Officer Nagai Kim was your typical police officer.
She was above average height, a firm figure from working out, not much of a bust line, but definitely healthy. She had black hair and dark eyes. She wore her uniform well, choosing to stick with the traditional skirt instead of the new body armor that included pants with reinforced knees. She felt that the new outfits were too intimidating and that the traditional uniform showed a certain level of confidence. She was no nonsense career police officer who was approaching her late twenties. She had spent over six year on the force now and didn't have much to show for it.
She had been trying to work her way up the ladder, but she had a way of doing things. She cut too many corners. She was too focused on results and it showed. She had a tendency to screw up on the fine details. This led her to taking some more... questionable... methods of doing her job. It wasn't that she was corrupt, far from it, but she wasn't a strictly by the book officer, either. Her story was a typical one. Underpaid, under appreciated, and overworked. She had started feeling cheated. She felt she had earned compensation that she had not received. There were things she felt she was promised in life that had not happened.
She was a cop's cop. The force was her life and she lived for the job. The other cops were family and you look out for family. She'd looked the other way on a few fuck ups here and there, and the other cops have done the same for her. They all felt they deserved more and so, if they could make the job a little easier for everyone involved, what was the harm?
And here was some underage whore who needed to be put in his place.
It pissed her off that he could be so blatant. Sitting there, daring her to try something, as if he was someone special. 'Protecting the wife?' HAH! Who heard of such an excuse? No. Far more likely the wife was behind on her payments or something and this was just an intimidation tactic. She'd seen it before. If the wife isn't paying up, the husband gets attacked out of the blue to teach the Jane not to get in debt. Still...
Damn those hookers were hot.
Especially that Toshi kid. Mmm... I bet he goes for a whole month's pay... at LEAST. Although there was something about him. Something... familiar. She was about to GooYoo the kid when Kingo exploded with his little tirade and ended it with rolling up his sleeves, crossing his arms, and practically daring her to fuck him. She'd seen these offers before. It's how many illegal prostitutes try to get out of going to jail. The universal, 'Come fuck me for money' gesture, but he was being so much more confrontational about it. And in the middle of a police station? The set of ovaries on this kid was unbelievable.
Ooo... she loved breaking a man in.
The tough ones with the attitude, they were the most satisfying to finally pin down and ride. Yeah, this kid wasn't anything in the face department, but he certainly was well built. He clearly worked out. Those arms weren't artificially bulked up muscles from using steroids, either. She could tell all-natural from artificial beef. Bulk Beef usually only used strap ons as the steroids did a number on their dicks. They were cheaper, looked nice, and it certainly was safer as far as catching a disease was concerned. But all natural beef? Mmm... Tasty.
Honestly, Kim intended to just scare the crap out of him. She figured that maybe she could break him and get him to flip on his pimp. They looked like they were all new at this. That blond obviously had them on a short leash if she could so blatantly beat them in public and they both made excuses for her. Kim figured she had her work cut out for her.
As soon as Kin got him in the interrogation room, she pulled the blind down on the observation window. The goal was to make this kid feel like she could do anything to him and there would be no witnesses. She'd done this song and dance before. It was frowned upon, but it got results. The next step was to slam Kingo up against the wall and search him for contraband. This worked well on male prisoners. Grope a man in a few embarrassing places, add in some suggestive comments, and you'd be surprised how quickly a tough guy will snap. Usually.
However, In this case, it was the officer who was surprised.
---
"This is insane!"
The first officer had returned and was interviewing Ichikawa, "I haven't turned up anything criminal about you. Your record seems to be nonexistent. So tell me, are you just starting out?"
Ichikawa's jaw dropped open as she stared at the officer in disbelief, "Just started out doing... Are you insane?" She gestured to the interrogation room, "Yes, my friend lost it, but that man was beating that woman! He could have handled it better, but I don't see how that equates to me being a pimp!" She gestured off towards interrogation, "I just met that guy today!"
The officer narrowed her eyes at Ichikawa, "You mind explaining why you were coming from fifth street platform?"
Ichikawa looked around like she was looking for a secret camera, "We were coming back from our support group meeting. Why the hell is it a problem if we were at fifth street?"
The cop blinked, "Support Group?"
Ichikawa nodded, "Yes, Support Group! We were meeting at Haruo's apartment. We all have the same... illness." She looked around like she was reluctant to talk about it.
The cop slowly put down her pen, "What illness?"
Ichikawa leveled a flat gaze at the officer, "It's called Shiraha Disease. They're not quite sure what causes it. It puts you in a coma for about a week and causes damage to your brain. All sorts of things get screwed up." She gestured to Toshi across the room, "He has it the worst. Near complete amnesia. The rest of us are... different."
The officer started to turn pale, "Explain different."
Ichikawa sighed, "How to act in public… social norms get all screwed up." She lowered her voice, "Guys start thinking like girls and vice versa." She looked embarrassed at this admission, then cleared her throat, "Kingo was just acting in a way where he was trying to protect that woman. Honest! I don't get this prostitution thing you guys seem to be-"
The officer cut her off as she stood up, "All the under age prostitutes hang out around fifth street platform." She looked toward the hallway that led to the interrogation room, "SHIT." She took off in a sprint, leaving Ichikawa handcuffed to her chair.
Ichikawa squinted with one eye and tilted her head to the side. She looked down at the handcuffs, rattled them a little, then let her head fall forward with a defeated sigh.
Author, I think your story might be getting wasted here. I saw another story with a somewhat similar theme to this one called "Reverse World" and it's mostly smut. The writing isn't really good, it focuses on sex, and yet it's more popular than this story. Which you know, doesn't really surprise me and also angers me. Most top stories on here are smut focused with a half-assed plot, yet stories like this just aren't even looked at nearly as much…………………………………………………………Author, I think your story is well-written and thought out, I do enjoy it as a result of that. A site that I think would better appreciate your talents would be "Royal Road", the top stories on there are focused on the writing and creating a good story and not the smut. That's not to say there isn't any, it's just really rare and when it's mentioned it's 2-3 lines and the rest is up to the readers imagination. The stories there that get popular are thought-provoking, well-detailed, have good world building, and most of all unique, which I think you have here. . ………………………………………………………………………………And yet posting on this site where the ones that get popular focus on sex, I just don't think it's a good match up. Posting on Royal Road could be a good move? Idk, I was reading and it came to mind that it probably would do well over there. Thanks for reading, peace. (NOTE: the periods are so the paragraphs get spaced out)
Hrrmm...
The problem is, I'm lazy. What I mean is, I'm writing this because I like to write. It's how I pass the time on these long overnights. I like writing, and want it to be a good story, but I'm sort of past the whole "being successful" thing. I did the professional ghost writing thing for a while and I needed the money back then, but no longer. Without the need for money, I no longer ghost write unless it's an old friend who needs me to bail him out of a jam.
And the new story I'm writing (IWS) is actually going to have smut. Well, smut by my standards. I suspect that it won't be heavy on the smut by most standards. I consider s*x between characters to be part of character development. s*x is a plot point by my standards and I feel that it has a place in certain types of stories. IWS is designed to address some concepts and stories I can't do in this story without ruining it.
Although I get your point. HKN was written to be heavy on the plot, and have NO sex. It is my least popular story (and BTW, I'm still dealing with a possible publisher, thus why that story is on hold. I do plan on returning to it, eventually.) This has a bit more sex, but I treat it as a background matter. IWS will be more explicit, and I suspect It will be the most popular of the three.
My current plan is to continue these two stories for now until I finally get a final answer on HKN. I've got the feeling it isn't going to happen, considering how long we've been talking about it, but honestly, I started writing that story because I REALLY would have liked to see it published as a manga. I don't give a crap about it being sold in book form, but if it could actually be turned into a real published manga, I'd love that.
When it comes to this story, I'm not taking it that seriously. If I was really serious, I'd "File Off The Serial Numbers". Meaning, I'd remove all references from the Manga this story is based on and make it a stand alone story. I suppose I could do that, but this is fan fiction. The purpose of this story was to answer those questions I knew would never get answered from the original.
(Amahara, if you read this, CALL ME! I'd love to make this official)
However, I also had another story that was behind HKN, and this fan-fiction is the same setting as that story. In fact, all three are basically prequels to the story I wanted to write. Although there are two other characters that I need to write before I finally start The Dark Earth saga. Well, at the very least I need to write Lord Edgelord, Lord of The Edge's story. I wanted to have a Space Opera/Cyberpunk story as the origin story of the female lead for The Dark Earth saga.
Ryan, Lord Edgelord, and K-A were going to be the trio lead of the final book I want to write. K-A is pronounced KayDashAh. You pronounce the '-". The villain was going to Tilde Asterisk Ampersand. It was going to be a mockery of YA stories.
K-A was going to be set up to be the long suffering socially isolated female lead (ala Twilight, Insurgent, Hunger games) in a dystopian future. The future is one of PC correctness gone amuck hidden behind an AI rampancy apocalypse. The main character is a female who is "special", except her special power is that she is in constant agony.
The trick is, her nerve damage that resulted in her skin feeling like it's on fire, every moment, of every day.
In Cyberspace, the way hackers get killed is by pain sensations being sent through the Neural Link and frying the brain. However, since she's always in agony, she's basically immune. In short, her super power is PAIN.
I've read these YA novels. The protagonist is always "in pain" some how, but it is a deep hidden pain nobody will ever understand. I figured, why not just go all in and make the protagonist ACTUALLY in pain in a fashion that is invisible that nobody can treat or understand?
Ah. I'm rambling.
For now, I'm considering this a 'rough draft'. Maybe when I get more of the stories written and I'm finally getting around to starting The Dark Earth saga, maybe I'll take all this, find a real editor, clean it up, and then post up the final form on royal road or somewhere. I mean, I spent 4 years writing a 112 book encyclopedia for a defunct game. I'm a patient man who knows how to grind.
I'll get there, eventually.
@TheEldritchGod The dark world saga sounds interesting to read. And I’ve been reading IWS, looks promising, regarding this story, I can understand the apprehensions as it is a fan-fiction technically so that does clear up for me as of to why I don’t see the story elsewhere. If you ever made some of your stories into a manga that would be quite the achievement, rooting for you.
Thanks for the update 🙏
Thanks for the chapter
