If the runners actually stole anything that could
be considered to belong to the yakuza, then the
yakuza will see them dead, period. If the players
KNEW the fixer was protected by the yakuza,
the yakuza will see them dead, period. If they
can plead ignorance, AND offer to make amends
by paying the yakuza what they think the fixer
was worth to them, then the MAY be the yakuza
will let them live. It's actually unlikely.

The best way I can think of to handle this, is to
have the players not be as guilty as they think
they are. The whole thing was elaborate setup to
make the yakuza blame the wrong people, and
even the PCs fell for it. Perhaps the fixer
actually faked his own death, to cover up the fact
that he was actually stealing from the yakuza. If
the players find this out and tell the yakuza, the
heat will be off.
