Deku meets Dante. Is this a good thing or a bad one?
I beg of you, no flames. This is my first DMC fic, so have a heart.
Note: Trunks (DBZ) makes a very brief appearance.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this story, besides Deku. Neko belongs to my friend, and I have her permission. . .
Deku was sitting up in her favorite tree, asleep as usual. She felt something come her way. Her eyes opened and she saw a purple haired Saiyjin sitting on the branch near her feet. "What do you want now?" she asked, closing one eye drowsily.
"Ranma is back at the compound looking for you. He said you owe him a fight, because you splashed him with hot water, when he was in the ladies room." Trunks looked at her disapprovingly. She was always doing things like that.
"Go back there and tell him, that it was just payback. He knows what he did." Deku gave an evil smile.
Trunks smirked and got down. "Deku, payback is going to bite you in the ass one day."
"Right, and I'll bite it right back." Deku said, with her usual nonchalant attitude.
"If you ever met someone that was just like you, what would you say, then?"
"I'd say that the end of the world, was near."
"Weird girl." Trunks began to walk back to the Capsule compound. He was about halfway back to the compound, when he heard a scream fill the air. It was brief, and he felt a power rise for less than a second, then it was gone. He recognized the power. Deku. He rushed back to where she was, but she was gone. All that was left of her, was a necklace that she had been wearing, that had a clear crystal on a black string . . . .
She landed with a thud on the cold hard pavement. It was raining, and an eerie, cold wind blew through the street. The rain came down harder on her, as lightning streaked the black sky. She heard something blow up, and many of the streetlights went out. Deku stood up and looked around. "Where in the hell am I?" She created a small energy ball, and looked around, then heard a scream from above. Deku looked up and saw an ass. Not a man's ass, but a woman's ass. Deku continued to stare, as the ass got nearer and nearer. She took a sidestep, just before it landed on her.
"Ow!" Neko landed with a thud on the ground. She rubbed her behind, and checked to see if her tail was broken or not. Neko looked around and whined as she realized that it was raining. She looked up and saw Deku. She was drenched. Deku's clothes were plastered to her body. "You picked today to wear a white shirt?"
"Not again!" Deku groaned and covered her chest. "Why does this happen to me?"
"You're a black cat, you have bad luck." Neko flashed her teeth in a funny grin.
"Shut up. Neko, who were you wearing that for? Milliardo?" Deku could see Neko's black bra, through the white part of her t-shirt.
"None of your business! Who were you wearing that for?" Neko pointed at Deku's bra, which was also black. Deku's was a lace bra. "Is there someone that you're not telling the rest of us about? Oh I get it! That's for that monkey you live with!"
"Trunks? No! A Saiyjin? Never!" Deku blushed but it was too dark to see it. She was about to say something, but smelled something. Something was dead and rotting. A red light appeared above them and on the ground behind them. The lights turned into portals and tall monsters came out. The portals appeared all around them.
"Hey Deku, does this remind you of when we were little?" Neko asked as she watched the monsters surround them.
"Neko, I can't handle all of these things at once. You're either gonna hafta help me, or you're gonna die, because I won't be able to protect you, while I look out for myself." Deku said, as she dodged the blades that some of the monsters had for hands.
Both girls got into fighting stances. They began attacking the monsters. They wouldn't just die. Deku had repeatedly given the monsters blows, that would knock down trees. She was getting tired. Neko was growing tired as well, she had been trying to kill the same ones the whole time. Every time she knocked them down, they got back up again.
Deku hit the ground exhausted. She had been going for a long time. Her screams filled the air, as the monsters tore her apart. It was a time that she was glad that she wasn't human. The worst those things could do, would be to give her deep wounds. She felt herself start to slip away from consciousness.
Neko did the same, but knew that she wasn't as lucky as Deku. Those things were going to tear her apart. She lost her consciousness as she heard metal slicing through flesh, quickly, and felt herself being lifted over a shoulder. She felt, that whoever was carrying her, was walking quickly.
He looked down at the other girl. One thought came into his mind. This girl, was going to be a hell of a job, to clean up. . . .
Deku awakened, and heard the thunder outside. She opened an eye, and found herself staring into a flourescent light. She felt a sharp pain in her right thigh. She planted her foot on the table she was on, and felt her knee hit something.
"Ow, dammit!" yelped a man. His hair was white, and long. Just falling over his eyes. His eyes were an icy-green. He was tall and muscular. "What was that for? Is that any way, to treat the guy that saved your life?"
"Sorry, it was an accident. Who are you anyway?" She sat up and looked at him.
"What's your name? Mine's not as important right now, as yours is."
"It's Deku. Why is it so important?"
"I want to call the police, so they can take you back to your place, kid."
"Who are you calling a kid? I'm seventeen years old, buster!"
"Who do you think you're raising your voice at, kid?"
"I am not a kid!" Deku crossed her arms. "Dick." She mumbled under her breath.
"I heard that. Want me to toss you back out there, for those monsters to have their way with you? If you don't curb that attitude, you can spend the night getting torn apart by monsters."
"Yes, sir." Deku turned her head so she wouldn't need to look at him. "You're still a dick." She grumbled under her breath, through clenched teeth.
He heard her again, but paid her no mind. "Your friend's a lot more polite than you are, Deku."
Neko walked into the room, carrying a tray with several bottles and a few bandages. "Here, Dante." She handed him the tray. "Hi, Deku. What are you talking about?"
"This guy's a jerk. He keeps calling me a kid."
"You are a kid, compared to us." snickered Neko. She could sense Deku's anger and annoyance. "Chill out, at least be nice to this guy, he saved us from those things outside."
"I'm going outside, I didn't need saving. Maybe, I can find a few of those things, and use them as punching bags." Deku got up off the table. She began to look for the front door.
"Don't go up there!" Neko called, as she watched Deku turn a corner.
"Is she going to puke all over my office?" Dante asked, looking nervously at Neko.
"Cool! I love swords!" Deku was looking at Dante's sword. The Alastor. She was also looking at all of the swords that were through the mounted heads of things he had killed. She thought those were the most realistic things in the world!
Dante walked up front, and took Alastor from Deku. "Didn't your parents teach you to look, but not touch?"
"Didn't your parents ever tell you that you're a dick?"
Dante clenched his fists. He was beginning to have enough of her. "Didn't anyone ever tell you, that you're a little bitch?"
"Why no, they haven't. Thanks for the compliment, dickie."
"That does it, get out. I save you, and this is the thanks I get? Go on, get out of here!" Dante pointed to the door.
Deku smirked and left after again calling him the name he hated more than anything. She noticed that Dante looked ready to kill her at any moment. His eyes were red, and his fists were clenched. She walked out of his shop, and immediately encountered the same monsters from before. She smiled, and began to fight them in the rain.
Dante watched her from inside his shop. She was doing amazingly well, but she needed a weapon to kill one of those. Then he noticed a flaw, that could cost her, her life. She had gone out there with an open wound. It was sure to attract. . .
Deku heard a loud roar. She found a monster that looked like a panther. It frightened her. She could understand its roars. It was saying: "Blood of a mortal woman.", as it approached her. Deku kicked at it, tried to punch it, and shot her most powerful attacks at it. It seemed immune to all of her efforts.
Dante watched, she was too fast for them, but her injury was ensuring her death. She was caught. A second one, had emerged and had pinned Deku to the ground. He couldn't watch this a second time. First his mother, and now a girl he just met. He wasn't going to let it happen again. He took out his guns, Ebony and Ivory.
A bullet whizzed by Deku. It knocked the beast away from her. The thing was shot many times, before it fell to a puddle, and a black ball rose from it. Soon, a large sword was slashing the ball. It turned red, and melted away. The same thing happened to the other beast. Something black, carrying a large sword, slashed through the other monsters. Her eyes closed, then opened again, and she saw Dante. Standing tall, next to her. "Where'd that thing go?" she asked, looking up at him. God, he looked savage.
"What thing?" Dante gave her a fake puzzled look.
"That black thing. It was big and fast. Like you. . ." She trailed off, as she compared the two figures. "Dante, what are you? You were that black thing, weren't you?"
He didn't say anything. He picked her up, and carried her back inside, where she later got the scolding of her life.
Neko heard Deku and Dante arguing in Dante's bedroom. Apparently, Deku almost getting killed for the second time, in one night, had greatly upset him.
"Deku, I swear. If you had gotten killed!" Dante shouted. He was in her face.
"What? You don't give a crap about me, so why would you care if those things had killed me?" Deku crossed her arms, as she plopped onto his bed, then crossed her legs. "You're the one who sent me out there, in the first place, Dante."
"Don't screw around with me." He glared, then noticed that she wasn't paying him any attention, anymore. She had found a distraction, and was giggling.
"Please, don't tell me you read this crap." Deku snickered, as she flipped a page in the magazine. "I could do better than them!"
"Kids shouldn't be looking at that stuff. That's why it's called an adult magazine."
"Eww. . .I did not know you could do that with a bowling pin. . . I didn't want to know either." Deku laid down on her stomach, continuing to criticize, as she flipped through the pages.
"Give me that!" He snatched it from her. "Like I said, kids shouldn't look at this stuff."
"I am not a kid! Neko is only a few months older than me. I'm not a kid!"
"If you're going to look at something, look at this." He tossed a different magazine to her, and watched as she was instantly amused by his favorite magazine. Weapons&Ki Monthly.
"Dante. . ." Deku looked up from her reading.
"Hmm?"
"Thank you, for both times, tonight." Deku sat up, as Dante sat beside her.
"It was nothing. I've got a question."
"What is it?" Deku knew what he was going to ask. Just about everyone asked this sooner or later. He was going to ask. . .
"Deku, what are you?"
"What do you think I am?"
"Well, let me see now." His hand slid down her back, and grasped her black tail. "Judging from this, I'd say you were part feline, of the large variety." He let go of her tail, and put a finger under her chin, then tilted it up so he could look directly into her eyes. They were ice blue. Her pupils were pale yellow and vertical. "Judging from these, I'd say you were related to a feline and a lizard."
"Well, you're wrong about the lizard thing. Now, what are you?" Deku pushed him back, so that he was lying with his back against the mattress.
"What do you think I am?"
"You're not a complete human, that's for sure. Your eyes turn hell fire red, when you're mad." She walked her fingers up his chest. "You're definitely not a whole human, because you're so fast."
"You're right, but there's no way I'm telling you what the other half of me, is." Dante grabbed her hand and sat up. "Go to sleep. If I get mad at you one more time tonight, I might kill you myself."
"Dante, why do you keep saving me?"
Dante pretended not to hear her, and walked out of the room. Neko went in afterwards, and he could hear the girls talking. The question lingered in his mind. Why did he keep saving her? She was a beautiful girl, why not save her, right? No, that wasn't it. Was it. . .was he? No! That's the last thing it could be! Even though, she was very. . .no! It wasn't that! He felt something. He always felt this when he was about to have a premonition of something. His muscles tightened, and his fists clenched as the vision came. A man in black. Neko kicking and screaming. Deku crying into Dante's chest, with torn clothes. Neko chained to a wall. Deku and Dante nodding in agreement.
He snapped out of it, and looked around him. Something was going to happen. Something bad was going to happen to those two girls, that were in his bedroom. Dante noticed that there was a strange silence. He began to wonder if his premonition had already begun. He hurried to his bedroom, and found his bed empty, but did find two girls asleep on the floor. Neko's feet were sticking out from the far side of the bed. Deku was right in front of him, sleeping peacefully.
The next morning, Deku awoke and looked around. She had forgotten where she was, until she saw Dante asleep on the bed. Deku couldn't help but snicker. He looked so harmless. Big, scary, dangerous Dante, was sleeping like a baby. A big, slightly snoring baby, but a baby, nonetheless. She was tempted to sit next to him, and run her fingers through his hair. She couldn't resist! On soundless feet, she walked to the side of his bed. It was too perfect! She held her tail above him, and slowly began to lower it. She was about to mess with his ear, when Dante turned to face her, grabbed her tail, and pointed a gun at her.
"What do you think you're doing?" Dante growled, as he pointed the gun to her nose. "Well?"
"Don't you know it's not polite, to grab a woman's tail?" Deku tried to yank her tail from his grip, but it wouldn't budge. "Let go of my tail!"
"No, what were you doing?"
"I was going to mess with your ear! You were too adorable to not bother!" Deku again tried to move her tail. Dante had a grip. "Please, let go." Deku said, through clenched teeth. She hated the word, please. Dante released her. "Thanks, dick."
"Stop calling me that!" Dante poked her nose with the end of his gun. "So help me, Deku! If you call me that name, one more time, I will blow your brains out!"
"Man, someone woke up wrong." Deku looked at the barrel of his gun.
"You try having a vision like I . . ." He trailed off. "Never mind, you wouldn't understand."
"Try me." Deku looked curious.
Dante didn't know why, but he knew that he could trust Deku. There was a long silence, where they just stared at eachother, before Dante began to tell her. Deku listened attentively. He watched her expressions as he vividly described what he saw.
Deku laughed slightly. "Dante, I don't cry. I never will cry, so you know that this whole thing is just your imagination. There's nothing that can make me cry, not even onions." It was true, she didn't even shed a tear, when those monsters tried to rip her apart.
"Deku, there is something, that will even make me cry. If there is something that can bring a tear to my eye, I know that something will make you cry."
"No, there's nothing that can make me cry, Dante."
"As you say, but I know what I saw."
End part one. . .Should there be a part two? Tell me!!!
