I scan through the crowd until I find my green haired brother. I quickly make my way to him. I grab his arm and pull him to the side. "Where's Genji," I say urgently.
"What's the matter, brother? Where's the fire?" He says calmly.
I groan then keep scanning the people. I look back at Kazu. "Where is he."
"He's outside, said something about talking to someone."
I nod, leaving him. I make my way outside, quietly calling for Genji. I glance back to the party to make sure none of the Shimada's see me going to him. I quickly find Genji under a cherry blossom tree. He's talking to someone on the phone. I clear my throat, making my presence known. He quickly says goodbye before hanging up and looking at me. "Did you need something, Ichiro-san?"
"I need you to listen to me." I say quietly. I kneel down next to him. "I just overheard The Elders speaking with Hanzo."
"What did they say?"
"They said that they wanted you straightened out, that if Hanzo couldn't do that then he would have to-" I stop, I sense Hanzo's presence getting closer. No, no, no, he can't be doing this now. Why can't he wait until the party dies down.
"Have to what?" Genji asks innocently. His curiosity will have to wait. I grab his hand. I have to do something. I can't allow Hanzo to make the same mistake that I made.
We both soon hear Hanzo call out to Genji. I cover Genji's mouth. He looks up to me, I just shake my head and tell him to be quiet. We hear footsteps getting closer. I pull Genji close to me. We start to levitate. His eyes widen a little. I quietly fly us over to the rock garden. We go into the building left of the enterence.
"Listen," I say quietly, "Hanzo was told, by your father, to straighten you out or kill you." I look towards the door. Genji stands up. I instantly grab his arm. He looks down to me, I shake my head. Genji sighs then gets out of my grip. He goes outside and I follow him. Hanzo's standing in the other side of the rock garden. Genji makes his way over to him. Hanzo almost visibly tenses up. This is probably one of the reasons why Kazu didn't want us interfering with their lives.
"Brother, whatever the problem is, we can talk this out." Genji says, breaking the silence. Hanzo wraps Genji in a hug and Genji is caught off guard by it.
"I don't want to do what they ask, brother... I care too much about you." He says, pulling away from the hug. He chuckles, "And I think I would miss you too much."
I sigh in relief then make my way over to the boys. "I was so scared for both of you." They both look up to me. I put an arm around both of them. The three of us walk inside.
It gets late and all, if not most, of the people have left. Kazu, the boys, and I are sitting on the floor in the middle of the training room. Genji's telling us stories of when he's been away. He speaks of a team that wants to help the world. Kazu mentioned something about the team to me a few weeks ago. He said that he wanted to go with Genji one day, but he didn't know when he could. Genji tells us that a visiting day is coming up, he says that friends and families of the heroes usually come. Hanzo says it would be nice to see where Genji is all the time. Genji just laughs. The conversation continues but I can't stop thinking about a team that is dedicated to doing good. I wonder what kind of people are there.
Kazu and I head home after a while. The thought of Genji and his team keeps going through his mind. I sit on the couch, close my eyes, then begin to meditate. I have to admit, tonight was one of the craziest nights I've had. Kazu soon sits next to me. He nudges my arm. I open my eyes and look at him. He hands me a cup of tea. I sigh as I take it.
"What's bothering you Brother?" He asks before taking a sip of his tea.
"Some things I heard their father tell Hanzo... I'm truly worried for Genji's safety. Though at the same time I'm curious about the people he's hanging out with."
"Overwatch? I've been there once, but it wasn't for very long. The people that I did meet were very nice. Plus Genji thought it would be fun to bring us all one day. I think both you and Hanzo would enjoy it."
I nod. Overwatch, hm? Those people are the people that anger The Elders. If Overwatch is the reason for them wanting Genji dead, then they really have to stand for something good. It's no secret that the Shimada's are apart of the yakuza, but the fact that Overwatch just ignores that amazes me. Then again, maybe he didn't tell them. I wonder what Genji has and hasn't told them. I wonder what Hanzo will think. I know that the more and more I think about it, the more my curiosity grows. I feel as if I have to meet those of Overwatch now.
"Kazu?" I ask as he's getting up. "Do you think we'll be able to meet the Overwatch members soon?"
"Why?" He takes goes into the kitchen to wash our mugs. He glances over to me.
I shrug, "Why not."
He laughs a little, "Genji said something about this weekend. Weren't you listening?"
"I was, ah, lost in thought."
He sighs, quickly finishing the dishes. He goes over to me, puts a hand on my head then sighs. "Ichiro..." He shakes his head, "What are we going to do with you?"
I chuckle. "I'm not sure."
We soon head off to sleep. This weekend will be the weekend that we meet those of Overwatch.
