigilante at night.
Ichika would be around 22 years old? He wouldn't be dense, Houki also 22.
Tabane: 26
Natasha:26
Iris and Natalia: 26
Orimura sisters: 26-27
The concept behind this was to make a bad ass and cool Ichika in a modern world without IS whilst having TBT characters like Orimura clan being Orimura family instead. Orimura family would be a family full of warriors just not the 'I wanna kill everyone' type of family. just a normal big family.
Also inspired by Titans tv show sorta. (as for the name Ronin)
As usual my discord name is Kano #6890 lol if you wanna hear about more things happening in TBT join the discord lol
Location: Unknown warehouse.
Time: Early hour's in the morning. (Approximately 4:30)
A man seemingly in the distance of the small warehouse began to put a vinyl on play for him to hear. Without needing to do more the who appeared muscular build with a few battle scars littered here and there over his chest walked over towards a table which had a small glass with water in it. The man proceeded to take a few sips of the water before putting it back down and proceeding to undo the straps of his belt before completely taking the belt off and placing it down next to the glass of water.
The man had jet black hair and brown eyes. He appeared to be quite young, easily in his early twenties. He wore black combat pants with steel toecap boots which for women the look and get up was enough to drive them crazy. That being said, he also appeared to have some purple bruises across his chest. Some big and some small bruises. He looked over towards the other table, narrowing his eyes at the chest plate which had some blood splatter's here and there on it.
Walking over to the chest plate, he picked it up before going to the sink which was mere feet away from him. He proceeded to wash the blood off of that said chest plate with a ragged cloth before putting it to one side to dry off. Not only that but he pulled out what appeared to be a shuriken that was in the shape of an 'O'.
After rinsing down both the chest plate and the shuriken, he proceeded to grab both item's and bring them to a chair which had a briefcase on it left completely open. The man proceeded to place the shuriken that he had just washed the blood from with the other Shuriken's in the pouches of the briefcase. After that he placed the chest plate back inside of the briefcase before closing it and leaving it unattended for now.
The man looked towards the wall which held a clock on there to check the time to realise he had work very soon. Without saying anything the man let out a heavy breath and walked back over to the table where his normal clothes were folded up in the corner of the table. Picking up the clothes, they appeared to be a suit attire. The man put on the suit pants first and then the button up t-shirt before apply his tie and then to finish it off was the grey blazer and shoes.
Turning back around the man picked his weapon before placing back in the blazer pocket. Turning to the exit he made his way over towards the door before in stopping front of a table which held pictures on there. The man stood there for a few seconds admiring the small and big photos. One photo that caught his eye was a photo of his family. The Orimura family. Him, His father, his mothers and his sisters were all in the photo together as family. Letting out a small smile the man pushed out any thoughts he had before going to leave before someone came through the door.
"Ahhh! Ikkun! What are you doing here?" Tabane replied at Ichika being here so early in the morning. Ichika shrugged it off. He was used to being up this early now, especially with his 'side hobby.'
"Tabane the better question to ask is why are you here so early in the morning?" Ichika hit back at Tabane with a question. Ichika made a smile towards Tabane before watching her with his eyes.
Tabane moved past Ichika to get towards the computer's in the far corner of the warehouse which housed loads upon loads of data on them. Not only that but the computer screens showed surveillance cameras on them alongside some code.
"Well Ikkun I was going to do some surveillance on that Azela woman to find out if that homewrecker is any trust worthy or not." Tabane explained before she sat down and began to scroll through the footage she had collected of the city since last night.
"You make a good point Tabane, well you know the drill if you find anything, you know how to contact me as usual." Ichika said before gently ruffling her head which Tabane seemed to enjoy for the short few seconds he was doing it.
"Bye bye! Ikkun!" Tabane turned around waving at him before he left.
(Now for business...) Tabane cracked her knuckles and began typing to find any information of Azela.
Ichika stepped out into the foggy atmosphere that loomed over the warehouse so early in the morning. Ichika pulled out his car keys before pressing the button to unlock it and getting in to head to work.
Ichika's mind slipped to the thoughts of his family and friends. Ichika and his sisters all work to keep the big Orimura household together, this meant that most of them wouldn't always be home however, out of anyone in the family, Ichika was always busy as his duties calls for being a police officer after all. Not only that but his 'hobby' was another big reason why Ichika wasn't at his home most of the time.
Ichika never liked to drag the life he lived outside into his home due to some problems it could cause. It wasn't safe at all, not only that but being busy with Tabane on his 'hobby' made it harder due to the number of hours he spent targeting and locating bad guys in the city. People knew of his alter ego everywhere; it was always talked about. Even in his work place.
The question everyone had on their mind was who was this 'Ronin' who was running around the city for endless amount of times and years now. Women would often talk about Ronin quite often due to how he was described before and after his transformation over these years. Going from the hyper vigilante to the cool and calm spirited saviour of Kyoto.
There were many stories of Ronin going around the city, some good, some bad but the topic of Ronin was always heavily talked about in the police station for making the 'cops' job much easier for them.'
After minutes of thinking, Ichika was beginning to pull into the parking lot where fellow cops such as himself would park their cars when arriving onto their shift. The car Ichika drove was a custom black mustang GT five hundred series. Ichika would often get jealous stares at the car he was driving considering the job he had but he shrugged it off.
Getting out of his car and locking once he had successfully parked his car, Ichika proceeded to walk towards the doorways of the police station before entering to a view of a busy bunch of cops. Ichika shrugged it off before walking over to the vending machine before putting money into it and getting himself a coffee.
"Ichika!" Houki shouted from a distance whilst walking over to him. Ichika turned around to face Houki with a charismatic smile.
"Something wrong partner?" Ichika questioned before turning to press the buttons on the coffee machine
"Yes! Did you hear about that robbery attempt last night?" Ichika grabbed his coffee and started to walk towards his desk, Houki followed pursuit. "They say that there was one guy left behind and he ate some kind of pill to stop himself from speaking of the truth before dying." Houki finished to explaining to Ichika.
"Really?" Ichika questioned. 'Guess I'll get Tabane to look into it later, scratch that she probably already knows by now...' Ichika thought before taking a sip of coffee and sitting down. Houki grabbed a chair and also sat down to Ichika.
"Well I was wondering in all considering we are partner's if you want to investigate at all." Houki said whilst fidgeting. 'She's fidgeting...' Ichika examined Houki's movement before coming to a conclusion.
"Well... Shall we get going?" Ichika picked up his coffee in hand and questioned Houki. Houki nodded with a smile before joining him in standing up.
"EVERYONE! Gather around!" A voice came from the middle of the large room, getting everyone's attention including Ichika and Houki.
"Let's go see what she wants..." Ichika ushered Houki to walk with him to see what his captain wanted. Ichika and Houki stood around alongside the other officer's that was here.
"Everyone gather around."
All the Armed and unarmed police soldiers did just that regardless of what they were doing just before now.
"Listen up." The woman said "First things first, we have three new people joining the force today. Please welcome Officer Shepard and alongside her cousin who will be working inside the lab upstairs. Alongside those two a friend of the two newcomers is Officer Shepard." The three women came forward and greeted the other officers. Some of the men couldn't quite help but admire and talk about their beauty. However, Ichika looked uninterested in the new arrivals.
"Hello everyone." Natasha started. "I hope we can all get along and work well together." She bowed to everyone in the room. Following Iris and Natalia doing the same.
"Well now... As I mentioned earlier ladies..." Ichika's captain looked over towards him for a brief moment. "You will be working with Detective Orimura and Officer Houki for a while until you have gotten used to this area." Ichika took a sip of his coffee as he stared at his captain with a suspicious look on his face.
(I don't know what... but she's planning something...) Ichika couldn't help but read the expression that his captain was giving him. Natasha, Iris and Natalia made their way over towards Ichika and Houki with their captain with them.
"That's it for now everyone... Remember to get these cases done! We haven't got all day!" She exclaimed to her the officers before they began to go back and resume whatever they were doing. After all of the all the noise of the officer's getting back to work, Ichika came face to face with the three ladies and his boss.
"Nice to meet you Mr Orimura." Natasha held her hand out to shake Ichika's hand. Ichika brought his arm out and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you too." Ichika turned to his boss. "So Satella, these are your friends you keep mentioning about bringing in to the force for a long time?" Satella smiled and nodded at Ichika. Ichika let out a brief in understanding what was going on now.
"Wait..." Iris paused for a few moments. "Satella said something about us a while before we actually became officer's here?" Iris questioned Ichika who responded with a nod and sipped on his coffee once again.
"I see... So that's what she was going on about when she said about bringing some more creativity to the force huh?" Houki realized what was Satella had been saying now. She couldn't help but facepalm.
"My aren't you handsome?" Natalia said whilst dreamily staring at Ichika who almost had a case of spitting his coffee out of his mouth however, he didn't bring to his mouth luckily otherwise there would have been a mess to deal with.
"Natalia you can't say that!" Natasha covered her cousin's mouth. "Mr Orimura! I'm sorry for her being so up forward like that!" Natasha made Natalia bow to Ichika in way to apologise to Ichika. Ichika sighed before replying.
"It's fine don't worry about it; all it did was surprise me that's all." Ichika took another sip of coffee. Houki had an angry expression plastered across her face and Satella watched on in amusement.
"You didn't need to that! Mr Orimura has most likely been called handsome loads of times now." Natalia argued against her cousin. Ichika looked at the two women in amusement before turning to Satella (His boss.).
"Are they like this?" Ichika questioned. Satella nodded whilst having a smile plastered across her face. Ichika let out a sigh and faced palm when he realised how events from now were going to go.
"Anyway... I was going to ask you to look into a case."
"Oh?"
Ichika began to look interested in what Satella had to say now.
"There is a gang hiding out in one of the abandoned warehouses. After the shootout with us when they got away with the armed robbery, they took hostages and are demanding money over a broadcast over our systems." Satella explained before handing Ichika the folder containing more information on the case.
"These guys were wearing devil masks..."
"Correct... I have reasons to believe these criminals are using the masks to send a message to us and society itself." Satella explained Ichika nodded as he was beginning to build the same feeling to. The two girls, Iris and Houki had finally stopped quarrelling and started paying attention to what Satella and Ichika were saying. After briefly reading a few pages, Ichika began to have an understanding on what this group wanted.
"I see now." Ichika closed the file that was handed to him by Satella "These guys won't stop until they have achieved their own goal however what I picked up from them is that they are military trained..." Ichika explained. The three women looked in shock as Ichika explained to them what he thought.
"You figured that out by briefly looking over that file?"
"If what the witnesses report wrote was true then what we are dealing with are a bunch of dangerous individuals that know how to take out everyone in a room professionally and very quickly." Ichika took a sip of coffee and walked past the women and handed Houki the folder. The three women stood in shock and Satella didn't look surprised instead she looked amused.
"Ladies... Are you coming?" Ichika stopped before he reached the door and turned around to face the women. The four followed Ichika towards the door.
"Satella, I'll notify you on what happens next." Satella nodded. Ichika opened the door and made his way out of the station and towards his car with the girls in pursuit.
When reaching his car, Ichika got into the driver's seat and Houki got into the front alongside Ichika and the other's got into the back. Once the girls had gotten their seat-belts on Ichika pulled out of the parking space and began to drive towards the warehouses.
"I didn't expect you to drive a mustang... You must be a bit of a show off Mr Orimura..." Ichika looked in the mirror just above him and saw Natalia wink at him. Ichika just smiled and looked back the road.
"Ichika here made some investments." Houki paused for a few moments. "Even I was surprised when he bought this as he has to look after a big family back at home." Houki finished explaining. The women looked at Ichika with Interest.
"You have to look after your family?"
"Yes, I made some investments that will surely benefit me in the future and some are already benefiting me right now actually as we speak." Ichika explained to the four women, the girls nodded.
"Say what's it like having a big family?" Iris started. "I don't have a big family so I wanted to know what it is like..."
"Well... My family consists of me, my mom, my aunts, my father and my sisters. Let's start with my sisters first." Ichika replied. The girls all began to listen in.
"My eldest sister Chigusa, she's quite extraordinary and she likes to teach kendo as she used to be in a gang at school." Ichika started. "However, after she finished school, she wanted to teach martial arts but our family did not have enough to make ends meet at that time. For a few years after that she didn't do much but train and read as we couldn't do anything about her goal. So, when I was 19 a few year ago, I worked for long periods of time and started saving up enough money to have a place rented out where she teaches all sorts there.
"Wow... You really love your family huh?"
"Yeah... I do anything for them to be happy so I did what I could. My sister now teaches a lot of kids and adults so she brings in quite a bit of money into the family actually." Ichika explained. "Anyway, should I continue?" Ichika questioned the girls. They all nodded
"Next up would be Chifuyu. See Chifuyu a lot like my other sisters doesn't know when to accept help so when I helped her get a job at Infinite Saint Academy, she was hesitant to take it but however, Houki's sister, Tabane helped me convince her into accept it. Chifuyu works as a teacher to the second years there just a year after I left..." Ichika scratched the back of his head. "Maybe in some universe out there Chifuyu teaches me during my days as a student?" Ichika shrugged at the thought.
"Anyway, I guess Misaki and Yuuko would be up next. Misaki and Yuuko have always been into their music, them alone singing is really beautiful but those two together makes anyone else's music sound like garbage. That's why I knew I had to make investments and save money to buy studio equipment for my sisters who have been keen on making music since we were kids. So, when I bought the equipment just like my Chifuyu and Chigusa they were hesitant at first but came around eventually accepted and began to make music." Ichika explained with a smile on his face.
"You must love your sisters a lot Ichika... I admire it." Natasha said with a warm smile plastered across her face.
"I do... I'm proud of them..." Ichika replied. "Anyway, want me to continue? We have got another while until we arrive there.
""""" Please do."""""
The four said at the same time.
"Next up... Is Chisaya, after she left high school, she looked into going into being a lawyer. I would always walk past her room at night and her beating herself up on worrying about whether or not she would be able to pay the money when she finished her university law school. Because the law school university wasn't far away, she would often walk to the university to get her lessons on it. Chisaya started this 3 years ago now and she had just finished earlier this year and last year after I help from Tabane in the investment area, I began to anonymously pay for her mountain of debt that had been building up for years. When she found out she was very angry at me but very happy at the same time." Ichika stopped at the red lights and leaned on the window whilst waiting for the lights.
""" Wow..."""
The girls couldn't help but be amazed at the lengths Ichika was willing to go to.
"I didn't like seeing my sister suffer... So, I did something about it." Ichika began to drive once again once the light went green. "We are almost there so I have time for one more story I guess..." The girls nodded.
"Saya would be next I suppose... Saya often gets into trouble and I would sometimes have to bail her out as she would often go out partying and get in trouble with her friends. Out of my sisters, Saya is the only one that doesn't really know what she wants to do. She's the naughtiest sister out of all my sisters as she would go on rendezvous with her friends or go out on dates with rich men and that does not end well at all... I often find myself having a phone call from Saya asking me to deal with these men that maybe try to advance on my sister. Unfortunately, out of all my sisters... Me and Saya have a rocky relationship as she won't tell me what she's feeling so I can't help her with these problems."
"I'm sure she will come around Ichika." Houki put her hand on Ichika's shoulder. Ichika turned to her and smiled before turning around to pull into a parking lot, a minute away from the abandoned warehouse. Parking, Ichika undid his seat belt and began to get out of the car.
"Well that's enough for now. I'll tell you some more after this but for now let's scout this area." Ichika explained. "I don't trust how empty this place is, here iris." Ichika pulled a pistol from his blazer and handed it Iris.
"Thanks... I forgot mine already..." Iris giggled nervously.
"It's fine, I noticed so I'll give you my spare." Ichika replied before Natasha and Houki got out of the car with them. "Houki and Iris, I want you to get a good visual on that rooftop opposite the warehouse. Use these to keep in contact with me and Natasha." Ichika handed walkie talkie's to Houki, Iris and Natasha.
Without saying anything else Houki and Iris began to make their own way towards their targeted building.
"Well, then shall we?" Natasha asked. Ichika just smirked and casually walked ahead.
"Just try to keep up."
