Author Notes: Lately my interest in Tarot cards has risen, so I decided to do a story revolving around Tarot cards. This story will be a mix between Devil May cry and various fantasy elements.

Chapter 1

Since banishing his brother to the underworld, life has never been better for Dante. Devil may cry was booming with business. All this success turned Dante into a local celebrity, and along with the success came all the excess that followed. Needless to say Dante rarely slept alone. Dante's business partner, Lady did what she could to keep Dante in line. In fact if it wasn't for Lady, Dante would never be on schedule. She also handled the paper work as well as the bills. Dante loved to spend money, not keep track of it. Life was good.

March 7th

It was a slow night at Devil May Cry. In fact, the entire week was pretty uninteresting. Dante sat at his desk and twirled ivory in his right hand. He kicked his feet up and sighed. He grabbed a black cell phone off the desk and flipped it open.

"Big City Pizza, What can we getcha?"

"Yeah this is Dante. I need a large pepperoni pizza."

"Alright Dante, we will get that out to you ASAP."

Dante clipped the phone shut and set it back down on his desk. He tilted his head back.

"Hey Lady!" Dante shouted.

Lady emerged from an office on the second floor and peered over the balcony.

"What do you want? I'm kinda busy right now."

"I ordered a pizza, you want some?"

"What kind?" Lady said as she leaned over the balcony.

"Pepperoni."

"Yeah sure, don't bug me until it gets here. I gotta finish this paperwork." Lady did a 180 and walked back into the office, shutting the door behind her.

Dante leaned forward in his chair. "God what stick is up her ass today?"

Dante heard the door upstairs open and Lady shouted from the door way, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing."

Lady huffed and went back into the office, and slammed the door shut.

10 minutes passed, until Dante heard a knock at the front door.

"Hey Lady, pizza's here."

Dante approached the front door and opened it. Standing there was a greasy teenager in a blue uniform holding a pizza box.

"Alright thats gonna be $10.21, there man."

Dante grabbed the box and glared at the young man. "Tell the boss to put it on my tab."

The kid looked confused but just shook his head and turned around. Dante watched as he took a few steps forward then stopped.

"Hold on kid, I forget to give you your tip." Dante reached into his pocket and pulled out a five dollar bill. The kid didn't move. "Hey kid, are you deaf or something?" The kid slowly turned around, but something wasn't right. The kid was shaking uncontrollably and blood was leaking out the corners of his mouth. Dante looked down and saw the arrow embedded in his stomach. Dante looked on in shock as the kid dropped to his knees and then fell on his face, dead. Dante looked up to see a troop of a dozen or more demons, four of them were wielding bows. All four of them pulled back on their strings and unleashed a barrage of arrows. Dante reacted quickly slamming the door shut, hearing the arrows impact the heavy wooden door.

"Hey Dante, is that the pizza?" Lady called out from the second floor.

"We gotta bigger problem." Dante said as a demon crashed through the window, with a large sickle in his hand. The troop of demons then crashed through the door. "Thats the problem." Dante quickly ran to his desk and leaped over it, grabbing rebellion off a shelf. A demon followed close behind, leaping over the wooden desk. Dante quickly slashed the creature, causing it to disintegrate into a pile of sand.

"Dante!" Lady came running down the stairs with Kalina Ann. A demon tried to attack, but Lady quickly countered with the an upward slash, destroying the demon. Dante grabbed both ebony and ivory from his desk and went to work, killing five of the ugly bastards with successive shots.

"Dante, Get down!" Lady shouted. Dante ducked, and watched an arrow scream overhead, hitting the bookshelf. Lady lifted the Kalina Ann to her shoulder and fired a rocket. The shell rocketed across the lobby and hit demon, sending the demon flying out the building. A few seconds later a concussive bang rattled through the night.

"Good shot, now watch how the big boys do it." Dante leaped out from behind his desk, and cut down four demons in less than five seconds. All four collapsed to piles of sand. The lobby went silent.

Lady went over to Dante. "You alright?"

"Not a scratch on me." Dante turned to Lady, when a ear piercing shriek. Dante and Lady turned to see a demon running full speed at them with a scythe raised high.

"Shit!" Dante shouted as he reached for rebellion, but before he could react, an arrow pierced into the desk behind them. The demon staggered for a brief moment before collapsing into sand.

"What the hell?" Lady questioned as she studied the arrow. Dante went to the door and looked out into the night. Nothing and nobody was around. Dante scratched his head and asked, "Where the hell did that arrow come from?"

"I don't know, but you should take a look at this." Lady turned and held up an envelope. Dante grabbed the envelope from her hand and looked at it. The front of the envelope read "DANTE". Dante looked up at lady, who just shrugged. She sat on the desk as Dante tore the paper envelope open. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and quickly read it over.

"Whats it say?"

"Listen to this: Dante, your assistance is needed as soon as possible. Come to the edge of the forest on the edge of the city at midnight tomorrow night. Come alone. Again this is urgent. Looks like some one needs my help." Dante said as he folded up the piece of paper.

"Yeah, but why would they want to meet you by the forest. That place is a hotbed for demon activity. This doesn't sound right, not right at all." Lady said as she slid off the desk. "Plus they want you to go alone. I know you are smarter than this Dante." Lady folded her arms across her chest.

Dante scratched his chin, "They said it was urgent. Plus if they pay me, then who can argue with that?"

Lady shook her head and scoffed. She turned to walk away. Dante called out. "Lady wait." She turned back to Dante, with the same scorning face. "I'll sleep on it, alright." Lady nodded as Dante walked over to one of the piles of sand and pulled the pizza box out from it. He blew the sand off and looked at Lady. "Alright, lets eat."
