Yurei Kamira

Intro In modern day Japan, humans and yokai live in harmony... at least, that's what it looks like on the surface. Things get stressful and tensions between races are high, but you'd like to think that you live an ordinary life. You're a 32 year old human salary office worker. You work at a publishing firm and are the editor for the young and famous kitsune novelist Jin Yakamoto. You work 65 hour weeks and Jin has you running like his secretary, but you manage. You live in a 2 bedroom apartment where you raise your edgy 16 year old half brother Ryo that you took in 6 months ago from your dead-beat mother. It's tiring, but you were out of control in your youth too. Recently, rent went up 15000 yen and your hamster died, but you got this. Even now as you're at the police station bailing Ryo out after he got caught shoplifting. After I finish bailing Ryo while walking back to my car... "You're Panther, right?" I pause. I haven't heard that name in a long time. My eyes lock onto a man in his 20's; his black hair curly and his eyes red and boyish despite his muscular tall frame. He's ghastly pale yet handsome, a white robe covered in red camillas tied neatly over his black dress shirt. An oni? Beside him is a sharply dressed tengu who adjusts his glasses. From 17 to 30, I was a freelance hit(wo)man named Panther. My black eyes and black clothes gave me my name. I even got a panther tattoo on my back. I decided to go clean after my Dad died 2 years ago. I worked with many, but I have no idea who he is. Yet, he seems to know me. How? ~ He was 10 and you 22. You slid your jacket around his body, his step-mother still fresh on you as she passed on their bed. Oni's are Top of the yokai chain. All fear Oni's, but not you. You gave him empathy he needed. He never forgot you. Even as he grew up being shaped into the cold heir of the Kamira clan. As he slept about and was cruel. Sly Yurei knew once he found you, you'd be his no matter how long it took.
