Chapter 1: Framed
A dodge challenger zoomed through a narrow alleyway, ramming through cats and trash bins as it drifted and took a right turn, speeding through the car. The way it was being driven, grabbed the attention of the pedestrians as well as the ones who were in cars. The civilians were shocked for some unknown reason. Maybe the car's painting gave them a weird nostalgia?
Behind the wheel was the best driver one could ever ask for. This young man was in his late twenties. He had long spiky brown hair that was reaching down and covering his entire neck from behind. His eyes were chocolate brown. His skin was normal. He wore a normal suit jacket with a red t-shirt underneath which was hugging him, black pants, and a pair of dress shoes.
His eyes shone as he shifted the gear down and picked up more speed than normal. The speedometer showed the car was going full 200 Miles/Hr. He stomped on the pedal as if his life was on the line or as if he was late for a party. The traffic cameras picked the recklessly driven car and sent some reinforcements to make an arrest.
However, the driver had the police scanner installed inside his car so he knew how the cops were operating. He knew how and from where the dispatch was sending cop cars from and their car numbers. He then heard where the roadblocks were going to be established in which areas.
All this made his task much easier as he easily avoided the cops by taking the streets where they haven't arrived yet or wasn't patrolling there. The driver laughed maniacally as he lost the feds and continued driving in their direction.
Once they arrived, the car came to a halt as the driver took a quick look at the building they were supposed to go in. The building was an old rundown place that was probably built before he was even born. The driver then focused more as he saw the titled signs that the building had and how all the windows were broken to shreds. The structure looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. The wall colors were sticking out and the bricks were becoming quite clear. The blocks of cement were displayed oddly. The door which they were supposed to enter through had already been broken.
"So this is the place, huh? Asked the driver to himself as turned off the engine. "That bastard better be there." Then his attention shifted to the snoring passenger that was sleeping by his left. That sleeper skin looked rich. His eyes were blue like the ocean. His hair was red as a tomato. His outfit consisted of a long yellow patterned purple full-sleeved shirt with a long black trench coat which was open. Like the driver, the passenger's pants were also black. The shoes that the man wore were a little different from the driver's. The driver's one being silver while his being plain black. He was the same age as the driver.
The driver then looked at the passenger then slowly crept his hand on his right shoulder. Once his hand reached there and rested, he then grabbed it and started moving him back and forth until he got up and looked around the place.
"Huh, how long was I out? Thanks for waking me up, Issei. Now..." he stretched his arms and legs. "Let's finish the mission so we can go home." He then opened the door and got himself out of the car but not before closing the door.
The driver now named Issei bent down and a little as he pressed a small red button. From behind, the trunk opened itself abruptly, as the passenger saw a shiny large guitar case.
Issei then exited the car and looked at the doors and made his way towards the rear. There, he saw his partner holding the guitar case in his hands.
"You ready, Tony?" Asked Issei as he moved forward and pushed the trunk down.
"Yeah, I was born ready. Let's go."
Tony then heard a clicking sound coming from his right, confirming that Issei locked all the doors. Both the partners nodded to one another as they walked inside the building and slowly climbed up through the broken wooden staircases which were making quite creepy sounds, the atmosphere inside the apartment looked dead as a door. It was all dark and mushy inside, rats were crawling everywhere. Hippies in the staircases and from the other rooms were moaning and mumbling to themselves as they watched the drops of water leaking from the ceilings. The drug addicts were constantly calling out to Tony and Issei and begging them to allow those addicts to give them a blowjob in exchange for fifty yen. They avoided those people and just kept on walking and climbing until they found themselves kicking down a locked iron door that was keeping them from accessing the rooftop. After kicking the door down, they made their way across the rooftop and walked close to the railing on their left. When they got closer, Issei pulled out a binocular from his pocket and started watching a party that was going on in the opposite building.
Tony was busy putting together the pieces of the rifle that they were going to use to eliminate a target. Their target? Target was a man in his mid-thirties who was responsible for the disappearance of a lot of teenage girls from all over the city and was selling them for a huge price to the East Coast. The papers labeled the man's appearance to be black and have a shaved head, his outfit should be an Italian-themed white suit with brown dress shoes. His right wrist should have a golden watch and on his index finger, there should be a golden ring. From the description, the man seemed to be quite into smoking so he will be seeing stepping out into the balcony for a quick smoke. Keeping that in mind, Tony finished preparing the sniper rifle and aimed for the party at the balconies.
After a minute or two, the man from their description seemed walking out of a sliding door with a cigar in between his fingers. Issei nodded his head as Tony pulled the trigger, killing the man via headshot.
"Well, that takes care of it," Tony said non-chantant as he put back all the pieces inside the guitar case.
"C'mon," Said Issei as he started walking. "Cops will be here any second. Let's go before we're caught with our pants down."
Three weeks passed and nothing happened, In the office, sat a woman behind a large desk who was scanning the files on her desk. Too much work and not a single time for a break. She took out a pen and starting signing each paper that was kept on her desk. Home maintenance, garage, the bills, water service, gas service, and electric bills, and everything that came along with it.
She was unaware that her office door was being opened as a dark violet-haired woman walked in with the newspaper. The woman wore a purple tight party dress which was revealing her wicked thighs and the hills she wore were gorgeous. Her eyes were dark purple like her hair, the only difference being that the hair accessory was a small yellow ribbon which made her look cuter in general. The woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties. This was Akeno Himejima, Captain and Queen Of The Rias Gremory Peerage.
"Here's today's news," said Akeno as she kept the paper on the desk and took a seat that was close to the desk. She saw how the woman remained inattentive as all her focus was on those papers. Akeno didn't bother as she reached into her purse, grabbed her smartphone, and played music to amuse herself for a while.
After an hour, a twenty-year-old white girl and a man in his mid-twenties walked in the room as they sat down on the couches, opposite to one another. The woman wore a black suit with a white blouse underneath with a matching small skirt and white leggings with a pair of white dress shoes. This was Koneko Toujou, Rook of the Rias Gremory Peerage and soon to be head of her own peerage. She was the quiet one among the group, never spoke until needed to. Her way of expressing herself was like being bored of something or someone or as if she had a rough day.
The man who was in his mid-twenties wore a black double-breasted suit with a grey t-shirt underneath, a pair of grey jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. His head accessory was an aviator shade which he hung over his head like a headband. His eyes were blue. His personality consisted of a gentleman who often put others' thoughts before him. The one who let others walk all over if that kept them happy. This was Kiba Yuuto, 1st Knight of the Rias Gremory Peerage and the head of his own peerage, the Yuuto Peerage. His main job was to handle all the paperwork that came from the main offices. Like Koneko, he was the silent one.
"Greetings, boss," Kiba greeted with a head bow which Koneko copied.
"Nice seeing you," Koneko replied before pulling out her phone.
"Oh, nice!" Akeno chirped. "Rias, look. Koneko and Kiba have arrived."
Rias, however, simply ignored her as she kept on sighing and at the same time, filling those forms. In her mind, she kept thinking and hoping that Akeno would stop bothering her and wished that she would give her some privacy. The room then became quiet for a while, nobody uttered a single word nor exchange with one another.
Shattering the quietness, two idiots bolted inside the room and jumped on the empty spots as if they owned the place. Both men were immature who cared very little about showing respect to others. These two were the life of the group who seemed always joyful all the time and super energized. These two were Issei Hyoudou, Pawn of the Rias Gremory Peerage, and the head of his own peerage.
The other one was Tony, who was apparently the younger brother of Rias Gremory and the head of his own peerage.
Rias finished putting her signature on the last paper as she kept it aside and looked at the room to see all of them were there.
"If all of you are here, then let's get this meeting started," Rias announced and was about to start when she saw two young women in their early twenties bursting in the room and panting. Rias let out a loud sign of annoyance as she started the meeting.
The meeting went on like usual. How was the business, were they facing trouble, has any new enemies showed up, stuff like that.
Finally, when the meeting was about to end, the phone next to Rias' desk started ringing.
"And so we..." She picks the phone up and answers.
She was speaking in a language that seemed foreign to some of them present in the room. Issei, Akeno, Irina, and Xenovia couldn't understand her except for Tony and the rest.
A couple of minutes later, she ended the call and looked at the group with such a gaze that sent chills down their spine.
"So," Rias started as looked at the group. "It has come to my attention that one of us here went rogue. Care to explain why and how?"
"What?!" Everybody said at the same time, disbelieving the fact that there was a snitch among them.
"Are you crazy boss?" Asked Issei.
"There's no way," Denied Irina.
"If Rias is saying that it is true, then it's true," Answered Xenovia.
Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno remained silent as Tony and Issei were scratching their necks. Rias noticed this quickly and grew suspicious of them.
"Something you want to share with us, Anthony and Issei?" Sneered Rias in a hateful tone.
Both of them shook their heads. Rias signed. She then gestured something to Akeno who nodded as she pulled out a piece of paper from her purse and passed it to Tony.
"Issei and Tony," called out Akeno. "You have a job today. Head to it."
They didn't waste time as they got up and left the room. Once they were certain that the two of them left, Rias reached under her desk and pulled out a duffel bag. She then got up from her desk and walked in front of them, picked up the duffel bag, and turned it upside down as everyone watched a bunch of photos falling down.
"Rias..." Akeno asked. "What are these?"
"Oh, these? Why don't you see it for yourself? Out of all people, I thought they would be the most loyal to me than anyone I know." Rias then went back to her desk and sat down as she watched everyone looking at the photos and gasping.
In Irina's hand, was a photo of Issei making a deal with a bunch of fallen angels. Xenovia had a picture of Issei and Tony torturing a lot of their own men. Kiba held two pictures in each of his hands as he looked at them with the most surprised and betrayed look on his face. In one picture, it showed Issei and Tony smuggling drugs in the city, and the other one was quite violent for one to look at. That picture showed that both of them were butchering a single corpse with smirks on their faces. It was unknown what Koneko saw as she burst in anger and stormed off the room.
"They wouldn't..." Akeno muttered with tears in her eyes. "They can't..."
"This is not real! Yelled Xenovia. "The Tony I know wouldn't do something like this!"
"Sure Issei is a bonehead," stated Irina. "But he also wouldn't fall so low. Rias, this is not real. This is fake."
"I also want to believe," Rias said. "But I can't bring myself to. Not after what I saw."
"This pictures," Kiba said as he stood up and faced everyone. "Are fake! Just like Irina and Xenovia stated, are fake. Someone is framing them."
Rias nodded as she got up and faced the window. "Leave. You are all dismissed it. We'll discuss this tomorrow."
After she heard the door close, she pulled out her phone and called an unknown number.
Meanwhile, Tony and Issei arrived at a karaoke club and got out of the club.
"You ready to sing your heart out, bro?" Tony asked as he looked at the doors as Issei nodded then answered.
"You know it! We deserve a break like this once in a while."
Tony and Issei walked inside the building as they saw a receptionist who looked quite attractive. Tony blushed and was unable to speak up. The girl gave a fruity laugh as Issei chuckled.
"Welcome to Sing Your Heart out Karaoke Club! How may I serve you both today?" Asked the girl cheerfully.
Tony's face became redder than before as he started muttering things like 'beauty, 'service', and so on.
"For two please," Issei asked as the receptionist nodded before asking them to follow her to which they did. During their ride in the elevator. Issei kept poking Tony's cheek as he pouted and kept his arms crossed. Soon after, the duo was inside a room that had a karaoke machine, a speaker, some snacks on the coffee table with a large sofa, and a hanging telephone Also, there was a tablet kept on the couch which was connected to the machine. Tony picked it up as both of them started browsing.
Soon after, their eyes glittered as they picked up a song that Issei was going to sing. His song, "Pure Love In Kouh" Written by Ikumi Sato.
Issei approached the machine, grabbed one of the mikes and took a peak at the lyrics displayed before he started singing.
Lyrics:
Issei:A-ah I don't believe it
This woman has a hidden side
And tonight I'll drown her in richesTo earn my way into her heart
Asia:
Is he playing around? I don't believe it
This man can be so fickle
Both: But why then
When I'm with you
Does it feel so different?
Neon city lights shine on the two of us
Might it be fate?
Asia:
Is it for the show?
Issei:
No, it's real
Asia: Is it a lie?
Issei: It's not
Both:
Love cannot be stopped
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we lose our way
Sometimes we worry together, spinning our tale
Issei: Yes, my dear
Asia:
And you, my love
Both: Our Kouh love story
Issei: In my lonely heart bloomed
You, a solitary, beautiful flower
Dazzling neon KouhThis tale we've spun together
Let's call it "pure love in Kouh"
Issei finished as Tony clapped. Soon, they were back in the tablet again, as both of them started browsing it, finding a song for Tony to sing. To express his emotion, Tony chose a song called "Baka Mitai".
Tony stood in front of the machine as he looked at Issei before singing.
Lyrics:
Baka mitai, kodomo na no ne
Yume wo, otte kidzutsuite

Issei cheered as he clapped at the same time, hearing the way Tony sing.
At last, they selected a duet song called "Judgement Shinpan" with Tony starting as the lead singer.

JUDGEMENT
Both of them sat on the couch, celebrating their skills by having the snacks and drinks which were left on the coffee table.
Meanwhile, Kiba sat in his office, looking at those photos all ever again. Just then his Queen walked in.
"Boss, we received new orders from the direct family," the queen informed.
The queen was a woman in her early twenties who wore a long trenchcoat and gloves, completely covering herself up. She wore sunglasses that covered her whole eyes and a mask that covered her lips. On top of her head, was a beanie cap. This was Samantha Sands, the cold-blooded killer who also had a small crush on her King.
"Go on," Kiba ordered as Samantha nodded.
"The orders are simple. Bring Anthony Gremory and Issei Hyoudou, dead or alive."
"What?"
Koneko was walking around the shopping districts as she received a phone call. She picks it up and answers.
