Inuyasha Modern Yakuza AU ideas
(obviously tw for violence, and also suggested attempted sexual assault)
The Inu Gang (I’m just calling them that for now) Headed by Sesshomaru after his late father passed away. The front of the whole gang is a restaurant called simply, The West, and it has a literal underground casino where most of the actual business is conducted. Before his death, Taishou separated from his first wife, though they remained steady business partners and he fell in love with a civilian, a wealthy business mans daughter. At this point he left most of the business to Kimi (that’s just what I’m gonna call Sesshomaru’s mother) as he pursued Izayoi. The two were planning to build a family together until Taishou was killed in a scuffle with a rival gang leader. Izayoi had a child out of wedlock and her family sent her to live in a country home out of the public eye because of the shame of it all. They lived in relative happiness until Izayoi suddenly fell ill and passed away. Inuyasha ran away from the grandparents that were going to force him into being an uptight yes man in their company and is now what most people would consider a “yanki” living how he wants getting by with the help of some of his fathers friends. Sesshomaru is now of age and the head of the family and though he does not fear any of his mean trying to over throw him with Inuyasha at the head, he hates the idea of his father leaving his family and wants nothing to do with his half brother.
That’s the basic set up I guess?? I don’t know how everyone would fit in, but I encourage input on this idea 100000%. Let me know what you guys think, if you’d want to join this AU, things like that. Here are some other little bullet points I’ve thought about (mostly Rin, because...you know, she’s my muse)
Rin runs into Sesshomaru for the first time after he’s badly injured in a fight that arouse between him and Inuyasha. She’s an orphan who had runaway from the home she was boarding in stumbled upon him in an alley. She couldn’t help him much, but she did run and get the attention of Jaken, Sesshomaru’s right hand man who was waiting by car at the mouth of the alley before running away in case she was taken back to the orphanage.
The second time they met it was behind the restaurant, The West. Rin was being cornered by some members of a gang who had crossed over their territory lines and were attempting some rather unpleasant advances. Sesshomaru, remembering the girl from before and dispatched the assailants, but Rin was wounded in the scuffle and Sesshomaru brought her into the restaurant and had his clansmen nurse her back to health. Somehow she just....stuck around afterwards and became an honorary clansman, even learning the fine art of knife wielding, eventually becoming a handy assassin because who suspects such a nice, sweet little girl to slit your throat?
