Please Have Mercy On Me (Genji X Mercy)

Something Bleeds

🐉"The battle continues."~Genji | Sorry I'm cutting this chapter a little short.~Maddy🐉

The next morning after breakfast, Hanzo and Genji went into the garden to train. Genji was able to block most of Hanzo's attacks, but when Hanzo knew he would win he didn't attack. He either held the bamboo stick close to Genji or press it to his chest to claim his victory. Genji was fine with it as long as he wasn't attacked for real. They trained all morning until lunchtime. Genji was able to hit Hanzo back by the end.

"Woah, good job brother. You're learning!"

Genji laughed a bit knowing he had the upper hand.

"I think I want to become a master swordsman."

"Really? I'm pretty good at the swords myself. I can see you becoming incredible with swords."

Sojiro walked passed them. He gave an intense look. He looked troubled.

"Something wrong, father?" Hanzo asked from across the garden.

Sojiro stopped in his tracks and turned to his sons with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Everything is fine my sons. Continue your training."

Sojiro walked away. Hanzo looked to his brother laying down his bamboo stick and sighing.

"I don't think the elders like me." Genji said quietly.

"It doesn't matter. You will become a great assassin one day. I'll be right by you, always."

Genji smiled.

"Thanks brother."

---------------

"Here you go Genji. Be home before dinner."

"Wow, thankyou father!"

Before Genji could run out of his father's office he was stopped by his brother. Hanzo stared down at him.

"Brother, I thought we were going to train. Our testing is next week."

Genji looked solemnly at the ground.

"I'm...busy."

"Busy?"

"Maybe we can train later, Hanzo. I gotta go."

Genji ran out of the room. Hanzo sighed looking up at his father.

"He's almost 16 father. What will happen if Genji does not learn the proper skills to lead the Clan?"

Sojiro chuckled a bit. He stood up and walked to his eldest son and set a hand to his shoulder.

"Do not worry about your brother. I have faith in you Hanzo, to be the best leader to this clan, in history."

All of a sudden Sojiro gasped and turned to cough into his arm hard. Hanzo stared in shock.

"Father?"

Sojiro took his hand away to reveal blood. He gasped and took his hand from Hanzo's view. He cleared his throat.

"Father? Are you ok?" Hanzo saidaying a hand to his father's arm.

"I am fine my son. Go finish your training. I'll be out soon."

Genji hit the buttons rapidly. People were standing all around him. Sweat trickled down his face and his eyes beat red from the pixled screen. As people came up to watch they were shushed by the crowd. He was too focused. This was a moment that would go down in 16 Bit Hero arcade history. Genji had completed all but 1 high score in the entire arcade. He was almost at the end of Si3ge Mode 3. He gapsed almost dying in the game, but steeped away when he heard the game's melodious music of victory. Genji officially had the highest rank on every game in the arcade. People around him started to clap and scream. All of a sudden a punch from the audience hit Genji's nose. He was hit to the ground. Genji wiped his bleeding nose and coughed a bit trying not to cry. He winced in pain and looked up to see his opponent. Genji gasped at the sight of his brother staring him down in disappointment. Genji shakily held out his hand trying to keep Hanzo from laying another punch.

"Don't do that again, please."

"So, you were 'busy'?"

Genji stood up letting the tears fall from his face.

"I'm sorry brother. I couldn't tell you the truth. You would have kept me from leaving."

"You're right and I should have." Hanzo said sternly.

He looked towards the ground.

"I'm ready to go home and see father."

"Genji, he's gone."

"Gone?" Genji said curiously. "When will he be back?"

Hanzo sighed and grabbed Genji's arm tightly. Genji winced in pain and tried to pull Hanzo off, but he tightened his grip. Hanzo looked down and gritted his teeth. Tears started streaming down his face.

"Hanzo?"

"He's...he's dead, Genji."

Genji's eyes went wide. Did he hear Hanzo right? He stopped trying to pry his arm and just stared at his crying brother.

"N-nani?"

Hanzo's grip tightened and he raised his voice.

"I said he's dead Genji! Father is dead!"

Genji's heart stopped. The world around him fell into slow motion. He gasped loudly filling a sense of sulkeness throughout his body. For a moment he couldn't feel his brother's tight grip. Everyone watching around them dispapeared from his mind. Genji fell to his knees and grabbed at his brothers kimono. Tears fell into it.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Genji sobbed hard, gripping Hanzo's kimono tightly.

"Whyyyyyy! What are we going to do, Hanzo?!"

"Shit!"

"H-Hanzo! I'm I'm so sorry! I have dishonored us all!"
