This is my first fan fiction, so please rate and be gentle. This story is a crossover between DMC: Devil May Cry and History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. The rights go to the original creators.
The Timeline of Kenichi takes off three weeks after their fight at the carnival. The timeline from DMC starts in an alternate version of Dante and Virgil's end fight. This time Virgil defeats Dante and uses Yamato to send Dante to an alternate universe (Kenichi's universe.)
Chapter 1
Dante awoke in the middle of a dark and unfamiliar parking lot. A bright blue light lit up the night and a god like explosion destroyed several cars. Dante felt an excruciating pain all over his body, but especially on his back where his nephilim mark was. Dante collapsed on the broken asphalt, unable to move.
Dante glanced at a nearby sign written in Japanese. He was able to speak Japanese fluently but had a hard time reading it.
Japan? Dante thought, How did I get here?
People living nearby rushed outside in their pajamas to investigate. A woman in her nightgown spotted the collapsed Dante on the ground and rushed to his side to help.
"Oh my god!" she shouted, "Don't be dead."
Dante chuckled. He may have been in extreme pain, but he wouldn't die so easily.
"Don't worry sweetie." Dante answered weakly.
He tried to help himself off the ground, but the pain only got worse and caused him to double over in pain. A man dressed in pajama bottoms and a brown sweat shirt rushed to Dante's side and helped Dante to his feet with the woman.
"Take it easy." the man said, "You don't look so good."
"Oh that's sweet." Dante chuckled sarcastically.
Dante took a deep breath and attempted to heal his wounds. However this only caused him to collapse in pain even worse, his nephilim mark simmering. Dante screamed in agony.
This is embarrassing. He thought.
Dante ignorantly attempted to heal his wounds again, refusing to give up. Dante looked at the puddle of blood rushing from his wounds and looked up as he saw his surroundings start to fade.
"Oh no!" the man said worriedly, "He's going into shock!"
The sound became muffled and Dante found it hard to hear anything at all.
"Call an ambulance!" the man pointed at the woman. The woman nodded in agreement rushing back to her house, but being stopped.
"We can handle this." Dante heard a calm voice and saw two dark figures approach him.
"Vergil." Dante grunted angrily.
The final light faded from Dante's vision and he was asleep.
Akisame Koetsuji and Kensei Ma looked down at Dante. He wore a grey tank top, a black hooded coat with red lining and a British flag arm patch, black faded pants, and black army boots. His hair was black with the sides cut off and a small white patch on the back.
"Akisame." Kensei said under his beard, "Get these people out of here. I'll stop the bleeding."
Akisame nodded while Kensei knelt down next to Dante and removed his coat and tank top. The crowd of people looked at Akisame eagerly awaiting a response.
"GOOOO! HOOOMMME!" Akisame shouted scaring the crowd away.
"There." Kensei quickly said, "I've stopped the bleeding temporarily, but we should get him home so we can tend to him further."
"I agree." Akisame said picking Dante up and lifting him over his shoulder.
He and Kensei ran back to Ryozanpaku at inhuman speed. With Akisame carrying Dante and Kensei carrying his coat and tank top. They quickly returned to Ryozanpaku and Kensei held the door for Kensei when they got there. By that time most of the residents were already asleep.
"Let's try not to wake anybody." Akisame said opening the door to the main building.
Akisame walked to the back of the big room and set Dante on the floor.
"I'll fetch a bed for him to lay on." Akisame said leaving Kensei alone with the fainted Dante.
The tall Elder swooped into the room and stood behind Kensei.
"Who is this?" He asked.
Kensei looked at the Elder, not the least bit startled. "I don't know." Kensei answered, "We found him. He is pretty banged up."
Akisame returned with a small cot and set it down next to Dante. Shigure hung upside down next to the Elder.
"Who is he?" She asked.
Akisame lifted Dante off the ground, "We don't know. He is hurt though and he has lost a lot of blood."
Suddenly the twin pistols Ebony and Ivory fell to the floor. Shigure dropped from the beams and picked them up.
"Guns?" the Elder said confused, "Why would someone need to carry around such weapons."
"They are... dirty." Shigure said blankly.
Akisame and Kensei both tended to Dante. Kensei applying special medicine to Dante's wounds. He sat Dante up and looked at his back. He and Akisame spotted Dante's Nephilim tattoo which appeared to be a winged sword going through a ring.
"A tattoo?" Kensei asked.
"No." Akisame quickly answered, "That is not ink. It looks like it was branded."
Kensei applied medicine to the area of burnt flesh causing Dante to wake up briefly cringing in pain then fall asleep. Akisame wrapped the wounds on Dante's arms and torso then set him back on the bed.
"He should be fine." Akisame said, "He should wake up in the morning."
"That's good." Elder said, "Good he isn't dead."
Akisame suddenly spotted the necklace around Dante's neck. Specifically the red ruby on the end. Akisame looked closer at the red ruby which appeared to have red smoke swirling on the inside.
"What is this?" Akisame asked removing the necklace from Dante's neck.
"Now now." the Elder said, "Lets let him sleep. We'll have plenty of time to talk to him in the morning."
All of them headed off to bed. Akisame still studying Dante's necklace and Shigure taking Ebony and Ivory to get cleaned.
