Trophy Hunter// Demon Hanzo x Demon hunter Cassidy

Chapter 1-Refuge

{Hanzo POV}

The forest I live in has been my refuge for these past months, but now I think the humans know where I am. Recently, I've been seeing more "Bait." They cut up Rabbits and kittens and set them free into the forest.

Like I would eat them.

I don't eat helpless things, or fragile ones.

I would help them instead, my blood helps their wounds regenerate quickly without consequence, they don't turn into some demon-animal thing. They can live on with their life. I wish the humans could listen to my intentions. 

With that, more trees have cut down hoping they could find me, or drive me out of here, no one is on my side except my brother, I could always trust him with my life.

My father is someone I could have trusted too. Although he had bad intentions, and deserved his fate, he always treated Genji and I well... better than those other demons.

SNAP

I hear a stick break, Just to be safe, secrete this aroma it causes anyone, to have this euphoric feeling, then fall into a deep sleep if inhaled enough, nothing harmful.

I stare down from the tree I've been on, waiting for the person to show themselves.

"Oh geez, I'm feeeling... oddly weird." a familiar voice said, faint green light's appear.

At first, I wasn't too sure who or what that was, It took me a moment to realize it was my brother. I wasn't too used to his armor.

"GENJI!" I jump down from the tree, "Are you feeling okay?"

He shakes himself back to reality. "Yea, yea, that aroma feels weird, I don't like it..."

"Sorry, I didn't want to resort to running away." with running away, I had to shift into dragons, 2 small ones, or they can merge into 1 big one, either way, I don't favor that form.

"It's understandable. Don't worry about it, so, How's everything going."

I didn't want to tell him anything about the forest, anything about them leaving bait out for me, thinking I would take it like some dog.

"Truthfully... Not so well. They, well..." My voice starts getting shaky. "They, are cutting down trees, they are trying to drive me out. They've been trying... a lot of force recently."

My brother looks at me worried then looks at my hand, my faint scars, when demons get injured, we heal quickly, but that doesn't mean the injuries truly go away.

"There is a lot of injured animals here... I suppose." Genji replies. He knows that because he knows I have a habit of giving blood to severely injured animals

I nod.

"There have been rabbits, cats, dogs, there have been many, they cut them up, hoping I would smell the blood. I do but... well, I don't want them to die, they don't deserve it."

"You're right Brother, You're doing the right thing, but now, its not safe for you here."

I nod, "Yes, I now realize..." I look back into the forest, the place that has been my refuge for months, will now become my fate if I stay.

"Unless you are willing to kill them, but, we swore not to do that exact thing."

"Yes, yes, but I don't have many options, now do I..." I sit near a tree, and observe my torn black Hakama*, recently, I've been wishing for a new one maybe a blue one, something to match my face markings... "The only thing I think of is moving somewhere else...That's risky though."

Genji's head perks up. "I actually mentioned that to Angela."

"Who...?" I ask

"Do you remember her... Did I ever introduce you to her."

I thought for a moment... "oh, she was the lady like pretty far from you last time we met."

"YEA! her!" Genji sits down in front of me with his legs crossed. "She said something about her having a secret place behind somewhere she uses for storage."

I was conflicted. Behind where exactly, will I be trapped there, will I be able to leave? I had so many questions at this point.

"...I don't know Genji." I look up from my torn clothes, "Will I just be there doing nothing...? What will happen..."

Genji took an uncomfortable pause. "Honestly... It does seem like that. It's not ideal, but... I'm worried, we both are."

...

I look back on the times in this forest, but now it's all going downhill, at one point they will find me... and they won't be so kind on me if they do. I don't want anyone hurt anymore.

"Maybe. Just for a little until they think I died off... or something." I say, I'm still hesitant about being stuck in some empty place, but, you know.

"You sure, I won't make you. If its really what you want."

"Yes, It's what I want, I don't want to worry the townsfolk, I want them to think they ran off."

"Alright then" Genji sounded relived, he pulled out... to be honest. I don't know how to explain it.

I try getting a better look on it... "What...what are you tapping on?"

"Oh! My team gifted me one once I joined them... they wanted to give me one once they found out I never had one. Its a Cellular phone. You can send letters but it gets there faster on the other persons cellular phone."

"Thats... odd." I add.

"But very convenient." 

"I suppose." I look back down at my clothes, they were torn, and, dirty, well, before my father died a few years ago, he gifted these to me, Although I wish for new ones. These are very dear to my heart.

Genji notices me looking at them. "Do you want new Hakama brother?...or a new outfit."

"Well... sort of, but I like these, they remind me of father."

He sighs. "Yes, but he was not a good person."

"I know, but he did take care of us, he favored us better than the others."

"Because we were powerful to him, We both we demon's of dragons. In different ways I guess."

I guess Genji was right, Genji was the demon on swiftness, I was of power. Other demons had different classes, like demons of fire, demons of random things sometimes.

I nodded. I wanted to end that conversation...

Well to be fair I started it.

"So, we should probably get moving." I say, "The townsfolk come around here about this hour, well not for you, I would assume they like you."

"I guess you are right about them liking me...I'm like a piece of fiction to them, I guess that makes it more appealing."

Genji opens a messenger bag and looks at me.

I do not favor the dragon form, but if it allows me not to be killed. Then so be it.

With a quick flash of smoke I am two small dragons, But, we are in sync, so I am technically controlling one, I can change my conscience between the two.

Genji holds me up like a he would with a noodle.

"I forgot how small you were in this form."

He gently places me into the bag.

"It only takes about 10 minutes to get there. It won't be long brother."
