Uh...yeah, remember when I said I wasn't going to write the (moved in timeline) Halloween episode?
I'm having too much fun writing the Dad!Giles I haven't been able to find.

But Rupert was slowly drawing him out, even getting him relatively animated the other day when discussing Doctor Who.
With the long hair and eyepatch, the idle thought had occurred to Rupert that his adopted son might easily manage a yakuza look, and that remaining brown eye lit up, even as he made some quip about not being able to pull off Bond with the eye. He’d returned with a well-fitted suit (that would be useful later), an honestly horrifying dress shirt (less so, but if it made Xander happy Rupert wasn’t about to deny him), some snakeskin shoes (that almost looked tasteful as compared to the shirt), and body paint. He’d begged Rupert to do the tattoo, and while Rupert hadn’t felt entirely comfortable with the idea, he also wasn’t going to tell the boy no, particularly when he sat so patient through it all.
Now he’s out there and not himself. Rupert had received a phone call from a Goro Majima, a man speaking a very specific dialect of Japanese, who had referred to him as ‘the blonde firecracker’s’ lieutenant advisor. When Rupert mentioned that he’d take care of it, Majima responded, “Take yer time; there’s plenty ‘a fights,” with a gleeful malice and hung up. And while the spell was Ethan’s fault, the costume was Rupert’s.
So the violence comes like second nature. He bites back the curses and spells, not to spare Ethan but because they would only cloud the issue.
“Tell me how to stop the spell,” he insists, and Ethan sneers like this means nothing to him.
“Say ‘pretty please,’” Ethan suggests, which earns another kick.
Finally, Ethan tells him to break the statue, but the victory is far too easy.
And…of course, the bugger’s run off. Fortunate he still remembers a little old tracking spell isn’t it?

As much as Rupert doesn’t want to admit it, Ripper is pretty close at hand right now. Xander’s gotten involved in this whole mess because he’d encouraged him to participate. The boy had started to crawl out of his shell, and had actually enjoyed the few films about yakuza they’d watched the previous night. He hadn’t expected the boy to actually enjoy foreign films, but apparently he and the girls had standing Bollywood marathons (well, at least, they had, before Xander’s life had changed). He’d remained subdued, and while Giles couldn’t honestly say he’d thought he’d ever miss the irreverence and ‘G-man’, a polite, ghostly Xander was…disconcerting.
