I'm not gonna write a disclaimer every chapter so I'll get to the point. None of the characters or people that are mentioned belongs to me except for my characters and me. There. Now read and review my fanfic. Flames will be used to burn coppers. BTW, a different person in a different character's POV will do each chapter, usually. The character will be after the chapter title and the author of the chapter after that. Thanx much!

Chapter 1: The Mob Begins/ Sesshômaru/YLS
----------------------------
I am the Boss. The Kingpin. The Leader. The devoted chief and brother of two of my members. I am what they live for and what I say is law. At any given moment, I could force them to kill everyone they care for, just for my entertainment. But I will never do that. Though it seems that I am, nobody is that heartless, as far as I know.
Everyone in my syndicate would give their life to save mine; they would slaughter to fulfill my desires. Some are rebellious but eventually they bend to my needs. But it isn't all about me. What I do I do for the mob and the mob does what I tell them to do. We coexist and support each other although it seems like I am the one they all depend on. I am the guiding light in their darkness. The backbone of the syndicate.
And it is true that we do illegal things but we never kill in cold blood like the other gangs.
Ah, I have many names. Lord Sesshômaru, Sesshômaru-sama, Oniichan, Boss, and these are just within the syndicate. You see we are the Youkai Syndicate, one of the most feared gangs in the United States.
Most of us are either human or demon but some of us are half and almost all of our members are from Japan or America. These are the main members:
Yami Lobo Schwarz: I call her Yume though most call her YLS. She's my second-in-command and the one that started it all. Whatever she wants, I shall give her if it is within my power. Yume is my half-sister by my mother. Her father was a different dog demon. Kurama's apprentice for charms and healing powers, she uses a chainsaw and a katana.
Kuniicha: Kunii-chan is a stanch and violent human. Yume adores her so I allowed her to join. Not much is known about her yet except for the fact that she is in love with Miroku and hates Vash. She uses a katana and a .44.
Emii: She is lives next to Kyuui and has a personality like her. Both are human. I usually give her revolvers to use because I don't know her personal preference. She is in love with Kôga.
Kyuui: Violent, head-strong and opinionated, she always tells things like they are. I have her use bazookas and rocket launchers for the same reason that I have Emii use revolvers. Not much else is known about them.
Usagi: Our master artist, code-breaker and code-maker. She's also our second cleric. A valued member that is looked up by many. She is not put into many battles but when she does it is usually to cast protective and mending spells.
SesshouYasha: A friend of Yume's and a hanyou. She supplies everyone with weapons and information. Many strange people hang onto her (though not Yume). She is yet another person that is here because of my sister.
InuYasha: My half-brother by my father. His mother was a human. I am not very fond of him but I must protect my family from the gangs that want revenge on us. He uses a large sword called Tetsusaiga and a variety of claw attacks.
Kôga: A wolf demon. He is a rival to my brother in love but can not match him in power. He is a bit simple minded at times but is also very loyal. He, like Vegeta, uses his hands and feet to fight. The Shikon no Tama shards in his arm and legs give him greater strength.
Kurama: A kitsune or a fox demon. His true power is hidden. He is very reliable and rather intelligent. His favorite weapon is a rose whip. My conversations with him are pleasant. He is my most dependable messenger. He's also our first medic and florist.
Hiei: One of the biggest troublemakers and the strongest as well. I usually send him on assassinations or meetings with informants to keep him busy. He is often reckless and arrogant so I don't allow him to do much work where he must protect someone. Also a demon, his sister is our master healer.
Miroku: Kuniicha's partner. He is also a Vash-hater. A bit of a pervert, he resorts to a staff and this vacuum-thing in the middle of his palm. He and Kuniicha are guards and an important part of gang fights.
Vash the Stampede: He usually tags along with Wolfwood. Something happened between him and Kuniicha so now I can't stick them together for anything. His is the best shot I have and is useful for many jobs. His codename is Humanoid Typhoon.
Wolfwood: He's the guy that keeps up everyone's moral during the gang fights. He carries around a giant cross-like gun that he keeps wrapped up. I usually have him teach new members how to scam people and pickpockets. He can also smuggle things in from different countries if he has SY help.
Vegeta: He's the mechanic and my personal chauffeur. He is constantly modifying my Ferrari. He is a master of unarmed fighting and energy blasts. A rebel and a troublemaker, Vegeta is a special type of alien called a saiyan.
Himura Kenshin: A cheery ex-manslayer. His warrior and codename is Battôsai, though he despises it. I put him on missions where he must protect or attack something without killing. I know that if he were to get blood on his hands he would go back to slaying.
Jaken: A toad demon. He is our informer in the Pigs Agency. For those that don't know, pigs are cops. Yume is very apprehensive because he grovels far too much and even I am beginning to suspect that he is being a double agent…but that has yet to be revealed.
----------------------------
Those are the important members of Youkai for right now. Most of the important information is kept within this ring of people, although everyone inside and out, knows the number one rule of my syndicate: You lie to the mob, you DIE by the mob.
That is all you need to know for now. So here's my story…
----------------------------
I was dreaming about the pigs being on my tail. They almost caught me but an ocean wiped them all out. Then a forest grew around me. The branches smacked at my chest over and over until I realized that Yume was jumping on me, shouting for me to wake up. "Shut up." I said, still half-asleep.
"But it's important!"
"What could be more important that me getting a full five hours of sleep? I usually don't even get three!"
"Some guy from another gang is messing around with Hiei's sister-"
I was up before she finished. Though most of the people in my syndicate wear tuxes or street clothes, I wear the kimono my father gave me. If it were not for him, I wouldn't have the money for my gang so I wear it to show authority. The blood-red flower inside of a crimson hexagon is also the sign of Youkai.
Yume was wearing her usual women's tux. It's just like a men's except the jacket is a vest and the shirt underneath is a sleeveless. The cuffs and slacks are still in it though. On her forearms were long strips of white silk with our emblem. Yume often jokes about looking like a Chippendale's dancer but that is off subject.
I hurried to my black Ferrari. Vegeta and Hiei were waiting. Hiei had his katana, his gi (as usual), Tokijin and Yume's chainsaw. We got in and Vegeta drove to the spot as fast as he could. Along the way, Yume spoke for Hiei. She has this power to read and see people's emotions and thoughts. It comes in handy sometimes.
"Who is it and what gang?" My voice sounded cold.
Yume turned to Hiei and focused. "He-I see; it's Kazuma Kuwabara from the Ghosts. Their leader's Yusuke Urameshi. They've got two female members and a lot more male punks than all of our members combined. Hiei and Kurama came from it. All of them are human except for one of their females. Her name is Botan. She's their medic. Her weapon is an oar and her species is unknown. That's all we know about her.
"Their other female, Keiko Yukimura, is not very strong but there's a rumor going around that whenever she's on the battlefield, the Ghosts never lose more than two guys. She's also Yusuke's love interest-"
"Enough. Just confirm this or not. It is Kazuma Kuwabara that is fooling around with Yukina?"
She concentrated again. "Yes. Hiei says that we're almost there. I believe he's messed with us before."
I didn't answer but I know that she knew I thought 'Good.'
We arrived there shortly after our conversation. Hiei's eyes flashed with anger and he gripped the hilt of his katana tighter when he saw him.
"Let me take care of it-" Yume started.
"No." I said, "Can you even imagine what they'd do to you if you failed? I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!"
I think she saw that I was serious because she nodded and mumbled that she would stay behind me for support. I tucked Tokijin into my armor sash, right beside Tenseiga, and stepped out. "Let that ice apparition go!" My voice was commanding.
Kazuma was an inch away from kissing her. I could tell he had been touching her in very improper places. And compared to what the other members would do to her or Yume just to get to me, he was being a gentleman.
I was angered just thinking about it. Kuwabara looked up at me but didn't let go of Yukina. I spoke again. "Let her go or suffer the wrath of the Youkai Syndicate!"
"The Ghosts are not afraid of you common thieves!"
"You will regret ever messing with my sister!" Hiei exited the car and stood at my left side.
"Hiei…" Yukina breathed.
I could smell Yume's anxiety at my right. She stiffened under my gaze and got a firmer grasp on her chainsaw. "Do not unleash it. Not yet." I whispered to her.
She nodded and clutched onto the sleeve of my kimono. I could feel her healing powers dancing across my skin, making me stronger and more durable to physical attacks. She was using the Protection Spell she learned from Usagi-san the day before.
"You have one last chance before we rip you apart!" I stated firmly.
"The chick's mine." Kuwabara said, "The Ghosts will destroy you!!"
"I have business with you and Urameshi, not your gang. This is personal."
"I'm right here." A voice said from behind Kuwabara.
Yusuke Urameshi stepped out of the shadows. He was still in junior high and had his own gang; I was not impressed. "We found this girl in our territory so she's ours-Hiei. You SOB. What's it like, being a traitor."
"Just peachy." He said flatly, "Give me back my sister or I'll carve out all of your organs."
Urameshi was not fazed. The four of us had a staring contest while the Ghosts flicked we demons off. I touched Yume's hand and she did it. In a second, Yukina was at Hiei's side. She fell into his chest and started crying. I felt a twinge deep inside when he started patting her back but it soon faded when I turned back to business. "You will repent for the trouble you have caused me. I have lost two hours of sleep because of you two SOBS."
"You witch!" The ghost started to curse at Yume. I drew Tokijin as she revved up her chainsaw. I killed ten of their members in naught but a millisecond. Yume, though, had trouble. They were surrounding her, trying to touch her. I threw my claws toward them and all of them died from the poison. Blood sprayed all over the two of us. Right when she had cast a healing spell, more of the punks came to attack us. And the more Ghosts that rose to us, the more that fell. It was when they started running that I saw her; Yukimura was behind Urameshi. She was scared and her eyes were blank. I then noticed that Yume was staring at her intently. This was why they were dieing. She had hypnotized their trump card. Urameshi noticed my sister and went into a passion. "You're hurting her!"
When Yume didn't answer he became even more furious. He shot a powerful energy beam at her and I intercepted. My demon armor shattered from the Reiki Gun. But Yume was safe. That was what mattered.
"I'll kill you, Sesshômaru-san!!" His eyes started to glow with a bright blue light.
I knew not of this technique. Yukimura dropped to the ground. Before I realized it, a large blast of blue energy was coming right towards me. I knew I would die; not even Yume's protection spell could save me. I closed my eyes and hoped the Gods would take this as repenting for my sins. I heard the wind rush around me and something fall onto the ground. I opened one eye and found that I wasn't dead. Yusuke Urameshi was laying on the ground with a chainsaw through his stomach. And…Yume was also on the ground…smoking from the impact of the blast. As I said before, everyone in my syndicate would give up their life to save mine…even if I did not order or wish them to.
I scooped Yume up in my arms and placed her into my inner kimono. I cradled her close, allowing our demon blood to join. Her heart was still beating but her breathing was weak. Yukina approached me. She bowed and placed her hands on Yume's arms. She healed almost completely within a few minutes though she was still unconscious.
I nodded to Yukina and stepped into my car. Hiei and his sister followed and I gave Vegeta the signal to drive. Yume would heal completely but I was angry at her. And…a new emotion racked through my body. I believe it was fear.
