Something Good
"I can't believe they agreed to let you hunt this thing during the day."
The hunter cast a glance at his companion. "They've already lost two hunters to it. I think they would've agreed to anything. What's wrong? Too bright out here for you?"
There was a flash of gleaming teeth under the wide-brimmed hat his associate wore. "I'm a demon, not a vampire. The sunlight doesn't bother me- surely you haven't forgotten already?"
"And I'm sure you haven't forgotten the reason we're out here? Have you found any traces of it yet?"
"We haven't agreed on my price yet. What are you offering?"
"A cut of the profits?"
"What do I want with money?"
Heero rolled his eyes. "Hell if I know, you took it last time."
A shrug. "The vampire was about to tear your throat out, I went with the easy solution."
"You could have just let it eat me."
"Why? I'm saving that pleasure for myself."
"You can't. I know your name, Duo. You can't hurt me."
The demon laughed soundlessly. "You might forget it, I might find a loophole, or maybe I wasn't being literal."
"Ah. So then you might accept oh," Heero smirked a little, "something good from me in payment."
"Something good?" Duo paused, one hand on the marble mausoleum beside him. "I suppose it will have to do. The vampire is in here."
"Awake?"
"Very much so. And very angry."
"When aren't they?" Heero sighed and pulled out his shotgun. "Care to open the door for me?"
"Happily. Try not to shoot me this time?"
"Not my fault you got in the way last time."

"That was messy." Heero leaned against the side of the mausoleum and wiped the blood off his shotgun.
"I hate when they bleed all over like that." Duo shook himself and settled his hat more firmly on his head. "Why can't you hunt something like werewolves?"
"They're hard to catch. Have you seen how fast they run?"
"It'd be good exercise for you- speaking of which..." Heero found himself pinned against the marble wall. "You promised me something good..."
Heero closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the warmth of the demon's body against his. Then he reached into his coat and pulled out the object he'd tucked into his pocket earlier. He dropped it into Duo's hand with a smile. "There you go. Something good."
Duo blinked at him. "It's an apple."
"Apples are good."
Shaking his head, Duo glared at his companion. "Next time, I am so going to make you get specific- no, I am going to be specific- and you are just going to have to agree."
"It's not my fault you never give yourself time to bargain."
"Good point. So let's start now for the next job..."
