Shift from Hell
Aug. 19th, 2024 11:13 pmCast of Characters (listed the Japanese way of surname first): Amaya-kai-yakuza clan most of the main cast is in
Miyamoto Suna (Xander), Matriarch of the Miyamoto-gumi, a direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai
Hayama Nijiha (Aura), Captain of the Miyamoto-gumi, a direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai
Miyamoto Cordy, Ani-san ("husband") of the Miyamoto-gumi, a direct subsidiary of the Amaya-kai, as herself
Author's Notes: In this universe, Japan is run by the women. As usual this is written kinda in slangy Kansai-ben. The Amaya-kai deal with the Hellmouth. This one references the tradition in Breaking Tradition, specifically the 'returning a Matriarch's soul' part.
Terms: Nurikabe-"Mr. Wall", a youkai that is essentially an invisible wall that blocks travelers' paths and gets them lost
irezumi no youkai-tattoo spirits and the sign of a yakuza. Invoking gives you a battle aura and basically invites the full power of the spirit. Largely, this is done before combat. Drawing on it gives a lower and long-lasting effect.
youkai-demon/spirit
chinpira-lower level yakuza (bottom-rung basically)
gokudou-another word for yakuza
More author's notes: background notes
Main Points:
Buffy/Yakuza AU (Bloody Petals)
Chapter Summary: Shifts on the Hellmouth are a pain, sometimes.
Word Count: 785
Rating: Teen
