History Fanfic / DifferingPaths

Differing Paths... is a DarkFic, based around the characters of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', taking place five years after the end of the series, long since any of them have seen each other. The plot begins with Tomo working for Tokyo police against a cat burglar. [[TheReveal Said burglar is revealed to be Sakaki,]] who was trained from an early age by her father and Kimura, members of a clan of thieves. Due to an injury and being accused of manslaughter, she is removed from the force, and most of the story follows her RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Sakaki. Notable is the constant MoodWhiplash, {{Shout Out}}s, LampshadeHanging, and the exaggeration of the main characters' personality traits. Can be viewed in its (currently in-progress) entirety [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6637295/1/Differing_Paths here.]]
