Bloody Legacy

It’s weird typing the word darling and not having it be a name.
I honestly wasn’t expecting this universe to go here, but it is kind of important stuff for worldbuilding and I like the character interactions here (also Miyamoto and Cordy are really sweet).  If characters having a discussion about the decision to have kids isn’t your jam, though, I get it; there’s a reason it’s listed in the warnings so feel free to skip this one.

Cast of Characters (listed the Japanese way of surname first): Miyamoto Suna (Xander), Matriarch of the Miyamoto-gumi, direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai (or Sunao, since Miyamoto is genderfluid)
Amaya-kai-main yakuza Clan they're all in
Miyamoto Cordy, Ani-san of the Miyamoto-gumi, direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai, as herself
Natsukawa Kimiko (Joyce), Former 4th Chairwoman of the Amaya-kai [deceased]
Natsukawa Renyo (Buffy), [5th and 6th] Chairwoman of the Amaya-kai
Natsukawa Akeru (Dawn), Matriarch of the Natsukawa-gumi, a Direct Family of the Amaya-kai, younger Natsukawa
Maki Akiharu (Giles), Advisor to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Chairwomen of the Amaya-kai
Ikemoto Akiho (Warren), Former Matriarch of the Hisamatsu-gumi/Hisamatsu Family, a formerly direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai, dissolved after their own betrayal
Author's Notes: In this universe, Japan is run by the women.
Terms: Kansai-ben-Miyamoto generally speaks with the slangy Kansai-ben accent
Ani-san-acting "husband" of a Matriarch (as long as you 'act within your gender', they don't care)
