Well, I finally have a role for Yakou and Shinigami.
My guy will take Vivia's role, so he has the Spectral Projection Forte, and Shinigami will be an Amaterasu Researcher and Tenko's older sister!
I wanted to do this for the Rain Code Ship Week, since that's the prompt I mostly looked forward to, but I was conflicted on drawing this scene of Yakou finding about Chief Tenko's note and past, or recreate that one scene in the Mystery Laberynth of Chap.4 with Yakou fighting Yuma in order to keep the Chief's secret.
Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with the scene so I stuck with this one.
Context below the cut!
Tenko and Sherley (Shinigami's human name for this) were really close, even when choosing different career paths, they still shared part of their lives.
This means that Sherley and Tenko were just in a casual meeting on the cafe when the hitman found them, attempted to gunshot Sherley and Tenko defended her sister.
Tenko still had to pay the damages and Sherley helped.
Sherley wanted to expose Dr. Aide (Fake Zilch who takes Huesca's role)'s dealings with Guillamine (since she is the Peacekeepers director in this) and she got killed by Yomi (who takes Fake Zilch's role as a hitman) in a wanna-be accident, 4 years before the current events.
Tenko attempts to investigate and almost got to Yomi and Dr. Aide involvement before one of her last employees got killed and she took this as a huge warning, stopping the investigation.
Fast forward to a really depressed state, she receives this letter by Guillamine, the Master Detectives arrive (Melami, Shachi, Iruka, Yakou and Yuma respectively) and the plans goes mostly similar, with the exception mayhaps that Yakou fell in love with the Chief and was more fierce on protecting her in the Mystery Laberynth.
Contrary to Vivia in the game who finally accepted Yuma's stance, in this AU, Yakou didn't do it, mostly because he didn't like that victims of injustice are killed rather than the real culprits (even though Tenko did commit murder), that was a jab for the fact that they couldn't execute Guillamine.
Also, contrary to Vivia who left after the Chief was declared dead, in this AU Yakou stayed by Tenko's side until he was forced to leave due to her body being taken to the Restricted Area.
And Yakou actually stayed on Kanai Ward after everyone left the city.
