Hidden Monsters

Summary:

Tengen Uzui made a name for himself as a club owner. Well actually he made 3: Rikou an investor, Zenta the assassin, Masahito the business man and they were all brothers running an illegal crime syndicate and a secret hospital for those who couldn't afford health care.

He had distanced himself from the family he loved as time passed and he didn't age. He was never expecting to get attached to another person or well have one attached to him when Sanemi walked through into his bar after a harsh break up with his abusive ex. Or so he thought.

He was going to kill the imposter but fate had other plans. Haunted by the memories of his predecessor, or his vengeful spirit (Sanemi can be kind of a bitch) Tengen has to come to terms with who this imposter actually is.

This imposter ends up falling for one of his personas.

How long can he lie to the man? When will he break the man's heart for loving someone who doesn't even exist? Will his identity be found out? And how long until he is arrested for his crimes?

Chapter 1: Past Life Present Day

Chapter Text

Tengen decided that he would take a few years to concentrate on his work. Since he could no longer visit with his family once his granddaughter due to her age and health, he took a step back. It was probably for the best since her family didn't need to get caught up in his dealings anyway.

As one of the most wanted men in all of Japan he wasn't exactly the safest man to be around. Alot of the time he used his power to hide his appearance with different colored hair and eyes. Really he had a different persona for each form he took on and the only ones who knew the truth were his most trusted inner circle of the most well known crime syndicate in the country. He also showed who he truly was to the beloved members of his cult as they offered themselves as sacrifices to him.

Even after a few decades he never was caught. Occasionally he would spend a few years away so his case goes cold before showing up again to cause chaos to the masses. When he comes around people tend to go missing, animal attacks become more frequent and there is always a crime scene to clean up around the city. He enjoys his time taunting the police that will never know his true identity.

Even with all of his extracurricular activities he still finds time to visit all of the businesses that he's acquired over the years. An eighth of the city belongs to him including several restaurants, a few bars, a pet store, and his favorite venture, a nightclub. Most of the businesses are gifted to his followers to be able to fulfill their dreams and serve him well but the nightclub was all his. It served as a base for all of his activities and he was most likely found there if not at one of the many apartments he owned for each of his personas.

All in all his life was pretty good when he visited the human realm.
