Hunter or hunted

[Spunny]

The sky was a bright gold color as the sun was setting, already evening. Not many villages were around, all surrounded by large forests, trees and shadows covering everything as it got darker and darker. For Tomo the Demon Hunter, these conditions was the kind he was used to. He was dressed in loose, sleeveless shirt, while his pants kept his sword that he used to attack the demons with, many engravings in the blade.

Tomo took steps inside of the forest, knowing for a fact that a demon was nearby due to the havoc recently being caused inside the nearby villages. He hadn't seen the demon yet, but he needed to stop all of the havoc. Besides, he had done this before,and he was arrogant and sure of his success against this demon.

Bii, a demon of no more than a decade of earth years grinned, baring jagged white canines and his barefaced lust for causing mischief. He stood with his gloved hands on his proud hips, his short lavender hair flickering in the faintest of breezes as evening settled in. It was a hoot to goad those idiotic humans... implementing a little taste of demonic chaos... they ran about like headless chickens when everything was in disorder. Bii liked it most that way. He was the youngest son of the greatest of earth-dwelling demons; Akumei: a devil who slew the tallest of mountains with a flourish of his wrist, who froze the hearts of even the bravest of men with a single look. But, his awesome, prevailing father rarely ventured out of his own domain, the Kibah mountains, to cause havoc. He mostly chose to rule the realm of demons situated beyond. A tedious, dreary job. It was that which Bii, the youngest of the great demon's brood, riled against. That content to withdraw from mayhem, and create the order that the lavender-haired demon child despised about humans so much.

His small, burgundy horns, fixed like barrettes behind either ear, glinted as he turned down his gaze to the forest below, his smirk rising wickedly as he noted the human warrior venturing into his own domain, with intent and purpose. What was the guy planning to do? Slay him? Carry him back to the ruined village as a prize? Or maybe he was just a dumbass who didn't know where the hell he was. Either way, Bii smirked, leathery tail flickering this way and that, before he plonked himself down on his makeshift throne, waiting for the human to follow the telltale signs of his presence like breadcrumbs. He was glad that he'd sent his few, weakling servants away to gather food and forage for him. He wanted this guy all to himself.

Tomo always kept one hand on the hilt of his sword, prepared in case a demon or any of their servants, or some wild animal, tried to attack him. It wouldn't be the first time that he'd have been attacked from behind, or from above. He had been into that situation so much, his ears and eyes were trained to keep watched for anything that might seem suspicious, out of place, or any signs of an animal. In fact, it was an animal that gave a thin, white scar running down his cheek. But now he was completely prepared for anything, whether it be from above, behind, or even from underground, he knew that no demon would be able to get the best of him.
At least, he thought.

It wasn't long, of course, until he found the trai leading to the demon's throne, following every sign that was unnatural, whether it be treets with marks in them, dead animal bodies, or even just footprints. His hand was clenching the hilt of his sword tightly, drawing it out of it's sheath as he knew he got closer and closer to the demon. But he wasn't expecting the demon to be a child, and it was obvious of that when he found the demon, looking at the boy on his makeshift throne, his eyes slightly widened while his hand loosened on his sword, whether from shock or just from the thought that this would be easy was unknown.

"Yo!" Bii greeted lazily, chin propped up by a small hand. His large, pink-iris' regarded the human with childlike intrigue, unashamed, innocent. His tail flickered with disinterest after a while, and he leaned back, stretching against the stone mound that was his throne, "Have you got something to say? Or are you just gonna stand there lookin' dumb?" the demon child grinned at himself, pleased at his approach to the situation. He looked like a real warrior. Bii wrinkled his nose at the scent of him; bawdy, masculine. There was another scent there; one that would send thrills of ice up any devil's back... had they not held so much raw power within them as Akumei's youngest.

The feral smile only widened, "Oh! I get it! You're here as a gift from those villagers, right? Some kinda human toy? You brought presents with you? Candy?" the big, pink eyes were radiant with wonder and interest, and he hopped down from the throne, and paced manfully over to the strapping human, intent on searching him for the nonexistent gifts.

The demon hunter was still stunned for a moment, most of the demon's words being lost on him as he tried to recover from the thought of the demon being..well, a child. Demons this young didn't usually cause problems..at least he thought since he never saw a demon this young before. It wasn't until the demon began walking to him that he snapped out of his shock, backing up and lifting his blade to point it at the demon. "I'm not a human toy, demon! Myname is Tomo, and I am here to slay you and bring your head back to the nearby villages and relieve them from all of the chaos that you cause for them!"

He positioned his legs to where he could either run forward, or back up according to whether the demon would run or fight, although it was more than likely he'd fight. "I'd hate to cut off you're head, since you seem to be still a child, but a demon is a demon." He raised his blade now, positioned the blade to where he could easily attack or block an attack. "Prepare to die demon."

"Tomo...?" Bii chirped in question, tilting his head. He then shook it once, twice, and then thrice, "No, that's dumb. I wanna call you..." he looked Tomo up and down, tracing his well-built frame for some form of inspiration. He then smiled as he found something quite perfect, "I'll call you Scratch! No, Scar! How's that?" When he saw that the human would not agree to his claims, he blinked, momentarily struck, before his face hardened.

He stepped back from the blade, his feet barely issuing a sound even over the abundance of leaves. He was evidently very light-footed. He narrowed his cerise eyes to slits, "SHUT UP!! I'm not a child! I can cause all this chaos and mayhem, and I lead my own army, and go to bed whenever I want!!" he griped, before turning his head away in a huff. He gave a glance back, fine eyebrows raised, "Iya. You couldn't cut off my head even if you weren't such a lame dumbass. I don't even want to waste my time fighting you when you won't last that long at all," he seemed entirely bored, and he kneaded the back of his head, pouting, only to turn back and smirk wickedly, "Na, na! That's right... how about I turn that around a little?" he made a waving gesture with his hands, "I like things topsy turvy! How about... instead of you taking MY head back... You can take your BUTT back all beaten up?" Bii grinned, and laughed with hearty, childlike thrills, "Yeah! I'll give you a spankin'! Then you can show those stupid, puny villagers what they're up against!" The little demon cracked his knuckles, and moved forward, tail lashing as he eyed up Tomo with intent. It'd be a hoot to put this guy in his place! Pop had given his older brothers spankings before, sessions that would possibly kill a normal human, and Bii had always wanted to try it out.

Maybe this guy wouldn't be so boring, after all...

[Spunny]

Tomo's eyes widened slightly, his face flushing a light red color at the demon's words. He wanted..to spank him? He was a damned 25 year old man! Just the thought of being spanked by someone that young and small was... He growled and clenched his blade tightly, saying "Sorry demon, but that's not how it's going to happen. I'm going to cut off your head and show the villagers that your dead." He gripped the blade tightly with both hands, preparing himself to charge at the demon. "A child like you should prove no match for me. Demon or not, you're still just a child, and that makes it all the easier to slay you." He said with a smile.

With that, he charged at the demon, his feet pounding heavily on the floor and crush all the leaves. All he wanted to do was cut the head of the demon off with one attack with his blade. The demon boy did seem powerful, and he didn't want to have to put up with the fight the demon might give. With that thought, he lifted the blade, bringing it down in an arc that would cut through the demon's neck if successful.

As the strapping young man charged him, the little demon made a mock look of dismay, only to frown and angle his head away from the chop, and he rolled, pushing himself up on his hands and then tossing himself up from the ground, so that his ankles could latch about the human's neck. The youthful oni then forced himself down, flipping the man and sending him flying. When he landed, dazed in a bed of leaves, Bii landing atop his chest, and then settling on his stomach. The boy seemed to be holding the man down for something, and once the rustling about them was almost deafening, what with Tomo being emersed in them, Bii smiled with a clear, startling blitheness, and he leapt off him. Gazing at the blade that Tomo had been forced to yield when he was so savagely thrown.

Furred limbs coiled about the bounty-hunter's arms and legs, and then his waist, a dry, living, swarm of vines enveloping his broad, manly figure, trapping him against the earth.

"That's Giito. My name's Bii. But you can call me... hm... 'master'!" Bii giggled as he swung the blade, his pet trapping his new pet down to the floor with ease, as though it were made for that kind of questionable bondage.

[Spunny]

Tomo certainly didn't expect the young demon boy to latch his ankles around his neck. In fact, it was that complete surprise that made the demon be able to easily flip the man, along with his demon strength of course. When Tomo snapped out of his daze, he shot a glare at Bii, trying to get the demon off of him until he the rustling was almost deafening, the man covering his ears to try to block out the noise. He had no chance when the vines and furred limbs grabbed him, keeping him trapped against the earth with no chance of escape on his own.

"LIke hell I will!" he yelled at the demon boy, squirming as much as he could to try to get free, despite the fact that he knew he had no chance. "I'm not calling you master! I'm calling you what you are! A filthy, disgusting demon! Now let me go before I free myself and cut off every single one of your limbs before cutting off your head!" he yelled at him. Sure, it was a bluff, there was no way he'd be that cruel to a demon that looked that human, or even get free, but hey, he wasn't going to let himself just be trapped without threatening the creature.
