Young McHanzo AU

CH.7

Jesse took much longer than an hour. The sun was setting by the time he opened the door and walked in. He had a cut across his arm and quickly shut the door, closing the gap in the blinds and blowing out the candle he had left. He pressed against the south wall and listened to the sound of many footsteps passing by the house. He waited a few minutes before sighing and looking at Hanzo.
"Did you find out our battles plans?" he asked.
"More or less." he admitted, Jesse sat down across from him and looked at the paper.
"What is this? You just circled things and doodled!"
Hanzo rolled his eyes, "That's Japanese, you idiot."
"God, you're hand writing is impossible to read."
"Haha." he said flatly, snatching the paper from his hands. "The Amari family is the 'fancy family' you wanted to look into earlier. tomorrow they hold a party for only those invited, but luckily with them it is now hard to get invited," he held up the flier, "just find two of these and they will let us in."
"That's it? I've been to bars harder to get in to!"
"They're trusting people." he admitted. "But the Shimada party, the seventh day, and the Ziegler party, the ninth, are going to be the hardest to get into. The Shimada's you need a hand written invitation, and the Ziegler's you need an invitation and you need to show them your face."
"Wouldn't they already be seeing you face?"
Hanzo blinked slowly, then realized Jesse had no idea, "All of the events require a mask, even walking through the Amari's district requires a mask."
"Well that would have been nice to know before! Everything is closed now and we have to leave tomorrow?"
"Plus, you need a better mask than that to get into a fancy party."
Jesse groaned and leaned back in the chair, "Alright, this party is at noon, right?"
"Somewhat."
"Ok, so how much would a nice mask cost?"
"Maybe 100 yen?"
Jesse's head fell on the table, "That's just about all the money i have! That's one mask?" Hanzo nodded, "Ok, then well have to think of something else for you. I'll go buy a mask in the morning, and then those fliers, then we will be off to the party."
He got up and once again disappeared behind the thin curtain separating the rooms. "Oh! If luck would have it I've got a fancy mask!" He came out without his get up and handed Hanzo a mask. He stared at it intently; it was white, yellow around the eyes and stone carved to look like fur tufts at the bottom, on each side was a carefully carved golden dragon.It would cover most of his face for sure, yet it seemed familiar to him. When realization struck, it almost fell out of his hands.
He had worn that mask almost four years ago today, when he and Genji had snuck out of the Shimada house and gone out to celebrate the festival. That night was the last night he ever snuck out.
They had been a little drunk, wandering the steers of Hanamura they accidentally made a wrong turn and ended up in the flooded district, when they turned to leave none other than reaper showed up on the bridge separating the market from the abandoned homes. Hanzo had forced Genji to run and he had stayed to fight him. He had no weapon, he could barely stand straight, but he tried his best. Almost immediately his mask was ripped off and he fell to the ground. he would have died,  no doubt, but Reaper didn't want to kill him. Most likely he knew that that would cross the line and the flooded district would no longer be a safe place for criminals. So he left Hanzo alone to sneak back into the house and find an excuse to where his mask had gone and why he was injured.
He stared at the very same mask now, a crack
across one of the eyes from where it had fallen to the bridge.
"So that's what you'll wear, and i suppose i've gotta find myself a mask, don't I?"
"Why don't you just wear this one?"
"Doesn't fit my face. i've tried, trust me."
it wouldn't have fit him, it was custom made to fit his face and only his face. He wondered how he had gotten it, or why he had kept it after he had figured out it wouldn't fit.

A/N: okay so first, i have no idea if thats a lot of yen or if yen would even be used? I'm guessing here. Second, i know it doesn't make sense for there to be Ana and Pharah as like a noble family in Hanamura, or for Mercy to be like the 'Queen' but keep in mind this wasn't really made to be a fanfic and i'm trying my best with what i've got so far.
Also i completely forgot i had this draft saved
