tokyo's underworld is run by three factions: The Yakuza, Korean émigrés, and the Triad which has been mostly destroyed by the android uprising and a war of takeover by the other two factions.

 

both Vivian and Cho Sen are masters of the same martial art and can act on Qi/Chi, the energy all humans possess but few can manipulate.

G views Earth from above, accessing a satellite. She too has the same powers as Vivian. To her, the lights of the Earth look like the stars. Mankind's fear of the night released.

On the Earth below three women have the same kind of experience: replacement lust for their unfulfilled obsessions. Satomi with the Interpol Agent sent to train her to kill who they think is Vivian, but is G; G with an American businesswoman left out in the chauvinistic culture of Japan; and Vivian with Cho Sen, her Sifu's other masterful student, and all the young girls her Ikko Ikki gang can find to try and sate her escape. Thus the first half of kotb: san is titled Sex.

In the second half the Koreans and Yakuza respond to the growing power of the Ikko Ikki, a collection of the remnants of the Triads and the larger street gangs brought together by Vivian and upsetting the old ways, by employing a motorcycle gang called Les Miserables to kill the two Angels Of Death: Vivian and Cho Sen. Satomi returns to Japan and the motorcycle gang she once stayed with in hiding, long years ago during kotb: '0', re-enacting the famed bicycle race this time on motorcycles. Satomi feels that she is getting her life back together until she finds out that Vivian is with another and suicidal depression returns. For Vivian the knowledge that her friends are alive sends her into a deep funk that Cho Sen takes advantage of to cement her place as Vivian's other. The Les Miserables lay their trap and over 23,000 words later Vivian, Satomi and Cho Sen are all in each others presence, G watching from afar, and old feelings return and jealousy and hatred burn. The second half of kotb: san is titled Violence.

Serge, with his hard boiled Japanese police officers, Aniki and Suzuburo, and Hansel have their roles to play as well, as of yet unwritten but will continue the tracking of Mercury, and her assault and utter destruction of Thebes.

Currently, kotb: san is at 110,000 words. The first half has been written and will be retitled. The second half has had a lot of progress done on it up to the introduction of the Les Miserables. There the continuity of the story ends and a large 23,000 word finale for Vivian, Satomi and G has been added. The majority of Serge/Hansel/Mercury threads has yet to be written as should be just as large, and then there is the filler and alterations that neen to be made to make the parts fit together properly after such a long time in hiatus.
