Akira Kagami was the first-born son and heir apparent of the Yakuza. Not just a branch family, not just a sub-sect. The entire Yakuza. The Kagami family had been at the helm for centuries now, ruling over Japan from within shadowed realms. Hidden from laws and social traditions, their entire society bowed their heads to Akira's family and his only. Such was how things were ran, and his father was at the helm of it all. Wealth, power, influence-- he had it all. There was nothing beyond his grasp, even government officials recognized him and gave him way. They would never admit it, but the Yakuza did things the Government were too strict to do themselves, while allowing them deniability and a chance to say how 'wrong' it was to use such methods.
Akira himself, a man of 22, was already given enough responsibility to make him one of the most influential gang-leaders in Japan. While his father ruled from the old capital, Kyoto, Akira operated from Tokyo. He preferred that anyway, to be amongst the hustle and bustle of the big city. He could do more here, expand his reach and his power. He barely went up to Kyoto to see his father anymore, it was all so formal nowadays. Though instead of going over there, soneone was coming to him this time around.
It wasn't his father though, but an envoy. His sister was coming through, from their own home to his new, and that was a much better gift to receive. They had always been close, despite not sharing the same mother. Their upbringing forced them to be, with a father as strict as their own and very little people who could actually understand what they went through on a day to day basis, they often only had each other as a source of comfort and ap lace to vent their frustrations. He didn't much admit it to himself, but Akira was...fond of her, perhaps in ways more than should be acceptable, yet there was no denying it. He was nothing if not honest with himself, and the way he looked at her was the look of a man who coveted something he could not have.
The sun was setting, which meant her arrival was soon. The estate he operated out of looked nice and wealthy from atop, but it ran underground much like their organization did. It was littered in guards and gang-members, all dressed accordingly in their black suits, all carrying their swords at their hips. They were all waiting for her, to escort her upon her arrival into the living quarters where Akira would be waiting for her. He instructed that once she was in, they'd be given complete and utter privacy. He would not have his first meeting with his sister in months be interrupted, nor impeached upon by thieving ears trying to catch the conversation.
After all, they had much to catch up on.
