Oni!Genji x reader - An unlikely saviour

.

As the world was overrunby supernatural creatures of all kinds, you lived in a constant state of worry due to your human nature. Your town, which consisted of a population of purebred humans and monster hunters, was often times the targeted subjected by creatures such as ghouls and demons looking for a new host. There had been a few rare instances where there has been a mass group of creatures that attempted to rob and destroy your town. However, with the local monster hunters,the town remained in once piece with a few honourable sacrifices. One of whom was your brother. The event had caused you to be wary of every creature that roamed the earth.

You worked in one of the most popular bars in town as it was your family’s business. It was a place where hunters would gather and tell their tales of hunts and their encounters of creatures to each other and you would listen intently. You father had introduced you to the hunters and you became familiar with almost all of themand they’ve grown to appreciate you, even regarding you as family.

The loud chatter of the customer and the warm hue of the lights always made you enjoy working there. Lively nights was always a good change for the quiet town. You smiled as you neared one of the frequent hunters that would always visit the tavern when coming back from a fruitful trip.

“Another successful hunt then, McCree?” you smiled as you set his beer down.

The brunette turned to you with a smug grin on his scarred face.

“Ya got it darlin’. Gotta make sure towns safe for sweets like yourself” he winked which caused you to roll your eyes whilst laughing . His pals around him chuckled at his poor attempt at flirting.

“Well, I gotta give itto ya. Your service is greatly appreciated sooooo drinks on me tonight boys”You smiled at the guys as they erupted in cheers and toasted with each other.

You laughed and walked back to the counter where your father was awaiting you.

“[y/n] dear, I need you to pick up a couple oforders from the merchant. It’s late so take the gun with you” Your father said as he placed a hand on your shoulder.

“The merchant across town? Yeah that’s fine dad, I’ll be fine” You reassured him with your excited smile . He smiled and ruffled your hair.

“Alright then, be back before midnight dear” He said and you began preparing.

You grabbed the revolver with its holster and placed it on you hip as well as a travel bag for ammo and the itemsyou were retrieving. A common myth was told around the townsfolk that from midnight to the witching hour, the town would be littered with bands ofhellhounds. It may have been a myth,but even the hunters were wary whenroaming the streets at those hours. Currently, it was 11:25 pm, you had lessthan an hour to get back. That damn merchant had made his base across townsince business wasn’t good at your end because of your family business.

You left the warm tavernand entered the cool darkness. The wind softly ruffled your blouse as youlooked around. No one in sight.

‘Great, no one will hearme if I die’ you thought. With a sigh, you made your way through the deathlyquiet town.

The stillness of thetown was unwelcoming and unnerving. You were used to the bustle of the town andthe liveliness of the tavern, it did make you slightly anxious travellingacross town. The soft taps of your footsteps resonated the still air around you, bringing you a hint of comfort. The town faced the openness of the forest whichwas the reason of concern for the town’s folk.

‘Just a little further’you said to yourself as the cold began to set.

You rubbed yourshoulders in comfort. Until you heard the sound of heavy breathing. You quicklyturned your head toward the direction. Nothing.

‘This is freaky, I gottahurry! Where the hell is that merchant’ you curse to yourself.

You hurriedly walked,the sound of extra and slightly heavier footsteps also echoed from behind you.You didn’t bother looking back and just dashed for it. Disembodied growls couldbe heard from all directions, it terrified you and prompted to run faster. Thewind rushing past you as the buildings became a blur on your peripheral vision.

“Shit! Shit! Shit! Thisis bad” you curse at whatever was chasing you.

Suddenly, you lose yourfooting on couple of trash bags which causes you to stumble. It felt like slowmotion when you fell to the ground. Thoughts of being killed by these creaturesfilled you with determination and you pulled out your gun. You turned towardthe disembodied beasts that were chasing you and fired at them.

*Bang* *Bang*

A whimper was heard butwas quickly replaced by deeper and heavier growls. You emptied the rounds onthe hounds. You couldn’t see their forms but where the bullets had hit, youlanded 4 shots. Their forms slowly began emerging from the air. Huge black hounds with glowing red eyes nowgrowled and began approaching. You wasted no time and made a run for it again. Breathingheavily, your pace became sluggish. Then, you felt teeth sink intoyour ankle. Stumbling and screaming, you tried to kick the beast off you. The pressure of thebite caused the pain to soar through your body as your skin broke and blood waspooling around the wound.

“Fuck! Shit!” you yelledas you kept kicking it but to no avail.

Then in an instant andwith a flash of red, the pressure and fangs were gone. Now black blood pooledwhere the beast had once ravaged your leg. As you lifted your gaze up, stood a figure with a red blazing katana in hand. You were about to call out tothem, but they ran toward the approaching pack of hellhounds.

“Watch Out!” you yelledworried for your saviour.

The gravity of thesituation didn’t hit you until when you tried to move your left leg. You didn’tcarry any bandages nor were you able to rip your blouse due to its durablenature.

You heard the figureyell ‘Oni no ken wo kurae’ as he sliced the hounds and demonic growls emitted fromthem as the figure wielded his sword. It looked graceful as the bright red glowof the katana danced in swift motions. You pondered if he was another hunterbut a more… unique one. The growling stopped and so did the swift motions of thesword. You watched as the figure approach you injured form. As the light of themoon illuminated the figure, you jumped slightly at the sight of his oni mask. Thered horns of the cover glowed in the dark as did the red engravings on his Armor. The scarlet eyes pierced through the darkness and bore straight into your soul. Thefigure crouched down to your level and inspected the wound.

“Can you stand up?” Itwas a low voice, slightly muffled by the cover of his mask. It soundedmonotone, void of any emotions.

“I…I tried to get up,but it’s gone numb” You stammered as you began explaining.

“It is not safe for youto stay here with this wound. It is infected with the blood of the hellhounds,we must get it cleaned” He stated as he stood up, his voice slightly waveredwith concern for your wound.

“I live nearby, we couldgo there” You suggested.

“No that won’t do. Wewill need special potions, regular antiseptics will prove to be futile” Themasked male said as he walked closer to you.

Suddenly, you felt apair of strong arms hoist you up and held in a bridal position. You squealed insurprise and you held onto his broad shoulders. The cold touch of his armour wasmade you slightly uneasy as there was no heat emitting off him.

“Where are we going? I didn’teven get your name” You frantically questioned as confusion and worry beganforming.

“You usually ask thismany questions?” The oni male asked, a hint of annoyance.

“Just to those who swoopme up like prince charming” you chuckled, feeling little smug about yourcomment.

“Let’s not forget who’sinjured and was on the verge of dying couple of minutes ago” Your sassy saviourreplied, in a teasing tone. Slightly amused by the way an embarrassed blushformed on your face and you pouted, looking away from him.

This caused your saviourto chuckle lightly, in his low muffled voice. It was… in a sense comforting thathe wasn’t void of feeling any emotions.

“So where are we going?”you asked again, still looking away from his red piercing eyes.

“We’re leaving town, I havea cabin in the forest. I’ll be able to treat your wound there” He said, hisanswer genuine and concerned for your health.

“…Thank you, you’re tookind to a stranger like me” You say as you look up at him with a genuine smileand thankful for his kindness. The intimidation of the mask subsided as youwere now slightly aware of his intentions and the nature of his character.

“I…We must get going” Hesaid as he finally looked away. You could tell he was slightly flustered fromyour compliment.

“Yeah…” You softlybegan, knowing you had no choice. You worried for your family since you haven’thad any form of communication with them.

The masked male sensedyour concern and began walking.

“You wanted to know myname earlier…” He started saying as he stared out at the empty path in front ofyou both.

“It’s fine If you don’t wannatell me, I get –“

“Genji. My name is Genji”He interrupted your rambling.

“Oh. I’m [y/n] nice tomeet ya! I do wish however we met under better circumstances” You chuckled and smiled up athim.

“I do not think ourpaths would have crossed if it were not for the hounds” He said bluntly.

“I’m glad it has, though” you reinforced your statement with a small smile.

To be fair, he wasright. You hardly met anyone outside of town, any foreigners that came to thetavern were served by your father or mother. It was odd, meeting someone otherthan the local hunters. It was a nice change of setting despite the dire ordealthat you’re currently in. Yet feelings of fright still lingered in your gut,you had no experience of the outside world, little ammo left for your gun and aninjured ankle. Not the way you imagined you’d leave town, but it was certainlyan interesting one. With Genji, an unlikely saviour, it would certainly be an interestingadventure. Who knows, it may blossom into something more than role of thesaviour and the damsel.
