Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Kyo/Toshiya, Kaoru/Toshiya, Die/Shinya, Aoi/Uruha
General Warnings: AU, sex, violence, language, yakuza theme, character death, mental illness themes
Chapter Warnings: mild drug use
Previously: The Prodigy | The Rent Boy | The Escort | The Imposter | The Professional | The Shateigashira | The Bargain | The Addict | The Rookie | The Long Night | The Lights | The Chase | The Brothel | The Pits | The Memory | The Truce | The Plan | The Shateigashira's Game | The Oyabun | The Suspect | The Revelations | The Oyabun's Advice | The Fortune Teller | The Escape | The Betrayal | The Aftermath | The Ghost | The City of Ashes | The Special Assignment | The Runaway | The Keyhole | The Geiko's Son | The Gentle Hour | The Three Trophies | The Tiger's Bride | The Silver Kanzashi | The Murderer | The Oyabun's Child | The Last Kiss | The Wire
Notes: this is the prequel to Protect Me. For the yakuza terminology and hierarchy that I'm working with, please see here.
Also, I was terrifically blocked with this chapter. Thanks to those who encouraged me and told me to relax a bit. I'm still not 100% happy, but I think at this point I have to knock this hurdle down rather than keep trying to jump over it.
When a young prostitute is found with blood on his hands, he catches the eye of the Inagawa clan's prodigy and quickly finds himself tangled up within Osaka's criminal underworld. Taken into a yakuza house and pimped by the mysterious shateigashira, he is desperate for any means of escape - but in a house of cards, can anybody really be trusted?
